<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

&#8220;When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn&#8217;t bend over and paint her toenails anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That&#8217;s love.&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black"><br />
&#8220;When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.<br />
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">Billy &#8211; age 4</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black"><br />
&#8220;Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">Karl &#8211; age 5</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<hr align="center" size="2" width="100%" />  </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black"><br />
&#8220;Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">Chrissy &#8211; age 6</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<hr align="center" size="2" width="100%" />  </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black"><br />
&#8220;Love is what makes you smile when you&#8217;re tired.&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">Terri &#8211; age 4</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black"><br />
&#8220;Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">Danny &#8211; age 7</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<hr align="center" size="2" width="100%" />  </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black"><br />
&#8220;Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.<br />
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">Emily &#8211; age 8</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<hr align="center" size="2" width="100%" />  </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black"><br />
&#8220;Love is what&#8217;s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">Bobby &#8211; age 7 (Wow!)</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

&#8220;If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black"><br />
&#8220;Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">Noelle &#8211; age 7</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<hr align="center" size="2" width="100%" />  </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black"><br />
&#8220;Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">Tommy &#8211; age 6</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black"><br />
&#8220;During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black">He was the only one doing that. I wasn&#8217;t scared anymore.&#8221;</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p></font><font face="Times New Roman" size="5"><br />
Dress Code</p>
<p>1. It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a pay raise.</p>
<p>2. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a pay raise.</p>
<p>3. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a pay raise.</p>
<p>Sick Days</p>
<p>We will no longer accept a doctor&#8217;s certificate as proof of sickness.</p>
<p>If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.</p>
<p>Holiday Days</p>
<p>Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday &amp; Sunday.</p>
<p>Compassionate Leave</p>
<p>This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements.</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="5"><br />
In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch break and subsequently leave one hour early.</p>
<p>Toilet Use</p>
<p>1. Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the cubicles.</p>
<p>2. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the cubicle door will open, and your picture will be taken.</p>
<p>3. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company notice board under the &#8220;Chronic Offenders&#8221; category.</p>
<p>4. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company&#8217;s mental health policy.</p>
<p>Lunch Break</p>
<p>1. Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy.</p>
<p>2. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.</p>
<p>3. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that&#8217;s all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.</p>
<p>Thank you for your loyalty to our company. Remember we are an employer of choice and we are here to provide a positive employment experience.</p>
<p>Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations,contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mythoughtsideasandramblings.com">My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom  . . .</a></p><p>Went to a Lia Sophia party on Tuesday.  One of my friends had it.  Was pretty cool.  I had checked out the jewelry online and didn&#8217;t really care for it.  However, once you see this stuff in person &#8212; wow!  I ended up setting up to have a party.  It&#8217;ll be sometime in June.  If you are interested in anything, check out their webpage at www.liasophia.com and let me know if you want anything.  They also have a lifetime replacement guarantee.  If you are not satisfied for any reason (including you just not liking the piece anymore), they will replace it as long as you own the piece.  Since Madison seems to wreck everything nice I have, I like this guarantee.  <img src='http://mythoughtsideasandramblings.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile My Week In Review" class='wp-smiley' title="My Week In Review" /> </p>
<p>Sooo back to the yard we go this weekend.  Our goal is pull out the old swingset and the tarp underneath.  We are going to try and grow grass there.  Anybody got any advice on how to do this?  We went and bought fertilizer and grass seed.  I wanted to just get sod, but Bill said no.  Also, we cut the grass last night.  My god, it was about a foot long.  I could not believe it.  We have 2 full garbage bags of grass clippings.  We also ended up having to buy a weed wacker.  We&#8217;ll be playing with this shortly.</p>
<p>We also bought Madison a bird feeder.  She likes to look out the front window and talk and wave to the birds in the front trees.  We&#8217;ll see how this works.</p>
<p>The exciting news happened this morning.  Madison pulled her diaper down and said potty.  Bill ran her to the bathroom and she actually went on the toilet.  We did a potty dance and are very excited for her.  This has been extremely hit and miss with her.  Most of the time she does not tell us.  She could care less if she&#8217;s sitting in a wet diaper.  If anyone has any potty training advice, we&#8217;ll happily take it.</p>
<p>Well time to get running.  Hope everyone has a great weekend.</p>
