Sometimes, I want to be taller. Sometimes I’m contented. Then I’d want to be plumper, but sometimes I’d feel I’m Fat- then I’d want to lose weight. And before I lose a few pounds- I’d feel I’m too skinny and I’d want to gain some kilos. Then when I finally get down to eating- I’d feel appalling and gigantic. Then the cycle repeats itself. Sometimes I feel Proud of myself- That’d I’m just fine the way I am. But moments later, I’d feel- Not good enough. And worst, is when I feel utterly dreadful; as though I’m a revolting skinny stick-insect around- or perhaps a hideous stout Green Troll. You question me- Why don’t you try out a relationship? Well, I’ll tell you why Missy- &lt;br /&gt;I’m simply not good enough&lt;br /&gt;But What’s good enough?&lt;br /&gt;I Was Never good enough&lt;br /&gt;And I’ll Never be good enough&lt;br /&gt;Does that answer your question?- No? Well, I’d just have to go on saying that I haven’t found the right one- That I’m too young – That Singlehood and No Dating is the Best- That I’ve no time &lt;br /&gt;Which are all actually pretty darn true. &lt;br /&gt;Still. You tell me- Florence, you’re so Lucky.&lt;br /&gt;Lucky? Lucky? You tell me I’m lucky? Yes. I am. Very lucky in fact. To have awesome friends and a Caring family. But I’m not lucky- To have Me as Me. What on earth is wrong with me? Why am I bothering to express how I really feel- Behind all the jokes and Never-Ending Chit-Chats. I’m sure many of You Missies feel the same way as I do. That Your simply not good enough.&lt;br /&gt;But what’s good enough?&lt;br /&gt;You were never good enough&lt;br /&gt;And you’ll never be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally.A Post.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3640360789737346729-5041705937647957233?l=andiknowshesflorence.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3640360789737346729/posts/default/5041705937647957233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3640360789737346729/posts/default/5041705937647957233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andiknowshesflorence.blogspot.com/2007/09/something-not-quite-good-enough.html' title='Something- Not quite good enough'/><author><name>iesha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15774381437609751536</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640360789737346729.post-136913081629121567</id><published>2007-08-29T15:57:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-29T15:58:37.699+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Vrey Menaningful</title><content type='html'>Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in diapers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. What do you do if your boyfriend walks-out? You shut the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. If they put a man on the moon - they should be able to put them all up there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Never let your man's mind wander - it's too little to be out alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Go for younger men. You might as well - they never mature anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Men are all the same - they just have different faces, so that you can tell them apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Definition of a bachelor; a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Women don't make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself types.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Best way to get a man to do something, is to suggest they are too old for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. If you want a committed man, look in a mental hospital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. If he asks what sort of books you're interested in, tell him checkbooks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Remember a sense of humor does not mean that you tell him jokes, it means that you laugh at his.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Sadly, all men are created equal...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;15.

I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What do they say?” the priest inquired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say, “Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That’s obscene!” the priest exclaimed; then he thought for a moment. &lt;br /&gt;You know,” he said, “I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible.  Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we’ll put them in the cage with Bill and Jacob. My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you,” the woman responded, “this may very well be the solution.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest’s house. &lt;br /&gt;As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage, holding rosary beads and praying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them. After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: “Hi, we’re hookers!  Do you want to have some fun?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was stunned silence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed, “Put the beads away, Bill, our prayers have been answered.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(:&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3640360789737346729-8502028109742589630?l=andiknowshesflorence.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andiknowshesflorence.blogspot.com/feeds/8502028109742589630/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3640360789737346729&amp;postID=8502028109742589630&amp;isPopup=true' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3640360789737346729/posts/default/8502028109742589630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3640360789737346729/posts/default/8502028109742589630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andiknowshesflorence.blogspot.com/2007/08/i-love-catholic-parrots.html' title='I LOVE CATHOLIC PARROTS'/><author><name>iesha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15774381437609751536</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640360789737346729.post-1896825874830923356</id><published>2007-08-16T14:56:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-16T15:09:14.577+08:00</updated><title type='text'>this is awesome!NUTRITION</title><content type='html'>In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then using God’s bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said “You want hot fudge with that? And Man said “Yes!” And Woman said “I’ll have one too withchocolate chips”. And lo they gained 10 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And God created the healthy yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So God said “Try my fresh green salad”. And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God then said “I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them”. And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Man’s cholesterol went through the roof. Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium andgood nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Man and Woman laughedand cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger. Then Satan said “You want fries with that?” and Man replied “Yes, And super size ‘em”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Satan said “It is good.” And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.&lt;br /&gt;God sighed and created quadruple by-pass surgery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION:&lt;br /&gt;After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here’s the final word on nutrition and health:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than usItalians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONCLUSION:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eat and drink what you like.

" but If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? i mean... why do you bother to look good?in your underwear even!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? arent you the one getting 'broke'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a race car not called a racist? or should the person playing the piano be called a player? AHH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I am” is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that “I do” is the longest sentence?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh.. youknow how drivers licenses have the 'hair colour'section.. then iwas wondering, What hair colour do they put on the driver’s licenses of bald men?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why the hell do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we, as citizens supposed to do, write to them? Why don’t they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail? that'd be farmore practical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one ever says, “It’s only a game” when their team is winning..
