Quote Pick For The Week ( 82 ) !

In Life

In life there are people that will hurt us and cause us pain,
but we must learn to forgive and forget and not hold grudges  for us to heal and ,leave them behind.

In life there are mistakes we will make,
but we must learn from our wrongs and grow from them.In life there are regrets we will have to live with,
but we must learn to leave the past behind and realize it is something we can’t change.In life there are people we will loose forever and can’t have back,
but we must learn to let go & move on.

In life there are going to be obstacles that will cause interference,
but we must learn to overcome these challenges and grow stronger.

In life there are fears that will hold us back from what we want,
but we must learn to fight them with the courage from within.

God holds our lives in his hands. He holds the key to our future.
Only he knows our fate.

He see’s everything and knows everything.
Everything in life really does happen for a reason: “God’s Reason“.

Good reading book, Still a Thrilling Ride, Nevada Style!

 

Book Description:

 

Reno was truly Hell on Wheels in the 1920’s. The rest of the nation considered the town Sodom and Gomorra, but that’s only half the truth. Reno offered everything in the way of adult entertainment, from speakeasy’s and houses of ill-repute, to open gaming – legal or not. And it took plenty of sins by the founding fathers to make Reno “The biggest little city in the world.” When the gold-veins of Tonopah and Goldfield ran out, the casino owners moved to Reno, where even greater riches awaited. Together, a group of four men (Nick Abelman, Bill Graham, Jim McKay, George Wingfield) took over Reno’s casinos and held sway over the town for the next three decades. Together they administered policy, collected juice, ran politicians, and owned the red-light district and most of the town’s casinos. When that wasn’t enough they took over the banks and laundered money for crooks like “Pretty Boy” Floyd, Alvin Karpis, and Ma Barker’s boys, and offered safety to “Baby Face” Nelson. It was a good gig. The Reno Four dictated policy all over Northern Nevada, taking special care of Reno and Lake Tahoe casinos up until the late 1950’s. Their influence made Reno before Bill Harrah or “Pappy” Smith ever arrived, needing an introduction and permission to build their own casinos, Harold’s Club and Harrah’s.

Practical and useful book in real life situations !

 

 

Book Description :

CAREGIVING:The SECRETS ARE… is for Caregivers (CG) and their Loved Ones (LO). ALL chronic, serious illnesses have many things in common. The STRESSES that occur while they are trying to cope with their fears, frustrations, anger, and confusion are bewildering even terrifying. They are often unprepared to deal with these problems. Despite his experience and training you will read how Dr.Rose made more mistakes than good decisions. From these, as he did as a successful teacher, he found that he had to challenge what was “common knowledge.” He had to find what he could and was willing to change to save his health and sanity. What was necessary to bring Marie back from depression (and side effects from prescribed medications)?There was also the misdiagnosis of Alzheimer’s.He takes you through their struggles as he learns what works and what doesn’t. Each CG must look into her/his mind and heart and find what works best (it changes) based on each’s flexibility, honesty, courage, patience, and the individual responses of the LO as the LO tries to understand and deal with what is happening in her/his mind and body.

The  DIFFERENCE  IN  MEN AND  WOMEN !

Men often give love for sex, women often give  sex  for love. There is NOT  such little difference in men and women, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude, behavior and personal growth but . The biggest difference is whether it is positive or negative !
