CAN YOU SPELL WIN-WIN?

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Dmoch) — Sun, 16 Aug 2015 01:00:00 +0000

Does this picture remind you of anyone? Perhaps this picture pretty much sums up your last attempt at trying to get a good deal on some item you wanted? Well, haggling doesn't have to be this way. In fact, it can be fun. Really! Haggling is politely arguing which should, more times than not, end up in a win/win situation.

Haggle means to get a price down lower.
To haggle is a form of distributive negotiation.
Haggling means to argue, barter or negotiate about the terms of a business transaction which usually is the purchase price for a selected item.

Here are some more common and not so common terms which relate to haggling. To haggle can also mean: to dicker; higgle; huckster; negotiate; palter; argue; bargain; barter; beat down; cavil; chaffer; deal; dispute; hammer out a deal; horse-trade; make a deal; quibble; squabble; and wrangle. My favorite word out of the list is quibble. I think I just like the sound of the word every time I say it! ;^)

Win/win situation....which I mentioned above is the end result you always want to come out of your haggle endeavors. Remember, the goal is win/win. In any haggle opportunity, if you keep your focus on the goal of win/win, you just might come out ahead. Don't forget that win/win, in my definition, means "equitable pleasing distribution". And by that I mean the value of your win should please you and the value of the your opponent's win should please him/her. The values don't have to be the same; however, the pleasing does.

"To each his/her own". Each of us has a different take on what "pleases" us and what makes it a win/win situation. So, keep your eyes and ears open for your next haggle opportunity and I'll be here to help you through it!

Check back for my next segment of "Haggling ABC's" or send an e-mail to contact@mywherehaus.com with the word "update" in the subject line and I will shoot you a heads-up when the next segment is posted. I will be including random "haggle" stories here too, so if you have any interesting or funny endeavors you want to share - let me know. I'll be sure to post it along with any of your info that you want shared. You can also send along any questions or problems about your "haggles" that you may have and we can explore them together and hone your haggle skills!

WATER, WATER, WATER.........

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Dmoch) — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 20:29:00 +0000

Very interesting and I know I never drink enough water.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS.
Water is Life
Good to know:
How many folks do you know who say they don’t want to drink anything
before going to bed because they’ll have to get up during the night!!
Something else I didn’t know …
Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are
upright (legs swell).
When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with
the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it
is easier.
This then ties in with the last statement!
I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of
your body, but this was news to me.
Correct time to drink water…
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:
2 glasses of water after waking up – helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal – helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath – helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed – avoids stroke or heart attack
I can also add to this… My Physician told me that water at bed time
will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are
seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie
Horse.

DID YOU KNOW?

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Dmoch) — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 00:58:00 +0000

How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during the night. Heart Attack and Water - I never knew all of this! Interesting.......

Something else I didn't know ..... why do people need to urinate so much at night time? Answer from a cardiac Doctor - gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. This then ties in with the last statement!

I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Correct time to drink water...
Very Important. From a cardiac Specialist!

Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:

-2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
-1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
-1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
-1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

Add to this... a physician said that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a charlie horse. Dr. Virend Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.

1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.
The reason: aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the aspirin would be strongest in your system.

2. FYI, aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest, for years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).

Please read on...
Something that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets.

Why keep aspirin by your bedside? It's about Heart Attacks.
There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less frequently.

Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.

The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.
If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.- Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins.
Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ...DO NOT LIE DOWN!

A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved! I have already shared this information. What about you?

Do forward this message. It may save lives!

Tip for Broken Glass

RECIPE FOR FAT BURNER SMOOTHIE

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Dmoch) — Sat, 04 May 2013 21:26:00 +0000

16oz of fat free milk (or water) I use the milk.

1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder (make sure no fat and low, low carbs) Whey protein has 1 carb and 0 fat. Other protein powders are fine as long as no fat and no or low carbs. Different powders may taste different, so try a small packet first to see if you like the flavor before buying the large bag. That’s what I did. The vanilla whey protein I use is by Jay Robb.

8 fresh or frozen strawberries

1 tablespoon raw almond butter
OR
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil (I use regular flaxseed since I couldn’t find the oil) I also use both flaxseed and almond butter in my smoothie. Adding the flaxseed only adds 30 more calories.

6 ice cubes

Mix in blender and enjoy! I blend it really long and it makes a full pitcher. I drink a tall glass and it is very filling and delicious. Then I have almost two full glasses left in the pitcher. I put it in the refrigerator and just zap it on the blender for a few seconds when I want another glass. Hope you like it!

With all the food and pet products now coming from China, it is best to make sure you read labels at the grocery store and especially Walmart when buying food products. They don’t have to pass an inspection for health or contamination. Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is located. It is important to read the bar code to track its origin.
How to read Bar Codes ….. interesting and definitely worthwhile!

This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it’s a concern to you. A great way to “buy USA & Canada ” and not from china! The whole world is concerned about China-made “black hearted goods”.

Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China?

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products “MADE IN CHINA “, so they don’t show from which country it is made.

However, you may now refer to the barcode – remember if the first 3 digits are:

690 - 692 then it is MADE IN CHINA

00 - 09 USA & CANADA

30 - 37 FRANCE
40 - 44 GERMANY
471...... TAIWAN
49........ JAPAN
50........ UK

Buy USA & Canadian made products by watching for “0″ at the beginning of the number. I know I will.

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THIS ABOUT A BANANA

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Dmoch) — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:31:00 +0000

Bananas are good for you! Read why…….

A professor at CCNY, for a physiological psych class told his class about
bananas. He said the expression “going bananas” is from the effects of
bananas on the brain. Read on:

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!

After reading this, you’ll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose
combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and
substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a
strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with
the world’s leading athletes.

But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also
help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions,
making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people
suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana.
This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body
converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and
generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates
blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin
in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium
yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the
US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to
make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood
pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England )
were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast,
break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that
the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore
normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to
laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a
banana milkshake, sweetened with honey.. The banana calms the stomach
and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while
the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you
suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood
sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the
affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it
amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria
found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and
chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese
were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to
avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels
by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders
because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that
can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes
over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a “cooling” fruit
that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant
mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their
baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because
they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking & Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking.
The B6 and B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found
in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium, is a vital mineral which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends
oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance. When we are
stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels.
These can be re-balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine,
eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes
by as much as 40%!

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a
wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side
out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an
apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the
phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and
minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.

So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, “A banana a day keeps the doctor away!”

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!

I will add one thing here: want a quick shine on your shoes?? Take the INSIDE of
the banana skin and rub directly on the shoe…polish with dry cloth.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Dmoch) — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 00:05:00 +0000

Something everyone should know.

Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
Seriously..

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics). She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening

Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.

SOME SERIOUSNESS FOR THE SOUL

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Dmoch) — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 23:55:00 +0000

A TEENAGER'S VIEW OF HEAVEN

17-year-old Brian Moore had only a short time to write something for a class. The subject was what Heaven was like. 'I wowed 'em,' he later told his father, Bruce. 'It's a killer. It's the bomb. It's the best thing I ever wrote..' It also was the last.

Brian Moore died May 27, 1997, the day after Memorial Day. He was driving home from a friend's house when his car went off Bulen-Pierce Road in Pickaway County and struck a utility pole. He emerged from the wreck unharmed but stepped on a downed power line and was electrocuted..

The Moore’s framed a copy of Brian's essay and hung it among the family portraits in the living room. 'I think God used him to make a point. I think we were meant to find it and make something out of it,' Mrs. Moore said of the essay. She and her husband want to share their son's vision of life after death. 'I'm happy for Brian. I know he's in heaven. I know I'll see him.'

Brian's Essay: The Room...

In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features except for the one wall covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly endless in either direction, had very different headings. As I drew near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was o ne that read 'Girls I have liked..' I opened it and began flipping through the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I recognized the names written on each one. And then without being told, I knew exactly where I was.

This lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog system for my life. Here were written the actions of my every moment, big and small, in a detail my memory couldn't match. A sense of wonder and curiosity, coupled with horror, stirred within me as I began randomly opening files and exploring their content. Some brought joy and sweet memories; others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching.

A file named 'Friends' was next to one marked 'Friends I have betrayed.' The titles ranged from the mundane to the outright weird 'Books I Have Read,' 'Lies I Have Told,' 'Comfort I have Given,' 'Jokes I Have Laughed at.' Some were almost hilarious in their exactness: 'Things I've yelled at my brothers.' Others I couldn't laugh at: 'Things I Have Done in My Anger', 'Things I Have Muttered Under My Breath at My Parents.' I never ceased to be surprised by the contents..

Often there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer than I hoped. I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the life I had lived. Could it be possible that I had the time in my years to fill each of these thousands or even millions of cards? But each card confirmed this truth. Each was written in my own handwriting. Each signed with my signature.

When I pulled out the file marked 'TV Shows I have watched', I realized the files grew to contain their contents. The cards were packed tightly and yet after two or three yards, I hadn't found the end of the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much by the quality of shows but more by the vast time I knew that file represented.

When I came to a file marked 'Lustful Thoughts,' I felt a chill run through my body. I pulled the file out only an inch, not willing to test its size and drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed content.

I felt sick to think that such a moment had been recorded. An almost animal rage broke on me. One thought dominated my mind: No one must ever see these cards! No one must ever see this room! I have to destroy them!' In insane frenzy I yanked the file out. Its size didn't matter now. I had to empty it and bur n the cards.. But as I took it at one end and began pounding it on the floor, I could not dislodge a single card.. I became desperate and pulled out a card, only to find it as strong as steel when I tried to tear it.

Defeated and utterly helpless, I returned the file to its slot. Leaning my forehead against the wall, I let out a long, self-pitying sigh.

And then I saw it.. The title bore 'People I Have Shared the Gospel With.' The handle was brighter than those around it, seemed newer, almost unused. I pulled on its handle and a small box not more than three inches long fell into my hands. I could count the cards it contained on one hand.

And then the tears came. I began to weep. Sobs so deep that they hurt. They started in my stomach and shook through me. I fell on my knees and cried. I cried out of shame, from the overwhelming shame of it all. T h e rows of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes. N o one must ever, ever know of this room. I must lock it up and hide the key. But then as I pushed away the tears, I saw Him.

No, please not Him. Not here. Oh, anyone but Jesus. I watched helplessly as He began to open the files and read the cards. I couldn't bear to watch His response. And in the moments I could bring myself to look at His face, I saw a sorrow deeper than my own.

He seemed to intuitively go to the worst boxes. Why did He have to read every one? Finally He turned and looked at me from across the room. He looked at me with pity in His eyes. But this was a pity that didn't anger me. I dropped my head, covered my face with my hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arm around me. He could have said so many things. But He didn't say a word. He just cried with me.

Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files. Starting at one end of the room, He took out a file and, one by one, began to sign His name over mine on each ca r d. 'No!' I shouted rushing to Him. All I could find to say was 'No, no,' as I pulled the card from Him. His name shouldn't be on these cards. But there it was, written in red so rich, so dark, so alive. The name of Jesus covered mine. It was written with His blood. He gently took the card back.. He smiled a sad smile and began to sign the cards. I don't think I'll ever understand how He did it so quickly, but the next instant it seemed I heard Him close the last file and walk back to my side.

He placed His hand on my shoulder and said, 'It is finished.' I stood up, and He led me out of the room. There was no lock on its door. There were still cards to be written.

'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.'-Phil. 4:13 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.' If you feel the same way forward it so the love of Jesus will touch their lives also.. My 'People I shared the gospel with' file just got bigger, how about yours?

IF THERE IS ONE STORY THAT I HAVE READ THAT NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE WORLD, IT IS THIS ONE, FOR THE CHRISTIAN OR NOT! MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

You don't have to share this with anybody, no one will know whether you did or not, but what do you feel in your heart?

*Thanks, Lin, for sharing this. :^)

Recent arrival at mywherehaus:

FOR WOMEN ONLY

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Dmoch) — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 02:15:00 +0000

My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind (and body) for the next few hours: "Maybe should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet."

So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom.
It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off.

No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)

So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck together... Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax," yeah...right!)

I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works!

OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this!

Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.

With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship.

I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet.

Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (it was a long strip)

I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRRRIIIIPPP!!!!

I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!...

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!

Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. CRAP! Another deep breath and RIPP!
Everything is spinning and spotted. I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...must stay conscious. Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe................OK, back to normal.

I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairypelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. (I am thinking "swimsuit here I come!")
I hold up the strip! There's no hair on it.

Where is the hair???

WHERE IS THE WAX???

Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip...it's not! I touch. I am touching wax.
I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG mistake...remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet? I know I need to do something, so I put my foot down.

Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!
I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off!"

What can I do to melt the wax?

Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???

*WRONG!!!!!!!*

I get in the tub - The water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit.
Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub...in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.

So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!! I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter...

"So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!"

There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or the whole hoo-ha?"

She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.
YEAH!!!!! Right!!
I should be the joke of someone else's night... While we go through various solutions... I resort to trying to scrape the wax off with a razor
Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!

By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counselling for this event.

My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax.

What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and HOLY HANNAH!!
The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my friend.
It's sooo painful, but I really don't care.

"IT WORKS!!" I yell.

It works !! I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up. I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair....

THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT!

So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts.

I could have amputated my own leg at this point.

Next week I'm going to try hair colour......

*just to set the record straight......this wasn't me! But God bless the poor woman that shared this. I hope she is hair free by now in all the right places. Women, unite!

**tks Kirsten!

LIKABILITY........DO YOU HAVE IT?

noreply@blogger.com (Lynda Dmoch) — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 23:04:00 +0000

Everyone likes you, right? Why wouldn’t they?

That’s great news.....for your next haggle. You must have likability to have a successful haggle. Who would want to give a deal to someone they don’t like?

It’s important to walk into any store and immediately give off the positive energy of a friendly, warm customer. Try to strike up a friendly tone right from the beginning to establish the haggling as more of a one on one conversation rather than a money transaction. Adding a few compliments about the shop or establishment can also help set the tone. Ask questions about some of the items you find interesting in the store. Let the merchant take the lead and show you around the store. Perhaps he will show you his best sale items which would then give you a good starting point for the bargaining process. Beginning the merchant/customer relationship off this way will allow you to be firm and steady once the haggling negotiations get underway.

Doing this ground work before your haggling starts allows the vendor to warm up to you which is a great advantage! A little bit of confidence and charm can go a long way to win vendors over. Try to “mirror” the merchants body language. This is a neat little tip to give the impression or appearance that you are on the same wavelength. The techniques are relatively easy, just be yourself. After all, you are likable, aren’t you?

Now that you and the vendor have warmed up to each other, another great tactic to use is giving the vendor a reason to want to help you. Liking you, he will be glad to help you in the best way he can. That’s what you want from him. Success will be sure to follow with much less effort if the vendor who sets the prices already likes you!

Remember, though, sometimes even the best haggling tactics will not lead to a successful negotiation. But, don’t despair, be sure to politely thank the vendor anyway for the easy-going and good-natured negotiations. A friendly thank you may just end up being your ticket to a successful haggle! Good luck!

Want to share some of your haggle stories? Have a question about a haggle disaster or an upcoming haggle? I’d love to hear about it! I'll even post your stories or questions on my website, if you like. Together we can hone your skills and come out winning!

Thanks to my friend, Amy, for sharing this – it’s hilarious! Enjoy!

They’re Back! Church Bulletins: Thank God for church ladies with typewriters — misspellings, bad sentence construction or choice of words all make for fun reading. These sentences actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services:

> > The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals.

> > The sermon this morning: ‘Jesus Walks on the Water.’ The sermon tonight: ‘Searching for Jesus.’

> > Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands.
