One N Only Roxane's blog: "Things that make me think"

#1 Throw out nonessential numbers This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them...that's what you pay him/her for. #2 Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches will only pull you down. #3 Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. #4 Enjoy the simple things #5 Laugh often. long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. #6 The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. #7 Surround yourself with what you love, weather it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. #8 Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. #9 Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next country, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is. #10 Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

First things first. I want to thank Dave and Denise for being the bestest Fu buds a girl could ask for. You two have made my Fu experience a good one. There isn't much we don't know about this site...if only we could have figured out Baby J's password (HaHa) PIMP Daddy D...the best of the best as far as I am concerned. Ms. D...ya came along and taught this old hooker some new tricks (that just sounds so wrong) Hell, I'd prolly still be at level 10 if it wasn't for you two :-) I love you guys! Ok on to serious business... I'm going to be taking a break for a while. It isn't anything personal against anyone in particular. I have enjoyed getting to know a lot of really cool Cherry's/Fu's since I've been here. However, lately it has gotten to the point that I am really unhappy with the direction my life is going. I spend way to much time on here. To much time away from my kids. To much time focused on things that aren't real. I always try to be me...keeping it real. I never set out to hurt anyone by pretending to be someone I wasn't. But quite honestly I'm sick and tried of the head games, the liars, the cheaters, the ones that are here just to get their dicks cyber wet, the disrespectfulness...blah blah blah...the list is quite long actually, but I'll spare you the dramatic details. I somehow have become to "involved" with what's going on in Fubarland and not enough time focusing on the important things in life. I'm not going to delete my account, but most everything will be locked up and set to private viewable only by my family members. Nothing against anyone that I didn't choose to keep on that list...but now my family list is people that I know are interested in knowing Roxane...the mother, the friend, the human being behind the key board...ones that take the time to show me they care...ones that actually WANT to talk to me. I will more than likely stop by from time to time to see how ya'll are doing because (I can say this and mean it) I'll miss a few of you. I also have a Myspace account and if anyone is interested in keeping in contact you can find me there... myspace.com/onenonlyroxane I know what some of you are thinking "Why Myspace and not Fubar?" Answer: It's a lot easier to control things on there and it's not quite so busy with all the flashing lights and whatnot. Anywho... I'm sending out hugs and hope ya'll find whatever it is that makes you happy I life. I'm off to find mine! Peace! Note to Fam ~ Please don't feel obligated to keep me on your list because you're on mine. I understand completely if I am removed for whatever reason.

But they really didn't fall into a catagory. “Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for. ~Will Rogers "I can't understand why I flunked American history. When I was a kid there was so little of it." ~George Burns “To the people I forgot, you weren’t on my mind for some reason and you probably don’t deserve any thanks anyway.” ~Eminem “Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.” ~Peter Ustinov “Heroes may not be braver than anyone else. They're just braver five minutes longer.” ~Ronald Reagan “Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do ‘em all together, I guess.” ~Elvis “Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.” ~ Bill Cosby “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former” ~ Albert Einstein

"Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world." ~Lucille Ball "Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity." ~Albert Einstein "All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand." ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox, "Passion makes the world go round. Love just makes it a safer place." ~Ice T "True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked." ~Erich Segal "Love is strong yet delicate. It can be broken. To truly love is to understand this. To be in love is to respect this." ~Stephen Packer "When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out." ~ Elizabeth Bowen "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." ~Bill Wilson "Love isn't blind; it just only sees what matters." ~William Curry

Need I say more??? “I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.” ~Socrates “How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.” ~Oscar Wilde “It's not the men in my life, but the life in my men.” ~Mae West “It is easier to know men in general, than men in particular.” ~Francois de La Rochefoucauld “Compromise: An agreement between two men to do what both agree is wrong.” ~Lord Edward Cecil “Men are what their mothers made them.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson “Women encourage men to be childish, then scold them.” ~Mason Cooley

Some of my favorite quotes on life, success, and money. “The perfect normal person is rare in our civilization.” ~Karen Horney "If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to." ~Dorothy Parker “Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.” ~Mark Twain “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” ~Plato "Make money your god and it will plague you like the devil." ~Henry Fielding “I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” ~E.B. White “All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.” ~Henry Ellis “I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody“. ~Bill Cosby "Do not be fooled into believing that because a man is rich he is necessarily smart. There is ample proof to the contrary." ~Julius Rosenwald “Who are you to judge the way I live? I know I’m not perfect…and I don’t live to be. But before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.” ~Bob Marley “A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men.” ~ Plato
