I wish to create some new world rules. I hope you will vote with me on these. I already had written this entry and then it just vanished before I could post it. Someone already does not agree with me!
Rule 1. Houses. You know how you do spring cleaning and everything is perfectly neat, clean and where it belongs? Once you do the cleaning, washing, organizing, and dragging furniture around, it should all stay that way. No new dirt, no messes.
Rule 2. Yards. Once you get out there and rip out those nasty, ugly weeds (including the poison ivy that found me in my yard), trim the bushes and trees, plant the pretty new flowers, spread out the ground cover, it should stay that way. New things are allowed to grow appropriately. Once it is all watered, it should stay fresh. Who wants to keep clearing out the same beds and trimming the same bushes? I am tired of dodging the wasps and bees. I am tired of having to rake and dig.
Rule 3. Hair. Once we decide on a new hairstyle, find a good stylist, and get it done, it should stay that way until we decide on a change. When we do want a change, we should be able to choose longer hair without having to wait for it to grow. No hairs should ever turn gray. My hair grows so fast I have a nice hair cut for about a week, then it has a new style all of its own.
Rule 4. Weight. Who hasn’t worked hard to get their weight back down and their muscles tight, only to have a backslide? No more of that. Get in shape, stay that way! It needs to be a rule, since if we aren’t going to do housework and yard work, well, it could be a problem.
Rule 5. Entries. Never again will I type out a whole entry to my journal and have it vanish into thin air without a wave or kiss goodbye. That is just not right. Getting all this code I have to delete out when I paste from Word is bad enough.

Hi,
Thank you very much for visiting my journal and giving me support. That meant so much to me. Also thank you very mcuh for telling me to delete him from my list. I even didn't realize that. You are very smart. I took care of that thanks to you.
Now, on this entry. I like this set of rules. Keeping the house and yard clean makes things much easier. My hair also changes when it grows out. I have a weight problem and I know I should exercise. I have also had entries vanish after a long typing session. UGH!
I will be back.
Hugs,
Anita
I heartily approve of the rules. Especially #1. I have decided that the natural state of the world is chaos, and THAT is why my apartment refuses to stay clean and orderly.
There should be a special rule for dishes. Dirty dishes NEVER go away! As someone who so rarely cooks, I'd like to know where they came from!
I agree. Also diapers should never get dirty. They should always stay fresh and clean.
Hmm, well I'd be one for five on this list! As per entries, you might try what I do.. type them up as a blank email (with a '?' mark in address box) then delete the email afterward. That way you can do a spell check & change fonts ahead of time, do a COPY & PASTE and you're done! ¤Holly
I don't have many rules, but the one thing that has kept me from back sliding on losing 20 pounds is this: The desire to succeed is greater than the desire to fail. This is the wisdom from the "Flip the Switch guy," whose name I can't remember.
