</script><h1>Getting Rid Of Stink Bugs In Your House Permanently.</h1>
<p>Are you looking for some method of getting rid of stink bugs in your house permanently and keeping the stink bugs invasion under control? You are reading this because you probably have a stink bug invasion of your home.</p>
<p><a href="http://wilsonchia.com/recommend/getridofstinkbugs.php"><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 8px;" title="Stink Bug" src="http://wilsonchia.com/images/stink-bug2.gif" alt="Stink Bug" width="160" height="169" /></a>When you have stink bugs in your house, you can smell them! They are not call stink bugs for no reason. The smell they emit is their natural way of defense to prevent them from being eaten by their enemies. They can be found hiding in everywhere and if you have tried killing them, you are left frustrated with a nasty odor.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s best to stop the stink bugs infestation of your house before the problem becomes severe. Do you know that they actually attract their species to your house when they release their odor. The smell can linger for months and attract their friends for a longer period of time. So it&#8217;s best that you find methods of getting rid of stink bugs in your house permanently before they make your house their permanent home.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a title="Get Rid Of Stink Bugs In Your House" href="http://wilsonchia.com/recommend/getridofstinkbugs.php">==&gt;Click Here To Get Rid Of Stink Bugs Permanently&lt;==</a></span></strong></span></p>
<p>If you have hired exterminators before or thinking of hiring one in the hope that they are the solution to getting rid of stink bugs in your house permanently, you could have been left disappointed. Although exterminators do the job but they only provide temporary relief from the stink bugs invasion.</p>
<p>Well you are in luck, there is in fact a guide to help you in getting rid of stink bugs in your house permanently. This guide has been put together by a guy who faced this problem previously and even contemplating moving to another state where there are no reported stink bugs infestation.</p>
<p>Through his own experience with tried and tested methods, he has put together a book that teaches you:<br />
1. How to keep the stink bugs under control<br />
2. The root cause of chronic stink bug infestion in your garden and home.<br />
3. Chemical free alternatives to eliminate stink bug infestations.<br />
4. What 3 things you should never do otherwise it will worsen the stink bug infestation of your house.<br />
5. And many many more.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m lucky that I don&#8217;t live in an area where they are stink bugs so I don&#8217;t have to live with this problem. However for those that are facing this crisis, I hope my findings on methods on getting rid of stink bugs in your house permanently goes a long way in helping you.</p>
<p>By the way, did I mention that the author of the book is so confident that his stink bug control secrets will work in helping you in getting rid of stink bugs in your house permanently that his guide come with a money back guarantee. He guarantees that you will see immediate results from day one.</p>
<p>With this kind of money back guarantee (that is of no risk to you) for getting rid of stink bugs in your house permanently, it certainly doesn&#8217;t hurt for you to take a look at the guide and be your own exterminator rather than spending money to engage one. Good Luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://wilsonchia.com/recommend/writingjob.htm"><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="Get Paid Writing Articles" src="http://dpsq2uzakdgqz.cloudfront.net/banners/rwj300x250_ani2.gif" alt="Get Paid Writing Articles" width="216" height="180" /></a>How many out there have started on a task to try and search for ways to make extra income online to supplement your current income? Do you know that you can <em>get paid writing articles</em>? If you don&#8217;t, read on.</p>
<p>I came across such kind of jobs because I&#8217;m also looking for ways to make extra income online. I have spend some time building some websites and monetizing them and find it time consuming to do everything on my own and have outsource some of the work. Article writing is one of tasks that I outsourced and pay others to do it so I know such jobs exist!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a title="Get Paid Writing Articles" href="http://wilsonchia.com/recommend/writingjob.htm"><strong>===&gt;Get Paid Writing Articles Today&lt;===</strong></a></h1>
<p>I have come across people now and again looking for ways to make extra income to supplement what they have from their regular job so that they can have that &#8220;extra&#8221; to buy or spend it in whatever way they wish. However, it&#8217;s all wishful thinking. Why do I say so? Most of them want to do it, and talk about it but never got around to doing it!</p>
<p>I have suggested to some that they can try out legitimate part time and get paid writing articles rather than spend time chatting, social networking sites and some of the answers I get are:<br />
1. I don&#8217;t have time for that. But they have time to update their social networking account like facebook, tagged, friendster, chatting etc just to name a few activities.</p>
<p>2. I prefer to look for other kind of job. But not able to give a definite answer on what kind of job they want.</p>
<p>3. I don&#8217;t know how and where to begin. Listen, there will be topics and instructions on what others want and what/how they want written. You can check these sites and take a look.</p>
<p>4. They either don&#8217;t bother to check or don&#8217;t look hard when they are at that those sites.</p>
<p>5. How about writing articles for me for a start? I will pay you for your work and give you instructions on how I want my articles written. You can use writing experience and start writing for others too and get paid writing articles as a part time job and possibly a full time job in the future if it pays you well enough.</p>
<p>Sometime I get a reply, Great! When can I start? I told them I will send them the topics and titles of the articles that I want and how I would like them written together with sample article. And guess what, after I sent the emails and stuff, I never got a reply. When I check back with them some time later, status quo. No extra income and still looking for ways to achieve that and still spending lots of time on social networking, chatting etc.</p>
<p>I guess writing may not be their cup of tea or maybe they have not reach a stage where they need the extra income bad enough. Anyway, get paid writing articles is a legal legitimate job. For those interested to make money writing articles, here&#8217;s the link on how to <em><a title="Make Money Writing Articles" href="http://wilsonchia.com/recommend/writingjob.htm" target="_self"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Get Paid Writing Articles</strong></span></a></em>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another year has come and gone and it&#8217;s a new start for 2011 now. Time to look back and reflect on what you have accomplished or not accomplished and move forward. This is the time of the year for new resolutions. Some of you or perhaps most of you have made resolutions, so it&#8217;s time to start acting on it.</p>
<p>For those who made resolutions in the part but have never gone around to taking action, have you made any resolutions for the new year? But then again, have you ever made any and never get anything done? If that&#8217;s the case, why should you bother making resolutions once again since you are going to break them. But then again, if you havent decide to do something, then it wil never get done and do you know that the most difficult thing to do is getting started</p>
<p>Some suggestions on how to keep your resolutions for this year.<br />
1. Stop talking too much about your resolutions and work on your resolutions instead. Talking too much will likely reduce your chance of success because by talking about it to many and often may give you a false sense of achievement. This may result in you doing being less determined to taking action.</p>
<p>2. Set modest goals instead of big ones. It&#8217;s good to dream big but may be counter productive against you. Achieveing short term goals will give you the motivation to push you towards your ultimate goal.</p>
<p>3. Be prepared, write down your plans, stay focused and get support.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all I have for now. But before I leave, I will post this question about how many of you have thought about trying to earning extra income to supplement what you have now perhaps by starting your own part time business, maybe you have thought of setting up a website to sell stuff, or other ways to generate passive income. I know this is one of the hot topcis that usually come up in conversations from time to time after all what we have is usually never enough and there aren&#8217;t any person that I know so far that complain of having too much money!</p>
<p>If you have thought about it, how long have you been at it and how many have actually taken action to do something about it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those who have yet to do their christmas shopping, here are some last minute christmas gift idea minus the crowds, the weather and whatever that turns up. Of course you may miss the holiday shopping jostling around with the other last minute shoppers&#8230;</p>
<p>Have you ever thought about buying a digital book, an ebook as it is known for others? These type of gifts will be delivered to you to your computer or should I say, you can download it to your computer anytime (provided you have an internet connection), 24/7, 365 days a year.<br />
Download and email it and it&#8217;s done! May be a little impersonal but hey, nowadays, things kinda work this way doesn&#8217;t it. I am sure you have read about how some break of their relationship with just a text message sent via their mobile phone.</p>
<p>Anyway, think about it, you can help make the world greener with this type of last minute christmas gifts because you don&#8217;t physically buy a book thus using lesser paper and helping to save more trees.<br />
Surprise your friend or loved ones by turning up at a christmas party empty handed. I&#8217;m sure more than one person will be surprised. I will leave it to you on how you want to break the news about your gift is to be delivered.</p>
<p>Despite its easiness, you have have to give it some thought because you need to know what kind of ebook you want to buy as a gift. There are plenty out there depending on the other party&#8217;s interest.My hobby is fishing so books related to that topic will definitely be good.</p>
<p>By the way, I have to admit I got this last minute christmas gift idea from one that I received in my email today. A fishing buddy of mine bought me this make your own fishing lures book as a gift and send it to me today and he thought I would love it. I certainly do!</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 153px"><a href="http://howtocatchlotsoffish.com/makewoodlures.htm"><img class="   " style="margin: 5px;" title="Make your own Wooden Fishing Lures" src="http://howtocatchlotsoffish.com/images/woodenlures.jpg" alt="Make your own Wooden Fishing Lures" width="143" height="214" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Make your own Wooden Fishing Lures</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s a book on <a title="Make Your Own Fishing Lures" href="http://howtocatchlotsoffish.com/makewoodlures.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Making your own Fishing Lures</strong></span></a>, wooden lures to be exact together with lure making template and other ebooks on lure colour selection and tips for fishing with lures.<br />
I have just started reading it up and going to try my hands on making some of those techniques taught in the book soon. Here&#8217;s the link for those interested in <a title="Make your own wooden fishing lures" href="http://howtocatchlotsoffish.com/makewoodlures.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>making your own wooden fishing Lures</strong></span></a></p>
<p>Make I have to admit that although I love fishing but I&#8217;m not too much of a lure fisherman however I have tried my hands at making poppers many years ago and used them at Maldives with success.</p>
<p>Another thing to note about this type last minute christmas gift idea, they are priced reasonably and if you happen to share the same interest, you get a copy of the ebook too. 2 for the price of one! Good deal indeed!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">Once again the year is drawing to a close and for many, it&#8217;s time to sit back and look back at the year and also look forward at the same time. So with the new year round the corner, have you made any resolutions for 2011 yet or made a to do list?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Some of the top resolutions that I can think of are, lose weight, quit smoking, spend less and save more money, spend more time with your family, get married, make babies, personal development, save for retirement, live life to the fullest. I do not personally make resolutions but these are just some of the thoughts at the back of my mind and not necessary in the order mentioned above. Some of them are resolutions that I come across are some that I see, regularly year after year where that don&#8217;t seem to change much. Anyway, we only have so much time on our hand. We can manage time but cannot make more time.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Lose weight.</strong><br />
This is on most people&#8217;s resolution list. In my opinion, Weight is just a number and round is a shape. Life is short and my take on this topic, we don&#8217;t know how long we are going to live and even though we try to live a healthy life and prolong it as long a we can, there are certain factors that is really beyond our control. The point is, move on with life and not worry too much.<br />
It&#8217;s ironic that the beginning of life is also the beginning of death. Some who have heard my remarks say I&#8217;m pessimistic but it&#8217;s a fact and I&#8217;m being realistic. Anyway, back to the topic of losing weight. For those that are keen on losing weight, there are some diet programs on the internet that have been popular and successful as proclaimed by many who have followed them. Some of them are pretty interesting.<br />
Check out this site if you do think of losing some weight called <a title="The Diet Solutions Program" href="http://tummyfatnomore.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>The Diet Solution Program</strong></span></a>. It sounds kind of interesting and I am contemplating buying this program and following it. For those who have tried it, please let me know if it works for you. I have seen some programs but there are not quite geared for the Asian diet, some of the food listed are difficult to find because it&#8217;s not something that we eat regularly</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Quit smoking.<br />
</strong>This has always been a challenge for many. Despite all the warnings about danger associated with smoking, many find quitting difficult. For some, why quit? I m going to die anyway regardless whether I smoke or don&#8217;t smoke. I have to admit that I have the same attitude and I agree with this point to a certain extend. Why? Because it&#8217;s ok if you die peacefully and quickly because of your smoking and not some prolong illness like lung or throat cancer. That could result in very high medical expenses to help you cure your illness.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It can be done although the road may be long and tough and may take several attempts before you finally succeed.<br />
I have a site just on quit smoking. For your info, I was once a smoker and I managed to quit and have not touch a cigarette for almost 14 years now. If you are interested, you can find out more at <a title="My Quit Smoking Secret" href="http://myquitsmokingsecrets.com" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://myquitsmokingsecrets.com</span></strong></a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Make Babies<br />
</strong>Seriously how many out there would like to have the ability to choose the gender of your child before he or she is conceived? Play god! What is going to happen if more opt for one gender over the other? We are going to have a global in-balance of the sexes over time and they may not be the best. But then again, with the rising cost of living and people with their own idea of what an ideal family should be and planning to start one, the ability to choose the gender of their baby is definitely a good one. There are for and against on this topic and I came across a site recently with a Singaporean couple (I&#8217;m one too) providing a testimonial on the page about how successful they were selecting the gender of their babies by following the program. You can check it out at <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a title="Choose Your Baby's Sex" href="http://chooseyourbabysex.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>http://chooseyourbabysex.com</strong></span></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Get married</strong><br />
With the subject of making babies, getting married usually comes before that. Although I must say that may not be the norm in some countries but that&#8217;s what practised here in Singapore.<br />
I wonder if it&#8217;s common to give a speech during your wedding but where I am at, it&#8217;s not that common and most are not prepared for it when called upon to give one. I did a search recently and was surprised that with what&#8217;s available at this site, <a title="Good Wedding Speeches" href="http://goodweddingspeeches.com" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">goodweddingspeeches.com</span> </strong></a>promoting speeches for the groom, bride, bestman, maid of honor, father of the bride, mother of the bride. Does everyone practically have to give a speech of some sort? Well, I guess you have to be if that&#8217;s the norm.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">That&#8217;s all I have about things to do and resolutions for 2011. Good luck to all in your endeavour. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a healthy and safe 2011.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Does money grow on trees? That was the question that was posted to me by my son when we were having a family conversation about “money doesn’t grow on trees”. He challenged me by saying that I was wrong and because paper money notes are made of paper, trees will have to be cut down in order to produce paper and then into money thus the answer to “does money grow on trees” should be yes!</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Anyway, I need further check and found that the US dollar is actually made of 75% cotton and 25% linen rather than paper and you can catch a short video here on how money is made at <strong><a href="http://videos.howstuffworks.com/howstuffworks/54-how-money-is-made-video.htm" target="_blank">how stuff works</a></strong>. I have not done other checks on other countries currency and how they are made but back to the question on “does money grow on trees”.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">After I revealed the information to my family, again I was told that money does grow on tree! Cotton comes from a cotton tree right? Well, I guess there are different type of cotton plants and trees and since I am not sure where the cotton comes from in that goes into making the money, can I conclude that we do actually grow money in some ways but not on trees?</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">One of the Chinese New Year traditions in Singapore is to bring along mandarin oranges when you are visiting family members and friends during the Chinese New year visiting.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. Called the Lunar New Year by some, the festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Mandarin oranges are a must have during this period. They have an auspicious name and a must have when visiting family or friends during the 15 days of Chinese New Year celebration. By handing over two mandarin oranges to the Chinese host of the house that you visit, you are presenting the host with a pair of “gold” offering. The host will return a pair of “gold” offering in return.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="alignnone" title="Mandarin oranges on hand" src="http://wilsonchia.com/images/P1010237.JPG" alt="" width="430" height="341" /> <img class="alignnone" title="Oranges on plate" src="http://wilsonchia.com/images/P1010239.JPG" alt="" width="436" height="341" /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">Mandarin oranges can also be found displayed in abundance in houses of Chinese during this period</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;">How about a slight change to the Chinese New Year tradition by handing over mandarin oranges with a difference this year? These oranges are made of bead and will definitely last longer than normal mandarin oranges.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">It has been out in the news and on radio recently about dog obedience training in Singapore. The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) of Singapore is proposing to make obedience training for Rottweilers compulsory however some professionals and enthusiasts are suggesting that it be make compulsory for all breeds. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">From reports over the past years, the number of small dog bites incidents is on the rise.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">THEY may look cute but smaller dogs such as Jack Russell terriers, maltese, shih tzu and others are included in this list. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Small-dog bites accounted for 28 per cent of the bite incidents in 2005, 32 per cent in 2006, 45 per cent last year and 42per cent so far this year, according to statistics from the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) of Singapore. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">So will dog obedience training for your dog make it any less aggressive or likely to bite someone? The answer is no, but does that make dog obedience training unnecessary? Again the answer is no. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Dogs are just like you and me and have their own mind, thinking and characteristics so there is no way you can have total control but obedience training can help you control your dog better.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">There are some owners who baulk at the price they have to pay for their dog obedience training in Singapore and the time they have to spend to bring their dog for the training, etc. But hey, as the owner, it’s your responsibility.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Anyway, if you think the price that you have to pay is beyond your reach or think it’s too much to pay for you dog’s training, here’s something else that you can consider.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">If you rather train your dog on your own than spend time bringing your dog to an obedience school, you can do your<strong><em> <span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://wilsonchia.com/sitstayfetch.htm" target="_self">own dog obedience training with Sit Stay Fetch &#8211; Dog Training To Stop Your Dog’s Behavior Problems</a></span></em></strong>.

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Anyway, we chance upon this funny video of garbage men and a woman during our search.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Perhaps having a job as a collecting garbage isn’t as dull as you thought. Day in, day out, same routine.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I was having this conversation with my son, 9 years of age last night and it prompt me to post it here.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">He asked me what do I think of people holding a job as a janitor or cleaner? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Is their job important?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">How much money do I think they make a month?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Is it enough?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">He answered his own question by telling me that he thinks that it’s important even though their work may be dirty and unappreciated, the positions usually occupied by those that are lowly or lesser educated. Not the best paying job (but can be as good as other jobs in some countries as I was told) or appreciated by others.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Why is it important? Well, he told me that even though their jobs is not exactly “clean” and actually dirty, they are doing the cleaning, cleaning up after everyone, maintaining a clean and hygiene environment which is important to everyone’s well being. Same goes for garbage collectors. Someone has to do the job!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">His answers bring back memories of remarks that we may have made or heard others telling their children; “you better study hard and get better grades if you don’t want to end up like one of them!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Are you guilty of that?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Well, life’s like that, it’s unfair and life goes on.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I have had many interesting conversation with my son in the past but it only strike me to write them down last night.</span></p>
