I have heard of free directory submission. I’m sure plenty of you have. Whether it be for your blogs, businesses, or anything else, chances are you might have even considered submitting yourself to one. Or…even making one yourself. I made a forum directory a long time ago (read: when I was big in the scene). Didn’t go very far, and it ended up being spammy. But I had hopes that it would take off and many people would submit and get exposure to their forums, if nothing more. What, if any, kind of directories have you submitted your site/business/whatever in? Have you tried creating one?

A man was looking into rentals for his vacation. He came across Destin rentals and was intrigued. He put down his payment and was packed to go by the end of the week.

At the airport, he sat next to a woman who seemed nervous about something. Being the guy that he was, the type who may appear nosy, but is truly concerned, he started a conversation with her.

Him: Hi.
Her(nervously): Um…hi.
Him: That is a nice color on you.
Her: Um…thanks.
Him: I’m sorry, I know that you don’t know me, but it looks like something is bothering you.
Her: Well…I’m a little nervous.
Him: Oh, I’m sorry. May I ask why?
Her: Well, I’m supposed to be meeting someone. We’ve been talking for a while, and he seems like a nice guy, but I don’t know…what if he isn’t what he says he is?
Him: Ah. I understand what you mean. I’m supposed to be meeting someone too. I told her that I was going to be on vacation and that she was welcome to come along. I don’t know if she’s gonna be there or if I’m going to be spending my vacation alone.
Her: Hm…he told me the same thing. He was on some vacation and that he wouldn’t mind to see me then. I’m nervous, but I really want to meet him. That’s why I took up on the offer. But like I said, I don’t know if he’ll be that nice person that I’ve been talking to. And what if he doesn’t show up?
Him: Aww, I’m sure he’d show. I dunno about my girl though. I don’t understand what she likes in me anyway.
Her: Well, for one, you are cute.
Him(blushes): Aww, thanks.
Her: And there’s only one other person who I was able to talk to this freely, and I’m supposed to meet him in a few hours.
Him: So I’m easy to talk to?
Her: Very easy to talk to.
Him: Well…thanks for your kind words.
Her: You’re welcome. And thanks for making me feel better…Gage.
Him: How did you know my name?
Her: Going to Florida?
Him: B-b-but…
Her: Thanks for showing up.

Before she went to board the plane, she gave Gage a kiss on the cheek. “I’ll see you off the plane”, she says. He was left with a huge smile on his face, knowing that he won’t be spending his vacation alone.

You know the old thing about the treadmill. It has extra uses. You can walk on it, you can walk on it, you can sit on it, you can hang clothes on it, you can use it for box storage…yep, there are plenty of uses. So other than the old-fashioned way, what else do you use your treadmill for if you have one? If you don’t, then thank your lucky stars you still have enough space for something else.

They’re not lying. Depression is a serious appetite suppressant.

It’s weird. Some days I’m fine, then there are others where I know I’m not okay, but I hide it very well from almost¹ everyone. On those days, people will ask “what’s wrong?” and I’ll say “nothing”. Deep down though, I’d like to just break down.

Then there’s the appetite suppressing I’m talking about. Doesn’t happen often, but sometimes I would have no appetite. Then another time, I have absolutely insatiable hunger, where it’s like no matter how much I eat I am not satisfied. That annoys the hell out of me.

So…I’m okay…not really, but I’ll be all right. I hope you guys are all right too.
