If you don't know what a life sucker is, let me just tell you, you don't want to be one. Life suckers (and I am sure that you all have one or two or more) are the people in your life that want to be your friends but that complain all of the time. They also like to feed off of your positive energy without any desire to be positive themselves. It is so incredibly draining that in most cases, I have to end up 'divorcing' them, as I call it. I am a generally happy person, and I like my life. To these people I say "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade; If you aren't going to make any, please quit drinking mine."
Now, there is a difference between life suckers and friends that come to you for emotional support when they need it. We all have our fair share of bad days and need a shoulder to cry on. I am happy to be that shoulder. The idea is, however, that you eventually overcome the hardship and return to being a normal person in real life once again again. These people, these life suckers, they never return to reality. They are waiting for the mother ship to come for them. Or maybe I am just waiting for the mother ship to come get them. Why would they want to leave when they are drinking large glasses of lemony encouragement for free? Either way, I wish they would all get a one way ticket back to planet crazy.

Bejeweled Blitz - 101
Okay, so I do get a ridiculously high score, however, I do not cheat. I decided to write this so you can know my secrets, and in turn, get a really high score as well. It works out well for both of us because I get some great competition and you get to stop being pissed and nearly deleting me from your friends list just so that I am no longer beating you. Here goes.
1. Make sure you start before he says "go". At the beginning of the game, when it loads, you can actually start before the actual start. This gives you a few extra seconds and since this is a timed game, a few extra seconds means a lot of points. When you make one single move that breaks 12 or more jewels, this is when you get a multiplier. This brings me to my next thing...
2. Play from the bottom. When you play from the bottom, more sequences will fall into place, resulting in more multipliers.
3. Multipliers. The most important part of the game. This is where the points are. Break the multipliers as soon as you can. This is the ticket to a really high score, not to mention, on the new BB, you get coins for each multiplier that you have broken.
4. Speed. You get bonus points for speed. Making special gems is important as well, but I personally feel that speed outranks that. You will start to hear a crackling fire when you are getting a lot of combos in a row. Continue quickly and the board will turn orange. For a limited time, when it is orange, every combo you make will explode like a special gem. This is a great time to make multipliers, so again, make sure to look for combos and the bottom.
5. Hypercubes. try to use them on a color that has a lot of special jewels, or use them on the color of a multiplier if you have one. Again, multipliers are KEY.
6. The new BB has 'boosts' and the ones I use are the three on the right. Scrambler, +5 Seconds, and Free Multiplier. Once you get 16,000 coins, you can use all three. Save up and use them all three at once.
7. The sounds is designed to stress you, so turn down the volume. This may help.
Lucky you, the scores reset today, as it is Tuesday. This means that my 570,000+ will be gone and you will have a chance to rule the leader board. Cheers!

The Trainer
We had a trainer come in and help us learn to train the dog. We liked her very much. She was extremely nice and helpful and knowledgeable. But I shit you not, this is what she told us. I couldn't resist.
Trainer: You know, it's important not to give your dogs people food. They do not need fruits and veggies as some people think.
Us: Okay
Trainer: After all, dogs are carnivals and don't need that stuff like we do.
Nuff said.

Getting a Dog
This one goes out to Jeanne. The begging. The pleading. Here it is.
So, we have recently decided to get a dog. And honestly, if I have to hear one more time, "you don't need a dog," from anyone unsolicited, I may flip my gizzard. Guess what...I am not asking YOU to get a dog. I am not asking you to move in and take CARE of my dog. I am not asking you to walk the dog, or do ANYTHING with the dog. I am not, in fact, even asking you to LIVE here with the dog. Therefore, how about if you don't have anything nice to say, please don't say anything at all.
Now, there are a choice few of you that I have talked with personally, and asked for an opinion. That, to me, is different. If I specifically ask you what you think, then please tell me. Otherwise, please realize that you are not my parent, and that I am grown ass woman who can figure out what is right for her family. I am still constantly treated as though I am a 2 year old asking for a pony, and then getting the response of, "Well, you know that is a lot of responsibility..." Really? I figured I would just throw the dog in a cage for life and slap it around a little if it acts up.
It is actually to the point where I leave myself thinking, "Oh my gosh, am I not competent enough to take care of a dog? Is it too insanely hard that I can't handle it?" Recently I told a good friend that people think I am making a "RASH DECISION!" to which she replied, "What?! A rash decision?! You are just getting a dog! Clearly you are raising two children and you can handle a dog." That is what I thought, but other events are starting to make me believe that others view me as an invalid.
Either way, we are getting a dog. We have a few that we are going to see and see how they act with the kids. And don't worry, I won't be bringing our dog to your house any time soon, so now you can rest easy.
