Life is like a Frozen P&J Samwich...

Hi fellow passionate readers,

I was reading an interesting back-issue newsletter from a well known marketing guru. And he was talking about frozen Peanut & Jelly sandwiches made by Smuckers. I don't know if they still make 'em... but still...

You just yank it out of the freezer and stick it in the kid's lunch pail before they head off for school. OK. This product is for very lazy parents. As the marketer concluded... let the kid make his own lunch. It's a useful life skill.

Same thing with relationships. You get what you put in. If you ignore the other person. Treat them with disrespect or plain don't like yourself...

Guess what? You aren't going to be happy. And don't you dare go looking for another relationship because sure as rain... you still are going to be happy.

In short... work on your relationships. It's a life skill.

I'll see you later,

Brad

P.S. BTW, I discovered at one time Smuckers tried to patent the frozen P&J sandwich but the U.S. Appeals court said no!

Wesley Snipes -- Unfortunately, a Tax Cheat

Oh Wesley Snipes!

You can effortlessly slay the vampires but you couldn't pay your taxes?

Dude!

You didn't file for taxes for five years AND for two years you fraudulently got $11 million in refunds?

And during the period in which you didn't pay taxes -- you earned $38 million dollars?

Oh come off it Wesley Snipes! Nobody likes paying income taxes but you need to man up about this.

And it is the little things that we procrastinate and put off... until the piper come along and asked to be paid.

In this case, it was the IRS. And Wesley was sentenced to 3 years of jail.

But for the fans, don't worry too much. He will get the Martha Stewart treatment. And besides, if Wesley is smart enough, he will be planning his comeback...

Just like Martha did.
