Happy Birthday!!! Have a good one, Krista

Let's see, I only have ingredients as I threw this all together. Mom wanted salmon something... so I was actually trying to gross her out on Salmon because I hated fish and didn't feel like making a thousand different things instead of one large meal, BUT.. it actually turned out really good and got me hooked on at least one fish dish... Two pieces of boneless salmon 4 sliced and peeled limes 2 sliced and peeled oranges 2 Tbs of butter (I would normally use veggie oil, but that tends to keep flavors from mixing) Salt (probably half a tsp) Sliced Broccolli Cauliflower Carrots Lettuce Rice Onions Wrapped in foil and grilled. I couldn't tell you the time, but just when the salmon looked cooked and the vegetables were tender. I put all of the sliced oranges in, but I squeezed half the lime over the salmon and veggies then cooked the rest in there. Krista

I confess that I just threw together a bunch of food for dinner yesterday and was lucky when it came out to be the best thing I ever ate... ever. Which it was fish and I refused to eat fish until yesterday when I just had to try it... lol. Grilled Lime Salmon with Rice and Veggies or I should say... yum. Krista

Young people being more intelligent - for the most part could be left to really think about. What makes younger people seem smarter in the first place? Is it because your expectations were set too low and the younger generations have exceeded them? Or is it because they've had better teachers, more resources, and higher levels of education being learned as the world advances? As for a young person's intelligence compared to the older generations - younger people are more stubborn when it comes to what an older generation tells them. I mean, I've always been skeptical of Mom's "hard lessons learned" lectures until one smacks me in the face. Then I hear her voice screaming, "Krista, I told you so." There are two types of intelligence really, "educational" and "common sense" (maturity). Educationally young people are probably exceeding your expectations only because the younger generations are still living in their educational parts of their lives. Where they're still being taught in some school. The common sense is where you're probably being surprised. Maybe GA's younger generations that you've witnessed have had some difficult lessons to learn and some circumstances to adapt to. What you're seeing is the maturity from having to make a difficult decision or accept something larger than what they were at the time. Now, don't think it doesn't happen both ways. When I talk and listen to someone much older than me I can appreciate their intelligence as well. Neither generation is better than the other. So then, 1-10, I would give Knowledge a 7 over past experiences. Only because Knowledge can keep you from learning a hard lesson. So I think it is slightly more important. Krista

Participant. Putting your life on hold for someone else or doing what you want to do. Krista

I'm not gay... The person below me has Animal Planet as their favorite television channel. Krista

Personally, I don't read stories that don't have 10+ pages per chapter. The number of chapters don't bother me, I finished reading a story on nifty that had tons of chapters. The chapters were long, but anyway I don't even give a story that averages less than 10 pages a chapter a chance. To me, longer chapters have more room for detail. Krista

Lol.. I've been known to throw a temper tantrum or two in public that would make me seem rather selfish. Let's just say that I'd enjoy being selfless when no-body cares. Camping - as in.. a tent out in the wilderness.. or.. Camping - as in renting a cabin. (renting a cabin falls under camping for me...I'm not afraid to admit that I'm high-maintenanced) Krista

Hello, From your short description of this story it seems interesting and complex. Probably not something I would pick up at first glance, but would probaby read and enjoy. The Title is also catchy. Anyway, Welcome to GA Lol - since I completely missed the reason for this post (been known to be a ditzy blonde on occassion) let's see what I can come up with now. Personally, people need a purpose in life to feel accomplished and fulfilled in one way or another. Some people look for these large grand schemes and fall short and others don't see how important they really are. Some people could be afraid of their purpose or hate it altogether. I believe a person needs a purpose in life. It was forces people out of bed in the mornings to strive to accomplish it. So they can either move on or be happy - either way fulfilling your purpose is what drives you on. I also don't see a purpose to life being what defines a person. As for myself, right now my purpose is to help out at home so the needs of my little brothers and sisters are met. When I move in with my boyfriend soon my purpose will be to hopefully become the person he's going to want to spend the rest of his life with. It will be the one thing that I will be striving to complete. So my purpose in life will be changing as time passes. Krista

I confess that Adam Levine's (From Maroon 5) odd "bouncy dancing" is actually sexy... Krista

I do like Football. The person below me has an extremely important decision to make soon. Krista

Aww... It's good that they gave them a chance to raise a chick since they worked so diligently to hatch some from their eggs. I've read about some studies in the wild about two unpaired males adopting an abandoned baby, but the "proud papas" version is a lot better. Krista

oOo.. another fan. I confess that I feel bad going out this weekend when Jared had to work. He had an extremely rough weekend and I missed his calls because I was... recovering... Krista

POTC 3. I didn't even know about a Transformers movie until today when it was advertised on MSN. Being settled with no worrying or living care-free with an uncertain future? Krista

Probably... I'll be going to the spa, getting a massage, then I'm going to get my hair done. It's like... my wild weekend recovery. The person below me hopes the week will fly by. Krista

I confess that I've been having second thoughts on being engaged. Of course, there are a lot of people trying to tell me what to do about it. Jared and I both know that there isn't any reason to rush into marriage so we're taking a year of living with one another to find out.. lol. Everything will probably be better after we see one another everyday. I've not seen him personally since Mother's Day. Krista

Hmm, well I did have plans with Jared this weekend, but he was unlucky and got the weekend hell shift. So I've now changed them to going out and hanging with my friends (even the married ones). It will be the second time we can ALL get out together. We're going to see Shrek tomorrow afternoon. Then we're going out and I'm not going into details about that, but If I'm not hung over Sunday morning then I didn't do a good enough job. Krista

Happy Birthday!!! Have a good one, Krista

Lol.. I've taken like three chemistry classes and I hated all three... The person below me is going to go see "Shrek: The Third." (In a few weeks, Spiderman 3, Pirates OTC 3, and Shrek 3 will all be in theatres at the same time) Krista

I confess to owning every season of "The Golden Girls." I love that show... lol. Krista

Lol.... And that is why - no one needs to be in a hurry.

Ok, I'll bite, I have no shame - I confess that one time I went a little wild in a dance club bar and found a phone number placed on the inside of my pants when I stripped to get ready for bed. Krista

Starburst. I refuse to eat fish.... Surprise Parties or A Casual gathering? Krista

No.. the last time I got cussed out was by the mail man when the dogs chased after him again. They're only playing.. bleh.. but a guess mail men are naturally apprehensive? The person below me can't get rid of their headache... Krista

Happy Anniversary!!! Krista
