I ve always argued that a Christmas tree is supposed to look like a Christmas tree; that is, a tree decorated by all sorts of family members, including little kids who hang ornaments in the strangest places, and kittens who knock stuff off so that you have red balls rolling around in the manger scene. A Christmas tree is supposed to be lopsided because that s how you know it s a real tree. I mean, why would anyone want to buy a tree that looks artificial?
And a Christmas tree is supposed to be covered with a strange assortment of decorations that don t match each other because they ve been given to you by all different people, each ornament with a story and a history to go with it. The best parts of any tree is the homemade stuff: my parents tree still holds tacky deocrations that I made in elementary school as well as ornaments made by their grandchildren. You can tell a lot about a family by looking closely at what hangs on the Christmas tree.
I have never understood friends who want try to coordinate the ornaments of their tree or who want their tree to look good. Oh, I still talk to these friends, and even go to holiday parties at their houses, but I don t understand them. At all.
I mean, if what you want is an aesthetically pleasing tree, if beauty is what you are after, than I recommend that you leave that tree out in the farmer s field where you got it in the first place. No amount of tinsel or artificial lights can possible come close to the way a snow-covered tree looks on a sunny afternoon in December, with ice crystals shining from the green needles, with acres of trees and a whole golden-white pasture stretched out behind it.To me, Christmas trees are like snow forts or sand castles or art projects: the fun part, the worthwhile part, the creative part, is the process of getting the tree and decorating it.
The finished product is not what matters.Some of my most treasured childhood holiday memories are from the exciting day in December when we would finally go get our Christmas tree. We d get dressed in our winter clothes, with boots and hats and mittens, cram in to the station wagon, and drive out to an old farm, where we d spend an hour or so tramping around in the fields, looking for just the right tree.
We d argue about which tree looked the best, and we d knock the snow off the branches to see how thick the branches were, and my father would always stand next to the tree with his arm up, saying, Look, gang, this is where the ceiling is. My father would cut a tree down, and we d have the excitement of carrying the tree, all of us helping, across the snowbanks. We d stand in the barn, drinking hot chocolate and getting warm, before piling into the back of the station wagon, us kids clinging to the tree so that it wouldn t fall out.
Seat belts hadn t been invented yet, and it was an exciting ride home, hanging onto those prickly branches, breathing in that spruce smell, and wondering if we were all going to go flying out the back of the car.We always ended up with a tree way too big - because a tree that looks small out in the field suddenly become much bigger in a living room - and my father would cut off the top to make it fit, and so our trees never had that kind of shape you see in Christmas cards. We often ended up with a tree that would list to one side, as if it had been drinking too much eggnog, but my father would solve the problem by tying wires to the top and attaching them to curtain rods.
Perhaps the best part is how great the whole house always smelled, that pine scent of the woods filling up the rooms. The tree stood in the corner of the living room, and my brother and I would crawl back behind the tree, where the thick green branches made a secret hiding spot.Supper was always homemade chili over rice, and afterwards we would decorate the tree.
My father would put on some Christmas music. My mother would open the big cardboard box of ornaments and pass them to us kids. She would stop and talk about her favorite ornaments sometimes, or tell stories from her own childhood.
We d stand on kitchen chairs to reach the top of the tree, and I always insisted on hanging some ornaments in the back of the tree, even though no one could see them. There was often some kind of big argument about whether or not to put on tinsel, but my mother loved tinsel and her side always won. The room was dimly lit by the glow of the big, colored Christmas tree lights that made the ornaments and tinsel shimmer.
It took all weekend really, getting the tree, decorating it, setting up the village under the tree, putting out the manger scene, and then finally, taking time to admire our work. My father would say, Look at it from this angle! and he d lay down on the floor under the tree.
And we d all lay down, bumping our heads under the tree. That is still one of my favorite ways to look a Christmas tree, staring up at the swaying tinsel as it moves and catches the light.

When you pay too much, you lose a little money, but that s all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business prohibits you from paying a little and receiving a lot - it can t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder it would be as well to add something for the risk you run and if you can do that then you can afford to pay for something better.

Life is too hard not to take a moment and just enjoy it. To best do that laughing at a joke is the best way I know how.

To answer that question, we are going to feature one such member each issue. New Power Members are being named with great regularity and today s featured member is one of the newest, Melissa Fulwider. Melissa has gained quite a following with her AdlandPro Interviews forum in which she interviews one of our own AdlandPro Associates every two weeks as well as for her visits to many forums.
You can visit her AdlandPro profile and invite her to be a friend here: Melissa Fulwider. You might also want to pay a visit to her attractive and very professional website, The Write Times as well to see the variety of writing and copywriting services she offers. , but first, here are some words from Melissa herself.
Q. What first brought you to AdlandPro, Melissa? A.
I first joined AdlandPro a few years ago, but didn t really network. Last year I was getting myself together to start my freelance career so I thought I would hunt around the community again. I have been through the affiliate rounds before, so I just wanted a place to hang out, gather ideas, get to know a bit more about the globe as it were.
There are so many interesting people here and so much to be learned, not only about business, but about cultures and habits. I also like the fact that most people here are professionals. They have a business to run and so do I.
There is a lot of respect here. Q. Can you tell us a little more about yourself?
A. Married with toddlers, man, married with toddlers - that about covers it. I have two articles coming out in September 2006 that I am very excited about.
The first is going to be online at the Mom Writers Literary Magazine and the other is for a brand new magazine called Underwired. I can t wait. Links to both of these publications can be found at ; ;And of course the Interviews are there also Q Could you share some thoughts about AdlandPro and the community we have here?
A. I am here kind of for an alternative reason. I enjoy the interaction and have made some very valuable and dear friends.
I am not selling anything or looking for a downline; although a few more readers on the Interviews would be nice. But the thing that makes this place work is everyone here IS here for a reason. Be it more sales, to help other people, to make money, whatever - you don t come to AdlandPro without a purpose.
And I really like people with purpose Q. What do you feel you add to the community with your presence here? A.
Well, the Interviews, of course are my baby right now. I enjoy the process and I feel like it gives people a moment to explain to the community what their purpose for being at AdlandPro is. I enjoy the neutrality also.
I want people to say what they think and how they feel, and I am not the judge and jury impeding my belief structure over on them (keep it reasonable, future interviewees - you know who you are). I like to go through and find those not-so-known faces and turn the spotlight on them for a moment. I like the fact that I can talk with people all over the planet and find similarities - which are harder to find sometimes than differences.
Q. .Is there anything else you would like to add?
A. Yeah, ya ll have a great AdlandPro Day! If you want to see other Power Members and their most popular forums, click here.
; Written By: Judy Woodson Jokes Making up for lost time An airline pilot was scheduled to take a flight from New York to Los Angeles. The weather was too bad in New York to allow his usual on time departure. The weather in New York finally cleared and the pilot asked for his departure clearance.
He was very dismayed to hear that he had another delay due to the increased traffic now leaving New York. Sometime later he finally received his clearance and decided he would try to make up the time lost by asking for a direct route to Los Angeles. Halfway across the country he was told to turn due South.
Knowing that this turn would now throw him further behind schedule he inquired, quite agitated, to the controller for the reason of the turn off course. The controller replied that the turn was for noise abatement. The pilot was infuriated and said to the controller, Look buddy, I am already way behind schedule with all the delays you guys have given me today.
I really don t see how I could be causing a noise problem for pedestrians when I am over 6 miles above the earth! The controller answered in a calm voice, Apparently, Captain, you have never heard two 747 s collide! *********************** Contributed by: Nan Herring My wife was chatting with her brother, a business executive who had retired last year.
While discussing the joys of his new leisure time, he remarked that he had been compelled to give up skiing, a sport he had enjoyed for many years. Afraid of injuries? my wife asked.
Now I am, her brother responded. Before I could drag a cast into work and still do my job, but now I d be messing up my golf game. Be Inspired (by Venerina Conti) You are special A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.
00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, Who would like this $20 bill? Hands started going up.
He said, I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, Who still wants it?
Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, What if I do this? And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. Now, who still wants it? Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE. You are special - Don t EVER forget it.
sent to me by: Chris Wiseman Thank you Chris, you are special too Community Interest INTRODUCING ONE OF OUR INTERESTING MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY Hello Everyone! This is John Sanchez again bringing you another interview with another interesting member of the community. AdlandPro as you know is an International Community made up of all kinds of people with all kinds of Characteristics.
Today I m bringing you an interview with someone who is very entertaining with his slapstick sense of humor. His name is Michael Caron. Michael with his wisecracking and witticism has more than once made me shake my head.
Let s see if we can figure out what makes Michael so funny and kooky. 1. When did you first join Adlandpro and why?
I joined in June of 2005 because I was looking for some free advertising for my business M S Music Management and when I placed my ad I began to browse to see what else they had to offer for free. I m nosey and cheap. 2.
Michael, you are married to Shirley who is also a popular member in the community. Tell us a little bit of how the two of you met. Shirley and I just celebrated our eleventh Wedding Anniversary on August 19th.
If you throw rice, leave it in the box. We can use it. I met Shirley back in our home town of Taunton, Massachusetts.
I drove cab and one day I was stuck in traffic. This beautiful girl walked by with a glittery blue halter top. I beeped.
She looked, didn t recognize me and kept on walking. Every day after that for about two weeks, I made sure to make some excuse to be at that same spot. Around the third day she gave a timid wave.
By the end of the first week she waved wildly. About two weeks went by and she called for a cab. I had found out before hand that she walked everywhere she went, and never rode cabs.
We got to know each other, she laughed at my jokes, but I also learned that she knew when I was laughing through tears. She stopped me half way through a joke one day and asked when the last time it was when I went to church. That question bothered me and I told her that God didn t care about me.
This was one of the few times that she raised her voice to me saying that he did care and would help if only I would ask. I told her that I did not know how to ask and she said that it was okay because she already had. Keeping this as brief as possible, Shirley was married to a man that beat her at least four times a week, never in the face, to keep her in line.
I was married to a woman that ridiculed me, lied to me, and I later found out never broke off with her old boyfriend even after he got married. For the seventeen years that I was married to my ex-wife I had five nervous break-downs and was hospitalized. Shirley and I met in 1984.
In 1987 I was ready for a massive nervous break-down. I got on a bus and headed for Indianapolis, Indiana. Shirley and I kept in touch, and in the spring of 1988, stopped in Indy on her way to The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
We had a wonderful two days together. When her bus pulled out, I ran out, waved the bus down, ran on the bus, and hugged her as hard as I could. It was than that I realized that she was my whole life.
In September she called and asked if she could move in with me. She was scheduled to arrive on December 22,1988. On December 21,1988 I visited every bar that I frequented, had a couple of beers and said goodbye to my friends because I had decided to stop drinking.
Many of them laughed hysterically because they knew that I could not go three days without a drink. By the time her bus arrived the next morning I had consumed about six cups of coffee. There was a Catholic Church in our neighborhood.
I walked her to the church for Christmas Day. It was icy, and she had a cane. I walked her up the steps because they were icy.
I went in with her so she wouldn t be alone. I stayed. During the collection the priest announced that there was a young mother with them today with her three young sons.
Their Van had broken down and they couldn t get home to Arizona. I put a dollar in the plate. Shirley put a $50.
00 dollar bill in the plate. If I had not been sitting, I would have fainted. After church, the priest came over to us with the woman who was in tears.
He blessed us. I pointed to Shirley and told him that I didn t know what a fifty dollar bill was. Shirley asked the woman if she was going to be able to get her van fixed.
The woman said With an Angel on my side, how can I go wrong? another parishioner that happened to be a mechanic heard her, stepped forward and replied, Make that two Angels. Shirley than asked if her children had gotten any presents from Santa yet, the woman blushed and admitted that she was trying so hard to get home that she didn t think about it.
Shirley put her hand in the woman s hand and said God will Help. When the woman looked down there was another $50.00 bill in her hand.
As this was our first time in this church, the parishioners lingered longer than usual. They began to shake the woman s hand, each with a dollar, five dollars or ten. The priest was beaming with pride.
He asked his regular parishioners why they hadn t been that generous the first time. Shirley shook her head, bowed her head and said, We are all God s children whether we are White, Black, or whatever, and I have a new sister. The black women hugged her, and her three children did also.
She asked Shirley if she could have our address so she could pay back what she owed. Shirley smiled, pointed to the alter and Jesus on the cross and said, Let him guide you wherever you go, keep him in your heart always, and treat everyone you meet with kindness, and I have been paid back. The priest cried, (I did also), and we all went out for Christmas Lunch.
I have not had a drink since December 21,1988, I have not been in a hospital for a nervous breakdown since Shirley came into my life, and I have learned to respect myself. Shirley truly is My Angel on Earth. Aren t you glad I kept that short?
3. Now Michael, tell us why you re so mischievous, you re one of the community s funniest members. Where does that come from?
I don t know, because I had a pretty bad start in life. I remember it clearly. When I was born, the doctor looked at me and slapped my mother.
I tried my best to help her, but I was all tied up at the time. Then I saw those scissors coming. As soon as he cut the cord I yelled, Run, mamma, Run.
You re free now!!!
Well, that s what I tried to yell, but all that would come out was Wahhhh, Wahhhh, Wahhhh!!!
It s difficult without teeth. Your tongue is wobbling all over your mouth trying to find something to latch onto. My earlier years were not that great.
When I was seven and my second set of teeth were all lined up in a row, one of my brothers knocked them out with his four wood. It was an accident. I believe he was headed for my head.
For the longest time after that, whenever I was near a golf course and heard someone yell Fore!! , I would cover my mouth.
Whenever I can, when there is a nice looking girl near by wearing real tight jeans or skirt, I wait until she bends over to pick something up, and I rip a piece of paper. Immediately thereafter I point at her and say WoW!!
! Do you realize how many people actually think they can see a rip in her skirt? Power of suggestion is fantastic!
Why do I make light of things so often? I did go through school being ridiculed for my bad teeth, my teachers always asked me why I couldn t be more like Billy or Carl, or Eddy or Jack. One day I asked the teacher why she couldn t treat me more like Michael James Caron rather than Billy or Carl or Eddy or Jack.
Basically, back in the late forties or early fifties you had to be a carbon copy of everyone else, so, one day in the eighth grade, when the teacher asked me why I couldn t be more like my brothers, I slammed my book down, stood up and said, Because I am an individual, not a family. If you do not like who I am, than fail me, but I refuse to be someone that I m not!!
The following year in the eighth grade .Basically, with all the faults and failures, bad judgments or whatever, I like who I am, because if I can make one person smile for one minute and help him or her forget their troubles, just for a little while, I feel that I have accomplished something. For someone who will remain nameless let me ad And those are the Facts!
!! I don t like ridicule, nor do I like joking about a persons heritage, looks, or beliefs because that falls into a much more sinister category that I don t care to dwell in.
I love everybody, I do, have, and always will reach my arms out to all. I do not hesitate to hug a person because they are Jewish, Black, Oriental, Spanish or any other culture. I do hesitate to kiss that person if he is Male.
Yukky, Pooh!!!
! Laughter is the best music that you will ever hear. 4.
What do you think about AdlandPro and the community that we have here? We ve been doing good for quite awhile. AdlandPro Community has been, is, and always will be the best online community.
HOWEVER, we all have to work at it. If there is a complaint, stop whining, address it and decide how to solve it. I have written two forums in two weeks.
One response to one, and I believe three responses to the other. That s fine. I did the forums because I had something to say.
I don t go into many forums, not because I don t want to, but mainly because Shirley and I share the same computer and that cuts down the amount of time that either of us can be on. However, some of the forums that I have been to lately have had a negative tone to them. If you wonder why our newer members haven t been to many of our forums or haven t posted there own is because the tone in many of the forums have been lashing out at others.
This is like trying to get a Pit Bull to come to you by cracking a whip. A very wonderful member of AdlandPro, Jadranka, has attempted to put out a couple of very informative forums, but, nobody came. Now, most of you know Jadranka.
She is a Sweetheart that has been into a lot of our forums and giving us positive support. What excuse is there for not returning the favor? She has proven herself more than worthy for the support that she has given all of us.
We need to get rid of the negative attitude, support one another more, encourage new posts by new members and when we see one we can at least go in and say Hi. 5. Is there anything else you would like to add Michael?
Remember, John asked. There is only one thing that I would like to add (There would be more, but I ve got to poop!!
) We have a friend in our community that is about to loose her house. I would like to invite everyone to visit my site and read her story on my home page. There is a picture of her and her beautiful family but there is nothing in the background.
That in itself is not disturbing. What is disturbing is that the picture was taken on Christmas Day. I would like to do as much as I can for this wonderful family.
Prayers help, of course, but when you are loosing your house to care full time for a child that you love, this is not justice. God Bless You All!!
