Who has time for time? No time for this, nothing but time for that. What time is it? May I borrow a moment of your time? Holding out for more time. Sorry I ran out of time. Let's make some time for each other. I ain't got time for this nonsense. You are wasting time. Time to wake up. Tee time, not a time for tea. Prime time. Scheduled time. Summer time, Winter time. What time is your show on? Time to give up. Closing time. This time you've gone too far. Time slipped by me. The end of time. Time went by too fast. Damn, time is dragging. How much more time do you have? Time has expired. Time heals all wounds. Relaxation time. Time off, on time. Too much time. Time for the laundry. TIME OUT! Time is fleeting. Precious time. Time is of the essence. Lost time. Quitting time. Time moves for no one. Long time. This time, next time. Family time. Time stands still. Break time. Time the avenger. Time to go. The gift of time. All things happen in God's time. Time for the meeting to start. Good times, Bad times. Party time. Time to sing-a-long. The best of times and the worst of times. Quiet time. Private time. Just give it time. As time goes by and time flies. Time lines. Time pieces. Who has that kind of time? Time bomb. Free time. Doing time. Time is my enemy. always have time for a friend. Nap time. Lunch time. Fun time. a time to sow and a time to reap. Morning time. Night time. Time for the holidays. Give it time. the right time of the night. Me time. Hey, you got the time?
...And now its time to STOP!
So, do you think that you still don't have time for those who matter the most to you in this lifetime? Or, the time for yourself? I know, I've heard it before, "there is never enough time, never enough for anything." Maybe its time for a change? Check the clock on the wall people! There is still plenty of time left for you. Do something for yourself with your time. Make time for someone special. Take time to breathe and just give it time. Take a little time out of your day and find a reason to smile. Find the time to find the beauty in everything around you. Slow down and take a little time to enjoy life. Also, thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read this...I hope it was worth your time.
It looks like HBK might end up in a rivalry with John Morrison....It would definitely be way cooler than JBL. They're both hilarious so im sure we'll see some funny moments. They're also very talented so we'll also see some pretty good matches between if they become rivals. I hope it happens. Can't wait to find out...
la juventud no es una epoca de la vida, es un estado mental. No consiste en tener labios rojos piernas agiles y mejillas sonrosadas, es cuestion de voluntad e implica una cualidad de la imaginacion. Juventud es una actitud que en ocaciones encontramos mas en una persona de 60 años que en un muchacho de 20. Se es joven lo mismo a los 15 años que a los 90. Los años pueden arrugar la piel pero cuando se renuncia al entusiasmo le salen arugas al alma. En todo corazon humano palpitan el ansia por lo maravilloso como de niño por lo que a de venir al juego inerhente de la vida. Juventud es el dominio temperamental del arrojo sobre la pusilanimidad de los apetitos. en todo corazon humano existe una estacion de radio mientras recibas mensajes de esperanza belleza valor y fuerza tanto de los hombres como del infinito seguiras siendo joven, cuando se abatan tus antenas y los hielos del sinismo y las nieves del pesimismo cubran tu espiritu entonces si habras envejecido aunque solo tengas 15 años pero mientras tus antenas esten en alto dispuestas a captar las ondas del optimismo hay esperanza de que mueras joven aun cuando seas un octagenario... Y recuerda el espiritu puede hacer del infierno un cielo y del cielo un infierno del minuto una eternidad y de la eternidad un minuto... todo depende atraves del cristal conque mires la vida....
I found myself on Saturday having a good swear as I rooted through the mountains of “things that will come in useful one day, honest” in search of a tile cutter. After a about twenty minutes of muttering “it’s a metre long and bright red for Pete’s sake” and other such oaths, I sat down and offered up a short prayer to St Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost things, and picked up an old newspaper while I waited.
I’m not a particularly religious man, but I find these little prayers to St Anthony most helpful. My own thinking is that they act to pacify, allow me to see the wood for the trees and to thereby discover that the thing for which I am searching is right in front of me.
The newspaper I selected was our local free sheet from about 14 months ago, and I flicked through to the property pages to remind myself how much was being asked for the Standard Rural French Wreck (SRFW) in those far-off, untroubled, times.
Although it does not actually have a “Norme Française” quality definition (unlike, for example, bin bags or firewood), the SRFW is recognised by many residents of the French countryside as being the bellwether when it comes to judging the health of the property market vis-à-vis foreign buyers.
A SRFW should have the following features:
• At least three exterior walls, most of which should more-or-less vertical; • An open plan roof; • Hot and cold running damp; • Charm, in some degree.
It is the “charm” that gives the SRFW its premium value above that of a simple building plot. Since these wrecks have been bought for the most part by foreigners in recent years (very few French have the wherewithal or the inclination to take on such money pits themselves, preferring as they do the Squat Lego-style Anonymous Bungalow, or SLAB, instead) the level of this premium is highly indicative of the interest in the French property market from overseas.
And this interest – not entirely surprisingly – has cratered. I managed to find several SRFWs in the old paper that remain on the market today. The most pronounced fall in expectations was from €68,000 to €33,000, which given the size of the plot and taking into account the cost of demolition of the SRFW to make way for a SLAB, is only about €8k over the land value. Not very charming then.
One possible upside to this spectacular fall in values could be an increase in social housing stocks. Communes (villages) in France have the right to buy a property offered for sale provided that they can match the value of any genuine bid on it. The price rises of recent years had more or less priced the local authorities out of the market for village centre land. It looks like that game might be changing.

President-Elect Barack Obama Picks Senator Hillary Clinton As Secretary Of State
Also plans to keep Bush's defense secretary, Robert Gates; names other appointments.
Less than six months after Senator Hillary Clinton asked Americans if they trusted Barack Obama to be their commander in chief when the phone rings at 3 a.m. with an emergency, Obama nominated his former Democratic primary rival to be his secretary of state.
The nomination, which was expected, was officially announced on Monday morning (Devember 1) during a press conference from Chicago. It was the first sign that, as Obama has promised, he is willing to go across the aisle and reach out to those who have opposed him in the past while putting together his cabinet.
"They wouldn't have joined, and I wouldn't have asked, if we couldn't work together," Obama said of the team he unveiled, which also included another expected nomination, that of current Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to remain in that post. The re-up for the non-politically aligned Gates is seen as a reassuring move at a time when the United States is still deeply engaged in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The transformation of Clinton, whom Obama called an "American of tremendous stature who will have my complete confidence," from bitter foe to close adviser is seen as a savvy but potentially thorny one by Obama. While he will be bringing the experienced senator into his fold, he will also have to work closely with his former adversary on important international issues while trying to set aside the slights of the past, and avoid the potential entanglements from former President Bill Clinton's many international business efforts since he left office.
"I have known Hillary Clinton as a friend, a colleague, a source of counsel and a tough campaign opponent," Obama said on Monday. "She's an American of tremendous stature ... who will command respect in every capital and who will clearly have the ability to advance our interests around the world."

General Manager Vickie Guerrero stands in the ring, where she introduces the new Heavyweight champion, a man who's recently overcome some extraordinary obstacles & also just happens to be her husband, Edge, who smarms to the ring & embraces Mamacita Heat, before accepts full credit for helping Guerrero deliver the Triple Threat match that she'd promised, even though he's not 100% & shouldn't've come back he read on http:www.WWE.com what had happened to Jeff Hardy & decided to take actions into his own hands ~ the Rainbow-Haired Charismatic Enigmatic Warrior has a history of letting people down, since he doesn't have the same tenacity that the Rated-R Superstar has; many people assume that the Conniving Canuck's only motivation was the Heavyweight belt, but he really did all of it for his Mamacita Heat; Vickie thanks Edge for being her knight in shining armour & her hero, for saving her from the irresponsibility of Hardy, who they regardless look forward to seeing back in the ring when he's cleared to compete; when the Rainbow-Haired Charismatic Enigmatic Warrior screws up, the Rainbow-Haired Charismatic Enigmatic Warrior screws up big-time; well dem's fightin' words, as Hardy storms the ring, followed closely by former champion HHH, likewise pursued by Vladimir Kozlov, who's still primed to beat the champion; Vickie declares that there will be 3 Beat the Clock matches, pit
