Because the greatest love of all is happening to me, I found the greatest love of all inside of me

At a conference dinner, the other day, I spotted a matchstick box with a colleague/ friend, R. The matchbox was branded ‘Delhi’ and I thought it was really cool, and felt even cooler about myself for having noticed how cool it was. I asked R to give it to me once it was empty. R immediately removed all the matchsticks put them in the ashtray and gave me the now empty match box. And this made me
feel like blogging.

At the same conference I discovered a branding concept with real relevance to personal life. Did I say I truly enjoy these things! The concept basically details how human behavior can be divided into ‘host like behavior’ and ‘guest like behavior’ and how some people are more prone to be hosts/ guests no matter what the situation. I decided that in life, I want to play host. It makes me feel more secure, in control, comfortable and wanted.

BTW I truly truly enjoy watching Big Boss at all levels. For the sheer pleasure of witnessing the drama brought on by real life. To congratulate myself on being amongst those who can see thru all the instruments employed by Big Boss to ensure that there is enough drama (knowing fully well that everyone can!). And to be able to appreciate the sheer marketing genius. By the way my favorite has already been evicted. When I picked my favorite even I surprised myself. For those of you watching, any guesses?

Let's start in the past and work forward - seems to be fairly logical. Starting just before the Matt Busby era at United my first selection is Jack Rowley. He joined United before Busby came along. Though not the whole story, naturally a striker is measured to some extent by his goal tally. Rowley managed to net 211 times in 424 games for United before leaving the club in 1955. His tally of 211 makes him one of only 3 players to break the 200 mark. manchester united [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]man utd vs[/url] Manchester is a city with a rich history in sports, especially football. The city hosts two major football clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City. The former play at the Old Trafford ground, England’s biggest club football ground, while the latter play at the City of Manchester Stadium. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]ji sung park[/url] Back in the Newton Heath era, the kits were made up of yellow and green stitched sections (1878 - 1892), and looked a bit like a jockey's silks. Some additional colour schemes were also employed such as a red and white shirt (1892-1894) paired with blue shorts. This all changed in 1902 when the club changed its name to Manchester United, the club radically altered the kit colours to red shirts, white shorts and black socks. This colour palette has been the foundation of the home strip ever since. The away strip is white jerseys, black shorts and white socks however different looks to this strip have existed. The most notorious of these was the all-grey strip employed in the 1995-1996 campaign. The club did not win a single game when sporting the grey shirts. The team were vociferous in their claims that the drab colour meant they had difficulty seeing their team-mates, hence passes were being sprayed all over the pitch! Another variation was the all-black kit used in 1994 and 2003. There is also a "Third Strip". This shirt which is not often used, is an homage to the kit worn when the club won the 1968 European Cup. The team has occasionally used the strips employed for training sessions in actual matches although this has been a rare occurence.

Luck plays a major role in your winnings through a game of online bingo. Nevertheless, there are certain winning strategies in play at a game of online bingo. Hence, the result of your game depends on these strategies to quite an extent. Employ such winning strategies to enjoy and win good prize amounts at a game of online bingo. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]online games bingo[/url] If the second called number is say N36, probabilities of the next number not ending in 2 or 6 is more. The first six called numbers could have different digit endings. Thereafter, there could be pairing of one or more of such ending digits. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]play free bingo[/url] With so many different casino and gaming sites on the Internet, it is difficult to know which ones are legitimate and which ones are not. After all, if you want to join the gaming community, you have to decide whether you want to play for money or for fun and prizes. If the former, it is more pertinent to find out what sites are legitimate since you do not want to invest cash into something that is not going to give you a return on your investment.

What you have to do is, coordinate the numbers that are called out by the host with what you have on our sheet, aiming at filling up a pattern reading bingo. The pattern would be announced at the beginning of the game, so you have to be careful to know what pattern you are looking out for. The cards have the b-i-n-g-o letters on rows and numbers running as a column. A host would call out a letter-number combination, which you would have to mark on your sheet. For example if I-34 is called, you will have to look at the I column down to search for number 34. In case you have it, you place a market on it, and so on.

Lighting up for the holidays is supposed to be fun, so don't just get lights that you can turn on; get lights that turn you on. The Decorative LED Lighting can be utilized in house lamps to set a mood, to light up areas that need better lighting, or just to make every day issues easier to see. However, my husband had a little trouble tightening the screw on the solar panel, so it tended to slip to less than an optimal angle.
