TSE's LOL ~ Yugioh/Lonely Island

Welcome to our 1^st showing of a new replacement~

LOL

For the record, things don’t go the way you planned in life and this is NOW that reflection on our posts hitting snags to a point that we have to beat them with a stick in order for them to work {we’re perfectionists —- enough said}.
Also, we won’t be as ‘chatty’ when we update this replacement; we’re just doing this now to give you the 411.


Here’s today’s selection, coming from Little Kuriboh~

Hope you enjoyed our pick!
Depending on the counter, we MAY make this a permanent segment; you guys got the power to make that happen :D

C-Ya on Saturday!

T*S*E Rant ~ Collage pt. 3

Glad you guys can join us for “Off the ‘Spice’ Rack” :)
I decided to do something I hadn’t done for a while….I have a couple of ‘interesting’ topics that just couldn’t be ignored for long; especially when some of these can hit home for today’s youth.


Let’s get started~
Coffin for sale on Craigslist — with a surprise inside {Article}

First we had that killer preying upon women, now we have the pranksters.
The gist of this subject is that a dude named Dave Burgstrum was trying to off load this thing for the grieving clientele on a budget for $12,000{I know for a FACT that’s cheap since I recently did my Father’s funeral and had to pay for everything from his insurance}.
But what’s a ‘Crackerjack’ without its ‘prize’ —-

This piece has the best ornament to the upcoming Halloween; a skeleton!
You read it right.

Now I’m no expert on the laws in every state but I’m sure that in mine, when one’s selling anything with high value you have to give a detailed description of the item as well as the contents if any are present. Iowa Police didn’t let this slide when Burgstrum failed to mention these bones for auction; for just saying that the coffin is in ‘good condition’….and nothing else!


Next weird-out topic~
Woman Drinks Only Soda for 16 Years, Suffers Heart Problems {Article/Video/Gallery}

In all honesty, I had just now found out about the ‘Soda Ban Appeal’ made due to the growing obesity in all Americans including those in NY and if it were anywhere else on this planet other than CA, FL, LA or NY; I guarantee that NO ONE would find out about this.

And my theory was proven by this newsflash as the “Health Committee” is using this as incentive to get rid of ALL sugar beverages containing more than 16 grams from restaurants, fast food places, movie theaters and other establishments that use them to make a nice profit. The point is that this 31-year-old woman, who drank nothing but soda since age 15 was found in the hospital in Monaco, France —- and wouldn’t have been noticed if not for the big stink about locking up anything that can kill a person by consuming mass quantities of it.

Seriously! This ‘problem’ starts in the household. I myself drink/eat a lot of sugary stuff before I wash it out of my system with water; its common sense if they bother to teach it to their kids!

“Do what I say, not what I do”, my ass….


This one pissed me off~
Teen Accuses rue21 of Weight Discrimination, Sparks Online Backlash {Article/Video}

I already have that Battle of the Bulge that I have to deal with daily; I don’t wanna hear this BS from a person let alone a retail store policy.
And I’m sure most people will agree that this discrimination should not go unchecked.

Now I know I can’t squeeze my big ass into shit from Charlotte Russe, Express, Forever 21 ‘inches’ {my little joke}, TJ Maxx, Marshal’s and the like; but that don’t stop me from going in there! The accessories are calling out my name and I’ll be DAMNED if I’m getting kicked out of ANY store just because I’m not a toothpick that they usually cater to.

And they should be welcoming her and her Mom in the store with a complimentary smoothie and a $50 gift card; the most important thing that Retailers need to remember that the dynamic duo of Mother/Daughter brings in the cash flow!
Also we WOMEN are the ones that fill their checking accounts —- bet if any one of us gets mistreated, that business is getting shut down permanently!


And lastly, I’m gonna put some ‘Zing’ at the end of this one~
Weirdest Things Schools Have Banned

I’m not ticking them all; just the ones that stood out as the most outlandish…

One was about a school somewhere in the UK forbidding the title “Best Friends” —— HUH?
What the hell does that have to do with someone’s education? Causing conflict within a clique to the point that no one studies until they find out who’s the greatest BFF of all time?
Jeez, kids will fight ANYTHING at that age of having a crew.

Another is to prevent the spread of diseases, lip balms were taken. First of all, ‘sharing’ went out the window after Barney the Dinosaur and Teletubbies slowly died out {THANK GOD!!}; not even the guys use each other’s deodorant I’m sure. Nowadays, if one of your girlfriends came to you asking if you can borrow your chapstick and you can CLEARLY see that she has some kind of illness or covering a cold sore on her lip; you’re a dumbass for allowing it!
Don’t have ‘many’ suffer cuz of a few stupid actions of the ‘few’.

And ending this with something you didn’t expect to discover in the Teacher’s lounge: Viagra.
This drug was actually part of their Health Plan in Milwaukee.
Can you believe it, most would worry about having money in the budget for more crayons, erasers and chalk —- not about if one could get their freak on while the kids are at recess.



That does it this week on “Off the ‘Spice’ Rack”.

If you want to read the rest on the banned list, there’s not much left but here’s the link anyway~
 http://memez.com/weirdest-things-schools-have-banned/baby-bumps
It starts at #8 and goes down; Numbers eight and six are repeated so in actuality there’s only seven.
Just FYI.
Being Real: Sex, Lies and Drama is still on Hiatus, however we do have a little somethin’, somethin’ that might brighten the rest of your week

—— you’ll just have to tune in on Thursday to find out ;)

Later Days!

T*S*E Rant ~ Back-to-School

For this week on “Off the ‘Spice’ Rack”, Cheetah’s gonna help out all the students {new and experienced} who have started or will start the school year.

I just thumbed through my pile of old junk and pulled out something we can ALL relate to….one’s bad habits that can’t seem to take a hike! But before you blame it on DNA, teachers out to get you or something else intangible, let me assure you that YOU’RE the one limiting yourself.

You’re probably thinking “what do I know”, right?
I know more than you think.
We all have problems with school one way or another —- most is due to being too ‘social’ —- but the outside life doesn’t have complete control of you. Not showing up for class, not taking notes and waiting to the last minute are the main contributors whether or not one’s ready to admit that or not.

I call these the “Po’s and Pro” of getting through your classes a lot smoother than it would be during the years you were stuck in the proverbial quicksand with no rope to pull you out.

Well, here’s your rope :D

First up~
Poor attendance

Skipping your classes can be a downfall.
I know for a fact that the “Twilight Zone” effect happens when one’s not there!
Like if you’re at home and missed out on a good rumor or a brutal fight that involved the student body of all grades…how would u feel? The same thing goes for your workload.

For example, your teacher maybe a jerk by giving extra assignments along with your homework….or ‘suddenly’ remember that your next test is now 75% of your grade.
Not to mention changing the due date on that said test or a project. You end up stressing yourself out without needing to —— and all cuz you skipped that day. If you don’t feel like going, SHOW UP ANYWAY!! You might be surprised.

Second ~
Poor note-taking

Bottom line, if you can’t take good notes to save your life….STOP WHINNING!! That’s just an excuse! ANYONE can take notes just find the method that’s right for you!
That doesn’t mean that you need to copy every single word that the teacher says either….too many people make that mistake and fail their tests each time.

But don’t despair.
ALL teachers give you keys, just look for the signs.

Here are a few that are easy to spot~

- volume increase
- what words did he/she repeat?
- what’s written on the board
- the long pause after their sentence

Since each teacher is different, I can’t name all the tricks of the trade. You’re on your own for that.

In my experience, about 50 - 60% of a test comes from the class notes, which is why I’m stressing about attendance.
OH, and less I forget —— memorizing the text or borrowing notes from a friend DOES NOT guarantee an A. Make an effort to take the notes yourself, even if you’re the only one who can read them.

Just make sure you CAN!

And Third~
Procrastination

Now THIS is very hard to tackle.
Trust me, I still do it!
I think I have plenty of time for something when it’s right around the corner, even when I’m working on the segments for TSE. But there’s a method to everyone’s madness —— including my own.

I hate asking for help.

I know what you’re thinking; and you can call it an excuse but that’s my reasoning for the way I act when it comes to my studies and —- genuinely —- everything else. Getting help from anybody is not my thing, but that doesn’t mean I’m too stubborn to know what my weak points are and I’m not afraid to admit defeat {don’t have to like it, though}.
My point is there are people there to help you with your test anxiety, note - taking problems…all kinds of mental blocks. If you got a question, spit it out! When they say that “there’s no such thing as a dumb question” —- I’m not gonna lie about that, you DO feel like it’s dumb cuz you don’t know, right?

Well, TRYING to find an answer by yourself will lead you to the wrong one. I rather ask as ‘dumb’ question than feel even more stupid when I have to do something over and over again because of pride. I went through 15 tries with a math problem way back when before asking for help, only to find that the answer wasn’t as complicated as the question (it was a word problem, FYI… I love to read, but damn! So many words can throw off a person)!

So anyway, get help before it’s too late!!!

One last thing before I hop off, this topic isn’t just for the high school and college students, middle school pupils can benefit from this too!

Never too late to start early!
