  • IF I SMELL YOU, I MIGHT SPRAY YOU
     
    I am sorry, but I have to say this. You people with really horrible body odor make me nauseous and give me a terrible headache!! You may be really good people, but your body odor (BO) could probably wake the dead.

    I can no longer have pity for you. I can understand if I was walking around the gym or something and I smelled your BO, but seriously, the mall, the coffee shop, and the subway are all places you should never take your BO to.
     
    *WARNING:* Many times I have been extremely tempted to spray those of you found guilty of this crime. Aaaaaargh! If I could only walk around with a tube connected to a Victoria's Secret Love Spray shoved up my nose, I would. But until then, some of you people really need to wear deodorant.

     PLEASE, do like my mom, sister and I do - go stock up on good smelling stuff! Yes - that is a picture of all the good smelling stuff we have in the house and we are not ashamed of it. It's good to smell great!
     
    *MORE WORDS OF ADVICE:* And my telling you to go stock up on body spray does not mean you wear 50 different smells at one time. Sheeesh!

    DOES ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE GET REALLY DISGUSTED BY BODY ODOR?

  • THE MIDNIGHT PHONE CALL THAT WILL HOPEFULLY CHANGE MY DAD'S LIFE
     
    Last night, a 21-year-old individual died in Long Island and he left a very precious gift for my dad - his kidney. For a long time now, my dad's dream has been to receive a new kidney so that he would no longer have to depend on a dialysis machine to keep him alive. For those of you familiar with the organ donation process, you know how difficult it is to find a match, and families wait for years for one, just as my family has.
     
    Last night, the phone call from the hospital brought my dad closer to his dream of independence. Ever since his kidneys stopped functioning, my dad's body has become an enemy to him, instead of a lifelong friend. This new kidney, if it works, will once again set things right.
     
    As excited as my family is, the news of this new kidney is at the same time bittersweet. Someone had to die in order for my dad to receive this extraordinary gift. And that someone had to have had signed a statement stating that in the event of their death, their functioning organs would be donated to those who are in need of it.
     
    This gift is priceless. My family does not know how to begin to thank the family of the individual who donated this kidney to us. There are no words for such a godly act.
     
    Even as I write this I am choked with emotion. It further convinces me that even in death one can still leave a remarkable and lasting impact on others' lives. It is the force that makes me want to be better than what I am now so that I may further serve my fellow human being in an unselfish way. It is the continual reminder that even the seemingly small actions are the ones that define us as extraordinary human beings.
     
    THANK YOU to the nameless, but revered 21-year-old who is giving my dad a second chance at life.
