My lemon story.........My carpets are dirty.

your carpets are dirty, so you can freely without any tension let your dog or cat (if you have one) walk on it, or your grandson eat while being near the carpet and you won't think that "oooh, my cleaan carpet! you will make it dirty!" cuz it's already dirty πŸ˜€)

That is a positive. My grandson lives in another state though unfortunately. Once the carpet is dirty it doesn't matter if someone spills something because it has to be cleaned anyway. Good point.

Please list your lemon SG. You can make one up which is what I usually do. Use your imagination. πŸ‘§

Oh my dear SG, we are SO much alike with regard to this problem! I can relate to this!

SG, you start taking B-12 vitamin shots at the doctor, and they work miraculously well so you are filled with an abundance of energy and you jump right up, filled with energy, at "the crack of dawn!" In other words, you are up with the roosters! lol (If you do not like shots, then change that to liquid Vit B-12, okay?) πŸ˜‰

My lemon is that I cannot ever seem to get everything on my list done and complete!

You develop the ability to twitch your nose and all of your chores are done. Now you have more time to chat on CL and play some casino games.

My lemon is being far apart distance wise from my relatives.

That sounds like a dream, LM! πŸ™‚ Thank you (I really wish that were true, lol!).

You will win a big jackpot in the online casino so you will have no worries about being able to move close to your family and SOON!

My lemon is that I wish I didn't need to sleep more than 4 hours a night to feel refreshed so I have more TIME!

haha, thanks, but vitamins make the hunger increase, so I will eat more and gain weight πŸ˜•

MY lemon is that that turning one lemon into a lemonade makes another lemon for me πŸ˜€))

I;ve dreamt of this ability very often, but sometimes I think that sleeping is such a big satisfaction, one of the best in the world. We sacrifice all day awake for it (this was that by some famous person, but I don't remember exactly, lol)

never mind, that pain will definitely be cured before your marriage πŸ˜€ enjoy your photos... say how lovely are they.. and you will automatically forget about the pain...

you can have rest in the evening... stay at home... close your room's door (don't forget to hang Do Not Disturb sign on the door hanger), drop the curtains.. turn on your favorite music.. get a glass of red wine.. some chocolate.. lie in the way which will be best position for your neck.. and think.. or DREAM!

p.s. would be perfect for me too! 😒

I think the job and working hours are our main lemons πŸ˜€))) we should just do something about it:))

for you, I would offer the same lemonade recipe you offered me yesterday. Actually, I wasn't able to reach that perfection last night, but I would try it today πŸ˜‰

yeap I also noticed that! πŸ˜€ would be better that we have 4 working days in a week and 3 days weekend.. but it also has its drawbacks... the more you are tired the more pleasant your holidays get!

Thanks SG, I would recommend that to myself too..

yes, self-recommendations are always the best πŸ˜€))

I think that it would be better to have a more pleasant job with less working hours, at least, not to have to get up so early πŸ˜• that's my greatest problem πŸ˜•

ooh yeah.. that's the huge problem.. hate getting up early.. would be better for me to start working at 12:00pm and finish at 9pm! 😳

to work for your favorite job is also essential.. dreaming of that day when I will be HAPPY going at my working place!

Another lemon for today ==> want to quit smoking (because I realize how harmful it is for my health) but I'm lazy to.. πŸ˜€ that's the hard case for you guys!

Tuntex, I am right there with you! Here is what happens. They make a electronic cigarettes completely SAFE and FREE to everyone who wants to quit smoking. They also make them nicotine free and with something in them where we are no longer hooked on nicotine. Yet, because we are only "vaping," we can smoke away all the day long with NO ill effects (I am a dreamer, aren't I? lol).

My lemon is I will never be able to read all the good books I like before my life is over. My list is too long. So many good books, so little time. 😒

You try the melatonin, and you give it a very good chance to work, and miraculously, this works and your sleep schedule is right on from now on! You are refreshed with only 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night, no matter when you choose to go to sleep. πŸ™‚

My lemon is I want to get my job done faster!

For several hours a day, your energy is super charged and you get twice as much work done in half the time. Now you have leisure time to do whatever you want.

Well, I wish I could create energy by thinking, but I am afraid those days are gone. However, when I do get a little burst, I try to use it to my advantage.

Soon a complete and total solution to air pollution will be discovered, and the air will be complete clean and smell as fresh as it once did. πŸ™‚

My lemon is that I feel "antsy," yet don't know what to do about it.

All of a sudden you feel the urge to meditate for ten minutes, seeing yourself doing your favorite activity or non-activity. You close your eyes and feel your whole body relax. πŸ™‚ You see yourself enjoying winning a favorite casino game, where you win another jackpot.

Close your eyes and imagine all the spring and summer days when you are strong, you are healthy, and you are happy, and all this rest pays off, so you can enjoy the even NICER weather to come! πŸ™‚

Sounds lovely Hope. I will envision my new house (can be old, but new to me) with all of my tulips planted. Spring is just around the corner. It is one of my most favorite seasons.

Scraping by is teaching you to appreciate the little things. When you have money soon, after winning, more jackpots, you will not take anything for granted. πŸ™‚

My lemon is I have no clean sheets. (not a biggee......lol)
