pleasure: THE LITTLE THINGS
- 10/29/14 07:11 AM
I went to Traders Jo's and bought some cornbread mix. Its good stuff and very easy to use. You go home, get the one egg, 1/2 cup of oil and cup of milk beat it all up and then put it in a greased pan and 40 minutes later, coming out of your oven is a golden brown, sweet smelling hot delicious corn bread
SO FAR SO GOOD...YUMMY
Let said cornbread cool for about 1/2 hour and then slice it into big portions. Carefully wrap those portions which are still warm in saran wrap and then here is the next best most important step. … (77 comments)

pleasure: FLAME COOKED MEATS CAN KILL YOU?
- 07/22/14 09:50 AM
I got news for everyone who is eating BBQ or anything else for that matter...You are going to die whether you eat this or not. The 104 year old Grandma said it best when asked what she would have done more of...EAT MORE ICE CREAM. Look, I don't take drugs, smoke or drink and that is not my point. My point is that I want to live life and eating what I like is part of that living for me
DOES TOFU CALL YOU?
I don't live to eat, I eat to live but when I do consume, I want it to be something … (7 comments)

pleasure: LIVING WITH NO HOT WATER
- 07/07/14 03:59 AM
Several days before the July 4th weekend to be, my hot water pilot refused to stay lit. That's right. It stopped cooperating with the water heater, turned its back on me and went rogue. It forced me to have to revisit what it was have been like in the early days of the pioneers and settlers who took nothing for granted. They appreciated everything because they had nothing to begin with
I COMMANDED YOU TO PERFORM
You take for granted that when you turn on the hot water spigot, it will obey just like the thousands of times previously. But what if it decided … (0 comments)

pleasure: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KID?
- 05/26/14 07:23 AM
We started out as kids. We liked it and being a kid is something that never goes out of style but in some people it does go missing. WHY? Whatever happened to the fun part of doing whatever it is you are doing and why so serious when getting it done?
LETS BE CHILDISH
Look, I know certain things require an adult and for people to be adult like. I get it. However, how about bringing a balance to the party and letting the inner kid join us? Consider that in every adult, there is a child. Now that child never … (6 comments)

pleasure: YOU CAN COUNT ON ME TOO
- 05/24/14 03:29 AM
You went first. You did your job and then some. I remember you daily when I walk or drive around. I know that all we have and enjoy is because when it came time to make sure it holds when challenged, you stepped up and because of your sacrifice, I am living a decent life
I WILL TOO
Should I have to stand one day for another like you did, I will. Until then, If I see someone who needs a leg-up or a rescue or even a helping hand, I will perform at that time according to my capabilities and circumstances. I want to do my … (7 comments)

pleasure: WHAT IS USER FRIENDLY
- 05/11/14 11:56 PM
It is not taking a person and using them for all its worth...LOL. Ease of use or user friendly is a good subject for anything really. When I engage something, I expect it to be as represented. It should compliment and enhance whatever it is
ITS ABOUT THEM NOT YOU
People who offer professional services are included in this too. If you are offering professional services, everything being offered should be about the consumer and their wants and needs and it should be a pleasure to interact or exchange time or money while receiving your services
THEY ARE THINKING THIS

pleasure: ARE YOU GLAD?
- 04/22/14 07:26 AM
What a strange set of four letters if you just stare at it for a moment. G L A D. Its really what is behind those four letters that deserves the time and attention. Being glad. What is this? If you have found delight in something, well glad is there.
GLAD PLUS
Have you ever been pleased at the way something turned out? Then you were glad. How about if you became happy for yourself or another, glad visited with you both...Good ole gladness. To be overjoyed is to be filled with extra dose of glad
GOT GLAD?
Look what this word brings with it … (7 comments)

pleasure: THIS IS MY BELOVED SON IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED
- 04/19/14 11:21 PM
Who can please God? What can you do or give to the Lord of Hosts who has all things even that which exceeds our own thoughts and understanding? HE uttered it willingly, with compassion and a deep sense of pride announcing to the Universe...This is my beloved son....
I ALWAYS DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER
Those that love God keep his commandments. Jesus is that example loving GOD through obedience. Those INstructions are different for everyone as we are all unique and have different purposes and identities yet all part of a big family joined by one succinct all powerful never ending purpose...

pleasure: GOING ON RECORD HAS ITS RISKS
- 03/14/14 01:23 AM
Everyone has an opinion. Many people even give it freely and it promotes good conversation to whatever the topic is. However, if one is asked to speak publicly or go on record as in being held accountable to what they are saying, the whole thing takes on a different demeanor
THE PROFESSIONAL OPINION
If you are a professional and are licensed, when you are talking to someone in that capacity and relationship, whatever you say can be used to hold you accountable especially if it results in someone doing what you said to do or not do...You are representing your profession. Those words should come out a … (7 comments)

About a year ago, I wrote a post about being able to take your points and spend them in what amounts to ACTIVERAIN-LAND. Here is the post for your reference TRADING YOUR ACTIVERAIN POINTS MAYBE SOMEDAY It has been brought up over the months, referenced in a few places and my friend and yours fellow Rainmaker Lisa Friedman commented on it just recently stating how much fun it was and how she had to revisit it...I agree

pleasure: REMEMBER TO ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT
- 09/16/13 02:15 AM
GENTLY down the stream. Whats everyone in such a rush over? Why are we not enjoying the journey with movement directed toward quality not quantity. Then, the MERRILY MERRILY...which is high spirited fun, gaiety and festivity without regard for the future but respect for the now kicks in...Then, LIFE IS BUT A DREAM....comes true and worth living
ROWING WITHOUT KNOWING
Wild rowing of the boat while having its advantages doesn't deliver the tranquility or satisfaction of the journey. Furthermore, rowing against each other doesn't bring us together either or produce the results we all want. A focused rowing with a purpose … (3 comments)

pleasure: I BREATH RANKING AND SWALLOW GOOGLE JUICE WHO AM I?
- 09/03/13 01:09 AM
An ACTIVERAIN participant. A rain-er or a RAINMAKER calling down the thunder and lightning in the form of being known, generating leads and carrying out my business plan. HOW? Blogging is the new business "legs" along with commenting and posting helping you to travel along. It is the ACTION plan part of the business plan and walking around in CYBERSPACE is not an option in today's business world. IT'S MANDATORY
BUSINESS & PLEASURE?
Not many people or businesses can mix business with pleasure well. In fact, it is a well known caveat not to do so. However, ActiveRain has demonstrated the … (12 comments)

- 04/24/13 02:24 AM
Manners...What a great subject to explore, give as well as receive and want to know more about. Moms think it so important that they make it part of your growing up. The business world respects it, the personal world takes note and manners is even welcomed and known globally and if that isn't enough, they can be practiced in any occasion and under all circumstances too

pleasure: GIVING THE GIFT OF HAWAII
- 03/12/13 11:16 PM
Many years ago...I went to Hawaii for my first time. Just the thought of going to Hawaii is so pleasant in and of itself. There is no negative associated with any of it. It is like a reward for ones self and loved ones. Honeymooners choose this place often too. Since then, I have visited four times. The island remains fascinating
THE FLIGHT IS GOOD
The flight over there is short and productive. The airlines have it down to a pleasurable science. They time everything so well so that when the movie is finished, your there. Seeing it from the plane, … (18 comments)

They seal the business or personal deal with a meal...a SUSHI meal and I whole heartily agree in this strategy. I look forward to this food and like it way before we even get there. Then, while there, I cant wait for it to come to the table. One thing that stands out and I am not alone here is the very first bite bursting into the mouth. It never disappoints...NEVER
OH YEA...THE PICTURES...I FORGOT
Now one of the problems I have when eating anything delicious is slowing down enough to either film it or enjoy it. In the pictures below, … (13 comments)

pleasure: ROAST CHICKEN IS ALWAYS POPULAR
- 01/03/13 07:50 AM
Well it is not so good news for any chickens, but roast chicken lovers are satisfied with this tasty reliable dish which has been around since Adam started eating meats and Eve started doing the desserts (apple pie). It is important to eat a balanced meal when you can. I like a full plate of which I demonstrate very well pictured below...
AHHHH...YES
BELOW: Roasted juicy 1/2 a chicken seasoned, salted and peppered. Those are fresh onion bagels lightly toasted. Brussels sprouts cooked whole with a little crunch to them. The sauce is an exciting little item I found that is quite good. It … (6 comments)

pleasure: GETTING SWEETS FOR A GIFT WHOA
- 12/22/12 11:21 PM
If a child was given a box of candy, well their adventure begins with little or no thought. If an adult is given one, for some it is can be the beginning of a battle of the bulge. If there ever was a love/hate gift, a box of chocolates certainly qualifies. Mind you it is not a staple food and it cannot fill you up, but it has one heck of a PULL or DRAW when presented
THE COCO LEAF...no big deal
Chocolate in and of itself is not sweet. I was shocked when I tasted pure coco one day. They … (11 comments)

pleasure: MARINATING BBQ MEATS LIFE HAS ITS PLEASURES
- 11/29/12 11:17 PM
Marinating anything is going to produce a tender off the bone experience with chewing optional not to mention the flavor of the mixture penetrates all the way to the bone if you do this right. I love to marinate and below I chose 3 racks of ribs and soaked each one in a different mix for two days
FLIP AND FLOP
I flipped the soaking batches every so many hours going back and forth so that all the meats would be juiced entirely. Below the below are the three mixes I chose to sample. I wanted to fist share the RESULTS...the smell coming … (9 comments)

pleasure: BALANCED EATING IS PLEASURABLE AND GOOD FOR YOU
- 11/20/12 08:28 AM
Here's a good meal that is common and easy to prepare and it sticks to your innards meaning it fills you up. As an added bonus, it has all the nutrients, minerals and taste plus it is fun to cook and then eat too. Picture is below along with the explanation. If anybody gets hungry while reading this, that is the idea.
THE MENU
We take center cut pork loin chop without the bone and I like to trim all fat. Whats left is a cutlet of meat which I wet either with olive oil or water and then coat with Italian bread crumbs. … (4 comments)
