3 Best Useful Twitter Tools
Hi all!
These are the 3 best sites for twitter users.
(Btw, Twitter is really a fantastical [like that word?] texting process only globally. It's easy to stay connected, re-connect, and new connect. CNN, NBC, NHL, freaking everyone tweets now, so it's easy to get news tweets, local updates, feedback on last nights hockey game, well, you get the idea. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF IT! ;)
You can even get twittervision to watch tweets world wide. It's a trip.
First off, if you like to tweet at all... you have to have
TweetDeck
Why? It helps you monitor all those people you said you wanted to follow. They are as interesting as you thought, so why not keep up?
If you want more followers, which you can't follow w/out being followed once you reach 2,000 btw, then
TwitterFriendAdder
You can add based on other people's lists, a keyword, topic or site.
This squidoo page by airabongco is extensive and jam packed full of every twitter link there is... trust me, I've checked. I haven't found another site more inclusive.

Secrets to Freedom
"The Secret lies in the present -
if you pay attention to the present,
you will be able to improve it.
And if you improve the present,
whatever happens afterwards will be better too.
Each day brings us Eternity." ~ Paulo Coelho author of THE ALCHEMIST

Priority Check
Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.
This saying is making the rounds. I don't know who said it first.

Carrot, Egg or Coffee Bean?
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up, she was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose..
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.
Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell me what you see.'
'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft.
The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it.. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.
The daughter then asked, 'What does it mean, mother?'
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently.
The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.
The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
'Which are you?' she asked her daughter. 'When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?'
Think of this: Which am I?
*Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
*Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
*Or am I like the coffee bean? T
he bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain.. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.
When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level?
How do you handle adversity?

ALL THINGS TAMi
I will update this... right now I'm working on my new twitter background and some other projects.
Many things could be applied to "life".
****************
BE THE PACK LEADER!
For a well balanced, happy dog--no matter what breed it is, follow these tips:
Leaders go first. Make your dog wait at every door and gate (including the car) until you allow the dog to go through it. Make sure YOU go out the door first. Use the word "wait" and then a release word.
Leaders eat first. You and your family eats first,then you feed the dog.BUT not at the table.
Leaders control food. If the dog gets to eat anytime he likes, he's the leader-he is Tha Alpha. No self feeding.
Leaders get the best spots.Do not let the dog on your funiture.Including your bed. He can come only if you invite him.Once or twice a week is plenty,until he knows his place.
Leader has the highest place to sit or lay down.When you have a problems with your dog do not let him be higher then you are.Do not sit on the floor and your dog is lounging on your sofa.Wrong! Let him be on the floor next to your leg and you sit on the sofa.
Leader can go where ever he wants and the dog must get out of his way.There should not be ANY resistance on his part. He should move away quickly, if not just run right into him.
Leaders get to see tummies and genitals. Submisive gesture for dog is to expose his stomach and genitals to Alpha dog . You can use a tummy rub for that purporse.
Leaders stand tall. When playing make sure you put your hand (paw) or head on your dogs back or put your chin on his head,do not let him do same to you.If your dog is misbehaving ...stand up...... be tall..do not bend over..
Leader can stare.If you look at your dog do not avert your eyes first - wait till he does.Check on this ,you will be amazed how many times you look at your dog and how quickly you avert your eyes not even thinking about it.
Leader can take the toys and keep them.
Leader does not play TUG of Wars.
Leader does not chase members of his pack. Do not chase your dog,rather let him run after you.
Leader is fair and benevolent,not cruel.
Leader = Alpha inspires security,confidence and happiness in souls of his pack members.
