Why Not Recycle Love?

Why not recycle instead of throwing things away?
What a beautiful sculpture . Old toys , children, as well as grown ups, can still gaze at it and see their little airplanes , favorite cars and toys with lost parts, where they can be still enjoyed and remembered, in what we can only call .........Tech Dog.

I had a very annoying mover who would always be called to move me .
One young employee, would take over the childrens' room with all the toys. I am sure he stole toys because he took great effort to make sure he broke them apart so we could never find all the pieces and forget about the ones that disappeared.lol
You didn't want to make an issue, because if you did and they were charged with theft, they would be put into the slammer and caned. Caning left big scars.
The slammer was also not as cushy as we have here in Canada and they cannot complain as they do here.
So I thought, if they did this sort of thing, it was a question of time before the outcome, which was sure to befall them for this behavior.
I remember having a conversation with them once and they brought up David Copperfield.
They believed he was a devil, as they probably believed all foreigners were.lol
It would take a lot of discussions to get them to see the light. lol
This one young man, would make trips to the kitchen for no reason I am sure, except to dump items through the garbage chute into the basement. I found the garbage chutes very practical except for the fact rats can climb up them and theft of items is easier. lol

Well, with recycling, he would lose if his aim was to annoy people.
This is one fine dog he would not be able to break apart. lol

Today we live in a world of plenty. Lots of kids are enjoying lots of toys.

My Dad had a story about his Gramma.
That pushy little woman, made everything and every one her business.
He loved her so much and when she finally reposed, the family of kids got together to tell stories about her.
My teary eyed Dad said:
I think she loved me the most because she would come to my bed at night, kiss me and then she would give me a candy she saved just for me, cause I was her favorite, and she told me not to tell.

There were a lot of grand children and my Dad said every ones' eyes brows raised because they had the same story to tell about her.
She would go to each and every one of them, kiss them, tell them they were her favorite, and give them a candy with the same instruction about not telling.

They all loved her, because they thought they were her favorite and felt very special.
The reality was, she loved them all.

This story always brings tears to my eyes, even though I never met this woman.
She was very clever and knew how to make the most with least.

In those days, candies did not lie around.
Did she make them? Buy them?
Stores were not exactly around the corner.

Today we give our kids everything and the one thing we don't get for them, we become the bad guys, the awful parents who are supposed to provide because it's our job.

Adults dump on each other but kids also learn to dump, with words and actions they learn at school and people around them.
Kids teach kids how to get around their parents.
Little do they know we've been there and done that. lol

The thing is, what they don't understand, is that we measure, as our parents did, the level of maturity, by the pranks they play.lol

In my Dads' day, kids helped out, for nothing in return.They learned how to work as a team, complimenting each other to make the work go faster.

If they got something, it was special and
appreciated.
A gift from the heart was to be treasured , as the person who gave it, was loved.

We lost something with technology. We lose a lot every day.

Our environment, family, meaning of love, values, work ethics,
God, interdependence, and even our individual selves.

Something to think about this Christmas.

Have a Great Day!

A Molten String of Love and Trust

George Carlin said man has thrown away all sense of sanity. He has not been using his gift of a brain to live and make peace with mankind animals nor the environment.
As a result man struggles to survive every day.
The world lacks in tolerance and forgiveness.
People become cold, calculating and greedy.
As the negative instead of the positive become entrenched into daily life,
people and planet become weaker for how can you win, fighting against yourself?

There is no yin and yang in life.
There is only one, tied together, by positive and negative forces.
These magnetic forces do not separate us but tie us all together.

United we stand - Divided we fall.
So work ....... united.
-------------------------------------

The flickering lights in a deep dark sky
Know when we're apart
For one by one they fall and die
Like cinders in my heart
You leave me always in despair
Each time you go away
You break me up and leave my life
In cruel disarray.

I sit and watch the stars by night
And wonder if they could
Just for an instant make you stop
And take a good long look
Reflect upon what we do have
Each others' strong embrace
Our eyes could see each others' soul
Through crowds and walls and distant space.

There is only you and me
a child and a small dog
A love so pure and molten
No sword or knife could cut.

But then when you're away my dear
The view becomes a haze
Other stars begin to carry
The string of memories we made.
And we're lost between their lights
And search in vain, to find
The string that held us close ,
A flutter and untied

The Universe sits in splendor
It's colored and lit up
A fireworks display of motion
Disappears as fast as it lights up
And every day I sit a thinkin
It can never be untied..........

Melted hot and molten
Our silken string is strong
No sword or knife can cut it
or untie it in wind.

A Lady's Life
------------------------------------

Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.

When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away. 'Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer.' said his mother.

'I don't need to,' the boy replied. 'Of course, you do.' his mother insisted. 'We always say a prayer before eating at our house.' 'That's at our house.' Johnny explained. 'But this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook!'

------------------------------

Pete was in the restaurant yesterday when suddenly realized he desperately
needed to pass gas. The music was really, really loud, so he timed his
gas with the beat of the music.

After a couple of songs, he started to feel better. he finished his coffee,
and noticed that everybody was staring at him....

Then he suddenly remembered that he was listening to his iPod.

--------------------------
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C.
The Russians used a pencil.

Old Never Dies.

This is a shot of my parents old dresser.
My Mom loved this set when it was new.
She treasured everything she owned.
She waxed and polished to no end.
By the end of some 40 odd years, the wood yellowed from
all the polish she put on it and made it look awful

But I remember her with this piece and decided nope.
I will do something to let it live a little longer.
So I sanded it, stuck on a few corner decor pieces and got a can of gold spray.
I sprayed it all and then appliqued some flowers and such.
Then out came my old Varnish spray to seal everything and voila.
I got a refreshed living piece of furniture again.
Its not perfect but it's a good enough effort at recycling.
My parents' picture still stands on their bedroom bureau.
I added a few tidbits for decoration.
Since I like tea sets,a set made by Adeline Fine Porcelain and
crystal candle holders enjoy the fruitful portion of the piece.

Old Never Dies. It just gets better.
Need Proof??? Watch the videos
lol

Have A Good One :)

The Who What Where When Why of It.

alady'slife

Here is another example of people, in a country, who don't know what their country is all about.
and this is not only in the states.

Picasso Itsa Pizza.

www.falboart.com/.../cubestractions5.htm
Thought this was a nice painting

University life is fun .

Not only is March break a riot but during the year there is always something going on to entertain and impress you.

We had a group of friends we studied with . One was a foreigner from the middle east.

I never quite knew from which country exactly but he was a happy go lucky fellow, always smiling and laughing.

He was a nice looking guy with curly black hair and mischievous dark eyes with long eyelashes,

some would call bedroom eyes.

We had this pizza place we went to quite frequently.

One day the waitress came to take our orders and after finishing with us she came to this fellow.

He said, looking at the menu, he wanted an all dressed pizza.

He waited for her to write this down and then he began slowly to undress the pizza.

He said oh…….I don’t want the anchovies. So she scratched it off

And…..oh take off the green peppers. So she scratched it off

Oh and I don’t think I want the pepperoni either. So she scratched it off

The waitress was a very busy girl and taking all this down very professionally and seriously.

After each scratch she kept wanting to leave to put in the order but he kept pulling her back.

He went on to take off the olives and then the sausage and then the cheese and then the pizza sauce.

Once he got to that, everyone was sitting watching her face change and her eyes grow big, as she realized that the pizza was no longer

All dressed but completely naked.

She stopped and looked at him finally with her mouth open and he sat there,

his usual smiling bratty self .

The whole scenario was uncomfortably hilarious.

As we all cracked up she did too and then he said ok .Just give me the all dressed.

By this time her pad was a complete mess and I am sure she had to rewrite the order on a new order sheet.

But now she also loosened up and I guess this little prank brightened up her day as well.

I mean.......

How could any one resist such a handsome guy with those bedroom eyes, slowly undressing a pizza in front of her eyes.lol

The Buffet Prank

We love Asian food.

One of our favorite Is a Japanese all you can eat restaurant we found at the Lansdown Mall in Richmond, BC.

We sit at a table with a menu and we have to tick off the numbers we want on another slip of paper and give them to the waiter who brings the food to you.

After having a wonderful luncheon outing with my sons, we got the tab

And it had every item we ate with the sum $o.oo beside it

So we had a tally looking something like this:

Sushi…………….0.00

Gzoyas…………..0.00

Teryaki chicken....0.00

Miso Soup…...…..0.00

Etc…

____________________

= 29.23

Knowing how serious the Japanese people are, I told my boys we can have some fun here with the cashier.

So my oldest went to pay the bill and we stood and watched as he explained to the Cashier that we do not have to pay because the tally is wrong.

0.0 plus 0.00 plus 0.00 plus plus plus plus plus etc.. all zeros, does not equal 29.23.

The cashier got all excited trying to explain to him NO! NO! NO.!

Half in English and half in Japanese.

As my son continued the charade with this poor cashier, who was getting red in the face, trying to explain the tab, we were giggling on the side.

Then my son laughed and told him ok I know.

It’s a buffet with a set price per person but the cashier could not explain it properly, being Japanese.

When he saw we were pulling his leg he laughed and shook his head.

He must have thought we were crazy white people lol

On our way home we discussed this and agreed that the way the tab was done we could have very well won our case had we pursued it.

What they should have written was 3 buffets = 29.23 or something to this effect.

When you look for opportunities you can still have some innocent fun in life.:)

Spirits Among US

Mama Zens blog spoke of a book Spirited by Rebecca Rosen.
Most people do not believe in spirits and I personally have never met any to talk to although I wish I could like they do in Medium and the Ghost Whisperer.
You get to find out so much from spirits if this could be true.

But living in Singapore, I once heard a funeral over the wall of our estate. When a person died there, the Chinese bring the body home and they make all his special things out of paper that he might need in the next world. So he has a car, his favorite slippers, pipe etc...and money to pay the devil to get out of hell. They also hire criers who cry over the body and people who bang pots and bells to keep evil away. So this was what they were doing when I was sitting in my living room on the floor writing a letter to my Mother explaining what was happening.
I wrote "Mom they are clanging and banging to keep the devil away.... and as I was writing devil,
the lamp in my dining room burst with such ferocity that the glass pieces flew across the room all the way to the glass table, maybe 20 feet, where I was sitting at on the floor. I was dumb founded.
And I felt eerie as if they kept him from crossing the wall and so he was angry at my place and showed me since I brought the topic up. This why they say evil comes when you invite it in and I guess by talking about him I was inviting him in. lol
I told my friends who told me about the spirits that lived in the Raffles hotel.
They had one woman who was always crying in one room and then a few ladies came down for tea once dressed in long gowns and white gloves with umbrellas and they had tea in the outside
garden where tables were set up. Once they left a customer asked the waiter who they were and he asked him who are you talking about. The customer said those two ladies having tea at this table. The waiters eyes grew big and he asked the customer what they looked like so he explained, The waiter left and brought in the manager who told them about the hotel ghosts. These ladies were included
One woman told me about about an old empty cement pool that had people walking inside as if they didn't know it was a pool.
The Chinese believe in ghosts.
My Mom did the ouiji board until it spelled out I am the horned goat meet me at midnight. She dropped everything and never did it again.
One of her friends on new years, sat by a three sided mirror. The thing to do was to place the mirror in front of an open window and then keep looking in it and as soon as you get a glimpse of your future husband you turn the mirror over. Well she wanted a closer look and was beaten up.
There have been cases girls were beaten to death by the spirit which walked through.

Some people have 7th sight and I believe in that.

When my grandfather died, I was sleeping and opened my eyes just to see him looking over me and smiling. I thought Oh grandfather is here and I am safe, I can sleep now. That same night he came to my mother in the kitchen. She turned around from the sink and saw him and he asked her for a cup of coffee. She said sure and turned to make him one then remembered he died. She turned and he was gone. She wasn't sleeping. She was washing dishes. So he came to the both of us the same night to say good bye.

I think all people have 7th sight but our brains are so cluttered, we don't see.
You need to be in a certain frame of mind to be able to do this. In my case I was a child and just about to fall asleep and my Mom probably was also numb from her fatherinlaw, who she had a good relationship with, dying.

There were other things too that happened so when it comes to spirits, I am not so certain I don't believe in them. If they exist, then all the rest must be true too. Shirley McLean tried to experiment with the un explainable and she said she could fly on a string far away from her body.
She could go to different places and see different things. Once I was meditating and I got to a point where I felt something leaving my body and I got scared and woke up. I thought if I let it go, it won't come back but what a journey I would be on. I could fly.
You forget to breath at that moment.
For me this is risk taking I am not prepared for. It could end up in death if you stay away too long and you have no concept of time doing this. Someone has to pull you back.

One needs to understand that we live with limits. Our eyes do not see as well as, say a bee.
Our sense of smell is not as good as a wolves or a sharks.

So we speak in terms of our experiences and paradigms but sometimes things sift through and we are given a taste of the unexplainable.
I can live with that. :)

Spring Sugar.

A.L.L.

The high school coaches in St. Landry Parish Louisiana went to a coaches
retreat. They shared rooms to save money but no one wanted to share
with coach Lemo because of his loud snoring. So they decided to take turns.

Coach Lemieux after the first night, came for breakfast with messy hair
and blood shot eyes. The guys asked, "Man, what happen to you?"

He complained, "That Lemo snores so loud, I couldn't shut my eyes."

The next night it was Coach Beaulieu's turn. He also came downstairs the next day for breakfast with his hair all standing up on end and blood shot eyes. He said "Man, that Lemo shook the roof. I watched him all night."

Third night, Coach Lucerne went to sleep with Coach Lemo.

The next morning he came for breakfast bright
eyed and bushy tailed. "Good morning you all." he said cheerfully.

Every one stopped in disbelief and looked and then asked "Man, what happened? Did you get any sleep?"

Lucerne with a twinkle in his eye said:

"Well, we got ready for bed. I tucked Lemo into bed
and I kissed him good night.

Seems he spent the whole night watching me lol"

The Spring Grin

Three chickens walk into a public library, find the librarian and say, 'Buk Buk BUK.' The librarian decides that the chickens want books, and gives them some and the chickens walk out.

Around midday, the chickens came back looking quite annoyed.
One leans over to the librarian and says,' Buk Buk BuKKOOK!' The librarian thinks the chickens want more books and promptly gives them some more to read.
And Again, the chickens leave.

About an hour later they march back in extremely agitated and nearly shouting, 'Buk Buk Buk Buk Bukkooook!'

The librarian was now starting to get worried about where all her books were going. She decided to give them more books but also followed them to find out what was going on.

She saw them go out of the library, out of town, and into to a park. She hid behind a tree, not wanting to be seen and quietly watched.

She saw the chickens throw the books at a frog in a pond and the frog kept repeating,
"Rrredit Rrredit Rrredit..."


Oh boy! lol
