hip hop magic

Oh give me a doze of that hip hop magic
Magician hats and wands
A flare of ruffles and lace delightful
Seen as a gift in your loves' song

Your smile befriends both friend and foe
You know you're doing right
and you've got the bug of the hip hop magic
with each uplifting thought

Folks watch you dance on bird like wings
Feathery fluttering when the storm is passed
Magically soaring over every pain
Letting heaven in to repair domains

I need a doze of your hip hop magic
So my world may sing
Give me a doze of this trust and friendship
To relate to both my friend and foe.

I wish to soar over death and sadness
Resolve the madness of the world.
Please give me a doze of your hip hop magic
So heaven is something we all know.
A Lady's Life.

A Friend shared this article with me and I want to share it with you.

Why do I have a variety of friends who are all different in character?

Some of them can be considered marginal even?

How do I get on with them all?

I think that each one helps to bring out a "different" part of me...

With one of them I am a polite, good girl.

I joke with another friend.

I sit down and talk about serious matters with one of them.

With another I giggle at every silly thing.

I have my wine with one

And dance with another.

I listen to one friend's problems and give them advice

Then I listen to another advising me.

They are all like pieces of a jigsaw,

When completed they form a treasure box.

A treasure of friends!

They are my friends, who understand me better than myself,

who support me through good days and bad days.

They are like colourful anti-depressants that I take on different days.

Real Age doctors tell us that friends are good for our health.

Dr. Oz calls them Vitamins F (from Friends) and counts the benefits of friends to our well being.

Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression

and terminal strokes. If you take Vitamin F constantly you can be up to 30 years younger

than your real age. The warmth of friendship stops stress and even in your tense moments

it decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke by 50 %.

I am so happy that I have a stock of Vitamins F!

In summary we should value our friends and keep in touch with them.

We should try to see the funny side of things and laugh together, not forgetting

to open our mouths big to swallow the floating vitamins F !!!!

Thank you for being one of my vitamins!

Life’s greatest joy is giving kindness to others.

‘Be who you are and say what you feel,

because those who mind don’t matter

and those who matter don’t mind.

Saving Paradise

yikes hurricane Irene sure made headlines these last days.
First time I hear the news saying if you decide to stay in the hurricane area, put your particulars in your shoe so we know where to locate your kin.
Ouch!
Again floods took over many areas and you have to think that yes, God is punishing the world.

It is said that maybe all this is happening because the plates are changing again and the future holds a planet with no Atlantic or Meditteranean and a huge pacific.Australia is to join Asia.

Everyone waking up from the grave will find a new world.

In BC we finally have some hot weather.In the morning its cool and the afternoons get hot.
my arm is lowly healing although I want and need to work with it.
Then with ouches I remember. lol
No can do.
Oh well
Guess its up to my guys then.
My so decided to invite me to go on a car ride yesterday.
So we ventured to Burnaby to our biggest mall called
Metrotown

Usually we get good summer sales but this time round the stores keep their prices stable.
Students and seniors get discounts.

I think BC voted against the HST tax so now
I think its being replaced with another tax and more money lost to change things around
I guess As long as BC does things without asking the people we will continue to have problems but they don't care
They will leave with huge pensions and find cheaper places to live.

Hope you all are safe and happy.

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST

She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.


WOMEN'S REVENGE
"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. "So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked. "No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."


UNDERSTANDING WOMEN (A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.


MARRIAGE SEMINAR
While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor, "It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes." He addressed the man, "Can you name your wife's favorite flower?" Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?
(That one's just sorta sad...)


CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?

He answers, "You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own ... so does she. (I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!)
(Serves him right for smoking, frankly. Thank you, P, for quitting!)



WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...

The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"



WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee. The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee." Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.......... "HEBREWS"
(Now where does it say that the man actually cleans the coffee machine every day?)

doctor doctor 2

Yesterday, in a long time, I decided to accept my sons kind invitation to take me out for a car ride.
Usually at his age he has too much to do to involve me. lol
It was a gorgeous day.We visited a few stores and I treated him to a meal at the Mall.
When I got home I missed a call from Dr Browns' office
so I called back to tell them I was returning the call a few minutes later but as usual you could only leave a message.lol
My husband also called them to leave a message.

Today at 9 am the secretary called and told us she called three times and left messages,
We don't have a message service so I don't know how she did this.
Anyway she was angry and said we had an appointment with a Dr Perry at 8 am at the royal columbian hospital.
Well my husband told her we got no message and I was there for one of her phone calls which I missed because she did not ring long enough for me to answer.

Personally I think something is wrong at Dr Browns' office. lol

Well she said she will see if we can still go there after 9 am
She calls back and says ok go now.
So we got ready and went to the cast clinic there. People were waiting a long time to be seen so it really did not matter that we were late.

Dr Perry asked what my story was and I explained everything from the beginning.
His assistant asked me to move my fingers in a certain way and thumb
They move fine except today they are swollen from the new cast.

Dr Perry said my hand was collapsed but not that bad.
He said usually what they do is they have to rebreak the bones and put in a metal plate.

I asked him what would happen if I left it the way it was.
He said that's another option.
The wrist is healing and there is no reason why it can't be functional as is. He said to keep the cast on for another three weeks and to make an appointment to see him then.
Right now we tried to make an appointment and there is no one at the office lol.

He said if I am unhappy in the future, I can always fix it at a later date cause nothing would change. He was positive and I felt better.My wrist doesn't look crooked just a bit swollen.
I am now at home again to nurse my poor self. lol

Now I can feel sorry for myself and kick myself in the ass for not being more careful. lol

The hospital is full of sick people. While we were there, so many little kids came in with broken arms and wrists. My son is a soccer player and I was always obsessed warning him and his team to watch their legs cause they only have two.

Some listen some don't but there are more head concussion issues than anything else.
We saw one game when an 18 year old goalie got a full kick in the head with the bottom of a soccer shoe and it broke his cheek bone and the bone over his eye. That was gorry.
It was one of our players that did this.

What I was happy to see at the hospital, is that they have new kind of casts which you can swim with.
I am impressed . :)

doctor doctor

The wrist story doesn't seem to be a good one.
It seems to have collapsed they said and now I have to go see another specialist who may or may not be able to put it together they said through surgery.

My fingers move fine as does my thumb and the wrist goes up and down,

but the doctor said i was supposed to come see him on the 2nd of aug and we called before coming to find out where we had to go and the answering machine answered to tell us the office is closed
till the 15th
when we finally got to see the doctor he was giving me hell and shoving a piece of paper under my nose, that we never showed.
He said the cast had to be taken off cause it was a temporary cast.
No one told us any of this at the hospital and I was sitting tortured by the jagged edges inside cutting into my wrist.

The doctor seemed to be too much on the defensive to my liking.

He could have been waiting for me on the moon but if I don't know to find him there, he could wait forever.
His office was closed to the 15th and his secretary never told us where to go.
We were not happy either and thought this is all crazy.

This is the kind of bureaucracy you end up having with medicare.
Over worked staff, confused patients. tons of paperwork. the pass the buck attitude
On top of that they charged me for a different cast made up of material which they took two seconds to wrap and two minutes to harden.
Its purple.The doctor told me to complain to our premier for this .
I told him I would.
they do not seem to understand to put more padding inside so as to make it more comfortable for the patient. I told him he was cutting circulation and he said he wasn't.

Now again when it gets hot and the wrist inside swells, the cast digs into the broken wrist.
I could just scream.

I can't help but being very angry at the arrogance of these doctors . What did the think people do waiting to see them.Its so hard to get an appointment that when you do get one you don't miss it.
but I am glad I held my tongue .It must be frustrating for them as well.

I know it is best not to have to deal with them at all.

What a mess.
They change the medicare card ever 4 years I think and we didn't get ours so after bothering them for so long they kept telling us its in the mail but we never got it.

So I was still not registered in the system at the hospital and we had to call again for our number
for this second doctor. Of course they reassure you not to worry. Ya right.Talk to deaf ears and then get thousands of dollars worth of payments to make they will (never) reimburse you.

To have a system like this is not good if it is not controlled.
They are doing a bad job and it is costing people plenty.
My husband came home from emergency with a virus and was in bed three weeks because of it.Many old people do as well because they can't seem to get the virus out of the hospitals once its in. They are very frail with many problems so to add broken bones to the pot is not easy on their care givers

We tell people our story and hear nightmare stories in return, of surgeries ending in infections and used Depends lying on window panes where it is supposed to be a germ free environment.

I knew this was bad news to fall and now I am not looking forward to what is to come.
Now my sister in law also fell on the sidewalk but luckily didn't break anything She said she was thinking of me while falling lol
Boy that must have been scary for her lol

Doctor, Doctor

Every bone in my body aches!

Just be glad you aren't a herring!

Doctor, Doctor

Can I have second opinion?

Of course, come back tomorrow!

Doctor, Doctor

I think I've broken my neck?

Don't worry - keep your chin up!

Doctor Doctor

My daughter has just swallowed my pen - what shall I do?

Use a pencil!

Doctor Doctor

What can I do? Everyone thinks I'm a liar?

I find that very hard to believe!

Doctor, Doctor

I feel like a pack of cards?

I'll deal with you later!

Doctor, Doctor

You've got to help me - I just can't stop my hands shaking!

Do you drink a lot?

Not really - I spill most of it!

Saving Grace

Diefenbaker - a definition of an honorable man

"We shall never build the nation which our potential resources make possible by dividing ourselves into Anglophones, Francophones, multiculturalphones, or whatever kind of phoneys you choose. I say: Canadians, first, last, and always!"
June 4, 1973, House of Commons.

Diefenbaker understood united we stand, divided we fall and he worked towards national unity .

Unfortunately the country didn't understand what he stood for.

Later with Levesque pushing for Quebec separation,Trudeau asked Quebecers, what would change with such a drastic move?

Diefenbaker Quotes

======================================

Saving Grace

Eleven people were hanging on a rope
Under a helicopter..
10 men and 1 woman.
The rope was not strong enough to carry them all
So they decided that one had to leave,
Because otherwise they were all going to fall.
They weren't able to choose that person,
Until a woman,named Grace, gave a very touching speech.
She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope,
Because, as a woman,
She was used to giving up everything
For her husband and kids or for men in general,
And was used to always making sacrifices
With little in return.


As soon as she finished her speech,
All the men started clapping . . . . ..

Men are gentlemen aren't they?

Harry Truman

Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
Harry S. Truman

Harry & Bess
(This seems unreal.)

Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.

The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri . His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there.

When he retired from office in 1952 his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.

After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves. There was no Secret Service following them.

When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale."

Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."

As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food.

Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale (cf. Illinois ).

Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!

Dig him up and clone him?

I don't know.

Different times different perspectives

jack layton

Today along with the rain we are at half mast in our nations capital.
NDP ,Jack Layton, leader of the opposition, passed away from a long fight with cancer.

He is well known for his fighting spirit, standing against smoking, fighting to end aids,
fighting to help seniors, fighting for good healthcare and for justice.
He still had much he wanted to do. He was known as the but man.
People would say.....we want this and that etc...... but.....Jack said no. lol

He was always smiling ,spent lots of time with people he cared for and was known to come out with a tune or two.

He was a respected Canadian politician by all his colleagues, even if they did not agree on all the issues he stood for.

His presence will be sadly missed in parliament as he was deeply dug in.

We thank him for all his efforts and commitment to our country and send deep condolences to his family from

A Lady's Life

May God greet him and keep him and love him
He was a friend to all who met him.

Rest in Peace Jack

Being Served

Last week, we took some friends to a new Indian restaurant, 'Muthu's Place,' and noticed that the Indian waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket.

It seemed a little strange.. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I observed that he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the Indian staff had spoons in their pockets.

When the waiter came back to serve our soup I inquired, 'Why the spoon?'

'Well, 'he explained, 'the restaurant's owner hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all of our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil.

It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift.'

As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he replaced it with his spare. 'I'll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now..'

I was impressed.

I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the Indian waiter's fly.

Looking around, I saw that all of the Indian waiters had the same string hanging from their flies. So, before he walked off, I asked the waiter, 'Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?'

'Oh, certainly!' Then the Indian waiter lowered his voice. 'Not everyone is so observant.

That consulting firm I mentioned also learned that we can save time in the restroom. By tying this string to the tip of our you-know-what, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76.39%.'

I asked quietly, 'After you get it out, how do you put it back?'

'Well,' he whispered, 'I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon.'
======================================

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

=========================================

Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbour and his wife were told there would be a 45-minute wait for a table. 'Young man, we're both 90 years old, ' the husband said ..'We may not have 45 minutes.' They were seated immediately.

All societies have come to understand the meaning of these words without religion or politics.
Maybe this is also why we can understand why God did as well when he gave us a most perfect world he created. Man was given the breath and a gift of life and a world to live in.

Man accepted the gifts and began to make live sacrifices in gratitude for the kindness shown for breaking rules of Eden and maybe this is how religion began.

What was to have been a generous loving gift was distorted and turned into more demands, cries for help
and fists being shown the creator who is blamed for all the woes.
Woes, which man is responsible for creating resulting from free will, individualism and knowledge.

People forget the above words.
God gave but nothing lasts for ever.
In the end all goes back to the creator.
If we believe in Jesus, as the son of God, then we know he was sent to show man the way, to educate him in the light, just in case the 10 commandments were not enough.
God did not require live sacrifices. His gift was life, to live, not to die.

He takes it back all in its' own time and man along with it but now hopefully a more experienced spirit, who might understand better, the laws of heaven.

To survive, man had to learn to sacrifice for others. Families work for each other to help bear the load. Friends help when in dire straights and then societies and nations, all work for the better good.
This was how it was intended.
Man had to learn, that he cannot live by bread alone and if he wanted knowledge and individualism, then woe goes along with it.
Everything depends on everything else.
Destroy the balance...........and everything destroys along with it.

Truth is cold and harsh.
It hits us like a flash of lightning or a falling icicle smashing its' tip into our head from above .
It's a very uncomfortable profound feeling .
We look to lay blame for our pain, on someone else. lol
even if the pain was meant for us for spiritual growth and understanding in the meaning of true love .
Without feelings, man becomes a zombie , a machine.

In todays world, man accumulates. He takes from other people not because he has a right but because he can. He does not wait for it to be offered but walks in and arrogantly takes.....
money, homes, families and lives. He creates unjust systems to use to legally help himself with a pen what was not worked for physically.

So many homes stand empty while man suffers living in the streets.
So much food thrown into the ocean, while hungry hands reach out into emptyness.
So much suffering result, as good intentions are stolen, not to reach the hungry, to be sold by the more powerful, the pretenders, for money, so they may live and then pray to the Father, to thank him for his blessing.

Then man wonders........how is it right for someone more powerful , to come and take from him?
He riots, he fights and steals, sells drugs and becomes the bad guy.

He looks for someone to blame and wars begin. Evil takes over to try to establish what in their minds is good because they survive.
One fella installed a sun room for me and charged me 17 k for the job which he said would take two weeks not 180 days as he wrote in teeeeeeeny pale blue at the bottom of the contract, and a promised me wood looking aluminum finish they put along the sides of the inside walls.
Instead, they put in wooden shakes which had water climb them first rainfall and made it lool awful.I took him to court and he lied to the judge and won the case.
Later I told him he lied to the judge and he said so what, my family had food on the table.
He didn't care that my family was robbed and would not have food on the table. The judge didn't care even when he saw that this contract wth teeny pale blue lettering no one could read, is made up to do nothing but cheat a customer. The salesman disappeared. Terasen does this too.
Have a complaint? ????? lol no one there wants to know. Just pay them.

None of this is good because it is all about taking. This mans' family and the Terasen CEO's probably go to church and thank God for the blessing. lol

As long as there are wars, it means man is not learning.
Its not about an eye for an eye.
It's not about arrogance and a fist.
If it was, then God would have smitten all of mankind for the act of killing his son.
Of course he resurrected him to show man proof of life after death.
He will open heavens doors to the suffering and those in power, will be sent back to relearn they cannot makes decisions for God.
He is the one Father and it is all in his hands and will.
For man
it's about living in the light, educating yourself and accepting what it entails to actually live.
It's about loving your fellow man by giving and sharing and letting live.

We blame others for famine while 60% of north American children live on less than food stamps
while millions are spent on worthless placards to win elections which are then thrown away.
Millions are spent on guns to kill and take rather than give.

Man is growing but he is not learning.
If culling of people is the plan then expect to be culled because the yin an yang affects everyone.

Might be God might close heavens doors and send those who do not learn, back to relive his gift of life and sorrow till learning does take place.
If the scriptures are correct, then he will give man three life times to learn. lol
and if time is nonexistent, this can become an eternity of either suffering
or living in heaven by the laws of true life, Adam and Eve were given.

Adam and Eve had only one rule in heaven.

So simple it was.
lol

Have a great day.


While driving in Pennsylvania , a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust."
========================
Did you hear about the two blondes who froze to death in a drive-in movie? They had gone to see 'Closed for the Winter.'

Stress

You pick up a hitch hiker, a beautiful young girl
Suddenly she faints inside your car
you take her to the hospital

now that's stressful.

At the hospital you are congratulated as the Father as this girl is pregnant
You say you are not the Father but she says you are

This is very stressfull

So you demand a DNA test as proof
After all the tests they tell you you are infertile and probably have been since birth

You are extremely stressed but relieved.

On your way home you think about your three kids.......

NOW THAT'S STRESS

relieve stress through laughing meditation



Sheesh! I haven't shaved in years.

Scary . lol

Perfect Imperfection.

We cannot change society.
The world moves forward and like it or not we will be taught to move along with it.

These things can happen.
First we will refute God as nonsense.
Gay people will marry and change what a family is if not destroy the institution of both family and marriage as we see today, with people forced out of homes into the work force and people killing their children. Eventually the social system will change because its unaffordable.
Then marriages will disappear, cause with free sex , no one will want to have the burden of children and spouses.

Then test tube babies will be born, government raised and science will get rid of gender since no one will have use for it anymore .

This will eradicate all men /women issues like romance love and commitment and breast and penis discussions . Lady Chelsea Lately will be out of a job lol
Hormones will be genetically controlled.

Purpose of man?
Well, depends.

Maybe we will genetically design people into a caste system, to do certain work so no one complains or organizes unions.

Society will be kept separate and only a few elite will have access to everything. Or maybe machines will do most of the work. So by controlling population growth, the planet might survive.

Democracy and voting will be diminished to a very few since there will be more machines than people.
Laws will be strict. Life expectancy controlled. Poverty and hunger eradicated.
Result?

People may as well be dead because they will have missed out on the best things in life, shared between people in freedom.

This revolution will destroy history and books and learning except for the few. or maybe not because the dull will not be interested in books as much at hootn and hollerin laughin at jokes watchin tv sports and drinkin beer. lol They will watch their Seinfeld show and Friends over and over again as dull brains tend to do.

Those, once normal God fearing people, who escape global control, will be hunted and destroyed
as a virus generally is. Norms will not be as easy to change through political or peer pressure.

All of this can come to pass very quickly and this is why the Bible says to love your fellow man instead of things.
and
To follow God's laws freely, which understand the essence of man, his programing and his true nature, needs and desires.

The true need is to love and to admire beauty in life and living as well as to be imperfect so the mind is challenged to grow and change and upgrade and perfect.

We look at God's creation and see he left it all uncontrolled to evolve in freedom.

Man on the other hand is never happy with either freedom or laws and his laws will go full circle to become null and void. You cannot both love and hate at the same time.

Either something is correct or it isn't in a broad understanding. Either it is right to kill or not.
So far we have not come to agree on anything as true or false in any religion or political arena and so laws, being Gods' or mans' , are rejected by some or by others.
Right now, we are free to do so and live in a gray area.

In as much as man wants change, change will come to pass, to result in no change at all because perfection has already been created and rejected as imperfection. lol
and then rediscovered again.

It's like that classy black dress that never goes out of style.
We keep looking for new things to change the old but then when push comes to shove, the good old things, get pulled out to wear.
The little black dress is therefore a symbol of the truth, the right,and the good, we say does not exist. The little black dress refutes all our efforts to create fads just to prove it to be wrong, bad and untruthful.

So ........the long and short of it, we cannot change society lol
The world keeps moving forward and like it or not, we will move along with it.

We will never be in control, never understand what we seek and never understand perfection if it hit us smack in the face.
It is mans' nature, to be the perfect imperfection.

lol

Accept it, embrace it and move on

Have a great day!

bert and ernie

Excuse me if I am wrong, but are the puppets Bert and Ernie,not supposed to be children?

I mean , which grown up plays with rubber duckies? lol

Which grown up makes a mess when eating?
Which grown makes a nuisance of himself?
They never change clothes.

Now the gay population want them to marry?????

How dare they even suggest it?

Are they telling children now to marry young and be gay????

This is all getting out of hand.

These people are running wild and think they are above and beyond every one elses'

rights.

The two faced notion that you have to like them while they can hate you, is ridiculous.

Their gay parades border on public porn and you have to like it.

Watching Anderson Cooper today on CNN seems like he is on a holy mission to attack anyone differing their opinion from his, regardless.
Every day is about being gay,
instead of the news and the economic problems which hurt everyone, including them.

Get over it. You're gay....move on.

Their best question is : What if it was your child?

My answer would be that my child would have the same problems everyone else has in life.

Suicides, bashing and bullying occurs every where for one reason or another.

If you are a part of society, you are therefore not exempt just because the law says so.

So many people get bashed.

Seniors, fat people, disfunctional people, smart people dumb people , pretty and ugly people, ethnic people, cocky people,children etc....
Heck, they bashed our Prime Minister for combing his hair.lol

People kill or commit suicide because of greedy banks, taxes, overzealous corrupt business

fraud and corruption,cheating spouses, drugs, hormone imbalances.....the list is long.I watched the atrocities in Sudan and Ethiopia.People, children, heads bashed for absolutely nothing except for being poor.
Poverty....mob riots.
This can all happen here overnight.

Why should gay people be exempt from all this fun? lol

They want to be a part of the party? Part of the game?

Then they have to be a part of the bashing as well.

I don't care one way or another what people do in private but when they cross the line of children, this becomes big with me.

Children deserve their time for innocence.

They need their time to play with rubber duckies, fairy god mothers, the easter bunny

and tall tales of heroes and villains.
They do not need to be smothered by gay issues or marriage.
I never remember asking my parents about marriage at that age.
My world was small and I was happy in it knowing nothing.

Born to confusion, how will kids be prepared to receive the next part of their education?

I am so glad my kids are grown now and I don't have to deal with this problem anymore but young parents need to pay attention.

The very nature of having to explain the difference between gay and straight people to kids gave me a nightmare. Like we don't have enough to worry about raising kids, we need this as well.

Crossing the line with Bert and Ernie is offensive.
Bert and Ernie are supposed to be young kids going through and doing what young children do and children do not marry at 2-3-4 and 5 years of age.

The saying goes :
Education is the light.
To live without it ,is to sit in the dark.
The scriptures warn however to make sure:
The light within you,
is not the dark

Had my say.

Hope every one has a great day.:)

Two blondes were flying to Miami from Cleveland. Fifteen minutes into the flight, the captain announced "One of the engines has failed and the flight will be an hour longer. But don't worry we have three engines left".

Thirty minutes later, the captain announced "One more engine has failed and the flight will be two hours longer. But don't worry we have two engines left".

An hour later the capain announced "One more engine has failed and the flight will be three hours longer. But don't worry we have one engine left".

One blonde looked at the other the other blonde and said "If we lose one more engine, we'll be up here all day"

A Lady Forever

Here's to all the ladies who live and listen to the blarney of men.

These are the comedians who make us laugh and cry
who we treasure and always keep dear in our hearts regardless.
Men have many faults due to the simpleness of their nature
and yet they are as perfect as the unblemished rose they choose
to brighten your soul with.

To our men, who become our knights in shining armor, we will always be special ladies.
We choose each other to walk through heaven and hell with and what a better way to express yourself, than though acts of love kindness and forgiveness.
Life throws many curves at you and both need to find strength in each other
to prevail.

We will always be ladies to the men who love us.

And if they don't love us as they should, well..... their loss,
we can still laugh at their comical, simple minded ways of perceiving life
in hopes that one day they grow up and see, there is no where to run.

Nothing is more important than stability and keeping the promises in the commitments we make.
The grass might look greener on the other side of the fence but then so can yours be
if it is fertilized and cared for, in the same way.

Nothing says that crossing fences to the other side will brighten ones' future.
It just leaves ones' turf open to be cared for by another and built up to mean something better.
Something that was yours and thrown away.

A Lady for Ever

THE SILENT TREATMENT
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM."

He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Game of Cards

The song was originally done by Tex Ritter in 1948. The most popular version was recorded by Wink Martindale.




Story
"The Cards" is set during World War II, where a group of Army soldiers, on a long hike during a campaign in southern Italy, had arrived and camped near a town named Cassino. While Scripture is being read, one boy who has only a deck of playing cards, pulls them out and spreads them in front of him. He is immediately spotted by a sergeant, who orders the soldier to put them away (thinking he's playing cards in church). The soldier is then arrested and taken before the Provost Marshal to be punished.

The Provost Marshal demands an explanation, to which the soldier explains the significance of each card

Six: God creates the Earth in six days.
Seven: God rests on the seventh day, now known as the Sabbath.
Eight: The eight righteous people whom God saved during the Great Flood: Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their wives.

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel ,

"Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead
you to the Promised Land."
Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said,

"Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel,
this is the Promised Land."

Today the government has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses,
raised the price of Camels,

and mortgaged the Promised Land to China!

I was so depressed last night thinking about my retirement, the
economy, the wars, lost jobs, etc . . .

I called a Suicide Hotline. I had to press 1 for English. I was then
connected to a call center in Pakistan.

I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could
drive a truck......


The sun is still shining and we are weathering the storms lol

Grass is Greener Other Side Of the Fence

A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large
plastic garbage bags behind her.
One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 fell out onto
the sidewalk.

Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are $20
bills falling out of that bag."

"Oh really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back and
see if I can find them.
Thanks for telling me officer."

"Well, now not so fast," said the cop. Where did you get all that
money? You didn't steal it, did you?"

"Oh, no, no", said the old lady. "You see, my back yard is right next
to the football stadium parking lot.
On game days, a lot of fans come and pee through a knot hole in the
fence, right into my flower garden.

It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I
thought, 'why not make the best of it?'
So, now, on game days, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real
quiet, with my hedge clippers.

Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him,
grab ahold of it and say,
"O.K., buddy! Give me $20, or off it comes!"


"Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing. "OK. Good luck!
Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?"

"Well, you know", said the little old lady, "not everybody pays."

Turning Points

now lets not have a scene in front of company

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

A woman was in bed with her lover
when she heard her husband
opening the front door.

'Hurry,' she said, 'stand in the corner.'

She rubbed baby oil all over him,
then dusted him with talcum powder.

'Don't move until I tell you,'
she said. 'Pretend you're a statue.'

'What's this?' the husband inquired
as he entered the room.

'Oh it's a statue,' she replied.
'The Smiths bought one and I liked it
so I got one for us, too.'

No more was said,
not even when they went to bed.

Around 2 AM the husband got up,
went to the kitchen and returned
with a sandwich and a beer.

'Here,' he said to the statue, 'have this.
I stood like that for two days at the Smiths
and nobody offered me a damned thing.'

What Women Want

I remember the Beaver Cleaver days when it was easy to please a woman.
Buy her perfume, a gorgeous neglige for a special occasion, make up, nice shoes or slippers a pair of evening gloves, a nice hat, broaches earrings and necklaces.....
No matter how poor girls were they always managed to look like a million bucks because of the way they presented themselves.
My Mom would always look good for my Dad when he would come home from work and it always made him happy.
Todays woman is different.She is a lot more out going relaxed and wears clothes to please herself. Going to church today does not require elegance. You get away with
pant suits, comfortable low healed shoes or athletic wear. The hair sports easy to manage cuts and hats are mostly knitted .
Todays' woman is comfortable wearing baseball caps and has no real need for make up or even fancy jewelry which tattoos and piercings have replaced. Hair is never gray and thanks to technology, teeth stay pearly white.

So what do women want?

Well .......every woman sometimes needs a treat to be the beautiful girl she was born to be so nothing is passe today. This is what makes todays' woman exciting and even mysterious because she can be many people in one.

She can be a lady one day, a sportswoman another, a role model the third, jack of all trades , dancer, or even a good time girl and be the better for it.

Growing up under my Mom's straight lace influence,I remember her telling me, when you go to university, you will see the light and doors opening up for you.
So I went in with eyes wide open and sure enough she was right.

I remember going to listen to a gay lecture, thinking it was a gathering about people learning how
to make life fun. My friend and I both left laughing when we found out how dumb we were.We entering with our little brown bag sandwiches and left early trying to wear those bags over our heads .lol
We saw so many gay people that day who were so different from the nice people we knew personally, that it was kinda intimidating to find out they were all not so nice.We saw and heard a lot of ugliness in that hour.

I remember reading the women libber books and they were very mind expanding.
They spoke of bra burning and told every young lady that just because she was religious and
straight laced, she was nevertheless a whore just like any street woman. After reading these books, street women could not be judged anymore. They were free, liberated.
They put every woman on the same road going in the same direction, but it made judging every good girl a right in itself.

The significance of this info forced every girl to sit down and question herself and and who she was.
"Am I a whore?" "Rubbish! There certainly is a difference."

They told everyone that sex was a natural need and every one normal needed to have it.
Were they saying if you were not sex crazed and practiced self control, you were not normal?
Yes, they did.

Those books were so liberating that they destroyed the beautiful image of being a wife and Mother and always loving kids, I found the liberation as well as the disrespect both inviting and confusing.
It was not only men who were being bashed and led to confusion with respect to women but also the women bashed with respect to men, in those days.

Liberation cost every woman plenty because it did put all of us on the same plane.
I liked the equality with respect to jobs and equal pay for equal work, but the rest of it was questionable.

Women could never be men. Taking Shotokan Karate proved this to me as I saw fists coming closer to my face, faster and with more power than I could ever muster.lol It got me to brown belt but afterwards my face and teeth became more important to me lol

And although women think faster and ahead because of this,it made them seem smarter.But once you marry and the role changes into being a Mother which takes up most of your time, men are needed to carry on for what now becomes a loving family with precious chicks to keep you on the right track.

Todays' world changed again and society is forcing people into a two income, survival mode and even then it can be difficult.
The result we see today in lack of jobs, housing, money leaving the country, disrespect between men and women,women with no
Mother instincts, destruction of traditional families because the spiritual needs people need in marriages has left and children suffering from ADD etc.... because they are not allowed to grow and explore naturally but forced to fight into a world they do not understand and pressured to accept it as someone else perceives it.
If you never had something, as they say, you never miss it but should not this be your decision to make and not instructed into you before you have a chance to learn about what made this world what it is today?Today they replaced one form of force with another and changed norms
from one kind of torture to another.
Where does psychological torture to survive fit in, in todays world, as families are being economically bashed ?

All the missing links children are being raised with today, will affect life and living in the future.
Education is different from instruction.

So I sigh because looking back, my eyes had been opened as my parents said they would be but I loved living in the innocent world I lost because of it and am grateful they gave me a time to know innocence enough to want it for my children. Isn't this what love means?

Life never allows man to be the creature he was meant to be.
Either wars destroy people and their spirits or politics and life in general.
I guess women libers were right in one thing.
We are all put on the same plate no matter who we are or where.
People are not perfect. We all make mistakes and live in our own hell.
Inspite of all of this, we all like to be recognized as humans trying to be better, trying to do the right thing, in spite of everything.

So what do women want?
Looking back, I think we are no different from any other human.
We all want peace, food, shelter and most of all, love.

Blessed are those who can experience the blush of a pink rose, and be able to pass it forward to future generations.


Have a great day!

I Hunger

"THE HORN of Africa is suffering from its worst drought in 60 years, and food shortages are affecting as many as 12 million people across the region. Not surprisingly, however, the greatest emergency is in southern Somalia, an area under the control of al-Shabab, a group of Islamic militants allied with al-Qaeda. The United Nations has declared that two regions are suffering from famine conditions, with child malnutruition rates of up to 55 percent and infant deaths of six a day. An estimated 2.8 million people in southern Somalia are facing starvation, and 3.7 million in the country overall — or half the population.

Notwithstanding the drought, much of this misery is man-made. Al-Shabab has driven out Western aid groups, which have not operated in southern Somalia since early 2010. It has waged perpetual war against the Somali government and U.N. peacekeeping forces. It has killed Western aid workers. According to a report in the New York Times, it has diverted water resources from poor farmers and imprisoned starving people trying to escape the country. "
