Today’s technology is incredible! Imagine enabling to speak instantly to God.

COPPER  COATED MICROCHIP IMPLANT ALLOWS TERRORISTS TO  SPEAK TO GOD

The implant is specifically designed to be injected in the forehead.

When properly installed, it will instantly allow the terrorist to speak to God. 

It  comes in various sizes: Generally from .223 to  .50 cal.



The exact size of the implant will be selected by a well-trained and highly skilled technician, who  will also make the injection.

No Anesthetic is required.

The implant is likely to be painless. Side effects, like headaches, nausea, aches or pains are extremely temporary.

Some bleeding or swelling may occur at the injection site. In most cases, you won’t even notice it.

Please enjoy the security we provide for you.

Best  regards,

Then it is winter ... Thx Alan O and Jackie B!

Winter is upon us ... Thx Alan O and Jackie B!

I FIRST STARTED READING THIS EMAIL & WAS READING FAST, UNTIL I REACHED THE THIRD SENTENCE. I STOPPED AND STARTED OVER, READING SLOWER AND THINKING ABOUT EVERY WORD. THIS EMAIL IS VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING. MAKES YOU STOP AND THINK. READ SLOWLY!)
AND

THEN IT IS WINTER

You know. . . Time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.

But, here it is... The winter of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.

But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting grey...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great change...Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be.

Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit! And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!!

But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth...its over. A new adventure will begin! Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime. So, if you're not in your winter yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, what ever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!

"Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one. LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! DO SOMETHING FUN! BE HAPPY ! HAVE A GREAT DAY Remember "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver LIVE HAPPY IN 2013!

LASTLY, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN,YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE SO - ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS. ~Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect! ~Going out is good.. Coming home is better! ~You forget names.... But it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!! ~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything.... Especially golf. ~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore. ~You sleep better on a lounge chair with theTV blaring than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep". ~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch .~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"... ??? ~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere. ~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!! ~What used to be freckles are now liver spots. ~Everybody whispers. ~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear.

~~~But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!! Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" Send this on to other "Friends!" and let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!!  It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived.!!!

Maybe a little out of line for my blog, but ... oh well ... Thx Jackie B!

You know you're going to forward this.

 

Clotheslines ... Thx Jackie B (PHS 55) !

Oh!  I LOVED this piece and can well remember my angel Mom out in the heat or the bitter cold hanging our freshly-and-often-HAND-washed clothes, God love her sweet and hard-working soul...and taking them down the right way too not to mention the hours of IRONING she did for all of us!  And – there is NOTHING sweeter-smelling than pillows and sheets whipped dry by the wind and gathered and put on beds by a truly LOVING Mother – !!!  Thanks for sending; so very nostalgic and touching – if I close my eyes I can go back and smell those freshly-washed and dried bed clothes to this day – you know the sense of smell is the last sense to go they say

I grew up hanging clothes on the line and remember every one of those "rules".  It was a challenge in those cold wet Iowa winters; clothes indeed froze on the line -  making it impossible to fold them up; tuck them in the basket and carry into the house.  As a teenager, it was very embarrassing hanging undies on the line for neighbors or passersby to see or worst yet should a boyfriend stop by.  However, if it were allowed today in my own fenced backyard, I'd hang my clothes out to dry and sleep on the freshest smelling sheets one could ever ask for . . . yes, those where the good old days and it kept little hands busy; out of mischief along with doing the dishes, scrubbing hardwood floors or picking veggies from the garden.  Great memories :)

THIS IS FUNNY AND  QUITE TRUE...WE ARE PROBABLY THE LAST GENERATION THAT WILL REMEMBER WHAT A CLOTHESLINE WAS.

Great  memories for some of us!  It's the poem at the end  that's the best!!!  Remembering Mom's  Clothesline.

There is one thing  that's left out. We had a long wooden pole (clothes pole) that was used to push the clotheslines up so that longer items (sheets/pants/etc.) didn't brush the ground and get dirty.  I can hear my mother now...

THE BASIC RULES FOR  CLOTHESLINES:
(If you don't even know what clotheslines are, better skip this.)

1.  You had to hang the socks by the toes... NOT the  top.

2.  You hung pants by the BOTTOM/cuffs... NOT the  waistbands.

3.  You had to WASH the clothesline(s) before  hanging any clothes - walk the entire length  of each line with a damp cloth around the lines.

4.  You had to hang the clothes in a certain order,  and always hang "whites" with "whites," and hang them first.

5.  You NEVER hung a shirt by the shoulders - always  by the tail!  What would the neighbors think?

6.  Wash day on a Monday! NEVER hang clothes on the  weekend, or on Sunday, for Heaven's sake!

7.  Hang the sheets and towels on the OUTSIDE lines  so you could hide your "unmentionables" in the middle (perverts & busybodies, y'know!)

8. It  didn't matter if it was sub-zero weather...  clothes would  "freeze-dry."

9.  ALWAYS gather the clothes pins when taking down  dry clothes!! Pins left on the lines were "tacky"!

10.  If you were efficient, you would line the  clothes up so that each item did not need two clothes pins, but shared one of the clothes pins with the next washed item.

11.  Clothes off of the line before dinner time,  neatly folded in the clothes basket, and ready to be ironed.

12.  IRONED??!! Well, that's a whole OTHER  subject!
   

And  now a POEM...
A clothesline was a news  forecast, To neighbors passing  by,
There  were no secrets you could keep, When clothes  were hung to dry.
It  also was a friendly link, For neighbors always  knew
If  company had stopped on by, To spend a night or  two.
  
For  then you'd see the "fancy sheets", And towels  upon the line;
You'd  see the "company table cloths", With intricate  designs.
The  line announced a baby's birth, >From folks who  lived inside,
As  brand new infant clothes were hung, So carefully  with pride!
  
The  ages of the children could, So readily be  known
By  watching how the sizes changed, You'd know how much they'd grown!
It  also told when illness struck, As extra sheets  were hung;
Then  nightclothes, and a bathrobe too, Haphazardly  were strung.
  
It  also said, "On vacation now", When lines hung  limp and bare.
It told, "We're back!"  when full lines sagged, With not an inch to  spare!
New  folks in town were scorned upon, If wash was  dingy and gray,
As  neighbors carefully raised their brows, And  looked the other way.
  
But  clotheslines now are of the past, For dryers  make work much less.
Now  what goes on inside a home, Is anybody's  guess!
I  really miss that way of life, It was a friendly  sign
When  neighbors knew each other best... By what hung  on the line.
    

Really good video by Honda ... Thx Ramey H!
