This bird can live to 70 years old. But in order to live that long has to go through a painful change at the age of 40. Just like we have many painful changes in our lives. Except change and don't dwell on the past. This 4th of July, count your blessings and celebrate. (This was sent to me and thought it was worth sharing.)<br />

<br />
An amazing tidbit about the Eagle's eyesight: The eagle can probably identify a rabbit moving almost a mile away. That means that an eagle flying at an altitude of 1000 feet over open country could spot prey over an area of almost 3 square miles from a fixed position.<br />
<br />
No wonder God wants us to spread our wings and soar with eagles.<br />
<br />
God Bless all who share this.<br />

<b>40 Years of Marriage</b><br />
<br />
A married couple in their early 60s were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmXnlydw6xbPMQtFyifMgBFU1GmVPGZYf3Zh1GtjYyYQNOF5Kkn_BLxrUjNHQECDCjzEkVBNn1Ov83dYtyP5rtmEgqe-fCXGz6U4CdwfUCntSSTo5Cjqeb2eC4EJ0jKTP_Wej74CSMZ_p2/s1600/fairy-2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="113" width="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmXnlydw6xbPMQtFyifMgBFU1GmVPGZYf3Zh1GtjYyYQNOF5Kkn_BLxrUjNHQECDCjzEkVBNn1Ov83dYtyP5rtmEgqe-fCXGz6U4CdwfUCntSSTo5Cjqeb2eC4EJ0jKTP_Wej74CSMZ_p2/s320/fairy-2.gif" /></a></div><br />
The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband.<br />
<br />
The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.<br />
<br />
The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqfWX6wQ_W7D4yNSZh5ADmu4LCnNzVBgDtCxthZ1Dv5kLcU1HifJcnMb7YWCA9bEhIDGqakq_jcRHM8jChL_Cii_357ak9l5SwRCLARWiO5IbNWfZSMi6TvQ1bGDQfsgQQIbMU42E8L_aJ/s1600/crying-fairy.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="120" width="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqfWX6wQ_W7D4yNSZh5ADmu4LCnNzVBgDtCxthZ1Dv5kLcU1HifJcnMb7YWCA9bEhIDGqakq_jcRHM8jChL_Cii_357ak9l5SwRCLARWiO5IbNWfZSMi6TvQ1bGDQfsgQQIbMU42E8L_aJ/s320/crying-fairy.gif" /></a></div><br />
The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.<br />
<br />
So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!...the husband became 92 years old.<br />
<br />
<br />
The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember fairies are female.<br />

What is the difference of gender-specific driving etiquette?<br />
<br />
A woman is driving at night on a narrow country road. At the same time, a man is driving in the opposite direction on that same road.<br />
<br />
When they narrowly pass each other at high speed, the woman rolls down her window and loudly shouts - HORSE!<br />
<br />
Immediately the man shouts back - BITCH!<br />
<br />
The man laughs. He is proud to have reacted so quickly to the shouting woman and takes the next turn in the road maintaining his speed.<br />
<br />
Moral of the story:<br />
<br />
Men never listen, and when they do, they don't understand one word a woman says.<br />
<br />

Memory loss is associated with getting older. However, it is not always the case. I have had problems trying to find my car in the parking lot since my 20s. My daughter who is in her early 20s (oh, that makes me old) cannot help me find the car when we go shopping. She tends to forget where the car is parked too.<br />
<br />
I have several pairs of glasses laid out somewhere around the house. I only need them to see. Often I can not find one pair when I need it for reading. Actually, I rarely wear glasses and they still aren't required on my drivers license. This losing the glasses thing started somewhere in my late 20s.<br />
<br />
Just when my husband was barely in his 30s, he called me at work and asked where the coffee pot was. Well, how am I to know that? I am at work. It just so happen that he had placed the pot in the cupboard while in the process of making coffee.<br />
<br />
Therefore, you see, memory lapse does not always have to do with age.<br />
<br />
In this video found on YouTube, it is about the journey to old age. The graphics are grainy, but I found it funny. Definitely something to relate to.<br />

As I've aged, I've become<br />kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend..<br />I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making<br />my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but<br />looks so avant-garde on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy,<br />to be extravagant.<br /><br />I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they<br />understood the great freedom that comes with aging.<br /><br />Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4<br />AM and sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes<br />of the 60 &70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love<br />... I will.<br /><br />I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging<br />body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite<br />the pitying glances from the jet set.<br /><br />They, too, will get old.<br />I know I am sometimes forgetful.<br />But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And I eventually<br />remember the important things.<br /><br />Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not<br />break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers,<br />or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts<br />are what give us strength and understanding and<br />compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never<br />know the joy of being imperfect.<br /><br />I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray,<br />and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my<br />face.<br />So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their<br />hair could turn silver.<br /><br />As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what<br />other people think. I don't question myself anymore.<br />I've even earned the right to be wrong.<br /><br />So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like<br />the person I have become. I am not going to live forever,<br />but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have<br />been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single<br />day(if I feel like it).<br /><br />Anonymous<br /><br />(Pass on by Aunt)SandyMDesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01392294717903709417noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224219323272452715.post-37930876390343620102008-10-16T09:17:00.000-05:002008-10-16T09:23:20.049-05:00Get that "Old Morning" feeling<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh03Zr4TEINLaatqVO_goD6SSHwNHd6cttmq-Iys9lQKTyb6j7ng2GCBkyMGeuNoGJyR872VgNbKxXW4UKYQ2-pIHwYb-H8-yBpA9yGTBNOpzl8fJ8sqY6dgTBtEI6GOxVb1Vu1fRMNWfs/s1600-h/bad+in+the+morining.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh03Zr4TEINLaatqVO_goD6SSHwNHd6cttmq-Iys9lQKTyb6j7ng2GCBkyMGeuNoGJyR872VgNbKxXW4UKYQ2-pIHwYb-H8-yBpA9yGTBNOpzl8fJ8sqY6dgTBtEI6GOxVb1Vu1fRMNWfs/s400/bad+in+the+morining.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257755731978257794" /></a><p><br />If just doesn't seem fair...Do you remember when you were in your 20's and drank all night...how did you feel in the morning?

We want to expand our<br />base of online supporters from 38,000 to 50,000 people over the course of the<br />next month. With this 30+ percent increase, we will enhance our ability to<br />influence Congress when important bills are under consideration. We will also<br />be able to activate a larger number of Americans during the upcoming general<br />election season when the issue of excessive presidential power should be at the<br />top of the national agenda.<br /><br />Why should your friends join the American Freedom Campaign -- either by signing<br />our petition or by signing up for AFC updates on our home page? That's a good<br />question. This is why (and this, of course, is what they will read when you<br />forward this E-mail along):<br /><br />? The American Freedom Campaign was launched less than eight months ago to build<br />a grassroots movement to help restore the Constitution and reverse the<br />violations of civil liberties and human rights that have occurred over the past<br />seven years.<br /><br />? Over the past few months, the American Freedom Campaign has filled an<br />important role in Washington by leading the fight to restore our system of<br />checks and balances. While there are many organizations fighting specific<br />policies considered unconstitutional, few, if any, are focused almost<br />exclusively on restraining executive overreach.<br /><br />? Consistent with its mission to restore checks and balances, AFC aggressively<br />-- and successfully -- pushed the U.S. House to pass a contempt resolution<br />against Bush administration officials who refused to comply with congressional<br />subpoenas. The Capitol Hill newspaper, Roll Call, in an article about the<br />contempt vote in the House, cited AFC as an example -- in fact, the only example<br />-- of an advocacy group generating grassroots pressure on House members.<br /><br />? AFC has also helped inject constitutional balance of powers issues into the<br />debate over the nation's Iraq policy. As the Bush administration negotiates an<br />agreement with the Iraqi government to establish the parameters of the two<br />nations' bilateral relationship beyond 2008, AFC is working with members of<br />Congress to ensure that no significant commitment is made without the approval<br />of Congress. Toward this end, AFC hosted a conference call on which Rep.<br />Barbara Lee (D-CA), joined by two constitutional scholars from Yale Law School,<br />introduced a resolution expressing the sense of the House that any major<br />agreement reached without congressional approval will be invalid.<br /><br />? As the 2008 campaign moves forward, AFC will play a critically important<br />educational role. We will aggressively push the message that the Bush<br />administration's dramatic expansion of executive power makes the selection of<br />the next president one of the most important decisions the citizens of this<br />nation will ever make.<br /><br />But if we are going to succeed moving forward, it will only be with your help.<br />So, please, take a minute and forward this email to anyone you think would be<br />interested in our mission. We hope they will then either sign our petition or<br />sign up for AFC updates on our home page:<br /><br />http://www.americanfreedomcampaign.org/<br /><br />If you are not able to forward this email along, we hope that you will consider<br />making a financial contribution to the American Freedom Campaign. If every<br />person on this list gives just $10, we will be able to dramatically expand our<br />public education efforts.

PHIL: <br />The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems. <br /> <br />OPRAH :<br />Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens. <br /> <br />GEORGE W. BUSH :<br />We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here. <br /> <br />COLIN POWELL :<br />Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road... <br /> <br />ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:<br />We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road. <br /> <br />JOHN KERRY: <br />Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it. <br /> <br />NANCY GRACE :<br />That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks. <br /> <br />PAT BUCHANAN: <br />To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American. <br /> <br />MARTHA STEWART :<br />No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information. <br /> <br />DR SEUSS :<br />Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told. <br /> <br />ERNEST HEMINGWAY: <br />To die in the rain. Alone. <br /> <br />JERRY FALWELL :<br />Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that. <br /> <br />GRANDPA :<br />In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough. <br /> <br />BARBARA WALTERS: <br />Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road. <br /> <br />ARISTOTLE: <br />It is the nature of chickens to cross the road. <br /> <br />JOHN LENNON :<br />Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace. <br /> <br />BILL GATES: <br />I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ....... reboot. <br /> <br />ALBERT EINSTEIN :<br />Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken? <br /> <br />BILL CLINTON: <br />I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken? <br /> <br />AL GORE :<br />I invented the chicken! <br /> <br />COLONEL SANDERS :<br />Did I miss one?<br /> <br />DICK CHENEY :<br />Where's my gun? <br /> <br />AL SHARPTON: <br />Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224219323272452715.post-59144175407172818312007-11-25T18:30:00.000-06:002008-09-05T19:45:26.784-05:00SHOULD YOUR NEXT CAR BE A PC?<strong>Why Microsoft shouldn't make cars</strong><br /><br />At a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated: "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving twenty-five dollar cars that got 1000 miles to the gallon." <br /><br />In response to Bill's comments/General Motors issued a press release stating the following: "If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would be driving cars with the following characteristics:<br /><br />1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.<br /><br />2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.<br /><br />3. Occasionally, your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would accept this, restart, and drive on.<br /><br />4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart;<br />in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.<br /><br />5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought 'Car95' or 'CarNT.' Then you would have to buy<br />more seats.<br /><br />6. Macintosh would make a car that's powered by the sun, more reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five percent of the roads.<br /><br />7. The oil, water, temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single 'general car fault' warning light.<br /><br />8. New seats would force everyone to have the same butt size.<br /><br />9. The airbag system would say 'Are you sure?' before going off.<br /><br />10. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.<br /><br />11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps, even though they neither need them nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50 per cent or more.<br /><br />12. Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.<br /><br />13. You'd press the 'Start' button to shut off the engine.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224219323272452715.post-8185187503747191492007-11-13T23:09:00.000-06:002007-11-13T23:11:27.951-06:00Technorati.com<a href="http://technorati.com/claim/ttakysqv8u" rel="me">Technorati Profile</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224219323272452715.post-52672226656460977532007-11-13T21:30:00.000-06:002007-11-16T07:48:29.952-06:00Who is this 40 year old star<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFf8Fns6HLJWm9eF53TdxcGCBe4P3Xy6hJmhg9VmMTS1WdCZHOXJwOUHk3oGR2KZEgsL432NTJ1ZFiKPgB1wCy7qRrIU2o1cQEdkNjgvGfizP4qlU8lok7L6z_42DlIAAx1oXM9GLVk5w/s1600-h/julia-roberts.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFf8Fns6HLJWm9eF53TdxcGCBe4P3Xy6hJmhg9VmMTS1WdCZHOXJwOUHk3oGR2KZEgsL432NTJ1ZFiKPgB1wCy7qRrIU2o1cQEdkNjgvGfizP4qlU8lok7L6z_42DlIAAx1oXM9GLVk5w/s320/julia-roberts.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133133779466618610" /></a><br /><br />Don't click on the picture before you guest.

The numbers keep rising. I do not want to go over the hill, so I will just embrace the hill. BIG BIG HUG!!! I don't want to see what is on the other side. It was hard enough getting to the top of this little hill, only to find out that there are many</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">mountains in my way. What am I to do? If it were football, I could punt. That would put more pain on my <span style="color:#000000;"><strong>arthritic knees</strong> and my <strong>bone spurred feet</strong>. Now</span> I have to figure out how to stay on the defensive. The big 50 is knocking. But I am still on the hill and I will stay there with a "death grip" as long as I can.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">It's true that time goes faster as one get older. One day you are wondering "What will I be when I grow up?" You have big plans and think, "When I am old, say 30 or so...I will have all this money and be able to retire." In the blink of an eye, you are all grown up, (at least in age) not "thirty" but "forty something". You realize..."Where is the money...will I ever be able to retire?" The answer is "NO"! And after I can longer work the job that I have now, I will be a WalMart greeter. I will be working until the day I die.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">In the mean time, I need to stop looking in the mirror. Stop looking at what gravity has done. I don't even remember when that happen! When did all those <strong>wrinkles</strong> start? Who ever heard of <strong>adult acne</strong>? My skin was always clear as a teenager. People told me that I was too thin. When was the last time that I heard that? Not that I want to be too thin...but I hate being too <strong>fat</strong>. </span><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Maybe I can click my feet together (ouch..those <strong>bone spurs</strong>) and repeat these words, "I am young, sucessful and good looking".<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Ok, I will just embrace this hill for awhile.<br /></span><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
