Charlie asks--Did you know?

 

Did You Know? January 12, 1737 John Hancock (statesman) was born. Hancock's bold signature on the Declaration of Independence dwarfed the signatures of the other signers. Legend says that Hancock wanted the king of England

Prayer For Our First Day Of 2010

Father in Heaven, I pray today that You would help me this coming year to have faith for the future, that I might listen to You and that I might hear You speak. And Lord, because You've spoken, that I might realize Your will, resign myself to Your will, and rely upon Your will. May I be aware each day that You still have an overriding plan for history. This world has never gotten out of Your control. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

May your first day of 2010 be one of pure Happiness!

God Bless you ALL and THANK YOU for making

2009 a Blessing for me!!!!

The Blue Train

The scenery in this is fabulous. The ultimate in rail travel luxury.

I note that they switch to Diesel from Steam while in motion.Puts the Rocky Mountaineer to shame.

Stew

The Blue Train travels an approximately 1,600 kilometer (1,000 mile) journey in South Africa between Pretoria and Cape Town. It is one of the most luxurious train journeys in the world. It boasts butler service, two lounge cars (smoking and non-smoking), an observation car, and carriages with gold-tinted picture windows, in soundproofed, fully carpeted compartments, each featuring its own en-suite (many of which are equipped with a full-sized bathtub). The service is promoted as a "magnificent moving five-star hotel" by its operators, who note that kings and presidents have travelled on it.

Subject: Road Safety

 
 
 

I had a flat tire yesterday, so I got out of the car and opened the trunk.

I took out my cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of
my car facing oncoming traffic.
They look so life like you wouldn't believe it!
They are  exposing their nude bodies to the approaching drivers.

Cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike
men which made it safer for me to work at the side of the road.

Traffic starts backing up. Everybody is honking their horns and waving
like crazy. It wasn't long before a state trooper pulled up behind me.

'What's going on here?'

'My car has a flat tire,' I said calmly.

'Well, what are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?'

I couldn't believe that he didn't know.. So I told him,

'Helloooooo, those are my Emergency Flashers.'

The Window Through Which We Look

The  Window Through Which We  Look

 

 

A  young couple moved into a new  neighborhood
The next morning while they were  eating breakfast,
The young woman saw her  neighbor hanging the wash outside.
'That  laundry is not very clean,' she said.
'She  doesn't know how to wash correctly.
Perhaps  she needs better laundry soap.'

Her  husband looked on, but remained  silent.

Every time her neighbor would  hang her wash to dry,
The young woman would  make the same comments.

About one month  later, the woman was surprised to see  a
Nice clean  wash on the line and said to her  husband:

'Look, she has learned how to  wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her  this.'

The husband said, 'I got up early  this morning and
Cleaned our  windows.'

And so it is with life. What we see when watching others
Depends on the window through which we look

Daddy Dewdrop.. 'Chick A Boom'

Daddy Dewdrop.. 'Chick A Boom'

Last night I had a crazy dream
About a chick in a black bikini
Oh, she looked so good
She couldn't be real
She must be a magic genie
But then she disappeared around the corner

All I saw were three doors
And the top of her bikini
I made it through the first door
There was a party going on
I asked about the chick
But what they said was freaky

Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
Don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
Don't you jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
Don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom-boom-boom

I found the bottom half
Behind the second door
Which took me to Africa I presume
This really far out cat
Was screaming half crazy
"Bomp boom a loo bom a long bam boo"
I said, hey man
Cut that jive
And tell me where the chick went
But he looked at me
As pleased as could be
And said these words
But I wonder what he meant

Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't you jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom-boom-boom

Aaaah, don't ya jes' love it
Mmm-hum, don't ya jes' love it
Don't ya love it, don't ya love it
Oh yeah, don't ya love it
Don't ya jes' love it now

I opened the third door and there she was
And she whispered so sexy, hello-ooh
I tried to do the same
And impress her with my style
But why I said this
I'll never know

Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't you jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom-boom-boom

Don't ya know I'll

 

Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't you jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom-boom-boom

 

Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't ya jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom
(Mmmmm-aaaah)
Don't you jes' love it
Chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom

just dust

 

LADIES!!!

 

Remember...a  layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it.

 

'A  house  becomes a home  when you can write 'I love you' on the furniture .'  
  
  I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure  things were just perfect - 'in case someone came over'  
  Finally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all  out living life and having fun! 
 NOW,  when people visit, I  don't have to explain  the 'condition'  of my home  

They  are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing  while I was away living life and having fun.
 If you haven't  figured this out yet, please heed this advice.
 
 Life  is short. Enjoy it!  
  Dust if you must .......  

but  wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter,  bake  cookies or a cake  and  lick the spoon or plant a seed,  
 ponder  the difference between want and need?
 Dust  if you must,  but  there's not much time . . . .

with  beer to drink , rivers to swim and mountains to climb  ,  music  to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead.  

 

but  the world's out there with the sun in your eyes,  the  wind in your hair, a  flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This  day will not come around, again.  

Dust if you must  ,  but  bear in mind,  old  age will come and it's not kind.. . .

And  when you go - and go you must - you, yourself will make more  dust!  
 
 
  Share  this with all the wonderful women in your life.
 I  JUST DID.
 It's  not what you gather,  but  what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.  

 

 

 

 

 Wish you a wonderful a sunny weekend 

hope everthing is getting right..don,t spend to much time on your pc and don,t clean up

and please if you find the time come an visit Bjarne again

you will find the translation on my side ((-:

Euro-English

The EU Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.

The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with
"z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou"
and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

WHY GOD CREATED EVE

10. God worried that Adam would frequently become
lost in the garden because he would not ask for
directions.

9. God knew that Adam would one day require
someone to locate and hand him the TV remote.

8. God knew that Adam would never go out and get
himself a new fig leaf when his seat wore out and
would, therefore, need Eve to go get one for him.

7. God knew that Adam would never be able to make
a doctor's, dentist, or haircut appointment for himself.

6. God knew that Adam would never be able to remember which night to put the garbage on the curb.

5. God knew that if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle the pain and discomfort of childbearing.

4. As "Keeper of the Garden," Adam would never
remember where he left his tools.

3. Apparently, Adam needed someone to blame his
troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.

2. As the Bible says, "It is not good for man to be alone!"

1. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched His head, and said, "I can do better than THAT!"

11 People on a Rope     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,   otherwise they were all going to fall.   They weren’t able to choose that person,   until the woman 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 i wish you a wonderful night sleep well hugs from Janna and if you find the time please visit my unicorn Bjarne

a blonde

A blonde and a redhead met for dinner after work and were watching the 6 o'clock news. A man was shown threatening to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge. The blonde bet the redhead $50 that he wouldn't jump, and the redhead replied, "I'll take that bet!"

Anyway, sure enough, he jumped, so the blonde gave the redhead the $50 she owned. The redhead said, "I can't take this, you're my friend." The blonde said, "No. A bet's a bet."

So the redhead said, "Listen, I have to admit, I saw this one on the 5 o'clock news, so I can't take your money."

The blonde replied, "Well, so did I, but I never thought he'd jump again!"

Two little old ladies

Two little old ladies were sitting on a park bench outside the local town hall where a flower show was in progress.

The thin one leaned over and said, 'Life is so boring.  We never have any fun any more.  For $10 I'd take my clothes off and streak through that stupid flower show!'

'You're on!' said the other old lady, holding up a $10 bill. The first little old lady slowly fumbled her way out of her clothes and,

completely naked, streaked (as fast as an old lady can) through the front door of the flower show.

Waiting outside, her friend soon heard a huge commotion inside the hall, followed by loud applause and shrill whistling. The smiling and naked old lady came through the exit door surrounded by a cheering crowd.

'What happened?' asked her waiting friend.

'I won 1st prize as Best Dried Arrangement.

for all my friends who were born......more ...just read

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE
BORN IN THE



1930's 1940's, 50's, 60's and
early 70's !





First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.



Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.


We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to
mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.


As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.


We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.


Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds, KFC, Subway or Nandos.


Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn't open on the weekends, somehow we didn't starve to death!

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.



We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy  Toffees, Gobstoppers, Bubble Gum and some bangers to blow up frogs with.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......


WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!


We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.


No one was able to reach us all day.
And we were O.K.��


We would spend hours building our go-carts out of old prams and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and
played in river beds with matchbox cars.


We did not have Playstations, Nintendo Wii, X-boxes, no
video games at all, no 999 channels on SKY, no video/dvd  films, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!



We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no Lawsuits from these accidents.




Only girls had pierced ears!


We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us20forever.



You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at Easter time...


We were given air guns and catapults for our 10th birthdays,



We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang
the bell, or just yelled for them!


Mum didn't have to go to work to help dad mak e ends meet!




RUGBY and CRICKET had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! Getting into the team was based on  MERIT 



Our teachers used to hit us with canes and gym shoes and bully's always ruled the playground at school.




The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!




Our parents didn't invent stupid names for their kids like 'Kiora' and 'Blade' and 'Ridge' and 'Vanilla'

 We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!


And YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!



You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the
government regulated our lives for our own good.


And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.




PS -The big type is because your eyes are not too good at your age anymore

something that touched me heart this morning as well

This is one of the kindest things I've ever experienced.

I have no way to know who sent it, but there is a kind soul

working in the dead letter office of the US postal service.

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month.

The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was

crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.

She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when

Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that

I thought we could so she dictated these words:

Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday

and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy

that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.

I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and
to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her

you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.

Love, Meredith.

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and
Meredith
and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on
it.
Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the
envelope
because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter
all the

way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter
box at
the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten
the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our
front

porch addressed, "To Meredith" in an unfamiliar hand.

Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called,

"When a Pet Dies." Taped to the inside front cover was the
letter we

had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page
was
the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:

Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven.
Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right
away.

Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like
it stays

in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't
need our

bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture
in,

so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to
keep and


have something to remember Abbey by.
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for

helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful
mother

you have. I picked her especially for you.

I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very
much.


By the way, I am wherever there is love.

Love, God
