One Flaw In Women

                                                                                                                                    Women have strengths that amaze men…

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in..

They stand up to injustice.

They don’t take “no” for an answer

when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about

a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they

think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss

can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what

makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their

family and friends.

Women have vital things to say

and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Recently, in large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym. 

It read:
THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?

A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.

To Whom It May Concern:

Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life; they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp.  They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Barren Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs.  They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans.  They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.

Mermaids don’t exist.  If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis.  Fish or human?  They don’t have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them not to mention how could they have sex?  Therefore they don’t have kids either. 

Not to mention who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store?

The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.

P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a piece of chocolate with my friends.  With time we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies.  So we aren’t heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. 

Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, “Good gosh, look how smart I am.”

Now, I, Meredith, must be one of the smartest women in the world!  until next time. Just wait to see how much smarter I am even after this Christmas! Until next time . . .

Happy Thanksgiving to All Americans

Thank God for All Our Blessings

Remember All Those Who Have Sacrificed to Make and Keep America Great

Pray for Those Who Are Not as Fortunate in This Terrible Time Our Country Now Endures

Pray For All Who Suffer All Over the World

Pray That Our Country Turn Back to God

Let The Majority Of Our Country Believe Who Believe in God Speak Up and Stop Worrying over Political Correctness

 

I am thankful that my husband also endures through several bouts of cancer and is my greatest support

I am thankful for my family

I am thankful for all my friends who put up with me

I am thankful for the freedoms we enjoy in our country, especially religious freedom

I am thankful for my beloved Cavaliers and the wonderful homes they have gone to over the years and for the fortune of all the good luck Rattlebridge has had in the show ring

I am thankful for our beautiful home

But most of all I am grateful for the blessings of God and the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ so that we may be saved

I am grateful for that Salvation and I accept Jesus Christ as my personal Savior

 

Our politics are so screwed up; we seem to have lost what we once stood for in our country.  Just read the following for a chuckle and maybe a story just too close to the truth:

 

Curtis &Leroy saw an ad in the Starkville Daily News Newspaper in Starkville, MS. and bought a mule for $100.  The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day.

The next morning the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night.”

Curtis & Leroy replied, “Well, then just give us our money back.”

The farmer said, “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.”

They said, “OK then, just bring us the dead mule.”

The farmer asked, “What in the world ya’ll gonna do with a dead mule?”

Curtis said, “We gonna raffle him off.”

The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead mule!”

Leroy said, “We shore can!  Heck, we don’t hafta tell nobody he’s dead!”

A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis &Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly  grocery store and asked.
“What’d you fellers ever do with that dead mule?”
They said,”We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do.”

Leroy said,”Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.”

The farmer said,”My Lord, didn’t anyone complain?”

Curtis said, “Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back.”

Curtis and Leroy now work for the government.

They’re overseeing the Bailout Program.

Limit all US politicians to two terms.
One in office
One in prison
Illinois already does this!

 

For the Fallen . . .
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

By Laurence Binyon -1914

 

 I CERTAINLY HOPE THIS DOES NOT OFFEND ANYONE: IT MAY NOT BE POLITICALLY CORRECT, BUT I THINK IT’S FUNNY

Wait until Al sees our new door knocker! 

Where can I order one of these!

 

What can I say??? 

 

  

House Minority Leader  Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far  right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert,  D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a  new budget. (AP)

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two…  he’s on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.

These are the folks that couldn’t get the budget out by Oct. 1,  Seriously, we’ve got a 30 day budget extension.  Well, guess what, 30 days from now we will be in the same boat.  I guess this makes it easy for the news ‘reporters’ as all they have to do is recycle the same headlines from this week and from 2 years ago.  And these yo-yo’s will still be playing SOLITAIRE!!!

 

 

From my friend Mona:

It is hard to understand how and why the Northwest Airlines pilots got so distracted on their recent attempt to fly directly to Minneapolis/St Paul, especially after a long and restful layover in San Diego

 
The Airbus cockpit is a very sophisticated complicated piece of technology. There is more than enough going on to keep pilots quite busy throughout their flight. As the attached photo shows, is difficult to understand the reason for their inattention!

 

PLEASE VOTE FOR ISSUE 2 AND KEEP OUR LIVESTOCK FARMING IN THE HANDS OF OUR OHIO FARMERS! 

Hopefully, those of you in Ohio will read this in time to vote tomorrow for ISSUE 2. ISSUE 2 puts our Ohio farmers in control of livestock farming in our state rather than have the animal rightists like the Humane Society of the United States (a national organization promoting itself from donations and not doing anything for the welfare of animals) and Peta (determined to end the “enslavement” of companion animals and livestock)  interfere with farming in our state.  When Proposition 2 passed in California, non farmers and animal rightists came in with  regulations that crippled the farming of livestock causing many farmers to leave the state rather than try to change farming methods that would ruin them financially.  Livestock should be raised and slaughtered humanely. Farmers should be in charge of regulating humane standards in which livestock are raised. 

PLEASE VOTE FOR ISSUE 2 AND KEEP OUR LIVESTOCK FARMING IN THE HANDS OF OUR OHIO FARMERS!
