NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

* Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.

* Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause they know it's true!!!

"HAPPY FALL Y'ALL"






From one pumpkin to another!!!!!!!

A woman was asked by a coworker, 'What is it like to be a Christian?'

The coworker replied, 'It is like being a pumpkin.' God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.

He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.'

This was passed on to me by another pumpkin. Now it's your turn to pass it to other pumpkins.

I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch.

This is one of the
Best prayers
I think I have ever read.
PRAY THIS EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!!
IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.
I started not to do this, but as I read it...
I understood God to say,
'You need a miracle tomorrow'
so here goes...Prov. 29:25 You never know
when God is going to bless you!!
Good things happen when
you least expect them to !!
Change the number in the subject box
when you forward it by adding one!!!
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day,
I thank You for my being able to see
and to hear this morning.
I'm blessed because You are
a forgiving and understanding God.
You have done so much for me
and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything
I have done, said, or thought
that was not pleasing to you.I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe
from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day
with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day
to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper
about things I have over which I have no control.And give me the best response
when I'm pushed beyond my limits.I know that when I can't pray,
You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be
a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted that I may have
words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those who are lost
and can't find their way.
I pray for those who are misjudged
and misunderstood.
I pray for those who
don't know You intimately.
I pray for those who will delete this
without sharing it with others
I pray for those who don't believe.But I thank You because I believe
that God changes people and
God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
For each and every family member
in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy
in their homes; that they are out of debt
and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this
knows there is no problem, circumstance,
or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received
into the hearts of every eye that sees them
in Jesus' name. Amen!
If you prayed this prayer,
change the number in the subject box
before forwarding the message
so people can see how many
other people have done so.
God Bless You! ! ! ! !
Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves!!
God I love you and I need you,
please come into my heart...
Pass this message to 10 people except you and me.
You will receive a miracle tomorrow.God will bless you.Know that you are already blessed
by the person who sent this to you.
It couldn't hurt!

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL
If you go to this web site,
www.LetsSayThanks.com
you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq .
You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!!
It is FREE and it only takes a second.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?
Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them.
This takes just 10 se conds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. We can never say enough thank you's.
Thanks for taking to time to support our military!
JUST DO IT,, SAY THANKS TO THE GUYS AND GALS AWAY FROM HOME TO LET THEM KNOW WE ARE ALL THINKING OF THEM,,,, GRANDPA!!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!

This is a valuable piece of information to keep!!
www.FamilyWatchDog.usWhen you visit this site you can enter your address and a map will pop up with your house as a small icon of a house. There will be red, blue and green dots surrounding your entire neighborhood. When you click on these dots a picture of a criminal will appear with his or her home address and the description of the crime he or she has committed.
The best thing is that you can show your children these pictures and see how close these people live to your home or school.
This site was developed by John Walsh from Americas Most Wanted. This is another tool we can use to help us keep our kids safe.
Please pass this on to everyone!!!
This is a good thing to know,, so we can keep the children safe and maybe US, also. God bless us all, we need it,,,,,, Fran

Please read this!!!!!


Just a Cop
The funeral line was long, there are an awful lot of cars. Folks came out of the restaurants and they came out of the bars.The workers at the construction sitesall let their hammers drop.Someone asked. "What is this all for?"And they said,"Aw, just a Cop." Some chuckled at the passing cars,some shed a silent tear,some people said, stupid.""All these dumb policemen here.""How come they are not out fighting crime?""Or in a doughnut shop?""Sure is a lot of trouble, for someone who's just a Cop." They blocked the intersections, and blocked the interstate.People yelled and cursed,"damn, it's going to make me late!""This is really ridiculous!""They're making' us all stop!""It seems they are sure wasting time, on someone who's just a Cop." Into the cemetery now, the slow procession comes; The woeful Taps are slowly played.there are loud salutes from guns.the graveyard workers shake their heads"This service is a flop.""There are lots of good words wasted, On someone who's just a Cop"Yeah, just a Cop to most folks,Did his duty every day.Trying to protect us,until his life was taken away.When he got to heaven,St. Peter put him at the top.An angel asked him,"Who was that?"And he said, "Aw, just a Cop." The Judgment :The Officer stood and faced his God,which must always come to pass.He hoped his shoes were shinning,just as brightly as his brass."Step forward now, Officer,How shall I deal with you?Have you always turned the other cheek?To my church have you been true?" The Officer squared his shoulder and said,"No, Lord, I guess I am not,because those of us who carry badges can'talways be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays,and at times my talk was rough.Sometimes I've been violentbecause the streets are tough. But I never took a pennythat wasn't mine to keep.Though I worked a lot of overtime,when the bills got too steep.I never passed a cry for helpthough at times I shook with fear,and sometimes, God forgive me,I've wept an unmanly tear. I know I don't deserve a place among the people here.They never wanted me around except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me here, Lord,it needn't be so grand.I never expected or had too much,but if you don't...I'll understand." There was silence all around the throne,where the saints often trod.As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God. "Step forward now, Officer." "You've borne your burdens well." "Come walk a beat on heaven's streets," "You've done your time in Hell."

NOW THIS IS FUNNY

An 80-year old man goes for a physical. All of his tests come back with normal results. The doctor says, "Chuck, everything looks great. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with God?"

Chuck replies, "God and I are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so he's fixed it so when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, poof! the light goes on. When I'm done, poof! the light goes off."
"Wow, that's incredible." the doctor says. A little later in the day, the doctor calls Chuck's wife. "Ethel," he says, "Chuck is doing fine! But I had to call you as I am in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and poof! the light goes on in the bathroom, and when he's done poof! the light goes off?"

"Oh my God!" Ethel exclaims. "he's peeing in the refrigerator again!"

I AM OLD ,,, but not that old!!!!!!!!
But I can still chuckle about this one!!!
Can you? from your old Grandpa!!

I COULD NOT HELP MY SELF,,,


JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS!!!!!!!

Monday, February 19, 2007



HOMELESS PERSON
As I walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for an important meeting, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days.Wearing what can only be describes as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition.Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them.Recalling some long ago Sunday School admonition to "care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked," I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person.Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a hidden beauty. A small voice inside my head called out, "Reach out, reach out!"
¯¯





¯So I did.........
.I get out of the hospital in about 3 months
.It would be nice to get a card or maybe a visitor
