  • Six days and counting, are you ready for Christmas?

    I've always been a last minute shopper, hehehe. I've been planning to buy some presents since, but cannot get myself moving. I've been doing this for years, how about you?

    Edit: Bought a Wii two weeks ago (for my son's Chrismas gift). He found it (digging) in my closet. So we played the games and it's fun (early Christmas huh!). Now my shoulder hurts playing court tennis,lol.

    Anyhow, I just wanted to say "advance Merry Christmas, and a Prosperous New Year to all." Peace and enjoy the holidays...

  • Is anyone love this poem? I called it "Food for Thought"?

    I always take my time and moment to say goodbye with my family, with hugs and kisses. We may never know what happened every time we are out somewhere.

    Also, try to learn how to forgive and forget with others. I hope this poem helps you think, that we are only here temporarily,enjoying our life the best we can. Cheers everyone...

    A Food For Thought

    I knelt to pray but not for long,

    I had too much to do.

    I had to hurry and get to work

    For bills would soon be due.

    So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,

    And jump up off my knees.

    My Christian duty was now done

    My soul could reach at ease...

    All day long I had no time

    To spread a word of cheer

    No time to speak of Christ to friends,

    They'd laugh at me I fear.

    No time, no time, too much to do,

    That was my constant cry,

    No time to give the souls in need

    But at last the time, the time to die.

    I went before the Lord,

    I came, I stood with downcast eyes.

    For in his hands God! held a book;

    It was the Book Of Life.

    God looked into his book and said

    'Your name I cannot find

    I once was going to write it down...

    But never found the time'

  • Stimulus Payment info.,funny or not. Has anyone seen this before?

    "This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment". This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using a Q and A format:

    Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?

    A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

    Q.Where will the government get this money?

    A. From taxpayers.

    Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?

    A. Only a smidgen.

    Q. What is the purpose of this payment?

    A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high deffinition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

    Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China?

    A. Shut up.

    Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely;

    If you spend that money at Walmart, it will go to China.

    If you spend it on gasoline, it will go to the Arabs.

    If you purchase a computer, it will go to India. If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Central America (unless you buy organic)

    If you buy a car it will go to Japan.

    If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.

    And none of it will help the economy.

    We need to keep that money here in America by spending it at yard sales, going to baseball game, or spend it on to p***titutes, beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US!

  • What is the big difference between the Decanates and Cusps and what makes you think has the biggest influence?

    Each Astrological sign is divided into three parts, and each parts called Decanates or Decan. The Greek word dekanoi meaning "10 days apart". Each decanates represents a Costellation with the primary ruler and subruler.

    Example for Sagittarrius:

    1st Decanates (Nov 22-Dec1

    Keyword: Honesty

    Constellation: Ophiuchus, the Serpent-Holder.

    Planetary ruler/subruler: Jupiter

    2nd Decanates: Dec2-Dec11

    Keyword:Drive

    Constellation:Sagitta, the Arrow that killed the eagle.

    Planetary Ruler: Jupiter/subruler- Mars

    3rd Decanates Dec12-Dec21

    Key word: Intuition

    Constellation:Ara, the Altar of Dionysus

    Planetary Ruler: Jupiter/subruler- Sun

    Cusp- is the point at which a new Astrological begins, ie Cusp of Sagittarius. When someone is being "born on the cusp" he or she is referring to a birth time at or near the beginning or the end of an Astrological sign as the (example shown below under Sag. sign)...

    The Cusps of Sagittarius

    1) Born Nov 22 through Nov 26: You are Sagittarius with Scorpio tendencies.

    2) Born Dec 17 through Dec 21: You are Sagittarius with Capricorn tendencies.

    Now based on the Decanates and Cusps of this Sun, what makes you think has the biggest influence in your personality? The Decanates or Cusps? Please explain. thank you..

  • April's birthstone: The diamond. What color is the rarest of them all?

    Natural color diamonds are extremely rare that for every one natural color there are 10,000 colorless ones that made the trip to the earths surface...

    *Yellow diamonds - are caused by the presence of nitrogen and shade range from very light to vivid canary yellow.

    *Blue diamods- the presence of boron will give a blue shade to diamond ranging from deep to blue sky.

    *Pink diamonds- are created when tremendous pressure abnormally compresses the diamond structure during its formation in the earth..

    Other natural colors include brown,purple,green and orange, but what is the rarest?-so rare in nature that most jewelers and diamond dealers have never seen a natural one before???

  • This joke,funny or not?

    When our second child was on the way, my wife and I attended a pre-birth class aimed at couples who already had at least one child.

    The instructor raised the issue of breaking the news to older child. It went like this:

    "Some parents," she said, "tell the older child, 'We love you so much we decided to bring another child into this family.' But think about that. Ladies,what if your husband came home one day and said, "Honey, I love you so much I decided to bring another wife."

    One of the woman spoke up immediately. "Does she cook???"

  • Manager Advice, funny or not?

    A new manager spends a week at his new office with the manager he is replacing. On the last day the departing manager tells him, "I have left three numbered envelopes in the desk drawer.Open an envelope if you encounter a crisis you can't solve."

    Three months down the track there is major drama, everything goes wrong-the usual stuff and the manager feels very threatened by it all.

    He remembers the parting words of his predecessor and opens the first envelope. The message inside says "Blame your predecessor!" He does this and gets off the hook.

    About half a year later, the company is experiencing a dip sales, combined with serious products problems. The manager quickly opens the second envelope. The message read,"Reorganize" This he does,and the company quickly rebounds.

    Three months later, at his next crisis, he opens the third envelope. the message inside says, "Prepare three envelopes"
