WOMAN’S PERFECT BREAKFAST
She’s sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.

Keep reading-they get better!!!



WOMEN’S REVENGE

‘Cash, check or charge?’ I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. ‘So, do you always carry your TV remote?’ I asked.
‘No,’ she replied, ‘but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.’


UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN’S PERSPECTIVE)

I know I’m not going to understand women.
I’ll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.


CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles.
The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.
He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
She directs him down the correct aisle.
A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, ‘Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
He answers, ‘You see, it’s like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it’s sooooooooooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own ………. so does she.’
(I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!)


WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked arcastically, ‘Relatives of yours?’
‘Yep,’ the wife replied, ‘in-laws.’


WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day. 30,000 to a man’s 15,000.
The wife replied, ‘The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men…’
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, ‘What?’


CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, ‘I don’t know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
‘The wife responded, ‘Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!’


WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, ‘You should do it because you get up first, and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee. The husband said, ‘You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.’
Wife replies, ‘No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.’
Husband replies, ‘I can’t believe that, show me.’
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says: ‘HEBREWS’


The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him
at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
‘Please wake me at 5:00 AM.’ He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn’t wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, ‘It is 5:00 AM. Wake up!
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.


God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece

>Once Again

>I have stayed up too late. After not sleeping well last night and missing the book study this morning.

Em, Gwen and I went out today. She wanted her hair done. So Gwen and I dropped her off and went to Macy’s to make an appointment to get a makeover for Gwen. Yes, she has decided to start wearing makeup. Em put some on her last Wednesday and she liked how she looked. So she had her makeup done. Then she decided she needed a new top to go with her new look, and she picked out a red top. We are so happy, she looks so good in it. Then we went for lunch, she was so happy she paid for lunch. Unfortunately, I got another migraine, or sinus headache, anyway, I started feeling bad and nauseous and my sinuses were hurting and discharging dark brown mucus.

After we got home I didn’t do much else besides sit in my room and play with my blog. Well, I did lie down and sleep for a while.

Cookie sent me an e-mail with some sad news, very sad, but not unexpected. Now I have to go to bed. Gwen wants to go to Fishkill’s meeting tomorrow, to show off her new look to someone there.

>Reality

>Reality is just like a dream, you try to control it and you have no control, you try to guide it and it ends up taking you out,
The only break we get from reality is our dreams. They keep us sane, they keep us loving, they keep us living.
The breaks from dreaming are never as pleasant,
You can’t break away from it, no matter how hard you try, you can’t make it better, without giving up dignity, and the lovers of today rarely last til’ tomorrow.
But we will outlast them, we will break away from reality, and make a world full of peace, and care for it always,
What’s sad to realize is that it will never be real, no matter how hard we try, it can never come out of our head, filled with hopes and love, but still, no power to change this horrible world.

>The Cost of Bottled Water

>Tap water is a tremendous value for families and communities, typically costing less than half a penny per gallon. Bottled water is often an important and convenient choice for consumers and the traveling public but it certainly has its costs.

Consumers should know about the carbon footprint and environmental impacts of bottled water. It takes a lot of energy to manufacture, transport, and store bottled water. Experts estimate the plastic bottle manufacturing process alone consumes 17 million barrels of oil a year.

Street litter and marine debris are costly concerns, as well. Marine debris is a major pollution problem affecting the world’s oceans, coasts, and watersheds. Although impacts may be more visible at the local beach; marine debris is a national and international problem. Anything can become marine debris. Extremely light-weight items, like plastic bottles, are more likely to become marine debris than heavier items because they can easily be carried by wind from one location to another.

Think globally and drink locally. Tap into the savings and recycle for the streams’ sake.

>With the month of November in full swing, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is asking for your help in creating awareness about the leading cancer killer of both American men and women.

Based on well-documented associations between workplace exposures and cancer, it is estimated that 20,000 people die each year from different types of cancer that can be attributed to exposure in the workplace. Here are some ways the CDC suggests that you can help raise awareness not just about lung cancer but all types of cancer:

• Talk. This is the easiest way to help. Talk with your friends, neighbors and colleagues. Let them know about cancer, signs for early detection and the importance of yearly exams with your doctor.

• Write. Send a letter, e-mail or fax to local legislators and ask them to increase funding for cancer research.

• Get Involved. Participate in a cancer-awareness event in your area or provide educational material to your local hospital, clinic or health fair.

• Purchase cancer awareness materials that contribute proceeds to charities or organizations that help with cancer awareness or research.

For more information on Lung Cancer Awareness Month, visit the CDC Web site.

>Mini Pigs

>These are Pennywell miniature pigs raised by Chris Murray in Devon England .. These mini pigs are meant to be pets.

They are a variant of a rare breed from New Zealand . It is suggested that they always be sold in pairs so that they have a companion and someone to snuggle with. They are supposed to be easy to house train and have good temperaments.

WaterSense

New WaterSense Factoid
If every home in the United States installed WaterSense labeled faucets or faucet aerators in the bathrooms, it would save 60 billion gallons of water annually—saving households more than $350 million in water bills and about $600 million in energy costs to heat their water. Additionally, water and waste water utilities would save 200 million kilowatt-hours of electricity normally used for supplying and treating that water. The WaterSense website has a complete list of WaterSense labeled products.

>good morning

>I was going to post last night, don’t remember exactly about what, but remembered I had a survey from J.D. Powers to complete, they even sent me a dollar to do it! So anyway, it had sixty something parts and about a gazillion questions, OK maybe only a bazillion. When I was done I had to go to bed.

I am feeling much better today and I would like to give my thanks to everyone for their well wishes and interest. On another note, as I was heading out the door Stitch said, “I don’t even know what to say about this.” I turned around to look and there was Abigail (the cat) on top of Woodstock’s (the parrot) cage. And Woodstock was not making a sound, I hope he wasn’t dead from a heart attack.

I just got an e-mail with this quote in it:

“A woman is like a tea bag–you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.”
~ Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), United States diplomat and reformer
