A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get it started."

Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"

The blonde says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger."

Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle.

She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.

He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going tobe able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger."

He takes her hand and says, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then ..." He sighed ................ "Let's put all of the Frosted Flakes back in the box

Triple Play Day
This was my triple play I did today:1) Albertsons has select Kellogg's cereals 50% off, making them $1.99 - $2.34.

2) I printed ten $1 Kelloggs coupons here (you can print the whole list twice)3) I bought 10 boxes for about $13 after coupons.

4) I earned two free Star Trek movie tickets which printed at checkout. ( I believe this is the last day it will print)

Your wife decides to go out with her friends on a girls night out dancing....

You're okay with it, because you get to watch sports all night....

You hear her stumble into bed around 4am and laugh knowing she's going to have a monster hangover....

You wake up next morning and go outside to the family Volvo, which she used last night...

You sigh in relief because it's all in one piece....

You circle the car looking for dents and find none....

But then wait a minute....

A picture is worth a thousand words....

HOW MANY ZEROS IN A BILLION

How many zeros in a billion??? Good shit…

This is too true to be funny.

The next time you hear a politician use the

word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about

whether you want the 'politicians' spending

YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,

but one advertising agency did a good job of

putting that figure into some perspective in

one of it's releases.
A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B.

A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were

living in the Stone Age.

D.

A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E.

A billion dollars ago was only

8 hours and 20 minutes,

at the rate our government

is spending it.


While this thought is still fresh in our brain...

let's take a look at New Orleans ...

It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.


Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)

is presently asking Congress for

250 BILLION DOLLARS

to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...

what does it mean?



A.

Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans

(every man, woman, and child)

you each get $516,528.


B.

Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in

New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.


C.

Or... if you are a family of four,

your family gets $2,066,012.

"Happy Mail" Wanted!
Children fighting for their lives have very little to smile about. You can change that by sending them some "Happy Mail." Cheery cards give these kids a few more smiles, a little more hope, and a reason to get out of bed each day.
Experience the satisfaction of making a sick child's day and giving them something to look forward to. Send a card and a hug -- one of the smiles you create just might be your own!

A Tennessee Woman is in the Welfare Office Filling out Forms

Funny !!
A Tennessee woman is in the welfare office filling out forms.
The welfare officer asks her how many children she has?
"Ten boys."
"And their names?"
Leroy, Leroy, Leroy, Leroy, Leroy, Leroy, Leroy, Leroy, Leroy, and Leroy."
All named Leroy? Why would you name them all Leroy?"
"That way, when I wants them all to come in from the yard, I
just yells 'LEROY!', and when I wants them all to come to
dinner, I just yells 'LEROY!'"
"What if you just want a particular one of them to do something?"
"Then I calls him by his last name."

Hello FABULOUS Woman! You have been hit. You have been considered one of the 10 MOST FABULOUS women with warm loving hearts on my friends list. Once you have been hit, you have to hit 10 FABULOUS women. If you get hit again you know you're really FABULOUS.

IF I HAD MY CHILD TO RAISE OVER AGAIN...

I would finger paint more, and point my finger less.

I would do less correcting, and do more connecting.

I would take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.

I would care to know less, and know to care more.

I would take more hikes, and fly more kites.

I would stop being serious, and seriously play.

I would run through more fields, and gaze at more stars.

I would do more hugging, and much less tugging

I would disagree less often, and be agreeable much more.

I would build self-esteem first, then build a house later.

I would teach less about the love of power, and more about the power of love.

Every day is a blessed day, done over and over in every way.

Only because they grow up so fast, days soon to be in the past.

So you see... if I had my child to raise over again.

HISTORY HAS A WAY OF REPEATING ITSELF

... The little black girl who had to be escorted to school by federal marshals. "On November 14, 1960, nearly 48 years ago, Bridges faced hostile crowds as the first black child to attend a previously all-white New Orleans school. She was 6 years old and had only been told by her mother that she was going to be attending a new school that day and 'had better behave.' Little did she know that she would be bombarded with jeers and even death threats, and that she would end up being the sole child in her first grade class after other children were kept home by their parents." All because Ruby was Black.

Forty-eight years later -- January 5, 2009 -- here is a picture of Sasha Obama, a little 7 year old Black girl, being escorted to school by her mother, First Lady-elect Michelle Obama, and the Secret Service because Sasha's daddy is now President-elect of the United States.

17. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

6.. If at first you don't succeed...... skydiving is not for you.
5. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt or a leaky tire.
4. It's always darkest before dawn , so if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
3. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

Making Your New Year's Resolutions Really Work!!

New Year's resolutions are slightly out of favor -- airily dismissed as a waste of time, given their high failure rate. But there remains something compelling about the onset of a brand new year for reflecting on changes that would improve your life. Still, local gyms are filled with well-intended, out-of-shape people in early January who nearly all go missing by early February, an interesting example of how challenging this whole resolution business is. To provide advice on ways to make resolutions that will actually come to fruition, I called regular Daily Health News contributor and life coach, Lauren Zander, founder of the Handel Group.
Lauren has lost none of her enthusiasm about the potential of New Year's resolutions. She says that everyone has the capacity to make them a success. The way to start -- preferably a number of days before the end of the year -- is to think about the successful changes you have made in the past, perhaps relocating, getting a new job or patching up a failing relationship. By examining past achievements, you can unearth what in these experiences brought about success. Almost always it comes down to the fact that you made it happen because it was something you really, really wanted, says Lauren... and this is what you need to keep in mind as you prepare possible resolutions today. Don't think about what you should do -- plan instead to fill your list with what you really want -- changes that give you a sense of excitement and wonder. Differentiate between a Should and a Wish, advises Lauren. "A should brings up a sense of dread while a wish is more like the feeling of, 'wow, I wish I could have that... do you think I could?' "

WISHES FOR YOUR 2009 LIST
To start your list, note the important areas in your life -- your health, body, relationships, family and finances, possibly home improvement, travel and the like. Jot down possible ideas for each of these areas, whatever strikes you as interesting, such as bringing more romance into your relationship, going on a far-away vacation, running a marathon or learning a new language. (Lauren recalls how her mother once resolved to have more parties and so she came up with a list of theme dinners -- and hosted one each month.) It takes time and creativity to make such a list, so don't rush it... just keep adding your thoughts as they come to you. Then on New Year's Day you can sit with your ideas and determine which are most important and matter most to you. These are the ones you can think about achieving this year.
Review the finalists on your list by plotting out what it would take to make them successful. Consider selecting ones that are out of the ordinary for you, ideas that excite and please you, but also are attainable. For example, say you want to take a fabulous trip with your sister, maybe go to Fiji, but neither of you can afford it this year. You can scrap your idea completely or you can settle for something still exotic but closer to home, perhaps Puerto Rico or a Caribbean island. Or, Lauren says, you might put the trip on a future list but start planning on how to achieve it now... don't let go of your big dreams.
THE DREADED "SHOULDS"
Wishes are challenging but also fun. Shoulds, on the other hand, are really hard and not a lot of fun. Nevertheless, many people have a Should to resolve that crops up annually as the new year approaches. Lauren affirms how hard it is to break a bad habit (and aren't they usually the basis of a Should?), while also pointing out that there are ways to greatly increase your chance of success for those challenges that you really should face.
First, acknowledge how attached you are to the bad habit and why you would really like to hold on to it, whether it is the pleasure of savoring a cigarette with coffee or drinking several glasses of wine in the evening to relax... or the instant gratification of snacking on cupcakes and ice cream... whatever it is. To confront the hold a bad habit has on you, you must admit how you really feel about it. Doing so makes it possible for you to face honestly what you are going to give up. The next step may sound odd, but it will change the paradigm you have about a bad habit, which is what it takes to open the door to success. Here it is: Turn your Should into a Wish by finding some aspect of your habit that makes the thought of continuing it intolerable. For instance, instead of considering cigarettes a treat that brings you pleasure, visualize them as sharp nails in your coffin. Lauren herself is a former smoker. Her definitive decision to quit came as she was rummaging in her purse for a cigarette and saw someone scavenging on the sidewalk reaching for a used butt. "I realized at that moment he and I were the same -- losers -- and it horrified me," she recalls.
To heighten your chances of succeeding with your resolutions this year, be sure to tell lots of people what you are doing. You could even find someone with the same or similar resolutions to be a change-buddy with -- you can support one another as you go through the process. But choose carefully -- find people who have been successful at making change themselves. Like company will make you strong... similarly, pairing up with those who fail puts you at risk for failure.
Interestingly, the very act of deciding on a resolution and making it a priority increases the energy you bring to it, says Lauren. "Change isn't that difficult," she adds. "It takes effort, of course, but once you start making the effort, it stops feeling so hard."

George W. Bush.
The term Bushism is a neologism that refers to a number of peculiar words, phrases, pronunciations, malapropisms and semantic or linguistic errors that have occurred in the public speaking of United States President George W. Bush and, before that, of his father, George H. W. Bush, a former United States president.[1][2] The term has become part of popular folklore and is the basis of a number of websites and published books. It is often used to caricature the two presidents. Common characteristics include malapropisms, the creation of neologisms, and spoonerisms.
The Bushs' frequent misuse of the English language in formal and public speeches has spawned dozens of books that document the phenomenon. The majority are written by Slate magazine editor Jacob Weisberg. The first, Bushisms, was released in 2002. The Bushism books have been received well around the world, with editions released in Germany, France, and Italy landing on best seller lists.[3] A poem entitled Make the Pie Higher, composed entirely of Bushisms, was compiled by high school English teacher Dirk Schulze under the pseudonym of Richard Thompson, as an example of a found poem for his students.[4]

[edit] Notable statements
"Maybe the greatest expression of his befuddlement was something he said when asked to respond to an article by the writer Gail Sheehy claiming he was an undiagnosed dyslexic. 'The woman who knew that I had dyslexia — I never interviewed her.'" -Jacob Weisberg [5]
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream." —LaCrosse, Wis., Oct. 18, 2000
"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." —Greater Nashua, N.H., Jan. 27, 2000
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." —Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 29, 2000
"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?" —Florence, S.C., Jan. 11, 2000
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." —Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004
"I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But I'm the decider, and I decide what is best." --Washington, D.C., Apr. 18, 2006
"They misunderestimated me." —Bentonville, Ark., Nov. 6, 2000
"Poor people aren't necessarily killers." —Washington, D.C., May 19, 2003

GIFT OF GIVING JOY Category: Religion and Philosophy
GIFT OF GIVING JOY
Many of us learned anger at the hands of our parents and elders. Not anger as a tool to teach when a child does something inappropriate, but anger at their lives, anger at their situations, anger at God. Unknowingly, many of us took that very anger into our own experience. Our parents and elders weren't always equipped to teach us anything other than what they learned.
The Good News of God is that we can unlearn the anger of our past, and learn the love of our Lord. We can heal from the anger that we've carried for so very long, and instead bestow upon our children the gift of giving joy. Let's not pass along the sins of our elders to the next generation. Become a parent who turns it around.

Your Promise to God: I turn away from any anger that I inherited and turn it around to the peace of God in my life, and in the life of my family.

I am working on that anger issue passed down to me by "Good Ole Mom" amongst others. (sorry if this makes you mad, or should I say Madder Mom, but maybe it will help) I just went on a rampage of anger and I realize I hurt a lot of people with my words. People from my boyfriend to my Mom and everyone in between who happened to look at me funny in my 2-3 days of 'Setting My Boundaries.' Thanks goes to Vera, (my counselor)who handed me a pamphlet on 'Boundaries.' I took it and ran with it. I said 'you aint gone do this to me anymore, you aint gone do that to me anymore!!' 'You just wanna push all my buttons cuz you Mr. Right and I'm Mrs. Wrong. Right now I'm the one who's gone sing this song. I'm a be Ms. Wright TODAY!!!! (MJB)There was even a couple of fist fights, two that I can remember. Counselor wanted to put me away. I said please do before I.......Instead she gave me a new medication. Seroquel 25 mg. It's supposed to stop the psychosis. We will see. Hope I can live with the side effects, if any...

The song I put on when I'm haven me one of them days where I just don't wanna be bothered is Mary J. Blidge's "Roses." I'll put that mug on repeat, put my headphones on and just 'Let it Go.' By the end of the song the tears come.. Love you MJB

Just Because He's Black

A white man asked his black friend, 'Are you voting for Barack Obama just because he's black?'The black man responded by saying, 'Why not? Hell, in this country men are pulled over everyday just cause they're black; passed over for promotions just cause they're black; considered to be criminals justcause they're black; and there are going to be thousands of you who won't be voting for him just because he's black! However, you do not seem to have a problem with that! This country was built with the sweatand whip off the black slaves' back, and now a descendent of those same slaves has a chance to lead the same country, where we weren't even considered to be people, where we weren't allowed to be educated, drink from the same water fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or even vote. So yes! I'm going to vote for him! But it's not just because he's black, but because he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to understand when my grandson says that he wants to be president when he grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal. He now sees,understands and knows that he can achieve, withstand and do
ANYTHING just because he's black!'

Sarah Palin is using the word terrorism against Obama??

What part of the game is that??
