When love fades………….
Last night I was sitting on the sofa watching TV when I heard my wife’s voice from the kitchen.
“What would you like for dinner my Love?… Chicken, beef or lamb?”
I said, “Thank you dear, I’ll have chicken.”
She replied “You’re having soup, stupid, I was talking to the dog.”
Quote of the day
Quote of the day:
‘Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.’
ROSES & HANGING BASKETS

A teenage granddaughter
comes downstairs for her date
with this see-through blouse on and no bra.
Her grandmother just pitched a fit,
telling her not to dare go out like that!
The teenager tells her
‘Loosen up Grams.
These are modern times.
You gotta let your rose buds show!’
and out she goes.
The next day the teenager comes down stairs,
and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on.
The teenager wants to die.
She explains to her grandmother
that she has friends coming over
and that it is just not appropriate…..
The grandmother says,
‘Loosen up,
Sweetie.
If you can show off your rose buds,
then I can display my hanging baskets.

Her last call
Her last call was from a cell phone…..
Sometimes only a picture can get our attention!
Do you see the motorcycle?
Do you see the motorcycle?
Now do you see it?
The Honda crotch rocket rider was traveling at approximately
85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she
pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the
motorcycle. The riders reaction time was not sufficient
enough to avoid this accident.
The car had two passengers
and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them.
The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact
and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.
All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were
killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at
the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Department..
Pass this on to car drivers or soon to be
new drivers, or new motorcycle owners
AND ESPECIALLY EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS A CELL
PHONE!!!!!
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Save a life…
Stop talking on Cell phones and Texting while trying to drive.
The life you save may be your own….. or mine…
Keep passing this on so everyone will see what can happen by using a
CELL PHONE while driving
How to Dance in the Rain
How to Dance in the Rain
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80’s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.
I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.While taking care of his wound, I a sked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer’s Disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him, ‘And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?’ ‘That is the kind of love I want in my life.’but how to dance in the rain.’He smiled as he patted my hand and said,
‘She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.’
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought,
True love is neither physical, nor romantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message. This one I thought I could share with you.
The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have. I hope you share this with someone you care about. I just did.
‘Life isn’t about how to survive the storm,
Dear Cats & Dogs
Dear Dogs and Cats:
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years – and canine/feline attendance is not required.
The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat’s butt. I cannot stress this enough.
Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:
(1) They live here.You don’t.
(2) If you don’t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That’s why they call it ‘fur’-niture.
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don’t speak clearly.
Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they;
(1) eat less,
(2) don’t ask for money all the time,
(3) are easier to train,
(4) normally come when called,
(5) never ask to drive the car,
(6) don’t hang out with drug-using people,
(7) don’t smoke or drink,
(8) don’t want to wear your clothes,
(9) don’t have to buy the latest fashions,
(10) don’t need a gazillion dollars for college and
(11) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

Two Friends
TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE DESERT.
DURING SOME POINT OF THE JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE.
THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPEDWAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING, WROTE IN THE SAND:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.
THEY KEPT ON WALKING, UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH
THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE ! AND STARTED DROWNING, BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.
AFTER ! HE RECOVERED FROM THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:
‘TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE ‘.
THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM, ‘AFTER I HURT YOU, YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?’
THE FRIEND REPLIED ‘WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.
BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT.’
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.
THEY SAY IT TAKES A MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL PERSON,
AN HOUR TO APPRECIATE THEM,
A DAY TO LOVE THEM,
AND AN ENTIRE LIFE TO FORGET THEM.
What does a 320 pound woman….
The question is, What does a 320 pound woman look like?
Now, before you scroll down to look at her pictures, get a mental image of what you think a woman who weighs 320 looks like….
Not exactly what you were expecting, is it??!!
The tallest and best proportioned woman in the world lives in Holland .
She is 7’4′ and weighs 320
Whata relief! Now we ALL know we aren’t overweight; we’re just too short!
Have A Great Day!
PRICELESS
Things happen, …. Enjoy the day while you have the chance.
Priceless… The pictures speak for themselves!
God’s Wings
A little something to put things in perspective…
After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers
began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno’s damage.
One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched
sta tuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat
sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.
When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under
their dead mother’s wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of
impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the
tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing
that the toxic smoke would rise.
She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her
babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her
small body, the mother had remained steadfast because she had
been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.
‘He will cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you will find refuge.’
(Psalm 91:4)
Being loved this much should make a difference i n your life.
Remember the One who loves you, and then be different because of it.
Please pass this on to people you want to be blessed.
Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will
treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.
To realize the value of a friend… lose one.
Pick a Cake!

After Open Heart Surgery
Daddy is home!
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes.
Prayers Needed Please-Thanks!
Good Morning Everyone!
(as it is 8:00am +/- here!)
As the ‘Tropical Storm Fay’ will be approaching – I’ll get this
out before the threat of losing power.
During this storm period …
Tomorrow – Wednesday – August 20th-is when Mom & I will go with Daddy to the hospital for Pre-Op.
We are to be there at 10am and when they called yesterday – Daddy said they told him we would be there for about 2 hours – taking all the necessary test – and would also be showing a video of what will be happening.
Then—on Thursday-August 21st-is when the Open Heart Surgery will take place with our arrival at the hospital to be at 5:30am — with the surgery scheduled for 7:30am. The brochure stated that the surgery would take 4-6 hours – but I do not know how many procedures that was talking about. With Daddy having the replacement and three by-passes – I would think that the time would perhaps be longer. (When the hospital ‘nurse person’ who called about the Pre-Op stuff told Daddy it would be 2-3 hours…I don’t think that nurse knows!)
While it will be a very long and trying time for us … we are strong and will get through this. Just please keep us in your prayers — especially Daddy.
We could lose whatever with the storm – but Daddy will be safe in the hospital and that is what is most important.
So get those prayers ready and continue to keep Daddy in your prayers and thoughts. We always need prayers – sharing love.
I will let you know just as soon as I can.
Love to you all!

Prayers for My Dad – Mom & Me
Daddy had the Cardiologists Doctor appt Wednesday July 23 and of course Mom & I went.
The Dr. is Ben Olliff who has been Mom & Dad’s doc for years. (was a general doc then cardo). Anyway…GLAD that Mom & I went because Dad I don’t think understood everything he was telling
him.
From everything I heard the blockages are 40 – 70 – 60 & 90 … Now, that may be different
from what he Cath Doc said … but still VERY serious. Daddy did not understand that they will
need to do a replacement on the MAIN one the Aorta .. and at least two by-passes. But with the
blockages mentioned … there might be more. It will be a very difficult time for Mother and ME….what will we do?
So Dr Olliff – took us to his scheduling Nurse .. she mae the call to the Surgeons office – a Dr. Wingard )I think that is correct?) and made appt for the 19th of August … Now…just imagine what
my face looked like to Dr Olliff’s Nurse!>? … Like you’ve Got – to – be – kidding?!… then she said that
Dr Wingard nurse said the Doc was On Vacation .. and would be back on Monday (Tomorrow) the 29 of July .. and she would put the information in front of him (because Dr. Olliff’s Nurse faxed the reports over) and would see what Dr Wingard thought thought on Monday!
So tomorrow – Monday – July 28th is the day when Mom & I hope that the Doc will call and get
things rolling. The sooner the better. Daddy you know hates to sit and do nothing so just these few
days doing nothing is wearing on him. Even though he is not talking about it .. you can certainly see
it in is face and eyes.
Daddy is also having a very hard time walking. His legs especially his right does not want to hold
up at all … and I think that could be a problem.
A Nurse neighbor – asked if they had given him the stress test – I told her no – (that he probably would not make it through that) … and she also wanted to know if he had had a doppler … which he has had about 4 months ago. (that reminds me … while we were with Dr Olliff’s scheduling nurse on the phone with the surgeons nurse .. THEY wanted to know why this was not done at the time
when he was in the hospital for the cath ??? Mom & I ha no answer … and Daddy none either –
so we don’t know if they even mentioned it to daddy at the time)
I also hear Dr Olliff mention in the exam room when he was telling us all this .. (to daddy he was talking) that he had put it off for 6 months) … Mother did not hear it .. and Dad made no comment – which he probably did not hear!
So with all of this said – I hope you can understand how serious it really is .. I’m so scared…but
cannot let him know because I do not want him getting upset .. that would do him NO good!
So positive thoughts … Lots of prayers …
Deborah
Balloons & My Heart
‘Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.’
A sharp tongue can cut my own throat.
If I want my dreams to come true, I mustn’t oversleep.
Of all the things I wear, my expression is the most important.
The best vitamin for making friends…. B1.
The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts.
The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.
One thing I can give and still keep…is my word.
I lie the loudest when I lie to myself.
If I lack the courage to start, I have already finished.
One thing I can’t recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won’t work unless I do.
My mind is like a parachute…it functions only when open.
The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime!
It is never too late to become what I might have been.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one’s who don’t.
Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we’ve let t! hem fly away.
Sometimes we are so caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong
that we forget what’s right and wrong.
Sometimes we just don’t realize what real friendship means
until it is too late. I don’t want to let that happen so I’m gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

Harry Truman
When President Truman retired from office in 1952, his income was
substantially a United States Army pension, reported to have been
$13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting he was paying for stamps and
personally licking them, granted him an ‘allowance,’ and later, a
retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.
When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined,
stating, ‘You don’t want me. You want the office of the president,
and that doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to the American people,
and it’s not for sale.’ Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress
was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday,
he refused to accept it, writing, ‘I don’t consider that I have
done anything which should be the reason for any award,
Congressional or otherwise.’
We now see others who have found a new level of success in cashing
in on the presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in
Congress also become wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their
offices. Political offices are now for sale.
Good old Harry made the following observation, ‘My choice early in
life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a
politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference.
I, for one, believe the piano player job to be much more honorable
than current politicians.’

God’s handiwork. Beautiful sight! Pass along for others to see!!
God’s Pharmacy!
A friend sent this to me. It’s been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish… all before making a human. He made and provided what we’d need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We’re such slow learners…
God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God’s Pharmacy! Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye.. and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes h ang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the he alth and function of the womb and cervix of the female – they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of n utrition in each one of these foods (mo dern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
Oranges, Grapefr uits, and oth er Citrus fruits look just l ike the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body’s cells. Today’s research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
Gota Love Kids!

(Sing It!)-If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts ,and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pad s and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin’,
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin’,
And we won’t mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ac he, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I’ve had,
And then I don’t feel so bad.

YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT*77
This was sent to me from a relative and thought you just might
need to know!
________________________
YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT*77
I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *77. It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren’s parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.
Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called *77 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren’t, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.
I never knew about the *77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe &quiet place. You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them (i.e. put on your hazard lights) or call *77 like Lauren did.
Too bad the cell phone companies don’t generally give you this little bit of wonderful information.
*Speaking to a service representative at
** Bell** Mobility confirmed that *77 was a direct link to state trooper info. So, now it’s your turn to let your fr iends know about *77.
Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life.This applies to ALL 50 states.

SPAGHETTI… …
A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several
years. One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in

Italy to secretly have the child.
If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide
child support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To
keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and
write “Spaghetti” on the back. He would then arrange for child
support payments to begin.
One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.
His wife said, “Honey, you received a very strange post card today.”
“Oh, just give it to me and I’ll explain it,” he said. The wife
handed him the card, and watched as her husband read the card,
turned white and collapsed.
On the card was written: “Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with
meatballs, one without! Request bread…
