Just some fun info

Hi :D First i hope you are all visiting my DH's blog and sharing your views with him! Today he has a WONDERFUL message to share :D
Second, i have some Ponderisms hehe
Can you cry under water?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'.. But it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?
Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?


How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?


Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?


If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?


Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?


Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?


Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.


Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural?


Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?


If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?


Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane ?


If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?




If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?


If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?


If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?


Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?


Why did you just try singing the two songs above?


Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?


Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Aren't they FUN? lol i LOVE silly things like that, NOT that i don't have enough to think on! ROFL

And a final thought:

whale of a tale!

First, Thanks so much for your comments! i really do LOVE reading them and i truly enjoy them!!
Second, most of what i have been posting, came thru emails. here's one i LA LA LOVE!!!!
Photobucket
If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines.

She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farralone Islands (outside the Golden Gate ) and radioed an environmental group for help.

Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her.

a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.

When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed gently around --- she thanked them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
Photobucket
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

May you, and all those you love,
be so blessed and fortunate ..
to be surrounded by people
who will help you get untangled
from the things that are binding you.

And, may you always know the joy
of giving and receiving gratitude.

Third and final thought

Have a BEAUTIFUL day and thank you so very much for your visit!! :D HUGS!

some facts to share

I found this interesting.
Do you know? I didn't know! How could we?
Did you know that 47 countries' have reestablished their embassies in Iraq ?
Did you know that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?
Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools
are under rehabilitation, 263 new schools are now under construction and
38 new schools have been completed in Iraq ?
Did you know that Iraq 's higher educational structure consists
of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, all
currently operating?
Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United
States in January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program?
Did you kno w that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have 5 -
100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.
Did you know that Iraq 's Air Force consists of three
operational squadrons, which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130
transport aircraft (under Iraqi operational control) which operate day
and night, and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?
Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a
Commando Battalion?
Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully
trained and equipped police officers?
Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that
produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?
Did you know there are more than 1100 building projects going on
in Iraq ? They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83
railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69
electrical facilities.
Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have
received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations?
Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in
primary school by mid October?
Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in
Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%?
Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consists of
75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?
Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of
2004?
Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential
election had a televised debate recently?
OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!

WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?
BECAUSE OUR MEDIA DOESN'T TELL US!
Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos
of flag burn ing incidents at Abu Ghraib
and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.

Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq
serves two purposes:

It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United
States thus minimizing consequent support,

and it is intended to discourage American citizens. Much of what
is on TV in our country today would have been thought of as treason
during WWII.


Above facts are all verifiable on the Department of Defense web
site.

cute story & freebie

Hi :D i am not sure if i got this story through emails or found it on the web somewhere but it is definitely worth sharing :D
Starfish
There was once a man who was walking down a deserted beach in a foreign country. As he
slowly walked along, he saw a native of that country coming toward him. As they drew nearer,
the visitor noticed that the local inhabitant would periodically stop, bend over, pick
something up, and then throw it into the ocean.

As they drew closer, the visitor realized that it was a starfish he was picking up and
throwing back into the water. When they were close enough to speak, the visitor asked the
man what he was doing. The local inhabitant responded that when the tide went out, it left
small pools of water which quickly evaporated. In each of those pools were starfish that
quickly died when the water was gone. He explained that when he found such a starfish, he
threw it back into the ocean.

The visitor seemed surprised, and said, “Sir, don’t you realize that, on this beach alone,
there must be thousands of starfish caught like this. You can’t possibly get to all of them.
There are just too many, and besides, this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches
all up and down the coast. With so many starfish, you can’t possibly be making a difference”.
The local citizen looked at the visitor for a moment, bent down, picked up a starfish, and,
throwing it into the ocean, said, “I made a difference to that one”.

i hope you enjoyed that, i sure did! :D
Onto the freebie1 YAYY! hehe
