LIFE

Summary of Life

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats..

2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.

3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.

4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.

5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.

6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.

7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.

8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.

9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.

10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap..

GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.

2) Wrinkles don't hurt.

3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts

4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground..

5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.

6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.



GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional..

2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.

3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.

4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician

7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.


THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

1) You believe in Santa Claus.

2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.

3) You are Santa Claus.

4) You look like Santa Claus.

SUCCESS:

At age 4 success is . . . . not piddling in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . .. having friends.
At age 17 success is . . having a driver's license.
At age 35 success is . . . .having money.
At age 50 success is . . having money.
At age 70 success is . . ... having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is . . . having friends.
At age 80 success is . . . not piddling in your pants.



Pass this on to someone who could use a laugh.

Always remember to forget the troubles that pass your way;
BUT NEVER forget the blessings that come each day.


Have a wonderful day with many *smiles*


Take the time to live!!!
Life is too short.

A short time after her eye surgery, we are at Perkins Rest. to eat breakfast/lunch. As you can see, she is doing quite well. It was an 8:30AM surgery that happened about 10:30AM. Less than 5 mins actual surgery time...

Great Grandma had other eye surgery this

LAST WEEK TO GET YOUR TICKETS FOR 10TH ANNUAL DWIGHT BOECKMAN FESTIVAL IN OKEENE, OKLAHOMA ON AUGUST 1ST! NO JUSTICE CONCERT PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE PARALYSIS FOUNDATION AND THE MIAMI PROJECT! For immediate release: Contact: Brandy Reed (615) 830-3508 Nashville, TN-Saturday, August 1, 2009 marks the 10th Annual Dwight Boeckman Festival at the Okeene Baseball Field in Okeene, OK. The festival is an all-day, all-ages event featuring a headlining performance by Red-dirt rockers and Oklahoma natives No Justice. Other performances include Johnny Cooper, the Bart Crow Band, Clint Osmus & The Bushmills, Rich O’Toole, Mama Sweet, and many more. This event is all ages. Gates open at 4:00 PM. Free food with admission. Tickets are $20 through July 31st and $30 day of event. The event is held every year in honor of Dwight Boeckman who, in July 2000 at just 22 years old, suffered a spinal cord injury in a diving accident which resulted in paralysis from the chest down. The festival was originally created to help Dwight and his family with medical expenses, but by 2005 had surpassed Dwight’s needs and thus shifted its focus towards helping others. Tragically, Dwight was killed in an automobile accident in fall 2005, but the festival continues to honor his legacy and his dream to raise funds which will assist with research on spinal cord injury paralysis. Proceeds from this year’s benefit will go to The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation and The Miami Project – a paralysis research facility in Florida that Dwight attended. The hope is to eventually find a cure. Dwight Boeckman was born and raised in and around the community of Okeene where the festival is still held today. Thanks to the endless support of family and friends, Dwight was able to give back to the community who had been so very generous to him during the most challenging years of his life. Before he passed, Dwight was able to help leave his mark by establishing the “Challenge of Life” scholarship, which is awarded to a student graduating with high honors who has found time to make a difference while making the grade.

Diller Calls Free Web Content a ‘Myth, Joins Refrain (click to read full version)

July 24 (Bloomberg) -- Barry Diller, chairman and chief executive officer ofIAC/InterActiveCorp, said Web users will have to pay for what they watch and use, joining the refrain of media moguls who say an era of free Internet content is ending.

The media and technology executive, whose company runs the Ask.com search engine and the Match.com dating service, said it’s “mythology” to view the Internet as a system of free communications.

“It is not free, and is not going to be,” Diller said today at the Fortune Brainstorm conference in Pasadena, California. In addition to IAC, he is chairman of Expedia Inc., the online travel service, and Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc.

Diller, 67, joined a group of media chiefs, from Liberty Media Corp.’s John Malone to Walt Disney Co. CEO Robert Iger, who are challenging the accepted model that consumers pay for Internet access and then content is free. Diller predicted there will be three revenue streams: advertising, subscriptions and transactions.

Disney, the world’s biggest media company, is developing a subscription-based product for the Internet, Iger said on July 22 at the conference.

Tim Geithner Can't Sell His House, Either

After a Price Drop, the Treasury Secretary Decides to Rent His House and He's Not Alone

What... Mentally ret..... I have not heard that term in 25 years or more...

The proposed health-insurance bill from the House of Representatives refers to mentally disabled people as "retarded" -- a term advocates, relatives and physicians find outdated and offensive.

The bill refers to: "A hospital or a nursing facility or intermediate-care facility for the mentally retarded . . ."

The phrase could cause more problems with groups for the developmentally disabled, who were angered when President Obama referred to his poor bowling skills on "The Tonight Show" as "like the Special Olympics." Obama later apologized.

30 year old term in the bill... along with lots of crap that's been tried and failed... and things we have done that did not work... stinkin' thinkin' by one of America's brightest??? or dumbest???

Obamacare vs our healthcare

Conversation with Blogger.com stanpcl.stan
Me (7:36 AM):
Ok kiddos...
The correct numbers on healthcare
The new plan only insures 7% more than already have insurance. Rate covered goes from 90% to 97%. In USA, instead of 50 million uninsured, the correct number is 18 million. The higher is for those moving jobs or changing companies, the later is those who never buy! Also please note the 2...2 trillion dollar cost to cover those 18 MILLION... About 100,000 dollars a person... Mine cost about 4000 a year, so 96,000 less without government HELP.
Also under new plan, if you get caught without insurance, fine of 2500 is what it will cost you.
Also, if you change jobs, companys, quit to start own company under new bill today, you can not get keep your PRIVATE insurance plan. You will be forced to get government insurance ONLY.
Even the President, that I did NOT vote for, has not a clue what is in it and stated this to the world last night in interview showed on fox this am.
Also, you might use your phone as much as possible as your right to free speech is coming under many hits under this group of (your choice of words here) and worship in your churchs as you may not be able to soon the way this group of ... Is attacking our freedom to worship, and gun ownership.
