Forgotten Anniversary

It seems as if George forgot his Anniversary and when he came home to the little lady she was very upset. He asked how he could make up for it. She told him if she found something that went from 0-200 in less than 6 seconds in their driveway the next day everything would be fine. 

The next day she went out to find a bathroom scale sitting in the driveway. As for George we still haven't found him.

I AM A CHRISTIAN

WHEN I SAY I AM A CHRISTIAN

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I was lost!"
That is why I chose this way."

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.

FROM SHARON FRIER-POSHARD

When life is hard and
Payday is still so far away
And when the salary comes it's not enough
there is only one thing to do......

*************************************** 

From George Hatcher: I WAS JUST WONDERING.......

WHEN WILL THIS

 POLITICAL CRAP BE OVER???

*************************************

DID YOU EVER HAVE DAYS WHERE YOU FELT OUT- NUMBERED?
WHERE WAS THIS PLACE?

DOES ANYONE RECOGNISE THIS WONDERFUL PLACE FROM OUR PAST?

 

??????????????????????????????????????????????

REMEMBER WHEN.....................

DOES THIS PICTURE BRING BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES?

 

 

*********************************************************************

REMEMBER WHEN??

Memory was something you lost with age?

An application was for employment?

A program was a TV show?
A curser use profanity?

A keyboard was a piano?
A web was a spider's home?

A virus was the flu?
A CD was a bank account?

A hard drive was a long road trip?
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived?

Remember???

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50

This was sent to me by Nancy Stephens-Daugherty

 

 

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.)

 

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in eachsack.***************************************************************************

CHANGE IS COMING!

George Hatcher sent this to me and I thought it was Great!! 

Candy

The buzzword of this election is 'CHANGE.' Candidates toss it around without saying what they want to change to. Just that we need.....CHANGE!


This brings to mind the following illustration.

Years ago, there was an old tale in the Marine Corps about a major who inspected his Marines and told the Gunny Sargent that they smelled bad.  The major suggested that they change their underwear.  The Gunny responded, 'Aye, aye, sir. I'll see to it immediately.'
 
He went into the tent and said, 'The major thinks you guys smell bad, and he wants you to change your underwear. Smith, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowskie, Brown, you change with Schultz....everyone change, now get on with it.'  And the moral of this story is:  A candidate may promise change in Washington...but the stink remains!
 
       THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 
      DEMOCRACY WILL CEASE TO EXIST WHEN YOU
      TAKE AWAY FROM THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO
      WORK AND GIVE TO THOSE WHO WOULD NOT.
