| | Here's to us! We are Awesome!! | | No matter what our kids and the new generation think about us, WE ARE AWESOME!!
OUR LIFE IS LIVING PROOF!To those of us born between 1930 and 1979……
First,
We survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors, or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.
As infants and children we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes.
Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared on soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar. And we weren’t overweight…WHY?
Because we were always outside playing…that’s why!We would leave home... | |
| | Reggie.....a story of love | | This story was given to me today from a person that knows I'm a definite lab lover....don't read without kleenex!
They told me the big black Lab's name was Reggie
as I looked at him lying in his pen. the shelter was
clean, no-kill, and the people really friendly.
I'd only been in the area for six months, but everywhere
I went in the small college town, people were welcoming and
open. Everyone waves when you pass them on the
street.But something was still missing as I attempted to
settle in to my new life here, and I thought a dog
couldn't hurt. Give me someone to talk to.
And I had just seen Reggie's advertisement on the local
news. The shelter said they had received numerous
calls right after, but they said the people who had come
down to see him just didn't look like "Lab
people," whatever that meant. They must've
thought I did.
But at first, I thought the shelter had misjudged me
in giving me Reggie and his things, which consisted of a dog
pad, bag of toys almost all of which were brand new tennis
balls, his dishes, and a sealed letter from his previous
owner. See, Reggie and I didn't really hit it off
when we got home. We struggled for two... | |
| | Lessons From the Art of Juggling | | Has anybody read this book? It was co-written by Michael J. Gelb and Tony Buzan, and is one of my favorite non-fiction books. Michael Gelb also wrote another one of my favorites and that was 'How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci'. I have read them both twice. It was after I read the Leonardo da Vinci book that I began practicing doing everything... writing, detail painting, everything, with my left hand too. I am working on being totally ambidextrous, which I feel balances the brain in that both sides are used more equally.Anyway, after re-reading Lessons From the Art of Juggling I decided to learn how to juggle. (They use juggling as an analogy for success in life... you need to be playful, ambidextrous, calm, centered and graceful, and you can't be bothered by it when you drop the balls... it is part of the learning process.)So, when my sister came up for a weekend visit I asked her if she had any tennis balls at her house she could bring up here to the mountain for me, as I was going to learn how to juggle. She couldn't believe her ears and stood there staring at me with her mouth hanging open for a full minute at least. Then she walked over to her car and pulled out the... | |

| | Forms of energy | | Everything in our daily lives generates energy, so why can't we harvest that energy, instead of relying on fossil fuels? They could simply have plates that bump when you run over them on the street, or tennis balls with elastic layers, compressed air, and copper and electro-magnetic wiring, and a core to store the energy. If we could harvest all f the energy of our daily lives, we could run our house, car, and all of our appliances. It is said that if we could get all of the energy from an 8 oz glass of water, we could power Paris for a month! I think there should be mere research put into alternative energy, because if we had suits on our body that had 2 thin layers of plastic, one connecting to the other with millions of tiny pistons that when are pushed in compress air which is blown into tiny wind-power generators, then are stored in a thin third layer in the body suit. We could easily generate massive amounts of energy with no extra effort. This would save the environment, and all of the excess energy you don't use could be sold to the power company to again be sold to people who didn't generate enough energy. It would also be fun knowing that just by walking, you were... | |
| | Oh No! Toxic Pet Toys! | | I only just came across this in my email. I subscribe to the petplace.com website and get a daily e-newsletter and this one "woke" me up. Remember how not too long ago, there were massive recalls of toys for children that were made in China due to the high levels of lead paint? Well I just bet none of us thought about the possibility of lead paint in toys for our pets....Well now we should be thinking it, and yes, due to pet toys made in China.Here's an excerpt from the article itself..I urge you though to read the entire article in it's entirety.[i]In the wake of the lead scare, two laboratories have conducted independent tests on randomly selected pet items. These very qualified laboratories include Trace Laboratories, Inc. in Illinois and ExperTox Analytical Laboratories in Texas. Both labs have found lead and other toxic heavy metals in pet items purchased from American stores.ExperTox Analytical Laboratories tested a Chinese-made, Wal-Mart marketed cat toy and dog toy. Both were packaged in a clear plastic wrapping with a cardboard label and no brand name.The dog toy, a latex, green monster, contained high levels of lead and chromium (a cancer-causing... | |
| | Do you know how to juggle? | | I was quite bored here at work so i got up to chat a little with one of my officemates. She had 2 tennis balls on her table and we started fooling around with the balls. Then i remembered that i sued to be so fascinated with jugling that back in highschool, i'd spend all day Sunday practicing with some oranges at home and when my mom would come home, she'd be furious to find the oranges misshapen and ugly[em]lol[/em]
HEhehehe.
Do you know how to juggle? | |
