A Richmond, Virginia man paid $17,000 for four strands of hair believed to have been snipped from the head of George Washington, the first president of the United States. The hair was sold at an auction in Lexington, Kentucky.
The auction house owner, Jamie Bates said he had expected it might go for as much as $75,000. “But I’ve never sold George Washington’s hair before, so I don’t know.” The hair, which was pressed under glass, had been owned by a Philadelphia lawyer and had been handed down in his family for several generations.
My question is how could anyone ever prove if the hair was or wasn’t the hair of George Washington? They sure don’t have any DNA from him to prove it. It could be some old woman’s hair for all anyone knows. Oh well, as long as the man that bought it is happy with it, then that’s all that really matters I guess.
I love boots. Especially in the winter if I have to be outside long. Double H Boots has just about any type of boots you could need from waterproof boots to western boots to work boots. They even have double insulated boots if you are like me and your feet freeze when it’s cold.
Believe it or not, but when I’m in a casual type of mood, I love to wear either western (cowboy boots) or work boots. It would take too long to try and tell you the different types of boots, especially work boots that they have so the best thing I can suggest is you check out their web site if you need boots. I bet you’ll find what you need.
I believe that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I believe that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I believe that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.
I believe that it isn’t always enough, to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe that you shouldn’t be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life Forever.
I believe two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
Why do I believe all of these things? Because that’s what my Daddy taught me and he taught me well. He was a very wise man, don’t you think? I sure do.
If you move, you need boxes. If you’re packing away stuff, you need boxes. But what if you’re a huge company that ships a lot of stuff, you really need boxes then. Well San Diego packaging is the place you need to go then. Not only do they make cardboard boxes, but they do so much more than that. They also provide a wide variety of wooden containers, vapor barrier bags, steel fabrication, corrugated boxes and moving supplies, corrosion inhibitors, special applications, fixtures & material handling and also on-site packaging & shipping.
Their wooden containers come in small to large containers and are one of the most cost efficient ways to go because they’re completely reusable. There’s less waste than with cardboard boxes. They’ll even fabricate metal racks for you to store your stuff on in the boxes. The vapor barrier bags are like those that computers or electronic parts come in. You can’t let the elements get to them or they’re destroyed so if you need that added protection, you can get that here too.
But if a corrugated box is what you need for moving, they carry them too along with everything else you need to go along with them like tape, labels or whatever. So if you’re in need of boxes of any type, you might want to check these guys out at http://valleybox.com.
Military families move around a lot as most people already know. So if they are going to purchase Furniture on Credit, it has to be with a company that understands they move a lot. This one does. They have Military Programs just for that purpose. They are also Federal Government & Military Approved so that tells you that they can be trusted by military families.
They have an Easy Credit Program in which allotments, payroll deductions & direct deposit are all accepted. That’s especially good for families that get moved a lot or have to move back in with family while their loved one is deployed over seas. It happens too often unfortunately. They have special ipod offer for Soldiers which is great I think. These guys could really use something like that during their down time.
Their web site has a new look too so you should check it out. They also have Computers on Credit with Easy Credit too. Hey get this, they even have Free Nationwide Delivery. How cool is that? I find that totally amazing. There aren’t many places that offer free delivery much less nationwide delivery which you have to pay out the wazoo for.
In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the new check-out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26 and he was only 22) and he fell in love.
Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to find out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly at him, took her card and punched out, then left. He looked at her card, BRENDA. He walked out only to see her start walking up the road. Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She simply said it wasn’t possible.
He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn’t afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the following Saturday. That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, “Well, let’s take the kids with us.”
She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda brought him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just as cute as a bug, Kurtis thought, and then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He was born a paraplegic with Down Syndrome.
Kurtis asked Brenda, “I still don’t understand why the kids can’t come with us?” Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities – just like her first husband and father of her children had done. Kurtis was not ordinary – – – he had a different mindset.
That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him and brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life with. A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children. Since then they have added two more kids.
So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl? Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona. If you tune in on 1 February, you can watch him quarterback the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl against the Pittsburgh Steelers! Is this a surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary person? Some athletes are also great people.
It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. He has also been the NLF’s Most Valuable Player twice and the Super Bowl’s MVP. On Sunday, 1 Feb I’ll be rooting for Kurt and the Cards. It’s a shame they didn’t win but he’s already a winner in my book.
I try very hard to eat healthy every day. Some days it’s not that easy when it’s a super busy day though. Like sometimes at work if we have to work late, they’ll order out something and it’s not usually the best things if you know what I mean. I love Reds and Sweet Tender GreensTM. They are the best salads you can buy I think.
Not only are they good, they are really good for you. They have two new salads available but my favorite is Reds and Sweet Tender GreensTM.. You know how if your food looks good, it tastes better? Well this is really a pretty salad that’s also good for you.
They’re full of phytonutrients which in plain English means they are full of plant-based nutrients. These types of nutrients help to boost immunity and provide antioxidant protection. They also promote promote eye health too. Just check out their new web site for all the information you need to learn more about the benefits of phytonutrients. You won’t be sorry you did.
Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000 …oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.
This is part of what’s wrong with our so called ‘Legal system’. It’s also why our insurance is so darn high too.
