I am so into anything that helps me find my center

Life can really be hard at times like I was just discussing with you.  Well I have found a wonderful web based TV type program that will help to transform your life. No it’s not some guru standing up there teaching you to meditate but it is full of helpful programs.

I’m all for anything that helps me to find my center and that is what they site is all about.  It helps you to pay attention to your life and learn how to really live it.  If that sounds stupid to you, check it out anyway.  You just might learn something important about your life.  I did.

Here’s three in one!!

Idiots # 1: A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, ‘Nobody move!’ When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

Idiot # 2: Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he’d just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious. It seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on videotape.

Last but not least: This person lives in a semi-rural area (Weyauwega, Wisconsin). They recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: ‘Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! – I don’t think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.’

I have no more but I’m sure there are more out there because they multiply!!

Boy this one is really ‘bright’

A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch and wrote this, ‘Put all your muny in this bag.’ While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller’s window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank.

After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn’t the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America.

Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, ‘OK’ and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.

Another set of geniuses at work

Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home.

Shortly after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming toward them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locater beacon that activated when the raft was inflated.

They are no longer employed at Boeing.  Does that surprise you?  Well it doesn’t surprise me one bit.  Sometimes I wonder about people, ya know?  I wonder if the joy ride was worth losing their jobs for?  I bet not.

Words amaze me sometimes

Did you know that you can sort of figure out where someone is by just a few words they might say?  Well it’s true.  In the south, if two cars collide, it’s a wreck but to the rest of the country, it’s an accident.  Think about it.  In fact, there is one word that can tell you if someone is from New York, the south or the rest of the country.  That’s right just one little word and that word is ‘saw’ like ‘I saw a bird’  not a thing that cuts wood.

In the south they say ‘I seen a bird’.  The rest of the country says ‘I saw a bird’ while in New York, they say ‘I sore a bird’.  It’s that funny?  I think it is.  In the south the words won’t and want are pronounced the same but pronounced like won’t.  I could go on and on but I think you get the idea.  Listen to the way people say some things and then see if you can figure out where they are from by the way they say some words.  It’s sort of a game I play and it’s fun to me.  I also have a tendency to pick up accents rather easily too because of it which is too funny to me but not so funny to my mother.  It drives her nuts.

How about this?

Babies are born without kneecaps. They don’t appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age.

Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.

Leonardo DaVinci invented the scissors.

Winston Churchill was born in a ladies’ room during a dance.

Amazing stuff, huh?

Friends going snowboarding

I have some crazy friends that love to go snowboarding.  All of them have Burton snowboards and want me to go with them this weekend and try it.  I know they have a blast because I have seen some of the videos of them on the slopes and I have to admit, it does look like a lot of fun.

The only problem is I have a hard enough time staying up on two skis and they want me to try on just one board.  I can’t even ride a skateboard.  I think I’ll go and give it a shot.  If I like it then I guess I’ll be getting a Burton snowboard too.  Well that is if I don’t break my neck first.

A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.
