NEVER CHEAT ON A TEXAS WOMAN!

NEVER CHEAT ON A TEXAS WOMAN!

A country wife came home just in time to find her husband in

Bed with another woman. With super-human strength, borne

Of fury, and cutting firewood, lifting sacks of feed, and bales

Of hay, she dragged him down the stairs, out the back door

And into the barn.
She put his manhood in a vice and then secured it tightly

And removed the handle. Next she picked up an old

Carpenter's' saw.

The banged-up-cheater was terrified and hollered, "Stop! Stop!

You're not gonna cut it off with that rusty saw, are you?"

The wife, with a gleam of revenge in her eye, put the saw in

Her husband's hand and said ......

"Nope....You are! 

I'm gonna burn down the Barn!" 

Try watching without laughing or grinning!!!!

5-Minute Management Course

5-Minute Management Course

Lesson 1: A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.' After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob , after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?' 'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies. 'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?' Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. Lesson 2: A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.' Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.' Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity. Lesson 3: A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' 'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk 'I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.' Puff! She's gone. 'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.' Puff! He's gone. 'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch!!!!!!' Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say. Lesson 4

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients..'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree..


Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.


Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.


Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your
friend.

(3 ) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep
your mouth shut!

Waking Up On The Wrong Day Of The Week

I woke up this morning, well, I say morning anyway.  It was actually about 30 minutes ago at 11:30, you know right around the crack of noon, and started getting ready, actually, I am all dressed up with no where to go. I thought it was Saturday and got ready to go to my daughter Dawn's house for my daughter Vanessa's baby shower, then while I was checking email I noticed that it is only Friday the 9th.  The shower isn't until tomorrow!  So I guess I'm gonna do the dishes instead.  Boy what a trade off!

I am loving it up here with my daughters right here.  It's great to be around them and part of their life again, I didn't realize how much I missed them!  Although they kinda treat me like a senile, old man, but then again, I guess I am a senile old man.  I love them to death!  They are taking such good care of me.  I am living with my daughter Billie and her partner Halle, there is another guy named Steve but he is moving out at the end of the month and I will have my own bedroom.

I have been spending my days on the computer while Billie and Halle are at work getting all the things done that I need to do to start school.  One thing I know that I am gonna have to do is put more RAM in this laptop.  It is way too slow for me to do school work on.  As I am typing this I get about 3 or 4 words typed and then it stops and I have to wait for it to catch up.  I gues my typing is just too fast for my computer to handle.  Other than that I am ready for my Redneck Home Schooling to start.

Well, gonna get off my butt and go load the dishwasher.  My contribution for the day, hell, I might even cook dinner tonight!

DeeOhGee and the Pool on Pearl Harbor Day

Went to my Oldest daughter's house for the first time last night to have pizza and cake for my youngest daughter's birthday, everything is going fine until, DeeOhGee, being as blind as he is getting, walked smack dab into the smimming pool, and it was cold out, Vanessa bent down and snatched him out and he had steam emanating from his whole body, If the consequences could not have been so bad it could have been really terrible cause it was really cold, hovering around freezing. However, the DeeOhGee is alive and well, laying right next to me now as I type.  Every now and then he will paw the keyboard like he has something to say.  Gonna really have to keep an eye on him over there.  All in all it was a great evening and when I got home Billie had spent the time to rearrange my living area to make it more comfortable and did a really great job.  I have a study, work desk, dresser with all the drawers for me, she even refolded all my clothes and sorted them by type and color!  It's 32 degrees out right now at 08:52 in the am and I'm hoping the sun comes out and warms everything up, I need to go for a walk today, but not if it's cold out, I'm shooting for at least 45 degrees before I venture out. Well that's the latest from Arlington, oh yeah, while at Dawn's last night I got a call from Ronnie at the Tarpon Ice House and got to talk to quite a few friends, thanks for calling Ronnie, perked my night up hearing ya'lls voices.  That's it for now, will think of more, later!

How to make hash

There are many different ways of making hash. The main issue of making hash is to get the THC out of your leafs and stems. We will describe the 3 most popular ways for you.

1. The blender method

2. The alcohol method

3. Making cannabutter

The blender method for making hash

Put water in a blender. Add a large handful of leaves, stems, seeds and mild weed. Put in 3 or 4 ice cubes and blend it for about 3-4 minutes. Just make sure everything is very finely chopped. Secondly, you will need a gold reusable coffee filter (or 90-line silk screen). Get a large mouth quart mason jar, and strain your Slurpee mixture through it. Once you have strained all the liquid through, run some more water through the leaf material to wash out any extra trichome.

After a few minutes you will notice a white collection at the bottom of the jar, this is the trichome. Let the trichome settle at the bottom for about 20-30 minutes. Next, pour off the top 2/3's of the filtered green water, leaving the settled trichome at the bottom. Add more ice water to get the green stuff out, and let the trichome settle at the bottom for about 20 minutes again. Repeat this step once more. Pour off as much water as you can without pouring off the trichome, filter the resulting trichome/water mix through a paper coffee filter. The trichome will not go through the paper, but the water will. When all the water has filtered through, a slightly wet, cold, mass of trichome will be left. This will be easy to handle and compress.

The alcohol method for making hash

Take your stash (stems, seeds, mild weed) and place it in a covered pot, with enough alcohol to cover everything. Isopropyl alcohol is commonly available at pharmacies. Look for alcohol that is 99% pure. Denatured alcohol also works well. Sometimes isopropyl alcohol is called rubbing alcohol. Now carefully boil the mixture on an electric stove. Be careful: the alcohol is very flammable! After 45 minutes of heating you can strain the solids out, saving the alcohol. Now, repeat the process with the same residuals, but with fresh alcohol. When the second boil has finished, remove the solids again, combine the two quantities of alcohol and boil again until you have a syrupy mixture. This syrupy mixture will contain much of the THC formerly hidden in the stash.

Making Cannabutter

Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, then put a small amount of butter in the water. The butter melts, and mixes with the water. Then put the grass or stash in and boil it. Now all the grass will be riling around with the water and the butter. The THC dissolves into the butter. Stir the stuff regularly. After half an hour of cooking the grass, strain out the grass and stash and squeeze all the juice out of it. Then put the liquid in the fridge.

A few hours later, the mixture is cold enough and the cannabutter has solidified on the surface. It will look kind of scummy, but it's just enchanted butter. Scoop it out and retain it in a bowl or a jar. The cannabutter can be used just like butter, in brownies or cake.

Yale Law Students Check a Border Terrier Out of Library for Stress Relief

There's no doubt law students are super stressed out. On top of a busy academic load, who knows if they're even going to have jobs after graduation? Enter Monty the therapy dog, available for check out from the Yale Law School library. A 30-minute play session with Monty is the perfect stress relief—if he actually exists.

The myth of Monty—short for "General Montgomery"—first surfaced last fall on the popular blog Above the Law. The border terrier was allegedly in a basket behind the circulation desk, but the school later issued a denial about Monty's existence. Now New York Magazine's reporting that Yale students have received a memo saying that, Monty is back and available for checkout. According to the memo from Law Librarian Blair Kauffman,

The law library intends to run a three day pilot program starting on March 28, 2011 during which students will be able to “check out” our certified library therapy dog, Monty for thirty minute periods. We hope that making a therapy dog available to our students will prove to be a positive addition to current services offered by the library. It is well documented that visits from therapy dogs have resulted in increased happiness, calmness, and overall emotional well-being.

And, even though Monty is hypoallergenic, "visits will be confined to a dedicated non-public space in the library to eliminate potential adverse reactions from any library user who might have dog-related concerns. Kauffman also says they'll be looking for student feedback on whether to have therapy dogs available "during stressful periods of the semester, for example during examinations."

GOOD is a dog-friendly workplace so we know first-hand how a little playtime with a pooch can improve moods. If reports of Monty are a another hoax, maybe they shouldn't be. Here's to more stress-relieving "Monty's" on campus! Read more at www.good.is

Elderly Driving

Danger Ahead? The Rising Number of Elderly Drivers

sed the accelerator an

An 86-year-old driver killed 10 people and injured more than 70 when he confused the accelerator and brake pedals of his Buick Le Sabre and drove it into a crowded farmers’ market in Santa Monica, California, on July 16, 2003. In Massachusetts in 2009, seven people were injured after a car driven by a 73-year-old woman jumped a curb and ran into a crowd gathered at a war memorial. Also in Massachusetts, a 93-year-old man drove his car into the entrance of a Wal-Mart, injuring six people, after he mistook the gas pedal for the brake.

Are older drivers really such a threat? Studies have resulted in conflicting statistics, but the one thing that’s certain is that it’s a problem society will be dealing with in greater frequency in the coming years. In 2009, about 39 million Americans, or 13 percent of the population, were over age 65, and this age group makes up 15 percent of all licensed drivers in the country.  The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by 2050, almost 1 in 4 Americans, nearly 90 million people, will be over age 65.

Are older drivers a danger to themselves and others?

Carnegie Mellon University and the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety looked at data from 1999 to 2004 and found that fatality rates climb for drivers over age 65. From ages 75 to 84, the fatality rate is equal to that of teenage drivers, long considered the most dangerous age group in automobiles:  about three deaths per 100 million miles driven. After age 85 the fatality rate is four times that of younger drivers. More troubling statistics: in 2005, 11 percent of fatal crashes involved drivers over 65.

However, another recent study refutes this data. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)  found that the rate of fatal crashes among drivers 70 years and older decreased from 1997 to 2008. In that time, the number of older drivers in the U.S. rose several percentage points, but fatal crashes per licensed driver decreased by a third. The Insurance Institute attributes this drop to the drivers themselves; they say more seniors are voluntarily driving less. Most elderly drivers decide to stop driving on their own, or restrict the amount and distance they travel behind the wheel; more than 600,000 drivers age 70 and older decide to give up driving each year, according to a 2002 study published in the American Journal of Public Health.

How are states dealing with elderly drivers?

State laws vary widely in how they deal with older drivers and licensing. Eighteen states have no requirements or restrictions for renewing driver’s licenses. Some states require drivers over certain age limits to renew in person and pass a vision test; Illinois and New Hampshire make those over 75 pass a road test when renewing their driver’s licenses. In New Hampshire, about 10 percent of drivers tested fail this test every year; state officials believe this system has kept unfit older drivers off the roads. While seniors make up about 15 percent of New Hampshire’s licensed drivers, they are involved in only nine percent of crashes.

The process of aging certainly causes issues that affect the ability to drive. Reflexes slow down, flexibility decreases; hearing and vision may also become less sharp. Memory and the ability to concentrate decline. IIHS found the only scientifically proven way to lower the rate of fatal crashes among older drivers is to beef up the laws requiring them to renew their driver’s licenses in person, rather than by mail. However, eye exams cannot catch a driver with diminished cognitive ability or physical capacity. States have tried a range of approaches, but for the most part they have struggled to establish precise standards for determining when seniors should be kept off the road while being fair to older drivers who remain capable. Age discrimination is a very real possibility. Read more at nakedlaw.avvo.com
