SAFETY BULLETIN I never knew this before!

How can you tell when you are in a room, restroom, motel etc.
with a mirror or a 2-way glass?

Here's how: I thought it was quite interesting! And I know in
about 30 seconds you're going
to do what I did and find the nearest mirror.

Do you know how to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not?
A policewoman who travels  all over the US and gives seminars
and techniques for businesswomen passed this on.

When we visit toilets,  bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms,
etc., how many of you know for sure  that the seemingly ordinary mirror
hanging on the wall is a real  mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror
(i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them)? There have been
many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in  female changing
rooms . It is  very difficult to positively identify the surface
by looking at it.

So, how do we determine with  any amount of certainty what type of
mirror we are looking at?

Just  conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail
against the reflective surface and  if there is a GAP between your
fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is GENUINE mirror.
However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES  the image of your
nail, then BEWARE! IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!

"No Space, Leave the Place" So  remember, every time you see a
mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything.

REMEMBER.  No Space, Leave the Place:

Ladies: Share this with your girlfriends, sisters, daughters, 
etc.

Men:  Share this with your wives, daughters, daughters-in- law, &
mothers, girlfriends and/or friends.

 

 

GOOD NITE GUYS!!!!!

Subject: The Possibly Stolen Car


A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a
busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow,
just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping
at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the
red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn,
screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to
get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone
and makeup.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her
window and looked up into the face of a very serious
police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her
car with her hands up.

He took her to the police station where she was
searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a
holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman
approached the cell and opened the door. She was
escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting
officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, 'I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I
pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your
horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and
cussing a blue streak at him.' I noticed the 'What
Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life'
license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School'
bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish
emblem on the trunk; naturally I assumed you had
stolen the car .'

ROFLMAO! :)

BEST COME BACK RESPONSE OF THE YEAR 

If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman's credibility...

Q: "Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?"

A: "No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away."

Q: "Officer -- who provided this description?"

A: "The officer who responded to the scene."

Q: "A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?"

A: "Yes, sir. With my life."

Q: "With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?"

A: "Yes sir, we do!"

Q: "And do you have a locker in the room?"

A: "Yes sir, I do."
 
Q: "And do you have a lock on your locker?"
A: "Yes sir."

Q: "Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?"

A: "You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room."


The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's "Best Comeback" line -- and we think he'll win.

Twinkies and a Rootbeer...

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of Root Beer and he started his journey.
 
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an elderly man. The man was sitting in the park just feeding some pigeons. 
 
The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the man looked hungry, so he offered him a Twinkie.
 
The man gratefully accepted it and smiled at boy. His smile was so pleasant that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer.
Again, the man smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the man, and gave him a hug. The man gave him his biggest smile ever.
 
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?
 
"He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? God's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
 
Meanwhile, the elderly man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked," Dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." However, before his son responded, he added," You know, he's much younger than I expected."
 
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!

Just my luck! LOL

Going out to dinner, just wanted to spread laughter!  Cya later!  HUGS

 

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day,and all the  patients were
shouting ,'13....13....13'
 
The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks and looked 
through to see what was going on.  Someone poked me in the eye with a stick.
 
Then they all started shouting '14....14....14'...

Giving Clothes to Goodwill - Nite to you all!

It should make you feel all warm inside knowing that the clothes you previously wore are now gracing another grateful body!

Remember that cleaning out your closets at least once a year and giving former treasures to Goodwill (or charity of your choice) is a great way to give back to your community and help those who are less fortunate.

So look through your closets and see if you don't have something that doesn't fit, or might be a little out of fashion.
 

Those things will probably fit s omeone else and could be the height of fashion for them.

With that in mind, I send along this heart-warming photo to inspire you, and remind you that your efforts won't go unnoticed.

The Lesson...

A lesson that should be taught in all schools!

Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha
Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School in
Little Rock , did something not to be forgotten.

On the first day of school, with the permission of the school
superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed
all of the desks out of her classroom.

When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that
there were no desks.

Looking around, confused, they asked,
'Ms. Cothren, where're our desks?'

She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me what you
have done to earn the right to sit at a desk.'
They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.'
'No,' she said.

Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.

And so, they came and went, the first period, second period,
third period. Still no desks in the classroom.

By early afternoon television news crews had started gathering in
Ms. Cothren's classroom to report about this crazy teacher who had
taken all the desks out of her room.

The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students
found seats on the floor of the desk less classroom.

Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to
tell me just what he/she has done to earn the right to sit at the
desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to
tell you.'

At this point, Martha Cothren  went over to the door of her
classroom and opened it.

Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniforms, walked into
that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began
placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and
stand alongside the wall.

By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place
those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their
lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned.

Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks.
These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. Now,
it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to
be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you
could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.'

By the way, this is a true story.... If you can read this, thank
a teacher. If you read it in English, thank a soldier.

A Bad Cat Day....

Last one for tonite! HUGS to you all, goodnite!

Come in, laugh, say hello! LOL TEEEHEEEE

.A man and his wife were driving home one very cold night when the wife
asks her husband to stop the car. There was a baby skunk lying at the side
of the road, and she got out to see if it was still alive. It was, and she
said to her husband, "It's nearly frozen to death. Can we take it with us,
get it warm, and let it go in the morning?"

He says, "O.K., Get in the car with it."

"Where shall I put it to get it warm?"

He says, "Put it in between your legs. It's nice and warm there.

"But what about the smell?"

"Just hold its nose."

The man is expected to recover,
but the skunk she used to beat him with died at the scene ...

The passenger, Bubba, said, 'Look thar up ahead, Leroy, it's a dadgum police roadblock! We're gonna get busted fer drinkin' these here beers!


'Don't worry, Bubba,' Leroy said.


'We'll just pull over and finish drinkin' these beers then peel off the label and stick it on our foreheads then throw the bottles under the seat.'


'What fer?' asked Bubba.


'Just let me do the talkin', OK?,' said Leroy.


Well, they finished their beers, threw the empties out of sight and put the labels on each of their foreheads.


When they reached the roadblock, the sheriff said, 'Howdy boys ya'll been drinkin'?'

BBQ rules

After months of cold and rainy weather, we are finally coming up to summer
and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the
etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of
cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an element of danger
involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put
into motion:

Routine...
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with
the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is
lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:

(4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....
(5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks
her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the
situation.

 

Important again:

(7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine....
(8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces,
and brings them to the table.
(9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:
10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon
seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some
women....

HOW TO STAY YOUNG
 
 
 
1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times!
 
2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down. (keep  this in mind if you are one of those grouches;)
 
3. Keep learning:  Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!
 
4. Enjoy the simple things.
 
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.
 
6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.  LIVE while you are alive.
 
7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
 
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
 
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
 
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
 
11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

Barking Flowers? hmmmmmmmm MUST SEE

Give us a sense of humor, Lord,
Give us the grace to see a joke,
To get some humor out of life,
And pass it on to other folk.

Calling All Angels

Had a Bad Day

Morning Blogville! :)

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, 'My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor.'

'Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money,' Mike replies.

'There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot cheaper than a doctor.'

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.

He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits..

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

'You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It wi ll improve in two weeks.
Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart.'

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled.
 He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
2. Your dog has ringworm. Bath him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
5.
If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart!
