Off-Topic / The Lord is Crazy about You

« on: October 19, 2010, 01:25:05 pm »Message ID: 256620

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd = That's Relationship!

I shall not want = That's Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures = That's Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters = That's Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul = That's Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness = That's Guidance!

For His name sake = That's Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death = That's Testing!

I will fear no evil = That's Protection!

For Thou art with me = That's Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me = That's Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies = That's Hope!

Thou annointest my head with oil = That's Consecration!

My cup runneth over = That's Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life = That's Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord = That's Security!

Forever = That's Eternity!


Face it, the Lord is crazy about you.

Off-Topic / Would you...?

« on: October 19, 2010, 11:07:09 am »Message ID: 256553

...Could you?



Would you be apprehensive about driving across this bridge?

  http://www.leviaducdemillau.com/english/divers/gallerie.html

The Millau Viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and

Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers ever constructed.  The

tallest  is 240 meters (787 feet) high and the overall height is an impressive

336 meters (1102 feet),  making this the highest bridge in the world.  It is

taller than the Eiffel Tower ...Intriguingly, the Millau Viaduct is not straight.

A straight road could induce a sensation of floating for drivers, which a

slight curve remedies. The curve is 20 km in range.   Moreover, the road

has a light incline of 3% to improve the visibility and reassure the driver.   

It is an amazing engineering feat!   


But if you think about all the bridges that collapse... http://www.greatdreams.com/bridges/bridges.htm

hmm.. It would be so creepy driving across this! but a beautiful view!

.... HOME REMEDIES    

    
Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop.
    
Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat up by using the sink.
    
For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.
    
A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
    
If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives; then you'll be afraid to cough.
    
You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
    
Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
    
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.


If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat
and presto! The blockage will be almost instantly removed.

Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to a pizza parlor, place an order for home delivery and catch a ride home with the driver.

Always keep several get well cards on your mantel... so if unexpected guests arrive, they will understand you've been too sick to clean the house.



Hope these help! hahahahaha

Off-Topic / Got a joke for ya

Enjoy!


Margaret and Bert


An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas         

Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing
some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.

Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his
wife, "Notice anything different about me?"

Margaret looked him over. "Nope."

Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and
walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the
boots. 

Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, "Notice
anything different NOW?"

Margaret  looked up and exclaimed, "Bert, what's different? It's
hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be
hanging down again  tomorrow!"

 
Furious, Bert yelled,

    "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?" 

"Nope",  she replied.

"IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!"


Without changing her expression, Margaret replied, 

    "Shoulda bought a hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat."


Hahahahaha!

Off-Topic / If you don't know God, don't make stupid remarks

« on: October 07, 2010, 09:39:48 am »Message ID: 250187

This is NOT meant to offend anyone... just got it in an email, and had to share it!    


If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!

A United States Marine was taking some college courses
between assignments. He had completed 20 missions in Iraq
and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who
was an avowed atheist, and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in.
He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "GOD, if you are real, then
I want you to knock me off this platform... I'll give you exactly 15 min."
The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes
went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am GOD, I'm still waiting."


It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got
out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him;
knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.


The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently.
The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there
looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to,
noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked,
"What in the world is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

The Marine calmly replied,
"GOD was too busy today protecting America's
soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and
act like an idiot. So He sent me."


The classroom erupted in cheers!

Off-Topic / This is the Promise Land

« on: October 07, 2010, 07:50:53 am »Message ID: 250113

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel , "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."

Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land.”

Today, Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land!

I was so depressed last night thinking about health care plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called a Suicide Hotline. I had to press 1 for English. I was connected to a call center in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck…

  hahaha... thats horrible... but true...

I hope you enjoyed that, cuz I sure did!

Off-Topic / Taking care of your car can save $$ and the environment

« on: October 01, 2010, 10:04:34 am »Message ID: 246415

Following the right maintenance schedule and procedures can not only help save money, but also the environment.
Knowing what and when maintenance needs to be performed keeps consumers from over- or under-maintaining their vehicle. It also cuts down on the over-use of environmentally sensitive products such as motor oil, aids in the conservation of gasoline and can prolong the overall life of a car.

Are You Over-Changing Your Oil?
Many motorists believe the oil in their vehicle should be changed every 3,000 miles. However, most late-model vehicles now can go 5,000 to 7,000 miles between oil changes.
Having oil changes performed more frequently than needed is both a waste of money and an unnecessary burden on the environment. Motorists should check their vehicle's owner's manual to find out what intervals their vehicle's manufacturer recommends for changing the oil based on the conditions in which they drive. 

A Few Minutes a Month Can Produce Hundreds of Dollars in Savings
Tire maintenance—including proper inflation and regular rotation/balancing—also saves money by extending the life of the tires while reducing a car's fuel consumption. Extending tire replacement intervals and using less gasoline also provide added benefit to the environment.
Tires are essential to our mobility, but they're frequently overlooked. Taking a few minutes at least once a month to check the tires could extend how long you can drive on them for thousands of miles, and it can improve a car's gas mileage.
At least once a month, motorists should inspect each of their tires—including the spare. Check the tire pressure and ensure it's inflated to your vehicle's recommended maintenance levels, not the levels stamped on the sidewall of the tire. The correct pressure levels can be found on a sticker on the driver's side door jamb or in the owner's manual.
While checking each tire's pressure levels, inspect the tire sidewalls for bulges, and check the tread for excessive or uneven wear that indicates the need for wheel alignment and/or tire replacement. For maximum life, rotate the tires at the mileage intervals specified in the owner's manual.

The Road to a Long Car Life Starts with the Owner's Manual
Following the vehicle manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule found in the owner's manual is the best way to keep a car running properly and avoid costly repairs.

Debate & Discuss / Employing an Illegal immigrant

« on: September 30, 2010, 09:29:14 am »Message ID: 245600

Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate for Governor of California, is accused of knowingly employing an illegal immigrant for 9 years. Then, when the maid, Miss Diaz, asked for help with her illegal immigrant status and a lawyer, Miss Whitman "threw her away like a piece of garbage." Or so Diaz says. She also claimed that Miss Whitman told her: "You don't know me, I have never seen you and you have never seen me. Do you understand?"

The Social Security Administration sent a letter asking her to explain why her housekeeper’s social security number didn’t match the name on file. but Miss Whitman denies ever recieving such letter.    sounds kinda fishy to me

You know, after nine years of working for someone, you would think they're would be some kind of relationship built between the two. Regardless if she was illegal or not. Seems kinda heartless. I don't believe employing illegal immigrants is right, by any means (whether she knew it or not). I think illegals should come about it the right way.

but what are your thoughts? 
Do you think Miss Whitman really knew she was illegal, and is now trying to cover it up because of her candidacy?
Do you think she should have helped her out, seeing as how she's the 4th wealthiest person in the state of Cali?
Or could the maid have taken the mail, to hide the letter from her boss?

Off-Topic / *Joke of the day*

« on: September 24, 2010, 10:03:36 am »Message ID: 242641

~Just a little humor for the forum~
Enjoy!




Four guys have been going to the same deer camp for many years. Two days before the group is to leave, Ron's wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn't going.

Ron's friends are very upset that he can't go, but what can they do.

 
Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Ron sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and dinner cooking on the fire.

"Dang man, how long you been here, and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?"

"Well, I've been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening, I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said, 'Guess who?'"

I pulled her hands off, and she was wearing a brand new nightie.


She took my hand and pulled me to our bedroom.

The room had candles and rose petals all over.

On the bed she had handcuffs, and ropes!

She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed, and I did.

And then she said, "Do what ever you want."


So, Here I am.


  Lol!!
