The Storm

They were together in the house. Just the two of them. It was a cold, dark, stormy night. The storm had come quickly and each time the thunder boomed he watched her jump. She looked across the room and admired his strong appearance...and wished that he would take her in his arms, comfort her and protect her from the storm. Suddenly, with a pop, the power went out... She screamed... He raced to the sofa where she was cowering. He didn't hesitate to pull her into his arms. He knew this was a forbidden union and expected her to pull back. He was surprised when she didn't resist but instead clung to him. The storm raged on... They knew it was wrong... Their families would never understand... So consumed were they in their FEAR that they heard no opening of doors... just the faint click of a camera......

Grilling Time *~* they need maintenance!

So I'm using my bbq this weekend... so i thought iʼd clean it up.. i have known there were bee's coming from under the cover so i thought i'd kill them, obviously... so here's the bbq in question

now i know these bombs aren't for bee's and that but i thought i'll suffocate/smoke them out. So here is the weapon of choice and delivery system.

I thought I was pretty smart hehehe designed to be easily maneuvered under the cover of darkness... so then i release the weapon of buzz destruction.. OMFG! the sound from under the cover was incredible!!! You could hear it 3miles away easy... Then I ran like the clappers.... coming back few minutes later to see the death toll...

continued to remove the cover and to light the bbq to give it a clean when i noticed some fatty looking substance on the top of the side shelf thing....

Bit weird.. i clean it before i put it away for winter and no way was there fat there so i begun to wonder......

NO..... it can't be could it?

It was huge!! I slowly removed the rest of the cover only to find this ... ..

God Created

God created the donkey and said to him. "You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass, you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years."

The donkey answered: "I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years" God granted his wish. *******

God created the dog and said to him: "You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend. You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years. You will be a dog. "

The dog answered: "Sir, to live 30 years is too much,give me only 15 years." God granted his wish. *******

God created the monkey and said to him: "You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks. You will be amusing and you will live 20 years. "

The monkey answered: "To live 20 years is too much, give me only 10 years." God granted his wish. *******

Finally God created man ... And said to him: "You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth.

You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals. You will dominate the world and you will live 20 years." *******

Man responded: "Sir, I will be a man but to live only 20 years is very little, give me the 30 years that the donkey refused, the 15 years that the dog did not want and the 10 years the monkey refused." God granted man's wish *******

And since then, man lives 20 years as a man , Marries and spends 30 years like a donkey, Working and carrying all the burdens on his back.

Then when his children are grown, He lives 15 years like a dog taking care of the house and eating whatever is given to him, So that when he is old,

He can retire and live 10 years like a monkey, Going from house to house and from one son or daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.

That's Life. Is'nt it ??????????

He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and

says, "Thank you Mr. Canadian for letting me in this country,

giving me housing, Money for food, free medical care, and

free education!"

The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am Jamaican."

The man goes on and encounters another passerby.

"Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in

Canada!"

The person says, "I not Canadian, I Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees

he stops, Shakes his hand and says, "Thank you for the

wonderful Canada !"

Middle East , I am Not Canadian!"

He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an Canadian?"

She says, "No, I am from Africa !"

Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the

Canadians?"

Inner Peace

If you can start the day without caffeine, If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it, If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you anytime, If you can take criticism and blame without resentment, If you can conquer tension without medical help, If you can relax without liquor, If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

...Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

And you thought I was going to get all spiritual.

Coffee Filters

Coffee filters ..who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing. 1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers. 2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling. 3. Protect China .... Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish. 4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter. 5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust. 6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter. 7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter. 8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale. 9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods. 10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes. 11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter. 12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows Use strips of coffee filters. 13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them. Soaks out all the grease. 14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."

OH YEAH, THEY'RE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS

Eagle cam

When were the eggs laid?

According to Bev Day from O.W.L., both eggs were in the nest on February 23. As eggs are generally 2-3 days apart, that would mean the first egg was probably laid on or before February 21st.

When will they hatch?

Eggs generally hatch 35-40 days after they are laid, with the first eggs often taking longer than the eggs that were laid later. This results in the eaglets being closer in age, making it easier for the younger eaglets to compete for food. Thirty-five days from February 21st is March 28, and 40 days from February 21st is April 2, so if all goes well the first egg should hatch in late March or early April, with the second one 1-3 days later. Still no babies as of this evening

When will they fledge?

Eagles generally fledge, or take their first flight, when they are 10-14 weeks old, so they are likely to fledge towards the end of June.

A Cruel Word

A cruel word once spoken is hard to take back

For nothing hurts worse than a verbal attack

The words meant to hurt can be hard to forgive

But with toxic people we must learn to live

The sting of harsh words to your feelings cause pain

And with you for many years linger and remain

Yes words used against you in a hurtful way

With your confidence and feelings havoc can play

And injury to feelings time can only repair

And sad to think toxic people are not rare

A few toxic people in every town

They build you a little and then drag you down

But where the flowers are a few weeds also grow

And appreciate your friend and put up with your foe.

Take me as I am

If you cannot accept me the way I am

Then kick me out your life and tell me scram

As you can't reshape the branch of full grown tree

So take me as I stand or let me be.

I know in my own way I do act strange

But I am way beyond the years for change

So accept me as I am or bolt that door

And shut me out your life forever more.

You say I'm distant when your family are about

But there's a time for speech and for shut mouth

And I should have thought that you already knew

That never speak until you are spoken too.

And though I do confess I love you true

I'll not be changing not even for you

I could not change my personality

By doing so I could fool no one but me.

I cannot alter my mentality

So accept me as I am or set me free

I could not live a lie or be a fake

So I cannot change not even for your sake.

Accept me for what I am the one you know

Or either set me loose and let me go

As it's not my fault I am the way I am

For after all I'm just a common woman.

My Valentines Friends

Valentine’s Day reminds me

how meaningful my feelings are for you.

You have a special place in my world

that no one else could fill.

Out of your overflowing heart,

you add color and light to my life.

You continually cross my mind,

like a precious dose of sunshine,

lighting me up inside--

as I think of you

and the lasting memories

we have created together.

No Valentine gift

is as precious to me

as you are,

my Valentine friend.

Behind these hazel eyes

Racism comes in many different shapes and forms Sadly I have had my fair share since I’ve been born Judged before I have been even given a chance Delaying my future and for my career to advance My parents tell me of stories they have had to endure I wish racism was a sickness with a dose of medication to cure Thankfully there are good hearted and educated people Who can look beyond skin colour and treat us all as an equal Why would another person’s skin colour be such an issue? Get to know them; they might have things in common just like you I am so fed up of hearing "They're from so and so, they are all the same" Everyone has differences but skin colour is not to blame I wonder sometimes is it because the racist themselves are afraid to mix Who knows, I am only looking for a solution to get it fixed It’s a major problem none of us like or need, How sad to hear, a racist sees skin colour the only reason to want to make you bleed You see films like ‘Mississippi Burning’ I think to myself that was then but when are racist going to start learning? If humans never saw in colour, what would it be like then? I am sure everyone would get along and call each other friend I hope my kids and the next generation never get to witness racism first hand Lets pray for them racism was a issue in the past that no longer stands Life is hard as it is, without the need of racism Like supporting our family and giving our kids a good education Ways to stop racism should begin at home and school Getting along will be our biggest advantage, our strongest tool I did have people who I did call friends But their own racist views meant our friendship had to end It does not matter, if your white, black or brown You should feel safe to walk and talk in any town Racism has to be erased from every country and every street Knowing racism is not an issue when theirs someone new we meet Everyone has the right to go anywhere they choose Because whilst racism is still alive, no one wins, everybody will lose To those facing racism, all I can say is be brave and stay strong To those racist, deep down in your heart you must know it’s wrong? God blessed us by putting us here, giving us all different shades of colour Were not meant to have the same colour skin, but we all can respect one another Martin Luther King Jr said in 1963 "I have a dream" But up to now it has yet to be seen

Racism comes in all colours. I am a strong smart Native American woman and proud of it! So if you want to label me please get it right ... I'm not "the white girl"!!
