HOW’S THIS FOR QUICK THINKING!

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. “Amazing,” he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal even more.

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a State-Trooper behind him, blue lights flashing and the siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, “What am I doing? I’m too old for this,” and pulled over to await the trooper’s arrival.

Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, “Sir, my shift ends in 15 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go.”

The old gentleman paused then said, “Three years ago, my wife ran off with a State-Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.”

 The trooper replied, “Sir, you have a good day.”

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice.

They don’t take “no” for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart .

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.. They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideas. They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

I love using my Yahoo Instant Messenger. It gives the opportunity to chat with so many of my close friends and family members quick and easy. I spend more time on my IM than I do on the phone. Works for me! Right now I have Verizon DSL but am seriously looking into switching to Hughes Net to see what broadband is all about. But no matter what I’ll always rely on my Yahoo IM>

My best friend has taken on the responsibility of taking care of her great uncle who is in his late 80’s and is in need of senior home care. Her mother was taking care of this man for the past several years, but has come upon some medical issues of her own that has made it impossible for her to take any more on than she possibly can at this point.

I’ve been looking around some myself on the Internet to see if I can come up with any suggestions on care for elderly in home services as well. She has been so busy at work and being a mom and wife that she has reached out to me to try and her along the way. I don’t mind one bit, she and I have been friends since the 4th grade, her family is my family and visa verse, we are just one big happy family!

There is a lot of information on the Internet concerning respite care, I’ve learned a lot in my endeavour to help out my friend, which is pretty cool. I’m sure that some day I’ll be looking in to find care for my parents, not something I look forward to, but is a reality that is inevitable, sigh…..

I have been assured that this photo is real. What a cool shot this turned out to be, wish I could have seen it first hand, but photos are almost just as good. Check it out!
