05/19/11 - "These will leave you scratching your head'':
Can you cry under water?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to? Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity? Why does a round pizza come in a square box? What disease did cured ham actually have? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway... Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural? Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him? If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs! If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner? If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Why did you just try singing the two songs above? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? |
WILD GIGGLES! Thanks, Renee! ![]() |

05/19/11 - "Don't mess with seniors":
Sorry guys, I can't help it, this
thing struck me so funny I can't stop laughing. A TRIP TO SAM'S CLUB Yesterday I was at my local Sam's Club buying a large bag of Purina Dog Chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder Dog, and was in the checkout line when the woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's a-- and a car hit us both. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Sam's Club won't let me shop there anymore. Better watch what you ask retired people! They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say. Forward this (especially) to all your retired friends........it will be their "laugh for the day!!

From http://www.selfgrowth.com - 05/19/11 - "Anxiety":
Anxiety and
De-Cluttering Your Mind By Avril Allen
You may not realize just how many un-useful thoughts you are handling and trying to process subliminally and the energy this takes until you stop for a break. There you are looking forward to some rest and relaxation, lying on your sun bed in the garden or running in the park, and the body would be grateful if only your mind would give it a rest. And it won't, or doesn't know how to. It needs you -- the central control center of you -- to switch channels or switch off and empty out the worries and irritating circular thoughts that achieve nothing for you but just keep running on automatic, not letting you rest. I refer to true rest which is found not only in stillness and being-mode, but also in those dynamic activities which renew, refresh and inspire us to return to our goals and responsibilities with renewed strength and vitality. What I call "the thinking brain" considers it is doing its job as long as it is active and will continue to produce thoughts for you to pursue, however tedious, worrying and repetitive they are. Wouldn't it be good to reassure that part of your mind that you will be back to everyday thinking soon and then let the thoughts go by for a change? Unless you find a way to do that, you will not reap the benefits and rewards of true relaxation which are immense in terms of personal health, well-being, better relationships and workplace effectiveness. The trouble is the adrenaline buzz created by racing along in mind and body is seductive. It is easy to think that it is a good thing and if we just keep going we will get past any stuck thoughts and blocks holding us up. Adrenaline feels so much better than anxiety and fear that we feel it must be a good thing, but this is faulty thinking. Adrenaline is certainly good for short-term leaps into action but very poor long-term fuel. Adrenaline is a drug, albeit a chemical you are producing yourself in your body, and therefore you can suffer withdrawal symptoms when you stop producing it. You can feel initially exhausted as the true state of your health reveals itself. Also fear can set in that if you do not keep going, faster and faster, you will lose your edge or forget how to accomplish your goals. It can be difficult to accept that in fact a refreshed mind works so much more creatively and competently than a mind that is taxed and tired. So what to do? De-cluttering the mind tips: • Decide to experiment with slowing your mind down however scary it feels. Give yourself a time limit for this. In this way you reassure a part of your mind that you will not become a vegetable and will resume everyday thinking at a certain time or day. You have to be strategic with the psyche and negotiate or the thinking brain will fear redundancy! • Worry a lot -- but again, within strict time limits. This is a cognitive psychology method which can work well. Decide to take time to do nothing but worry -- this can be 5-15 minutes a day, but I suggest you take no longer than 20 minutes for this. Then stop! Tell yourself that you have done all the worrying you are going to do for today. In this way you are taming your mind, much as you would a wayward pet causing havoc in your home. Your brain is a wonderful tool but like technology, it is there to serve you, not to rule you, and is much too powerful to leave un-tamed. • Find a picture, a metaphor which appeals to you for letting your thoughts go by. Images of thoughts as leaves in the wind or on a river; clouds changing as they pass by in the sky representing the essence of the deeper, more essential mind work for me because I relate to wild life and nature so strongly, but you may imagine traffic passing by as you stand on a bridge over a motorway or whatever works for you. • Then smell the roses. Watch the real leaves and clouds moving on the breeze...focus on the sensations in your body you normally do not take time to notice -- variations from place to place of warmth and coolness; heaviness or lightness; tensions -- but be gently aware of them and do not struggle with them, just keep your awareness moving through your sensations. Pulses and rhythms, the dance of the blood in your veins. There will be areas in the body that feel good, we often do not notice them. In other words, experience Now. I would love to hear of your experiences and metaphors for de-cluttering the mind which may help many other people.
