http://www.newsforage.com/2014/09/australian-man-has-saved-over-24.html Australian man has saved over 2.4 million babies by donating his rare blood type for the past 60 years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jokes Working for a pediatrician calls for stifling a chuckle from time to time. When a frantic mother phoned to tell us her baby had a high temperature of 102, we had to know whether she was taking the reading under the arm, in the mouth or elsewhere. So we asked, "How are you taking it?" Her reply, "Oh, I'm holding up pretty well!" ~~~~~~~~~~ While attending a marriage seminar on communication, David and his wife listened to the instructor declare, "It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other. He addressed the man, "Can you name your wife's favorite flower?" David leaned over, touched his wife's arm and whispered, "Pillsbury All-purpose, isn't it?" ~~~~~~~~~~ Ten Tips for Ski Season This is to remind you skiers how to prepare for the ski season and to remind non-skiers why they have the sense NOT to ski. 10. Visit your local butcher and pay $35 to sit in the walk-in freezer for half an hour. Afterwards, burn two $50 dollar bills to warm up. 9. Go to the nearest hockey rink and walk across the ice 20 times in your ski boots carrying two pairs of skis, accessory bag and poles. Pretend you are looking for your car. 8. For ski boot simulation at home, put a pebble in your street shoes and tighten a C-clamp around your toes. 7. Buy an expensive pair of gloves and immediately throw one away. 6. Go to McDonald's and insist on paying $6.50 for a hamburger. Be sure to wait in the longest line. 5. Clip a lift ticket to the zipper of your jacket and ride a motorcycle fast enough to make the ticket lacerate your face. 4. Drive slowly for five hours - anywhere - as long as it's in a snowstorm and you're following an 18-wheeler. 3. Fill a blender with ice, hit the pulse button and let the spray blast your face. You'd almost believe you're skiing in front of a snowmaker! 2. Dress up in as many clothes as you can and then proceed to take them off because you have to go to the bathroom. 1. Repeat all of the above every weekend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quotes "Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it." - Swedish Proverb "Loving is the most unmitigated and courageous act I perform in a day." - Mary Anne Radmacher "Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand." - Emily Kimbrough "May a thread of comfort be woven through your difficult days." - Mary Anne Radmacher "True love never comes with conditions. Become a source of unconditional love." - Jonathan Lockwood Huie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RANDOM TIDBITS Average wage for the workmen who dug the Erie canal: $1 and 1 quart of whiskey per day. The United States bought Alaska from Russia in 1867 for 2 cents an acre. It cost $3 million to build the Titanic and $100 million to make the movie. The price of a box of Girl Scout cookies when they debuted in 1936: 25 cents. Babe Ruth's salary in 1932 was $80,000. In 2005 Sammy Sosa's salary was $17 million. In 1920 the average check at a diner was 28 cents. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Health Tip Flossing Use dental floss before you brush instead of after as many people do. Flossing after brushing can leave some of the loosened fragments still in your mouth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thrifty Tip Button Holders Kids constantly losing their button? Sew them on with un-waxed dental floss and you have “super thread” that will stand up to rough wear and tear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ponder Worthy and Inspirational-Both from MountainWings Big Storm (So true!) The bigger the storm in your life, the easier it is to convert back to old survival habits. ~Dr. Jack Groppel~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ONE ONE is the smallest whole number, yet the most significant. We often think of the big numbers; hundreds, thousands, and millions. Life really boils down to ONE. One aspect of ONE, I am divinely commanded to help at least ONE person, each day. That does two things. First, it helps the other person. Whether it is just a compliment, a dollar given to a homeless person, or even something so small as holding the door open for someone, it is help. It helps ease the burden of life for someone. Second, it makes me focus on someone other than myself. This world is geared to make us self-centered. After all, we have enough stuff of our own to deal with without trying to solve someone else's problems. We don't have enough money for us so we focus on the two outside letters of "money" instead on the three inside letters. We don't have enough time for us. We don't have enough joy, peace, and happiness for us. We need our relationships improved. We need a compliment and an uplift. We need help. We often don't have time to think of helping someone else. There is a funny thing about helping some"one" else. When you are helping someone else, for that moment in time, your own problems are diminished. I will tell you to do as I try to do, "Help someone every day." If you don't have anything to give them or to spare, give them this. Give them MountainWings. Suppose you asked, or emailed, or called ONE person and got them to join MountainWings? It won't cost you one penny. It will only take a few minutes, probably less than three. During those three minutes, your problems will diminish. Maybe you will have to call three people to get ONE to join. That's nine minutes. As I write this, I think to myself, "When was the last time I personally got anyone to join MountainWings?" It has been so long, I can't remember. I meet a lot of people. Most of them need help in one form or another. Most of them would be greatly helped by MountainWings. Today, I will get at least ONE. I will help at least ONE. Will it change the world if you get ONE person to join? It will change THAT person's world. Everyday. What a gift! Jesus said, "I tell you there is more joy in heaven over ONE sinner who changes his heart and life, than over ninety-nine good people who don't need to change." (Luke 15:7 NCV) ONE Help ONE person today. ~A MountainWings Original~ Change a life, give a friend MountainWings. See you tomorrow.
