As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her! .. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth?
One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese?
One index, 2 indices?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
PS. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"?
You lovers of the English language might enjoy this .
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report ?
We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP , you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP , for now my time is UP, so......... Time to shut UP.....!
Well as you all know efx is back up & running for now. Not in perfect running form but running. So for those of you who want to back up your writing ...you better run the hell over there QUICK. lol . I will keep my place here and I will be at efx till the end. Some of you may want to mirror post, or whatever. I write different blogs for each place. I love efx, it is home place for me. I adore all the bloggers over there. But we have to keep in mind...it's probably gonna bust again. Without anyone steering the ship, it's a matter of time. Chica (Kelly) and others are doing what that can do. But they're limited without total control. A big thanks to all you who truly care :) Now go back up your stuff. :) love*
WooHoo I see some of you are catching on to this like QUICK. *ahem* Laurie ! it looks like your place now. I love the familar design ! Lisa & Laurie will get their design on , they have too *wink And then they'll get mine on,,hahahaha !!! Y'all know this is true. It's all good though, they still love me..right ! I'm getting better at checking on updates, although I can't tell if you're online or not so that kinda sucks. I miss our chats back & forth , especially over @ Cam's place. I'm sure we'll all get it together eventually. I'm still trying to make sure I've added all the efx'ers. If I've missed you, please add me to your neighborhood ;) Okay gonna play with this stuff some more. love & hugs*
The old jailhouse in my little town that is now a nice cozy steakhouse! With the best steaks in town. My favorite is their grilled shrimp & cheese grits, yeah I said grits ;) Delicious !!!
The picture here is one of my children's old tree house. It sits in the very back of our property. As you can see it hasn't been used in a very long time. I can look out my kitchen window and see it sitting looking so abandoned. It makes me sad at how fast the years have flew by. I can visualize the children and their friends climbing in & out. The sleepovers spent out there....the sound of their radios blarring . I miss those days so much. But now.... My grandkids are starting to show some interest in it lately. And I am excited, it's time to bring it back to life. Did I mention I AM EXCITED !!!!!!
Ahhh man ! I have tried efx @ least 3 times today. I'm worried that it really is gone . Although I do like this place, verses other blogs I've visited and some I've tried. Besides I have a myspace too where a good bit of my family are. I have to have some privacy, my daughter has a blog here also but she's the only in the family. She's cool, we can rant together anyway, or just talk. She swears like a sailor though. ;) And is really funny. Her favorite word being f*ck,.. *gracious =) . Yep, she has a sailor mouth. She doesn't blog as much. Anyway, I think I could be content here, as long as I can keep up. I have been so bored over @ myspace I am doing all those surveys. Have you ever realized that most are just silly & stupid ? eh, I do them anyway. I like some more than others. How was everyone's fourth, mine sucked. It rained all day, had some sister drama going on. Blah, having a big family is tough sometimes. :) It always the sisters into it, over something stupid. Now this weekend they're okay again. *sheesh * I'm gonna stop the holiday gatherings. lol. Think I'll stay at home. And I'm the one going through menopause.. When I finished my post last night, I forgot to add a title and this box comes up giving me title ideas from topic I was writing on. I thought that was pretty cool. I'm gonna take one for this post and see what I get. So this title is self-title. lol. love. God Bless
I tried holding on @ the other place as long as i could. It's looking like it's gone. Oh no my baby's gone. I could write a song over this. haha. I really am upset about it. Oh well, I see everybody has came on over here. At least that makes me happy. After all it is the PEOPLE that made that place our home. So it's good seeing most here. Laurie sent me a message to let me know, glad she did ;) Thanks Laurie ~hug. I do like this place alright tho, I just haven't been over to check my page out in awhile, well cause the other blog was working. In the past i have met some really interesting bloggers over here. I don't have a shout box because I chose my music player instead. It's okay I got to where i don't shout to much anyway . ;) Now I will start kicking around in here again, see if I can learn it all over. love and hugs~ ( now how i get outta here. hahahah ;)
Here's a glimpse into a family tradition . I grew up seeing men/women fight fire. This is a video my nephew put together. His dad, grandfather, Uncles, and brothers are fire fighters. My dad has passed, and this was what he lived for. A true Fire Fighter. The video is a bit long, but the first few seconds give you a glimpse of what he does. The fire is a old middle school building. It was out of control when they arrived at the scene. *Enjoy
