History to keep

I was in Melbourne for 2 months and I found most endearing of Melbournian or rather in a broad sense the Australian, is their pride of their roots. They are really proud of their history!! Just to prove my point, these are two maps of Melbourne city; one drawn 170 years ago and the other is a current print, you will see that the names of the streets are exactly the same. They have such good sense of belongings that they do not see fit to change street names at all. There is nothing you can do to improve or change a historical fact!! Definitely not to change the street name just to honour someone else!!

The Secret to a Happy Marriage

So, what is the secret to a happy marriage? The answer is so simply portrayed in this forwarded email that I thought if I don't pen it here, it would really really goes to waste!

To the WIFES of this world "BLESS YOU!"
and
To the husbands "YOU'RE BLESSED!".

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.

She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.

He asked her about the contents. 'When we were to be married,' she said, 'my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.'

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.

'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?'

'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'

Have a good laugh and while you are at it; wives ~ its good advice and its free; take it; husbands ~ if you see your wife knitting, crocheting, smocking like mad, say you are sorry... it is also good advice and it is also free; take it!! You are blessed that she knows how to do needlework....... or else ......

All About Hearing Aids

I just have this urge to make people laugh.... Its sad when we grew up forgetting how to laugh! Like one of my label says "Laughter Releases Endorphins" and we all need all the endorphins we can get to keep us healthy in these days of unhealthy environment and unhealthy living habits......

Growing old is fun if you know how to laugh ~~ start laughing at yourself first, laugh at your friends who can take it and laugh at jokes like these .....

An elderly gentleman… had serious hearing problems for a number of years.
He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him
fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.

The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor
said, 'Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you
can hear again.'

The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet.
I just sit around and listen to their conversations.
I've changed my will three times!'

Here's more ...... :)

Three old guys are out walking.
The first one says, 'Windy, isn't it?'
The second one says, 'No, it's Thursday!'
The third one says, 'So am I. Let's go get a beer.'

Then...

A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid.
It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art.
It's perfect.'
' Really,' answered the neighbor. 'What kind is it?'
' Twelve thirty ..'

And this is the killer.....

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a
gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said,
'You're really doing great, aren't you?'
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc:
'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''
The doctor said, 'I didn't say that. I said,
'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

I BET YOU HAD A GOOD LAUGH..... LOL

You Got "Male" !!

One of those internet jokes that is worth keeping and its good for a laugh ~~ I supposed its Gen Y's way of expressing facts of life .....

A little boy goes to his father and asks 'Daddy, how was I born?' The father answers: 'Well son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway!

Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said:

You got Male!

Quote for the Day!!

'Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply.

If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.

If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So - if you give her any crap, you will receive a ton of shit.'

Love and appreciate all the women in your life!

I like this quote… found on the internet as well. So ladies, you are phenomenon and gentlemen…. be informed, treat your ladies well and you will get double good treatment!!

Baby Carrots You Buy from Supermarkets!

Yet another email forwarded again and again, and this time it may just ring true....baby carrots you buy in the supermarkets are not baby carrots in the real sense.

The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc.

The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots, most people probably know this already.

What you may not know and should know is the following: once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them (this is the same chlorine used in your pool) since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine.

You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots, this is the chlorine which resurfaces.

At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables which are practically plastic?

Chlorine is a very well known carcinogen.

Baby carrots can be less economical… http://www.wisebread.com/baby-carrots-the-frugal-idea-that-isnt - this site will give you more details.

http://www.snopes.com/food/tainted/carrots.asp More information on this site for you to re-affirm what we read in email.

And wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_carrot) has a few external links if you need to know or understand more.

The decision is yours whether baby carrots are good or bad for your health and whether you should continue buying bagged baby carrots as your “healthy” snacks.
