I DID CHECK THIS OUT AT SNOPES..... IT IS TRUE

IMPORTANT info here....be careful!

Warning:

Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it!!!

This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but
mainly in the US and Israel.

Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to whomever you know.

Confirmed at: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/osama.asp

Origins: There are few headlines that would grab the attention of more
computer users around the world than "Osama bin Laden Captured," and
that's exactly what whoever created this lure was counting on to snare
unsuspecting victims who use Microsoft platforms.

"Osama bin Laden Captured" isn't a virus in itself; it's the text of a
message that includes a link to a file called EXPLOIT.EXE. When a
message recipient clicks on this link to view what he thinks are pictures of
Osama bin Laden's capture, he can end up downloading an executable Trojan
known as Backdoor-AZU, BKDR_LARSLP.A, Download.Trojan,
TrojanProxy.Win32.Small.b,or Win32.Slarp.

Clicking the embedded link in the "Osama bin Laden Captured" message
auto-executes a file called "EXPLOIT.EXE," which exploits a known
security hole to download the Trojan. According to McAfee Security:

The Trojan opens a random port on the victim's machine. It sends the
Port information to a webpage at IP address 66.139.77.145. The Trojan
listens on the open port for instructions and redirects traffic to other IP
addresses.

Spammers and hackers can take advantage of compromised systems by using the infected computer as a middleman, allowing them to pass information through it and remain anonymous.

Microsoft has made available updates that close the hole exploited by
this Trojan.

In case you've had a rough day, here is a stress management technique
recommended in all the latest psychological texts. The funny thing is that
it really works...

1. Picture yourself near a stream.

2. Birds are softly chirping in the cool mountain air.

3. No one but you knows your secret place.

4. You are in total seclusion from the hectic place called "the world,"

5. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade
of serenity.

6. Bubbles slowly float to the surface creating a gentle gurgling sound.

7. The water is crystal clear.

8. You can easily make out the face of the person you're holding
underwater.


See! You're smiling already.

 

By an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher

I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back.

When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually, show- and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome.

Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant.

"This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday. First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord."

[She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement.]

"Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh, oh, oh, oh!' " [Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans.]
"She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!'"

[Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning.]

"My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this."

[Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.]

"And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!"

[This kid has her legs spread and with her little hands are miming water flowing away. It was too much!]

"Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe.' They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff, they all said it was from Mom's play-center! so there must be a lot of stuff inside there."

[Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, if it's show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another Erica comes along.

Monitor Cleaning Technique

Lately, I've noticed that my monitor was not quite as clear as
when I first got it. Apparently the electrons build up on the
inside of the screen with time, and the picture deteriorates. I found a free
program that I used to 'clean' the inside of the screen and the improvement was quite noticeable.

 This is highly recommended. If you'd like to try it, simply click
on the link listed below. The program is free, works automatically,
and is safe for all monitors running any operating system.

The other day I got a phone call to come over right now... to visit a gal I am dating.

I had other plans but she met me at the door dressed only in very sexy underwear and holding a couple of short velvet ropes.

"Tie me up," she purred, "and you can do anything you want."

So, I tied her up and went fishing like I had planned.....

As we age, our priorities change, right???

"Information on sex offenders in 21 states and the District of Columbia is now available on an Internet site launched this week by the federal government. The states include Virginia.

Participation by states is voluntary and assistant Attorney General Regina Schofield said all state information is expected to be posted within six months. (Related site: National Sex Offender Public Registry)

The site does not contain any information not already made available on the Internet by each state. But it allows someone to do one search online to determine whether an individual who has been convicted in one state has moved to another.

There are more than 500,000 registered sex offenders nationwide, the Justice Department said. The recidivism rate for sex crimes is four times higher than for other offenses, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics."

Pass it on please...

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully, she explained, "It's the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone."

 
Immediately the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist, and demand an apology. Before he could say more then a word or two, the druggist said, "Now just a minute, Mr. Johnson! Listen to my side of it..."

 

"This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, only to realize that I had locked the house, and car keys were inside. I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, when I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I finally got to the store, there was a bunch of people waiting for me to open up. I got the store opened, and started waiting on these people. All the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook. I had to break open a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels. The phone was still ringing. When I came up, I cracked my head on the open cash drawer. That made me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of perfume bottles on it, and half of them hit the floor and broke. Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up. When I finally got to answer it, it was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer. And believe me Mister, as God is my witness... all I did was tell her!"

I bet he did after that day, lmao here~

I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year,
and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way,
my friends encouraged me.

And my girlfriend? She was a dream! There was only one thing
bothering me, very much indeed. That one thing was her younger
sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age.

One day little sister called and asked me to come over to check
the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived. She whispered
to me that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and
desires for me that she couldn't overcome and didn't really want to
overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once
before I got married and committed my life to her sister.
I was in total shock and couldn't say a word.

She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want
to go ahead with it just come up and get me." I was stunned.
I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.
I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the
front door. I opened the door and stepped out of the house and
walked straight towards my car.

My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his
eyes he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have
passed our little test. We couldn't ask for better man for
our daughter. Welcome to the family."

The moral of this story is:- Always keep your condoms in the car.

 

* Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.  

   * Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
 * A bumble bee  is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor. 
* Words that soak into your  ears are whispered...not yelled. 
  * Meanness don't jes' happen overnight. 
  * Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.
  * Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you. 
  * It don't take a very big person  to carry a grudge. 
  * You cannot unsay a cruel word. 
   * Every path has a few  puddles. 
   * When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
  * The best  sermons are lived, not preached. 
   * Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway. 
  * Don't judge folks by their relatives.
* Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. 
  * Live a good, honorable  life. Then when you get older and think back,  you'll enjoy it a second  time.
* Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none. 
  * Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. 
    * If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. 
* Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got. 
   * The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'. 
 * Always drink upstream from the herd. 
   * Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad  judgment. 
   * Lettin'  the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back  in. 
* If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around. 
* Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Leave the rest to God.

or a funny pic.. or link... ?

She already needed to have double knee replacements before this car accident, now she can barely walk.

A young man with his dad's Cherokee ran a red light... caused the accident and totalled both cars. Its a miracle they weren't hurt worse. Her windshield and front end were crumpled.

So much pain and suffering. She had just dropped me off and was on her way to babysit for her niece when the accident happened. 5 mins later.. and it would never have happened...

Sighing... life sure is difficult some days.

Peace~

We just heard our apartment complex has been sold to people converting them to condos. We have no idea what is coming our way and we're not ready to move financially. We're trying to find out if we can renew our lease before the merger happens in October.. Our current lease is up on Halloween.

Need some good thoughts sent our way...

"The United States on Friday criticized as "irresponsible" a reported warning by a Chinese general that China is ready to use nuclear weapons against the United States if Washington attacks his country over Taiwan.

The Financial Times reported that Zhu Chenghu, a top general of the People's Liberation Army, said he was expressing his own views and did not anticipate a conflict with Washington, but nevertheless said China would have no option but to go nuclear in the event of an attack.

"If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition onto the target zone on China's territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons," he told an official briefing for foreign journalists."

I hate seeing headlines like this....

We need peace and prosperity... kindness and love.

Not greed and power...

Sighhhhing

We finally got to see some movies that have been out awhile.

I highly recommend "Fever Pitch" cute romantic comedy about a guy whose obsessed with the Boston Red Sox and the girl who falls in love with him and tries to make it work! Very well done. Go see it to feel good about love... against the odds. Smile.

The Interpreter.... another good movie. Good suspense movie with decent acting as well. I'd recommend it for sure!

Enjoy each moment, as its the last time you'll have to enjoy that same moment. That exact moment will never be there for you again. A future one hopefully, but never the same one. Each moment is a gift. Treat it as such.

Peace and Hugs,
Buttercup

"Despite numerous warnings from security firms and financial institutions, nine percent of U.S. Internet users have lost money due to e-mail scams, according to a recent survey."

In a study of 791 users commissioned by antispam firm Mirapoint, market research firm The Radicati Group found that the most received scams were prescription drug offers, financing services, phishing e-mails and pornography.

Also prevalent was the Nigerian fraud scam, in which the sender purports to be a deposed member of royalty who needs a place to stash his money. The sender proposes use of the recipient's bank account.

Be on guard friends..... some fraudulent PayPal has been trying to get me consistently.

When your heart aches...

My little granddaughter was here for 6 weeks visiting with us. We spent out time together swimming daily, playing cards and computer games, going to the movies and just enjoying each others' company.

She left this morning.

The aching began within hours of how much love she gave and shared with me. I know she belongs at home with her family and I will move on... but it will take some time to recover.

I made myself go to the pool this afternoon, but man was it tough.

Tears are welling up... but she gave me so much joy I can't express it!

Hugs,
Aly
