Andy Rooney's thoughts on women over forty:
As I grow in age, I value women who are over forty most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over forty will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, “What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.
If a woman over forty 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 something more interesting.
A woman over forty knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of forty give a hoot what you might think about her or what she’s doing.
Women over forty 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.
A woman over forty has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn’t trust the guy with other women. Women over forty couldn’t care less if you’re attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won’t betray her.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over forty. They always know.
A woman over forty looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over forty 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 forty for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of forty-plus, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some twenty-two-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. Now 80 percent of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig, just to get a little sausage.Echoeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04598685574542214074noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062836736937104138.post-11385305632699670902013-03-25T15:16:00.000-05:002013-03-25T15:16:05.258-05:00Lesson's from Mom

Todays world is something else though and one cannot read the news without coming across a student and teacher relationship. Are they all true? Maybe or maybe not but most have been caught redhanded. After reading about another accusation close to home I was curious and did a Google search regading this topic. I almost fell out of my chair when the results popped up for a large number that were very recent events. The question I have is the cause of this high number of relationships and are they just now getting reported or seen due to the internet. Is it due to the teens growing up today looking to the teacher for more than classroom learning? Is it the teacher becoming easily attracted to a 15-17 year old that looks more like a 24 year old in appearance? Whatever the cause its becoming a very frightening educational system for both parties. <br />
<br />
Side Note: Ran across the movie "Fatal Attraction" on local TV the other night. Damn that movie scares me!<br />

Next day read that a local 44 year old Dr. went to Iowa and confronted 22 year old ex girlfriend and her new boyfriend. He shot and killed her and after shooting boyfriend he killed himself.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">How mad do you get when you research something and finally pull the trigger to purchase a laptop, TV, cell phone, iPad or any other electronic device only to find out months later its old school.

After vet checked him out and wrapped hoof for a couple days it went to X-rays. Thankfully nothing broken or damaged for this 17 year old thoroughbred. Turned out to be an abscess that rose up a few days later. Glad he's back to his old self as king of the pack. <br />
<br />
Late last week one of our three cats had some digestive issues and spending too much time in litter box. Dropped her off today for checkout that turned in to over night stay or in patient terms $$$$. Thye had to keep her to get a stool and urnie sample after being there all day trying to obtain. Heck at home seems like they go every hour. <br />

<br />
'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.' <br />
<br />
So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?' <br />
She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'<br />
<br />
The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'<br />
<br />
She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. <br />
<br />
Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.' <br />
<br />
The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!' <br />
<br />
'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.' <br />
<br />
The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. <br />
<br />
He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same! <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> </span>Echoeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04598685574542214074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062836736937104138.post-72710417085456133352012-02-09T13:58:00.000-06:002012-02-09T13:58:15.579-06:00Kennedy Unveiled ...Again<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Good interview last night with Meridith Viera on "Rock Center" that adds yet another Chapter to the double life of President John F. Kennedy. By now I think everyone on earth realizes and admits he was a womanizer so does this interview really shock anyone. It does show that he still brings attention even though he's been gone for almost 50 years. His short life touched many and gave hope to a nation. Does this interview change your views of our 35th President?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I agree that their schools need to stay open based on the ring leaders spelling of "Justice" on her sign. Perhaps someone should return to school for spelling lessons. <br />

Always nice to get together and catch up with each other during the break in our busy lives, Thanksgiving is a nice time to look at where we are and give thanks to all the good that surrounds us. Its that time of the year to reach out and help others in need. Always wonder why some only wait until Thanksgiving to help others. We should give thanks every day and treat others as we would like to be treated.Echoeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04598685574542214074noreply@blogger.com0
