FW: a 9/11 remembrance

  

MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL' PLEASE READ TO THE VERY END, IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!! 'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL' You say you will never forget where you were when You heard the news On September 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room With a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I Held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the Peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it Is OK..I am ready to go.' I was with his wife when he called as she fed Breakfast to their children. I held her up as she Tried to understand his words and as she realized He wasn 't coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a Woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been Knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said. 'Of course I will show you the way home - only Believe in Me now.' I was at the base of the building with the Priest Ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He Heard my voice and answered. I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, With every prayer. I was with the crew as they Were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the Believers there, comforting and assuring them that their Faith has saved them. I was in  Texas  ,  Virginia  ,  California  ,  Michigan  ,  Afghanistan  .. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me? I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew Every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me For the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the Smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... This way... Take My hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there. I did not place you in the Tower that day. You May not know why, but I do. However, if you were There in that explosive moment in time, would you have Reached for Me? Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey For you. But someday your journey will end. And I Will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may Be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are 'ready to go.' I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. God During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are Doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it Is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the Following: Stop and think and appreciate God's power In your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the Instructions. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of Me, I will be Ashamed of you before My Father' If you are not ashamed, copy and send this message...only If you believe 'Yes, I love my God. He is my Fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and Night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do Everything. Christ is my strength.' &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&   THIS NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE  USA  MANY TIMES SO KEEP IT GOING What's wrong with this picture? If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're praying. This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the birthday of the corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. 'These are federal employees,' says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU , 'on federal property and on federal time. For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately.' When asked about the ACLU's charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Corps said (cleaned up a bit), 'Screw the ACLU.' GOD Bless Our Warriors, Send the ACLU to  France May God Bless  America  , One Nation Under GOD! What's wrong with the picture? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON! I am sorry but I am not breaking this one.....Let us pray Prayer chain for our Military...please don't break it THIS NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE  USA  MANY TIMES SO KEEP IT GOING

FW: Stimulus, a New Ice Cream...

In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor, "Barocky Road." Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow. The cost is $100.00 per scoop. When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you. Thus you are left with an empty wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any ice cream. Are you feeling stimulated?

FW: Garbage Truck

Law of the Garbage Truck One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital! This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so ... Love the people who treat you right, Pray for the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it! Have a garbage-free day!

HTC Incredible

I got a HTC Incredible about a month ago.  Right away some of the issues that I had with the Droid are taken care of.  In case you don't remember here are some of problems I posted about;

• Droid didn't copy and past from email.
• The Incredible has two mail clients.  One of them is called "Gmail" and I think it comes with the android os.  The other one is simply "Mail" and it supports a long press to zoom and copy.  It takes a bit to get used to, but it works.  
• I didn't like the swipe to answer.
• The Incredible brings up two buttons which you tap.  This can be done with one hand if you are careful.
• I wasn't impressed with the battery life.
• Unfortunately the Incredible doesn't help much with this.  It seems a little worse.
• I thought that the battery cover came off way too easily.
• The Incredible battery cover is much harder to get off.  The first time I did it I had to look at the instructions again to make sure I wasn't breaking the phone.

So, it looks like HTC read my blog.  I'm flattered, but I can't take credit for all of it.  They came up with some other improvement like:

• Flash. No not the comic book kind. Flash video.  Try that on your iphone.
• Multiple home screens.  I think this is also part of the Nexus one, but it's an improvement over the Droid.
• The nifty clock thing.  OK I know it's an app, but I kind of like it.  When you first open the phone it plays an animation to represent the current weather.
• The camera is an 8 megapixel which is nice.

If you are still reading my blog, HTC, I like what you are doing.  Here are the things that I would improve.

• I would make the dual camera set up with the forward facing camera like you have on the EVO standard.
• I would look at increasing the battery size.  I've seen the battery and I believe that doubling the size would be worth it for me if it doubled the the time.  
• I've felt the heat coming off the phone when it's running the gps so I realize that this may be more of a heat
• As long as I'm looking at stuff I would look into solar paint.  If it's sturdy enough I could imagine painting this stuff on the outside of the phone and/or the outside of a belt clip phone case to charge the phone all the time.

If you are in the market for a phone you have to consider coverage area (not to mention price).  If Sprint's coverage area is suitable for your needs I would go with the EVO (which looks like the Incredible with a front facing camera).  Otherwise I would go with the Incredible over the Droid.  

FW: Golfing

Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play your foul balls. Eight Iron Off the seventh tee, Joe sliced his shot deep into a wooded ravine. He took his eight iron and clambered down the embankment in search of his lost ball. After many long minutes of hacking at the underbrush, he spotted something glistening in the leaves. As he drew nearer, he discovered that it was an eight iron in the hands of a skeleton! Joe immediately called out to his friend, "Jack, I've got trouble down here!" "What's the matter?" Jack asked from the edge of the ravine. "Bring me my wedge," Joe shouted. "You can't get out of here with an eight iron. The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelled p-u-t or p-u-t-t?'' she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct,'' he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing." The owner of a golf course was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, 'You graduated from the University of Tennessee and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?' The secretary thought a moment, and then replied,  'Everything but my earrings.' Fore! My five-year-old nephew wanted to caddy for my brother's golf game. "You have to count my strokes," my brother told him. "How much is six plus nine plus eight?" "Five," answered the nephew. "Okay," my brother said, "let's go.." Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer. Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins. And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks. A 'gimme' can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers ...neither of whom can putt very well. The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil. Scratch Golfer Two women were put together as partners in the club tournament and met on the putting green for the first time. After introductions, the first golfer asked, "What's your handicap?" "Oh, I'm a scratch golfer," the other replied. "Really!" exclaimed the first woman suitably impressed that she was  paired up with her. "Yes, I write down all my good scores and scratch out the bad ones!"

WAL-MART CAKE.................

It took me a second, but make sure you read the story under the picture.

Keep in mind this actually really did happen.

This cake is for someone who was moving from an insurance claims office.

Okay,so this is how I imagine this conversation went:

Walmart Employee: 'Hello 'dis be Walmarts, how can I help you?'

Customer: ' I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week.'

Walmart Employee: 'What you want on da cake?'

 Customer: 'Best Wishes Suzanne' and underneath that 'We will miss you'..
 

STOP LAUGHING!
