The Swiss hold the America's Cup.
France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance.

Hey, for those of you men who does not know why women think and say the things they do...here is a little guide to their language. And for you women, we're on to you!!!
FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
FIVE MINUTES: If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before doing something that she wants to do.
NOTHING: This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"
GO AHEAD: This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.
LOUD SIGH: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"
THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
THANKS: A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.
WHATEVER: This means that she really isn't listening to you anymore. If you choose to keep talking, that's your problem!
Send this to the men you know to warn them about future arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology!

Quote of the Month
Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success. Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

Sunscreen....
The lyrics to Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen, by Mary Schmich:
Wear sunscreen.
-If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
-Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
-Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.
-Do one thing every day that scares you.
-Sing.
-Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
-Floss.
-Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
-Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
-Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
-Stretch.
-Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
-Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
-Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.
-Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
-Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
-Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
-Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
-Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
-Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
-Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
-Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.
-Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
-Respect your elders.
-Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
-Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.
-Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
-But trust me on the sunscreen.
If we can all learn to live by these words, this world would be a better place.

Good judgement comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgement...

At least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religous or political ideas.

Quote of the Week!
Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. I am not saying you can't change the world, right wrongs, or replace evil with good. Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you don't fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have difficulty changing it. Moreover, if you don't fully accept the situation, you will never really know if the situation should be changed.

-For Kaeti, My Little Girl....My Little Angel...
Kaeti Lynn
There came an angel
On a warm sunny day
A sparkle in her eye
That took me away
I just couldn’t leave her
Not even when the day was done
My love she had awakened
My heart she had won
At this I had known
I could not let her go
For she lit my heart on fire
And made my face glow
To this very day
I’m glad that she’s here
God granted my wish
An Angel so dear
I’ll keep her in my heart
Her face has a shine
I love this special girl
This Angel of mine.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. This is an appropriate time for us to learn about the impacts of this disease, the value of early detection and available treatment options.
The statistics associated with prostate cancer are truly sobering: it is the second most commonly diagnosed form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among American men. In 2004 prostate cancer will be diagnosed in about 200,000 American men and more than 31,000 men are expected to die from the disease. On average - a husband, father, son, brother, grandfather or friend dies from prostate cancer every 17 minutes of every day.
Since early diagnosis of cancer or other prostate disease greatly increases the chances of a cure, it is very important that men discuss the various screening tests and detection procedures with their physicians. Unfortunately, in its earliest stages prostate cancer may not cause recognizable symptoms, so routine examinations to detect cancer early are important. Although screening guidelines may vary, most physicians agree that men over age 50, or men over age 40 who are African-American or have a family history of the disease, should be screened for prostate cancer annually.
All men should understand that early detection and early treatment of this insidious disease can help preserve your lifestyle and save your life. To learn more about prostate cancer, I encourage you to contact a healthcare professional. You may also want to review Internet sites, such as the one maintained by the American Cancer Society at http://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/cri_2x.asp?sitearea=lrn&dt=36. It contains a wealth of useful information about prostate health, available tests, treatment options and nutritional advice.
Please take time to consider the importance of learning more about prostrate cancer for yourself, or your loved ones. You are too important not to take time to learn and act upon the information about this disease.

CARPE DIEM
"SEIZE THE DAY"
'Tis only in their dreams that men truly be free,
'Twas always thus, and always thus will be-
Keating
Dead Poets Society reminds us to seize each day and cherish them dearly. Every day opportunities await us and we must decide whether to take the chance or play it safe. I encourage you to take the risks, for nothing is gained without them. It is this "Carpe Diem" spirit to which this page is dedicated. May it live in your heart always.
Another Day of Work!!
As usual...work sucked! People whining, not listening, doing their own things, fighting, just a bunch of non-professionals...hehe. All I can do sometimes is laugh and ask myself if all this effort is worth it. But everyone has bad days at work, and in the future, try saying the following...rather than what's really on your mind. (This list was given to me by the gal somewhere far away, but close to me :)
- TRY SAYING: Perhaps I can work late.
- INSTEAD OF: When the fuck do you expect me to do this?
- TRY SAYING: I'm certain that is not feasible.
- INSTEAD OF: No fucking way!
- TRY SAYING: Really?
- INSTEAD OF: You've got to be shitting me.

- INSTEAD OF: What the fuck?
- TRY SAYING: I'm not sure I can implement this.
- INSTEAD OF: Fuck it, it won't work.
- TRY SAYING: I'll try to schedule that.
- INSTEAD OF: Why the hell didn't you tell me sooner?
- TRY SAYING: Are you sure this is a problem?
- INSTEAD OF: Who the fuck cares?
- TRY SAYING: He's not familiar with the problem.
- INSTEAD OF: He's got his head up his ass.
- TRY SAYING: So you weren't happy with it?
- INSTEAD OF: Kiss my ass.
- TRY SAYING: I'm a bit overloaded at this moment.
- INSTEAD OF: Fuck it, I'm on salary.
- TRY SAYING: I don't think you understand.
- INSTEAD OF: Shove it up your ass.
- TRY SAYING: I love a challenge.
- INSTEAD OF: This job sucks.
- TRY SAYING: You want me to take care of that?
- INSTEAD OF: Who the hell died and made you boss?
- TRY SAYING: I see.
- INSTEAD OF: Bite me.
- TRY SAYING: Yes, we really should discuss it.
- INSTEAD OF: Another fucking meeting?
- TRY SAYING: I don't think this will be a problem.
- INSTEAD OF: I really don't give a shit.
- TRY SAYING: He's somewhat insensitive.
- INSTEAD OF: He's a fucking prick.
- TRY SAYING: She's an aggressive go-getter.
- INSTEAD OF: She's a ball-busting bitch.
- TRY SAYING: I think you could use more training.
- INSTEAD OF: What the fuck are you doing?
Now....go practice!!!

The Day of Rememberance!!!
September 11, 2001
In Memory
What was it you had said?
Why did you have to go?
Each simple little memory
Now passes by so slow.
I am stuck in the yesterday
Not wanting to accept
The horrid truth that you are gone
Your life taken without threat
This morning you awoke
To face a brand new day
But a cold-hearted terrorist
Took that gift away
Though the grave cry for the lost
In the settling of the dust
They failed to shake our foundation
For in God we put our trust.

How does my site look?
My first day of experimenting with this site...many thanx to Kimmy for helping out. It's only in its beginning stages...it'll be better later. Let me know how it looks.
Tribute to 9-11
Since the time is near to remember the tragedy of Sept. 11th, I thought I'd share some interesting facts on the number 11. This was originally emailed to me by a friend.
It could be a forced coincidence, but in any case this is interesting. You decide for yourself:
1) New York City has 11 letters.
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
4) George W. Bush has 11 letters. This could be a mere coincidence... (Could it be?)
Now here is what is interesting...
1) New York is the State # 11
2) The first plane crushing against the Twin Towers was flight #11.
3) Flight # 11 was carrying 92 passengers Adding this number gives us: 9+2=11.
4) Flight # 77 who also hit the towers, was carrying 65 passengers Adding this: 6+5=11.
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11. Adding this: 9+1+1=11
6) The date is equal to the emergency number 911. Adding this is: 9+1+1=11
Now we have a very upsetting piece..
1) The total number of victims inside the planes are 254: 2+5+4=11
2) The day September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year: 2+5+4=11
3) After September 11, there are 111 days more to the end of the year.
4) The tragedy of 3/11/2004 in Madrid also adds to: 3+1+1+2+4=11.
5) The tragedy in Madrid happened 911 days after the tragedy of the Twin Towers. Spooky!! Read on.....!
This is really eerie,,,,, This is something to think about!
Since America is typically represented by an Eagle. Saddam and Bin Laden should have read up on their Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible). Quran (9:11) For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.
Note the verse number!!!!!
