Quote of the Month...
"You know the world is going crazy when...
The best rapper is a white guy.
The best golfer is a black guy.
The tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese.
The Swiss hold the America's Cup.
France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance.
Germany doesn't want to go to war.
And the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'. Need I say more?"
-Chris Rock

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.

Quote of the Month...
Love is a decision not an emotion or feeling,
that if made from the heart will outlast anything...
Only if you can survive the pain which comes with love.
