IQ Test

Here's one question IQ Test to help you decide how you should spend the rest of your day......

There is a man who is mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?

Think about it first before looking at the answer...



**************************

He opens his mouth and says. "I would like to buy a pair of sunglasses."

If you got this wrong - please, just call it a day.

-- Rejoice With Me --

Forwards

Okay, I must admit right off the bat that I'm not a fan of forwards... at all.

Actually, there are very few I appreciate and I give my friends a low-down, for real for real lecture on sending forwards to me. Basically don't do it but if it must be forwarded please don't make it an everyday thing. I can't take it.

I've been having this same spiel for years now and I think I' have been successful at nipping this irritation in the bud, even if it has cost me a couple of e-mail buddies.

The recent thoughts I've had on this is that I just may be wrong for never, ever forwarding a religious message. You know the ones that say 'fwd this if you love Jesus' or 'If you've been blessed and want to bless others with the word of God then you'll fwd this or else you're doomed to hell.'

lol

Now I don't believe the dire circumstance predicted as punishment for my refusal to fwd but lately I have been re-thinking my very strict rules on fwds. I guess it wouldn't hurt to send a couple of things along. I'll make a compromise though and at least put some kind of comment at the beginning just to personalize it.

We'll see how it goes.

Hezekiah Walker- I Need You to Survive

The lyrics to this song are dedicated to the loves in my life...

I need you
You need me
We're all a part of God's body
Stand with me
Agree with me
We're all a part of God's body
It is his will
That every need be supplied
You are important to me
I need you to survive
You are important to me
I need you to survive
I pray for you
You pray for me
I love you
I need you to survive
I won't harm you
With words from my mouth
I love you
I need you to survive

This songs says so much with so little. J

Disaster Aid

I know this girl who knows the people that were affected by the hurricane in their small town. They have been surviving on the food from FEMA.

Since this girl was there visiting her folks in said small town she decided to get in the line to get a couple of boxes herself while she was there. She was just curious and didn't think it would hurt because she could then hand deliver it to a needy family who couldn't get to the relief center.

Come to find out the food these folks are receiving in the relief boxesthat are loaded in their cars and trucks include small snack packs... about 24 to a box. The boxes are all the same (how boring is that?) and include a small can of beefaroni, a packet of peanut butter, two packs of crackers (4 each pack) a small apple juice, and a Little Debbie oatmeal cake (the ones with cream in the middle). That's the extent of it.

Oh yeah, they can get as many as 4 bags of ice and two gallons of water.

I know, I know... hungry people need all the help they can get, but dang can they get a little variety. That's why this friend of mine saw so many people over at the Salvation Army truck. Even those turkey sandwiches looked better than that damn beefaroni, I bet.

Question of the day: Is the girl in the wrong if she decided to keep one of the boxes for her lunch for work because they were just the cutest little things?
