A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success.

“Never leave that till tomorrow”, he said, “Which you could do today.”

This is the man who discovered electricity.

You’d think more of us would listen to what he had to say.

I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d say it had a lot to do with fear.

Fear of failure. Fear of pain. Fear of rejection.

Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong?

What if you make a mistake you can’t undo?

Whatever it is we're afraid of, one thing holds true: that by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it.

It can feel like we're carrying around a giant tumor.

And you thought I was speaking metaphorically.

“The early bird catches the worm”; “A stitch in time saves nine”; “He who hesitates is lost”.

We can't pretend we haven't been told.

We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day'.

Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves.

We have to make our own mistakes.

We have to learn our own lessons.

We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant.

That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping.

And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.

"After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn't mean possession and company doesn't mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child.

And you learn to build your roads today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much, so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, that you really do have worth, and you learn, and you learn..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“ … et après tu apprends la subtile différence entre tenir une main … et emprisonner une âme.. et tu apprends qu’aimer ne veux pas signifier posséder … et que la compagnie de quelqu’un ne veut pas représenter la sécurité … et tu apprends que les baisers ne sont pas des contrats et que les cadeaux ne sont pas des promesses … et tu commences a accepter tes défaites avec la tête haute et les yeux grands ouverts avec la grâce d’un adulte et non la douleur d’un enfant … et tu apprends a écrire tes chemins aujourd’hui car la terre de demain est trop instable pour des projets … et après un certain temps tu apprends que même le soleil peut brûler si tu prends de trop … alors tu plantes ton propre jardin et décore toi-même ton âme au lieu d’attendre que quelqu’un t’apporte des fleurs … et tu apprends que tu peux endurer … que tu as une force incroyable … que tu vaux bien plus que tout au monde … et tu apprends, tu apprends, tu apprends … "

~ Mesdames et vos sacs ~

nobody@ipernity.com (~ Bibi ~) — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 11:43:57 +0000

Je n’y avais jamais pensé. Et vous?

Avez-vous déjà remarqué les jeunes filles qui posent leurs sacs à mains sur le sol des toilettes au restaurant – et qui lorsqu’elles retournent à leur table le posent sur la table - Ca arrive souvent !

Ce n’est pas toujours « la cuisine du restaurant » qui rend l’estomac malade. Quelquefois “ce que vous ne connaissez pas” vous fait du mal” ! Lisez la suite...

Ma mère était très mécontente quand des invitées venues à la maison jetaient leurs sacs à mains sur le plan de travail de la cuisine où elle était en train de préparer un repas. Elle a toujours dit que les sacs à mains sont très sales à cause de tous les endroits où ils ont séjourné. Elle était intelligente, ma mère !!!

Un sac à mains c’est ce que toute femme transporte toujours avec elle. Alors que nous savons à peu près ce qu’il y a dans le sac, savons-nous vraiment ce qu’il y a à l’extérieur ?

Shauna Lake a testé plusieurs sacs à mains et les a soumis à un test – avec des résultats surprenants. Vous allez peut-être réfléchir à deux fois à l’endroit où vous placerez votre sac dorénavant. Les femmes transportent leurs sacs partout ; du bureau au toilettes publiques ainsi que dans la voiture.

La plupart des femmes portent un sac à mains, mais avez-vous déjà songé où votre sac séjourne pendant la journée ? 'Je conduis un bus, donc mon sac reste parterre dans le bus très longtemps’ dit une femme. ‘sur le plancher de ma voiture et dans les toilettes’ ‘Je mets mon sac dans les chariots des supermarchés’ dit une femme. Je le pose parterre dans les toilettes quand je change la couche de mon bébé’ dit une autre femme ‘et bien sûr parterre dans ma maison qui elle devrait être propre’.

Nous avons donc décidé de voir si les sacs à mains hébergeaient beaucoup de bactéries. Nous avons appris comment les tester aux Laboratoires Nelson de Salt Lake, et avons donc mis à l’examen le sac moyen de la femme d’aujourd’hui. La plupart des femmes nous ont dit qu’elles ne pensaient jamais à ce qui pouvait se trouver en dessous de leurs sacs. La plupart également nous ont dit qu’elles posaient régulièrement leurs sacs sur la table de la cuisine et sur les plans de travail où la nourriture est préparée.

La plupart des dames à qui nous avons parlé dirent qu’elles ne seraient pas surprises d’apprendre que leurs sacs soient un peu sales. Il ressort en fait que ces sacs étaient si incroyablement sales que même les microbiologistes qui les ont testés en ont été choqués !

Amy Karen, Microbiologiste des Laboratoires Nelson dit que presque tous les sacs testés n’étaient pas seulement très fortement chargés en bactéries, mais surtout qu’ils étaient chargés d’une forme très virulente de bactéries. Les pseudomonas peuvent causer des infections aux yeux, le staphylocoque doré peut provoquer des infections cutanées graves, et la salmonelle et l’ e-coli trouvés sur les sacs à mains peuvent rendre les gens très malades. Dans un échantillon, quatre des cinq sacs à mains examinés se sont révélés positifs à la salmonelle, et ce n’est pas le pire. ‘Il y a une contamination fécale sur les sacs’ dit Amy.

Les sacs en cuir ou en vinyle ont tendance à être plus propres que les sacs en tissu et le style de vie semble jouer un rôle. Les gens avec des enfants semblent avoir des sacs plus sales que ceux sans enfants, à une exception près.

Le sac d’une femme célibataire fréquentant des boîtes de nuit a présenté la pire contaminations de tous. 'un certain type d’excrément (féces), ou de vomi’ a déclaré Amy.

La morale de cette histoire – votre sac à mains ne vous tuera pas, mais il a le potentiel de vous rendre très malade si vous continuez à le placer dans les lieux où l’on mange. Utilisez des crochets pour le suspendre, dans la maison ou dans les toilettes et ne le mettez pas sur votre bureau, la table du restaurant ou sur le comptoir de votre cuisine.

Les experts disent qu’on devrait penser à son sac à mains comme on le ferait avec ses chaussures. « Mettre une paire de chaussures sur le plan de travail de la cuisine est la même chose que d’y poser un sac à mains ». – votre sac à mains s’est retrouvé dans des endroits où les gens ont éternué, toussé, craché, uriné, vomi, etc… ! désirez-vous vraiment ramener cela à la maison ?

Les microbiologistes du Laboratoire Nelson ont aussi conseillé de nettoyer les sacs à mains. Lavez les sacs en tissu et utilisez du nettoyant pour le cuir pour le dessous de vos sacs à mains. CE TEXTE MERITE D’ETRE PARTAGE !!! ET MESSIEURS DE GRACE, PASSEZ L’INFORMATION A VOS EPOUSES , FIANCEES OU VOS FILLES!

One beautiful December evening Pedro and his

girlfriend Rosita were sitting by the side of the ocean.

It was a romantic full moon, when Pedro said,

'Hey, mamacita, let's do Weeweechu.'

Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!' said Rosita.

Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu.

I love you and it's the perfect time,' Pedro begged.

'But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the

moon.' replied Rosita.

Please, corazoncito, just once, do Weeweechu with me.'

Rosita looked at Pedro and said, 'OK, one time,

we'll do Weeweechu.'

Pedro grabbed his guitar and they both sang.....

'Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry

Christmas,

Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.'

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Un type marié revient d'un voyage d'affaires en Chine où il a pris du bon temps avec quelques jolis yeux bridés.

Seulement, quand il revient, il se rend compte que son truc est tout vert.

Il cache d'abord la chose à sa femme tant bien que mal et s'en va voir un docteur.

- Ha ha... on a été en Chine cher ami ...?

- Ben oui !

- Et on a fait des bêtises avec les petites chinoises ?

- Ben oui !

- Ben c'est très grave !.... Malheureusement, on ne peut rien faire pour ça, il va falloir le couper.

Le gars n'en croit pas ses oreilles ! Il décide donc de consulter un deuxième médecin qui lui confirme le même diagnostic.

Le mec est complètement déprimé et va voir un urologue de renommée mondiale qui, lui aussi, confirme le diagnostic.

Il décide alors d'avouer ses escapades à sa femme qui, après une bonne engueulade, lui conseille d'aller voir un médecin Chinois directement sur place, en Chine. Apres tout, ils sont sûrement familiers avec cette infection.

Le gars retourne donc en Chine et prend rendez-vous avec un médecin réputé.

En l'examinant, le médecin Chinois ricane et dit :

- Hi hi, on est venu en Cine lécemment ?

- Ben oui !

- Et l'on a fait bêtises avec petites cinoises ?

- Ben oui !

- Et on a été voil docteul eulopéen ?

- Ben oui !

- Et docteul eulopéen a dit fallait couper ?

- Ben oui !

- Et bien non ! Pas besoin couper.

Le type n'en croit pas ses oreilles ! Il est fou de joie.

C'est alors que le médecin Chinois précise :

- Non, docteul eulopéen nul ! pas besoin couper, va tomber tout seul..

On a demandé au Dalai Lama.

« Qu'est ce qui vous surprend le plus dans l'humanité ? »

Il a répondu :

« Les hommes ». Parce qu'ils perdent la santé pour accumuler de l'argent

Ensuite ils perdent de l'argent pour retrouver la santé.

Et à penser anxieusement au futur, ils oublient le présent de telle sorte qu'ils finissent par non vivre ni le présent ni le futur.

Ils vivent comme s'ils n'allaient jamais mourir... Et meurent comme s'ils n'avaient jamais vécu. »

~ The Husband Store ~

~ Bibi ~ has added a post:

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband.

Among the instructions at the entrance

is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a

husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 2 -

These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

"That's nice", she thinks, "but I want more."

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 -

These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have

Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to

this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as

proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just a cross the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited

Seadragon ...

Seadragon

Seadragon is an incubation project resulting from the acquisition of Seadragon Software in February. Its aim is nothing less than to change the way we use screens, from wall-sized displays to mobile devices, so that visual information can be smoothly browsed regardless of the amount of data involved or the bandwidth of the network. A clever upcoming software technology, which will probably have a many applications.

It can for example come up with an accurate multidimensional

representation of a cathedral using the collective visual memory as its

seed (photos & drawings from the web), as shown in this demo:

A little boy and girl go trick or treating. They knock on the door of this house and the man who answers it says, "Well, you two are awful cute. Who are you suppose to be?"

"We're Jack and Jill" she replied.

The man says, "You can't be Jack and Jill, you're black!" So, they go off and a while later they come back dressed differently.

They ring the doorbell and once again the man opens the door. "Well now, that is just too darn cute. Who are you this time?"

"We're Hansel and Gretel" says the little boy.

"Well, I hate to disappoint you son, but you can't be Hansel and Gretel because you're black," he replied.

Heads hung low, they leave. Not too much later the man hears the bell ring again. This time when he opens the door, there stand the two children, but this time they are BUCK NAKED!! "Oh my!” And just who are you supposed to be now?" he asks.

"Chocolate M&M's," said the little girl. "I'm plain. He's got nuts."

URINE TEST

(I sure would like to know who wrote this one! They deserve a HUGE pat on the back!)

<< Like a lot of folks in this country (USA), I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who DON'T have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet! I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their butts, doing drugs, while I work. Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

Something has to change in this country -- and soon! >>

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call.

The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.

Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked.

Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while Connor was born.

The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom.

Connor began to cry.

The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.

Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place ... smack his little ass again!"

You may know, but worth reviewing. . . . please read below and watch video.

Watch this video and learn what not to use to put out a grease fire.

This is a great video. Everyone should watch it and take heed. When I was stationed in Charleston Navy base at the Fire Fighting Training school we would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10 foot pole toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students. The water, being heavier than the oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembles a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room. Also do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.

~ Water or Wine? ~

~ Bibi ~ has added a post:

(please note ... this is ONLY a joke. I'm not promoting anyone to drink alcohol ... )

Water vs Wine

As Ben Franklin said: "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria".

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.
