Joke time: Giving Up Wine
From my inbox.
I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.
I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, 'If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?'
'No, I had to stop drinking years ago', the homeless woman told me.
'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked.
'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.'
'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked.
'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!'
'Well, I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.'
The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'
I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.'

Put your car keys beside your bed at night!
Here's a good tip for us to share and to pass it on to our friends:
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents.. your Doctor's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across.Make sense, doesn't it?
Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or if someone is trying break in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.
This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this:
It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.
If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around... after a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.
And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there ...
This is something that should really be shared with everyone.. It could save a life or from a sexual abuse crime.
P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.
It's a good idea for Mums, Dads, Grandpas/mas to carry the car keys with her/him in case she/he falls outside and no one hears her/him. She/he can activate the car alarm when there's a problem.
A good idea for men and women alike.

Titanium rings
I am not the type of girl who loves wearing jewelries. I have them. I love to have them. But I don't wear bracelets, necklaces or even earrings on a daily basis. The only jewelry that I love to wear are rings. I owned a lot of rings. I only needed a diamond ring and titanium rings to replaced my lost wedding ring to make my collection complete!

The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love. Like many flowers, different colors of tulips also often carry their own significance... The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine. -- SOURCE
Birthday gift
My son's birthday is coming up soon and I wanted to surprise him with a golf bag. But with the huge selection of golf bags I see online, it is kind of hard to choose which one would suit him the most.
I know the golf bag has to be his favorite color, green. A stand would be nice so that the bag doesn't get muddy. And it has to have wheels for ease in transporting. Do you think he needs all these basic requirement?
Portable Air Conditioner
From our place, a centralized air conditioner is not very advisable since we have longer winter days than summer. But during the peak of summer, it can get too hot and quite uncomfortable to sleep at night. So most of the people I know have portable air conditioner at home. It's small, it's compact, and can easily be move from one room to the next. I told my husband that we should get one for next summer.

Q & A [5]
Either can or cartoon.
I was right in the middle of working my butt off when the electricity went off and the generator didn't kick in.
I don't have any of those. I'm quite happy with my mp3 songs in CD.
I don't think so. I think I would make a huge mess!
My parents are strict and so is my eldest brother. And yes, I am quite strict when it comes to my kids too. Though lately I've been trying to be a little flexible.
From that's my answer!
No fax payday loans
Christmas is just around the corner. And this is the season of loving and giving!
My kids are already making their Christmas list. They want this and they want that. They want so many things they have a hard time narrowing it down. Every year, I go through their list and choose one gift that will be "from Santa," another gift from mommy and daddy, and one from the other sibling.
If you are a bit low on cash, you might want to consider Payday Loan. Get instant online approval. No credit needed. If you need a quick loan but don’t have access to a fax machine, they also have the No Fax Pay Day Loans that will get you approved, fast and easy.

Lap-Band
Journeylife has a comprehensive weight-loss surgery program known as laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding or simply known as lap-band cincinnati. If dieting and exercising hasn’t work for you, then maybe this new Lap-band procedure may be for you. This procedure does not require cutting, sampling, rerouting of intestines or partial removal of stomach. A surgeon simply inserts an inflatable gastric band through laparoscopic incisions and positions the band around the upper portion of your stomach. And this procedure, if it didn’t work, is completely reversible and adjustable.
