Check Your Driver's License!!

Check your Driver's License!!!!!

I definitely removed mine!

I suggest you all do the same.

Now you can see anyone's Driver's License on the Internet, including your own!

I just searched for mine and there it was...picture and all! Thanks Homeland Security ! Go to the web site, and check it out.


It's unbelievable!

Just enter your name, city and state to see  yours on file.

After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked 'Please Remove.' This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement.

Please notify all your friends so they can protect themselves, too. Believe me they will thank you for it!

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road

Why did the chicken cross the road?
 

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

 
JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and
dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

 
HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me
uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it
deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......

 

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must
first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes
after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is
help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT'
problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

 
OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he
wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn
from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to
give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and
not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

 
GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road We just want to
know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is
either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

 
COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image
of the chicken crossing the road...

 
ANDERSONCOOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been
allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

 
JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it!
It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's
intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

 
NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his
eyes and the way he walks.

 
PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

 
MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a
standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price
dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider
information.

 
DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the
chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

 
ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

 
GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told
us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

 
BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the
chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it
experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its
life long dream of crossing the road.

 
ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

 
JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

 
BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but
will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check
book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new
platform is much more stable and will never
cra...#@&&^(C%.......
reboot.

 
ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the
chicken?

 
BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of
chicken?

 
ALGORE:
I invented the chicken!

 
COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

 
DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?

 
AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

Lipstick

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
 

Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the next day the girls would put them back.

 
Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses).

 
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required .

 
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

 
Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror. 

 
 There are teachers.... and then there are educators.

Great Song Performed by Julie Andrews on her 69th Birthday

Julie Andrews Turns 69, this is hysterical  

To commemorate her birthday , actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan 's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.

One of the musical numbers she performed was "My Favorite Things"  from the legendary movie "Sound Of Music".   Here are the lyrics she used:
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > > >
(Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!
 
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and  handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
   These are a few of my favorite things.


Cadillacs and cataracts ,and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
   These are a few of my favorite things.


When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
  When the knees go bad,

I simply remember my favorite things,
      And then I don't feel so bad.


Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
     These are a few of my favorite things.


Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',  
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
   When we remember our favorite things.


When the joints ache, When the hips break,
      When the eyes grow dim,
  Then I remember the great life I've had,
       And then I don't feel so bad.

(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores. Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would appreciate it.

Cheating At The Gas Pump


THIS IS SO WORTH READING ...Written by a Georgia man

This is a true story, so read it carefully
.


On April 24, 2008, I stopped at a Kangaroo BP gas station, located at 1325 Main Street , Cartersville , GA. My truck's gas gauge was on 1/4 of a tank. I use the mid-grade, which was priced at $3.71 per gallon. When my tank is at this point, it takes somewhere around 14 gallon's to fill it up.  When the pump showed 14 gallons had been pumped I began to slow it down, then to my surprise it went to 15, then 16. I even looked under my truck to see if it was being spilled. It was not. Then it showed 17 gallons had been pumped.  It stopped at almost 18 gallons.

This was very strange to me, since my truck has only an 18 gallon tank.  I went on my way a little confused, then on the evening news I heard a report that 1 out of 4 gas stations had calibrated their pumps to show more gas had been pumped than a person actually got.

Here is how to check a pump to see if you are getting the right amount:

Whichever grade you are using, put EXACTLY 10 GALLONS in your tank, then look at the dollar amount, if the dollar amount is not EXACTLY 10 times the price of the fuel you have chosen, then the pumps are rigged. In my case as I said the mid-grade was $3.71 9/10 per gallon, my dollar amount for 10 gallons should have been $37.19. If I had only check the pump. It doesn't matter where you pump gas, please check the 10 gallon price. If you do find a station that is cheating, contact the Georgia Agriculture Department, and direct your comments to Tommy Irvin, Commissioner. In
other states contact proper authorities.


We need to put a stop to this outrageous cheating of customers. The gas companies are making enough profits at honest rates. Tell everyone you know about this problem.

Sand And Stone

Sand and Stone


 
TWO    FRIENDS    WERE    WALKING
THROUGH    THE    DESERT.
DURING    SOME    POINT    OF    THE
JOURNEY,    THEY    HAD     AN
ARGUMENT;    AND    ONE    FRIEND
SLAPPED    THE    OTHER    ONE
IN    THE     FACE.


 
THE    ONE    WHO    GOT    SLAPPED
WAS    HURT,    BUT    WITHOUT
SAYING    ANYTHING,
WROTE    IN    THE    SAND:

TODAY    MY    BEST    FRIEND
SLAPPED   ME    IN    THE    FACE.

THEY  KEPT    ON    WALKING,
UNTIL  THEY    FOUND     AN    OASIS,
WHERE    THEY    DECIDED
TO  TAKE    A    
BATH

THE    ONE     WHO    HAD    BEEN
SLAPPED     GOT    STUCK    IN    THE
MIRE !    AND    STARTED    DROWNING,
BUT    THE    FRIEND  SAVED    HIM.

AFTER    HE    RECOVERED    FROM
THE    NEAR    DROWNING,
HE    WROTE    ON    A    STONE:


'TODAY    MY    BEST    FRIEND
SAVED    MY    LIFE  '.


THE    FRIEND    WHO    HAD    SLAPPED
AND    SAVED    HIS    BEST    FRIEND
ASKED    HIM,    'AFTER   I  HURT    YOU,
YOU    WROTE    IN    THE    SAND    AND    NOW,
YOU    WRITE    ON    A     STONE,    WHY?'

THE   FRIEND    REPLIED
'WHEN    SOMEONE    HURTS    US
WE    SHOULD     WRITE    IT    DOWN
IN    SAND,   WHERE    WINDS    OF
FORGIVENESS    CAN     ERASE    IT AWAY.
BUT,    WHEN  SOMEONE    DOES
SOMETHING    GOOD    FOR    US,
WE    MUST    ENGRAVE    IT   IN   STONE
WHERE    NO    WIND
CAN    EVER    ERASE    IT.'

LEARN    TO     WRITE
YOUR    HURTS    IN
THE    SAND    AND    TO
CARVE    YOUR
BENEFITS    IN    STONE.

THEY    SAY    IT    TAKES    A

MINUTE    TO    FIND    A    SPECIAL
PERSON,
    AN    HOUR   TO
APPRECIATE  THEM,
 
 A    DAY
TO   LOVE    THEM,
!    BUT THEN

AN    ENTIRE    LIFE
TO    FORGET    THEM.




TAKE    THE    TIME    TO    LIVE!

DO    NOT     VALUE    THE    THINGS
YOU  HAVE    IN    YOUR    LIFE,     BUT    VALUE

WHO
 YOU   HAVE    IN     YOUR    LIFE !


'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'
