Got this qp of 8925 on the day drawing on the 16th!

AND it hit as 9285 on the 17th at night...should have played it back.

plum forgot about it!

A mom was concerned about her Kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence, but yet know that he was safe.

So, she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her.

She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.

The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor boy he knew. She did this for the whole week.

As the boys walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week. Finally, he said to Timmy, "Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her"?

Timmy nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, I know who she is."

The friend said, "Well, who is she"?

"That's just Shirley Goodnest," Timmy replied. "And her daughter Marcy."

"Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following us"?

"Well," Timmy explained. "Every night, my mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, because she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life,' so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!"

Going to go watch the news to see which important man in the US has hit on a woman today or or up to 40 or 50 or more years ago!

Who would have ever thought all of these allegations from men hitting on women would come to light in such a big way all at once after all these years!

I bet they never thought it would...it's getting so bad a man is going to be scared to even say Hello to a woman any longer!

All this is really a mess...who would have thought it would all catch up with them this way!

Here's one of the latest ones...at least he apologized!

Al Franken Is Accused of Forcible Kissing and Groping

By NICHOLAS FANDOS

A radio broadcaster said that Mr. Franken kissed and touched her inappropriately during a U.S.O. tour of the Middle East in 2006, before he was a U.S. senator. Mr. Franken issued two apologies.

Somebody must be upset because there and 3,416 comments about it already & they have a right to be!

Got another one of those $10 cards with the "bad odds" & got lucky with it today!

The odds are 1 in 9:45 for over all wins...like this one.

And 1 in 1:25.53 to win a $100 which is the top prize...you can only win $50 or $100 on this card so I feel mighty lucky to have won on a few!

Sensitive souls draw in the negativity of others because they are so open.     

John Gray

You cannot expect to live a positive life if you hang with negative people.

Joel Osteen

 If they disrespect you to your face imagine what they're doing behind your back.      

Sonya Parker

People who project negativity typically have low self-esteem. They feel badly about themselves, and their negativity is simply a reflection of those feelings.

Hendrie Weisinger

Negative people need drama like oxygen. Stay positive, it will take their breath away.

                                   Golden Gate Bridge at night, with San Francisco in the background

As a suicide prevention initiative, this sign promotes a special telephone available on the bridge that connects to a crisis hotline.

The Golden Gate Bridge is the second-most used suicide site/suicide bridge in the world, after the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.^[82] The deck is about 245 feet (75 m) above the water.^[83] After a fall of four seconds, jumpers hit the water at around 75 mph or about 120 km/h. Most of the jumpers die from impact trauma. About 5% of the jumpers survive the initial impact but generally drown or die of hypothermia in the cold water.^[84][85]

After years of debate and over an estimated 1,500 deaths, suicide barriers began to be installed in April 2017. Construction will take approximately four years at a cost of over $200 million.^[86]

Wind

Since its completion, the Golden Gate Bridge has been closed because of weather conditions only three times: on December 1, 1951, because of gusts of 69 mph (111 km/h); on December 23, 1982, because of winds of 70 mph (113 km/h); and on December 3, 1983, because of wind gusts of 75 mph (121 km/h).^[87]

An anemometer, placed midway between the two towers on the west side of the bridge, has been used to measure wind speeds. Another anemometer was placed on one of the towers.

Well here's another pick 4 one off for last night.

It was 6054!

One day I'm going to get it & I mean it!

I love this and think you will too....he sure can dance!

I just realized every time I would edit the title the automated system would take out part of the name of the bird...lol

You can guess what it is...if I type it here it will take it out too.

So changed it to the dancing bird...lol

It's just so very frustrating to get 3 of the 4 numbers just about every single day I play pick 4.

...today it was 8476 & here's my stupid one off again!

I did get the p3...it was 833 & I had 338...thank goodness for that!...keeps me playing!

  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.' 

This will put a smile on your face, and help you forget about the numbers you missed!!!  J
 

When to start Cussing....


         A 6 year old and a 4 year old were upstairs in their bedroom.
'You know what?' said  the 6 year old.  'I think it's about time we
started cussing.



         The 4 year old nodded his head in approval.  The 6 year old
continued, 'When we go downstairs for breakfast, I'm gonna say something with hell and you say something with ass..'  The 4 year old agreed with enthusiasm.


        When the mother walked into the kitchen and asked the 6 year old what he wanted for breakfast,  he replied, 'Awe, hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios.'



        WHACK! He flew out of his  chair, tumbled across the kitchen
floor, got up, and ran upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in  hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step.

        His mom locked him in his room and shouted, 'You can stay there until I let you out!'

        She then came back downstairs, looked at her 4 year old and asked with a stern voice, 'And what do YOU want for breakfast, young man?'

         I don't know, he blubbered, 'but you can bet your fat ass it
won't be Cheerios!'   

Story of Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins grandfather?"

The old Cherokee simply replied,
  "The one you feed."

AN OLD MAN, A BOY & A DONKEY                                                                                

An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. 
The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked. 
As they went along they passed some people
Who remarked it was a shame the old man
Was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right,
So they changed positions.
Then, later, they passed some people who remarked,
'What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.' So they then decided they'd both walk! 
Soon they passed some more people who thought
They were stupid to walk when they had a
Decent donkey to ride. 
So, they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people
Who shamed them by saying how awful to
Put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man figured they were probably right,
So they decide to carry the donkey. 
As they crossed the bridge,
They lost their grip on the animal
And he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone,
You might as well..
Kiss your ass goodbye!
