Cerebral energy in a blender

Friday was quite a day.
Inspired by three different bloggers about totally disparate subjects, I found myself sitting in front of the computer Googling stuff I'd never have thought considered. My mind works that way.
You've already seen my reaction to Jane's post. I'm not sure exactly what to say about my reaction to Lora's post because it was a two-parter. I commented about the second part. Part one gave rise to a search, which found this.
Carolina also had the wheels spinning, as she had my curiosity piqued regarding a multitude of items and persons. While using the search engine the question arose [in my mind], would ladies rather be Googled or Binged?

Credit for the title goes to my wife, who had no idea what this post was about. And, if she had, never would have asked me what it meant.
Now she has had to wait three days to find out.

Read quietly

To realize
The value of a sister/brother
Ask someone
Who doesn't have one.

To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple.

To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam.

To realize
The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
Who has given birth to
A premature baby.

To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize
The value of one second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident.

Time waits for no one.

Treasure every moment you have.

You will treasure it even more when
You can share it with someone special.

To realize the value of a friend or family member:

LOSE ONE.

Remember....

Hold on tight to the ones you love!



Do not keep this.
Pass it along to anyone who matters.

This made me want to pee

It was a thought

One of you may remember a post from several months ago. I'm surprised that I do. The post had something to do with cluttered desks. Then someone noticed something further about the picture. Friday I was making my appointed rounds lurking stalking, when Jane's post bit me on the caught my eye.
I was inspired.
I could take along one of the critters whenever I travel and include it in pictures to prove I really took the picture.
Then I had another thought.
I would be placing the critter so that it didn't entirely detract from the photo. Some bystander would say, "Hey mister. Nice doll!"

Life lesson

Unexpected ending – It’s great!



This is one of the best and most useful stories I have read in years. What a life lesson?

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.



Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway;it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up..
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well, and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

Free your heart from hatred - Forgive
Free your mind from worries - Most never happen
Live simply and appreciate what you have
Give more
Expect less


NOW .......Enough of that crap.The donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.



MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:

When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.
