    My Time Away/Leave Saturday the 1st

     This will be my last entry until my return on the 6th or 7th of July. I am in need of some time to myself and when this feeling "overpowers" me, I take heed and do something about it. It is my "life", afterall. And in order to succeed at my job, I take this time off to "refuel", physically as well as mentally. I do this every three months or so and have for the past 4 years.
     
    I wish everyone that stops by ...a very Happy Fourth of July. This day is very emotional, as well as special to me. Will not go into details, but trust me on this. It was the best and worse day of my being...in ..1989. I took the proverbial "bull" by the horns, and I defeated him. Wasn't an easy task, but I knew I was strong enough to do so. In the end..I prevailed.
     
    So to all who celebrate America's Independence Day, I will leave you with this comment. "May your day be as beautiful; as each and every single day SHOULD be".
     
     
     
    Ciao for now.

    FEMALES versus MALES or Vice Versa

           
     
    Well, for lack of enough time this weekend, I have simply put together a few ha-ha's for all.
    Enjoy!!!!            
     I will update as soon as possible. This week will be very busy and also I will be away for a few days beginning on Saturday the 1st of JULY.
     
     
                                        

    One morning a husband returns after several hours of
    fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not
    familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the
    boat out.  She motors out a short distance, anchors,
    and reads her book.

    Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up
    alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am.
    What are you doing?"

    "Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "isn't it
    obvious?").
    "You're  in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs
    her.
    "I'm  sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing.  I'm
    reading."
    "Yes,ma'am,  but you have all the equipment.  For all
    I know you could start at any moment.  I'll have to
    take you in and write you up."

    "If you do that, I'll have  to charge you with sexual
    assault," says the woman     
    "But I haven't  even touched you," says the game
    warden.
    "That's  true, but you have all the equipment. For all
    I know you could  start at any  moment."

    "Have  a nice day ma'am," the officer replied as he
    left.

    MORAL:  Never argue with a woman who reads. It's
    likely she can also think.

    GUYS RULES:
                                                                                                
    At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally, the guys'
                                 side of the story. 
                                
                         (I must admit, it's pretty good.)                     
                             We always hear "the rules"                        
                               From the female side.                           
                     Now here are the rules from the male side.                
                                These are our rules!                           
                      Please note.. these are all numbered "1"                 
                                    ON PURPOSE!  
                                   
                                                                                
                            1. Men ARE not mind readers.                       
                                                                               
                         1. Learn to work the toilet seat.                     
                    You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.

              You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.         
                                                                               
                     1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon                 
                           or the changing of the tides.                       
                                     Let it be.                                
                                                                               
                            1. Shopping is NOT a sport.                        
                And no, we are never going to think of it that way.            
                                                                               
                              1. Crying is blackmail.                          
                                                                               
                             1. Ask for what you want.                         
                            Let us be clear on this one:                       
                             Subtle hints do not work!                         
                             Strong hints do not work!                         
                             Obvious hints do not work!                        
                                    Just say it!                               
                                                                               
      1. Yes and No are perfectly Acceptable answers to almost every question. 
                                                                               
     1. Come to us with a problem only If you want help solving it. That's what
                                       we do.                                  
                     Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

                                   Don't ask us.                               
                                                                               
      1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways  
                   makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one              
                                                                               
                      1. You can either ask us to do something                 
                          Or tell us how you want it done                      
                                     Not both.                                 
            If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.        
                                                                               
          1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during

                       1. If it itches, it will Be scratched.                  
                                     We do that                                
                                                                               
         1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like    
                                  nothing's wrong.                             
            We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.        
                                                                               
     1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you
                                don't want to hear.

              discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation,          
                                      or golf.

                                     ( NEVER, NADA, NO WAY! )

                           1. Thank you for reading this.

    By Request

             
     
     
     
    I recently had a request left in a comment for some other BIRD Photos that I have been fortunate enough to have seen. I will list a few for MIKE whom is listed to the right in Spaces I Visit.
     
    As most, I have Cardinals and Bluejays. The Cardinals seem to always have a nest in the Globosa Blue Spruce in the front. If not there , I will find it in the Green Globosa Spruce . The Bluejays, of course, can be irritating at times, but they are a colorful creature. I enjoy them as well.
     
                                   
                          MALE CARDINAL
      
                         
     
       Blue Jay     
                       
    Also here in abundance are the Robins. They actually "winter" here all year. (Must like the surroundings and yummy food provided all year long. ) There eggs are beautiful as most would attest to. They are speckled. They have natural food from the Bradford Pear Trees as well as the Serviceberry Tree that brings me the AWESOME Cedar Waxwinged , in the prior entry written.          
                          
                                        ROBIN
     
    In the early morning as well as early evening you may hear the Mockingbird.
     
                             
                                   MOCKINGBIRD
     
    Now trust me when I say this....we have manyyyyyyy Mourning Doves here. They look as if they are so so soft. Makes me want to "pet" them .LOL.
                       
                               MOURNING DOVE
     
    Now for the "hunters" of the species. The Red-Tailed hawk will circle or sit for hours for their prey. All of a sudden if I am sitting out on the deck, I will hear a flock of smaller birds "rush" to the nearby Evergreens for cover. I look up and there he is , hovering high above all the mature trees on Northern property.
                               
                                RED-TAILED HAWK
     
    The next few photos will be of the beautiful birds from the Oceanfront. One of these days I shall actually find and get all MY photos I have taken onto this computer. However, I wouldn't hold my breath...LOL..This will take moi a longgggg time to do so.
                                 PELICANS AT SUNSET
     
                                           SEABIRD
     
    Now of course we must not forget the  ever GRACEFUL....Swan.   
     
     
                                             SWAN    
     

     

    Hope all enjoy the beauty of NATURE once again.  

                 

             Ciao for now.

    FOR ALL MY VISITORS

     
     
     
     
     
     
                       
     
     
     
    Today was a busy day and so far a very busy week at work. So, here are a few "chuckles" for all. This first one is for MIKE. His link is over in Spaces I Visit.Thought about you when I read this.
     
     
     
     
     
    THE BEST COMEBACK OF THE YEAR AWARD 

    If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as
    this policeman.  He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a
    felony trial.  The lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman's
    credibility....

    Q: "Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?"

    A: "No sir.  But I subsequently observed a person matching the description
    of the offender, running several blocks away."

    Q: "Officer -- who provided this description?"

    A: "The officer who responded to the scene."

    Q: "A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. 
    Do you trust your fellow officers?"

    A: "Yes, sir.  With my life."

    Q: "With your life?  Let me ask you this then officer.  Do you have a room
    where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?"

    A: "Yes sir, we do!"

    Q: "And do you have a locker in the room?"

    A: "Yes sir, I do."

    Q: "And do you have a lock on your locker?"

    A: "Yes sir."

    Q: "Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your
    life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with
    these same officers?"

    A: "You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex, and
    sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room."

    The courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called.

    The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's "Best Comeback"
    line -- and we think he'll win.
     
     Now when one reads a Blonde joke, you have to keep in mind de Beerman, himself. This one made me think of Michael T. He is also listed in Spaces I Visit.

    I'M BLONDE AND I'M BEAUTIFUL! 

    On a plane bound for New York the flight attendant approached a blonde sitting in the first class section and requested she move to economy since she didn't have a first class ticket.

    The blonde replied, "I'm blond, I'm beautiful, I'm going to New York and I'm not moving."

    Not wanting to argue with a customer the flight attendant asked the co-pilot to speak to her. He went to talk with the woman asking her to please move out of the first class section.

    Again, the blonde replied, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to New York and I'm not moving.

    The co-pilot returned to the cockpit and asked the captain what he should do. The captain said, "I' m married to a blonde, and I know how to handle this."

    He went to the first class section and whispered in the blonde's ear. She immediately jumped up and ran to the economy section mumbling to herself, "Why didn't anyone just say so?"

    Surprised, the flight attendant and the co-pilot asked the captain what he said to her. The captain replied: "I told her the first class section wasn't going to New York."

     

    TOP 10 Blonde Inventions: 

     

    10. The water-proof towel
    9. Glow in the dark sunglasses
    8. Solar powered flashlights
    7. Submarine screen doors
    6. A book on how to read
    5. Inflatable dart boards
    4. A dictionary index
    3. Pedal powered wheel chairs
    2. Water proof tea bags
    1. Zero proof alchohol            


     A blind man enters a Ladies Bar by mistake. He finds his way to a barstool and orders a drink. After sitting there for
    awhile,
    he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"
    The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that
    joke,
    sir, I think it is just fair - giving that you are blind - that you should know five things:
     
    1 - The bartender is a blonde girl.
     
    2 - The bouncer is a blonde girl.
     
    3 - I'm a 6 feet tall, 160 LB. Blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

    4 - The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional weightlifter.

    5 - The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler.

    Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?
    The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares, "Nah, Not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.         
     
                                                                      

    Now I shall leave you with a few of my favorite quotes........

     

     Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the number of moments that take our breath away..

     

    The human heart feels things the eyes cannot see....

     

    Sometimes we put up walls not to block people..But to see who cares enough to break them down....

     

    I would rather have eyes that do cannot see; ears that cannot hear; lips that cannot speak; than a heart that cannot not love.... 

     

    The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world, is a woman's heart....

     

    Have a fabulous rest of the week all!

                             

    Ciao for now....

    Feeling As One with Nature

    Good Day All, 
                            
     
    It has been awhile since I actually posted my own words wih a gleeful and serene, peaceful feeling. Well, today this is going to change. I have been spending as much time as possible outdoors enjoying Mother Nature. I put together a few photos of the awesome BEAUTY Mother Nature provides us.
     
    I have not had the time to be patient and sit for hours to take the actual photos, so I have compiled photos of the Bird's that visit me here, through the help of the Internet. However, you will see just how many different Species of them I am fortunate enough to have "enticed" here, by providing many years of attention and needless to say...the more expensive food. I tried less expensive food, it just doesn't work as well for "enticing" the SONG BIRDS and more colorful ones to your home.

    Bird # 15...
                             Cedar Waxwing
    I have only encountered this BEAUTY three times. Each time the pair was spotted in the Serviceberry Tree, next to the deck. The Serviceberry Tree produces berries, which , along with Robins and others, Cedar Waxwings dine, as well. Here is what I found.....
     
    Smaller than a Robin the Cedar Waxwing is a sleek, crested, brown bird with black mask, yellow tips on tail feathers, and red tips on secondary wing feathers. The belly is pale yellow, the undertail coverts are white. The plumage of the Cedar Waxwing appears as though made of soft velvet. These waxwings are from 6-1/2 to 8 inches long. The female is similar to the male. Young are streaked below

    These are a few of the more colorful ones here. Please remember I also have Cardinals, Sparrows, Crows, Titmice,  Doves, Chickadees, and numerous others.
     
    Thanks for your taking the time to visit me and the BEAUTY that Mother Nature provides to me.

    TEDDY ROOSEVELT

    Teddy said it all (almost 100 years ago)!
    INTERESTING BASED ON TODAY'S DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IMMIGRANTS
     
     
     
     
    Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907. 

    "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

    Theodore Roosevelt 1907
     
     
     

     I am sure with this entry..I should get some pretty thought provoking responses. I was sitting at my computer thinking about what I had to go through the other day.....in order to get an ENGLISH speaking individual on a business call. It truly was one of the most annoying situations I have encountered in quite awhile. Now I am not prejudiced, however, if you live in America, you should be able to speak English. Plain and simple.

     

              

     

     

     

     Ciao for now.

    Boredom could be the keyword for today, dear Taurus. You have a lot on your mind and are anxious to be out and about seeking adventure of some kind, but you're probably going to be stuck in your tasks and chores. However, all is not lost. A trip by air could be in the offing. Therefore, this is a great time to plan a vacation, and making such plans is an excellent way to alleviate boredom. Go for it!
            
    I ran across this and wanted to share a laugh with all. It seems I have not written anything myself as of late worth entering . So, smile and enjoy.
