Subject: Born in the 30's 40's 50's 60's and 70's
Hi ! Don't know to how many of you this would be relevant, but a good one ..
TO ALL WHO WERE BORN IN the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's
First, we survived being born to mothers who had no full time maids/cooked
food/cleaned the house while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate cheese, sweet dishes and didn't get tested for
diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright coloured
lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took
hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a local bus/train was a special treat.
We drank water from the tap and NOT from a bottle.
We would spend hours on the terrace under bright sunlight flying our kites,
without worrying about the UV effect which never ever affected us.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE
actually died from this.
We ate pastries, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with
sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back
when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours repairing our out dated bicycle and scooter out of
scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes.
After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Play Stations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all,
no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell
phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms........!
.WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
law-suits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us
forever.
We were never given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
we made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it
would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang
the bell, or just yelled for them!
Cricket League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't
had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They
actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers
and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!
And YOU are one of them!
CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as
kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own
good.
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave
their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!
PS -The font size is large because your eyes are shot at your age
Why the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?
There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.....
Thumb represents your Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
Middle finger represents your-Self
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
& the Last (Little) finger represents your children
Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back
Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip
(As shown in the figure below):
Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)...., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)...., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).
You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!
Please try this out.............
ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY
Subject: WOMEN VS MEN
WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
" The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first,
and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible
that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.........."HEBREWS"
The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each
other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,
he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
"Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM
and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and
see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman,
but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

An old man lived alone in Minnesota in United States. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work.
His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation: "Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot.
If you were here, all my troubles would be over.I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison. Love, Dad."
Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!!
That's where I buried the GUNS!!" At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.
His son's reply was: Go ahead and plant your Potatoes, Dad. It's the best I could do for you from here.
"NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT.
IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS IT IS NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS".
Nice :)
An old man was visiting a city for the first time in his life. He had grown
up in a remote mountain village, worked hard raising his children, and was
then enjoying his first visit to his children's modern homes.
While being shown around the city, the old man heard a sound that stung his
ears. He had never heard such an awful noise in his quiet mountain village.
Following the grating sound back to its source, he came to a room in the
back of a house where a small boy was practising on a violin.
'SCREECH! SCREECH!' came the discordant notes form the groaning violin.
When he was told that it was called a 'violin', he decided he never wanted
to hear such a horrible thing again.
The next day, in a different part of the city, the old man heard a beautiful
sound, which seemed to caress his aged ears. He had never heard such an
enchanting melody in his mountain valley. Following the delightful sound
back to its source, he came to a room in the front of a house where an old
lady, a maestro, was performing a sonata on a violin.
At once, the old man realised his mistake. The terrible sound that he had
heard the previous day was not the fault of the violin, nor even the boy. It
was just that the young man had yet to learn his instrument well.
With a wisdom reserved for the simple folk, the old man thought it was the
same with religion. When we come across a religious enthusiast causing such
strife with his beliefs, it is incorrect to blame the religion. It is just
that the novice has yet to learn his religion well. When we come across a
saint, a maestro of her religion, it is such a sweet encounter that it
inspires us for many years, whatever their beliefs.
But that was not the end of the story.....
The third day, in a different part of the city, the old man heard another
sound that surpassed in its beauty and purity even that of the maestro on
her violin. What do you think that sound was?
It was a sound more beautiful than the cascade of the mountain stream in
spring, than the autumn wind through the forest groves,or than the mountain
birds singing after a heavy rain. It was even more beautiful than the
silence in the mountain hollows on a still winter's night. What was that
sound that moved the old man's heart more powerfully than anything before?
It was a large orchestra playing a symphony.
The reason that it was, for the old man, the most beautiful sound in the
world was, firstly, that every member of that orchestra was a maestro of
their own instrument; and secondly, that they had further learned how to
play together in harmony.
'May it be the same with religion,' the old man thought. 'Let each one of us
learn through the lessons of life the soft heart of our beliefs. Let us each
be a maestro of the love within our religion. Then, having learned our
religion well, let us go further and learn how to play, like members of an
orchestra, with other religions in harmony together!'
That would be the most beautiful sound!

Very true.
Female self-esteem
As we grow older, women gain weight. This happens because we accumulate a lot of information in our heads.
And then of course, we get to a point in which so much information doesn't fit in our heads. And then all of that information starts to distribute itself throughout our entire body.
Now I understand it all...
I'm not overweight!!
I'm not fat!!
I'm smart!!
Very smart!!
For all of those great women all over the world..
Today is the International Day of Incredibly Good Looking and Elegant Women, so please send this to someone you believe fits this description.
Don't return it to me though I have already received it and I know I am great. But let's not forget the following...
Life should not be a trip to the tomb with the intention of reaching it with good health and an attractive and well cared for Body. It should be more like a ride on a great water slide, with a big piece of chocolate in one hand and a glass of good wine in the other, with a body totally worn out from good living, and yelling...
Boy, What a Ride!!!!!!
YES SIR!!
WE ARE PERFECT...
Because:
We don't go bald
We have an international day,and a national day too
We can use pink as well as blue
We always know our kids are ours
We have priority in a shipwreck
We don't pay the bill
We are the first hostages to go free
If we are cheated on, we're the victims
If we cheat, the men are the ones with horns
We can sleep with a girlfriend and not be labeled as homosexuals
We can pay attention to several things at a time...
The wife of a President is the First Lady; what is the husband of a female President?
If we decide to do a man's job, we're pioneers
If a man decides to do a woman's job, he's a fag
AND LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST:
We can do everyyyyyyything a man does, AND WEARING HEELS....!!!
Send this to all of the perfect women you know and all men you believe are capable of acknowledging it...
HAVE A GREAT DAY
