Whether you be man or woman, you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

JUST A THOUGHT
One of the blogger had on his site yesterday about 9/11 ( Never FORGET nor who attacked us). It was the WHO that got my attention.I think its really important to everyone to think (who is).We all should take a step backwards and us our GOD given minds to reason out that this was a few radicals that don't like us for what ever reasons they should come up with.They have always been there an are going to always be there.If you let these radicals influence your thinking your playing right in to their hands.Remember just because there are bad apples in the barrel they are not all bad. I say relax an enjoy the freedoms that you have they came at a price!

RAMBLING OF A RETIRED MIND
I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones
that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So,
I'm wearing my garage door opener.
I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have what they call
blue teeth, I think.
You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people
didn't like me anyway.
I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on
beer cans!
I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still
have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.'
I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it
'Pumping Rust'.
I've gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is
falling into your drawers! Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write, 'A Good Doctor'!
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more
as they get older. Then, it dawned on me. They were cramming for their
finals. As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.
When people see a cat's litter box, they always say, 'Oh, have you got a
cat?' Just once I want to say, 'No, it's for company!'
Enjoy Your Days & Love Your Life,
Because Life is a journey to be savored.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
You're gonna say "I didn't know that!" at least 5 times. Really neat stuff here.
Alaska
More than half of the coastline of the entire United States is in Alaska .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amazon
The Amazon rainforest produces more than 20%
of the world's oxygen supply.
The Amazon River pushes so much water into the Atlantic Ocean that, more than one hundred miles at sea off the mouth of the river, one can dip fresh water out of the ocean. The volume of water in the Amazon river is greater than the next eight largest rivers in the world combined and three times the flow of all rivers in the United States .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Antarctica
Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country.
Ninety percent of the world's ice covers Antarctica .
This ice also represents seventy percent of all the fresh water in the world.
As strange as it sounds, however, Antarctica is essentially a desert;
the average yearly total precipitation is about two inches.
Although covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it, ice.),
Antarctica is the driest place on the planet,
with an absolute humidity lower than the Gobi desert.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brazil got its name from the nut, not the other way around.

New York City
The term 'The Big Apple' was coined
by touring jazz musicians of the 1930s

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Russia
Kola Superdeep Borehole, in Russia .
It reached a depth of 12,261 meters
(about 40,226 feet or 7.62 miles).
It was drilled for scientific research
and gave up some unexpected discoveries,
one of which was a huge deposit of hydrogen
- so massive that the mud coming from the hole
was boiling with it.

But, give it a shot anyway.

NEWS CORPORATION
.
NEWS CORPORATION (Rupert Murdock) I have no problem with people watching FOX for entertainment.The problem I have is with those that think they are watching legitimate news.
Controversial is the key reason Glen Beck is on FOX (NEWS CORPORATION) Rupert Murdock has massed a fortune with this type of tabloid journalism.Rupert Murdok knows what it takes to create viewers .(simply create controversy,by any means political,religion,hate,
HATE SALES ---- People like Rush Limbaugh,Sean Hannity,Ann Colter,all so we have to include Glen Beck.(.McCarthyism,)" Today the term is used more generally to describe demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents. Change communist to Liberal and you have history repeating its self.These people use hate to advance their agenda. Any one of any of these people could be a reincarnation of Joe McCarthy,(especially) Sean Hannity.
