Written by a 90 year old.



This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!! Make sure you read to the end!!!!!!

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio.

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

16.. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come...

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

Its estimated 93% won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title '7%'.

I'm in the 7%. Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.

FRIENDS WITHOUT FACES

We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.

With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

Why is it on screen, we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.

Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.

We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names.

Take this week to have fun and be sure to let those "friends
without faces" know how much you appreciate them.
Happy Online Friendship Week!

Pass this on to all your friends, and let them know that you care.

The night was almost gone,
As I opened my eyes with a yawn.
I was quite amazed
With her thighs on my face,
I was seeing the crack of Dawn.
 

A Few Jokes Today



  • A man asked his wife, "What would you most like for your birthday?" She said, "I'd love to be ten again." On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and they went to a theme park. He put her on every ride in the park - the Death Slide, The Screaming Loop, the Wall of Fear. She had a go on every ride there was. She staggered out of the theme park five hours later, her head reeling and her stomach turning. Then off to a movie theater, popcorn, cola and sweets. At last she staggered home with her husband and collapsed into bed. Her husband leaned over and asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being ten again?" One eye opened and she groaned, "Actually, honey, I meant dress size!"



  • A couple have not been getting along for years, so the husband thinks, "I'll buy my wife a cemetery plot for her birthday." Well, you can imagine her disappointment. The next year, her birthday rolls around again and this time he doesn't get her anything. She says, "Why didn't you get me a birthday present!?" He replies, "You didn't use what I got you last year!"



  • Home - A - Age Jokes "That's an excellent essay for someone your age," said the English teacher. "How about for someone my Mum's age, Miss?" "Welcome to school, Simon," said the nursery school teacher to the new boy. "How old are you?" "I'm not old," said Simon. "I'm nearly new." Miss Jones agreed to be interviewed by Fred for the school magazine. "How old are you, ma'am?" asked Fred. "I'm not going to tell you that," she replied. "But Mr Hill the technical teacher and Mr Hill the geography teacher told me how old they were." "Oh well," said Miss Jones. "I'm the same age as both of them." The poor teacher was not happy when she saw what Fred wrote: Miss Jones, our English teacher, confided in me that she was as old as the Hills. "Now remember, boys and girls," said the science teacher, "you can tell a tree's age by counting the rings in a cross section. One ring for each year." Fred went home for tea and found a chocolate roll on the table. "I'm not eating that, Mum!" she said. "It's five years old." Grandma: You've left all your crusts, Fred. When I was your age I ate every one. Fred: Do you still like crusts, Grandma? Grandma: Yes, I do. Fred: Well, you can have mine. How old is your wife? Approaching forty. From which direction? An eminent old man was being interviewed, and was asked if it was correct that he had just celebrated his ninety-ninth birthday. `That's right,' said the old man. `Ninety-nine years old, and I haven't an enemy in the world. They're all dead.' `Well, sir,' said the interviewer, `I hope very much to have the honour of interviewing you on your hundredth birthday.' The old man looked at the young man closely, and said, `I can't see why you shouldn't. You look fit and healthy to me!'



  • Johnny was racing around the garden on his new bicycle and called out to his mother to watch his tricks. 'Look, Mum! No hands! Look, Mum! No feet! Waaah! Look, Mum! No teeth!'

  • Two Women, Two Men

    Women are chatting in office.

    Woman 1: I had sex last night, did you?

    Woman 2: Yes.

    Woman 1: Was it good?

    Woman 2: No, it was a disaster... My husband came home, ate his dinner in three minutes, got on top of me, finished having sex in five minutes, rolled over and fell asleep in two minutes. How was yours?
     
    Woman 1: Oh it was amazing! My husband came home and took me out to a romantic dinner. After dinner we walked for an hour. When we came home he lit the candles around the house and we had an hour of foreplay. We then had an hour long session of fantastic sex and afterwards talked for an hour. It was like a fairytale!


     
    At the same time, their husbands are talking at work.

    Husband 1: You wanted sex last night, how was it?

    Husband 2: Great. I came home, dinner was on the table, I ate, screwed my wife and fell asleep. It was great!  What about you?
     
    Husband 1: It was horrible. I came home, there's no dinner because they cut the electricity because I hadn't paid the bill; so I had to take my wife out to dinner which was so expensive that I didn't have money left for a cab. We had to walk home which took an hour – and when we got home remember there was no electricity so I had to light fucking candles all over the house! I was so angry that I couldn't get it up for an hour and then I couldn't come for another hour. After I finally did, I was so aggravated that I couldn't fall asleep and my wife was jabbering away for another hour!

    Dyeing Nun

    A 98-year-old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable.

    They tried giving her some warm milk to drink but she refused it. One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen and remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened it and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.

    Back at Mother Superior's bed, the nun held the glass to her lips. Mother drank a little.... Then a little more. Before they knew it, she had drunk the whole glass down to the last drop. "Mother," the nuns asked with earnest, "please give us some wisdom before you die."

    She raised herself up in bed and whispered, "Don't sell that cow!"

    Italian Women are Tough

    An elderly Italian man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies
    of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite ravioli
    wafting up the stairs.

    He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed.
    Gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs.

    When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he leaned against the door
    frame, gazing into the kitchen, where if not for death's agony, he would
    have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed
    paper on the kitchen table were hundreds of his favorite ravioli.



    Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his wife of sixty
    years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

    He threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a crumpled
    posture. His parched lips parted, the wondrous taste of the ravioli was
    already in his mouth.

    With a trembling hand he reached up to the edge of the table, when
    suddenly he was smacked with a wooden spoon by his wife who said:

    "Va fanculo!"
    "Questi sono per il funerale."
    (Translation - Fuck off - these are for the funeral).

    smile......

    The bartender is skeptical and decides to try to trick the man with 5-year
    scotch. The man takes a sip, scowls and says, "Bartender, this crap
    is
    5-year scotch. I told you I want 12-year scotch."
    The
    bartender tries once more with 8-year scotch. The man takes a sip, grimaces
    and says, "Bartender, I don`t want 8-year scotch like this
    filth.
    Give me 12-year scotch!"
    Impressed,
    the bartender gets the 12-year scotch, the man takes a sip and sighs,
    "Ah, now that`s the real thing."
    A
    disgusting, grimy, stinking drunk has been watching all this with great
    interest. He stumbles over and sets a glass down in front of the man
    and
    says, "Hey, I think that`s really far out what you can do. Try this
    one."
    The
    man takes a sip and immediately spits out the liquid and cries, "Yechhh!
    This stuff tastes like piss!"
    The
    drunk`s eyes light up and he says, "Yeah, now how old am I?"

    A
    man wakes up one morning to find a gorilla on his roof.



    So he looks in the yellow pages and sure enough, there's an ad
    for "Gorilla Removers." he calls the number, and the gorilla
    remover says he'll be over in 30 minutes.



    The gorilla remover arrives and gets out of his van.



    He's got a ladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun and a mean huge dog.



    "What are you going to do", the homeowner asks?



    I'm going to put this ladder up against the roof, and then I'm going to
    go up there and knock the gorilla off the roof with this baseball bat.
    When the gorilla falls off, the dog is trained to grab
    the gorilla's testicles and squeeze. The gorilla will then be
    subdued enough for me to put him in the cage in the back of the
    van."



    He hands the shotgun to the homeowner. "What's the shotgun for?"
    asks the homeowner.



    If the gorilla knocks ME off the roof, shoot the dog."

    Confidence in Company's Own Software

    A hypothetical situation where 20 CEOs board an airplane and are told that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature pilotless technology: It is an uncrewed aircraft. Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that their company's software is running the aircraft's automatic pilot system. Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each offering a different type of excuse.

    One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very calm indeed. Asked why he is so confident in this first uncrewed flight,

    he replies :

    "If it is the same software that is developed by my company's IT systems department, this plane won't even take off." !!!!

    That is called Confidence!! !
