Simple advice for a better life.

We naturally associate children with mothers, so this post is perfect for Mother’s Day.

Moms always work so hard to provide love and comfort for their families, that do not set aside enough time to relax, enjoy life, and have fun.

If you spend some time around small children, you will agree that what they say, is not always what you expect to hear.

They mean well, but how they say it, can often times turn out sounding quite hilarious.

Today I will share with you an email excerpt I received from a friend, which will definitely lighten up your day, and put a smile on your face.

KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS.

THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE WRITTEN BY CHILDREN.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RETOUCHED OR CORRECTED.

INCORRECT SPELLING HAS BEEN LEFT IN.

1. IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GUINESSIS.

GOD GOT TIRED OF CREATING THE WORLD SO HE TOOK THE SABBATH

OFF.

2. ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED FROM AN APPLE TREE.

NOAH’S WIFE WAS JOAN OF ARK.

NOAH BUILT AND ARK AND THE ANIMALS CAME ON IN PEARS.

3. LOTS WIFE WAS A PILLAR OF SALT DURING THE DAY, BUT A BALL OF

FIRE DURING THE NIGHT.

4. THE JEWS WERE A PROUD PEOPLE AND THROUGHOUT HISTORY THEY

HAD TROUBLE WITH UNSYMPATHETIC GENITALS.

5. SAMPSON WAS A STRONGMAN WHO LET HIMSELF BE LED ASTRAY BY

A JEZEBEL LIKE DELILAH.

7. MOSES LED THE JEWS TO THE RED SEA WHERE THEY MADE

UNLEAVENED BREAD, WHICH IS BREAD WITHOUT ANY INGREDIENTS.

8. THE EGYPTIANS WERE ALL DROWNED IN THE DESSERT.

AFTERWARDS, MOSES WENT UP TO MOUNT CYANIDE TO GET THE TEN

COMMANDMENTS.

9. THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS WAS WHEN EVE TOLD ADAM TO EAT THE

APPLE.

10. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT IS THOU SHALT NOT ADMIT

ADULTERY.

11. MOSES DIED BEFORE HE EVER REACHED CANADA THEN JOSHUA LED

THE HEBREWS IN THE BATTLE OF GERITOL.

12. THE GREATEST MIRICLE IN THE BIBLE IS WHEN JOSHUA TOLD HIS

SON TO STAND STILL AND HE OBEYED HIM.

13. DAVID WAS A HEBREW KING WHO WAS SKILLED AT PLAYING THE

LIAR.

HE FOUGHT THE FINKELSTEINS, A RACE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN

BIBLICAL TIMES..

14. SOLOMON, ONE OF DAVIDS SONS, HAD 300 WIVES AND 700

PORCUPINES.

15. WHEN MARY HEARD SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF JESUS, SHE SANG THE

MAGNA CARTA.

16. WHEN THE THREE WISE GUYS FROM THE EAST SIDE ARRIVED THEY

FOUND JESUS IN THE MANAGER.

17. JESUS WAS BORN BECAUSE MARY HAD AN IMMACULATE

CONTRAPTION.

18. ST. JOHN THE BLACKSMITH DUMPED WATER ON HIS HEAD.

19. JESUS ENUNCIATED THE GOLDEN RULE, WHICH SAYS TO DO UNTO

OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO ONE TO YOU.

HE ALSO EXPLAINED A MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY SWEAT ALONE.

20. IT WAS A MIRICLE WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND

MANAGED TO GET THE TOMBSTONE OFF THE ENTRANCE.

21. THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED THE LORD WERE CALLED THE 12

DECIBELS.

22. THE EPISTELS WERE THE WIVES OF THE APOSTLES.

23. ONE OF THE OPPOSSUMS WAS ST. MATTHEW WHO WAS ALSO A

Brain Teaser – Fun Stuff

Electric Mind

We all can attest to the fact that we live in such a busy world these days, and rush trough everything we do, that at times we only hear what we want to hear, and see what, we think, we want to see.

Everyone strives for perfection, but we misspell words without noticing it ( I am just as guilty as anyone..).

Forget our appointments, grocery lists, names of people we just met, etc.

We are surrounded by advanced technology to simplify our life, yet always run out of time.

So what am I driving at,  you say?

Well, I have a little game for you to play, and would like to hear your comments, on how well you have done.

Here you go:

I could not believe myself, how well I was able to read this, and actually had to go back to check again how badly it was misspelled…..

I am looking forward to hearing from all of you, what you thought about this little game, and if you surprised yourself as much as I did.

Please share your comments.

It’s Maxine Time Again – Humor

MaxineThe long, cold, snowy days of Winter are beginning to get the best of us by now, and cabin fever might be setting in.  So the best thing to remedy this feeling is to have some great comfort food, and some good humor.

So don’t you agree that it is time again for some Maxine humor?

I totally love Maxine’s wonderful humor, and I am sure all of you do as well, so here it is.

Maxine - your stuff strudded off without you

  • Being ‘over the hill’ is much better than being under it!
  • Wrinkled Was Not One of the Things I Wanted to Be When I Grew up.
  • Have a Degree in Liberal Arts; Do You Want Fries With That?
  • A hangover is the wrath of grapes.
  • A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance.

Maxine - people tell you to calm down

  • Stupidity is not a handicap. Park elsewhere!
  • They call it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken.
  • He who dies with the most toys is nonetheless DEAD.

Maxine - Men are always whinig about something

  • Ham and eggs…A day’s work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.
  • The trouble with life is there’s no background music.

Hopefully you had a good laugh, or at least a chuckle.

Now you are feeling relaxed, and ready to think about Spring.

Things to Smile About – Maxine Humor

MaxineThe holiday  hustle and bustle is almost over (don’t count your blessings yet….it starts all over again in the  New Year, you knew that, right?), so lets take some time out for a good laugh.

Nothing beats fun “wisdom” from Maxine:


4 years without president

****My husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was God and I didn’t.

****I don’t suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

****Some people are alive only because it’s illegal to kill them.

****I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

****Don’t take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.

****You’re just jealous because the voices only talk to me

Maxine - few drinks

****Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

****Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.

****You’re just jealous because the voices only talk to me

****I’m not a complete idiot — Some parts are just missing.

Hitting escape

****Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

****God must love stupid people; He made so many.

****The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

Maxine - getting older

****Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.

****Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

Are you feeling better yet? Good!

You know that laughter is not only the best medicine, but it also burns calories!!

It’s time to post some humor…..

it’s been a while,

husband standing around with a fly swatter

“What are you doing?”

She asked.

“Hunting Flies”

He responded.

“Oh. !

Killing any?”

She asked.

“Yep, 3 males, 2 Females,”

he replied.

Intrigued, she asked.

“How can you tell them apart?”

He responded,

“3 were on a beer can,

2 were on the phone

How Was Your Day? – Humor

Getting out of bedWe all have good days and those “not so good” days.

Having a good day all the time would be boring, but then again, having a bad day all the time would be depressing.

Are there any days that are just perfect?  Well, it depends what perfect means.

Here are some cute pictures describing such days, to put a smile on your face:

Bad hair day

A bad hair day….

caught in the rain

Caught in the rain…

failed diet

Failed diet….

the flu
The flu…(or hangover…)

trapped

work out burn out

Work out burn out….

TIP:  I wish I could give credit to the photographer of these pictures, but I do not now whom they belong to.   I received them from a friend, via email.
