Eyes




A friend, who knew my father, said, “You have your father’s eyes.”


”No, I don’t. They were cremated with him.”

Some Facts

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
Hardly seems worth it.

If you farted continuously for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
Now that's more like it!

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
O.M.G.!

Creepy. But I'm still not over the pig.

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?

What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?

Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity.

Something I always wanted to know.

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
Hmmmmmm......

If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
Okay, so that would be a good thing.

A cat's urine glows under a black light.
I wonder who was paid to figure that out?

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
I know some people like that.

Starfish have no brains.
I know some people like that too.

Polar bears are left-handed.
If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.

Rewriting History So Soon?

Watching the network Sun news shows, there seems to be a rewriting of history. Comment agreed by all on GS show: We went to war in Iraq to “free the Iraqi people from tyranny." Followed by: We went to war in Afghanistan to "remove the Taliban" from power.

Hmm. Seems to me Iraq was because Iraq "has weapons of mass destruction" and Afghanistan was to get Bin Laden and his cronies as revenge for 9/11. But then, Iraq didn't have WMDs and Bin Laden is still out there.

I guess if actions don't go as planned, change the reason for the actions to make it appear they went as planned?

In Praise of Older Men

Since my early dating days, my taste has always run toward older men. Significantly older.

First of all, an older man will always think you are amazingly beautiful. An older man just makes me feel like I'm some goddess sprung from the sea like Botticelli's Venus.

In addition, they are incredibly considerate lovers, and don't rush through sex like they're competing in the 50-yard sprint. They take their time and enjoy exploring every inch of your body, as someone appreciating a fine wine.

Happily, they are often interested in stimulating your mind as much as your body. The level of conversation is usually considerably higher than the men who are my contemporaries, and I love being able to learn new things from them.

They still feel it's OK to open doors for you, bring you flowers, and pay the bill when you go to dinner. Yes, of course I'm able to do all those things for myself, but why should I?

Older men enjoy taking care of me, and in turn I do caring things for them like cook fine meals, rub their shoulders when they're tense, and other things women are good at. With older men it's OK to be feminine, which I like.

One of the best things about older men is that they have learned enough to know that the woman is often right. And if they are really smart they let her have her way, even when she is wrong.

So while dating an older guy can have its drawbacks (like when you go out and people think you are father and daughter), there is still a lot to recommend it.
