have jeans been mainly blue in color for the last 100+ years. Why is that color so popular for jeans?

If you are given 3 options: USA, Canada, Australia, which country would you like to live? and Why?

If it is not one of the three that you want to live in, then where and why please?

Thank you

i wish all theses wars and fighting would stop ,it upsets me and i some times want to end my own life and no want to live in this society or bad world ,

Are you hungry?

Everyone is hungry.

Just that everyone has a different level of an empty stomach.

Give a homeless person a dollar....they are greatful

Give a millionaire a dollar...they look with disgust.

this example is with money...

but....it fits with everything a human values...

including a mate

win the Powerball Lottery. The cost of a ticket in Virginia is $2. The grand prize is currently over $900,000,000.00 (minus taxes). The payments will be broken out into 29 equal annual payments for the rest of the winner's lifetime. Should the winner die before the 29th payment the money will go their heirs if any. Of course if they die without any heirs then it goes to their state.

So if you are single, fear not. People will be lining up to marry you so they can become your heir. Use caution however because some of those new friends wishing to marry you may also have a boyfriend or girlfriend who will happily kill you so their secret love can inherit the money.

Now some people do not wish to wait 29 years before getting all the money due them. For them there is a cash out option. The person utilizing the Cash Out option will get one check (minus taxes) of $558,000,000.00.

The odds of being the winner are one in several billion. Often there is no Grand Prize winner so the money just grows and grows. Next week if there is no winner tonight the Jackpot will be at least $1,300,000,000.00

In terms of risk vs. potential reward a $2 ticket tonight is a pretty small risk to take for almost a Billion dollars in reward. Tickets are only sold in America.

Needless to say if you win in all but six states your name and picture will be made public and your life will instantly change.

The drawing will be in an hour. If any of you reading this win, please give me a hundred thousand dollars. Thank you.

................... live your life for yourself

in a little town.....only so many places and the same ole faces....hmmm...time to relocate....or travel more often is the dilemna...

Life is Beautiful

Being a freelance, I have the privilege to work with many different people, from many different background. Always something new to learn, be it the work, or the people I am working with.

I think, the hardest part of working is dealing with people. We can't control how the do, why they do the way the do their work. Well, that makes life then, as in life we deal with people. This reminds me of a writer who deliberately withdraw himself from society, to live in a forest, by himself. That probably was the best decision he has ever made in his life. At least I enjoy reading his experience in Walden.

I was at the edge of my life and a good friend gave me a post it saying "This is your prescription" with this book written there. I rushed to the nearest book store and bought it. From this book I learned to live deliberately rather than desperately. This book has taught me to own my life back, live it the way I want it, not what society expect me to.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. — Henry David Thoreau



A book worth reading.

In this week’s laundry there were two shirts; a blue one and a red checked one. The blue shirt always had blue buttons and the red shirt had white buttons, but that is no longer the case. When I took the clothes out of the machine I was astonished to see that the blue shirt now has white buttons and the red shirt has blue buttons. I can’t explain it; I suppose it’s just one of those things. I can live with white buttons on the blue shirt, but blue buttons on the red shirt just looks wrong, so something needs to be done. There are seven buttons on each shirt, but, as I said, I’m prepared to put up with the white buttons on the blue shirt, so it is just the seven blue buttons on the red shirt that are causing the problem. However, I cannot replace the blue buttons on the red shirt with the white ones without removing them from the blue shirt first, which seems a pity because I don’t mind them being on the blue shirt; I only mind the blue buttons on the red shirt. It just seems so unfair that I have to deal with fourteen buttons when only seven buttons are bothering me, and, quite frankly, I am having trouble accepting it. I have decided to put both shirts back in the wash and hope that the problem sorts itself out. I realise that this is a long shot, but it’s worth a try.
