Notes From Tacky Cards

"I've always wanted to have someone to hold, someone to love.
After having met you, I've changed my mind."

"Looking back over the years that we've been together,
I can't help but wonder: What the heck was I thinking?"

"As the days go by,
 I think of how lucky I am that you're not
 here to ruin it for me."

"Congratulations on your promotion.
 Before you go, I would like you to take this knife
out of my back. You'll probably need it again."

"Someday I hope to get married, but not to you."

"I just want you to know that I'm sorry for what happened, especially since you survived."

"Happy Birthday! You look great for your age...
Almost Lifelike!"

"Congratulations on getting married!
It's not every day you decide to ruin your life!"

"I always wanted to be rich, powerful, and well respected.
While I'm dreaming, I wish you weren't so darn ugly."

We Know We're Getting Dumber When?

1.   You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2.  You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3.  You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

4.  You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you. 

5.  Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6.  You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in your groceries.

7.  Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8.  Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60)  years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it. 

10.  You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. 

11.  You're reading this and nodding and laughing. 

12.  Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. 

13.  You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. 

14.  You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

 

And you know this applies to other computer addicted friends and none of you would log off in fear of missing something!

TIMES......THEY ARE A'CHANGING

Remembering Our Heroes Of All Nations Past And Present On This Memorial Day

The Keepers of Our Liberty

ALL GAVE SOME...SOME GAVE ALL

Those men and women

Brave and true,

Who risk their lives for me and you

so that we can have tomorrow.

 If tomorrow starts without them

 And they're not here to see

 The sunrise in the sky

 Or the birds upon the tree

 

Remember they gave their lives

For you and me.

 

They've fought in bloody battles

On the land, in the air and sea.

They've fought in mud and sand and dust

Fighting enemies wherever they must.

Even tho some wars are unjust

They gave their lives

For you and me.

As tomorrow starts without them,

We'll keep this special day.

A time apart, to show from the heart

Our thanks in every way.

 

Now they rest in Gods arms you see,

Because they gave their lives 

For you and me.

The Green Book

                                                   From the Collections of The Henry Ford.

The other evening I was watching a program on PBS and they mentioned a book called "The Green Book" for African - Americans back in the late 1940's.

The GREEN BOOK with its list of hotels, boarding houses, restaurants, beauty shops, barber shops and various other services can most certainly help solve your travel problems. It was the idea of Victor H. Green, the publisher, in introducing the Green Book, to save the travelers of his race as many difficulties and embarrassments as possible.”

I did a search and I came up with this site: Click here and you can view a pdf. file of the book.
