10 Reasons Why God Created Eve!
From My InBox:
10. God worried that Adam would always be lost in the garden because he knew men would never ask directions.
9. God knew that Adam would one day need someone to hand him the TV remote because men don't want to see what's on television, they want to see what else is on television.
8. God knew that Adam would never buy a new fig leaf when the seat wore out and therefore would need Eve to get one for him.
7. God knew that Adam would never make a doctors appointment for himself.
6. God knew that Adam would never remember which night was garbage night.
5. God knew that if the world was to be populated there would have to be someone to bear children, because men would never be able to handle it.
4. As "Keeper of the Garden" Adam would never remember where he put his tools.
3. The scripture account of creation indicates that Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.
2. As the Bible says, "It is not good for man to be alone." He only ends up getting himself in trouble.
AND the #1 REASON WHY GOD CREATED EVE is ...

1. When God had finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched his head and said, "I know I can do better than THIS!!"

"The Train Of Life"
From My InBox:
Some folks ride the train of life
Looking out the rear,
Watching miles of life roll by,
And marking every year.
They sit in sad remembrance,
Of wasted days gone by,
And curse their life for what it was,
And hang their heads and cry.
But, I don't concern myself with that,
I took a different vent,
I look forward to what life holds,
And not what has been spent.
So strap me to the engine.
As securely as I can be,
I want to be out on the front,
To see what I can see.
I want to feel the winds of change,
Blowing in my face,
I want to see what life unfolds,
As I move from place to place.
I want to see what's coming up,
Not looking at the past,
Life's too short for yesterdays,
It moves along too fast.
So if the ride gets bumpy,
While you are looking back,
Go up front and you may find,
Your life has jumped the track.
It's all right to remember,
'That's part of history,
But up front's where it's happening,
There's so much mystery.
The enjoyment of living,
Is not where we have been,
It's looking ever forward,
To another year and ten.
It's searching all the byways,
Never should you refrain,
For if you want to live your life,
You've gotta drive the train!

LIFE I AM THE NEW YEAR
From My InBox:
LIFE I AM THE NEW YEAR
Life I am the new year.
I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.
I am your next chance at the art of living.
I am your opportunity to practice
what you have learned about life
during the last twelve months.
All that you sought
and didn't find is hidden in me,
waiting for you to search it out
with more determination.
All the good that you tried for
and didn't achieve
is mine to grant
when you have fewer conflicting desires.
All that you dreamed but didn't dare to do,
all that you hoped but did not will,
all the faith that you claimed but did not have --
these slumber lightly,
waiting to be awakened
by the touch of a strong purpose.
I am your opportunity
to renew your allegiance to Him who said,
"behold, I make all things new."
I am the new year.
Remember "Home Alone"?
Have you watched "Home Alone"? Here is a version of "Pets Alone".

never lie to your mother!!
From My InBox:
Peter invited his mother for dinner, during the course of the meal; his mother couldn't help but notice how lovely Peter's flat mate, Joanne, was.
She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Peter and his flat mate than met the eye.
Reading his mum's thoughts, Peter volunteered, 'I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Joanne & I are just flat mates'.
About a week later, Joanne came to Peter saying, 'Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the frying pan, you don't suppose she took it do you?
'Well I doubt it, but I'll e-mail her just to be sure' said Peter.
So he sat down and wrote
DEAR MOTHER,
I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DID' TAKE THE FRYING PAN FROM MY HOUSE. I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DID NOT' TAKE THE FRYING PAN BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IT HAS BEEN MISSING EVER SINCE YOU WERE HERE FOR DINNER.
LOVE PETER
Several days later, Peter received an email from his mother which read
DEAR SON,
I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DO' SLEEP WITH JOANNE, AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DO NOT' SLEEP WITH JOANNE, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IF SHE WAS SLEEPING IN HER OWN BED, SHE WOULD HAVE FOUND THE FRYING PAN BY NOW.
LOVE MUM

My InBox:
ARE YOU BUYING AND EATING " BABY CARROTS " ? (False)
According to Urban Legends and Snopes washing baby carrots and other ready-to-eat fresh vegetable products, such as bagged salads in a chlorine-and-water solution before packaging is an accepted practice in processing fresh cut ready to eat vegetables. The purpose of washing vegetables with chlorinated water is to protect consumers' health by reducing bacteria that could cause food borne illnesses.
The "white covering" that you see on refrigerated baby carrots or "cocktail carrots" is a harmless discoloration resulting from moisture loss and/or abrasion during storage.
You can look at the labels and opt not to buy "baby cut carrots". Go for "baby carrots" which have been harvested while they are still young and tiny.
====================================================================
From My In Box:
Baby Carrots are not what you think they are
'The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for
IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc.
The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the
larger carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into
cocktail carrots .
What you may not know and should know is the following: once the carrots are cut
and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine
in order to preserve them (this is the same chlorine used your pool) and since they
do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose
of chlorine.
You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days,
a white covering will form on the carrots; this is the chlorine which resurfaces.
At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing and simple
to serve vegetables which are unhealthy?
We do hope that this information can be passed on to as many people as possible
in the hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are
processed. Chlorine is a very well known carcinogen.'

We're just funny sometimes...
My InBox:
If money doesn't grow on trees, then why do banks have branches?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
Why doesn't glue stick to its bottle?
Why do you still call it a building when its already built?
If its true that we are here to help others,
What are others here for?
If you're not supposed to drink and drive, Why do bars have parking
lots?

God created the donkey and said to him.
"You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset
carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass,
you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years."
The donkey answered:
"I will be a donkey, but to live 50years is much. Give me only 20years"
God granted his wish.
....................................................................
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God created the dog and said to him:
"You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend.
You will eat the scraps that he gives you and
you will live 30years.
You will be a dog. "
The dog answered:
"Sir, to live 30years is too much,give me only15 years.
" God granted his wish.size=6>
........................................................................
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God created the monkey and said to him:
"You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks.
You will be amusing and you will live
20 years. "
The monkey
answered:
"To live 20years is too much, give me only 10years."
God granted his wish.
....................................................................
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally God created man and said to him:
"You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth.
You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals.
You will dominate the world and you will live 20years."
Man responded:
"Sir, I will be a man but to live only
20 years is very little,
give me the 30years that the donkey refused,
the 15years that the dog did not want and
the 10years the monkey refused.
" God granted man's wish ................................................................
And since then, man lives
20 years as a man ,
marries and spends
30 years like a donkey,
working and carrying all the burdens on his back.
Then when his children are grown,
he lives 15years like a dog taking care of the house
and eating whatever is given to him,
so that when he is old,
he can retire and live 10years like a monkey,
going from house to house and from one son or
daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.

Life is like having a cup of tea.
From My InBox:
Life is like having a cup of tea. You sit by the side of the window, lift the cup and take a careless sip, only to realize somebody forgot to put the sugar. Too lazy to go for it....... you somehow struggle through the sugarless cup....until you discover undisclosed sugar crystal sitting at the bottom.......
To laugh often and much
To win the respect
Of intelligent people
And the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation
Of honest critics and endure
The betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world
A bit better, whether
By a healthy child,
A garden patch
Or a redeemed social condition,
To know even one life
Has breathed easier
Because you have lived.
That is to have succeeded .......

Of honest critics and endure
The betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world
A bit better, whether
By a healthy child,
A garden patch
Or a redeemed social condition,
To know even one life
Has breathed easier
Because you have lived.
That is to have succeeded .......
Saturday Day - Working day !!!
Have you seen the expression when Saturday turns out to be a working day……………
Go Down….
Good Morning. Have a Wonderful Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From My InBox:
CONFIDENCE
Once, all village people decided to pray for rain.
On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy
came with an Umbrella,
that's Confidence
***
TRUST
Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby
when you throw him in the air,
he laughs......because he knows you will catch him;
that's Trust
***
HOPE
Every night we go to bed,
we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning
but still you have plans for the coming day ;
that's Hope
***
Have Confidence, Trust & Never Lose Hope...

Racial Jokes
From My In Box:
THE GENIE
A drunkard jobless Indian stumbled onto a lamp. He
rubbed on it and a magical genie Singh with a turban
appeared and said "I grant you two wishes, Macha.."
The Indian thought for a while and said "OK, I want
to be rich like a Chinaman!
Poof! When the smoke disappeared, the Indian was
smartly dressed, hair jelled and combed back like
Chow Yuen Fatt complete with handphone in hand.
As he walked towards his brand new shiny Mercedes,
he noticed his own reflection.
Not only was he smartly dressed, he was also much
fairer in complexion. The shocked Indian angrily
summoned the genie and complained "Are you
deaf or what? I said I wanted to be rich like a
Chinaman, not become a Chinaman!"
I don't want to be a Chinaman because they cheat,
lie and con their way to become rich..."
The genie reminded him that he's entitled to one
more wish "What do you want then, Muthu?"
To which Muthu quickly replied "I just want to be
rich and I don't want to work!"
Poof! He was transformed into a Bumiputra...

TO: God.com
From My InBox:
Dear Lord,
Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm
and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.
Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits 'send'.
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.com
Amen

Coke+Ajinomoto Can be Used To Rape Ladies (False)
According to Snopes, some people who are monosodium glutamate (MSG) intolerant do experience the adverse effects of drowsiness and rapid heartbeat. There are no scientific facts to back the claim that when coke is mixed with MSG, it becomes an aphrodisiac.
But do heed the advise not to accept any drinks from any stranger or acquaintance.
===================================================================================
From My InBox:
DO YOU KNOW ? Coke+Ajinomoto Can be Used To Rape Ladies
Dear friends,
I received a news about the recent tactic used to spike
girls' drink.
It is a cheap and widely used method.
This method was used in Canny Ong murder.
Rapist uses this method.
Coca-cola+ajinomoto/mono sodium glutamate = a medicine
which will cause drowsiness and excitement in the victim.
This mixture is poisonous if used too often on the victim.
Please send this to all your female friends, sisters, & your loved ones and ask
them to beware.
DO NOT accept coca-cola or any other drinks from stranger / even
if it is your friend that you are not very close with.
Regards,
Hishamuddin Alias ( ASP )

I received a news about the recent tactic used to spike
girls' drink.
It is a cheap and widely used method.
This method was used in Canny Ong murder.
Rapist uses this method.
Coca-cola+ajinomoto/mono sodium glutamate = a medicine
which will cause drowsiness and excitement in the victim.
This mixture is poisonous if used too often on the victim.
Please send this to all your female friends, sisters, & your loved ones and ask
them to beware.
DO NOT accept coca-cola or any other drinks from stranger / even
if it is your friend that you are not very close with.
Regards,

Some facts about Mammograms.
Since I have written about "MAMMOGRAM SERVICE AT SUBSIDISED RATE", I think it is best to also share this article, "Mammograms: What For, Exactly?" by Dr. Ben Kim.
He wrote that a routine mammogram screening typically subjects a woman to more than 1000 times the amount of radiation that is used for a single chest x-ray. As we all know, radiation is capable of contributing to cancer and heart disease.
He added that performing a breast self-examination is a better option and provided a link to Pictures of Breast Self-Exam.
Read the article yourself for the rest of the reasons he provided, based on information on mammograms by Samuel Epstein, M.D.

10 Funny phone answering messages
From My InBox:
10. My wife and I can't come to the phone right now, but if you'll leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we're finished.
9. Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need siding, windows or a hot tub, and their carpets are clean. They give to charity at the office and don't need their picture taken. If you're still with me, leave your name and home phone number and they will get back to you.
8. This is not an answering machine - this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your number, and your reason for calling..... And I'll think about returning your call.
7. Hi! John's answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets.
6. Hi. This is John: If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my bank, you didn't lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don't worry, I have LOTS of money.
5. A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we're not here. So, leave a message.
4. Hello! If you leave a message, I'll call you soon. If you leave a "sexy" message, I'll call sooner.
3. Hi. Now YOU say something.
2. Hi. I'm probably home; I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you.
1. Hello, you've reached Jim and Sonya. We can't pick up the phone right now, because we're doing something we really enjoy. Sonya likes doing it up and down, and I like doing it left to right...real slow. So leave a message, and when we're done brushing our teeth, we'll call you back .

Scotch with 2 drops of water
Scotch with two drops of water.
A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says, "I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today."
The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me."
As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink, too."
The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water."
"Coming up," says the bartender.
As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, "I would like to buy you one, too."
The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water."
"Coming right up," the bartender says. As he gives her the drink, he says, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?"
The old woman replies, "Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue."
'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your sweetie says, 'Let's go upstairs
and make love,' and you answer,
'Pick one; I can't do both!'
'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your friends compliment you
on your new alligator shoes
and you're barefoot.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
A sexy babe catches your fancy
and your pacemaker opens the garage door,
'OLD' IS WHEN...
Going bra less
pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
You don't care where your spouse goes,
just as long as you don't have to go along.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police
'OLD' IS WHEN...
'Getting a little action'
means you don't need to take any fiber today.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
'Getting lucky' means you find your car
in the parking lot.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
An 'all nighter' means not getting up
to use the bathroom.
AND
'OLD' IS WHEN...
You are not sure these are jokes

Are We Friends without Faces.... !!!
From My InBox:
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,
PMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we're hurtin.
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.

Beautiful short story about love
From My InBox:
Maria married Peter this day. At the end of the wedding party,
Maria's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook.
With Rs.1000 deposit amount.
Mother: 'Maria, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Peter. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'
Maria shared this with Peter when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.
This was what they did after certain time:
- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Peter after marriage
- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Maria
- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali
- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Maria got pregnant
- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Peter got promoted
...... and so on...
However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things. They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the nastiest people in the world.... no more love...Kind of typical nowadays, huh?
One day Maria talked to her Mother:
'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!'
Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first.
Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'
Maria thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account.
While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home.
When she was home, she handed the passbook to Peter, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.
The next day, Peter gave the passbook back to Maria. She found a new deposit of Rs.5000. And a line next to the record: 'this is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How
much happiness you've brought me.'
They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.
Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask. I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru all the good years in their life.
"When you fall, in any way, Don't see the place where you fell, Instead see the place from where you slipped.
Life is about correcting mistakes."
Always be happy & keep smiling,

Impossible love. Do you mind?
Here is an impossible love that can get me all confused. I love playing with words. Here is one.
Imagine MIND stands for "Mimic Incidents Not Decent".
That is what all minds tend to love to do sometimes. So, the call is to
DON'T Mimic Incidents Not Decent!
Why? Because I do mind, especially, if my kids are at it.
So, what am I saying here?
DON'T Mimic Incidents Not Decent. I do MIND.
But then, that is the kind of thing the mind loves to do that I would prick my kids up and away from.

Free Hugs, anyone?
I discovered from Oliver Ding that is a Free Hug campaign going on. Juan Mann started it with a mission to reach out and hug strangers to brighten up their lives.
Read his story to find out how it all started and watch this video of Juan Mann in action.
There is a Hindu spiritual leader, Mata Amritanandamayi, who is also known as 'Amma' or the 'hugging saint'. So, for those who may think it is inappropriate to hug strangers, do it for spiritual connection.
Find out when and where the next free hug event will be organised and see if you can take part in it. You can also create your own freehugs movement. Just use its FORUM (link currently broken) to recruit volunteers in your area.
Their advise, which you should take note of, is that you make sure that you will not get into trouble with the local laws to start your Hugathon! Need the inspiration to start? Watch more videos of this movement initiated in other countries.
