What you think does matter

Here are some stories I've been saving for when my kids grow up - actual events - funny.... It is very important to always know what to do in case of an emergency. It can save lives to be prepared. While walking down the street one day, my wife mistook the sound of a car back firing for the sound of a gun shot. She immediately went into action. She grabbed my arm and screamed “ everyone, STOP, DROP and Roll !” As a father, I try to teach my children the best way I know how. When my son turned two (2), he and my daughter found it an enjoyable exercise to run wildly around the house. Since my son does everything his sister does, I explained to my little girl that I wanted her to walk, not run in the house. It was a dangerous and unsafe thing to do, that is how people get hurt. If your running you can easily run into something and seriously get hurt. Feeling sure she understood what I was telling her, I turned around and walked straight into the closed glass porch door.... We decide

Remember September eleventh [ 9 - 11] Take a moment to remember, think back.. It’s not about being democrat or Republican - but American. It’s not about Obama or McCain - but Rights. It’s not about approval of the war - but honoring lives. It’s not about politics or rhetoric - but Freedom. Remember 9 - 11

General is His name.... Well the day came, general [ the dog we were caring for our friends ] is gone, yesterday was his last day. And while I know everyone knows I wont miss him [ no I did not hate him - just to much unwanted work caring for pets and kids ]. I will say this - I was surprised. I expected my kids to whimper and cry. To shout and pout about general leaving - but they didn't. in fact they almost seemed happy about it. ??? maybe it's because my daughter wont have to wake up at six thirty in the morning to walk him. or because my wife wont have to clean up after him. or maybe it's because my son lost his fear around the dog and the dog became - you know, part of the furniture as he lost interest in touching and petting and following that dog around the house. I do know this.. I will not miss the screams of my children fighting over who can sit closest to the dog. So to say my farewell to my four legged little friend - I wrote a song.... Oh happy days are here ag

I was talking with a friend - who would kill me if I mention her name, so I wont. And she was telling me how she has a friend who wants life insurance. I sell life insurance so she wanted to know if I could help. The sad part of this story is - thats it's to late to help these peopl. You see, This couple both lost thier parents one right after the other. Since thier parents didn't have life insurance, it fell upon them to cover the cost. most people don't realize that not only do you have to pay for funeral cost that can range from $6,000 to $10,000 dollars but you have to cover debts and ofcourse - death tax [ call it estate tax, death tax - it's just the government getting your money even after death ]. estate tax could be upto 50% of what your worth [ that includes savings, investments, even a business or house ]... This couple had both her parents and both his parents pass away. so they were pretty much left with no savings and when they realized that they didn'

You know, when your sick and you find yourself at three in the morning having a hard time breathing and you feel like your drowning in your own bed - you can’t help but think - "Am I going to die???? " Like the average person - I do not welcome death. I have so much to live for. If only to grow old, see my kids grow up, get married, and see my grand kids…. So even though I believe in heaven - I don’t want to be on the fast track to eternity. But when you think of death - you usually think of life insurance. There are two problems with life insurance - One: you the insured has to die. . . Again, not looking forward to that at an early age. Second: You pay out all this money and on the average - you live to atleast the ripe old age of 65 to 70 years old. At seventy - I’d probably would be welcoming eternity………. But who wants to spend $50 dollars a month up to $12,000 dollars over thirty years and live - knowing full well you can’t get that money back?! But I have good news!

You know, people are always complaining how bad it is here in America. yet they know nothing about the rest of the world. I've been sick the last 2 weeks and I've seen way to much TV. The problem is that I hear all these news cast on how America needs to be more like our foreign friends. Our Allies have so much better policies.... yet their people want to be Americans. Want to come to live in America..... Take for instance the video below... Women who become "widows" are basically sent off to a "holy city' to die. Outcaste by their families who don't want to pay to take care of them - "thanks for raising me Mom, hope you die quick..." And a government who doesn't want to pass one law to protect women’s rights - wait they have no rights. Bunch of Basta**** excuse. Can't help it, my dear old dad abandoned my family when I was a kid and my mother sacrificed her whole life to help raise us and give us a better life. But hey - lets be more li

Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park.

You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.

Nov. 6 - Indian doctors are operating on a two-year-old girl who was born with eight limbs in southern Bangalore. Laxmi was born to a poor family in a village in Araria district in India's eastern Bihar city. The illiterate villagers first considered her as an incarnation of Hindu Goddess Laxmi but after some time they realised that she was not well and needed medical help. Just looking at this video saddens me. I can't help but wonder "what if".... What if that was me, my child, my niece, nephew.... Life can be wonderful and sometimes life can be cruel.
