    Hi! I keep forgetting to come to shelfari. I am all consumed with facebook, which is no excuse. This is a great site and I miss it from time to time. I always miss chatting with you.
    How are things going for you my long lost friend?
    I'm off to add a new book to my list of read books.
    Take care.
    Hugs

    She is that.
    She is fearless and want to do every thing herself.
    Whenever she sees a bed she gets up on it and starts jumping.
    Even if she falls, she will repeat again and again.
    Yes she will be ok
    but old habits die hard.

    She has been to doctor off and on.
    She has no fear.
    A while ago we had goats and cows in our house.
    She went and kissed the goat on its mouth
    Next day she was ill.
    How can she be controlled.
    Last night she was in a party and remained with great grand mothers who pampered her and gave her lots to eat........and she ate whatever she could.
    At home she won't eat anything.
    Still she is cutest in the world.
    A life to all family.

    (A reason to laugh :D)
    The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.
    Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."
    "Very good," said the teacher.
    Little Jenny was next:
    "I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events."
    "Very good, Jenny," said the teacher..
    Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn.
    The teacher held her breath ...
    Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467,"
    "$2,467!" cried the teacher,
    "What in the world were you selling"
    "Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.
    "Toothbrushes," echoed the teacher,
    "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"
    "I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand, I gave everybody who walked by a free sample."
    They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog shit!"
    Then I would say,"It is dog shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"
    "I used the Obama governmental approach of giving you something shitty, but looks good, for free, and then making you pay to get the shitty taste out of your mouth."
    The teacher was speechless. . . . . . . .
    Little Johnny got 5 stars for his efforts, bless his heart.

    A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a big airport.

    As she would need to wait many hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies.

    She sat down in an armchair, in the VIP room of the airport, to rest and read in peace.

    Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat, opened his magazine and started reading.

    When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought: "What a nerve! If I was in the mood, I would punch him for daring!"

    For each cookie she took, the man took one too. This was infuriating her but she didn't want to cause a scene.

    When only one cookie remained, she thought: "ah... What can this abusive man do now?" Then, the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half, giving her one half.

    Ah! That was too much! She was much too angry now! In a huff, she took her book, her things and stormed to the boarding place.

    When she sat down in her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her purse to take her eyeglasses, and, to her surprise, her packet of cookies was there, untouched, unopened!

    She felt so ashamed!! She realized that she was wrong... She had forgotten that her cookies were kept in her purse.

    The man had divided his cookies with her, without feeling angered or bitter.

    ...while she had been very angry, thinking that she was dividing her cookies with him. And now there was no chance to explain herself...nor to apologize.

    There are 4 things that you cannot recover.

    The stone...after the throw.
    The word...after it's said.
    The occasion...after the loss.
    The time...after it's gone.

    i like this story ... hope you too :D

    Have a beautiful Day friend

    Once X asked Y, "What is the secret behind your happy married life?"

    Y said, "You should share responsibilities with due love and respect to each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems."

    X asked, "Can you explain?"

    Y said, "In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other's decisions."

    Still not convinced, X asked Y "Give me some examples"

    Y said, "Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how much amount to save, when to visit home town, which Sofa, air conditioner, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not etc are decided by my wife. I just agree to it"

    X asked, "Then what is your role?"

    Y said, "My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America should attack Iraq, whether Britain should lift sanction over Zimbabwe, whether to widen African economy, whether Sachin Tendulkar should retire etc. Do you know one thing, my wife NEVER objects to any of these".

    "Funny in Flight Announcements"


    1. "As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."

    2. "Last one off the plane must clean it."

    3. After landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."

    4. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. Whoa!"

    5. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced: "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."

    6. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with two small children, decide now which one you love more."

    7. "Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you or your money more than Southwest Airlines."

    8. "Your seat cushions can be used for flotation. In the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments."

    9. From a Southwest Airlines employee: "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only four ways out of this airplane."

    10. Pilot: "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern."

    11. From the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately none of them are on this flight."

    12. This was overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final approach, the captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the flight attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened while the captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

    13. Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."

    14. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a, "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, did we land or were we shot down?"

    15. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the flight attendant got on the PA and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal."

    16. Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways."
