Desperate brokers try to change the way they do business.

Should that scare me a little?????

Did you know that you can track where your wife or husband is by putting their cell # into the internet.

The GPS chip in all pnones will tell you their whereabouts at all times. Everytime i check, my wife is at work or at the mall.

I heard a guy speak today about sales, but what really fascinated me was what he had to say about birth order. He pointed out that you can tell a lot about people by where they are in the birth chain. you know oldest middle child and youngest. I am going to have more on this later when i do some more research.

For now, take this test and see if they can predict where you are. I was honest and they were dead on.

If you are interested in sales, read this short article.

Last week on vacation, we took one of those excursions. It was way more than I had planned on. My wife was a wimp and made me take the video, while she held on to my belt. The picture might be a little shaky in parts. I am glad to be on solid ground.

Vacation friends. We all know them, those are the people that you meet on vacation and have a great time all week. I have met lots of them. I am still friendly with a few. You kind of hook up on a booze cruise or a a dinner, or poolside. You know when you meet them that you will have a good time. In St Kitts we met the Tuckers. They were great. We had lots of laughs and drank our asses off together. They are from the Maryland area. Tim sells condoms for a living, and Adriana designs costumes for high end strippers. haha not really. Nothing that glamorous.
I hope we stay in touch, they made a good vacation great.
I am still waiting to hear back from the Cox’s from England. We met them on a cruise, and we have lost touch.

“No dar papaya!”

I am off to Saint Kitts tommorow, unless I have internet service in the hotel, I might not be posting for a week.

When you read the blogs and you see something ( a word or a phrase ) and it is in blue or underlined, that means that it goes to a link on the web. Click it on. sometimes that is the best stuff.

I might say click here, or it might say menu 

Be sure to take the polls and above all thank you for reading the blog. I love comments and feedback.

What a stupid holiday. It most certainly has lost the religous meaning to most. All holiday’s should be on Monday or Friday anyway, or whats the purpose.
On another post someday, I am going to list my favorite holidays. My top one would be July fourth for sure. Right up there would be Halloween ( is that a holiday?)
Is it me, or is the the earliest Easter ever? that means no holidays in April. Unless you are a Massachusetts hack, then you get one of those contrived holidays, patriots day, evacuation day. The first is so you can watch the marathon and the second is so you can get drunk on St Patty’s day in Southie.

Some of the few times in my life that I have had some regrets have been on a golf course.I suck and I know it. So why do I get frustrated? I do not know, but a few times I have been so frustratedI have thrown clubs. I have regretted all of them. You can definitely hurt someone. You almost always look like an asshole. Why do you get mad at a game that you know you suck at and is supposed to be fun? Beats me…..

One time my cousin Fred who is, or was a golf course superintendent got pissed off at a shot he hit and threw his club up into a tree. He had to ask a member of the grounds crew at Pembroke Country club to retrieve it. I remember his face to this day. I never saw someone so embarrassed.

I wish I could say I tossed my last one, but being the angry white man that I am, it sometimes gets the best of you and you just got to let one fly. SO, if you have to chuck one, at least learn how to do it properly. CLICK HERE for directions

This might help you. Only takes a minute to complete.

Check your Driver’s License.

I definitely removed mine. I suggest you all do the same. Now you can see

anyone’s Driver’s License on the Internet, including your own! I just

searched for mine and there it was…picture and all!

Thanks Homeland Security! Go to the web site, and check it out.

It’s unbelievable! Just enter your name, city and state to see if yours

is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked

‘Please Remove’. This will remove it from public viewing, but not from

law enforcement. Please notify all your friends so they can protect

themselves, too.

Believe me they will thank you for it.

This is harder than you would think. Try It!!!

Today I tried something different. Instead of being my usual garrulous, loquacious and ebullient self, i listened and tried to see what i could learn. So at the health club in 2 hours here is what i learned.

Cliff taught me what a figure head was.

A ship often has an elaborate figure carved from wood – normally a maiden – attached to the bows or prow of the vessel to bring good luck to the ship and its voyages and act as a guiding hand and inspiration to the crew

Every now and then the artists who carved these worlds produced something rather special. It is a shame this particular skill goes largely un-noticed – the exquisite works shown on our pages rarely feature the name or history of the artist

I learned from Bob what the term “bite the bullet” meant

In the days before effective anesthetics soldiers were given bullets to bite on to help them endure pain. Improvements in battlefield medicine has seen the real act of biting bullets migrated into metaphor, although it must still happen occasionally.

Pete told me a  joke:

A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, “If you kiss me, I’ll turn into a beautiful princess.” He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are and how you are my hero” The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire week.” The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.

The frog then cried out, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I’ll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want.” Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, “What is the matter? I’ve told you I’m a beautiful princess, that I’ll stay with you for a year and do anything you want. Why won’t you kiss me?”

The man said, “Look, I’m a computer programmer. I don’t have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool.”

Lou told me about how many times the septic system has to be cleaned. Jimmy taught me about the effects of the”Z” pak, and as always, Frank talked to me about saving money. Charlie taught me about the seven ills of today’s society.

I have worked out with Greg for five years now. I know more about paint than any man alive. I did not get a dissertation on Pittsburgh acrylic paint today, but there is tommorow.

This is not a rant, but you can learn something from anybody. Even from this silly “blog”

Golf season is around the corner. Sharpen your skills………………

I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life, is this true?

A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it… don’t waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

  Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies.. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products. 

   
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
 

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

 
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?

A: Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain, Good! 

   
Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you?

A: YOU’RE NOT LISTENING!!! …. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you? 

  
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?

A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It’s the best feel-good food around!

 

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

 A:   If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me. 

 

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! ‘Round’ is a shape! 

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:

 

 ”Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – Chardonnay in one hand – chocolate in the other – body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO HOO, What a Ride”

AND…..For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION 

Eat and drink what you like.
