Two Wolves.

There is a story that I heard today, that I just had to re-tell.  I hope I get it right.

There was this little boy who was acting out, being destructive and just being naughty.  He was in a room with his Granfather.  The Grandfather took his Grandson aside and told him that he understood what the boy was doing and that he had done the very same thing when he was young.

So the little boy asked what he meant.

The Grandfather said that he had two wolves in his head.  One was a good and kind wolf who was considerate of other people, honest and always tried to do the right thing.  The other was a bad wolf who was, destructive, mean, dishonest and always got in trouble.  He then told his Grandson that they were always fighting to see who would win.

The little boy, fascinated, said "which wolf won?"

The Grandfather said the the wolf that won was the wolf that I fed.

WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED:

 Men Are Just Happier People--

 Our last name stays put.

 The garage is all ours.

 Wedding plans take care of themselves.

 Chocolate is just another snack.  

 We can never be pregnant.

 Car mechanics tell us the truth.

 The world is our urinal.

 We never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.

 We don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.

 Same work, more pay.

 Wrinkles add character.

 People never stare at our chest when We're talking to them.

 New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle our feet.

 One mood all the time.

 Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.

 We know stuff about tanks and engines.

 A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.

 We can open all our own jars.

 We get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.

 Our underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.

 Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.

 We never have strap problems in public.

 We are unable to see wrinkles in our clothes.

 Everything on our face stays its original color.

 The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.

 We only have to shave our face.

 We can play with toys all our life.

 One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons.

 We can wear shorts no matter how our legs look.

 We can "do" our nails with a pocket knife.

 We have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.

 We can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

 No wonder men are happier.

How Smart is Your Right Foot?

How smart is Your Right Foot?

Just try this.  It is from an  orthopedic surgeon............  

This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't.  It's pre-programmed in your brain!

1.  While sitting where you are at  your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and  make clockwise circles.

2.  Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right Hand.  Your foot will change direction.

I told you so !!!  And there's nothing you can do about it !!!!

You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are  going to try it again, if you've not already done so.

   "I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE"

 

 

 

  HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

 

1. Press 1 for English' is immediately banned.  English is the official language; speak it or wait at the   border until you can.
   
2. We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports.  We will use the 'Wal-Mart's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'
3. When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.
4. All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern   border. (six month tour) They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
5. Social security will immediately return to its original state.  If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. The president nor any other politician will not be able to touch it.
6. Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful   completion of urinalysis and a passing grade.
7. Professional Athletes --Steroids - The FIRST time you check positive you're banned for life.

9. One export will be allowed; Wheat... The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
10. All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off  the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When  disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether  it's a worthy cause.
11. The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.
12. The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.

Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes but a vote for me will get you better than what you have, and better than what you're gonna get.  Thanks for listening, and remember to write in my name on the ballot in November.

 

 

  God Bless America !!!!!!!!!!!

Bail Out?????

I recieved this in my email and had to share it with everyone.  After reading this, then apply the concept to the $700 Billion  bail-out now being considered for the financial sector.

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college - it'll be there

Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car - create jobs

Invest in the market - capital drives growth

Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else


Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( 'vote buy' ) economic incentive that is being proposed
by one of our candidates for President.


If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can 'never work.'

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC 

And remember, this plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

NOW APPLY THIS TO THE $700 BILLION BAIL-OUT NOW BEING CONSIDERED.

Holly Gator.......

This picture was taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Lake Wiess about 90 miles north of Birmingham, Alabama !

The helicopter pilot and the game warden were in communication via radio's here is a transcript of their conversation.

'Air1 have you a visual on the gator, over'

'Approaching inlet now, over'

'Roger Air1'

'Gator sighted…. Looks like it has a small animal in its mouth.. moving in, over'

'Roger Air1'

'Holy Crap it's a Deer!'

'confirm Air1.. did you say Deer?, Over'

'Roger.. a Deer in its mouth.. looks like a full sized buck.. that's a big gator, were gonna need more men, Over'

'Roger Air1..can you give me a idea on size of animal, over'

'Its big 25 feet at least, please advise Gator is heading to inlet.. do I pursue?, over'

That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth! 

The deer was later found to be a mature Stag and was measured at 11 feet! 

Are you ready to go skiing on Lake Wiess?! 

If you ski at the west end of the lake -- try not to fall. 

This alligator was found between Centre and Leesburg , Alabama near a house! Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator- guess he wouldn't cooperate... 

Anita and Charlie Rogers could hear the bellowing in the night. Their neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in the waterway that runs behind their house, but they dismissed the stories as exaggerations. 

'I didn't believe it,' Charles Rogers said, but they realized the stories were, if anything, understated. 

Alabama Parks and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast. Joe Goff, 6'5' tall, a game warden, walks past the 28-foot, 1-inch alligator he shot and killed in their back yard. 

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section III - Installment #16 "It’s All In My State of Mind” – Male & Female versions)

(If this is your first time on this site, you may want to begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])

If you are a regular reader of my Empowerment Process please read the Section II version of this poem first (male version, female version); then read this version.  

Winning...What Is It?

It's All In My State Of Mind

If I think I am beaten, I am.
If I think I dare not, I won't.
If I'd like to win, but think I can't,
It's almost certain I don't.
If I think I'll lose, I've lost.
For out in the world I'll find
Success begins with my own will-
It's all in my state of mind.

Full many a race is lost
Ere even a step is run,
And many a coward falls
Ere even their work's begun.
I'll think big, so my deeds will grow;
If I think small, I'll fall behind;
I'll think I can, so I know I will-
For it's all in my state of mind.

If I think I'm out-classed, I am;
I will think high, so I will rise;
I will be sure of myself
So I can win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster than;
But sooner or later, I'm going to win
And it's because I know I can.

I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.

• Your mind is a powerful tool and thoughts can influence actions.  What will you convince yourself of?

Funny Summer Olympics Comments

These are comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics, that I'm pretty sure they would like to retract:

1. Weightlifting commentator: 'This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria . I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.'
2. Dressage commentator: 'This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: 'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.'
4. Boxing Analyst: 'Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.'
5. Softball announcer: 'If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.'
6. Basketball analyst: 'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.'
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: 'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.'
8. Soccer commentator: 'Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field.'
9. Tennis commentator: 'One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?'
   

My New Project

As you may have discovered on my Apologies post, I have been trying to put a new project together and had become quite frustrated. Well this project, while still not complete, seems to be going in the right direction thanks to the assistance of an amazing benefactor, who a lot of you may know as Mister Linky.

When completed I will be looking for launch partners, so if anyone is interested please leave me your email address or just email me directly at info@mondaymorningpower.com. I currently have 15 committed launch partners and am looking for 50-100.

When the project is complete I will divulge the details.
