I was driving along with my window open and I was at a spot where I had to drive pretty slowly when I heard all kinds of noises from branches cracking, breaking and falling.  So I pulled over and was looking into the woods when I saw the source of the sounds.  There were at least 15-20 of them but they were hard to spot because the woods were so thick.  These birds were so heavy and a lot of the branches so dead that as they landed on the branches 20 and 30 feet in the air the branches were breaking off and falling to the ground one right after the other.  So it was just a continuous sound of cracking and breaking branches as the birds moved about trying to find a firm branch trying to stay put.   The pictures do not do justice.  These birds were HUGE and scary looking.

SILLY SATURDAY - THE HUSBAND STORE

One of my good friends just sent me this and I thought you would all enjoy it.

Husband Store

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.  


PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.


The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - "HOW'S THIS FOR A POSE?"

THE GIRL WHO SILENCED THE WORLD FOR FIVE MINUTES



What a powerful video.  This young girl is amazing.  I wish I had half her strength at that age.  Well worth watching and passing on.  A strong reminder we must do everything in our power to help save the environment for our children and our children's children in the future.
