joke: "The Talking Dog"

The Talking Dog:

A guy is driving around San Francisco, and he sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog For Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador Retriever sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks.

"Yep," the Lab replies.

"So, what's your story?"

The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from country
to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running."

"But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security wandering near
suspicious characters and listening in."

"I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."


The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

"Ten dollars," the guy says.

"Ten dollars? This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

"Because he's a liar. He never did any of that shit."

Odd Joke about Food..

A woman asks her husband, "Would you like some bacon and eggs? A slice of toast and maybe some grapefruit and coffee?"

He declines. "Thanks for asking, but I'm not hungry right now. It's this Viagra," he says. "It's really taken the edge off my appetite."

At lunchtime she asked if he would like something. "A bowl of soup, homemade muffins, or a cheese sandwich?"

He declines. "The Viagra," he says, "really trashes my desire for food."

Come dinnertime, she asks if he wants anything to eat. "Would you like
a juicy porterhouse steak and scrumptious apple pie? Or maybe a rotisserie chicken or tasty stir fry?"

He declines again. "No, still not hungry." !

"Well," she says, "would you mind letting me up? I'm starving."

A cheap safe way that I raised my mood..

32 ounces of water in the morning.., just tap water, raised my mood .


I have read that most of us are dehydrated during sleep, if the heat comes on. The blowing air does it.,,It dries us out.. In the summer, when we get air conditioning, the same thing happens. Recently, I have tried this and it works..yes, it really works to raise my mood. I tried it. Within the first half hour upon waking, I drink 32 oz of tap water. . In about an hour and a half, I noted a significant improvement in my mood....no matter what else was going on...

Now this one is cheap, has not hurt me, (other than going to pee a few times more) and could work for another person.... Recently, I read that 90 percent of people in this country are dehydrated. It was an attempt I think to sell bottled water, but regular tap water is fine. With regular tap water, no one makes a cent on it. In general, we wouldn't notice the improvement in mood an hour and a half after drinking the water, because it is not.."right away" But a good friend of mine recommended this, and it works for me.

this is not medical advise, this is taken from one person's experience only

Nice clean mystery joke..yes, indeed..

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a a camping
trip. After a good dinner
and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night,
and go to sleep.,,,,

Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his
faithful friend.
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you
see "I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes, '
replies Watson.

"And what do you deduce from that?' Watson ponders for a minute.

"Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are
millions of galaxies..,
potentially billions of planets. Astrologically,
I observe that Saturn is in Leo. I deduce that the time is about
quarter
past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that we
will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that
God is all powerful, and we are a small part of a huge universe.

...What does it say to you Holmes? Watson asks.
"Holmes is silent for a moment. 'Watson, you idiot,
'Someone has stolen our tent!'"

More US babies die day they are born than any industrialized country, report shows

http://esciencenews.com/sources/msnbc.science/2013/04/30/more.us.babies.die.day.they.are.born.any.industrialized.country.report.shows

By Maggie Fox, Senior Writer, NBC News

The U.S. is a worse place for newborns than 68 other countries, including Egypt, Turkey and Peru, according to a report released Tuesday by Save the Children.

A million babies die every year globally on the same day they were born, including more than 11,000 American newborns, the report estimates. Most of them could be saved with fairly cheap interventions, the group says.

“The birth of a child should be a time of wonder and celebration. But for millions of mothers and babies in developing countries, it is a dance with death,” the report reads. “A baby’s first day is the most dangerous day of life—in the United States and countries rich and poor,” it adds.


“The United States has the highest first-day death rate in the industrialized world. An estimated 11,300 newborn babies die each year in the United States on the day they are born. This is 50 percent more first-day deaths than all other industrialized countries combined.”

It is very very sad. This was buried last week, but is out there today ... But needs to be discussed anyway. I don't know what to say..

Eyes on the Road - Most Parents Multitask While Driving

http://www.today.com/health/eyes-road-most-parents-multitask-while-driving-6C9790794

Parents hope their children won't text and drive, but a new study suggests many parents are guilty of multitasking behind the wheel.
The results show about 90 percent of parents surveyed reported technology-related multitasking while driving their children in the past month, such as talking on the phone, texting or changing a DVD or CD.

Other types of multitasking were also common: About 70 percent reported performing childcare duties while driving, such as feeding their child or picking up a dropped toy, and 70 percent reported engaging in self-care, such as grooming or eating.

What's more, multitasking was more common among parents who'd reported being in a car accident at some point in their lives compared with those who'd never been in a crash, the researchers said.

"Lots of attention has been given to distracted teen drivers. However, our results indicate parents are frequently distracted while driving," study researcher Dr. Michelle Macy, of the University of Michigan, said in a statement.
____________________________________________________________________________________________

Within the last 6 to 8 months, I have seen more drivers turn right from a left lane then in the last 10 years. That is, I am sitting in the right lane of a 4 lane main street (two in each direction) and the driver decides at the last minute, to make a right turn in front of me, or someone ahead of me. These are people who are not paying the least attention to what lane they are in. Probably texting..Now, luckily, others, and me, let these idiots thru. But sooner or later there will be an accident. Very very sad about drivers today.
