Old Age and Treachery

There are times with bloggers life that we run out of idea of what to write, advice by some to not to write -- if you can't find an inspiration just don't or else it going to end up crap! not sure if it is true of not. Honestly, this week i couldn't find anything to post here at Clickdtalk and so i will post again another funny email i got.

I can say this funny emails saves me a lot of time because it brighten up readers day and give a smile which is contagious so it's a good thing...it create a good energy.

So here's the post that i am sure will make you smile. You can use this aswell when you get speeding ticket hahaa! but i am not sure if effective or not. Enjoy! and happy weekend everyone.

A mature (over 40) lady gets pulled over for speeding...

Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?

Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.

Older Woman: Oh, I see.

Officer: Can I see your license please?

Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.

Officer: Don't have one?

Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.

Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.

Older Woman: I can't do that.

Officer: Why not?

Older Woman: I stole this car.

Officer: Stole it?

Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.

Officer: You what?

Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see

The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please!

The woman steps out of her vehicle.

Older woman: Is there a problem sir?

Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.

Older Woman: Murdered the owner?

Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.

The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.

Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?

Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned.

Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.

The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.

The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.

Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.

Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.

Don't Mess With Mature Ladies

Time OutTime

In some country it is illegal to smack, hit or hurt your kids which is fair enough. In some country in the other hand the government didn't do anything about it, some parents call it a tough love.

Here in NZ it is illegal to smack our kids and most of the parents practice to give the kids a time out time, naughty chair, naughty zone, sent them to their bedroom anything to correct their bad behaviour. I grew up in the Philippines where bought of my parents smack us with anything closer to them, i am not saying that what they are doing is right or wrong...i am raised as good child and always have the same respect to my parents.

Before i have my own kids i always have the same mentality with some not most but some parents in the Philippines tough love -- now that i have my own, i am in the reality of motherhood i have this constant battle within my mind and heart of how to correct my kids attitudes i watch supper nanny the British show and i learned a lot. I read a lot of parenting magazine and books too because i love my kids and i don't want to raise them in a wrong way but which one is correct and which one is wrong? how can we tell we lead them in a correct path. Ooh! parenting i have this ever growing appreciation with my parents the more my kids grow and learned from them the more appreciation grow.

With my two kids, a 4 years old and soon to be 2 years old, This is what i learned so far -- Ask, Tell, Act method and i can say that it is hard to achieve unless you are very consistent and stand to it, follow through and be brave, because it is hard to resist their with their cuteness and have that cry that makes you always want to hug them and kiss them. Just yesterday my son test my Ask, tell, act method which by the way i just learned this from reading my favorite magazine -- he doesn't like to be in the naughty mat so before he keep on crying and getting off from the naughty mat where he supposed to stay there to four minutes, so we have this back and fort until he surrender and quietly serves he's time. Consistent is what make them listen and i learned from my kids and it makes me feel good as a parent.

I am not sure of how many parents practice this but i find it effective and at the same time i have not hurt my kids in the process...i know that some parent's dis-agree this method but i think this is what works for me.

What about you? how do you make your kiddos behave appropriately?

I'll pay you $5000

Not really -- it's just the title i can think of of this another funny email i got from my sister in law...and it's something to do with the $5000. Time to laugh guys.

A Rich man and a Average man are seated next to each other on a flight from Auckland to Sydney. The Rich man asks if he would like to play a game. The the Average man wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to punch out a few zeds. The Rich man persists and says, 'I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me fifty dollars, and vice versa.'

Again, the Average man declines and tries to get some sleep. The Rich man says, 'Okay, if you don't know the answer, you pay me $50, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $5000.'

This catches the Average man's attention and he agrees to the game. The Rich man asks the first question: 'What's the distance from the earth to the moon?'

The Average man doesn't say a word, reaches into his wallet, pulls out a $50 note, and hands it to the Rich man. 'Okay,' says the Rich man, 'your turn.' The Average man ask's, 'What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?'

Deeply puzzled, the Rich man takes out his laptop and does a few searches... nothing. He e-mails all his friends but to no avail. After an hour of trying, he wakes the Average man hands him $5000. The Average man thanks him and turns over to get some more sleep. The Rich man , more than a little miffed, stirs the Average man and asks, 'Well, what's the answer?'

The Average man reaches into his wallet, hands the Rich man $50, and goes back to sleep.

Oh! i like to play a game like this hahaha! ... who likes to play?

Forgetful Me, Keep on Drinking Red

Red wine can help preserve your memory, according to the research that a compound in red wine, resveratrol, which means help protect memory loss. My husband use to give a joke because we both seen this on the news that a glass or two of red sis a great help and i keep forgetting something ... although i know i have this really good memory but their are times that i just forget right there, right now. Just like yesterday i was cutting grass, then i asked my son if what he's sister is doing because she usually come with me outside when i am doing something and he went and checked her then came back with an answer but i could not remember what was that and so i asked him again which he responded nicely but with additional line ... "you keep on asking the same question mommy!" hehe and i realized yeah! i remember asking him but i can't remember what he said. I was thinking i might be concentrating too much of what i am doing or what.

I remember when i was in college and my friend keep on asking me about the book she want's to borrow and i keep forgetting oh gush! i really don't want to have Alzheimer decease or something.

I look online and found out that read wine is the answer but drink moderately though, too much can hurt...I drink read wine almost every night so that's good news for me.

Here's interesting reading about healthy drink wine which i think good to share especially to all womens, i will quote the part that i like the most:
Wine and Women: Moderate Wine Drinking Helps Preserve Women’s Mental Functioning. Women who drink moderately seems to have higher bone mass than abstainers. Alcohol appears to boost estrogen levels. Women Wine Drinkers Have Fewer Kidney Stones. Moderate Drinking May Cut Women’s Risk of Diabetes.
So girls, prepare your wine glass and drink a glass or two and be healthy. Cheers!

Single Women

Still single while everyone started forming their family and hitching on that road that never ends.

In no rush or can't find Mr. Right? oh! i don't know, i have a sister a one year younger than me ... while i am enjoying the joy of motherhood she is enjoying the joy of singlehood. She works hard and travels very often, there are times where i can't catch her up anymore because she in different place (within Philippines) the next thing i see is bunch of photo's of her in beautiful places having fun with her workmates etc...at least she's happy, I have auntie's who are never married and sometimes i teased my sister if she wants to join the gang hahaha! anyway, she just started her blog saying aloha please pay her a visit if you have extra time.

I know it's not just my sister who is enjoying the freedom of being single, there are many career women out there very busy and never have the plan to settle down. I remember when i was in college my friends told me to enjoy my time while i am young and single because time comes when i get married where priority is no longer myself but the family and i can now say that my friends advise are true -- i don't have regret that i get married and have two kids because i have done my part of being single and have outgrown that now, in fact i have this another level of happiness even though my kids gives me headeache most of the time but it's part of the package i am glad my husband didn't give me any headache too haha!

Single Women have a very different set of mind and priorities, although some have envied their friends walking their dream aisles, wearing their dream wedding dress and walking towards their dream guy but that's it for the single women (temporary envy) because maybe there are things that they have not achieved yet a career perhaps or they just love the idea of having no obligation but themselves, no need to save for your wedding anniversary or hubby's birthday, as a single you can plan to go to the concert with your friends without worrying of who can look after the kids.

What about sharing of what you think of your single status and if not in a rush and why?
