Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.The students laughed..

‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—-your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—-and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.. The sand is everything else—-the small stuff.

‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.

Take care of the golf balls first—-the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked.’ The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

iPad mini

Have you heard of the new iPad Mini from Apple? The latest device to be a bit smaller than the iPad but a bit larger than the iPone 5.
The new iPad Mini will have a screen-size of 7.85": slightly larger than a Kindle Fire, but still packing a decent screen-size in comparison to the normal iPads.
A beautiful screen, powerful A5 chip, FaceTime and iSight cameras, amazing apps, and 10-hour battery life, make iPad mini every inch an iPad.
Just finished up ordering the new "Kindle Fire HD 8.9" along with the family's Christmas presents today! It was hard to choose between the iPad-Mini or the Kindle Fire so in the end we wanted to try something new since we already have the iPhone 4S! we wonder how well the Kindle Fire will compare to iPad? we guess I'll find out soon enough!
iPad holders are awesome!
Would you buy a holder for the iPad mini?

WAR AGAINST RACISM

War AGAINST RACISM

This happened on TAM airlines.

A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man.

Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.

"What's the problem, ma?" the hostess asked her

"Can't you see?" the lady said - "I was given a seat next to a black man. I can't seat here next to him. You have to change my seat"

- "Please, calm down, ma" - said the hostess
"Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I'm still going to check if we have any."

The hostess left and returned some minutes later.

"Madam, as I told you, there isn't any empty seat in this class- economy class.
But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn't any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class."

And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued

"Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class.
However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travel sat next to an unpleasant person."

And turning to the black man, the hostess said:

"Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class..."

And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet."

Sphinx Destruction

If we had a real President instead of a Mongrel Obama this would not happen. We need to completely destroy the (moose so loon) world. These people are the pigs of Satan make no doubt about it. The Mongrel Obama is one of them. He was raised in this pig shit religion. Weeks after the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi entered office as Egyptian President, calls began to rise for the destruction of those "symbols of paganism" -- the Egyptian Pyramids.

That was in late June and early July, but following last week's U.S. presidential election, Islamic clerics again demanded the destruction of one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Murgan Salem al-Gohary, a jihadist leader with ties to the Taliban, called for the "destruction of the Sphinx and the Giza Pyramids in Egypt." Gohary said "all Muslims are charged with applying the teachings of Islam to remove such idols." More moderate voices within Egypt are trying to counter Gohary, but it's doubtful how successful they will be when considering the actions of Islamic fundamentalists in other countries. Earlier in 2012, Mali Islamists blew up centuries-old mausoleums of "Sufi-Muslim saints in the city of Timbuktu." In 2001, "the Taliban dynamited the 6th-century A.D. statues of Buddha carved into a cliff at Bamiyan in Afghanistan."

 IT IS NOT AN IDOL BUT CONTAINS THE HIDDEN WISDOM OF MERE MAN REALIZING HIS DIVINE SPIRIT (THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN HIM) AND RAISING THE HOLY SPIRIT FROM AN ANIMAL ANTURE INTO A GOD NATURE. PEOPLE ARE LOST THRU MODERN INTERPERTATIONS OF MODERN RELIGION.

facebook obama slur

A woman has been fired and reported to the U.S. Secret Service for a racial slur and apparent assassination threat against President Barack Obama on Facebook. According to California's Modesto Bee, Denise Helms, 22, went OFF on the social networking site after Obama won reelection over Mitt Romney Tuesday.
She called Obama the n-word, adding that "maybe he will be assassinated".

WTF!!! Some chick in California puts a racial slur on her facebook page and threatens to kill Obama and the secret service are knocking on here front door. People threaten to kill Romney if he would have won the election and nothing  happens. Don't believe me Assholes.

ashamed beyond words of certain people in this country. it's disgusting and just disrespectful...get over yourselves and stop embarrassing the entire human race with your existence!

She used a racial slur on Twitter AND then agreed to be interviewed on public television to defend herself. She must not be aware, or must be ignorant to the fact that she is a huge bigot and that she is not only hurting herself with her words and actions but is also hurting herself.

This is really what it has come down too with the corrupt government that we have. You say something negative about the President, you lose your job and you get reported to secret service. That is a direct violation of the United States constitution and the 1st amendment. Welcome to this totalitarian police state we live in.

Not even into politics..... but this has to be one of the dumbest women in captivity .

Michelle Duggar hair

This is so much more flattering and you look so much fresher and younger. Goood Job.It's amazing what a hair change can do.
It'll admit that I can be very judgemental about the Duggars. But one thing I won't judge is Michelle Duggar's hair. Being that we are somewhat hair-inept myself (don't know how to do my own hair, or anyone else's), we can totally understand wanting to stick with the same style you've had for ages. we do like her "makeover hair" better, though (probably because it looks more like mine, ha ha!)

tater to casserole in the oven! thanks Duggars and Michelle duggar, Love the new hair do!

we guess we don't understand pop culture. With everything going on in the world right now, why is the fact Michelle Duggar cut 8 inches off her hair actually making the news? It mean, MAYBE if she wanted to do something good, she could have donated to Locks of Love, instead, and actually done something that would encourage others to do a good thing too, but no... she just chopped off her hair and it makes the news. Why?

Michelle, actually think it is because people feel so powerless to affect the major issues. Anything important feels out of their reach, and the media encourages that, in my opinion. People focus on unimportant things because at least it doesn't feel like they should be doing something about them.

we can actually see that. Honestly, that is the first time that this 'weirdness' makes sense. Perhaps you're right. Because the very reason I don't watch news or politics is because I feel powerless, and so what's the point of just sitting there making myself feel bad... so I can see, something simple, mindless, might be appealing to some. Thank you.

single mom no tip

If your a single mom or dad and you do this you are a scumbag. I know there is no law stating you MUST tip your waiter/waitress but to leave NOTHING on a $140 check is being a straight up asshole move.
Just... wow. Working in the field where we rely on tips to live, this sickens me people can even DO this. I dont think some people realize tips arent EXTRA money... we make HALF of minimum wage, we RELY on tips to live. People are so stupid, and if anyone has ever stiffed a waiter or waitress for any reason, whether the service was horrible or whatever, you deserve to be bitchslapped.
Personally, I think this is a ticket picked up off the floor and filled out so someone could yank our chain. If it is real, then if she could afford a $135 tab she could afford a tip. But to stiff a hard working waitperson on a $26 or more tip is chicken shit. I was a single mom for over 10 years and would NEVER have done this. No class.

I have no patience for people who do not tip. If you cannot afford to properly tip, then you cannot afford to eat out. I do not buy the claim that you are helping the economy, or any other lame excuses for stealing. Waiters and waitresses lower themselves to servant status. The least you can do is pay for the service rendered. Pay the people who work for you or stay home. This photo may or may not be real, but what is real is too many people not properly paying those in service sector.

Odd how tipping has to subsidize third world wages in the US....I'm sure that waiting tables is a godawful job. They ought to make a decent hourly wage but they don't without tips. If you can't afford the tip, you can't afford the meal. It's like the fundie assholes who like to leave religious pamphlets instead of tips, and congratulate themselves on saving money and souls at the same time. Assholery isn't limited to one kind of person. This has way more to do with the feeling of entitlement, rather than the actual tipping issue. Why not "I'm a gay man. Sorry, no tip." "I'm retired. Sorry, no tip." "I had to fill my tank with gas. Sorry, no tip." "I had to pay my rent. Sorry, no tip." "I had to pay for my dinner. Sorry, no tip."

Sadly, there are a group of people who believe that tipping a server is not right and that they should be paid a decent wage. I agree but the fact is that they work so very hard for their money and almost always for minimum wage. Anyone who can afford $138 for a meal can afford at least a 10% tip.
Another view to this could be that the single mom who ran that $138 bill up spent that money on all the kids and herself which still is a rather high bill but maybe she has a lot of kids. Still, a tip would've been the respectful gesture. Realistically though, this definitely wasn't taking the kids to McDonald's (LOL)
