HUNG BY THE TONGUE
Some people just have a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. They are being, "Hung By the Tongue!"
A state trooper pulled a man over for speeding on a deserted road. Since the road was clear and the weather fine, the trooper had indicated that he may not give the man a ticket, and let them off with a warning. He even complemented both the man and his wife for wearing their seat belts. At that point the woman leaned over and said, "Well, officer, when you drive the speeds we do, you have to wear them." That's when the trooper wrote the ticket. Hung By the Tongue!
Gene and Carolyn were entertaining for the first time since the birth of their baby. Everything ran smoothly until one of Gene's buddies arrived with his new girlfriend - a woman whom Carolyn did not particularly care for. She beckoned her husband upstairs with the excuse that they had to check on the baby. In the privacy of the nursery, she spoke freely of her disdain for the new guest. When they went downstairs to rejoin the party, they were greeted with an awkward silence-except for the occasional murmuring of the sleeping baby that came from the infant monitor sitting on the table. Hung By the Tongue!
There is an ancient Japanese proverb that says... "A tongue three inches long can kill a man six feet tall."
If you are continually being "hung by your tongue", you can be "loosed from the noose" if you would just learn to engage your mind a little bit before you speak! Here's the process... think... then speak! I believe that we need to make our words sweet... just in case we have to eat them!
The words of your mouth are a creative force. They play a big part in predestining your future. Your words are the architects of your life. The tongue is like a tool. We need to use our tools of the present to build our future we desire.

Once again.....
The men vs. women debate is never a very productive one, but it continually recurs in discussions of gender differences. Although the range of opportunities available to men and women continue to converge, the difference between social roles and styles among the two, remain striking. All said and done, men are men and women shall always remain women till their end. Though there is no harm in this phenomenon started by the Lord, there definitely is a clear and bold line drawn between the two sexes inspite of their strengths, be it emotional or physical by none else but man. 99% of the rules are man-made and women are supposed to just abide by those laws. That has been so since the era of Adam and Eve and shall remain without much change till life on Earth exists. That, dear friends, is the Truth @ Point Blank. Lot more to say but maybe, next time. Here goes a small story (infact a chain mail going round and round) which inspired me to write the few lines above. NICE STORY..... When girls don't put out!!
Girls -- Please have a sense of humour!
I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing.
I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.
FOR EXAMPLE:
One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.
Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."
I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!"
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."
She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, "Lets get a pair for each outfit."
We went on to the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement.
Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier."
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, "WHAT?"
I then said, "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman."
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.... but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her.

Is 'Peace on Earth' Possible?
We are seeing that most of the institutions we’ve put into place to make life better have only made life worse. That includes government and politics, business and commerce, education, and yes, even religion. What's your say? Share your thoughts.

Sex....
Teenage sex on the sly; Indians concerned!
By: Barsha Nag Bhowmick.
Copyright : www.broadband.indiatimes.com
" Sex no longer is a taboo amongst today's teenagers. According to a recent survey, teenagers across urban India are getting into physical relationships, which are dragging them and their partners at health risks. A cross section of the Indians opined that instead of condemning the entire situation, the parents, teachers and everybody concerned should come forward and help children to cope with this rising problem...."

DREAMS!
Dreams of the future... Dreams of hope... Dreams of what will come to pass... A walk in the forest... A stroll by a stream... A chuckle in the twilight... A hug at midnight.... Romance in the firelight... Dreams of a love that will last... These dreams, oh Lord, grant to me. So I may find happiness at last.

Think
Five lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.
1. First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady. During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello". I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Daisy. 2. Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain One night, at 11.30 p.m., an older woman was standing on the side of a highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled areas. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached... It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others." Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole. 3. Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve. In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty rupees," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?", he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty five rupees," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two 1 rupee coins. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip. 4. Fourth Important Lesson - The obstacle in Our Path. In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition. 5. Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts. Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away". Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her. " Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like you do when nobody's watching. "

Happy Mother's Day, Momma!
What do Angels look like? You can ask me, for I know... I have an Angel come to me Every moment of my life,even a minute ago....
She always welcomes me with open arms, And loves with open heart; And no matter what, We shall never part.
Angels keep their promises, For mine is always there - To encourage and to understand, To comfort and to care. She's never very far away, And, now that I am grown, I am sharing with my Angel Little Angels of my own...
And when our earthly Angels Walk out the Earth from within our rings, They'll forever be an Angel - But one who's got her wings
So, what DO Angels look like? You may not ask me, But still I'd love to tell.... In our hearts they dwell
Angels come in many forms... All beyond any specified earthly norms, And to each of you... She looks like your MOM This is for ALL mothers... but especially ones whose children were conceived in their HEARTS, if not their bodies...
"I Love You, Momma. Here is a loving hug and a kiss."

The World Is an Illusion
When the world arises in me, It is just an illusion: Water shimmering in the sun, A vein of silver in mother-of-pearl, A serpent in a strand of rope.
From me the world streams out And in me it dissolves, As a bracelet melts into gold, A pot crumbles into clay, A wave subsides into water.
-Ashtavakra Gita 2: 9-10

A Clean-Smelling Lotus
As in a pile of rubbish cast by the side of a highway a lotus might grow clean-smelling pleasing the heart, so in the midst of the rubbish-like, people run-of-the-mill & blind, there dazzles with discernment the disciple of the Rightly Self Awakened One.
-Dhammapada, 4
