About Me

My photo
I am a woman, mother and grandmother and love being all three! I have many interests as you will find out if you read all my profile! I would say I am just a normal woman, but I have no idea what normal is. We are all so different but very unique in our own way anyway aren't we? We only have one life this isn’t a dress rehearsal so make the most of it and try and achieve what it is you want in life I treat people they way I wish to be treated and I think most people would agree they would like the same!

Houses of Colour

A few years ago I done a little traveling and seen some beautiful places
The coloured houses especially I found them so beautiful and one day would love to live in a place like one of these images filled with such beauty!






I seen some places in the UK had adopted the bright colour schemes but I didn't like it there at all they looked a bit too gaudy for me!

Cutting Scale 2006 - an amazing Kitchen Gadget

I've noticed more than once that I like multifunctional gadgets and electronic devices. And if these have a cute design besides plenty of features, than I just love these gadgets.
Today I'll present you the concept of the device that features both functionality and amazing design.


Pylones Mini Refrigerators. This would be perfect for girls who like spending time on a blanket somewhere far away. There is actually a drawback of such far-away-in-the-nature picnics: you'll need a car, so you could plug the fridge into the DC power supply of your car. On the other hand you'll always have a fridge at hand and all the food and drinks will be stored in safe coolness.

Jokes

At a cocktail party, one woman said to another,
"Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?"
"Yes, I am. I married the wrong man."



A lady inserted an ad in the classifieds:
"Husband Wanted".
Next day she received a hundred letters.
They all said the same thing:
"You can have mine."



When a woman steals your husband,
there is no better revenge than to let her keep him.




A woman is incomplete until she is married. Then she is finished .




Comforting Angels




An Angel kissed my tears away

today when I was sad


I wasn't feeling quite myself

my day had been so bad


I felt a warmth brush by me

that quickly dried my tears


A gentle, kind, and loving touch

that seemed to hold me near.


Immediately, I felt so much better

and the day seemed brighter too


I guess that's just the way you feel

when an Angel comforts you.

What makes life 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants more than 100%.

How about achieving 103%?

Here's a little math that might prove helpful.

If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

then:

H A R D W O R K
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98%

K N O W L E D G E
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96%

but:

A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%

and:

B U L L S H I T
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%

So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top.

And look how far this will take you...

A S S K I S S I N G
1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%

Think about it... and have a nice day at work... :)

Well I am coming back on the net on and off, but still not into the full swing of it

Once I know what the outcome will be for my grandson things will be different

I am glad he is only seven as he doesn’t fully understand all of what’s going on with his little body.

I believe in a case of a little one like this situation ignorance can be a blessing for the child!


Thanks for all the kind words and thought's from you :-)

Adelaide breaks another heat record
Friday Mar 14 16:04 AEDT

Adelaide has set another heatwave record as firefighters remain fearful a bushfire south of the city could break containment lines.
More than 200 firefighters contained a blaze near Willunga which started on Thursday afternoon, but authorities are concerned a potential wind change later could spread the fire.

Their fears came as a grass fire was reported at Balhannah in the Adelaide Hills about 2.15pm CDT. There were no immediate reports of injuries or loss of property.

The blazes came after Adelaide recorded its hottest March night in history, with an overnight minimum temperature of 30.2 degrees.

The city's forecast maximum of 40 degrees is the 12th consecutive day of temperatures above 35 degrees - the longest heatwave ever in any Australian capital city.

Introduction


More than 317,000 people from 41 countries took part in the world’s largest ever survey on sexual attitudes and behaviour. The research confirmed that Greece is officially the sexiest country with the Greeks having sex 138 times a year - well above the global average of 103. Croatia (134) and Serbia and Montenegro (128) come a close second and third.

Almost half of all adults surveyed said they were happy with their sex lives although men are the least satisfied with how often they have sex. The survey also revealed the global average age for first time sex is 17.3 and the trend is for people to lose their virginity earlier, with 16 to 20 year olds becoming sexually active by 16.3 years.

Most people believe sex education should start at 11.7 years. Virtually all those surveyed believe children of 16 and under should receive sex education and more than a third believe governments should invest in sex education in schools. Almost half of all adults globally admit to having had unprotected sex without knowing their partner’s sexual history, despite more than one in 10 admitting to having had a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

How the research was conducted

Based on the number of respondents from 41 countries, the 2005 Durex Global Sex Survey is the largest sexual health research project of its kind in the world. Now in its ninth year, the survey has quadrupled in size since its launch and covers 41 countries - newcomers this year included Indonesia and Chile. This is the fourth year that this survey has been carried out via the durex.com website and responses have been analysed by sex and age to give an in-depth and truly global picture of sexual attitudes and behaviour.

How to Green Your Sex Life :-)

What’s the Big Deal?

Whether you’re single and playing the field, settled down with that special someone, or someplace in between, most of us consider good, satisfying, sexy sex an important part of this complete breakfast. It might not be the first thing we think of while working towards a sustainable and graceful life on this fragile planet, but there’s a lot we can do to make our sex lives greener. In the process of greening the ecological footprint of our love making, we might also open up some new doors to deeper pleasure, satisfaction, and romantic connection.
