A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.

Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table saying,
'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'

'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband,' said the wife.
The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.
The husband thought for a moment and said, 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.'

The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.
So the fairy waved her magic wand and - poof ....

The husband became 92 years old.

The moral of this story:
Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember...Fairies are female!

      

      

I just read a story from CNN about how there will be no more Polaroid film being manufactured. While I haven't used a film camera for more than 5 years, it's amazing to think that there are future generations who will never get the thrill of waiting for a Polaroid image to develop.

Overall, I can't say the decision surprises me, but it certainly makes me nostalgic. When I look through my old photographs, regardless of if they are Polaroid, black and white or just disposable cameras; there is something you don’t get from digital images.  The older images change, get a patina, much like our memories.

There is just something more real about film, no do over, no second chances….a moment of time that can’t be changed.

Quick note to all you fucking Buy Generic Viagra Spammers! FUCKING DIE!
I hate you.  I hate the thought of having to start moderating comments,
but one of the reasons I haven't been writing as much lately is because
I am so annoyed by all the spam.  Don't know if it's the economy (thank
you for finally calling it what it it, a recession) or if it's the
holiday shopping season, but I just deleted over 150 comments that came
in in the last 48 hours.  REALLY PEOPLE?  There is a special level of
hell reserved just for spammers and people who use pop up ads on their
site. I do have some updates, will try to post those tonight.<< MORE >>

However, I like to focus on the positive - so let's do that. So much GOOD stuff has been going on that I am not even sure where to start. Looking back over my last several posts, I realized, I haven't been talking about me...not that there's anything wrong with it, I guess i just haven't felt like anything was personally interesting right now. So here's a little about me and my life.<< MORE >>

I read a lot of blogs.  I spend my whole work day on the internet, and I spend way too much time at home online as well.  Most blogs I find I spend a few minutes looking at, and then move on.  Occasionally I find one that I enjoy.  Even more rarely, I find one that makes me laugh, touches me and I think about going and looking for new posts. << MORE >>

What is a Squidoo? What is a lens? Well, it's really simple and cool actually. Squidoo is a large collection (at the time of this post more than 1/2 a million) "lenses" or individual web pages on all kinds of topics. Lenses are made up of "modules" that make it super easy to add content. You can link to relevant lenses, and search for information on subjects you have only dreamed of. And it's all free!<< MORE >>

These people were always finding water all over their pool deck and furniture, every time they came home, after being away for a few hours.
