    BEST POEM EVER!!!!!

    A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …

    enough money within her control to move out
    and rent a place of her own,
    even if she never wants to or needs to…
    something perfect to wear if the employer,
    or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour….

    A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …

    a youth she’s content to leave behind….
    a past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to
    retelling it in her old age….
    a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra…
    one friend who always makes her laugh.. and one who lets her cry…

    A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .

    a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family….
    eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
    and a recipe for a meal,
    that will make her guests feel honored…

    A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

    a feeling of control over her destiny…
    how to fall in love without losing herself..

    EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

    how to quit a job,
    break up with a lover,
    and confront a friend without;
    ruining the friendship….

    EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW……

    when to try harder… and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…

    EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

    that she can’t change the length of her calves,
    the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
    that her childhood may not have been perfect…but it’s over….

    EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

    what she would and wouldn’t do for love or more….
    how to live alone… even if she doesn’t like it…

    EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. .

    whom she can trust,
    whom she can’t,
    and why she shouldn’t take it personally…

    EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

    where to go…
    be it to her best friend’s kitchen table…
    or a charming Inn in the woods…
    when her soul needs soothing…

    EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…

    What she can and can’t accomplish in a day…
    a month…and a year…

    Now, finally a computer error message I can understand.

    Car insurance companies in the UK will be pleased if England crashes out of the 2010 World Cup in the early stages.

    Based on information collated from the 2004 European championships it appears that England’s drivers crash their cars more often on England match days. In 2004 crashes leapt by some 14% generally during the whole tournament. Accident figures when England played against Portugal and lost on penalties rose by over 51%.

    Funny car crashes

    It was the World Cup dinner and dance held in the evening, after the final.  The festivities were in full swing when three newcomers arrived without tickets. ‘It’s all right,’ said one, ‘we’re friends of the referee.’

    ‘Whoever heard of a referee with three friends?’, said the bouncer, as he threw them out.

    An elderly couple Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas. Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home. Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, ‘Notice anything different about me?’ Margaret looked him over. ‘Nope.’  Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots.  Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, ‘Notice anything different NOW?’  Margaret looked up and exclaimed, ‘Bert, what’s different? It’s hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it’ll be hanging down again tomorrow!’  Furious, Bert yelled, ‘AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT’S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?’  ‘Nope’, she replied..  ‘IT’S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT’S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!’  Without changing her expression, Margaret replied,  ‘Shoulda bought a hat, Bert.

    cowboy boots joke

    and that’s when the fight started…

    1. The Milk man agreed on 2 kisses for one month’s milk.

    The Ford Mondeo is a large family car sold by the Ford Motor Company  in various markets throughout the world. Fords claims that the new Ford Mondeo Zetec handles better than ever. The quality throughout is very impressive. The new Ford Mondeo has many enhancements including improved braking performance and the Human Machine Interface (HMI) system – a powerful, intuitive, digital command centre, operated by two toggles. There’s plenty of stowage space around the cabin too, with perfectly-shaped homes for items like window squeeges, atlases, drinks cans, tapes, CDs, owners manuals and mobile phones. Pricing for the  New Ford Mondeo Zetec, is also impressive.
