Remember this motto to live by: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, totally worn out and screaming ‘WOOO HOOOOO what a ride!’

(Could be controversial! I don’t agree with most of this, however, some parts seem to be partially true. Let me know what you think.)

Leave it to Maxine to come up with a solution

For the economic mess that America is now in and Canada too??

I bought a bird feeder. I hung

It on my back porch and filled

It with seed. What a beauty of

A bird feeder it was, as I filled it

lovingly with seed. Within a

Week we had hundreds of birds

Taking advantage of the

Continuous flow of free and

Easily accessible food.

But then the birds started

Building nests in the boards

Of the patio, above the table,

And next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was

Everywhere: on the patio tile,

The chairs, the table ..

Everywhere!

Then some of the birds

Turned mean. They would

Dive bomb me and try to

Peck me even though I had

Fed them out of my own

Pocket.

And other birds were

Boisterous and loud. They

Sat on the feeder and

Squawked and screamed at

All hours of the day and night

And demanded that I fill it

When it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn’t even

Sit on my own back porch

Anymore.  So I took down the

Bird feeder and in three days

The birds were gone. I cleaned

Up their mess and took down

The many nests they had built

All over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like

It used to be …. Quiet, serene….

And no one demanding their

Rights to a free meal.

Now let’s see.

Our government gives out

Free food, subsidized housing,

Free medical care and free

Education, and allows anyone

Born here to be an automatic

Citizen.

Then the illegals came by the

Tens of thousands.  Suddenly

Our taxes went up to pay for

Free services; small apartments

Are housing 5 families; you

Have to wait 6 hours to be seen

By an emergency room doctor;

Your child’s second grade class is

Behind other schools because

Over half the class doesn’t speak

English.

Corn Flakes now come in a

Bilingual box; I have to

‘press one ‘ to hear my bank

Talk to me in English, and

People waving flags other

Than ‘The Maple Leaf’  are

Squawking and screaming

In the streets, demanding

More rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe

it’s time for the government

To take down the bird feeder.

If you agree, pass it on; if not,

Just continue cleaning up the poop .

1. Gosh, er, I won’t be coming into work today. See, there was this Wild Turkey running about the house and he and some guy named Jim Beam kept taunting me. Then Old Grand Dad showed up. Well, by the time Jack Daniels came in, I really needed a bucket. So, er, who’s this again?

2. You need to call in and say that you are having trouble with your eyes, and when your boss asks what is wrong tell them that you just can’t see yourself coming in to work!

3. Hurt my back! MTV was running a Spice- girls marathon, and I had to lift my T.V. and throw it out of the window all by myself.

4. I wanted to come in but I had a severe case of Chronic Gravitational Disorder… couldn’t get my ass out of bed.

5. This one can only be used for not showing up or calling off on a Monday. I forgot to carry in the Sunday paper, so when I saw the paper there, I thought it was Sunday. By the time I realized it was Monday, it was too late, so I stayed home.

6. Call in and say that your Gonasyphaherpalaids is acting up and you can’t come in!

7. “Man, I TOLD my wife the chicken looked undercooked!”

8. Personal reasons. (Said in a concerned tone of voice – discourages any further questions, assuming your boss has even a grain of emotion.)

9. “I need a month off while I serve a 30 day sentence.”

10. Tell ‘em you have a temperature. (What employers and teachers don’t realize is that everyone has a temperature). Not a lie!!!

11. Maybe the best excuse ever:

“My suit got misplaced at the cleaners and you wouldn’t want me to come to work in the nude, would you?”

Honestly:

The major mistake people make when calling in is giving to much info. That is what gets them in trouble. Just call in and say you are not feeling well. There is no need to go into any more detail than that. No need to try and sound sick. Do not sound uncertain and do not say you will try to make it in later. Trust me Keep is short and simple. There is nothing they can do about it but give you a point on whatever system they use to track absent employees and it is almost impossible to get caught in a lie with a simple “I do not feel well”.

I’m always amazed at Research Projects that study things that most of  us already know!

(Do you have any examples? Please tell us about them in the comment section below.)

A recent study on the Effects of music tempo upon submaximal cycling performance demonstrated the following:

Healthy individuals performing submaximal exercise not only worked harder with faster music but also chose to do so and enjoyed the music more when it was played at a faster tempo.

As the researchers wrote, when “the music was played faster, the participants chose to accept, and even prefer, a greater degree of effort.”

And that result, obvious as it seems, may be the ultimate lesson of how and why music is effective and desirable during exercise, says Nina Kraus, a professor of neurobiology at Northwestern University in Illinois, who studies the effects of music on the nervous system. “Humans and songbirds” are the only creatures “that automatically feel the beat” of a song, she said. The human heart wants to synchronize to music, the legs want to swing, metronomically, to a beat. So the next time you go for a moderate run or bike ride, first increase the tempo of some insidiously catchy Lady Gaga downloads (or Justin Bieber or Katy Perry or whatever reflects the current popular taste in your household), and load them on your iPod. “Our bodies,” Dr. Kraus concluded, “are made to be moved by music and move to it.”

The next study should deal with how to motivate people, like Maxine, to start and maintain an exercise program.
