the last of my three favorite flowers

lavender is my third favorite flower.
i think it is very pretty, and i also love the smell.
i actually have a lavender spray that i spray on my pillows at night. its very calming.

History of Lavender
The ancient Greeks called the lavender herb nardus, after the Syrian city of Naarda. It was also commonly called nard.
During Roman times, flowers were sold for 100 denarii per pound, which was about the same as months wage for a farm labourer or 50 haircuts from the local barber. Lavender was commonly used in Roman baths to scent the water, and it was thought to restore the skin. When the Roman Empire conquered southern Britain, the Romans introduced lavender.
During the height of the Plague, glove makers at Grasse would scent their leathers with lavender oil, and this was claimed to ward off the Plague. This story could have some validity as the Plague was transmitted by fleas, which lavender is known to repel.

another boring flower post :)

i love this time of year because the lilacs start blooming.
lilacs are another of my favorite flowers.

i think they smell so wonderful.

roses are not my favorite, but i thought this was a really pretty picture anyway.
these next three are gerbera daisies.
they are definately one of my favorite flowers.

Bedtime

Chubby little boy
laying in my lap
Little eyelids drooping
fighting for a nap

Sleepy little girl
asking me to sing
Blue eyes gently closing
How I love to watch you dream

Footie 'jamas
Starry skies
Blankets soft as lullabies
Lights are low
for sleepy eyes
Babies dreaming sweet tonight


this poem is about my baby brother Phil and my little sister Erica. ( yes, i wrote it)

Are You a Professional?


The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a "professional." Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult.

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?


The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator put in the giraffe and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?


Open the refrigerator put in the elephant and close the refrigerator. Wrong Answer!

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?


Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. This tests your memory.

OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?


Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.


According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

color test

PREFACE: IN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS FIELD YOU MUST BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH COLORS WITH-IN MULTI -CONDUCTOR CABLES. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT COLORED WIRES CONTAINED IN A SINGLE CABLE. BELOW, YOU WILL FIND WORDS WRITTEN IN DIFFERENT COLORS. AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN, READ ALOUD THE COLOR THAT EACH WORD IS WRITTEN IN.....NOT THE ACTUAL WORD THAT'S WRITTEN.






GREEN YELLOW BLUE ORANGE WHITE RED GREEN BLUE ORANGE YELLOW WHITE GREEN RED BLUE WHITE GREEN ORANGE YELLOW ORANGE BLUE GREEN RED WHITE YELLOW RED BLUE YELLOW ORANGE RED WHITE



ACTUALLY, THIS TEST IS CHECKING YOUR BRAINS ABILITY TO SEPARATE THE LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS AND RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR BRAIN IS TRYING TO TELL YOU TO READ THE WORD, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR BRAIN IS TRYING TO TELL YOU TO IDENTIFY THE COLOR!!!

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

Colonel Sanders:
I missed one?

LA Police Department:
Give us five minutes with the chicken and we'll find out.

Richard M. Nixon: The chicken did not cross the road.
I repeat, the chicken did not cross the road.
I don't know any chickens.
I have never known any chickens.

Dr. Suess: Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes! The chicken crossed the road,
but why it crossed, I've not been told!

Ernest Hemingway:
To die. In the rain.

Martin Luther King, Jr.:
I envision a world where all chickens
will be free to cross roads without
having their motives called into question.

Grandpa:
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road.
Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road,
and that was good enough for us.

Aristotle:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

Karl Marx:
It was a historical inevitability.

This was an unprovoked act of rebellion
and we were quite justified in dropping
50 tons of nerve gas on it.

What chicken?

You saw it cross the road with your own eyes.
How many more chickens have
to cross before you believe it?

Machiavelli:
The point is that the chicken crossed the road.
Who cares why?
The end of crossing the road justifies
whatever motive there was.

Bill Gates:
I have just released Chicken Coop 98,
which will not only cross roads,
but will lay eggs,
file your important documents,
and balance your check book --
and Explorer is an inextricable
part of the operating system.

Einstein: Did the chicken really cross the road or
did the road move beneath the chicken?
