HOW'S IT HANGIN'- IT'S ALL ABOUT COMMUNICATION AND TIMING!

HOW'S IT HANGIN'- IT'S ALL ABOUT COMMUNICATION AND TIMING!

An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution.

His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed.

As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on him about,

'What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you been?

Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it'. And on and on and on........

Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks as he dragged himself up the stairs.

While he was in the bath, the phone rang. The wife answered and was told that her husband's client, James Wright, had been granted a stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight.

Finally realizing what a terrible day he must have had, she decided to go up stairs and give him the good news.

As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet.

They're not hanging Wright tonight,' she said.

HAVE YOU EVER SAID SOMETHING AND REALIZED IT CAME OUT WRONG BEFORE IT WAS FINISHED?

WHAT DO YOU DO IN THAT SITUATION?

TRY TO EXPLAIN INCORRECTLY AND DIG A DEEPER GRAVE?

LET IT GO- AND POSSIBLY LET IT unknowingly FESTER?

IMMEDIATELY CORRECT YOURSELF AND GENTLY EXPLAIN.. 

OR WAIT FOR A COOL DOWN PERIOD, THEN TRY?

NONE OF THE ABOVE, OR DOES IT ALL DEPEND ON THE SITUATION? 

MY WIFE SAID, "MAKE LOVE TO ME SOMEWHERE I'VE RARELY BEEN"....

I GENTLY LED HER TO THE KITCHEN ....

I NEVER HEARD THE SHOT!

MY WIFE SAID, " TELL ME SOMETHING TO MAKE ME WALK ON AIR"!

I WHISPERED, "GO HANG YOURSELF",

DAMN, TASERS HURT!

WOMEN'S COLLEGE SOFTBALL TOURNEY

WOMEN'S COLLEGE SOFTBALL TOURNEY

I recently went by America's Home for Women's Fast Pitch Softball in my Hometown of Plant City, Fl. What a beautiful Sports complex.

I LOVE watching Fast pitch softball at this level. My Dad played back in the day against Eddie Feigner- The King & His Court. Thay played exhibition games with only 4 Players! He would pitch from second base, blindfolded, behind his back etc, and they beat most all of the teams they played. My Dad's team beat them once!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IS ABOUT WATCHING THESE WOMEN PLAY!

I guess I could pitch them, as I so enjoy the game. I hope they never go on Strike. I would Ball like a baby. A lot of games are free, and that's a STEAL! It's not a bunch of Old BATS playing, butt real Athletes. I'm a true Athletic Supporter....and I could have a FIELD day with these forever,  but I'm OUTta here......

GROAN IF YOU'D LIKE!

What was to one day become The King And His Court all began in 1946 when Eddie Feigner, an energetic strong-armed young man who had excelled as a softball pitcher before the war and in the Marines, was home again buzzing his fast ball by home town batters. There was one thing about Feigner, he had a world of confidence in himself and his ability to pitch a softball. Whenever anyone hurled a challenge at this lad in his early 20's, he had an immediate taker. Playing in an early spring league, Feigner was pitching for a local team of 9 men in a game in Pendleton, Oregon. Eddie's team won the game by a whopping score, but afterwards his skill as a "hot shot" softball pitcher was challenged. This was too much for the "King" who brazenly announced, "I would play you with only my catcher but you would walk us both."		(Our founder and the King of Softball - Eddie Feigner)
The other team's manager said, "OK, you bring your catcher, shortstop, and first baseman down here and we will play you." On the way back home, the four wondered what they should do to get ready. Because it was early spring and the local ball parks were unavailable to practice on, the 4 men requested permission to play some of the teams inside the Washington State Prison. The request was granted. With high walls as a backdrop, and the curious inmates looking on, The Four-Man Softball Team came into being. That same week, the name "The King and His Court" was chosen. A week later 400 fans were on hand to view the unpublicized, initial 4 versus 9 game. Feigner rose to the occasion. In 7 innings, he pitched a perfect game and struck out 19 batters. One ball was hit to the shortstop, and one to the first baseman. The final score was 7-0 in favor of the Court. The players of the opposition team deserve much praise. Sometimes during our games they are subjected to a little of what is called "horseplay." The intention is never to make a player look bad. After all, when a man offers his services to play, we have nothing but respect for him. From that simple beginning started what has grown into a world renowned success with the King and His Court performing for more than 20,800,000 fans in over 4,405 cities worldwide and throughout 104 countries, all while traveling over 4,100,000 miles and providing over 2,947 pitching and hitting clinics for boys and girls around the globe.

BLACK WIDOW SPIDER

 

 

EGG CASING WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED EGGS EACH. OLD SKIN SHED SHOWS SHE'S A GROWING--OR IS THAT HER HUSBAND??? THIS IS A COMMON MYTH BTW--MOST DO NOT EAT THEIR MATES.

 

 CLOSEUP OF EACH EGG- THESE WILL NOT MAKE IT!!

 

THIS SPIDER APPEARS DEAD- AU CONTRAIRE--MERELY A PLOY! BUT YOU CAN SEE THE TELL-TALE  START OF THE ORANGE  HOUR GLASS  FIGURE ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LARGE ABDOMEN.

 

 THIS ONE IS NOT AS PERFECTLY SHAPED AS I'VE SEEN THEM BEFORE, AND IT CONTINUES UP THE BACK...I WONDER IF IT'S A MATURITY/AGE TYPE THING? 

 

ALSO THIS LADY HAS ORANGE SPOTS ON THE BACK WHICH I'VE ONLY SEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES : STILL PLAYING DEAD???

 

OH!!!! SEE-SHE'S AWAKE AND MAKING HER ESCAPE!

 

COOL PATTERN ON BACK- USUALLY BRIGHT COLORED CRITTERS IN NATURE MEAN- STAY AWAY! *

I DON'T LEAVE THESE AROUND THE HOUSE AS THEY CAN REALLY HURT PETS, AND POSSIBLY PEOPLE. YOU USUALLY HAVE TO PICK UP WOOD, OR TRASH WHERE THEY HIDE TO DISTURB THEM. THE EASIEST WAY TO IDENTIFY THEM IS BY THEIR WEB. SORRY I DIDN'T GET A PIC OF IT--BUT ONCE YOU'VE SEEN IT--JUST STAY AWAY!

As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself.  I've become my own friend.

I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.

Whose business is it, if I choose to read, or play, on the computer, until 4 AM, or sleep until noon?  I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 &70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will.

I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.
They, too, will get old.

I know I am sometimes forgetful.  But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, I eventually remember the important things.

Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken.  How can your heart not break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car?  But, broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion.  A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect.

I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.
So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.

As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore.
I've even earned the right to be wrong.

So, to answer your question, I like being old.  It has set me free.  I like the person I have become.  I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be.  And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it). 

MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART!

"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." 

 Mark Twain

 

LOVE YOU ALL
