IF MY BODY WERE A CAR...

If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull, but that's not the worst of it.

My fenders are too wide to be considered stylish. They were once as sleek as a little MG; now they look more like an old Buick.

My seat cushions have split open at the seams. My seats are sagging.

Seat belts? I gave up all belts when Krispy Cremes opened a shop in my neighborhood.!

Air bag's? Forget it. The only bags I have these days are under my eyes. Not counting the saddlebags, of course.

I have soooooo many miles on my odometer. Sure, I've been many places and seen many things, but when's the last time an appraiser factored life experiences against depreciation?

My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close.

My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.

My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.

It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed.

My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

But here's the worst of it -almost every time I sneeze, or cough..... either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires...

Gratitude | Louie Schwartzberg | TEDxSF

So, What Makes Us Happy?

by MICHAEL JOSEPHSON in COMMENTARIES, GRATITUDE, WhatWillMatter.com

There is an ever-growing body of knowledge about the nature and causes of happiness.

For one thing, it’s clear that happiness is a feeling, not a circumstance. Happiness is more than just fun or pleasure. It’s a more durable sense of well being.

Our happiness depends not on what happens to us, but what happens in us. In other words, it’s the way we choose to think about our lives. Abe Lincoln said, “People are generally about as happy as they’re willing to be.” A Buddhist proverb tells us that pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

So, what are the most common attributes of happy people? Well, it’s not money, fame, or good looks. It’s not even intelligence or talent. No, the two most important factors are gratitude and rewarding personal relationships.

The formula is simple: count your blessings and enjoy your family and friends.

Sadly, simple is not always easy.

People whose natural instincts produce a gloomy outlook and pessimism need to re-train their minds. It’s one thing to say happiness is not getting what you want but wanting what you get; it’s quite another to really be satisfied with what we have.

For many people, it takes discipline and practice to think positively.

Sometimes it’s just a matter of changing one’s perspective, choosing to see and appreciate the silver lining, the half full glass. In other cases, what’s required is refusing to dwell on pain, disappointment, or envy, and instead force one’s mind toward good thoughts, including all the things we should be grateful for.

Interestingly, the ability to maintain a positive attitude is also important in forming and sustaining meaningful relationships – seeing and bringing out the best.

This is Michael Josephson reminding you that character counts.

12 Crazy and Interesting Facts About Sperm

by Jessica Booth, gurl.com

Sperm Can Live In Your Body For Longer Than You Think

A common myth about sperm is that it dies the instant it hits the air, so you definitely can't get pregnant if a guy ejaculates on your leg or outside of your vagina. But this isn't exactly true. Sperm can actually live in your body for up to five days, depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle. If you just had your period, sperm can probably only last for a day or two, but if you have "optimal mucus" down there, they can live for longer. Condoms, everybody. Condoms.
Source: Gurl.com

His Diet Affects How Semen Tastes

If you thought that all semen tastes the same, think again. A dude's diet can change how his semen tastes. If he eats a lot of red meat, dairy products, onions, garlic and coffee, chances are, the taste isn't going to be great. But if he eats a lot of fruit, vegetables, maintains a healthy weight, exercises regularly, doesn't smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, his semen probably won't taste so bad. Another bonus for doing all of that stuff? His body will produce more sperm.
Source: Gurl.com

There Is Only A Little Sperm In Each Ejaculation

Not ALL of that semen your guy just ejaculated is made of sperm. In fact, sperm only makes up about 5 percent of that ejaculation. The rest of the stuff is a bunch of nutrients and protective substrate, which help these swimmers get to the egg.
Source: Gurl.com

When They Aren't Ejaculated, Where Do Sperm Go?

Have you ever wondered where sperm go when they're not ejaculated with the rest of a guy's semen? Yeah, me neither, but now that I asked you're probably wondering! Apparently, these rejected sperms get broken down and reabsorbed by his body. Eek!
Source: Gurl.com

You Can Be Allergic To Sperm

Sorry guys, but it's true - people can totally be allergic to sperm. It happens when your body reacts to a certain protein in the semen and a lot more women suffer from it than you think. The symptoms are often misdiagnosed and include pain, redness and swelling in the vaginal area during and after sex. The good news? It's treatable!
Source: Gurl.com

His Body Thinks Sperm Are Germs

A man's body sees his sperm as germs. This is because they don't become active until a boy hits puberty, which is also when he starts developing a tolerance to different diseases. The testicles protect the sperm from the immune system with a blood-testis barrier.
Source: Gurl.com

Sperm Live In A Cold Environment

In order to produce healthy sperm, a guy's testicles have to stay about 7 degrees cooler than his ordinary body temperature. Another interesting facts? When dudes cross their legs, their testicles can get up to two degrees hotter.
Source: Gurl.com

There Are Male and Female Sperm

I personally never knew this, but sperm has a gender! There are both male and female sperm. The males might be faster than the females but guess what? The females are stronger. Boo-yah.
Source: Gurl.com

Sperm Wear Hats!

Okay, not real hats, but they definitely look like they're wearing a hat. The coolest thing about their oval shaped heads are that they act as a drill to make a hole in the female egg. So useful!
Source: Gurl.com

Sperm Are Not Great With Directions

While sperm may be super fast swimmers, that doesn't mean they're great with direction. They can only swim forwards, but that doesn't mean they know where they're going. A chemical substance from the egg sort of guides sperm to it, but they don't always listen. Actually, only 1 in 5 sperm will start swimming the right way after ejaculation. Oh, and most of them can't swim in a straight line - they'll go in circles instead sometimes. Silly sperm!
Source: Gurl.com

Sperm Wasn't Discovered Until The 1600's

The world wasn't always informed about sperm. In fact, we didn't even know these little guys existed until 1677, when a Dutch microscope-maker Antony van Leeuwenhoek decided to put his own semen (most likely) under a microscope. He discovered little sperms swimming around.
Source: Gurl.com

Sperm Can Be Really Weird Looking

Not all sperm are made exactly the same! Healthy sperm will - they should have a smooth oval head and a long tail - but not-so-healthy sperm will be a little, well, weird looking. Actually, most of a dude's sperm is weird looking. Some of them might have two heads, heads that are way too small or way too big, a bent tail or neck, multiple tails or broken tails. So much can go wrong!

“Went Fishing... Caught 4 Deer”

Deer

A once in the history of mankind kind of thing… The Best Day of Fishing Ever! Some fishing stories are a little hard to believe but this guy has pictures to prove his story. I've heard of salmon jumping into boats, but never anything quite like this.

Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.

Deer

"Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed. I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat. In all my years fishing, I've never seen anything quite like it! Once on board, they collapsed with exhaustion, shivering."

Deer

"This is a picture I took of the rescued bucks on the back of my boat, the Alaska Quest. We headed for Taku Harbour . Once we reached the dock, the first buck that we had pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say 'thank you' and disappeared into the forest. After a bit of prodding and assistance, two more followed, but the smallest deer needed a little more help.

Deer

This is me carrying the little guy.

Deer

My daughter, Anna, and son, Tim, helped the last buck to its feet. We didn't know how long they had been in the icy waters or if there had been others who did not survive. My daughter later told me that the experience was something that she would never forget, and I suspect the deer felt the same way as well!"

I told you! Awesome!

Our Lord works in mysterious ways...

The Centipede

A single guy decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede, (100-legged bug), which came in a little white box to use for his house.

He took the box back home, found a good spot for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to church with him.

So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to church with me today? We will have a good time."

But there was no answer from his new pet.

This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked again, "How about going to church with me and receive blessings?"

But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.

The guy decided to invite the centipede one last time.

This time he put his face up against the centipede's house and shouted, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go to church with me and learn about God?"

This time, a little voice came out of the box, "I heard you the first time! I'm putting my shoes on!"

War Horses

These horses were originally bred as "war horses" in the days of knights and armor. As armor got heavier, bigger horses were needed and the Friesian almost became extinct. They are back and are one of the most beautiful horses in stature as well as gait. What gorgeous animals! Just watching them becomes an emotional experience. Can you imagine what it would be like to ride one? Their manes and tails are the longest that I have seen and I noticed that when performing on grass, their hoofs do not kick up a divot, as they land flat footed. Creatures such as these are what makes this world so special. These horses are native to the Netherlands.
