Thought For The Day

[mountainlion20032003]

Birds of a feather flock together...and poop on your car.
A penny saved is a government oversight.
The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
He who hesitates is probably right.
Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are " XL."
If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.
If you can smile when things go wrong , you have someone in mind to blame.
The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt .
Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs."
Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper. It's worse when you forget to pull it down.
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf.

God wants to give you great things, but even He cannot give you any greater blessing than you can believe in.

A seven-year-old boy approached an old man in front of a wishing well, looked up into his eyes, and asked: "I understand you're a very wise man. I'd like to know the secret of life."
The old man looked down at the youngster and replied: "I've thought a lot in my lifetime, and the secret can be summed up in four words:
1) The first is "Think."
Think about the values you wish to live your life by.
2) The second is "Believe."
Believe in yourself based on the thinking you've done about the values you're going to live your life by.
3) The third is "Dream."
Dream about the things that can be, based on your belief in yourself and the values you're going to live by.
4) The last is "Dare."
Dare to make your dreams become reality, based on your belief in yourself and your values.
And with that, Walter E. Disney said to the little boy, "Think, Believe, Dream, and Dare."
This is Mountainlion reminding you that we all can learn from Walt Disney on how to take on challenges in life.

How To Tell When Foods Go Bad

ICE CREAM - If you can't tell the difference between your
ice cubes and your ice cream, it's time to throw BOTH out.

FROZEN FOODS - Frozen foods that have become an integral
part of the defrosting problem in your freezer compartment
will probably be spoiled (or wrecked anyway) by the time you
pry them out with a kitchen knife.

EGGS - When something starts pecking its way out of the
shell, the egg is probably past its prime.

DAIRY PRODUCTS - Milk is spoiled when it starts to look like
yogurt. Yogurt is spoiled when it starts to look like cottage
cheese. Cottage cheese is spoiled when it starts to look
like regular cheese. Regular cheese is nothing but spoiled
milk anyway - if you can dig down and still find something
non-green, bon appetit!

MEAT - If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals
from a three-block radius to congregate outside your house,
toss the meat.

UNMARKED ITEMS: You know it is well beyond prime when you're
tempted to discard the Tupperware along with the food.

CANNED GOODS - Any canned goods that have become the size or
shape of a softball should be disposed of very carefully.

POTATOES - Fresh potatoes do not have roots, branches, or
dense, leafy undergrowth.

BREAD: Sesame seeds and Poppy seeds are the only officially
acceptable "spots" that should be seen on the surface of any
loaf of bread. Fuzzy and hairy looking white or green growth
areas are good indications that your bread has turned into
a pharmaceutical laboratory experiment. You may wish to dis-
card it at this time, depending on your interest in pharmaceuticals.

CEREAL: It is generally a good rule of thumb that cereal
should be discarded when it is two years or longer beyond
the expiration date, or when it will no longer fall out of
the box by itself.

FLOUR: Flour is spoiled when it wiggles, or things fly out
when you open it.

PRETZELS: Normally eternal, pretzels may be discarded if
they can no longer be picked up without falling apart.
Otherwise, there's nothing to stop you from eating a pretzel
that the Pharaoh put down only 4000 years ago.

RAISINS: Raisins should not usually be harder than your teeth.

SALT: It never spoils. However, if you can't chip off
reasonable amounts from the block, maybe another box is in
order, as fresh salt usually pours.

SPICES: Most spices cannot die, they just fade away. They
will be fine on your shelf, forever. Put them in your will.

VINEGAR: If your grandmother made it, it is probably still good.

THE GAG TEST - Anything that makes you gag is spoiled
(except for leftovers from what you cooked for yourself last night).

EXPIRATION DATES: This is not a marketing ploy to encourage
you to throw away perfectly good food so that you'll spend
more on groceries. Even dry foods older than you are may be
ready to replace. Perhaps you'd benefit by having a calendar
in your kitchen.

God will always take care of those who love Him and trust Him and sincerely do His will.
