Are you an A, B or C?
There’s a new test suggesting finger length can tell a bit about someone’s personality.

New Test Suggests Finger Length Tells Personality UNDATED text size

(WKRC/Kate Murphy) — There’s a new theory about what the length of your fingers says about your personality.

A) The charming but pragmatic one. People who have a ring finger longer than the index finger tend to be charming and irresistible to some at least. A’s are the ones who can talk themselves out of just about any situation. Additionally, they’re aggressive and excellent problem solvers. They tend to be incredibly compassionate and are often scientists, engineers, soldiers, and crossword puzzle masters.

B) The confident, get-it-done type. People with shorter ring fingers than index fingers are the self-confident, get-it-done types. They love solitude in which to work and accomplish the things they need to do, but that doesn’t necessarily indicate introversion. They’re very goal oriented and don’t like to be disturbed. They appreciate what they have but often hunger for more.

C) The peacenik C’s are the peace-loving conflict-avoiding types. People with even ring and index finger length are well organized and want nothing but to get along with everyone. They are faithful in relationships, tender and caring partners, but beware: C’s have a fiery core that while suppressed in normal day-to-day activities can be dangerous if unleashed. They might be peaceniks, but please, stay on their good side.

People Have Dismissed These 6 Myths From as Far Back as the 1920 That Are Actually True

People Have Dismissed These 6 Myths From as Far Back as the 1920 That Are Actually True

Posted Mar 31, by Dominic Trombino
You wouldn’t expect cigarette packages to be a huge wealth of knowledge, but in the 1920s, that’s exactly what Lambert & Butler tried to do with their cigarette cards. Each one would prove a common myth wrong, and for the most part they were pretty accurate. However, after almost 100 years of additional research, here are a few that turned out to be true all along.

1. Drinking hot tea will cool you down

Lambert & Butler claimed this was just your body tricking itself because it would get warm when you drank the tea, then return to normal, thus your brain tricking you into thinking you’ve cooled down. However, more recent studies show that we have receptors on our tongue that trigger our body to cool down, so drinking something hot tells the body to chill out for a bit.

2. Artillery fire causes rain

According to Lambert & Butler, no explosion would be able to generate the energy needed to create rainfall, and while this was true for a while, that changed in 1945 with the introduction of the atomic bomb. Following the nuclear bombs dropped on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, “black rain” came within a half an hour. “Black rain” is highly radioactive and is caused by extreme thermal changes in the atmosphere, along with millions of particles of debris becoming vessels for condensation.

3. The sun can cause both prairie and forest fires

As Lambert & Butler pointed out, the hottest deserts only reach temperatures of 140 degrees, which is far below the flashpoint of wood at 572. However, if the sunlight is concentrated or even simply directed at something like dry grass which has a much lower flashpoint, fire is possible.

4. The Weather Changes with the Changing Moon

Lambert & Butler were insistent on this one, even though the belief has been held since ancient Roman times. Unfortunately for Lambert & Butler, researchers in Arizona and at the National Climactic Data Center noticed the smallest of increases in the flow of a stream during a quarter moon. They then went back and looked at rainfall data as far back as 1895 and found a very slight increase of rain during quarter moons. It’s only 5 percent, but it’s something.

5. Ozone is present in the air at the sea-side

Lambert & Sons wanted to make sure people knew the smell of the seaside wasn’t extra ozone in the air, simply decaying seaweed. And that was probably true then, but currently, seasides do contain much more ozone than other areas. The reason for this increase? Shipping. Diesel engines end up producing chemicals that react and encourage the production of ozone.

6. Bats are Blind

Ok, so Lambert & Butler did believe bats could see, which is actually correct for most bats, but their whole argument was simply that since bats have eyes, they can see, which isn’t great logic. What’s more, there are plenty of different species of bats all of which see in different ways. So while the pair of cigarette makers were arguing the correct stance, they weren’t quite doing it in the right way. We’ll give them this one.

FLUBBER – 3/23/2015 – DIY Project

******************************************************************************

Flubber DIY

1/2 cup white Elmer’s glue
2/3 cup warm water
food coloring
1 teaspoon Borax
2 glass bowls

In a small glass bowl, mix together glue, 1/3 cup warm water and food coloring (add enough drop until desired color). In another glass bowl, mix Borax and 1/3 cup warm water. Pour glue solution into bowl containing Borax mixture, gently stir together. It will be wet, and within a few minutes it will set. Keep in a container to keep it from drying out.

******************************************************************************

This looks like a really neat project to do with children. There are not many children that do not like to make things out of clay, Silly Putty or Play Doh. The Flubber reminds me of Play Doh or Silly Putty.

What Will 2015 Bring You

******************************************************************************

I copied this because it’s supposed to let you know how the year for 2015 is going to be. Hope you guys like what it reveals.

******************************************************************************

I will put this notice on my post from now on, every time that I copy a post from Facebook, so all of my readers will know that this is not my work, but that of someone else. This, like so many of my posts have, came from Facebook. This was from one of Kelly Bagnasco’s posts, from Courtney Luper‘s photo. It’s a cute and funny little story.

******************************************************************************

THE $2.00 BILL I TRIED TO SPEND:

IF YOU’RE AS OLD AS I AM, THIS IS A RIOT!

Everyone should start carrying $2 bills! I’m STILL laughing!!

I think we need to quit saving our $2 bills and bring them out in public. The younger generation doesn’t even know they exist!

STORY: On my way home from work, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. I have a $50 bill and a $2 bill. I figure with the $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about irritating anyone for trying to break a $50 bill.

Me: ‘Hi, I’d like one seven-layer burrito please, to go.’

Server: ‘That’ll be $1.04. Eat in?’

Me: ‘No, it’s to go.’ At this point, I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny.

Server: ‘Uh, hang on a sec, I’ll be right back.’

He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within my earshot. The following conversation occurs between the two of them:

Server: ‘Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?’
Manager: ‘No. A what?’
Server: ‘A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me…’
Manager: ‘Ask for something else. There’s no such thing as a $2 bill.’
Server: ‘Yeah, thought so.’

He comes back to me and says, ‘We don’t take these. Do you have anything else?’

Me: ‘Just this fifty. You don’t take $2 bills? Why?
Server: ‘I don’t know.’
Me: ‘See here where it says legal tender?’
Server: ‘Yeah.’
Me: ‘So, why won’t you take it?’
Server: ‘Well, hang on a sec.’

He goes back to his manager, who has been watching me like I’m a shoplifter, and says to him, ‘He says I have to take it.’

Manager: ‘Doesn’t he have anything else?’
Server: ‘Yeah, a fifty. I’ll get it and you can open the safe and get change.
Manager: ‘I’m not opening the safe with him in here.’
Server: ‘What should I do?’
Manager: ‘Tell him to come back later when he has real money.’
Server: ‘I can’t tell him that! You tell him.’
Manager: ‘Just tell him.’
Server: ‘No way! This is weird. I’m going in back.

The manager approaches me and says,
‘I’m sorry, but we don’t take big bills this time of night.’

Me: ‘It’s only seven o’clock! Well then, here’s a two dollar bill.’
Manager: ‘We don’t take those, either.’
Me: ‘Why not?’
Manager: ‘I think you know why.’
Me: ‘No really, tell me why.’

Manager: ‘Please leave before I call mall security.’
Me: ‘Excuse me?’
Manager: ‘Please leave before I call mall security.’
Me: ‘What on earth for?’
Manager: ‘Please, sir..’

Me: ‘Uh, go ahead, call them.’
Manager: ‘Would you please just leave?’
Me: ‘No.’
Manager: ‘Fine — have it your way then.’
Me: ‘Hey, that’s Burger King, isn’t it?’

At this point, he backs away from me and calls mall security on the phone around the corner. I have two people staring at me from the dining area and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect.

A few minutes later this 45-year-oldish guy comes in.

Guard: ‘Yeah, Mike, what’s up?’
Manager (whispering): ‘This guy is trying to give me some (pause) funny money.’
Guard: ‘No kidding! What?’
Manager: ‘Get this. A two dollar bill.’
Guard (incredulous): ‘Why would a guy fake a two dollar bill?’
Manager: ‘I don’t know. He’s kinda weird. He says the only other thing he has is a fifty.’
Guard: ‘Oh, so the fifty’s fake!’
Manager: ‘No, the two dollar bill is.’
Guard: ‘Why would he fake a two dollar bill?’
Manager : ‘I don’t know! Can you talk to him, and get him out of here?’
Guard: ‘Yeah.’

Security Guard walks over to me and……
Guard: ‘Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you’re trying to use.’
Me: ‘Uh, no.’
Guard: ‘Lemme see ’em.’
Me: ‘Why?’
Guard: ‘Do you want me to get the cops in here?’

At this point I’m ready to say, ‘Sure, please!’ but I want to eat, so I say, ‘I’m just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this two dollar bill.

I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches like I’m taking a swing at him. He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands, and he says, ‘Hey, Mike, what’s wrong with this bill?’
Manager: ‘It’s fake.’
Guard: ‘It doesn’t look fake to me.’
Manager: ‘But it’s a two dollar bill.’
Guard: ‘Yeah? ‘
Manager: ‘Well, there’s no such thing, is there?’

The security guard and I both look at him like he’s an idiot and it dawns on the guy that he has no clue and is an idiot.

So, it turns out that my burrito was free, and he threw in a small drink and some of those cinnamon thingies, too.

Made me want to get a whole stack of two dollar bills just to see what happens when I try to buy stuff.

Haha!!!!

Fifty Years Later

******************************************************************************

Courtney Luper

Senior Sex

The husband leans over and asks his wife, “Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.”
Yes, she says, “I remember it well.”

OK, he says, “How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time’s sake?”

“Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!”
A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, he thinks to himself, I’ve got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I’ll just keep an eye on them so there’s no trouble. So he follows them.

The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in.. Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.

The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn’t know.

After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman, is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing, I’ve got to ask them what their secret is.

So, as the couple passes, he says to them, “Excuse me, but that was something else. You must’ve had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?”

Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply,
“Fifty years ago that wasn’t an electric fence.”

Close Your Eyes…..And Go Back.

GO BACK.

….Before the internet or PC or the MAC….

….Before semi-automatics and crack….

….Before Playstation, SEGA, Super Nintendo, even before Atari….

….Before cell phones, CDs, DVDs, voicemail and e-mail….

….Go way back, way…..way….way back.

I’m talkin’ bout hide and seek at dusk

Red light, Green light

Red Rover….Red Rover….

Playing kickball & dodgeball until the first…no…second…no…third

street light came on

Ring around the Rosie

London Bridge

Hot Potato

Hop Scotch

Jump Rope

You’re It!!

Parents stood on the front porch and yelled (or whistled) for you to

come home – no pagers or cell phones.

Take One Giant Step….May I?

Seeing shapes in the clouds.

Endless summer days and hot summer nights (no A/C) with the windows open.

The sound of crickets.

Running through the sprinkler.

Cereal boxes with that GREAT prize in the bottom.

Cracker Jacks with the same thing.

Ice Pops with 2 sticks you could break and share with a friend.

.. but wait….there’s more…

Watching Saturday morning cartoons Tom and Jerry, serial adventures, Captain Midnight,

Cisco Kid, The Lone Ranger, Boston Blackie.

Catchin’ lightning bugs in a jar

Christmas morning

Your first day of school.

Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses.

Climbing trees.

Swinging as high as you could in those long swings to try and reach the sky.

A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers.

Jumpin’ down the steps.

Jumpin’ on the bed.

Pillow fights.

Runnin’ home from the western movie you just saw ’til you were out of breath.

Laughing so hard your stomach hurt.

Being tired from PLAYING.

WORK: meant taking out the garbage, cutting the grass, washing the car, or doing the dishes.

Your first crush.

Your first kiss (I mean the one that you kept your mouth CLOSED and your eyes OPEN).

Rainy days at school and the smell of damp concrete and chalk erasers.

Oh, I’m not finished yet….

Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer, so was a swig from the hose.

Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars of your bike.

Attaching pieces of cardboard to your bike frame to rub against your spokes.

Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.

Class field trips with soggy sandwiches.

When nearly everyone’s mom was at home when the kids got there from school.

When a quarter seemed like a fair allowance, and another quarter a MIRACLE.

When ANY parent could discipline ANY kid, or feed him, or use him to carry groceries….

And nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.

When your parents took you to the cafeteria and it was a real treat.

When being sent to the principal’s office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited

you at home.

Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn’t because of drive by shootings, drugs,

gangs, etc. We simply did not want our parents to get mad at us.

Didn’t that feel good? Just to go back and say, “Yeah, I remember that!” Well let’s keep

going!..

Let’s go back to the time when….

Decisions were made by going “eeny-meeny-miney-mo”

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, “do over!”

“Race Issues” meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Catching fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening.

It wasn’t odd to have two or three “best” friends.

The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.

Nobody was prettier than Mom.

Scrapes and bruises were kissed by mom and made better.

Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.

Abilities were discovered because of a “double-dog-dare”

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.

The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.

Water balloons were the ultimate, ultimate weapon.

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have lived during a more pleasant

simpler time!

I wonder how many of you that I have sent this to remember all of these things. I know some

of you are my vintage.

The slide show has ended.

Those of you who remember will have lived in an era that no one else will ever experience. The era has passed and slowly those of us who lived it are passing also. If you do not remember, then ask your parents, grandparents, or great grandparents. We went from am radio to the stars. Your era is here, be part of it. Make it worthwhile for future generations to build on.

Keep God in your lives.

******************************************************************************

I grew up during that time. Most of “playtime” included using sticks or rocks as different things like a sword or a chair for your doll to sit on. We used to mix up dirt, flowers, leaves and water for “supper” for our dolls. There was no such thing as plastic food back then.

Television was in black and white and had tubes that made them run and they burned out quite often. There were only three channels besides the Public Broadcast Station (PBS). Color TV had not been invented yet either. That would come in 1969. FM radio had not even been discovered or invented, or whatever you call it.

Records came in three sizes and speeds, which were 78 RPMs, 45 RPMs, and 33 and 1/3 RPMs. RPM -Revolutions Per Minute. Even the hole in the middle of the records was a different size for each speed. Notice the difference in the pictures of the records below. You can even see the little funny shaped disc in the middle of the one that is 33 and 1/3 record so that it could be played on a regular record player. You either had to put the disc in the middle of each record or a special attachment on the record player itself to be able to play the 33 and 1/3 records. If you didn’t want a whole phonograph player, you could buy just a turntable to play the records with.

Telephones had a hand held receiver and a base with a dial pad that had 10 holes in it and it was numbered from 0 to 9, and you put your finger in the hole corresponding to the number you wanted to call and then turned the dial to the right until it came all the way around to the stopper.

Those were the days when parents could actually discipline their children. When you did something wrong your Mom, Dad, or whoever would call you to them to be punished. You knew if they only called your first name you could wait a little while before you had to go running to them. If they added your middle name to it when you were called, you had better not wait too long to go, but if they called your FULL NAME, you knew you had better get there as fast as you could because the longer you waited, the worse it would be. And if you were one that had your legs hit with a switch, you better pick a switch of the right size, or they would pick it for you. You learned really quickly what size of a switch to pick. Once the proper switch was picked, you got three hits on the back of your legs and that was it. At least that was how it was done if it was done properly. Of course there were always the parents that went overboard and actually beat and/or whipped their children unmercifully, and some would actually draw blood. Those were the parents that got in trouble by the police.

Things were a lot different back then in other ways too. It didn’t seem like people were as mean back then as they are now. Religion was practiced a lot more then. You actually had nice pretty clothes to wear to Sunday School and to Church, as well as dress shoes. Parents took their children to church and they went to their classes and the children went to their classes. Once the children were old enough, they went to the Church service with their parents and the whole family sat together in Church. Of course, this was before the days of Madeline O’Hare when people were free to talk openly about their religious beliefs and Bible reading, The Lord’s Prayer and The Pledge Of Allegiance to the USA were done at the start of every day at school. Unfortunately, ever since Madeline O’Hare had anything religious taken out of the schools and any place else that she could, the USA has been going downhill.

I feel like if only we could go back to that time, then things would be a lot better than what they are now. But, since we can’t go back to that time, at least the ones of us that grew up back then can have fond memories to fall back on when we think about our childhood.

12 Enormous Dogs That Have Zero Awareness Of How Big They Are

******************************************************************************

Hope you enjoy seeing all of these huge dogs and some of their owners. Some one these dogs is in hard to get out dog carrier. I have no idea how he got in there in the first place.

******************************************************************************

Posted Jan 18, by Brandon Siewert

Sometimes dogs have a way of becoming so wrapped up in their affection for their owners, they forget about their surroundings, or even their own physical size and stature (we’ve all seen ones wreak havoc with their wrecking-ball-like tails).

In this case, these gigantic dogs forget that, well, they’re gigantic. Either that, or they just simply don’t care, asserting their enormity wherever they so please – namely, on top of their owners. The funny thing is though, that these owners don’t seem to mind. And actually, they seem to love it. And we totally can’t blame ’em.

“The Red Lights”

******************************************************************************

“THE RED LIGHT’S”
Here’s a hysterical story that you have to ready if you are looking for a laugh! LOL

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car, neither one could hardly see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red but they went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, “I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light!” After a few more minutes they came to another intersection, the light was red, and again they went right through. This time, the passenger was almost sure that the light had been red, but was also concerned that she might be seeing things. She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red and they went right through it. She turned to the other woman and said, “Mildred! Did you know we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us!” Mildred turned to her and said, “Oh My Gosh!! Am I driving!!?”
