GREAT TECHNOLOGY!

Technology

You Type...She speaks...technology has far surpassed me!!! This is amazing. Try it and see!!
Turn up the volume.
She will say anything you type.
I sure don't know how they do this!
When you move the mouse around, her eyes follow the pointer.
When you write something in the left space and then click on 'Say it,' she says it!
You can also change persons doing the talking and the language they speak.
Technology! Wow !!

Aaah, the joys of ice fishing. Its a sport enjoyed by many around the world and has been in existence for centuries. Of course you need a frozen body of water, a fishing pole, warm clothes and patience. Some people love it as a pastime in winter and others think it sucks. Here is my compilation of pictures on the topic:

Now in this picture we can see 2 newly arrived Canadians that are confused as to the best time of the year to fish. Guys, the best time to fish is in February and not April. OK, next:

This is ice fishing in Korea. There are many countries participating in ice-fishing and as you can see they all have their own techniques of catching fish. I am hoping there is enough fish for all these people.

Here is a different form of ice-fishing. Might make women take up the sport! OK boys dont forget about the shrinkage factor and I'm not talking about the fish here!

Ice fishing is a competitive sport. Even the Coke Bear (made famous in Coke commercials) gets hungry. But there should be enough for everyone! You could be on his menu if you get to close. OK, next you will see a demonstration about keeping your distances:

And finally this where I used to go in Ste-Anne de la Pérade in Québec.

Its a great way for families to have fun during the day and party at night. So what do you think? Is it fun or does it suck?

I'm still here folks!

We are experiencing technical problems with my blog. Just hang in there. Also lots of stress on the homefront! How does that serenity prayer go?

SOMEBODY WILL NEED A FIRST AID KIT!

This short video makes me laugh so much. I dont know whats wrong with me. I guess I've been under a lot of stress in the last few days. Enjoy!

BE PATIENT !

At certain times of our life we have all loved and lost. We need courage to trust and love again. Its a slow process and when we are young the sting is so painful that we think we will never recover. This is dedicated to someone I love very much but is suffering from a broken heart . This song offers a message of hope that will heal your heart. Just remember you are beautiful inside out! Here are my 7 days of inspiration. Take one a day.....and feel great all week!

DAY 1: Hard times never last.
DAY 2: You do more good deeds than you realize!
DAY 3: Imagining the life of your dreams is the first step toward living it!
DAY 4: Spread some joy. Smile!
DAY 5: Hope is here to stay.
DAY 6: You are what you think. Think fabulous!
DAY 7: Hang in there. You can do it!

NOT AGAIN ! ! !

Its my birthday again! Nooooooooo! So someone who supposedly likes me sent me this e-mail. I decided to share it with you my viewers. Have fun at my expense.......

Very timely and appropriate because "none" of us is getting any younger!

I can almost feel myself losing weight . . . by forwarding this to you! You'll understand at the end..

> I've seen two shows lately that went on and on about how mid-life is a great time for women. Just last week Oprah had a whole show on how great menopause will be . . . Puhleeeeeeeze! I've had a few thoughts of my own and would like to share them with you. Whether you are pushing 40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing your luck), you'll probably relate.

Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache.

> In mid-life women no longer have upper arms, we have wing spans. We are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, we are flying squirrels in drag.

> Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can see your rear without turning around..

> Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless.

> Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube top and scream, 'Listen, honey, even the Roman empire fell and those will too.'

Mid-life brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves and we're sitting on our biggest ones.

> Mid-life is when you look at your know-it-all, cellphone carrying teenager and think, 'For this I have stretch marks?'

> In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can retain is water.

Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand McNally--more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of Wisconsin .

> Mid-life means that you become more reflective. You start pondering the 'big' questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?

> But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important. We realize that breasts sag, hips expand, and chins double, but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any of you trade the knowledge that you have now, for the body you had way back when? Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom and love we've acquired.. That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!
