My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

A Simpler Life...

Ever wonder what a simpler lifestyle would bring?  Would we like to return to the 50s when you could trust your neighbor and your kids could walk to school without fear.  How can we get there and still have some of the benefits of today's technologies?  It means that you have to "downshift" to a lifestyle where you don't expect or depend on material things that you REALLY don't need.  It probably means moving to another neighborhood, town or even state to accomplish it completely.  It would or could be a SWEET escape! Imagine moving to a Donna Reed or "Leave it to Beaver" neighborhood, having an 8-5 job AND being able to afford a nice lifestyle without today's stresses...Here are 72 ideas to a simpler life....




MOODS OF A WOMAN

An angel of truth and a dream of fiction,
a woman is a bundle of contradiction.

She's afraid of a wasp, will scream at a mouse,
but will tackle her boyfriend alone in the house.

Sour as vinegar, sweet as a rose,
she'll kiss you one minute, then turn up her nose.

She'll win you in range, enchant you in silk,
she'll be stronger than brandy, milder than milk.

At times she'll be vengeful, merry and sad,
she'll hate you like poison, and love you like mad.


MOODS OF A MAN

Horny



A newly married man asked his wife, 'Would you have married me if my father hadn't left me a fortune?'

'Honey,' the woman replied sweetly, 'I'd have married you, NO MATTER WHO LEFT YOU A FORTUNE!'  





A woman walked into the pharmacy... and asked for a vibrator.

The pharmacist gestured with his index finger and said, "Come this way."

The woman replied, "If I could come that way, I wouldn't need a vibrator!"
