Flu Mask~~~~




 
 
Flu Mask~~~~
 
 
In case we run out of masks during the flu H1N1 season.
Here is a homemade mask you can make yourself.
  
It is even compatible with the wearing of glasses.
   

One thing though ---
Make sure your mask has been washed and clean!!!!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


   

Here's wishing you all a healthy flu season!  

~ Ear Flaps



 

 

You've got to love our older Veterans.

This man, 73, wears a protective flap over his ear while Senator Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama, and Hilary Clinton address the Veterans of Foreign Wars..  I wish I could shake this man's hand...
 
I just want to know where he got it.
   We could ALL make use of something like this!
  
  

  
Love it.

This email is being circulated around the world

t

IN HONOR OF VETERAN'S DAY...



 
I know this has been around already....
 
WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME
This email is being circulated around the world - please keep it going


 
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard.... 
 
..to listen to his son whine about being bored. 
 
....to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes. 
 
to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work. 
 
...to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.
 
..to be silent when people pray to God for a new car. 
 
...to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower. 
 
..to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying. 


....to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.    


....to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.  


....to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.   


....to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog. 


.....to be civil to people who complain about their jobs.   


....to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.   


....to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house. 


The only thing harder than being a Soldier..  


Is loving one.  

 
I was asked to pass this on and I will gladly do so,
Will you???
