Bless My Computer.

Post 403 ~~ Friday, 1st February, 2008.

Hello My Friends ~~ I hope you are all doing well and looking
forward to the weekend. Let's hope it's a good one, with the
weather being a bit milder for us all. It isn't too bad here today
and I'm thankful for that. Strange how it can be 37C one day,
and down to 27C the next, although it will be going up again
so they tell us, and rain is predicted AGAIN. Maybe this time.

My first item tonight was sent by my dear friend Connie
I think a few of you bloggers will enjoy it. Thanks Connie.

Dear Lord,
Every single evening as I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny Prayer keeps running through my head :

God bless all my family wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm for they're so close to me.

And God, there is one more thing I wish that You could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking, Please bless my computer too.

Now I know that it's unusual to Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second Lord, while I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metal box holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them by the kindness that they give,
and this little scrap of metal takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them, Much the same as You.
We share in what life brings us and from that our friendships
grew.

Please take an extra minute from your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book that's filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach to each and every friend,
B;ess each e-mail inbox and each person who hits "send."

When You update your Heavenly list on Your own Great CD-ROM.
Bless everyone who says this prayer sent up to GOD.com

Amen.

Lady Di sent me this one, and although I have posted iy before
it can stand a re-run. Kids are so cute. Thanks Di.

If you could change one thing about your Mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd
get rid of that.

sister who did it and not me.

of her head.

When you stop laughing, pass it on to other Mothers, Aunts,
Grandmothers and anyone else who has anything to do with
kids or just need a good laugh.

The middle-aged business man returned from his honeymoon
with his young wife and showed her around his country house,
telling her she could make whatever changes she liked, change
the furniture, the wall coverings, and do a complete re- design
of the entire house -- whatever would make her happy.

A few days later the businessman had to return to his City office
and apartment. His young wife soon set about making changes
to the country house.

That weekend, when the businessman returned home, his wife
embraced him and said she had prepared his dinner.

"I'll just get a bottle of wine from the cellar," said the businessman.
But when he entered the cellar he was shocked. Row after row of
wine racks were completely empty. He could only find a few
bottles of non-vintage wine.

"Darling," called the businessman, "where have you put the rest of
the wine ?"
"I had a major clear out," replied his young wife. "You had some
really old bottles. Didn't you read the labels ? It's not healthy to
keep out-of-date stuff so I threw away all the wine that was past
the date written on it."

I was once invited by a business colleague for a meal in an
expensive restaurant while on a sales trip to Germany.

The whole restaurant was decorated with the stuffed heads of
animals. We had to sit next to a wall on which was hung the
huge head of a rhinoceros.

"My goodness," I said to the waiter. "That rhino looks fierce."
"It was," admitted the waiter. It killed my father."
"I'm sorry to hear that," I said. "Did it happen on safari in Africa?"

"No," said the waiter. "It happened here in Germany. My father
was sitting in a chair underneath the rhino head when it dropped
off the wall and hit him !!"

Last Tuesday, I was in the doctor's waiting room and a young man
came in with an expensive watch for the doctor.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you !" said the man giving the
expensive watch. "This is a small token of my thanks for all
your excellent treatment of my uncle."

"But he died last week," said the doctor.
"I know," replied the young man. "Thanks to your treatment
I've just inherited five million pounds."

One door- to -door vacuum cleaner salesman consistently
beat all sales records. His boss, therefore decided to accompany
the salesman to see what sales techniques he was using in the
hope of being able to persuade others to use them.

The first door the salesman knocked on was opened by a middle-
aged woman. "Good morning," the salesman said. "Yesterday
I visited one of your neighbors and I was demonstrating this
vacuum cleaner when she told me a lot of interesting gossip.
Would you like me to come in and tell you what she said ?"

When I visited my young nephew I noticed that his dog was
scratching. "Does your dog have fleas ?" I asked.

My nephew looked at me scornfully and replied, "Surely you
know that dogs don't have fleas - - they have puppies."

The Browns were a wealthy middle-aged couple who lived in
a large house in the country. All went well for many years
until a new maid arrived. She was extremely attractive. Within
six months of her arrival, Mr Brown started to wake up every
morning at 5 am instead of his usual 7.30 am.

"Where are you going ?" asked Mrs Brown as her husband got
out of bed and slipped on his dressing gown.

"Once awake, I can't get back to sleep," Mr Brown replied, "so
I think I'll do some work in my study or walk around the garden.
You don't need to get up - just go back to sleep. You know how
deep sleep keeps you beautiful."

Mrs Brown began to suspect that her husband was sneaking into
the maid's room. What should she do ?
It was soon to be the maid's parents' wedding anniversary, so one
Thursday afternoon when Mr Brown was on a business trip to
London, Mrs Brown suggested that the maid might like to pay a
surprise visit to her parents.

"You can go now, if you like," suggested Mrs Brown, "and come
back on Monday."
"Thanks very much," said the maid, it's most kind of you." And
off she went to pack for her trip.
Soon as the maid left the house, Mr Brown returned home about
9 pm and, after watching TV for a bit, went to bed.

Promptly at 5 am, Mr Brown woke up and said he couldn't sleep
any more and was going for a stroll around the garden.

As soon as her husband left the room, and she could hear him
cleaning his teeth in the bathroom, Mrs Brown rushed to the
maid's room and got into the maid's bed.

Mrs Brown had been lying in the dark for about 5 minutes when
she heard the sash window of the room being slowly lifted and
a man climbed in through the window.

Mrs Brown braced herself in the darkness, but relaxed as the man
made tender passionate love to her. She was ecstatic. Why could
her husband make such wonderful love to the maid and be so
boring in bed with her ?

"Darling," whispered Mrs Brown snuggling up to the man in bed,
"let's do it again."

"Sorry luv," replied the man. Mrs Brown was aghast. It was not
her husband's voice. "No time for more, now," continued the man,
"but I can come back when I've finished the milk round."

"My mother-in=law has gone to the West Indies."
"Jamaica ?"
"No -- she decided to go by herself."
