Why God made Mums, God created Mums from angels up above,
and sent them down to Earth to cherish and to love…..

Many people walk in and out of our lives, but Mothers leave
their footprints  in our hearts……

From my first little heartbeat and my first breath of air, Mum I
thank you for always being there….

You gave so much to me, you thought me how to be, words could
not express just what you mean to me……  

Through the good and bad journeys within this land , Mum you’ve
always been there offering your hand….

A Mothers bond will never break, For granted you I’ll never take
For you are my world you know, and I will always love you so…

Mum, God gave me to you but he gave a little piece of you to me,
So I can see you in me, no matter where you’ll ever be….

There once was a religious  young woman who went to Confession. Upon
entering the confessional, she  said, “Forgive me, Father, for I have
sinned.”
The priest said,  “Confess your sins and be forgiven.”
The young woman said, “Last  night my boyfriend made mad passionate love
to me seven  times..”
The priest thought long and hard and then said, “Squeeze  seven lemons
into a glass and then drink the juice.”
The  young woman asked, “Will this cleanse me of my sins?”
The priest  said, “No, but it will wipe that smile off of your face.”

 A man  was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was
sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, “You’re beautiful.”
Then he fell asleep again. His wife had  never heard him say that
before, so she stayed by his side. A few  minutes later his eyes
fluttered open and he said, “You’re  cute.”
The wife was disappointed because instead of “beautiful,”  it was now “cute.”
She asked, “What happened to  beautiful?”
The man replied, “The drugs are wearing  off.”

                                     *************************
Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for
company. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and
asked, “Father, my dog is dead. Could ya’ be saying’ a mass for the poor
creature?”
Father Patrick replied, “I’m afraid not; we cannot  have services for an
animal in the church. But there are some Baptists down the  lane, and
there’s no tellin’ what they believe. Maybe they’ll do something for  the
creature.”
Muldoon said, “I’ll go right away  Father. Do ya ‘think a‚ euro 5,000 is
enough to donate to them for  the service?”
Father Patrick exclaimed, “Sweet Mary, Mother of  Jesus! Why didn’t ya
tell me the dog was Catholic?
                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An elderly man walks into a confessional. The following conversation
ensues: Man: “I am 92 years old, have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many  children, grandchildren,
and great grandchildren. Yesterday,  I picked up two college girls, hitchhiking. We went to a motel, 
where I had sex with each of them three times.”
Priest:  “Are you sorry for your sins?”
Man: “What sins?”
Priest: “What kind of a Catholic are you?”
Man: “I’m  Jewish.”
Priest: “Why are you telling me all  this?”
Man: “I’m 92 years old …. I’m telling  everybody.”

Since I retired several years ago, it has become necessary for Susie to get a full-time job along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed.

Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age.
I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets home from work.

Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts  dinner. I don’t yell at her.
Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men’s Grill at the club so eating out is not reasonable. I’m ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door.

She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it’s not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that they won’t clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.

Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. But, boys, we take ‘em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won’t have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn’t hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points.

When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods.
She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I try not to make a scene. I’m a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me too.

I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Susie. I’m not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older.

However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each other.

Sincerely, Jeff

EDITOR’S NOTE:

Jeff died suddenly on March 1 of a perforated rectum. The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II golf club jammed up his rear end, with barely 5 inches of grip showing and a sledge hammer laying nearby.
His wife Susie was arrested and charged with murder. The all-woman jury took only 15 minutes to find her Not Guilty, accepting her defence that Jeff somehow, without looking, accidentally sat down on his golf club.

A mother has strengths that are so amazing.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love, and opinions.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, cries when shes happy and laughs when shes afraid.
Her love is unconditional!
There’s only one thing wrong with her, sometimes she forgets what shes worth!

 Sometimes I forget that you can see into my heart and tell how much I love you x

You’ve always been there for me, but you wont be here forever.
You’ve contributed to who I am, which has made me strong and clever.
I thank you for your love, I thank you for your time.
I thank you for your every moment you’d give your life for mine x.

My sis recently got into numerous debates and some turned out to be pretty heavy arguments about facts and truths of Irish history& facts!
One boring Sunday afternoon she decided to take a trip to Cyber Space..First Class of course Read on ….
——————————–
According to some historians, over 40% of all American presidents have had some Irish ancestry.

Saint Brendan is said to have discovered America 1,000 years before Columbus.

The Newgrange passage tomb in County Meath was constructed around 3200 BC, making it more than 600 years older than the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, and 1,000 years older than Stonehenge.

“Cemetery Sunday” is a lesser-known tradition still practiced around Ireland, although it seems to take place on whatever date is most convenient for local church leaders. A mass is celebrated for families of those buried in the local church graveyard, after which an effort is made over several days to clean up the churchyard. Special attention is traditionally given to the graves of those who have no one left among the living to remember them.

A single day of good weather that pops up in a long stretch of bad days is known in Ireland as a “pet day.”

“11th Night” is a celebration still widely observed by Protestant groups in northern Ireland, who build huge bonfires across the country on the night of July 11th. The fires are lit on the night before the July 12th commemoration of William of Orange’s defeat of King James, a Catholic, in 1690 in the Battle of the Boyne. The battle took place near Drogheda, north of Dublin.

IRELAND FACT: CRYING AT FUNERALS…”Keening” is the Irish version of loud crying at wakes practiced in several European cultures (Italy in particular). It involves wailing and expressing endearments in Gaelic to the deceased. At some wakes, the Keening goes on for hours, with many participants.

Famous wit Oscar Wilde was born Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde in Dublin in 1854.Bram Stoker was working as a civil servant in Dublin when he wrote “Dracula” in 1897.

The Battle! hahaha……..Just joking!!
Sometimes its really tough going being in a relationship with someone from a different culture.

Of course it has its upsides – obviously you get to learn about a different way of life and different habits and believes, and good food.

Good communication is an absolute must… Sometimes I find communication the biggest problem of all and of course misconception through language barriers.
It would be great to hear from someone in the same situation or am I just overreacting?????

Good luck!!!

Can anyone help me?   

I was really shocked to hear of such a tragedy. I have been a fan of Heaths .He was an incredible Actor he made an impact on me ever since I seen the movie Ten Things I Hate About You. May our thoughts and prayers be with your Family and Friends at this tragic time in their lives. Heath, your smile will forever be imprinted in our hearts, you will be sadly missed but never ever forgotten.

I would listen to children all day they are so innocent!
