Bread




















Several nights ago I went to work with my mom. My mom works at the local homeless shelter as the shelter manager. My dad is the shelter director. My mom does all sorts of things including cooking dinner for the residents. That particular night we baked some bread. We put the bread out for the residents to serve themselves. One guy (we will name him Ron) Ron came up to us and told us how this bread brought back memories to his childhood and how every night his mother baked bread and gave he and his three siblings the heels of the loaves as a bedtime treat. Ron went into great detail about how is mother made eight loaves of bread because his neighbors (who were also relatives) worked in the fields all day and his mother brought the bread for their lunch break.
It's really cool when you hit something unintentionally like that.

Before you read this I would like you to please remove your hats and please leave them at the door.

I’ve never enjoyed the physical act of writing, and this goes back to my early years, when we were made to write with the old-fashioned dip pens and real ink. (I know, this dates me!)
Being a right-handed writer, this meant that I always had an ink stain on my Right hand, as it blotted what I had just written, or my writing was illegible as I tried to avoid the first issue.
I also used to (and still do) dislike intensely any writing-based activities at school, such as essays. Maybe it was because the subject matter was given to us, or maybe it was because I hadn’t come to appreciate the feeling that writing can give you.
Anyway, I welcomed the advent of the personal computer, when I could write (or type) legibly, and much faster too. (My handwriting is sort of readable if I go slowly, but that doesn’t happen too often, no matter how good my intentions are.) Now I enjoy being able to write, people enjoying what I write and people being able to read it without struggling to make out what I wrote. I'M IN LOVE WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY!! With the exception of my Ipod. IT DOESN'T EVEN HOLD ALL OF MY MUSIC!!!! AHHHH!! SOMEONE!! BUY ME A NEW ONE!! Preferably an Ipod Touch; They are freaking amazing. Anyway thanks for reading this.

This. Is. Sooooooo. FRUSTERATING!!!

Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question.You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?Let's find out just how clever you really are.... Ready? GO!!!

FirstQuestion: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!Try not to screw up next time. Now answer the second question, but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK?



Second Question: I f you overtake the last person, then you are...?


.Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?You're not very good at this, are you?



Third Question: Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20 . Now add another 1000 Now add 10. What is the total?



Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!Today is definitely not your day, is it? Maybe you'll get the last question right.... Maybe.



Fourth Question: Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?..........Did you Answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't. Her name is Mary. Read the question again!




Okay, now the bonus round: A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done. Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?..........He just has to open his mouth and ask... It's really very simple.... Like you!


Don't feel too bad. I didn't get any right either.

Wierd laws

Moscow

Some say this is just an excuse for Moscow police to over-ticket drivers, but you should still watch the filth factor on your rental car. How dirty is dirty? That’s unclear. A recent newspaper survey explored the idea of how to even define “dirty” — almost half said a car was too filthy if you couldn’t read the license plate, while 9 percent said the determining factor was if you couldn’t see the driver.
Penalty: You can get a ticket. Fines might be, shall we say, open to interpretation. Here is a case where you might politely offer to pay the officer up front — $100 should cover it — and be on your way.



France and England

By some accounts, April 5, 1910 was the day romance died on French railways: Kissing was reportedly banned to help deter lover-induced rail delays. But the law seems to be unheard of today. “Are you sure this isn’t a law in Great Britain?” a French spokeswoman at the consulate asked us. What a coincidence: It turns out that Virgin Trains has recently posted “No Kissing” signs at its station in Warrington Bank Quay, in northwest England.
Penalty: While there’s no penalty now for train-related kissing in France, the folks at Warrington Bank Quay will politely ask you to move your smooching to the designated “kissing zone” near the car park.
