How Men and Women Think

Filed under: Just For Fun — Tags: , , — SusanCarroll @ 9:49 am

Being an online marketer I have a Twitter account and 1 of the things I try to do everyday is read the tweets of those I follow.

Today while checking the tweets I was shown a video I just had to share. Of course the first thing I did was retweet the sender of the information because that’s the polite thing to do on Twitter. But then I thought I’d go ahead and post the video here so non-Twitterers could watch it too.

The title of the video is “Men’s Brains vs Women’s Brains” and it’s a hilarious description from Mark Gungor’s Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage Conference. It describes the difference between men’s and women’s brains when it comes to telling and remembering details (and everything else).

Now there is an ad at the bottom of the video however I am not endorsing him or his videos since I personally don’t know anything about either.

Watch the video because it does explain a lot and I think it’s really funny.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

To Your Success,
Susan

Old Dogs!!!

Filed under: Just For Fun — Tags: — SusanCarroll @ 10:51 am

My daughter sent this to me and being an old dog I just had to share.

I don’t know who wrote this cute parable and will gladly give credit to it’s creator if they send me their info.

*********************

Old Dogs

One day the old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he’s lost.
Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.


The old German Shepherd thinks, ‘Oh, oh! I’m in deep doo-doo now!’ Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly, ‘Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I
wonder, if there are any more around here?’


Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. ‘Whew!’ says the leopard, ‘That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!’


Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes, but the old German Shepherd sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up.


The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.


The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, ‘Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!


Now, the old German Shepherd sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, ‘What am I going to do now?’, but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says… ‘Where’s that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!


Moral of this story…


Don’t mess with the old dogs….. age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience..


If you don’t send this to five ‘old’ friend s right away, there will be five fewer people laughing in the world.


Of course, I am in no way insinuating that any of you are old, some are just more ‘youthfully challenged.’


You did notice the size of the print,
didn’t you?

I hope you got a chuckle out of this. I did.

To Your Success,
Susan

Pumpkin Painting for Halloween

Halloween will be here in a couple of weeks and if you’re like most you haven’t carved your jack-o-lantern yet.

And why not?

Well the 2 most common reasons for not carving your pumpkin early are:

  1. The jack-o-lantern won’t last until the holiday.
  2. Procrastination - who wants to clean out the insides and stick their hands in all that gooey mess?

So rather than wait until the last minute to get some real pumpkin decorations out why not paint your pumpkin for Halloween?

Painting pumpkin Halloween faces can be enjoyed by everyone and can be done even when the holiday is still a couple of weeks off. And when Halloween is over you don’t have to throw out your pumpkin. You can use it as a Thanksgiving decoration. Simply turn it around and leave it plain or paint it again.

Now with just a few supplies anyone can transform a plain pumpkin into a fun homemade Halloween decoration. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • paint
  • brushes
  • sealer
  • your imagination or stencils

So how hard is it to paint a pumpkin?

It can be as easy as you want it to be as shown in this pumpkin face painting video.

Or it can be a bit more sophisticated.

The 6  important things to remember for Halloween pumpkin paintings are:

  1. Choose only firm, sound pumpkins
  2. Choose a good size and shape - smaller pumpkins usually have better shapes and take less time and paint
  3. Clean and dry the pumpkin - don’t get the blossom-end wet because this makes the pumpkin rot faster. You may find it easier to clean the pumpkin and keep the blossom-end dry by using baby wipes or a wet paper towel.
  4. Use a black Sharpie-brand permanent marker instead of black paint, for adding lines and lashes.
  5. After your creation is completely use a dry clear shiny (gloss) spray sealer to protect it and make it shine.
  6. Have fun

So this year why not try painting your pumpkins for Halloween.  It’s  easy and fun for the whole family. You can learn more about pumpkin face painting in this guide, “Pumpkin Painting, Anyone Can Do It, Really!” .

Happy Halloween,
Susan

IF MY BODY WERE A CAR …

Filed under: Just For Fun — Tags: , — SusanCarroll @ 11:39 pm

My daughter sent this to me yesterday… Think she’s trying to tell me something?

IF MY BODY WERE A CAR

car

If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model.

I’ve got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ..

But that’s not the worst of it.

My headlights are out of focus and it’s especially hard to see things up close.

My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.

My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

But here’s the worst of it —

gramps

Almost every time I sneeze, cough or splutter….. either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!

P.S. Hey, my body may be getting old but I’m not. And if I could trade it in I’d pick one like this…
