Her name is Laura Bento and she calls it the Bento Lunches.
Laura loves her husband very much and every morning she makes him a lunch, that he eats later at work. The meals never look the same. It can be sushi, or hot-dogs, or mini-burgers, but they always look different. Great idea, great wife. Just take a look!!! 647
Gup Shup / Caster Semenya and male-female Controversy« on: December 29, 2009, 07:28:35 PM »
I'm sure you know the story.
South African runner Caster Semenya, 18, won the 800 meters at the world championships with a stunningly dominating run. By now Caster Semenya, has been reported as a potential disqualification on the grounds that the IAAF had conducted tests on her to establish her sex, and that she might be male. The problem is that Caster Semenya looks like a man (does she?) and she can be a hermaphrodite. And this means she is not "entirely female". And her "not "entirely female"" status means that she may not compete against another female athletes. Her family is outraged at suggestions that Semenya, who has a muscular build and a deep voice, isn't a woman. What do you think, when you see these photos? Does she look more like a man or a woman? 649

Gup Shup / Ever Dream This Man?« on: December 29, 2009, 06:28:48 PM »
In January 2006 in New York, the patient of a well-known psychiatrist draws the face of a man that has been repeatedly appearing in her dreams.
In more than one occasion that man has given her advice on her private life. The woman swears she has never met the man in her life. That portrait lies forgotten on the psychiatrist's desk for a few days until one day another patient recognizes that face and says that the man has often visited him in his dreams. He also claims he has never seen that man in his waking life. The psychiatrist decides to send the portrait to some of his colleagues that have patients with recurrent dreams. Within a few months, four patients recognize the man as a frequent presence in their own dreams. All the patients refer to him as THIS MAN. From January 2006 until today, at least 2000 people have claimed they have seen this man in their dreams, in many cities all over the world: Los Angeles, Berlin, San Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, New Delhi, Moscow etc. At the moment there is no ascertained relation or common trait among the people that have dreamed of seeing this man. Moreover, no living man has ever been recognized as resembling the man of the portrait by the people who have seen this man in their dreams. Several theories have been developed to explain the mysteriously recurring presence of this man in the dreams of different people who are not related in any way. The following theories are the ones that elicit the greatest interest among the dreamers themselves. ARCHETYPE THEORY According to Jung's psychoanalytic theory, this man is an archetypal image belonging to the collective unconscious that can surface in times of hardship (emotional development, dramatic changes in our lives, stressful circumstances etc.) in particularly sensitive subjects. RELIGIOUS THEORY According to this theory this man is the image of the Creator, that is to say one of the forms in which God manifests himself today. This is the reason why his indications and the words he utters during the dreams should be decidedly followed by the dreamers. DREAM SURFER THEORY It is the most interesting theory and the one that has the greatest implications, but it has also the lowest scientific credibility. According to this theory this man is a real person, who can enter people's dreams by means of specific psychological skills. Some believe that in real life this man looks like the man in the dreams. Others think that the man in the dreams looks completely different from his real life counterpart. Some people seem to believe that behind this man there is a mental conditioning plan developed by a major corporation. 651
Gup Shup / Use the law of Attraction for 2010 New Year Resolutions« on: December 28, 2009, 08:17:07 PM »
As we approach 2010, you are probably thinking about how you would like to be different. Perhaps you would like a new romantic relationship, improved career, abundance, travel or other desire. It’s perfectly natural to want to make changes in your life, but many people are frustrated what what they long for doesn’t seem to manifest. The “secret” to creating change in 2010 is using the Law of Attraction with your New Year’s Resolutions.
Your intent is powerful as the Law of Attraction states. A New Year’s Resolution needs to be clear, concise, and something that can be described. Change your mindset that your New Year’s Resolution is now an intention, otherwise known as a desire you are setting into action. This makes it far more effective than a half-hearted wish to quit smoking, go to the gym, or to find that special love relationship in 2010. When you set the intention, you are putting the Universe on alert that this is your desire and it will respond according! Like attracts like. This is one of the most simple statements when it comes to the Law of Attraction, yet is often misunderstood. It can be very frustrating to think that if you want something – like abundance – that you already need to be abundant in order to receive this desired intention and New Year’s Resolution! But what this means in many ways is to act “as if” you had achieved this goal, then what would your behavior be? Many people say, when I find a new love relationship, I’ll redo my home décor, treat myself to manicures, or other special things. The secret is to start treating yourself “as if” you had attained your New Year’s Resolution now and today – watch it manifest before your very eyes. Note: A simple way to do this is before doing something ask yourself “Would a ……. person do this? (insert your desired goal such as love, abundance, new career, etc.) Watch how you change your actions! Your 2010 New Year’s Resolution becomes more powerful with the use of visual tools. Think about using images to motivate yourself to attain your desires. Try cutting out pictures from a magazine or even draw pictures if you are artistically inclined. Look at these each day and visualize yourself having this 2010 New Year’s Resolution in your life actualized. See yourself living in the new home or working at the new job or losing the 20 pounds – whatever the desired intention is use these pictures to motivate yourself even further. We are visually stimulated and seeing your dreams in front of your very eyes daily can only inspire you further. Most importantly, remember how the Law of Attraction works for you. It works for all us whether we consciously recognize it or not. 1. Ask – ask for what you desire with intention 2. Believe – believe it is within your reach 3. Receive – be open to receive this desire 4. Give Thanks – show gratitude for your manifested desire as it unfolds Wishing you a very Happy New Year – may you manifest every intention you desire! 652

Jokes Majaak / WALL- MART GREETER« on: December 27, 2009, 05:12:31 AM »
A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into Wal-Mart with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
The Wal-Mart Greeter said pleasantly, "Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have the re. Are they twins?" The woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "Hell no they ain’t! The oldest one’s 9 and the other one’s 7. Why the hell would you think they’re twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?" "I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma’am," replied the greeter. "I just couldn’t believe someone would sleep with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal- Mart." 657
Jokes Majaak / ROSE AND DOROTHY« on: December 27, 2009, 05:04:46 AM »Two 90-year-old women, Rose and Dorothy, had been friends all of their lives. When it was clear that Rose was dying, Dorothy visited her every day. One day Dorothy said, "Rose, we both loved playing women’s softball all our lives, and we played all through High School. Please do me one favor: when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there’s women’s soft-ball there." Rose looked up at Dorothy from her deathbed and said, "Dorothy, you’ve been my best friend for many years.. If it’s at all possible, I’ll do this favor for you." Shortly after that, Rose passed on. At midnight a few nights later, Dorothy was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to her, "Dorothy, Dorothy." "Who is it?" asked Dorothy, sitting up suddenly. "Who is it?" "Dorothy — it’s me, Rose." "You’re not Rose. Rose just died." "I’m telling you, it’s me, Rose," insisted the voice. "Rose! Where are you?" "In Heaven," replied Rose. "I have some really good news and a little bad news." "Tell me the good news first," said Dorothy. "The good news," Rose said, "is that there’s Softball in Heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we’re all young again. Better still, it’s always springtime, and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired." "That’s fantastic," said Dorothy. "It’s beyond my wildest dreams! So what’s the bad news?" "You’re pitching Tuesday." 658
Jokes Majaak / THE COAT HANGER« on: December 27, 2009, 05:03:35 AM »A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her small daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication. She got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys in the car. She didn’t know What to do, so she called home and told the baby sitter what had happened. The baby sitter told her that the fever was getting worse. She said, ‘You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door.’ The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been left on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time had locked their keys in their car . She looked at the hanger and said, ‘I don’t know how to use this.’ She bowed her head and asked God to send her help. Within five minutes a beat up old motorcycle pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head. The woman thought, ‘This is what You sent to help me?’ But, she was desperate, so she was also very thankful. The man got off of his cycle and asked if he could help. She said, ‘Yes,my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car? He said, ‘Sure.’ He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, ‘Thank You So Much! You are a very nice man.’ The man replied, ‘Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for about an hour.’ The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud, ‘Oh, thank you God! You even sent me a Professional!’ 659
Jokes Majaak / SUMBICH« on: December 27, 2009, 04:54:15 AM »A filthy rich North Carolina man decided that he wanted to throw a party and invited all of his buddies and neighbors. He also invited Leroy, the only redneck in the neighborhood. He held the party around the pool in the backyard of his mansion. Leroy was having a good time drinking, dancing, eating shrimp, oysters and BBQ and flirting with all the women. At the height of the party, the host said, "I have a 10 ft man-eating gator in my pool and I’ll give a million dollars to anyone who has the nerve to jump in." The words were barely out of his mouth when there was a loud splash and everyone turned around and saw Leroy in the pool! Leroy was fighting the gator and kicking its ass! Leroy was jabbing the gator in the eyes with his thumbs, throwing punches, head butts and choke holds, biting the gator on the tail and flipping the gator through the air like some kind of Judo Instructor. The water was churning and splashing everywhere. Both Leroy and the gator were screaming and raising hell. Finally Leroy strangled the gator and let it float to the top like a dime store goldfish. Leroy then slowly climbed out of the pool. Everybody was just staring at him in disbelief. Finally the host says, "Well, Leroy, I reckon I owe you a million dollars." "No, that’s okay. I don’t want it," said Leroy. The rich man said, "Man, I have to give you something. You won the bet. How about half a million bucks then?" "No thanks, I don’t want it," answered Leroy. The host said, "Come on, I insist on giving you something. That was amazing. How about a new Porsche and a Rolex and some stock options?" Again Leroy said no. Confused, the rich man asked, "Well, Leroy, then what do you want?" Leroy said, "I want the name of the sumbich who pushed me in the pool!" 660
