Good Quote I found on Disabilities
"Not only do physically disabled people have experiences which are not available to the able-bodied, they are in a better position to transcend cultural mythologies about the body, because they cannot do things the able-bodied feel they must do in order to be happy, ‘normal,’ and sane….If disabled people were truly heard, an explosion of knowledge of the human body and psyche would take place." - Susan Wendell

If your in the Military ---READ THIS---
I Learned Something NEW to me and important!!
I have a friend on a social network and they informed me that they were going to change a few things for security reasons.. their status to change.. ...
So I made a comment wishing them luck.. and I was further informed that their marriage is fine ..they had been through S.E.R.E. Training and was told that social networks and such they needed to be listed as Single for Security Reasons..
So to Everyone I Know in the Military please look into this and take such action when you are trained to do so!!

Rules of the Wild West!!!
Rules of Utah , Idaho , and the Wild West are as follows:
1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Turn your cap right, your head ain’t crooked.
3. Let’s get this straight: it’s called a “gravel road.” I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you’re gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
4. They are cattle. That’s why they smell to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don’t like it? I-80 goes east and west, I-15 goes north and south. Pick one.
5. So you have a $60,000 car. We’re impressed. We have $250,000 combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
6. Every person in the Wild West waves. It’s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheasants/ducks/doves are comin’ in during the hunts, we WILL shoot it outa your hand. You better hope you don’t have it up to your ear at the time.
8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want sushi and caviar? It’s available at the corner bait shop.
9.. The “Opener” refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
10. We open doors for women. That’s applied to all women, regardless of age.
11.. No, there’s no “vegetarian special” on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the Chef’s Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.
12. When we fill out a table, there ar e three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah…. We don’t care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat… IT AIN’T REAL CHILI!!
13. You bring “Coke” into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring “Mary Jane” into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don’t hit the water hazards – it spooks the fish.
16. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities , Universities, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come home for the holidays.
17. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines than all of you put together, so don’t mess with us. If you do, you’ll get whipped by the best.
18. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain’t music, anyway. We don’t want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!

Self Made People
Do you know anyone who is a self-made man or woman - a self-made person? I think you do.
From time to time, we hear someone describe him- or herself as "self-made." What they usually mean is that they weren't born to wealthy, successful parents, or that they managed to succeed in spite of great odds.
Recently, when I was giving a talk to a group of business people, I asked all the "self-made" folks to stand up. Well, about 25 percent of the audience stood, but, as I told them, every one of them should have been on their feet. You see, in the final analysis, all of us are self-made people. Sure, some of us get off to an easier start, and some of us are fortunate enough to have had parents or others who helped us recognize and use our talents.
But success is not a matter of luck, or talent, or of being gifted. More than anything else, success is a matter of belief and persistence. If you don't believe you can succeed, no amount of talent or money or good parenting will help you. And if you do believe it and refuse to give up no matter how hard the struggle, no obstacle, no setback, no disadvantage will stop you.
George Bernard Shaw said it perfectly: "People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. But the people who get on in this world are those who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them." So take charge of your life by taking accountability for being who you are!

Stuck in a Rut?
"Stuck in a Rut?"
Do you sometimes feel like you are stuck in a rut that gets deeper every day? Today I'll tell you about something you can do to help yourself climb up and out.
Are you feeling stuck these days? Do you feel like you've run out of gas and are stranded in a place you don't want to be? If so, one way to get yourself moving again is to create your own challenge.
Now, if you're wondering "Why in the world do I need another challenge, when I haven't been able to solve the problems at hand," it's because creating your own challenge is different. It can give you the opportunity to purposely test yourself in new situations, and then return to the old problems with renewed vitality, vigor, and strength.
By creating a challenge, you set the limits of the test based only on your own estimation of your potential. The risks you'll be taking are self-determined, so the challenges you create are completely different than those that have come to you unbidden. They become touchstones of growth, a proving ground for inner potential, a reminder to you that you are competent, and a great boost to your self-confidence.
Choose a challenge that has meaning to you, not just to those around you, and make it something that you really believe you can pull off. Tackle it with all the energy and resources you have to make sure you succeed. Then, when you do, use that success to catapult you out of your rut and on to bigger things!
