My sister sent me these this morning and I just had to share-

Some points to ponder

Love is grand; divorce is a hundred grand.
~~~~~~~~
I am in shape. Round is a shape.
~~~~~~~~
Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
~~~~~~~~~
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.
~~~~~~~~~
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
~~~~~~~~
Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
~~~~~~~
Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
~~~~~~
Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly and for the same reason.
~~~~~~~~
An optimist thinks that this is the best possible world. A pessimist fears that this is true.
~~~~~~~~~
There will always be death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year.
~~~~~~~~

Brought to you by a resident of the United States' only 3rd world possession!!

California of course! Home of the rolling black out, clearly defined but as clearly denied caste system and a majority of residents who don't speak a word of English.

Yes, but the Titanic was SO much better looking...

With the exception of the rolling blackouts, you could be talking about South Florida. But here, we have people who can't read/comprehend a ballot, riots in the streets over a minor's residence, and a definite caste system.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

It was quite a shock when I moved from Wellington to Jacksonville.

I went from a subtropical very ethnically broken up community to one that is a southern temperate zone that pretty much seems like southern Georgia. Odd that. What stinks the most is I can't get my hands on good Cuban bread anymore.

Hehe, California is a great example of why sometimes deregulation is not quite as effective as hoped....
