I got this in an email today so I wanted to share it with the world

Choose your partners, one and all, Aspirin, Advil, or Tylenol! Now fling those covers with all you’ve got, One minute cold, the next minute hot, Circle right to the side of the bed, Grab the tissues and Sudafed. Back to the middle and don’t goof off; Hold your stomach and cough, cough, cough. Forget about slippers, dash down the hall, Toss your cookies in the shower stall. Remember others on the brink; Wash your hands; wash the sink. Wipe the doorknob, light switch too, By George, you’ve got the it, you’re doing the Flu! Some like it cold, some like it hot; If you like neither, get the shot.

We’ll try this.  I know some people I know who are on Twitter so here’s where I am.  Reply to this post and let me know what your twitter is and I will follow you also.

We have just had a run of below zero weather this week.  It was 40 below zero in Embarass, MN this morning and it was minus 21 degrees where I am at.  Here’s how we deal with it up here.

Brian

60 above zero:  Floridians turn on the heat. Minnesotans plant gardens.
50 above zero:  Californians shiver uncontrollably. People are
sunbathing in Duluth .
40 above zero:  Import cars won’t start. Minnesotans drive with the
sunroof open.
32 above zero:  Distilled water freezes. The water in Bemidji gets
thicker.
20 above zero:  New Mexicans don long johns, parkas and wool hats &
mittens. Minnesotans throw on a flannel shirt.
15 above zero:  New York landlords finally turn on the heat. People
in Minnesota have one last cookout before it gets cold.
Zero:  People in Miami all die. Minnesotans close the windows.
10 below zero:  Californians fly away to Mexico . Minnesotans dig
their winter coats out of storage.
25 below zero:  Hollywood disintegrates. Girl Scouts in Minnesota
still selling cookies door to door.
40 below zero:  Washington , D.C. finally runs out of hot air. People
in Minnesota let their dogs sleep indoors.
100 below zero:  Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Minnesotans get
upset because the Mini-Van won’t start.
460 below zero: ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin
scale). People in Minnesota can be heard to say, “Cold ’nuff fer ya?”
500 below zero:  Hell freezes over. Minnesota public schools open 2
hours late.

I just want to wish each and everyone of you a Happy New Year!

As I write this on December 21, 2008, we have just had another 4″ of snow and right now the temp is minus 10 degrees.  I think we will have a white Christmas in Minnesota.  I would like to quote John Lennon’s song, Happy Christmas, “A very merry Christmas, and a happy New Year.  Let’s hope it’s a good one, without any fear.”

My best to each and every one of you.

I got this from a friend of mine named Heidi, it gives you something to think about.

15 Things you probably never knew or thought about

1)      At least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.

2)      At least 15 people love you in some way.

3)      The only reason anyone would hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4)      A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you.

5)      Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6)      You mean the world to someone.

7)      If not for you, someone may not be living.

      You are special and unique.

9)      Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.

10)  When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

11)  When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look.  You most likely turned your back on the world.

12)  When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won’t.  But if you believe in yourself……………………

13)  Always remember the compliments you receive.  Forget about the rude remarks.

14)  Always tell someone how you feel about him or her.  You will feel much better when they know.

15)  If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know they are great.

They say it takes a minute to find someone special, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them but an entire lifetime to forget them.

Take the time to live and love!
