July 18 Interesting!!Read all of this one, it is interesting!! Read down to the very
bottom highlighted in green , you don't want to miss this! VERY INTERESTING - 1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq 2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq , was the cradle of civilization! 3. Noah built the ark in Iraq .
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq . 5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq ! 6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq ! 7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq . 8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq . 9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel . 10. Amos cried out in Iraq ! 11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem .
12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq ! 13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the fiery furnace!) 14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq . 15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq . 16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq . 17. The wise men were from Iraq . 18. Peter preached in Iraq . 19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon , which was a city in Iraq ! And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq ! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon , Land of Shinar , and Mesopotamia . The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers . The name Iraq , means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible. No other nation, except Israel , has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq . And also... This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) Koran ( 9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace. (Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm March 11 Marriage :-)Marriage - Part I Typical macho man married typical good-looking lady and after the wedding, he laid down the following rules: "I'll be home when I want, if I want and at what time I want and I don't expect any hassle from you. I expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you that I won't be home for dinner. I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing and card-playing when I want with my old buddies and don't you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules. Any comments?" His new bride said, "No, that's fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here at seven o'clock every night ......... whether you're here or not." (DAMM SHE'S GOOD!)
************************************ Husband and wife had a bitter quarrel on the day of their 40th wedding anniversary! The husband yells, "When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads: "Here Lies My Wife - Cold As Ever " "Yeah?" she replies. "When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads: "Here Lies My Husband - Stiff At Last" (HE ASKED FOR IT!)
****************************** Husband (a doctor) and his wife are having a fight at the breakfast table. Husband gets up in a rage and says, "And you are no good in bed either," and storms out of the house. After sometime, he realizes he was nasty and decides to make amends and rings her up. She comes to the phone after many rings, and the irritated husband says, "what took you so long to answer the phone?" She says, "I was in bed." "In bed this early, doing what?" "Getting a second opinion!" (YEP, HE HAD THAT ONE COMING, TOO!)
****************************************** A man has six children and is very proud of his achievement. He is so proud of himself, that he starts calling his wife, "Mother of Six" in spite of her objections. One night, they go to a party. The man decides that it's time to go home and wants to find out if his wife is ready to leave as well. He shouts at the top of his voice, "Shall we go home 'Mother of Six?' His wife, irritated by her husband's lack of discretion, shouts right back, "Anytime you're ready, Father of Four." (RIGHT ON, LADY!)
************************************** Marriage (Part V) The Silent Treatment A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests. God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece. February 06 ValentineJust wanted eveyone to know that no one loves you as much as Jesus. So this valentines day share this word of scripture with your family and loved ones. "For God so loVed the world,
That He gAve His onLy BegottEn SoN That whosoever Believeth In Him Should N ot perish, But have E verlasting life." John 3:16
January 04 Definition of MarketingTwo women are talking, one asks the other for the explanation of "Marketing." Well, here is my best shot at it: You're a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say , "I'm fantastic in bed." That's Direct Marketing You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and pointing at you says, "She's fantastic in bed." That's Advertising You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed". That's Telemarketing You see a guy at a party, you straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I," and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed."That's Public Relations You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed." That's Brand Recognition You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend. That's a Sales Rep Your friend can't satisfy him, so he calls you. That's Tech Support You're on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you're passing. So you climb onto the roof of one situated towards the center and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!" That's Junk Mail December 14 Who is guilty?Wife is dreaming in the middle of the nite and suddenly shouts:
"Up! Quick! My husband is back. Man gets up, jumps out of the window, hurts his ass, and then realizes: "Damn, I am the husband!" Who is guilty in this situation? Let me know what u think... hehe December 06 The Moral Is...A woman is driving on a road and a man is driving in the opposite direction, on that same road & when they pass each other, the woman rolls down her window and shouts
- HOrSE
The moral: November 27 What a thing!!I just had to share this.... hehe
 Follow the simple instructions below and lets see if u saw what i saw!
1.) go to www.google.com 2.) type in "failure" without the quotes 3.) press the I'm feeling lucky button (instead of the google search one) 4.) laugh 5.) ask someone to try it Hurry, before the good folks at google "fix" this... November 05 From the mouth of babesTouching words from the mouth of babes. What does Love mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think: "When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8 "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4 "Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5 "Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6 "Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4 "Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7 "Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8 "Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!) "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet) "Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7 "Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6 "During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." Cindy - age 8 "My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6 "Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5 "Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7 "Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4 "I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4 "When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image) Karen - age 7 "Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6 "You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8 And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry" October 20 We are all our brother's keeper

October 11 Did you know?Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weak and most susceptible?
Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves?
Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?
Did you know?
October 01 I can't believe he said that!This statement made my mouth drop the other night!
Bill Bennett: by Armando Wed Sep 28th, 2005 at 18:41:23 PDTUpdate [2005-9-28 21:51:33 by Armando]: From Media Matters via Gilliard:
“But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky”.
The audacity of this man!
Who does he think he is? At this point I really don’t care who I offend, he is out of place! Are black people the people that commit crimes? I don’t care what statistics show, white people commit crimes too. That was an insensitive and uncouth thing to say.
I just wish I could pull his ass from his house, tie him up and put him on a boat to the Caribbean. Then let his ass work the fields; cultivate sugarcane, whip his ass for not working hard enough and then give him, table scraps. HE IS OUT OF ORDER!!! Then wants to justify what he said…. The nerve!!!!
I hope that his statement was an eye opener for us blacks. We need to get our shit together. Help one another, care for one another and love one another.
To all my black brothers and sisters; written especially for you!
A BLACK ME BLACK!!
When you look at me What do you see? I see a black person, in side out and round about Yes! A BLACK ME BLACK! What? You have a problem with that? I have a problem, A problem with segregation and miseducation. Being black is not a sin They always try to keep us down But they can’t win We will forever progress! With Jah by our sides We won’t have to run and hide Guns and bombs can’t stop us now We are one people, we are a black people!

September 24 PunishmentDuring the week, I had to leave my class unattended for a few minutes to go to the office. While I was away, two of my student got into a fight. As soon as they (the fighters) saw me coming, they looked at each other and began to sob and the entire class was silent. They knew that the consequence for fighting was punishment via the strap. Corporal punishment is used in my country. I find it to be a very effective way of lessening unwanted behaviors, and trust me, it works!
To some, corporal punishment is just as a disciplinary method where an adult inflicts pain upon a child for unwanted behaviors. Yes! The use of the strap does cause pain but the fact of the matter is, is that it works!
If you were to do a research about children’s behavior, in cases where the strap was not used, I’m sure that you will see that, these children tend to be more disobedient, disrespectful and aggressive… I’ll just come right out and say it; JUST DOWN RIGHT RUDE!
I am of the opinion that the American school system should change their polices, regarding corporal punishment. Too many of American children are disrespectful and have a don’t care attitude towards their school work and their teachers. Who don’t kill themselves, try to kill others and that includes their teachers. Their behavior is usually polished up by publicly stating that, they were either bullied or ignored at home. RIGHT!! I really don’t see students killing, happen here! Why? Good discipline!
The bible says “Train up a child in they way he should grow” and “Spare not the rod and spoil the child”. Too many times, parents are embarrassed by the rude and wanton behavior of their children, and there is nothing that they can seem to do about it! In which life time could I or any of my siblings ever for even a quick moment, ever disrespect our parents, publicly or other wise? We would have gotten some good strokes on our backsides! And trust me you would never want to do it again. This is what children need strong discipline! Don’t get me wrong, there are other ways to punishing children for unwanted behaviors, but corporal punishment has its place. I’m not saying that parents should beat for every offence but set strict rules with boundaries and if boundaries are passed, use the strap in the correct way… on the Childs backside. Not in the face or any other part if the body, just full on the bum.
In the United States, nine states explicitly bar corporal punishment in their school: New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Hawaii and California. Certain large municipal school districts also prohibit this form of discipline: St. Louis, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Minneapolis. Similar legislation is pending in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Alaska. Can you imagine that?
I know that this is a touchy topic and if I were to continue I would be typing for days. Both parties for and against corporal punishment have strong points but I still FIRMLY believe in corporal punishment. Oh and yes, the fighters were punished; three strokes each. And yes, they did cry. But guess what? They know never to fight in school again!
September 17 Does it bother you?
Well, well, it seems like forever since I’ve made an entry. I have been so busy with work as well as other stuff. Anyway, does being lonely bother any of you guys? To tell you the truth, I prefer to be lonely than to be unhappy! Why be with someone when they are not as interested in you as you are in them? Why try to change the way they feel about you by over exerting yourself in horizontal movements? Why can’t you learn to love the one that loves you? Why is it so hard for you to see he doesn’t care about you? Why try to buy his love? How about letting him miss and desire you? How about loving you first? How about doing everything possible to make yourself happy? How about giving some attention to the one that clearly shows true strong feelings for you? Is that so hard to do? I guess so! Me? When I move on, I move on! It may take a while but I do! And when I do to hell with you! Why? Cause I am in love with ME!!! And only Me and make ME happy!
September 12 Let me know what you think
The excerpt below was taken from the CNN web site. ref: http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/12/katrina.race.poll/index.html
(CNN) -- White and black Americans view Hurricane Katrina's aftermath in starkly different ways, with more blacks viewing race a factor in problems with the federal response, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday.
The poll found that six in 10 blacks interviewed said the federal government was slow in rescuing those stranded in New Orleans after Katrina because many of the people in the Louisiana city were black. But only about one in eight white respondents shared that view. The numbers were similar on whether the rescues were slower because the victims were poor, with 63 percent of blacks blaming poverty and 21 percent of whites doing so. The poll, based on interviews with 848 whites and 262 blacks September 8-11, had a margin of error of plus or minus 6 percentage points. In a separate survey on Katrina reaction that was not broken down by race, a majority of those interviewed said they disapproved of President Bush's handling of the disaster. Before the release of the polls, Bush denied allegations that the response to Katrina was slower because the thousands of people stuck in New Orleans were mostly poor and black. "The storm didn't discriminate, and neither will we in the recovery effort," said Bush, who toured the streets of New Orleans on Monday for the first time since the storm hit August 29.
So people, tell me what you think. Do you think that George Bush Cares about back people? I am not racist, just found the topic interesting and would love to hear your views. Make them clean views please.
September 06 My New Class :-)My new students are something else
 August 28 Back to work for me
Well, my summer vacation has come to an end. Two months few by as it were to weeks. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing my old students and meeting my new little ones. Nothing in the world feels better than when children show you love and affection. You just feel very warm inside. People that love children can testify to that! I can vividly remember on Friday morning, I was feeling a bit under the weather when on of my students came to my desk and asked me what’s wrong. I tried to tough it out, and told her that I was ok. She didn’t buy it at all and decided to sing me a song. She had the most beautiful voice, and the song she sang was very calming. I can never forget that! I am very much looking forward to going back to work so that I that I can assist in the molding of the young minds.
The SistersJust thought i'd pay some respect to the sisters. There are so many differnt things that we sisters go through and we still don't get any credit. So nuff respect to the sisters!!
August 26 I tell you!!!My goodness! This is hilarious! Work out the math problem and tell me if you get the same answer. I did!
August 16 Let the children lead
“Let the children lead”, and the children did just that at the Queen’s Baton Relay in Antigua and Barbuda. Although I was excited to see my mom carrying the Baton the young ones also caught my eyes. I have decided to feature some of the children who took part in the relay in this blog entry.
My little friend T-Sa Pryce proudly holding the Baton
Some children giving the Baton a ride in the school bus through the village of Old Road.
