A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for Saint
Peter to greet her, she peeked through the gates.
She saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all around were her parents
and all the other people she had loved and who had died before her.
They saw her and began calling greetings to her "Hello - How are you!
We've been waiting for you! Good to see you."
When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him, "This is such a
wonderful place! How do I get in?" "You have to spell a word," Saint
Peter told her.
"Which word?" the woman asked.
"Love."
The woman correctly spelled "Love" and Saint Peter welcomed her into
Heaven.
About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked her to
watch the Gates of Heaven for him that day.
While the woman was guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived.
"I'm surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you been?"
"Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her.
"I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you
were ill. And then I won the multi-state lottery. I sold the little
house you and I lived in and bought a huge mansion. And my wife and I
traveled all around the world. We were on vacation in Cancun and I
went water skiing today. I fell and hit my head, and here I am. What a
bummer! How do I get in?"
"You have to spell a word," the woman told him.
"Which word?" her husband asked.
"Czechoslovakia."
Moral of the story: Never make a woman angry... There will be Hell to
pay later!

Only In Texas- Bluebonnets
Posted by Lisa at Monday, March 03, 2008
Bluebonnets in snow
The bluebonnet is the state flower in Texas. Actually bluebonnets are wild flowers and you can see them all around Texas during spring time. The shape is like that of a bonnet, thus it was called bluebonnet. The bluebonnet is one of the biggest springtime attractions in Texas. Our State Flower is as familiar a symbol of Texas as the Lone Star, Longhorn cattle, cowboy boots, or oil wells. As the oft-quoted historian Jack Maguire puts it, the "bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry blossom to Japan, the lily to France, the rose to England and the tulip to Holland."
The blooms first start appearing along roadways and in meadows throughout the hill country in March, reaching their peak in April. There are several varieties of bluebonnet in the state but the Lupinus texensis, found all over Central Texas, is the showiest and most attractive species. From late March through April and into May bluebonnets can be seen along highways and country roads and in parks throughout the area. Texas was the first state in America to plant its roadways with flowers and now everyone can enjoy bluebonnets found along thousands of miles of Texas highways

I believe a lot of people have this problem and they are worried they might end up having a bad credit history or much worst go bankrupt. This is a very sad thing to happen to any body's lives. Everybody doesn't want this to happen. My hubby and I doesn't want this to happen to us either. There are things to do to manage our debts and my hubby and I are trying our best to pay our debts every month. We don't spend our money beyond our means. We only buy the things that we need like our groceries, gas, clothings and foods. We set aside money to pay our house and our bills. My hubby make it sure that we pay all our bills on time and not miss any payment on our house. In other words, good financial management is the key to avoid bankruptcy. Now, if you are in debt and you need help to manage your finances, you can get the help of Clear Debt online. An IVA can help you become debt free!

Texas Girl
Posted by Lisa at Friday, February 29, 2008I hope this does not offend anyone.....but its funny....
A girl walks into a bar in Texas , orders a beer and sits down at the
bar where a Mexican and an Iraqi are also drinking beers.
The Mexican drinks his beer and suddenly throws his glass in the air, pulls out his pistol and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, "In Mexico our glasses are so cheap we don't need to drink from the same glass twice."
The Iraqi, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his AK-47 and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, "In Iraq we have so much sand to make glasses that we don't need to drink out of the same glass twice either."
The Texas girl, cool as a cucumber, picks up her beer and drinks it, throws her glass into the air, pulls out her gun, shoots the Mexican and the Iraqi, then catches her glass. She says, "In Texas we have so many illegal Mexicans and Arabs that we don't have to drink with the same ones twice".
