I've seen some cars with personalized private number plates that are so unique and I just wondered how did they acquire it. It is really an attention-getter and I wish my hubby can get one like that. I didn't know that there's a website where you can get Private Plates for your cars. This is probably the best value private number plates and personalized car registrations on the internet. You can search millions of cherished car number plates, ageless car registrations, prefix type personalized number plates and current style number plates in this site. The good thing is that they do the transfer paperwork for you. They don't just send you a certificate and leave you to do the work yourself. This is a cool site. I would have to suggest to my hubby to browse this site and get a personalized private plate for our van.

I always thought that military and police uniforms look so elegant. It makes the officers wearing it look dignified. I just stumbled upon a website that sells BDU Pants for those men in service. LA Police Gear is an online store where you can buy BDU Pants at prices you just can not beat. LA Police Gear is the number one source for military pants.

I've been living here in Texas for 4 1/2 years now and I've learned to love this place and the people here. There are lots of things written about Texas and here are some of it.

Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about folks from Texas...

If someone in a Lowe's store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in Texas ;

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Texas ;

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Texas ;

If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of Dallas for the weekend, you may live in Texas ;

If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Texas ;

If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Texas ;

If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Texas ;

If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Texas ;

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody's passing you, you may live in Texas ;

If you find 60 degrees "a little chilly," you may live in Texas ;

If you actually understand these jokes, and share them with all your Texas friends, you definitely live in Texas .

With all the new technology regarding
fertility recently, a 65-year-old woman was able to
give birth.

When she was discharged from the hospital
and went home, her relatives came to visit.

"May we see the new baby?" one asked.

"Not yet," said the mother. "I'll make
coffee and we can visit for a while first."

Thirty minutes had passed, and another
relative asked, "May we see the new baby now?"

"No, not yet," said the mother.

After another f ew minutes had elapsed, they
asked again, "May we see the baby now?"

"No, not yet," replied the mother.

Growing very impatient, they asked, "Well,
when can we see the baby?"

"WHEN HE CRIES!" she told them.

"WHEN HE CRIES?" they demanded

"Why do we have to wait until he CRIES?

"BECAUSE I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM. O.K.?"
