Email Forwards Fun!

I have received many email forwards, then I have forwarded them to people on "my list". I love these touching, warm, funny emails. I started saving them on my computer, so I would never lose them. I decided to create a blog to hold all these email forwards, so others can enjoy them and so I can easily refer to them when I want. I hope people who love email forwards as much as I do, or like reading funny and inspirational readings will find this site and share it with others.

The Positive Side of Life

THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE:
Living on Earth is expensive,
but it does include a free trip
around the sun every year.

How long a minute is

depends on what side of the

bathroom door you're on.

Birthdays are good for you;
the more you have, the longer you live.

Happiness comes

through doors you
didn't even know you left open.

Ever notice that the

people who are late
are often much jollier
than the people who have to wait for them?

Most of us go to our grave
with our music still inside of us.

If Wal-Mart is lowering

prices every day,
how come nothing is free yet?

You may be only one person

in the world,
but you may also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are

too much fun
to only make once.

Don't cry because it's over;
smile because it happened.

We could learn a
lot from crayons:
some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names,
and all are different colors....but
they all exist very nicely in the same box.

A truly happy person
is one who
can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Have an awesome day, and
know that someone
who thinks you're great
has thought about you today!..

"And that person was me.".....

National Girlfriends Week 2011

National Girlfriend and Sister's Week

I am only as strong as the coffee I drink,
the hairspray I use, and the friends I have.
To the cool women who have touched my life.

Here's to you!

National Girlfriends Day
Be Happy!
It is good to be a woman:

1. We got off the Titanic first.

2. We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.

3. Taxis stop for us.

4. We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.

5. No fashion faux pas we make could ever rival the Speedo.

6. We don 't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.

7. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.

8. We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear end.

9. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.

10. We have the ability to dress ourselves.

11. We can talk to the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.

12. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we are aware that we will look like an idiot.

13. We will never regret piercing our ears.

14. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.

15. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren't listening anyway.

Space to Earth Photos - Douglas H. Wheelock

Purportedly, this information was provided by this astronaut whose photo is shown at the end.

NASA astronaut Douglas H. Wheelock who is currently (I received this email Aug. 2011) aboard the International Space Station shares pictures of the Earth he snaps with the world through Twitter - known to his nearly 68,000 (a lot more now!!) Twitter follow as Astro Wheels.
Wheelock has been posting impressive photos of the Earth and some of his thoughts ever since he moved into the space station in June, five months after it got Internet access.

Greek islands on a clear night during our flight over Europe. Athens shine brightly along the Mediterranean Sea.

Above the center of the Atlantic Ocean, before another stunning sunset.
Downstairs in the setting sun visible spiral Hurricane Earl.

A little farther east, we saw a sacred monolith Uluru, better known as Ayers Rock.

I have never had the opportunity to visit Australia,

but someday I hope that I will stand by this miracle of nature.

Morning over the Andes in South America. I do not know for sure the title of this peak,

but was simply amazed by her magic, stretching to the sun and wind tops.

Over the Sahara desert, approaching the ancient lands and thousand-year history. River Nile flows through Egypt by the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo. Further, the Red Sea, Sinai Peninsula, Dead Sea, Jordan River, as well as the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea and Greece on the horizon.

Night view of the River Nile, stretching like a snake through Egypt to the Mediterranean,

and Cairo, located in the Delta. Far away in this picture, one can see the Mediterranean Sea.

Our unmanned 'Progress 39P' approaches the ISS for refuelling.

It is full of food, fuel, spare parts and all necessities for our station.

Inside was a real gift - fresh fruit and vegetables.

What a miracle after three months of food from a tube!

I wanted to share with you this view from the Dome.

We said goodbye to the members of our group Sasha,

Misha and Tracy this weekend, and they returned safely back to Earth.

In this photo, Tracy quietly dreams of returning home.

Module Union 23C Olympus docked with the ISS .

When our work ends here, we go back home to Earth.

We fly over the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus.

The rising sun is reflected from the Caspian Sea.

The flash of color, movement and life on the canvas of our amazing world.

This is part of the Great Barrier Reef off the east coast of Australia,

photographed through the lens of 1200 mm.

All the beauty of Italy, a clear summer night.

You can see many beautiful islands that adorn the coast -

Capri, Sicily and Malta. Naples and Mount Vesuvius are allocated along the coast.

'Mystery Island' ...located in the Indian Ocean close to Madagascar. Interesting features on the island and the unusual shape should be enough to help you discover this beautiful place.

At the southern end of South America lies the pearl of Patagonia.

The amazing beauty of rugged mountains, massive glaciers,

fjords and seas combined in perfect harmony.

"Dome" on the side of nadir station gives a panoramic view of our beautiful planet.

Fedor made the picture from the window of the Russian docking compartment.

In this photo I'm sitting in the dome, preparing the camera for our evening flight over Hurricane Earl.

Florida and southeastern U.S. in the evening.

A clear autumn evening, the moonlight over the water and sky, dotted with millions of stars.

Clear starry night over the eastern Mediterranean. The ancient land with a thousand years of history stretching from Athens to Cairo. Historical land of fabulous and alluring island ... Athens - Crete - Rhodes - Izmir - Ankara - Cyprus - Damascus - Beirut - Haifa - Amman - Tel Aviv - Jerusalem - Cairo - all of them turned into tiny lights in this cool November night.

In this time of year you can enjoy the beauty of the polar mesospheric clouds.

With our high-angle illumination, we were able to capture a thin layer of noctilucent clouds at sunset.

Northern lights in the distance in one of the finest nights over Europe.

The photo clearly shows the Strait of Dover.

Paris is dazzling with the city lights.

A little fog over the western part of England, particularly over London.

The moon is breathtaking

Of all the places of our beautiful planet few can rival the beauty and richness of colors in the Bahamas. In this photo, our ship is seen against the backdrop of the Bahamas.

At a speed of 28,163 kilometers per hour (8 kilometers per second), we rotate the Earth's orbit, making one revolution every 90 minutes, and watch sunsets and sunrises every 45 minutes. So half of our journey is in darkness. For the work we use lights on our helmets.
