No Wonder KFC Is So Popular In China

Posted in General Interest on March 30, 2012 by RickNews

As we know, China gets all the sexiest astronauts, due to a stringent selection process. Now comes word from a city in the world’s largest Communist nation of a delicacy called, “Virgin Boy Eggs.”

The recipe calls for soaking eggs in the piss of boys under ten years of age and then–sorry, I just gagged.

You’ll have to visit this link for more details.

"Smells egg-traordinarily disgusting."

By the way: guess the city’s name… You got it: Dongyang. 

China Gets All The Hot Astronauts

Posted in General Interest on March 28, 2012 by RickNews

What with over a billion and a half people, the government of China can be picky about who gets to ride a rocket ship into space.

For the fairer sex, that means no decaying teeth, Cesarean scars, or body odor.

 

Space: hotties only, please.

So far, two lucky lasses have been selected…

Taking Care Of Business In Afghanistan

Posted in General Interest on March 27, 2012 by RickNews

While you’re complaining about gasoline prices to feed your SUV and which presidential candidate loves the unborn the most, real American men and women are in “the shit” over in Afghanistan.

Direct from “in-country” comes this high-def video of a real, honest-to-goodness firefight. It ain’t what Hollywood spoon-feeds ya and it ain’t Modern Warfare 3.

It’s much, much better than that.

Enjoy some USA TCB in AFG…

Listen Up, Lazy Americans!

Posted in General Interest on March 26, 2012 by RickNews

It’s no wonder that the Japanese build the best cars, TVs, and personal care devices–they’re an innovate people with an eye on detail.

They’re also bat-shit crazy about getting to work on time, as evidenced by the video below, which was featured on the hit TV show, Time Is Money.

Droppin’ Loads

Posted in General Interest on March 23, 2012 by RickNews

The Department of Defense has thousands of troops located in remote parts of Afghanistan. There are few roads around, which makes supply delivery by truck nearly impossible. Also, there are enemy combatants trying to destroy everything with an American flag on it. How does the DOD get stuff to those who need it? By using people with “the right stuff,” as seen in this video.

This Vietnam-era “Caribou” cargo plane flies very low and, when it’s time to drop the cargo out of the craft, the plane pitches upward. As soon as the load bay is empty, the airplane then sharply descends. “Big cojones,” as one of the eyewitnesses in the video states.

Crazy Female Facebook Friends, Part Five

Posted in General Interest on March 22, 2012 by RickNews

The posts below are from a “Facebook friend” of mine, whom I’ve never met.

These posts were made between March 10th and March 19th, 2012.

From what I can deduce, she’s 35 years-old, Jewish, from Philadelphia, and lives nearby in Palm Beach County. She doesn’t have kids, but she does have a dog.

My FAVORITE part about her posts are the capitalized words. You see, crazy people do THIS in their writing because they require MORE attention than the REST of us. 

Oh yeah, she’s into Kabbalah and “mysticism.” ‘Nuff said.

(Her previous posts can be found hereherehere and here.)

 

Oldies, goodies, and reflections…. I am choosing to hold on to only the good thoughts..:0

Sometimes you just have to JUMP!

This came to my mind this AM: Sometimes we take the fall to assist others to grow.. shining light in places that have been left unseen can seem shocking…Yet it helps ALL to see more than ever imagined… Including US… It may be a thankless job at times, yet in the end, situations and people can shift into butterflies when we leave vs their caterpillar (re)presentation when we arrived…We bring awareness:) hopefully someone shines some our way too from time to time:) deep thoughts, or bs. lol, By [initials redacted]… Ciao… for now… SHINE ONE!

i see “not misfortune”… i see “pre” fortune of future opportunities to grow and succeed…. when opting to be aware and to grow… then we show… by being the change… for all to witness… and then we KNOW… y we are here… then it is time to celebrate and cheer. TOGETHER we stand…. together or partially we may fall… yet through it all…. We shall “lastly” stand tall!

it’s a veggie type of morning… yummy… broccoli. salad….potatoes…green drink…and some pot..lol… oh wait, i mean A pot… lol… I could never… just doesn’t jive. enjoy yours though, if u wish

Christian Carter is really cool and talks about relationships with such wisdom in my opinion…. Has anyone checked him out?

SUPPORT is MMM MMMM GOOD! xoxox. thanks all…

Wouldn’t it be funny if after we go on our journey(s), we end up back in the same or a similar place that we started from, bc what we had is what we needed all along? Just asking?

Peace amidst the chaos.. Always an option.. You choose… Xo

Surprises and good fortune SHOW UP…

Today, after almost a year, I recognized that evil could just simply be evil… hmm. I am growing up quicker than I thought. lol  a yr ago I didn’t even give it a thought…. I sheltered myself and kept away from it except for a fleeting moment or two… I had no tools to deal with it… like just walking away… now I know… It was a good lesson though… really good that will last me a lifetime….

so do you believe that there really is “NO SELF”? lmk… or that there is and needs to be FULL SELF? lots of people around seem to have differing opinions…

OMG.. I played hard to day AND I worked hard today too. It was all FUN… now sleepy time…

I see like different from most bc I have seen and lived through different types of experiences…. I cannot keep apologizing for the lack of acceptance around me… The part that I love the most is that I really do love the heart I love with, the brain I think with, and the legs I walk with…. Now to only attract a few more “helpful”, understanding, intelligent, POWERFUL, successful, folks to team up with….. NOW this IS MY DREAM COME TRUE……:) now someone will write, that I if I have unaccepting people around me that I must not be accepting myself….I beat someone to the punch…what if it’s timing, the lack of really putting myself out there, and a bit of residual STUCKNESS… then what? lol

Ok.. to all my friends…. I am having a lovely day and I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL!!!!

More peace…. I’m a lucky girl… Even though I have hard times too, in the end there’s always U!;)

We often “know better” and yet we opt for the lesson regardless… isn’t that funny…. you gotta pay to play… at least “pay something”.. lmao

Morning Lesson: It seems easier for me to learn lessons from people who communicate in a calm way vs those who scream and throw things…. although, I GET that all stems from a similar emotional place, yet the nervous system patterns and strategies are quite different… Expressing our feelings from a calmer, less destructive place, can usually be quite more effective and less traumatic to the sender’s and the receiver’s body…. food for thought

Later morning lesson: When we stand our position of neutrality, it allows others to express their stuff… sometimes loud, sometimes, soft, sometimes hardly noticeable….. buying into other’s dysfunctionality is not helpful for us or for them…. just remember this… angry people are most likely looking to enroll u in their anger…. show them the way and stay calm…. sometimes it makes them more angry, but when they calm down, they will see themselves more clearly, (hopefully) versus responding to your words that were said in response to their dysfunctional behavior pattern…. ( just an ah-ha) please feel free to share… xo

who knows how to put in a starter??/ lol

Friends and angels POP up… when U FINALLY JUST ASK! simple… why I have always complicated ” simply asking” is beyond me…. oh wait, it was never available… and no one ever knew how to show up back then. Thank goodness, NOW IS NOW!

It takes POWERFUL people to recognize POWERFUL people….and powerful people still have things that they know NOTHING about…. so please treat them kindly … even though it doesn’t seem like they need support or love or anything… ( an insider’s perspective). These people will really appreciate your assistance:) more than u know.

I had the most rewarding experience babysitting a beautiful 2 yr old yesterday…. so much so, that I want to work as a sitter for a bit….. If anyone needs a sweet, fun, happy, insightful, sitter, feel free to inbox me…. Happy kids preferred… may work with the more challenging ones if the situation arise:)

I need a troop of kids.. this was real fun for all…

It’s the yr of overcoming and breaking through OUR FEARS.. Look beneath… a breakdown of fear’s definition .. as an acronym…. interesting….always wished for a few partners in growth.. going along the journey by myself all of these years started to become a bit mundane…

I am walking away from the computer… don’t get worried that i may have fallen into the toilet, or something… ok…. just taking a break..

Freedom equals writing even when u do not hit the send button…. it gets out… even if it is JUST FOR U… which is what it’s all about anyway…. right?:)

…Or, You Could Buy A Real House

Posted in General Interest on March 19, 2012 by RickNews

The house that, uh, this guy built.

Legendary New York retailer Hammacher Schlemmer–purveyors of the unique and uniquely expensive since the Civil War–are offering this model of Yankee Stadium for a mere $115,000.00!

Handbuilt by the dude you see above, this model is a painstaking rendition of “the house that Ruth built,” circa 1961. Read the rest here, and let us know when you take delivery.

Dyke Fight

It’s not only “breeders” that get into fistfights.

Even lesbians will throw-down on one another, proving they’re just like the rest of us: human.

Crazy Female Facebook Friends, Part Four

The posts below are from a “Facebook friend” of mine, whom I’ve never met.

These posts were made between February 29th and March 9th, 2012.

From what I can deduce, she’s 35 years-old, Jewish, from Philadelphia, and lives nearby in Palm Beach County. She doesn’t have kids, but she does have a dog.

and after i birth a little boy, I may have a little girl…. in case I do not, I will post this one for all who do have one right NOW:) enjoy….I want a little girl after I figure out the boy stuff… (I wanted a little girl first… but I guess I have [my dog] for that position) lol

somebody please tell me something uplifting and cheer-filled… or at least something that will make me pee in my pants

it is what it is….

thank you… i believe.. i do… some days are tougher than others… but i still believe

It’s so nice outside and yet I am working so hard on the inside…. breathing…. Being an adult can be a pain in the tushie sometimes…. don’t cha think? lol

Confession of the morning….. So I moved down to SoFla approx 12 years ago…. Since living or being on vacation here, I have met many interesting people who have added color to my life’s canvas…. From Eastern Shores, Miami, to South Beach, to the Dominican Republic, to Aventura, then Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Green Acres, to Boynton Beach….. I can honestly say I have taken quite the ride… Now that I am waiting to see what shows up for me, I am unsure as to if this is a proper approach….I was born “to take what you want”, then I “surrendered everything that I wanted” and now I am just plain HERE…. What is missing and what is next is the ultimate question for me… what is next!?!

A man once wrote this to me: “[name redacted], JUST STAY TRUE TO YOU…. and never allow these guys to abuse your feelings or emotions.. You set the standard… and if any guy truly wants you, he’ll set a higher standard for both of you and he will cherish you more than anything else in the world…. I wish I had the chance to do so… But have maximum love for u and to see you happy”… this man is now in a loving relationship and attracted that which he wrote to me…. a very old friend from the back in the day… who blesses my life whenever I reach out….. thank you so much D.L.M….. you have affected my live in such a profound way….. this one is for u…. Cheers!

There is nothing quite like catching up with old friends who have your best interests at heart and of mind…

It was a BIG Day…. I love everyone in my life… I cannot be small anymore.. I speak up, I speak my mind… I share what I see… If you don’t want to hear it, simply TELL ME!…… respect for all and for all a good night..

I am a REAL person. I FEEL, I GET ANGRY, I GET SAD, I GET GLAD, I EAT MEAT, I DRINK WATER, I LOVE MYSELF, I HELP STRANGERS, I JUDGE, then I LOOK AT Y, I COMMIT, I BREAK MY WORd sometimes, I RECOMMIT, I LEARN TO BE BETTER, I LOVE MORE, I CRY LIKE A BABY, FREELY, then I LAUGH, I FART, I DANCE, I SING, and I NEED MY FRIENDS and FAMILY, they are sometimes the same… sometimes NOT…. BUT I AM REAL!!!!!!! I apologize but NOT FOR BEING REAL! I FEEL… U?

the Universe……. keeps…….sending me gifts….

Long, interesting day… I love to show up, assist, and play… That’s the only way for me to be…. to work and make money suc cess ful ly… hire me.. and u will see.. what happiness is meant to be…

What are we going to create today?

I used to be such a beachbum…

Newest Lesson….. People ask me questions about who and what I am all the time… sometimes I answer and then I say to myself, “Why the heck am I defining myself bc tomorrow I could change my perspective… and then everyone will be confused….?” so here I go…. ” I am ME… [name redacted]… If I love you, or when I love you, U r golden…. If I don’t know you, then you are just someone I do not know…. If I do not like you… U r there to teach me some kind of lesson that will serve me in the future… good, bad, or indifferent….”

Ok. This may be a bit racey [referring to a photo she took of herself, topless, but covering her lady bits].. In honor of someone who would want me to be the most authentic me I could be bc he never got the chance… I am expressing myself in a tasteful way, yet getting my point across.. This is me.. Of I offend you, what can I say? Sorry you don’t resonnate, you can choose to change the channel!!! Mark my words… I will be the change.. And I’ll do it my way! Xo.. Thanks dad, for the opportunity to travel around And to figure out who I really am without others putting their stuff on me.. You keep yours, I’ll tend to mine! Blessings! ( oh, thanks for the hot bod and my magnificent mind;)…lmao.. love you guys and gals. thanks for the support… it’s fun being such a miss and match kind of gal… i love being me.. just need to find others who are like minded… it helps me to breathe better at night… believe it or not.. xoxox. blessings to all and to all ” go topless’.

We never know who will fill our chairs of life until they present themselves… If they do not suit us, there is a blue recepticle to the left and we always have the option to move them along or out of our seats.. In the journey of life, take your place… Select your seat…. And be open to the one/ ones who belong to you as they will sit next to you for a long, long time! Happy Purim and Erev Shabbat Shalom! Or simply, Happy Friday!

An Important Message For Dumb Kids

Posted in General Interest on March 8, 2012 by RickNews

Hey, kids! Don’t eat magnets, okay?

While you’re at it, don’t shove anything else into your pie-hole.

Seriously–what is this, a national epidemic?

Does this mean there are so many stupid kids in the country that the government had to produce and distribute a video telling children not to swallow magnets?

Look–if we keep saving the stupid people, the rest of us may find things a bit overcrowded in the future… Just sayin’.
