SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!!!
Thanks to Lee
Imagine that you have won the following prize in a contest:
Each morning your bank will deposit $ 86,400.00 in your private account for your use.
However, this prize had rules, just as any game has certain rules.
The first set of rules are:
1. Everything that you don’t spend during the day will be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
3. You may only spend it.
Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with
$ 86,400.00 for that day.
The second set of rules:
1. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, “It’s over, the game is over!”
2. It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.
What will you personally do?
You can buy anything and everything you wanted, right?
Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right?
Even for people you don’t know, because you can’t possibly spend it all on yourself, right?
You will try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?
ACTUALLY, THIS GAME IS REALITY!!
Each of us is in possession of such a “magical” bank.
We just can’t seem to see it.
THE MAGICAL BANK IS TIME!
Each awakening morning we receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life,
and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.
What we haven’t lived up that day is forever lost..
Yesterday is forever gone.
Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time…….
WITHOUT WARNING.
WELL, what will you do with your 86,400 seconds?
Aren’t they worth so much more than the same amount in dollars?
Think about that, and always think of this:
Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.
So take care of yourself, and enjoy life!
Here’s wishing you a wonderfully beautiful day!!!

Astronomers Select Top Ten
Most Amazing Pictures Taken
by Hubble Space Telescope in
Last 16 Years
'...they illustrate that our universe is not only
deeply strange, but also almost impossibly beautiful.'
Michael Hanlon/AH (Nov 25th, 2006)
After correcting an initial problem with the lens,
when the Hubble Space Telescope was first launched
in 1990, the floating astro-observatory began to relay
back to Earth, incredible snap shots of the 'final frontier'
it was perusing.
Recently, astronauts voted on the top photographs
taken by Hubble in its 16-year journey so far.
Remarking in the article from the Daily Mail, reporter
Michael Hanlon says the photos 'illustrate that our
universe is not only deeply strange, but also
almost impossibly beautiful.'
Enjoy!
Hubble Telescope's top ten greatest space photographs.
Awesome!!!
The Ant Nebula, a cloud of dust and gas whose
technical name is Mz3, resembles an ant when
observed using ground-based telescopes.. .
The nebula lies within our galaxy between
3,000 and 6,000 light years from earth
In third place is Nebula NGC 2392, called 'Eskimo'
because it looks like a face surrounded by a furry hood.
The hood is, in fact, a ring of comet-shaped objects
flying away from a dying star.
Eskimo is 5,000 light years from Earth
At 4 is The Cat's Eye Nebula
The Hourglass Nebula, 8,000 light years away,
has a 'pinched-in- the-middle' look because the winds
that shape it are weaker at the center
In sixth place is the Cone Nebula.
The part pictured here is 2.5 light years in length
(the equivalent of 23 million return trips to the Moon).
The Perfect Storm, a small region in the Swan Nebula,
5,500 light years away, described as 'a bubbly ocean
of hydrogen and small amounts of oxygen, sulphur
and other elements'.
Starry Night, so named because it reminded
astronomers of the Van Gogh painting.
It is a halo of light around a star in the Milky Way.
The glowering eyes from 114 million light years away
are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called
NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the distant
Canis Major constellation.
The Trifid Nebula. A 'stellar nursery', 9,000 light years
from here, it is where new stars are being born.
Some new - some old

Best duct tape story ever
Thanks to David H.
During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen
left a cooler and bait in the plane. And a bear smelled it. This is what he did to the plane.
The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic. He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME !
Duct Tape ? Never Leave Home Without It
IF WOMEN CONTROLLED THE WORLD
Thanks to Andy
This woman is walking for breast cancer. She is trying to tell everyone that the cancer industry is a huge profit-making hoax.
The three recommended approaches of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are extremely dangerous.
There are numerous far less costly cures. that are not allowed to be publicised.
