New Regulations in the UTAH Division of Motor Vehicle's 2008 Handbook:
1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident UTAH Driver
avoids using them.
2. Under no circumstance should you maintain a safe distance between
you and the car in front of you, because the space will be filled in by
somebody else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.
3. The faster you drive through a red light, the less chance you have
of getting hit.
4. WARNING! Never come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one
expects it and it will result in your being rear-ended.
5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork.
Especially with California, Nevada or Arizona plates. With no insurance,
the other operator probably has nothing to lose.
6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that
your ABS kicks in, giving a vigorous, foot massage as the brake pedal
violently pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to
strengthen your leg muscles.
7. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good
way to prepare other drivers entering the highway.
8. Speed limits are arbitrary figures; given only as a suggestion and
are not enforceable in UTAH during rush hour.
9 Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or
move over doesn't mean that a California driver flashing his high beams
behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.
10 Always brake and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone
changing a tire. This is seen as a sign of respect for the victim
11. Learn to swerve abruptly without signaling. UTAH is the home of
high-speed slalom-driving thanks to the Department of Transportation,
which puts construction in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and
keep them alert.
12. It is tradition in UTAH to honk your horn at cars in front of you
that do not move three milliseconds after the light turns green.
13. To avoid injury in the event of a collision or rollover, it is
important to exit your vehicle thru the windshield right away. Wearing
your seat belt will only impede your hi-velocity escape from danger.
14. Remember that the goal of every UTAH driver is to get ahead of the
pack by whatever means necessary.
15. In UTAH, 'flipping the bird' is considered a polite salute. This
gesture should always be returned.
Thank You, The UTAH Motor Vehicles Commission

CALMNESS IN OUR LIVES

I am passing this on to you because itdefinitely works, and we couldall use a little more calmness in our lives. By following this simple adviceheard on the Dr. Phil show, you too canfind inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed, 'The way toachieve inner peace is to finish allthe things you have started and havenever finished.' So, I looked around my house to see allthe things I started and hadn'tfinished, and before leaving the housethis morning....... I finished off a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle ofBailey's Irish Cream, a package of Oreos, the remainder of an old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates.You have no idea how freaking good I feel right now...

The Facecloth

There is not a woman alivetoday who won't crack up over this!I was due for a cancer smear with the doctor later in the week. Early onemorning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I hadbeen rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am .. I had only just packedeveryone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45 am. Thetrip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time tospare.As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene whenmaking such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make thefull effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pyjamas, wet the facecloththat was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in thatarea to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the facecloth in theclothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in.Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, lookedover at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris orsome other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when thedoctor said, 'My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?'I didn't respond.After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The restof the day was normal - some shopping, cleaning, & cooking.After school when my 7 year old daughter was playing, she called out fromthe bathroom, 'Mummy, where's my facecloth?'I told her to get another one from the cupboard.She replied, 'No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter saved inside it.

Anne of Green Gables - 1985 Movie Quotes

My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes. That's a sentence I read once and I say it over to comfort myself in these times that try the soul.

This is the most tragical thing that has ever happened to me.

Make a little room in your plans for romance again, Anne-Girl. All the degrees and scholarships in the world can't make up for the lack of it.

1) Tell me what you know about yourself. 2) Well, it isn't really worth telling, Mrs. Cadbury...but if you let me tell you what I imagine about myself you'll find it a lot more interesting.

I thought nothing could be as bad as red hair. Green is ten times worse.

Twenty pounds of brown sugar.

1) If I were the boy you sent for, I would be able to help you and spare you in any way I could. 2) Why, I'd rather have you then a thousand boys, Anne. Just remember that. Well, now, it wasn't a boy who took the Avery scholarship, was it? It was a girl-my girl-my girl that I'm proud of.

1) Oh, Anne, are you killed? Just look at me and tell me if you are killed. 2) No, Diana, I'm not killed, but I think I'm rendered unconcious,

1) What is your name? 2) Would you please call me Cordelia? 1) Call you Cordelia? Is that your name? No, but please call me that. Cordelia is such a romantic name. 1) If your name isn't Cordelia, then what is your name? 2) Anne Shirley. But please call me Cordelia. Anne is such an unromantic name.

1) Tell me what you know about yourself. 2) Well, it isn't really worth telling, Miss Cuthbert, but if you let me tell you what I imagine about myself, it would be much more interesting.

True friends are always together in spirit. --Anne of Green Gables

Anne-The only real friend I ever really had was Katie Maurice and she was only my window friend.

Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it.

The tears don't hurt like the ache does.

Mrs. Lynde, I'm extremely sorry I behaved so terribly. I disgraced my good friends who've let me stay at Green Gables on trial, even though I'm not a boy. I am wicked and ungrateful and I deserve to be cast out forever. What you said was true, I am skinny and ugly and my hair is red. What I said about you was true too, only I shouldn't have said it. Please, Mrs. Lynde, forgive me. You wouldn't be so cruel as to inflict a life long sorrow on a poor orphan. Please, please forgive me.

You don't want me. You don't want me because I'm not a boy. No body ever did want me. I knew this was all too good to be true.

I took the brooch because I was too overcome with irresistible temptation. I was imagining I was Lady Cordelia Fitzgerald, and I just had to wear the brooch over the footbridge of the Lake of Shining Waters, with the wind blowing my auburn hair over to Camelot. I thought I could put it back before you came home, but as I leaned over to look at my reflection in the lake, it slipped from my fingers and sank beneath the rippling waves. That's the best I can do at confessing. Now may I go to the picnic?

GOOD FRIENDS ARE GOOD MEDICINE
Our news is constantly filled with the reality of death and dying. And each of us, if we live long enough, experiences the loss of persons we loved.Children ages eight through ten were asked what they thought about death, and these are some of their answers:"When you die, God takes care of you like your mother did when you were alive - only God doesn't yell at you all the time." (Beth, 9)"When you die, they bury you in the ground and your soul goes to heaven, but your body can't go to heaven because it's too crowded up there already." (Jimmy, 8)"Only the good people go to heaven. The other people go where it's hot all the time like in Florida." (Judy, 9)"Maybe I'll die someday, but I hope I don't die on my birthday because it's no fun to celebrate your birthday if you're dead." (Jon, 9)"I'm not afraid to die because I'm a Boy Scout." (Kevin, 10)"Doctors help you so you won't die until you pay their bills." (Stephanie, 9)I've observed that the loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things we humans can face. And one of our greatest needs as we experience such a loss is for simple, human comfort. I've known friends of sick and dying people to sit by a bedside or in a hospital room for hours, even days, at a time. I've sometimes heard them offer words of prayer. I've seen food in homes of people who are dying overflow from kitchen to dining room - food brought by comforting friends from church and concerned neighbors. And I've observed friends to just listen for as long as it takes. Caring friends are needed medicine in such times.When U.S. Congressman Sam Rayburn (1882-1961) discovered that he was ill, he announced to the House of Representatives he was going back home to Bonham, Texas for medical tests. Some wondered why he did not stay in Washington D. C. where there were excellent medical facilities -- probably some of the best in the world. His answer was a beautiful tribute to friendship: "Bonham is a place where people know it when you're sick, and where they care when you die."No one wants to go through difficult times alone. So Rayburn traded the best of medical technology for the closeness of loving friends. He knew that good friends are good medicine. Sometimes the best medicine there is.--

May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be confident knowing you are a child of God.

Let this presence settle into your bones and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.

- Thomas Browne

"Love is the crowning grace of humanity."

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise."
- George Washington Carver

The less you know, the more you believe."
- Bono

Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.

Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.
