I recieved this in an email today...I just couldn't think of any more phenominal woman than you guys...so...


Don't break the elastic!

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.

And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting.' Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.

The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such an honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this:

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.?



"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

"I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'

"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.

"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Please send this to five phenomenal women today..

If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another woman's self-esteem.

If you don't...the elastic will break and your underpants will fall down around your ankles! Believe me, I didn't take any chances on MY elastic breaking.... I sent it to a lot of special women I care for.

From one who knows................

She got me on the christmas lights. I have a very bad angry problem with household males that tangle up the garden hose & don't brother to untangle it.

now, K, aren't you glad, you told the whole board? lol! :oops:
I bet you were pulling our leg :wink:

Well i dont care about a bit of detailed infol rofl ; i m just wondering why :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh K

Now you've let the cat out of the bag. Don't tell them all our British secrets. :wink:

Tisha

P.S Of course Patti we put them on when we wear our Sunday best. :D

Tisha...I would think so!!...you do wear patent leather shoes I'm sure with all that finery :lol: :lol: We don't worry in here in Redneck country...we wear flip flops...

well, K and Tisha, don't go to Monkey Valley, undie-less. If I really need to tell you why....pm, me. :lol:

tell us , tell us , tell us here :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing. She has a wonderful outlook on life.

In the UK it's called 'going commando' - guess it's the same thing! :wink:

Wow June - thanks for giving me something to look forward to! Actually may come quicker than you might think - teach me to have babies later in life! :wink: :mrgreen:

And they think we're so straight-laced - if only they knew! :wink: :lol:

Why not? Why not? Tell, tell!!! :mrgreen:

You have to be careful with those shiny, patent leather shoes and no undies - can act like a mirror.... :D

these days if you 'reach out and touch someone' someone will sue you for
assault. and if you try to lighten someone's life, you offend someone else.

you can always pee on the floor and walk away. and here i thought you wet your knickers! :P

apparently that's what ladies in the olden days used to do when they wore those big hoop skirts - stand on the grass for a quiet pee and then casually move away! :-)

Are you joking or serious?

Moi? Joking? Never! :wink: :D

the french did it also. on long carriage rides, they would make a 'necessary stop'.

they'd turn they're backs, squat, do their business, lift their hoops up and out of the way, turn back and pretend nothing happened.

The guys still do - well not the lifting hoops part - sometimes they even wave to you as you drive by! (with their free hand obviously! :shock: :lol: )

are you sure that's their hand?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

No QNC - she's said it before, but I knew what she meant. We call them undies, she calls them knickers - I wrote this before reading the rest of the thread, and I'll bet she's laughing her head off now!

Joanne - so you think it's merely semantics, do you? :lol:

lol you guys are so funny :)

Oh Dear. I hope you make an exception on windy days. :oops: :oops:
