Why is the wedding ring on the fourth finger?

There is a really good explanation for this..are you ready?..OK! The Chinese see the hand as a representation. The thumb stands for the parents, the pointer finger for the siblings, the third finger for you, the fourth finger as your partner and the pinkie as your children. To understand this you will need to follow the demonstration as I explain it to you.

Put your hands together like you are holding a globe and touch the tips of your fingers together. Take your middling fingers and roll them down where the backs of the fingers are touching and the rest are still tip to tip. The thumbs: you can move them separate them...see your parents are not meant to live with you forever because you are going to grow up and move out on your own. now put them back together.
The pointer fingers: you can move them separate them...see your siblings are not meant to live with you forever because you will go your separate ways and start your own little families. now put them back together.
The pinkies: you can move them separate them..see your children are not meant to live with you forever because they will grow up and move out on their own and start their own families. now put them back together.
The fourth finger: you cannot move them or separate them..because that is your partner your destiny. Hence the ring finger name for it.

I hope you enjoyed that and if you didnt' know that already then you learned something new for the day :) I hope you enjoy telling others about this and being able to show them first hand :)

92 Year Old Woman and Her 29yr Old Grandson Dance the Salsa!

When asked what do you think of when you hear an old woman is dancing with her grandson? Do you think of an elderly woman dancing to slow music in front of the fireplace, doing the hokey pokey in the front yard or doing the funky chicken in the kitchen? That is what I thought of when I asked that question; however my view has changed now. This video is of a 92 year old grandmother dancing the salsa on live tv with her 29 year old grandson. :) Watch this grandma get down and dirty hahahha I sure hope that I can still dance like this when I get old. Although I never danced the salsa and will not it is just not my cup of tea. I am more into cumbia and ranchero :) I hope she inspires you to find a joy in some kind of dancing to do for fun even if it is just around the house when nobody is watching..Dancing keeps the heart going and muscles working. :) Have fun!

old people with Billie Jean

When asked what old people do at dances what do you think of? Do you see old people dancing around bingo tables or old people sitting around in wheelchairs and with canes tapping their toes to some Frank Sinatra. I did until I saw this video!!! These old men did an amazing job and surely made us all scream in our Geriatrics class haha we never expected our prof. to bust this video out in class hahahha. I hope you enjoy and laugh so hard you tear up :) This is how we should spend life..laughing and enjoying every moment!

What old people do for fun!

Now I hope that you aren't a stereotype! :) If so then this video is about to show you that old people do have fun!! When asked what old people do for fun. The answer is usually knitting, cooking, sewing, gardening, tinkering, widdling, telling stories, etc. The answer is never running people off of the road or playing pranks..well here ya go. I hope that this clears some things up for you :) It sure did open my eyes :) hahaha have fun!

Don't mess with old people

Here we learn not to mess with old people. This guy learned his lesson and I hope that it teaches others too. I have to give Kudos to this woman haha she sure is an ox hahah. I started to feel bad for the guy, however in the end he did deserve what he got. hahaha. ---Don't rush in life take it second by second and if anything get out and help people instead of getting irate. Stop and breathe the air a little and laugh while you do it :)

Charlie bit my finger - again !

As many times as I have watched this video I cannot help but laugh and cry. A few months ago I was looking into buying a house through the USDA for low income families. They are wonderful people and nicest I have met so far that work with low income families. Well, my caseworkers name was Charlie and everytime I even thought about calling him or emailing him this video came to mind. One day on my way back from my final exams at school he called to tell me that I had been approved for a loan and he finally asked me why I always laughed when he talked to me. I came out with it and told him how his name made me think of this video and he said he had not seen it. I woke up the next morning with an email from him. He said he laughed so hard that he teared up and that this video made his day; from there on out he would watch this on a bad day. I hope this video makes your day better. It sure did mine :)

Funny things kids say

I was at the pool swimming with friends and my son looked up and said "my mama is fat". Wow I was flabbergasted!! haah  I know that he doesn't know what the word fat means or anything because he is just learning to talk. It surely has made me laugh for days though haha.
