Thought of the day
Someone explained to me yesterday, that the moon, the sun and the earth are the perfect size.If they were any different in size and distance from each other, we wouldn't have total solar or lunar eclipses. That is food for thought!
Have you got a thought of the day?
very true and very good granny thank you for sharing
Hi Granny yes it is amazing and it all goes much, much further.
The moon is the perfect size and distance from the earth to exert gravitational pull that controls the tides. The earth is the perfect distance from the sun to support water and therefore life. Nearer the sun it would be too hot, further away it would be too cold.
For an incredible insight into these things and much, much more watch Brian Cox's amazing series Wonders of the Universe, currently on Sky's Eden channel.
Fascinating !!..... So is it feasible that there could be other planets with their own moons and suns in exactly the right position to enable them to sustain life forms ??
Yes it is perfectly feasible and mathematically it is virtually a certainty.
Our sun is a star with its own solar system, including the earth and other planets orbiting around it.
The latest estimate of the number of stars in the observable universe is approximately 5 times the number of grains of sand on planet earth. These numbers are inconceivable.

my Thought for the day...
Love is like peeing your pants everyone can see it but only you can feel it
my thought for the day...
how deep would oceans be if they didnt have sponges in them?
thought of the day............ the best way to cheer yourself up, is to cheer somebody else up......
nice to see you back granny
A light year is the distance between us and the sun and not a unit of time.
My thought of the day, is what my Dad wrote in my autograph book in 1956 when I was age ten:
'Today is the day we worried about yesterday, and all is well'
A light year is the distance between us and the sun and not a unit of time.
You are right that a light year is the distance that light travels in one year. But it only takes 8 minutes for the light from the Sun to reach us. A light year is 186,000 ( the speed of light in 1 second) x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365= 5,865,696,000,000 miles!
My thought of the day,
Its nice to be important but its more important to be nice
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can do today, if you do it today and like it, you can do it again tomorrow.
My thought for today.....if an orange wasn't orange, would it still be called an orange?

http://science.kqed.org/quest/2008/11/21/stars-and-sand-grains/That's why i enjoy watching Professor Brian Cox's TV programmes. As for UFO's: they exist I'm sure...but they ain't from another world. Something explainable for all of the reported sightings, I feel sure. Many are hoaxes. Just saying.
my thought for the day........
who discovered you can milk a goat, and what was he bloody doing.........
We are only here for a short time, enjoy it.
Einstein likened the existence of man in terms of the universe thus: "like a bird flying through the open window of a house and out through an open window on the other side of the room." That's certainly something to think about.

That can't be true. The statement indicates that most smiles are triggered by another person smiling first. If that's the case its probably 50/50, but, it sounded nice

Don't treat every day like its your last, because that's the worst day you're ever going to get.
Deal with one worry at a time, you can't shed them all at once so don't try.
remember: love is like a fart
It can build up inside you until you finally can't keep it in
It can sneak up on you but everyone around you knows about it soon enough
If you have to try to hard to get it, it's probably sh!t.

Gay marriage is legal in 6 states of America.

Went for a day trip to Southport yesterday. I was always led to believe that Neanderthal Man died millions of years ago.
My thought for the day is that Neanderthal Man is alive and well and living amongst us.

In the 1970s, the Rhode Island Legislature debated enacting a $2 tax on every "act of sexual intercourse" in the state.

I am being honest when I say my thought for the day is that the Olympics is one great yawn and a complete waste of money.
That's at least two of us Paxo ! I'm heading for the hills tomorrow for a fortnight.
Did they ask YOU if they could waste YOUR money on this whole overhyped shindig ?? No - me neither !
Fed up to the back teeth with it !!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
That very unpatriotic of you both, be proud of your country. It might even be contagious.
I'm as patriotic as the next guy. My grouse is not about patriotism or lack of it, it's about the billions of quid that's been spent on the whole sketch. If you believe what the politicians (ting goes the spittoon) say about "an investment" and " lasting legacy" then IMHO you've been taken to the cleaners big time. Nowt personal softshoes I assure you.
Politicians and their big business chums - pass the sick bag !!
Sorry, heading
What about the billions spent on social programs? eg the german girl on here a few weeks who was told the gov't will give you free money.
I know it's off topic, I'll say no more.
With you both, paxvo & pinz. Patriotism has nothing to do with it. Just a huge waste of money, also, it upsets my normal television viewing.

Derinkuyu, Turkey.
The largest of the Cappadocia underground complexes is multi-storey (18 storeys, 85m deep), with fresh flowing water, ventilation shafts and individually separated living quarters or 'apartments', shops, communal rooms, wells, tombs, arsenals and escape routes. It has the potential to house up to 20,000 people. The complex was air conditioned throughout, with 52 air shafts discovered so far, one of which is 55m deep.. some wells were not connected with the surface, presumably in order to protect the dwellers from poisoning during raids.

HOW DID THEY KNOW?
SOMETHING IN THE UNIVERSE THAT IS GREATER AND DEEPER THAN HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.THE ELEPHANT'S JOURNEY TO PAY RESPECT, BUT HOW DID THEY KNOW ?????????
Lawrence Anthony, a legend in South Africa and author of 3 books including the bestseller
The Elephant Whisperer, bravely rescued wildlife and rehabilitated
elephants all over the globe from human atrocities, including the
courageous rescue of Baghdad Zoo animals during US invasion in 2003
.
On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony died.
.
He is remembered and missed by his wife, 2 sons, 2 grandsons & numerous elephants.
Two days after his passing, the wild elephants showed up at his home led by two large matriarchs.
Separate wild herds arrived in droves to say goodbye to their beloved man-friend'.
A total of 31 elephants had patiently walked over 12 miles to get to his
South African House.
Witnessing this spectacle, humans were obviously in awe not only because of the
supreme intelligence and precise timing that these elephants sensed about Lawrence 's
passing, but also because of the profound memory and emotion the beloved animals
evoked in such an organized way:
Walking slowly -for days -
Making their way in a solemn one-by-one queue from their habitat to his house.
Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially touched, knowing that the elephants
had not been to his house prior to that day for well over 3 years!
But yet they knew where they were going.
The elephants obviously wanted to pay their deep respects, honoring their friend
who'd saved their lives - so much respect that they stayed for 2 days 2 nights without eating anything..
Then one morning, they left, making their long journey back home............
Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Its not how you go down in flames, but how you rise from the ashes
thats lovely what you posted granny
Thanks Rocks. Greater things than we can understand!
Were that hard up in are house even the crust on the loaf get eaten now!

You two are doing well! We are on cat food now. Easier to digest than dog food.
Oh dear granny, we can't afford a cat its another mouth to feed,

Christians should not swear on the Bible but affirm that they are telling the truth.

If you are patient in a moment of anger,
you will escape a hundred days of sorrow

Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once
I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation.
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
@Salmon. That is spot on! I'm going to copy that, enlarge and frame it and hang it up somewhere prominent !! It's time to sit back and think DEEPLY about that.
Thanks.

I like these type of related stories.
The Whale - A Beautiful and Thought-Provoking TaleWill and Guy have been sent this report by two of our regular contributors to the site - Maggie Nutt and John Reeves. We are grateful for their additions.
A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands [off the coast of San Francisco, California, USA] and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her. A very dangerous proposition as one slap of the tail could kill a prospective rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
The man who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

Definitely worth a thought!
Inside the mind of a psychopath
Lying is like breathing to the psychopath. When caught in a lie and challenged, they make up new lies, and don't care if they're found out. As Hare states, "Lying, deceiving, and manipulation are natural talents for psychopaths...When caught in a lie or challenged with the truth, they are seldom perplexed or embarrassed -- they simply change their stories or attempt to rework the facts so that they appear to be consistent with the lie. The results are a series of contradictory statements and a thoroughly confused listener." (Hare, 46).
Psychopaths may also sense that they are different and damaged when compared with others, which feeds further resentments.
Everyone who knows a psychopath will be stabbed in the back, sooner or later.
Guggenbuhl-Craig states that they are very talented at appearing much more humble than the average person, but are hardly so.
The psychopath also appears not to be able to remember what they had said or committed to for very long. They seem to always be living in the present. That is why they are usually guilty of being big promise-makers who cannot live up to their word. Once again, it will be the victim who must deal with the aftermath of all the psychopath's twists and turns, and when he/she gets you angry enough, you will be discredited as "defective" by him/her, and the psychopath will often make himself/herself out to be the real victim.
Is falling out of line classed as psychopathic?
Rules, even natural order, if followed makes for a boring human, an almost robotic like presence. How many rules are to be broken before one is called a psychopath I wonder..
The real Zombie nation I guess.

The world is your mirror and your mind is a magnet. What you perceive is in this world is largely a reflection of your own attitudes and beliefs.

Scary thought of the day.
1,000 turtle doves falling dead in Italy with strange blue stain on their beaks
Mass winter deaths among spot fish have occurred twice before in the Maryland area - in 1976 and 1980.
The incident is the latest mass animal death to hit the headlines in the last two weeks.
These include:
450 red-winged blackbirds, brown-headed cowbirds, grackles and starlings found littering a highway in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
3,000 blackbirds on roofs and roads in the small town of Beebe, Arkansas
Thousands of 'devil crabs' washed up along the Kent coast near Thanet
Thousands of drum fish washed along a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River
Two million small fish in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland
Thousands of dead fish found floating in warm Florida creek
Hundreds of snapper fish found dead in New Zealand
Scores of American Coots found dead on Texas highway bridge
Experts have speculated that New Year fireworks, thunderstorms, cold weather, parasites and even poisoning may be behind the deaths.
But conspiracy theorists have also speculated on the internet that secret government experiments could be behind them, with some even claiming it was a sign of a looming Armageddon at the end of the Mayan calendar next year.
Another theory is that the rapid movement of the Magnetic North Pole towards Russia may have affected the birds' innate navigation systems.

The boy thought about it, and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”
The old man quietly replied, “The one you feed
Food for thought.
Vultures are vital in the fight against disease. It is incredible the way nature was so finely balanced, and now all being destroyed. We are heading for a manmade, massive disaster.
Vultures are rarely viewed as the poster boys and girls of the natural world. They have repulsive eating habits and are strikingly ugly. Nevertheless, they play a critical role in maintaining the ecological health of many parts of the world. Vultures consume animal carcasses more effectively than any other scavengers and because their digestive juices contain acids that neutralise pathogens such as cholera and rabies they prevent diseases spreading. They act as dead-end hosts for numerous unpleasant ailments. But many ecologists are now warning that vultures across the planet are under serious threat thanks to habitat loss, deliberate and accidental poisoning, and use of the birds’ body parts as traditional medicine cures.

Is it or isn't it ? No 100% proof either way and maybe there never will be but more evidence continues to show towards the age of the cloth being around 2000 yrs, and the blood group is extremely rare. It is not a painting , it has image on both sides of the cloth . I don't believe anyone will ever admit to this being authentic in any way as it would cause uproar, but the mystery continues.
