THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN - the Place Where Love Resides

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" 
"Because I'm a woman," she told him. 
"I don't understand," he said.
 His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will." 
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say. 

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
 God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue

HE SAID... SAME SEX KISSING; COOL or CRUDE?

Tony Walker
My apologies to the hotties of The Lounge for being so late with my HE SAID for this week.
As usual my post this week is about sex.
I have a question for you ladies. 
Do you find women kissing as acceptable as men do? Us guys think two guys kissing is gruesome. Do you see 2 women kissing the same?
Most people I know, men & women, find 2 women kissing more acceptable. A few girls have told me that if they're going out drinking that is practically a given that 2 girls in that group of friends will be making out to some degree... I gotta hang out with that group!
I am one of those male pigs who LOVE watching 2 gorgeous women kiss. Most men enjoy that. Why do you think that is?
It's my perception that society as a whole accepts 2 girls kissing over men. If 2 girls kiss it's hot & that's it. If 2 guys are kissing those guys are automatically gay. Yet the girls are not gay. How does that work? Not that I'm complaining!!! LOL
Tell us what you think? Do women find watching 2 girls kissing sexy? Is it gross?

PARANORMAL PUB: The Fifty Cent Piece

Marion Pellicano Ambrose
This is a tale that has been passed down from generation to generation by the people in the little Upstate New York town where my husband grew up. Folks there swear it is not an urban legend but a true account of one couple’s encounter.
A young man and his wife were traveling in their carriage from a trip to New England back to their home in Albany when a storm came up suddenly and they needed to seek shelter. There was no inn nearby but they saw a light glowing in the distance and followed it to a picturesque little cottage at the top of a hill. It was barely dusk, but because of the storm it seemed like midnight. As they approached, an old man met them at the door with a lantern. “Come in, come in” he called, ”You must be drenched to the skin.” They entered to find a cozy room with a blazing fire. The old man’s wife invited them to sit and have tea and freshly baked cake. “You must spend the night my dears” she said kindly ”You’ll never find your way in this storm.” They gratefully accepted the offer and the woman showed them to a lovely room with a hand stitched quilt on a big brass bed. “I’d like to pay you for your trouble.” The young man told the old man’s wife.” “What? Why we wouldn’t hear of it!” she fussed “It’s been our pleasure to have such fine company. Now you both sleep well.”
In the morning, the young couple rose early and prepared to leave quietly so as not to disturb their hosts. Even though the old woman had refused payment, they decided to thank their hosts by leaving a shiny new fifty cent piece on the table. They climbed into their carriage and headed towards home.
When they reached the town, they stopped to break their fast at a local restaurant. The owner himself waited on them and when they told them where they had spent the night he grew pale. “Where did you say that house was?” he asked. The young man explained that it was the lovely cottage at the top of the hill. “That couldn’t be.” said the owner, ”That cottage burned down three years ago killing the old couple who lived there.” After arguing back and forth, the young man suggested the owner ride back with him to see the house and meet the old couple. The three climbed into the carriage and headed back to the cottage at the top of the hill.
When they arrived, all they found was the burned out shell of a cottage. The road was overgrown with weeds. They approached the scorched rubble and the young man shook his head. “ I must have made a wrong turn somewhere. This couldn’t be the same house.” Just then, his wife let out a scream and pointed to the center of the wreckage. There on the black, charred table was a shiny new half dollar piece.

WANNA LAUGH?!?! - BEST COME BACK LINE EVER

Tony Walker
In summary, the police arrested Patrick Lawrence, 22 year old white male, in a pumpkin patch 11:38 p.m. on Friday night.

On Monday, at the courthouse, Lawrence was charged with lewd and lascivious behaviour, public indecency, and public intoxication.
The suspect explained that as he was passing a pumpkin patch on his way home from a drinking session when he decided to stop...

"You know how a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one
around for miles or at least I thought there wasn't anyone around" He stated in an interview.
Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purpose; cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged need. 'Guess I was really into it, you know?' he commented with evident embarrassment 
  
In the process of doing the deed, Lawrence failed to notice an approaching police car and was unaware of his audience until Officer Brenda Taylor approached him. 
It was an unusual situation, that's for sure,' said Officer Taylor. 'I walked up to Lawrence and he's just banging away at this pumpkin.' 
  
Officer Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Lawrence .
  
I said, Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you're having sex with a pumpkin?
  
He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then he looked me straight in the face and said... A pumpkin? Shit ..... is it midnight already? 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

HALLOWEEN SAFETY

NOT SO SWEET: Stories of Helen Pfeil, a Long Islander who gave arsenic to kids in ’64, stirred parents’ worries of tainted candy.

SOME DO'S AND DON'TS TO REMEMBER


Treats: Warn children not to eat any treats before an adult has carefully examined them for evidence of tampering.

Pedestrian Safety: Young children should always be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible child. All children should WALK, not run from house to house and use the sidewalk if available, rather than walk in the street. Children should be cautioned against running out from between parked cars, or across lawns and yards where ornaments, furniture, or clotheslines present dangers.

Safe Houses: Children should go only to homes where the residents are known and have outside lights on as a sign of welcome.
