A man was speeding down the highway, feeling secure in a gaggle of cars all traveling at the same speed. However, as they passed a speed trap, he got nailed with an infrared speed detector and was pulled over.
The officer handed him the citation, received his signature and was about to walk away when the man asked, “Officer, I know I was speeding, but I don’t think it’s fair. There were plenty of other cars around me going just as fast, so why did I get the ticket?”
“Ever go fishing?” the policeman suddenly asked the man.
“Ummm, yeah… so,” the startled man replied. The officer grinned and added, “Ever catch ALL the fish?”
Rumi/Unless You Lose Your Own
Posted in God, Photography, poem with tags God, life, love, poem, Rumi, thoughts on August 7, 2010 by thundercatt99
“Dam the torrent of ecstacy when it runs in flood, so that it won’t bring shame and ruin.
But why should I fear ruin.
Under the ruin waits a royal treasure.
He that is drowned in God wishes to be more drowned.
While his spirit is tossed up and down by the waves of the sea, he asks,
“Is the bottom of the sea more delightful, or the top?
Is the Beloved’s arrow more fascinating, or the shield?”
O heart, if you recognize any difference between joy and sorrow,
these lies will tear you apart.
Although your desire tastes sweet,
doesn’t the Beloved desire you to be desire less?
The life of lovers is in death:
you will not win the Beloved’s heart unless you lose your own.”

A Cool Treehouse in Sweden!
Posted in holidays, odds and ends with tags amazing, art, fun, holiday, story, Sweden, thoughts, travel on July 25, 2010 by thundercatt99Where do I sign up?
This is one of six units in a “Treehotel,” which recently opened 40 miles south of the Arctic Circle in Sweden.The four-meter glass cube looks as spectacular in reality as it did in the rendering.
And what about the birds? According to Designboom, Lindvall says that a special film that is visible to birds will be applied to the glass.
Kent Lindvall, co-owner of the TreeHotel, has been quoted as saying:
“Everything will reflect in this — the trees, the birds, the clouds, the sun, everything. So it should be invisible nearly in the forest.”
“This is untouched forest, and we want to maintain it the same way. We decided, for example, to not offer snowmobile safari which is very common up here,” says Selberg. Instead, wilderness walks will be offered.”
Yep … Sign me up!

Zephaniah 3:17
17The Lord your God in your midst,The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
Read this and take it personally! Your God, your Creator … rejoices over you. Your King quiets you with HIS love, and sings over you. Can you even wrap your brain around that? I try…I believe it is the romancing that the One who created romance, is pouring out on us..if we let HIM. Why would we not want HIM to do that?
I can not wait to hear what God sounds like singing!! I know it will be the most beautiful thing I have ever heard and will ever hear……HE sings…over me…over you…a divine love that compares to no other. Wow!
Have a blessed evening everyone! Tim
Improve Your Sex Life With Goat Weed?
Posted in humor, odds and ends with tags amazing, Goat weed, news, tradition on July 16, 2010 by thundercatt99
Used for over 2,000 years in China, Yin Yang Huo, known here as Horny Goat Weed, has been used to improve energy and the sex lives of both men and women. The leaves of the plant contain a variety of flavonoids, one of which icarin, is believed to play a role in restoring sexual interest, boost erectile function, allay fatigue and alleviate menopausal discomfort. In the legend of Ying Yang Huo, the leaves were purportedly the food of the ying yang, a mythical beast which achieved 100 sexual climaxes a day! It has a honored place in traditional Chinese medicine naturally.
In the United States, goat weed has become somewhat of a phenomenon, and according to this article, science is beginning to back that claim. In a study by Dr. Steven Lamm and Gerald Secor Cousins, 25 healthy men and 13 men who used Viagra received doses of the product for 45 days, then 60 days. Results of the double blind study showed that daily use of the herb resulted in the sexual enhancement in 60% of healthy males and 45% of the men using Viagra. Considering the long history of positive results and this study is the indication it just might work! I have a friend who says they can’t keep the stuff stocked at the local Wal Mart! More studies obviously are being conducted to support these conclusions.
