calming lifestyle: Caruso Funny ~ How Scottish Policemen enforce the Road Rules - 02/04/12 04:36 PM
A London Lawyer in his flash new BMW is pulled over by a Scottish policeman.
He says, "Sir, I pulled you over because you didn't stop at the STOP sign. That'll be a 100 pound fine"
The lawyer looks at him "100 pound?!!!", then pretty agitated: "Look, I slowed down all right? What difference does it make, I slowed down surely that's enough."
The policeman raises a brow and looks at him: "Sir, it's a STOP sign, so that means you have to stop not just slow down."
The lawyer rolls … (6 comments)

Many people, especially Americans have a fine and rather gray line between what they consider to be work in the office and time spent at home. Now-a-days so many people are using their home phones, computers and many other things interchangeably for both their personal and office lives.

calming lifestyle: Math & Beer? - 08/13/11 01:40 PM
Math Supports Drinking and Recycling…
I’m pretty good with numbers, but this equation was passed on to me by a friend.
So
Let’s do the Math right here!
If you bought 1,000 shares of Delta last year, that would net you $49.00 today
Or 1,000 shares of Lehman Brothers and you have a netted a big 0 today
Or 1,000 shares of AIG and you might have about $33.00 today
However, if you bought and drank just $1,000 worth of beer you would have had a lot of fun and netted $214.00 from recycling … (9 comments)

Ehow.com: This site is for tips and step-by-step instructions on how to do stuff. There’s the practical how to teach a child to tie their shoes and the creative how to make title mosaics and the merely suggestive, how to exercise at the beach.

calming lifestyle: A Fathers Day Poem from Caruso! - 06/18/11 05:16 PM
What makes a Dad?
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages
The power of the eagle's flight
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family in need,
The God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew his masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it...Dad

calming lifestyle: Get Your Green Thumb - 06/01/11 03:31 PM
Growing you own vegetable or herb garden can help trim the fat on your grocery bill - and your body! So are you ready to start planning? HGTV experts suggest that you consider these tips before you let your garden grow.
Start by making a list; it's easier to plot out garden beds when you put everything down on paper. Write down the herbs you commonly use and look up their soil, light and water needs. Take note of a plant's growing patterns too. For example, mint, a popular herb, tends to overtake gardens so is best planted by itself.
