Rickie will be happy when...
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a
baby, then another.
Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more
content when they are.
After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will
certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that
our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when
we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or when
we retire.
The truth is there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now,
when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure
it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend
your time with ... and remember that time waits for no one.
So, stop waiting .
Until your car or home is paid off.
Until you get a new car or home.
Until your kids leave the house.
Until you go back to school.
Until you finish school.
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married.
Until you get a divorce.
Until you have kids.
Until you retire.
Until summer..
Until spring.
Until winter.
Until fall.
Until you die.
There is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't need
money, love like you've never been hurt, and, dance like no one's watching.
If you want to brighten someone's day, pass this on to someone special.

Why Men Die Earlier
Men Die First for a Reason.
Do you know how tough it is being a man...?
If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you're a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework, you're a pansy. If you work too hard there is never any time for her. If you don't work enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum.
If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, it's exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your ass and
find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her, that is favoritism. If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.
If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment. If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.
If you cry, you're a wimp. If you don't, you're an insensitive bastard.
If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.
If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination. If she asks you, it's a favor.
If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear, you're a pervert. If you don't, you're gay.
If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, you're sexist. If you don't, you're unromantic.
If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain. If you don't, you're a slob.
If you buy her flowers, you're after something. If you don't, you're not thoughtful.
If you're proud of your achievements, you're full of yourself. If you don't, you're not ambitious.
If she has a headache, she's tired. If you have a headache, you don't love her anymore.
If you want it too often, you're oversexed. If you don't, there must be someone else.
No Wonder Men Die Before Women!!

You know you are from Iceland when...
Snow tires come standard on all your cars.
You have gotten frostbitten and sunburned in the same week.
You learned to drive a tractor before the training wheels were off your bike.
Down South to you means Canada.
Birds chirping at 3am in July is normal.
You have a passport to leave the island.
You don't have a coughing fit from one sip of Brennivin.
Your idea of creative landscaping is a tree.
Wearing high heels and a skirt, and going out dancing is "normal" during a hurricane.
You were unaware there is a legal drinking age.
You decided to have a picnic this summer because it fell on a weekend.
You enjoy driving in the winter because the potholes fill in with snow.
Your sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie
Headlines read "Cow born in Neskaupstaður".
At least once a year, a family members' kitchen doubles as a meat processing plant
At times, your second floor balcony doubles as a front door.
You find 0 degrees a little chilly
You actually understand these jokes

Dual Nationality Allowed
A new decision by the Icelandic Parliament allows Icelanders to keep their Icelandic citizenship, even when they have become citizens of another nation. The current law stated that if an Icelander applies for citizenship in another country, he loses his Icelandic citizenship. This has been difficult for some Icelanders who have had to apply for citizenship in certain countries to obtain neccessary rights.
The Intro of a future campain
Former Reykjavík mayor, Ingibjörg Sólrún Gísladóttir made a speech at an Alliance Party meeting yesterday where she criticised Prime Minister Davíd Oddsson. She said that the interference by politicians in the affairs of Icelandic companies was the worst problem in the national economy. She said that it was just as bad for the reputation of a company to be under Oddsson’s protective wing as it was to be his target.
Oddsson responded to the comments immediately and criticised his opponent. He said that Gísladóttir was a gossip-monger and that he hoped that her arguments would become more worthy later on in the election campaign. He also said that it seemed to him that Gísladóttir was the Prime Minister candidate of businessmen Jón Ólafsson and the Baugur empire. He also said that his government had lessened political influence over the economy by privatisation of state-owned companies.
Today our minister of Education is 60 and throwing a party hurrey
