Mental Coffee

Now that some 15 years have pass and I can look at the finite facts of everything that I tried to instill in my children, let’s look over the lessons. One; never lying to them or sugar coating answers to their questions no matter what they were. Two; always sacrificing my body mind and heart so they would have a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs, food on their table and even toys for holidays and birthdays. Three; never stealing from anyone even though it would be easy because of the trust gained. Four; never disrespecting their mother in public nor private. Five; leading by example and never asking them to do anything that I have not, would not or could not do.

With these five elements I went about raising my family to be productive responsible adults  that would make a positive impact on the world. My daughter will be 21 in August, Allowed her to come back home 4 times to get her self  together since leaving home at 18 because her choice was leave or be honest with us what happened when we were at work. She chose to leave. At this point in her life no job, 8th grade GED education, no drivers license (doesn’t know how to drive), no medical yet (trying to get medicaid) relying on others to take her places and has no will to put forth the effort it will take to survive.

My son who just turned 18 who has not been home since turning 14 because he like his sister did not want to be honest to the people that mattered the most has been in and out of the system of staying with relatives, jail, level three group homes, level two group home and now couch surfing. Has a job (he’s a male he’d better dick is free pussy costs), 9th grade GED education, knows how to drive but no license. Has all the great ideas in the world but no follow through and follows  the wrong types of influences. He has managed to go from level two group home, turn 18, get kicked out of roommate set up, refuse help from said level two  group home and get his girlfriend kicked out as well in three days.

My only hope is that at some point all the sacrificing their mother and I did will matter enough to kick start their brains and they will grab their ears and pull with all their might until they hear a vigorous pop. Because they are really suffering from a sever case of Rectal cranial insertion.

These are the things we’re supposed to do to remove the cholesterol around our brain and try to slow up
Alzheimer’s Disease.. It took me 4 times before I could finally tell this brain of mine to concentrate. A great
test, do it until you get 100%!
Bet you can’t get 100% on the first try! But I’m rootin’ for ya…
This is pretty neat! See how you do with the colors! Have fun!
It takes an average of 5 tries to get to 100%. Follow the directions!
It’s harder than it seems, as it should be!

This is fun… interesting.  Enjoy!

HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following is reportedly an actual question given on a University of Washington
chemistry mid term.

The answer by one student was so ‘profound’ that the professor shared it
with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, is why we now have
the pleasure of enjoying it as well:

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs
heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas
cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.. So we
need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at
which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul
gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for
how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions
that exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their
religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these
religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can
project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are,
we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now,
we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law
states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the
same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all
Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it? (more…)

The letters E, G, H, I, N, S, T, V, and X represent different digits 0-9.

1. SIX is a three digit number equal to the product of two consecutive integers
2. SEVEN is a five digit prime number
3. EIGHT is a five digit perfect cube
4. Neither S nor E is 0

What numbers are SIX, SEVEN and EIGHT? (more…)

A, B, C and D are related to each other.

• One of the four is the opposite sex from each of the other three.
• D is A’s brother or only daughter.
• A or B is C’s only son.
• B or C is D’s sister.

How are they related to each other?

Mr. Subramaniam rents a private car for Andheri-Colaba-Andheri trip. It costs him Rs. 300 everyday.

One day the car driver informed Mr. Subramaniam that there were two students from Bandra who wished to go from Bandra to Colaba and back to Bandra. Bandra is halfway between Andheri and Colaba. Mr. Subramaniam asked the driver to let the students travel with him.

On the first day when they came, Mr. Subramaniam said, “If you tell me the mathematically correct price you should pay individually for your portion of the trip, I will let you travel for free.”

How much should the individual student pay for their journey?

Illiteracy in Louisiana ? 

How would you pronounce this child’s name?  She spells her name “Le-a”

So how would YOU pronounce her name?
Leah?  …………………NO.
Lee – A?  ……………… NOPE.
Lay – a?  ………….. NOT A CHANCE.
Lei?………..NICE TRY, BUT GUESS AGAIN!
This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA.  Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her child’s name wrong.  She says it’s pronounced “Ledasha.”  When the Mother was asked how in the world she figured  it should be pronounced that way, she said, ”cause the dash don’t be silent!”  So, if you see a name come across your desk like this, please remember to pronounce the dash.  And if anyone axes you why, tell them it’s ’cause the dash don’t be silent!
Someone… pleeeeze, pleeeze tell me dis don’t bes true!  Surely, someone bes jokin’ wid us?!?!

Special thanks to uncle Rich and his hysterical emails!

Okay all, I’m trippin’!  I heard this album last night for the first time and am floored!  For those who haven’t heard it yet, listen to it!  So this is what he did, he took a bunch of old Soul Music and remade it.  Awesome, totally awsome!  The LAST thing I’d expect from Rod!  Enjoy!!!!!

A man who lives on the tenth floor takes the elevator down to the first floor every morning and goes to work. In the evening, when he comes back; on a rainy day, or if there are other people in the elevator, he goes to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment.
Can you explain why?
(This is one of the more popular and most celebrated of all lateral thinking logic puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions that fit the conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.)

You are on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in a remote part of the country and there has never been a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.

Every day a tractor and wagon gives hay rides around the island. Puzzled as to how the tractor had gotten onto the island, you ask around and find out that the tractor was not transported to the island by boat or by air. Nor was it built on the island.

Explain how the tractor got there?

Alex, Bret, Chris, Derek, Eddie, Fred, Greg, Harold, and John are nine students who live in a three storey building, with three rooms on each floor. A room in the West wing, one in the centre, and one in the East wing. If you look directly at the building, the left side is West and the right side is East. Each student is assigned exactly one room. Can you find where each of their rooms is:

1. Harold does not live on the bottom floor.

2. Fred lives directly above John and directly next to Bret (who lives in the West wing).

3. Eddie lives in the East wing and one floor higher than Fred.
