A Mothers Love



I was just thinking,a mothers love is never ending and if done right , we set them free.

Its the only love I know of that is so all filling and wonderful yet so painful.

I sit here knowing that if Ive done my job and raised them right,they will some day walk away.Ironic and bitter sweet isn't it?

Lets just say they were gone in no time.Steve loved them and put them on our grocery list.The tater tots thought they were even better than their normal "fish" shaped snacks and I had a ball.Some with slices of cheese,some with peanut butter dobbed on top,some while hiding under the covers so Steve wouldnt snatch them from my fingers.They are an all around great snack.Great for on a walk or drive snacks or soups .If you havent tried them youre missing alot.Im off to the store.Meet you in the cracker isle!

One Question Quiz


The Einstein Quiz

Einstein said that 98% of people in the world cannot solve the following puzzle. And Einstein was usually right (that's why he's Einstein.) Here is the Einstein Quiz:

Facts:
There are 5 houses in 5 different colors.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.
Hints:
The Brit lives in a red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the left of the white house.
The green house owner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.
Question:
Can you determine WHO KEEPS FISH?
Answer below:















Nowhere in the problem, except in the question, is the word fish found. Thus the fifth pet might just as well be elephants as fish. After a lot of work you can safely conclude that the German has the fifth pet, but you have to ASSUME that the fifth pet is fish in order to conclude the German has fish. But you have no basis for making this assumption. Note that Einstein was very careful to separate the "Facts" from the "Question" in this puzzle.

So the correct answer to the Einstein Quiz is: You have no idea if anyone keeps fish or not. Once you grasp the nature of the problem correctly, its rather simple to solve. And it is just like Einstein to give us a puzzle like this, for he stressed examining assumptions, and once wrote: "The important thing is to not stop questioning."

Slainte!



To all my Irish family and friends and those who may only be Irish for the day I say Slainte!


May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
