Warning: This is valid only for women who can handle the truth!!!
A store that sells husbands has just
opened in New York City , where a
woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the
entrance is a description of how the
store operates. You may visit the
store
ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the
attributes of the men increase as the
shopper ascends the flights. There is,
however, a catch . . . You may
choose any man from a particular
floor, or you may choose to go up a
floor,
but you cannot go back down except to
exit the building! So, a woman
goes to the Husband Store to find a
husband. .
On the first floor the sign on the
door reads:
Floor 1 – These men have jobs and love
the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 – These men have jobs, love
the Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 – These men have jobs, love
the Lord, love kids, and are
extremely good looking.
“Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled
to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign
reads:
Floor 4 – These men have jobs, love
the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead
good looking and help with the
housework.
“Oh mercy me” she exclaims, “I can
hardly stand it!” Still, she goes
to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 – These men have jobs, love
the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead
gorgeous, help with the housework, and
have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she
goes to the sixth floor and the
sign reads:
Floor 6 – You are visitor 4,363,012 to
this floor. There are no men on
this floor. This floor exists solely
as proof that women are impossible
to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband
Store. Watch your step as you
exit the building, and have a nice
day!
It’s a nice one huh?!?! I must admit, we (women) are SOMETIMES hard to please. But, I was able to handle the truth that’s why I’m sharing this with all of you dear friends.
I asked my hubby, “What shall we do this weekend dear?!?! Fancy going to the cinema?” He said, “Yeah that would be nice” and so I said “Let’s go then.”
This is not just an ordinary cinema day… this is extra ordinary cinema day. Wanna know why?!?
Sometimes going to the cinema is a bit unexciting, a routine type of activity. So, I thought of giving it a bit of sparkle. I printed a movie guide time from Vue Cinema for Sunday 8 July 2007. I worked out that we can actually see three, yes, three films one after another!!! How we did it?! TIMING… you need to be at the cinema at the right time.
The First film which start at 14:25 was Are we done yet?
Starring: Ice Cube, Nia Long, John C. McGinley
Synopsis:
This sequel picks up as the newly formed family of Nick, Suzanne, Lindsey and Kevin move from the city to the suburbs in the pursuit of an idyllic life. A renovation leads to chaos, however, as Nick clashes with the eccentric contractor who bonds with Suzanne and the kids. Nick also has to deal with a pregnant wife as well as a raccoon who proves impossible to catch.
The film finished about 16:15 just enough time to buy popcorn and a drink for our next movie which was Die Hard 4.0
Starring: Bruce Willis, Timothy Olyphant, Maggie Q, Justin Long
Synopsis:
In this action-packed sequel, John McClane no longer works for the police department, but his job chasing down dangerous hackers for the Department of Homeland Security still places him directly in the line of fire. When an attack on America’s vulnerable infrastructure begins to shut down the entire nation, McClane is assigned the dangerous task of capturing the mysterious figure behind the act of terror and preventing chaos and catastrophe.
Wow!!! A marvelous action-thrilled movie. Love it!!!
But before going to the next screen we still managed to get ourselves a hotdog and an ice cream, nice combination?! Ha!ha!ha!
Now for the finale, La Vie En Rose
Starring: Marion Cotillard, Sylvie Testud, Pascal Greggory, Gerard Depardieu, Emmanuelle Seigner.
Synopsis:
On stage she was a singing legend. But for Edith Piaf, life was the greatest performance of all.
From Director Olivier Dahan comes the long awaited biopic of the legendary French chanteuse Edith Piaf. Starring Marion Cotillard (A Good Year, A Very Long Engagement) in the lead role, this impressive film reveals the extraordinary life of one of the world’s greatest performers.
From the streets of the cutthroat Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York’s most glamorous concert halls, Edith Piaf’s life was a constant battle to sing and survive, to live and love. Raised in abject poverty, surrounded by hookers and pimps, Edith’s magical voice made her a star on both sides of the Atlantic. Her passionate romances and friendships with some of the greatest names of the period – Yves Montand, Jean Cocteau, Charles Aznavour, Marlene Dietrich and boxing world champion Marcel Cerdan – made her a household name, as did her memorable live performances and beautiful renditions of songs that were listened to by audiences across the globe: La Vie en Rose, Hymn To Love, Non Je ne Regrette Rien (I love this piece of music) and many more. But despite her determination to deny her tragic destiny, the “Little Sparrow” – as she was known – flew so high that she could not fail to burn her wings.
All three films were great in their own categories. The first film was a comedy movie. The second film was an action movie. The third film was a true to life drama movie.
Nice timing to see all three films in one day!
The first step to obtain an Indefinite Leave to Remain or British Citizenship is clearing the “Life in the UK” examination, as per the rules set by the Home Office.
Since 2005, everyone who applies to become a British citizen has had to show their knowledge of the English language and of life in the United Kingdom in one of two ways. They can take a special ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) course, which uses teaching materials based on the practical meaning of citizenship. Or they can take the new Life in the UK Exam, which consist of 24 questions about important aspects of life in Britain today.
I took my exam last Monday 9 July 2007 at the Learning & Enterprise Centre in Chester. I arrived ten minutes before my appointment time feeling a bit nervous but at the same time confident that I will pass the exam. Prior to my exam date, as I was reading the handbook Life in the UK: A Journey to Citizenship (Edition 2), I thought of looking for a site wherein I could actually do some practice test. After spending five minutes searching for the right one, alas! I found lifeintheukonline.co.uk which really helped me to prepare and it boosts up my confidence in taking the exam. Reading the book is not enough so I would recommend this site for people who will be taking the exam in the future.
I am now a proud owner of a Pass Notification Letter. Hurray!!! I’m looking forward to getting my indefinite leave to remain visa next month. J
