An elderly couple in their 70s are about to get married, but before they say their vows, the woman wanted to talk.
She said: "I want to keep my house."
He said: "That's fine with me."
He said: "OK. I want to drink one night a week with my friends."
She said: "Of course honey."
She said: "I want to keep my BMW."
He said: "That's fine with me."
He said: " I want to play golf twice a week with my mates."
She said: "No problem, darling!"
She said: "And I want to have sex six times a week."......
He said: "Put me down for Fridays."

First I read this news on Chinese internet newspaper in traditional Mandarin characters. I was shock that Taiwanese flag is among 60 flags (Taiwan flag next to U.S. flag) on ISIS propaganda. China flag is NOT on it. So, I Google it and found the photo and an article wrote by Neelabh Chaturvedi in English. I copy and paste it to show you. I am NOT the author of this article. I came from Taiwan 35 & 1/2 yrs ago, I care about Taiwan. I don't like ISIS included Taiwan flag on their propaganda.

The Islamic State has already attracted an angry response from China after it executed a Chinese captive last week. Now the militant group, known as IS or ISIS, could rile Beijing again, this time by recognizing Taiwan as an independent nation.
In its latest propaganda video, ISIS lists the flags of countries it says are part of a global coalition against it. Among these is the Taiwanese flag. All the other flags are of sovereign nations.
Taiwan's Central News Agency linked ISIS's sudden recognition of Taiwan to a statement made by U.S. President Barack Obama at an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Malaysia last week. Obama said that Taiwan was one of the Asia-Pacific countries in a coalition against ISIS.
The Hong Kong Standard reported that SWAT teams were patrolling the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on Thursday after video prompted the Taiwanese government to step up security measures. Meanwhile, President Ma Ying-jeou urged the public not to panic.
Here is a screenshot from the video, which was posted on Wednesday, Nov 25.

The U.S. counterterrorism radar prior to the rampage.Authorities investigating the massacre in San Bernardino, Calif., say they have yet to determine a motive for the mass shooting that left 14 dead and 21 others wounded during a company holiday party at the Inland Regional Center on Wednesday. But law enforcement officials appear to be treating the attack as an act of terrorism.
The suspects — 28-year-old Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, 27-year-old Tashfeen Malik — fired 65 to 75 rounds at the facility and left 1,400 rounds of ammunition and three pipe bombs attached to a remote-control device before fleeing the scene, San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan told reporters Thursday morning.
The couple was killed in a massive shootout with police following a high-speed chase through San Bernardino. Police found an additional 1,600 rounds inside their rented SUV and a cache of weapons — including 6,700 rounds of ammunition and 12 more pipe bombs — in the apartment they shared in nearby Redlands.
Officials said that the two were not on t
Accoridng to CNN, Farook, an American citizen, traveled to Saudi Arabia where he met Malik in 2013 during a Muslim pilgrimmage to Mecca.
FBI assistant director David Bowdich said Malik, a native of Pakistan, came to the United States in July 2014 on a “fiancée visa,” eventually marrying Farook and giving birth to a earlier this year.

The misconception about atheists

First and foremost, nobody was born and raised as atheist. We have been influenced by our parents. I was born and raised as a Catholic and went to church to learn Bible in Taiwan. Human have long childhood in compare of other animals. My mom used to take me to church for Christmas Even Mass. I remember my mom told me to hang long socks beside of my bed on Christmas Eve and next morning I saw gifts for me. I soon realized the gifts were from my mom NOT from Santa Claus because it is impossible for him to deliver gifts to everyone in the world in one night. So, I didn’t believe Santa Claus existence since 5 y/o. When my were little, I did the same, gave them gifts at bedside. I asked them who gave the gifts, but they knew from TV even before they went to pre-K that gift was NOT from Santa Claus. Now they are adults, I gave them cash instead. I don’t know what they want.
Religion is supposed to teach us to be good people. There is supposed a “mighty god” who can create human, make miracles, and if you believe in him, you can go to heaven after death. Do you know how many religions in the world? I have Indian pharmacists worked with me, they told me in India alone they have more than 100 different religions, some even believe in snakes or rats and feed those animals in temples. As you may know, ISIL “educate” and young men to fight, to kill, when they were very young. Religions really can influence and change people. ISIL and Al-Qaeda told those stupid young men if they kill Westerner, they can go to heaven and 72 virgin girls. We know it is ridiculous, but they don’t know because they have been “brainwashed”.
We have been educated many years to know “Right” from “Wrong”. I believe that it is impossible to know whether there is a god. I am skeptical about the existence of god and doubtful or non-committal about god. Why god didn’t appear when Christians were about to be eaten by lions at Colosseum, Italy? Why god didn’t appear on Sept 11, 2001 to save 3,000 people? Why god didn’t appear on March 11, 2011 when earthquake/ tsunami took away 19,000 lives? Where was god when the carnage occurred in Paris twice? Why the prayers didn’t work? Why there are only two places to go after deaths? Don’t you think the heaven is too crowded? You don’t need to quote me from Bible, I know “Ten Commandments” “Thou Shalt Not Kill”.
I doubt Santa Claus existence since 5 y/o and doubt god’s existence when 50 y/o. All I want is “Peace on Earth”. I am NOT greedy to go to heaven. (I'm an agnostic, I doubt. An atheist knows there is no god.)
Happy holidays to everyone !!

I have emigrated to USA from Taiwan since 1980. It has been 35 and 1/2 years. I have pretty much been assimilated. Although I still have accent when speak English, but people understand me. I am a California licensed pharmacist and have to speak English, know some current events to communicate with people. I eat different kind of international food that unlike most of Chinese immigrants. "Do in Rome as Romans do".
I have right to vote just like any American. I have American friends and communicate in English daily. My two speak English with me.
If you want to live in USA, you should live the way as Americans. Otherwise, you will NOT happy. Life in USA is NOT easy. You need to have a skill, a job to survive. You should be willing to be assimilated.
When you buy property, you don't pay ALL CASH. You borrow loan from bank and build-up your credit. You need to be honest. Americans usually trust you, but once you failed their trust, it will take years to correct that mistake. You have to learn English well to the level Americans can understand you. American men are very smart, they don't just look on your beautiful face and sexy figure. They want counterpart and enjoy their humor and jokes.

I saw on TV last night and please search "New video from inside Paris cafe shows woman's life being saved by jammed gun" to see the horrible moment at a cafe restaurant in Paris. (I can't provide the video or the website address)
Horrifying footage from the Paris attacks has emerged which shows a woman escaping with her life due to a gun jam.

Weekend joke - Investments

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines 5 years ago, you would have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG 5 years ago, you would have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers 5 years ago, you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for the recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.
And as a bonus...
A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that on average Americans drink 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means that the average American gets about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you damned proud to be an American !!

SATURDAY
Bob, a 70-year-old, extremely wealthy widower, shows up at the Country Club with a breathtakingly beautiful and very sexy 25-year-old blonde-haired woman who knocks everyone's socks off with her youthful sex appeal and charm and who hangs over Bob’s arm and listens intently to his every word.
His buddies at the club are all aghast. At the very first chance, they corner him and ask, 'Bob, how’d you get the trophy girlfriend?' Bob replies, ‘Girlfriend? She's my wife!' They are knocked over, but continue to ask. 'So, how'd you persuade her to marry you?' 'I lied about my age,' Bob replies...
'What, did you tell her you were only 50?'
Bob smiles and says, 'No, I told her I was 90.'

SUNDAY
Groups of Americans were traveling by tour bus through Switzerland . As they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led them through the process of cheese making, explaining that goat's milk was used. She showed the group a lovely hillside where many goats were grazing.
'These,' she explained, 'are the older goats put out to pasture when they no longer produce.' She then asked, 'What do you do in America with your old goats?'
A spry old gentleman answered, 'They send us on bus tours!'
