Beau Biden’s death leaves Joe Biden grieving again

I like our V.P., Joe Biden, for his persistence and perseverance. The first tragedy is the car accident in 1972 that took away his wife and and he became a single parent for his two sons. He insisted that his parenthood is more important than "senator" job. The 2nd tragedy is the death of Beau Biden, of Vice President Joe Biden, who died Saturday, May 30, of brain cancer at age 46.
Quote from his , Beau Biden's words.
One of my earliest memories was being in that hospital, Dad always at our side. We, not the Senate, were all he cared about,” Beau Biden said. “He decided not to take the oath of office. He said, ‘Delaware can get another senator, but my boys can’t get another father.’
So he was sworn in, in the hospital, at my bedside. As a single parent, he decided to be there to put us to bed, to be there when we woke from a bad dream, to make us breakfast, so he’d travel to and from Washington, four hours a day.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier this month, Vice President Joe Biden delivered the commencement address at Yale University, where he recalled the 1972 car accident that killed his wife, Neilia, and 1-year-old , Naomi, and left his two sons, Beau, 3, and Hunter, 2, hospitalized.
The then-30-year-old had recently been elected to the U.S. Senate.
“I got elected as the second-youngest man in the history of the United States to be elected, the stuff that provides and fuels raw ambition. And if you’re not careful, it fuels a sense of inevitability that seeps in. But be careful. Things can change in a heartbeat. I know,” Biden said. “Six weeks after my election, my whole world was altered forever. While I was in Washington hiring staff, I got a phone call. My wife and three were Christmas shopping, a tractor-trailer broadsided them and killed my wife and killed my . And they weren’t sure that my sons would live.”
Biden began commuting four hours a day from Washington to Wilmington, Del., for weeks to be with his sons in the hospital.
“I did it because I wanted to be able to kiss them good night and kiss them in the morning the next day,” he said. “No, ‘Ozzie and Harriet’ breakfast or great familial thing, just climb in bed with them. Because I came to realize that a can hold an important thought, something they want to say to their mom and dad, maybe for 12 or 24 hours, and then it’s gone. And when it’s gone, it’s gone. And it all adds up.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He battled brain cancer with the same integrity, courage and strength he demonstrated every day of his life,” the vice president said in announcing Beau’s death. “The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words. We know that Beau’s spirit will live on in all of us — especially through his brave wife, Hallie, and two remarkable .”
He added: “Beau Biden was, quite simply, the finest man any of us have ever known.”
“For all that Beau Biden achieved in his life, nothing made him prouder, nothing made him happier, nothing claimed a fuller focus of his love and devotion than his family,” President Barack Obama said in a separate statement. “Just like his dad.”

Those heartfelt words touched my heart.

Marketing
People often ask for a simple explanation of “Marketing.” Well, here it is:
• You’re a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, “I’m fantastic in bed.” That’s Direct Marketing.
• You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and, pointing at you, says, “She’s fantastic in bed.” That’s Advertising.
• You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, “Hi, I’m fantastic in bed.” That’s Telemarketing.
• You see a guy at a party; you straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, “May I?” and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, “By the way, I’m fantastic in bed.” That’s Public Relations.
• You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, “I hear you’re fantastic in bed.” That’s Brand Recognition.
• You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend. That’s a Sales Rep.
• Your friend can’t satisfy him so he calls you. That’s Tech Support.
• You’re on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you’re passing, so you climb onto the roof of one situated towards the center and shout at the top of your lungs, “I’m fantastic in bed!” That’s Facebook.
• You’re at a party; an attractive older man walks up to you and grabs your ass. That’s former President Bill Clinton.
• You like it, but twenty years later your attorney decides you were offended and you are awarded a settlement. That’s America!

Hello Dear ,
Looking So Beautiful .....so sorry to infringe on your privacy, I am Randy Allen Kee a Major General of the United States Air Force. I was actually surfing when I stumbled on your profile with those captivating and charming smiles, as it is said 'A picture is worth a thousand words', but seeing yours, it was more than words could explain. Hence I stopped to say hello wishing we could be friends as "Each Friend they say Represents a World in us, a World Possibly not Born until they Arrive, and it is only by Meetings like this New World is Born". Will oblige to read from you at your earliest convenience.
Kindest Regards
Major Gen. Randy A. Kee
Today, I received an email from a Major General of the U.S. Air Force. Now, I have been promoted from U.S. Army General to a Major General of the U.S.A.F. He is not on the land but on the air.
Ladies, did you also receive his email? Please let me know. Thank you.

IRS says thieves stole tax information from Americans
|
Posted:May 27, 2015 6:45 pm
Last Updated:May 28, 2015 10:22 am 72193 Views

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said thieves used an online service provided by the agency to get access to information from more than 100,000 taxpayers, The Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press reported Tuesday. The IRS said thieves accessed a system called "Get Transcript" and the service has been temporarily shut down. The agency said thieves cleared a security screen that required knowledge about the taxpayer, including Social Security numbers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a taxpayer to IRS and California Tax Board. Social Security numbers is the most important information for American citizens. When we apply loan, buy a property, apply a job or credit card, medical and criminal record, ...... are all based on S.S. numbers. Once this information fell into perpetrator's hands will create a chaos. How can IRS neglect to get more secure computer security?

Know how to protect yourself from scammers
|
Posted:May 17, 2015 4:40 am

There are plenty of scammers out there. Be very vigilant. Read their profiles and emails carefully and use your wisdom, instinct, intuition, and intelligence to identify scammers. Ages and distance are very important factors to suspect scammers. Scammers always say "Age is just numbers", or "when two hearts are in love, distance is NOT a problem". If the phrase "if you don't mind" appeared in the email, chances are they are scammers from same teacher. They all live in Aldershot, UK.
1. Do NOT contact them outside before you can fully trust them. Don't reply to their email address or text phone # they provided. They will think you are the victim of their scam. However, if you emailed them outside and then found out they are scammers, please use the "Spam" button to prevent the further contact. You need to block them. If you have Yahoo, click the "Settings" at upper right corner, then choose "Blocked Addresses", add their email address to block them. Don't forget to click "Save" button before you leave the page. As phone #, you will need to change phone # which will cost you lots of problems. You need to restore and inform your friends or employer that your new phone #.
2. They pretended who they are NOT, i.e. U.S. Army Generals, cardiologist doctor, petroleum engineers, .... etc. The scammers can be males or females. Do NOT sympathize to a scammer that they are in a financial difficulty. Do NOT wire money to them. NEVER trust a person who can't meet you in person. You will be a fool, if you wire money to a stranger.
3. Always use "Bcc" (Blind carbon copy) if you email/ forward more than 1 person to protect your friends privacy and leak their email addresses to unknown hackers/ scammers. Please delete all the previous email from your friend's name, email addresses.
4. Don't give away your bank name, your account #, your Social security #, your credit card #, your address, .... You will encounter "Identity theft". I once (many years ago) lost my wallet at a supermarket. They tried to use my credit cards, but I stopped the credit card. Then they sold my name, address, S.S. # to a woman who tried 4 times to apply new credit cards (but she changed to her address). The credit card companies called me, if I applied that credit card. I said "no, I didn't apply, I lost my wallet." So, the applications for new card have been declined. I learned my lesson that I have to report "ID theft" to police and get a written report number and called your credit card company and ask for the toll free number of credit bureaus" such as Equifax, TransUnion and Experian.
5. We gave away our information (name, address, phone #, driver's license #, SS#) to banks, loan agent, real estate agent, escrow company, CPA, MD, hospital, employer, ..... I watched a TV program that a woman went to a real estate company to apply a loan, the "drug addict" secretary made copy of the victim woman application. That secretary purchased a car, fur coat, drugs, furniture, even plastic surgery, ... charged her credit card and even called and show-up at outside of victim's house. The victim was in jail in a foreign country and been sent back to USA for a trial. She has gone through many troubles to earn back her ID.
Life is full of challenge. Be careful with Scammers, hackers, and ID theft.
6. If you are a rich person, use LLC (Limited Liability Company) to purchase your residence or rental properties to prevent lawsuit that attorneys can find out all your properties in combine. However, you need to pay $800 extra every year for each LLC name.

weekend joke - The bull's testicles size
|
Posted:May 16, 2015 11:17 am
Last Updated:May 16, 2015 11:18 am 68891 Views

An Australian stopped at a local restaurant following a day roaming around
in Madrid.
While sipping his wine, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter
being served at the next table.
Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful.
He asked the waiter, 'What is that you just served?'
The waiter replied, 'Si Senor, you have excellent taste! Those are called
Cojones de Toro, bull's testicles from the bull fight this morning. A
delicacy!' The Australian said, 'I will have the same please.' The waiter
replied, 'I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving per day because
there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come early and place your
order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy.' The following day he
returned, placed his order, and that evening was served the one and only
special delicacy of the day. After a few bites, inspecting his platter, he
called to the waiter and said, 'These are delicious, but they are much,
much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday.' The waiter shrugged
his shoulders and replied,
'Si, Señor. Sometimes the bull wins."

My true story joke - 4

When I was 20 something in a pharmacy school in Taiwan that only "freshman" can stay in dormitory. From sophomore on, we have to find a rental place. I was a Catholic, so I chose a convent for clean environment.
In that church convent, most of the nuns are Spanish but there was only one Chinese nun (about 40+ y/o) who watch out for 12 student girls on 3rd floor. One day, that Chinese nun told me she had insomnia the night before. I told her I don't have sleep problem. That nun said she didn't have sleep problem when she was .
She said when she was 16, her family was poor, so she went to a church and asked to be a nun. The "mother superior" gave her an assignment for the next morning to ring the church bells at 6 a.m. to wake all the nuns to pray. She overslept the next morning till 8 a.m. and didn't ring the church bell. She said she only had a wrist watch but not a alarm clock. The "mother superior" scolded her but gave her another chance for next morning. She really wanted to be a nun, so she slept very early in the evening so that she could wake up before 6 a.m. She woke up and saw her watch was 6 o'clock. She ran to ring the church bells as hard as she could. Ooh, she was wrong again because it was 12:30 a.m. (looked like 6 a.m.). She got scolded by "mother superior" again, of course.
