March 11, 2007 I had the opportunity to visit the city of Memphis, Tennessee for my daughters wedding. She was married at the botanical gardens with the beautiful pond as a backdrop. The wedding party was to walk across the little bridge and make their way around the pond to the area designated for the wedding. In the pond was a family of geese. The gardens were awesome. There was a small slope where the guests were to stand to watch the ceremony. As the wedding party began the walk we noticed the geese starting to pay attention to what was going on around them. One by one the couples walked. In the background we heard bagpipes begin to play and the funny thing was that both sides of the family were Scottish but no one knew the gentleman playing the pipes. It was just a random thing that worked out perfectly for them. As the flower girl began her walk across the bridge she was to throw down feathers. As soon as the geese saw the feathers they started coming out of the water to investigate what was going on. The poor flower girl was so scared she ran behind the brides dress and walked the rest of the way hanging on to her dress afraid of the geese.

During the wedding the male goose made his presence known by coming up the walk and attacking the train of my daughter’s wedding dress. He had his wings stuck out and neck stretched, squawking and making darn sure that the poor bride and groom kept their eyes on him and not each other.

Trusted Tours & Attractions had some wonderful choices for us to make during our weekend there. Never have gone to Memphis before we thought it would be nice to have the wedding guests be able to see the beautiful city of Memphis. I know that the guests will have memories for years to come because of the wonderful city of Memphis and the people from Trusted Tours & Attractions. :)

Who determines what love is? Or who we love and where they are from? Love comes from within us and when you fall in love with someone, where they are from or how you met them shouldn’t matter. Many successful marriages have come from couples meeting through an online dating service and from other countries.

Russian women are beautiful, smart, talented and deserve to be able to meet someone that makes them happy, marry and have a wonderful life together. No one should have the right to put a label on someone just because they are looking elsewhere for love.

LoversPlanet.com is an online dating service that allows you to meet someone that will hopefully sweep you off your feet. I know several Russian women and they are awesome. I will treat them as an equal and share my heart with one if I had the chance. Love is all over the planet and why should Russian women have to just marry within their own country.

This site has every opportunity there is to find that special someone and get to know them online before taking the step to meet in person. The success rate is very high when it comes to online dating services. The couples know what they are looking for and they find it. Simple as that. Love is just what it is…love. :)

YawpBox.com is the best website to view. Terry and Lex are both awesome guys and they throw out some of the funniest videos ever seen. YawpBoxTV is a live program that airs once a week for 30 minutes. During this magazine type show it is all about the viewers content.
YawpBox
Having watched many of the videos at YawpBox.com I have to say I have never laughed harder or thought that people could or would do some of the antics on tape and be brave enough to share them. I had to sit back and think of all the funny videos I had taken and never had the chance to share them with the public. Just family to embarrass someone probably.

My daughter was in color guard during her high school years and was always spinning and tossing that flag around. One day several of the girls were over and practicing for their show and we would video it and let them discuss what they had done right and wrong. My daughter tossed her flag high in the air and all of a sudden it came down and went “thunk” right on the top of her head. The sound was so loud all we could do was laugh. She was alright but we must have rewound that tape thousands of times to her dismay just to hear the “thunk” as it hit her in the head. :lol:

Terry and Lex are throwing out yet another great challenge to everyone. Go through your videos and find the funniest or the most embarrassing one and upload it to their website. See if yours makes the grade and gets you a chance to be on the YawpboxTV show. Don’t think for a second that they are the perfect hosts. Watch some of their outtakes and you will understand how funny they can be.

There are more and more of people videoing funny things that happen in their everyday life. It is fun to do and some times you catch things that years later you will look at and still laugh. Laughter is what this is all about. Life needs laughter and this is your chance.

The program is all about you. It is your content that they use. Whatever you tape is what they will view and decide if you are worthy of your “15 minutes of fame.”
