I'm doing great!!

Actually, I just woke up, so I'm groggy and goofy and slow... In other words, I'm feeling totally normal for me!!!

Thunder that is So very true, have you seen AFJ lately?

 

[NewChildofGod]

I can't say I feel that way. I feel about the same.

Well that is good...I look forward to being a grandmother...my daughter...words of a 7 yr old...says she DOES NOT want to have a child, but since her mother wants grandchildren, will think about adopting...lol!

 

[JoyforJESUS]

Thats great!!


Every one I found had already been found by someone else first...

Once when my boys at 3 and 5 were acting out in a grocery store, and I was so frustraited with them.... and a woman (she had to be nearly 80) put her hand on my shoulder and said....
"honey, don't worry, Grandmothers are living proof that mothers survive!"

That's funny!

LOL!!! That is too funny! I love it!

Rainbow, you are a gift to your granddaughter! Not many Grandmothers would do that for them! God Bless you

It is because my daughter was not quite 16 and I was determined that all my kids would graduate.

That is a wonderful thing, that even at 7 she would consider adopting!

That's funny!

(I really didn't have the heart to tell her that my mom passed when I was 11) I just smiled, and remembered my grand mothers!

Bragging right now...the other day I was having back problems...out of no where my little Elena, who is 7, came up to me, put her hand on my back and started praying for my back...I am blessed!

Ad Gaffes


Cracking an international market is a goal of most growing corporations. It shouldn't be that hard, yet even the big multi-nationals run into trouble because of language and cultural differences. Witness these advertising bombs.
•Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American ad campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux."
•The name Coca-Cola in China was first rendered as Ke-kou-ke-la. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax" depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent, "ko-kou-ko-le," which can be loosely translated as "happiness in the mouth."
•In Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" came out as "Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead."
•Also in Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan "finger-lickin' good" came out as "eat your fingers off."
•The American slogan for Salem cigarettes, "Salem - Feeling Free," got translated in the Japanese market into "When smoking Salem, you feel so refreshed that your mind seems to be empty."
•When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova in South America, it was apparently unaware that "no va" means "it won't go." After the company figured out why it wasn't selling any cars, it renamed the car in its Spanish markets as the Caribe.
•When Parker Pen marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to say "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." However, the company mistakenly thought the Spanish word "embarazar" meant embarrass. Instead the ads said that "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant."
•An American t-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of the desired "I Saw the Pope" in Spanish, the shirts proclaimed "I Saw the Potato."
•In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into Schweppes Toilet Water.
