 : Why Men are Seldom Depressed!!!!

    narcissism - Give of your SELF to others. 

Men Are Just Happier People -- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all theirs. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. One mood all the time (if they remember to take their medications) Phone conversations are over in 30seconds A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, He or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives On December 24 in 26 minutes. NICKNAMES · If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. · If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman .. EATING OUT · When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. · When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. MONEY · A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. · A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. BATHROOMS · A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel. · The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337.  A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. ARGUMENTS · A woman has the last word in any argument. · Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. FUTURE · A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. · A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. MARRIAGE · A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. · A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does. DRESSING UP · A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. · A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. CHILDREN · Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. · A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing! No wonder men are happier. Send this to the women who can handle it And to the men who will enjoy reading it. Men Are Just Happier People

Hamilton Grade School ~~~ Class of 1934 ~~~ Public Library Fund-Raiser

This fundraisers was headed by Lee R. Christensen and his committee to raise funds which were ultimately used for shelving that was badly needed at the library.  Lee's sense of humor particularly in the post script pages show his natural ability to unite his class in a great cause.

Farnworth Family Reunion July 15, 1915 ~ Yellowstone Park ~ sent in by Richard E. Jackson

The history behind these two pictures is:  The George Farnworth Family Reunion first met on 15 July, 1915 in Ashton, Idaho.  and after several days of family reunion fun and activities they all got into their wagons and headed for Yellowstone Park.  The larger picture is of the group resting along the trail on their way to the Park.  The smaller picture was taken at the Park.  I will also send you a third picture with them on the trail in their buggies heading to the Park, and fourth picture of their camp.  I have several more pictures that were taken on this 1915 Farnworth Reunion trip to Yellowstone Park.  Many of the Farnworth family in these pictures were born or lived in Mt. Pleasant, Utah.

Deena Sutton posted two pictures on the Relic Home Blog.  I have attached the pictures with the names that I have identified.  I love your blog!
