every one has heard the statement "practice make perfect"

i disagree if one keeps practicing but he is doing it wrong the only thing he will make perfect is an inperfect task now on the other hand if we was to say

"perfect practice makes perfect' it would be correct!!!

A friend of mine wants to sell my house as she tells me it's too large for a single person. We talked about it on Friday and today (Monday) she turned up on my doorstep, with an estate agent.
She says it's for my own good and that I will be far better off in a small flat, but I am really happy living here in the countryside. Now she is telling me that I am just being selfish and difficult. She has helped me a lot after my brother died three years ago.
I feel she is taking over my life and as I am alone I need your good opinion?

I am always late on the new techie things. I know these have been around a few years. We thought they would be nice presents for great Grandmas. Even the ones without computers. What do you think? They are expensive by moderate standards. Would you buy one for yourself or like it for a gift?

I saw a very nice ceramic pot with lid for baked beans and I would love to buy it, but am afraid of lead. On the bottom, it says made in Taiwan. How can I tell if it is safe?

A professor at the University is giving a seminar on the supernatural.
To get a feel for his audience, he asks them, "How many folk here believe in ghosts?"

About 80 students raise their hands. "That's a good start," says the professor, "For those who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you've ever seen a ghost?"

About 40 students raise their hands.

"That's really good," continues the professor, "I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?"

15 students raise their hands.

"That's a great response," remarks the impressed professor, "has anyone here ever touched a ghost?"

3 students raise their hands.

"Brilliant. But let me ask you one question further...

Have any of you ever been intimate with a ghost?"

One of his students from a Redneck state raises his hand.

The professor is astonished. He takes off glasses, takes a step back, and says, "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed that.

You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." The redneck student replies with a nod and begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor asks, "Well, tell us what it's like to have made love to a ghost."

The student replies, "Ghost?!? Dang it!... I thought you said goats."

If you could go back and change anything financially (realistically) in the past 20 years of your life, what would you change and why?
This is for an assignment and my professor requires contact information to make sure we actually asked. If you'd put your age, name, and e-mail, I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks!!

A question was asked earlier on Seniors by a person questioning what to do with someone who spends too much time on YA and not enough time with their family. The asker then adds more info and accuses some of the people that answered of condoning child neglect, even though I'm sure they were not. In addition, he calls Eve T. "wierd" and Gladys "a nut case". This reminded me of a similiar situation when I recently answered a question. The asker called me "stupid", even though I gave what I thought was a good answer. I decided to ignore it, but seeing this made me wish I didn't. What would you have done?

My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was always around in my early years but less and less as time passed by until today I read his obituary. Please join me in a moment of silence in remembrance. For Common Sense had served us all so well for so many generations.

Obituary
Common Sense


Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm a Victim.

If so, where is it, what is it of, how long have you had it and have you ever regretted the decision to have it done?

I know it's an age thing so seniors only answer, please.
