No mood for jokes today

Something horrible happened this tuesday in São Paulo. I know I wasn't there and tecnically had nothing to do with it, but I didn't want to let it go as if it didn't happen:

Avião bate em depósito da TAM em Congonhas

Um avião da TAM que transportava 176 pessoas sofreu um acidente quando pousava em Congonhas na noite desta terça. A aeronave, um airbus A320, derrapou na pista, atravessou a avenida Washington Luiz e se chocou contra um posto de combustíveis de bandeira Shell e um depósito de cargas da própria TAM. O acidente causou um grande incêndio, e o fogo consome o depósito, que fica na rua Otávio Tarquino de Souza, perto do aeroporto.O prédio corre risco de desabamento e a Eletropaulo cortou o fornecimento de energia da região.




This headline is from a newspaper and it says a plane with 176 people had an accident while arriving in Congonhas(the airport),it couldn't brake and hit a building, exploding and causing a big fire.
I feel bad about this tragedy and sad when I think about the families of the people who were in the plane or working in the building.It shocked the whole country and it is hard to talk about
accidents because it's no one's fault but everyone feels guilty about it.

Lazy or Bored? ; )

This is what I call lazy holidays! I haven't been doing anything but organizing papers and filling forms about the Canada trip and talking a lot but A LOT, and typing too ;)I Had to stop taking pictures for a while because my camera is not working and it's been raining for a week, but maybe when I get my camera fixed I will try to take "wet" pictures anyway :).

July 11th was my brother's birthday and he wanted a yokel style party!It was really funny, with all those tradicional clothes and food. I was the only one with no costume^^

What's for dinner?

A concerned husband goes to see the family doctor and says, "I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time I say something, in fact, I often have to repeat things over and over again."
"Well," the doctor replies, "go home and tonight and stand about 15 feet from her and say something. If she doesn't reply, move about five feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this so we can get an idea about the severity of her deafness."
Sure enough, the husband goes home and does exactly as instructed. He starts off about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen and as she is chopping some vegetables, he says, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
He gets no response. He moves about five feet closer and asks again. No reply. He moves five feet closer. Still no reply. He gets fed up and moves right behind her, about an inch away, and asks again, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
She replies, "For the fourth time, vegetable stew!"

A joke to start with...

At the post office...
In the post office, there is a man whose job it is to prosses all the mail that has illegible addresses.Just before Christmas he saw a letter, addressed in shaky handwriting, to God.He decided to read it:
Dear God,
I'm an 83-year-old widow, living on a very small pension.Yesterday someone stole my purse, with 100 pounds in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension cheque.Next Monday is Christmas, and I have invited two friends over for dinner.Without that money,I have nothing to buy food with.I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope.Can you please help me?
Sincerely, Edna Jones
The man was touched, and showed the letter to his fellow workers.Each one of them came up with a few pounds, and, by the time he had gone round them all, he had collected 96 pounds, which he put in an envelope and sent to the woman.All of the workers felt a warm glow for the kind thing they had done. In the New Year, another letter came from the old lady, to God. All of the workers gathered round while the letter was opened.It read:
Dear God,
How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends.We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there were 4 pounds missing.I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the post office.
