WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?""Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time."
The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says........ .."HEBREWS"
THE SILENT TREATMENT
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight..Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."Men are not equipped for this kind of contest. God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.
SEND THIS TO SMART WOMEN WHO NEED A LAUGH AND TO MEN YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT!
This must leave your hands in 6 MINUTES. Otherwise you will get a very unpleasant surprise. This is true, even if you are not superstitious, agnostic, or otherwise faith impaired.
ONE.
Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, "I love you ," mean it
FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurtbut it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE.Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson!
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

Lopez Lomong, Sudanese Track Star claimed he was slaved by SPLA
Tue Sep 18, 2007 11:35 pm
Question for those who experienced bush, did SPLA kidnapped young children as it is being run in the media? The post was in HBO/Real Sport Show this evening Sep 18, 07- started from 10pm to 11pm. Lomong claimed in some of an emotional story about how he was kept in a building with no windows, slaved and was given a little food until he fled to Kenya.
I thought that these stories were made up for immigration reasons, to come to America, but not to pursue it, unless if he really suffered from that and wanted to get pay back.

Sudanese track star travels to Kenya to meet Mom

Categories: sudanese track star
Sudanese track star Joseph Lopepe "Lopez'' Lomong leaves for Kenya Sunday to be reunited with his mother he thought was dead. He will also meet two brothers for the first time.
His trip is sponsored by HBO 's Real Sports program with Bryant Gumbel. The show is doing a documentary about Lopez who has had a successful track career since he arrived in the United States in 2001.
Lopez, an NCAA track star, will be reunited with his mother in Juja, a town less than two hours from Nairobi, Kenya's capital.
His journey began in 1991, when he was separated from his family at age 6.
Lopez, now 22, was separated from his family in Southern Sudan when a group of soldiers took he and about 20 other children. The family were attending a Catholic Mass in the village of Boya when a group of soldiers stormed.
The children were loaded in covered pickup trucks, blindfolded and taken to military prison.He never saw his parents again.
Lopez is one of the 3,800 young men commonly known as the "Lost Boys.'' They spent much of their lives on the run, fleeing war, famine, slavery and living in refugees camps in neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia.
He spent 10 years in the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya before he found a home in Central New York in 2001. He's one of six "Lost Boys'' taken in by Robert and Barbara Rogers of Otisco Lake.
Lopez's track career began at Tully High School where he starred in track and cross country, winning a state championship in the 1,600 meters and cross country.
He's one of one of the fastest college distance runners in the country. In June, he won the 1,500 meters at the NCAA track and field competition, representing Northern Arizona University.
He also advanced through the preliminary round of the 800 meters at the U.S. track and field championships, finishing third.
Lopez became a United States citizen July. His goal is to represent the United States in the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing.

SPLA Reserved
Mon Sep 17, 2007 6:38 am
Let us create an Army Reserved. We can collect number of people who are ready to fight and I can be a help on logistic, intelligence, data base or any software that can make it happen. If you are ready to do that, please reply to me and I will privately talk to you on how we can do it.
Count me as a first soldier; you are not going or will ever going to give me any “Intibah” though.
I will give you my numbers when you agree to do that. I have your phones anyways, but let me know that you can do that as a commander of the project.
Hey man lets do it regardless
Peace

Cold War in Sudan
Wed Sep 12, 2007 12:33 am
With our concerns, I greet you all.
It is obvious that it is a time to discuss the relationship between the SPLM/GoSS and its partner the NCP with the other superpowers in the wake of the Cold War that has started in 2005 when the plane as usual killed the first vise president, Dr. Garang. SPLM/GoSS is in a position now to exert hegemonic control over extending World Society more than any party in Sudan, and to invite a global war against terrorism powers and a collaboration of goals and interests. Intelligence is crucially needed.
For NCP, after the death of Dr. Garang, it may seem a great opportunity to shape history forever. For us and more accurately, it is a moment of great temptation. South Sudan’s status is not as lonely as it seems. We have had a great run without Dr. Garang and I believe we will continue to do so. I remember one of Garang intentions that emphasizes "going to Khartoum", he did not mean that we ended the war, but we moved the war to Khartoum. With all that, I am more interested in taking the war to be a cold one before getting to the worming of that core of inflammations. Inelegance is crucially needed.
With that in mine, I highly recommend that President Salva Kiir should not ever complained in an environment that could take him to public media, Pagan should never complain also and so of Yasir. Let the lower official handle all of that, for example: instead of Salva saying that our army personnel were humiliated, let Koul Dim say it, and on the same run it will be heard. Instead of Yasir saying that the action of police colonel or what ever his rank might be, humiliated our SPLM party, let director or managers of SPLM office say that. All what we need to do is to bring the media and choose who to speak. When we speak, we speak to kill. Not just we go out there and fight with our top leaders with little guys that were sent. What we need to do is work hard immediately on offending the NCP. For example: put thousands and thousands of SPLA artillery battalions with a very clear understanding in Bantiew/Unity States and make them moving around twenty four hours, armed and dangerous, but not with top guns, let it be hidden agenda. They should also be moving at list twenty people at the time. They should also be all over the area market, allies even Arandait where soldiers usually want to go look for women, around the clock. Let them then even do their home work to guess what is in our minds. At the same time let us be ready for it, but with caution and it should be a well diagnosed mater and finalized by the C-in-C. Again, intelligence is crucially needed.
Dear all,
I have so much to say but let me not exhaust the opportunity that I have. What I want to see is that I admit that we are in war, but we should turn it to a cold war that has some flames and that is only possible if we have a high standard of intelligence.
God bless you and our strength is in SPLM.

Bashir's Intentions/SPLM Troubled Discrimination in Khartoum
Sat Sep 15, 2007 12:08 am
In 2004, when Sudan Radio Service was established to educate New Sudan people about the peace process, some senators thought that Khartoum government deliberately delayed the process in times of elections. Senators thought that Khartoum wanted to buy time so that if George Bush did not come back, then the whole deal would be squashed and people will more likely continue in war. This is exactly what is happening again, George Bush is going to go and that is why Khartoum and all Arab powers, such as Osama who started to talk, are now pushing the agenda again. Even though they are still buying the time, they can utilize the war at anytime; they can shot down SPLM offices at a day light time. Who is going to help? Bush is leaving. That is why now activities are popping up little by little. You can see that through the reinforcement in rich oil areas in Sudan. You can also know their planning, and I assume it is to kill SPLM senior officers so that we remain with inexperience ones. We will have no countries to refuge and seek help, just like how they forced Riak Machar, and we will have no choice but to live as second “if they offered new policies” or third citizens again. Someone asked me before in DC, Giir do you believe in this crab (CPA). Few days letter Dr. John Garang died. I kept that in the back of mind until today.
The threat that they are doing now to Salva, is to cooperate or die and still get some else. You know who the ones on the way are.
All of what I said can be some fantasies, but should we write letters, let us also think about making a two nights vigilant in Washington, DC, just to ask them to save the CPA and also to let them think about us after Bush leaves. It will harm us nothing but momentum.
Khartoum government does not care whether we stand and make noise, which will do nothing at all, or go back to war, they are well prepare since the beginning of the whole thing. Let us really do something extraordinary, something that can have future beside the letters. I am not saying that let us stop letters, but make letters more sufficient by offering them in hand in the vigilant. Let the other countries such as England, Australia, Canada and Northern Europe do the same.
Let us plan for the vigilant, let all SPLM chapters support that and send their delegations with their crafts or any symbols. Let us make Friday and Saturday days and night on either Capitol Hill or white House before Salva Kiir arrives, so that when he comes, he follows up what we made.
Please, I know what I am saying, let us do that. Send your support, come one, come all. Please continue to write the letter and let us have it for the vigilant also.
Let us also be specific on violations of the CPA.
We can arrange that with SPLM Washington, DC office to organize it well, if they agreed. I woould also hope that they send us their support in advance.

Question About Minister Aleu’s SPLM membership
Thu Aug 30, 2007 10:02 pm
To answer some American Friend, can someone come up with some conclusion/prediction or some latest developments on Minister Aleu’s dismissal?
Minister Aleu’s abrupt exit from National Unity Government was a disappointment to some, not necessarily because he was leaving, but in disgrace he is intent on much more, and his art is as uncompromising as his recent character. However, the question remains; will he still be an SPLM member after this damage? Though infinitely more complex, do anyone knows what are SPLM leadership’s connotations for this incident?
I will appreciate the time that you put into this mater.
