Hi David,

Posterous launched in 2008. Our mission was to make it easier to share photos and connect with your social networks. Since joining Twitter almost one year ago, we’ve been able to continue that journey, building features to help you discover and share what’s happening in the world – on an even larger scale.

On April 30th, we will turn off posterous.com and our mobile apps in order to focus 100% of our efforts on Twitter. This means that as of April 30, Posterous Spaces will no longer be available either to view or to edit.

Right now and over the next couple months until April 30th, you can download all of your Posterous Spaces including your photos, videos, and documents.

Here are the steps:

• Go to http://posterous.com/#backup.
• Click to request a backup of your Space by clicking “Request Backup” next to your Space name.
• When your backup is ready, you'll receive an email.
• Return to http://posterous.com/#backup to download a .zip file.

If you want to move your site to another service, WordPress and Squarespace offer importers that can move all of your content over to either service. Just remember: you need to back up your Spaces by April 30.

We’d like to thank the millions of Posterous users who have supported us on our incredible journey. We hope to provide you with as easy a transition as possible, and look forward to seeing you on Twitter. Thank you.

Sachin Agarwal, Founder and CEO

Romantic Wife

A wife ,being the romantic sort,sent her husband a text: if you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you! The husband, being a normal man, replied, "I am on the toilet, what should I do?

Italian Fire Department

One dark night in a small town of Roselle    Park , New Jersey a fire started inside the local sausage factory. In a blink the building was engulfed in flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around.   When the first fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausage company   president rushed to the fire chief and said, 'All of our secret sausage   recipes are in the vault in the center of the plant. They have to be saved, s o I will donate $50,000 to the fire company that brings them out and delivers them to me.'   But   the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire departments had to be called in because the situation became desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president announced that   the offer to extricate the secret recipes was now $100,000!   Suddenly from up the road, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came   into sight. It was the fire engine of the nearby Peterstown section of Elizabeth , NJ . This fire department was composed mainly of Italian firefighters over the   age of 65.   To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated by these Italian   firefighters, passed fire engines parked outside the   plant, and drove straight into the middle of the inferno!   Outside,   the other firemen watched in amazement as the Italian old timers jumped off and began   to fight the fire as if they were fighting   to save their own lives. Within a short time, the old   timers had extinguished the fire and saved the secret recipes.   The grateful sausage company president joyfully announced that for such a superhuman   accomplishment he was raising the reward to $200,000,   and walked over to personally thank each of the   brave elderly Italian firefighters.   A TV news crew rushed in after capturing the event on film. The 'on camera' reporter asked the   Italian fire chief, 'What are you going to do with all that money?'   'Wella,' said Chief Pasquale De Luccinelli, the 70-year-old fire chief, 'de fursta tinga we   gonna do isza fixa de brakes on dat fockinna truck!!'

This is hilarious

I don't care if it's true or not, it's too good not to pass on,

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW THIS LITTLE TIDBIT OF TRIVIA.... � ON JULY 20, 1969, AS COMMANDER OF THE APOLLO 11 LUNAR MODULE, NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO SET FOOT ON THE MOON. � HIS FIRST WORDS AFTER STEPPING ON THE MOON, "THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND," WERE TELEVISED TO EARTH AND HEARD BY MILLIONS.* � BUT JUST BEFORE HE RE-ENTERED THE LANDER, HE MADE THE ENIGMATIC REMARK - "GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY." � MANY PEOPLE AT NASA THOUGHT IT WAS A CASUAL REMARK CONCERNING SOME RIVAL SOVIET COSMONAUT.� HOWEVER, UPON CHECKING, THERE WAS NO GORSKY IN EITHER THE RUSSIAN OR AMERICAN SPACE PROGRAMS . � OVER THE YEARS, MANY� PEOPLE QUESTIONED ARMSTRONG AS TO WHAT THE - 'GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY' STATEMENT MEANT, BUT ARMSTRONG ALWAYS JUST SMILED. � ON JULY 5, 1995, IN TAMPA BAY , FLORIDA , WHILE ANSWERING QUESTIONS FOLLOWING A SPEECH, A REPORTER BROUGHT UP THE 26-YEAR-OLD QUESTION ABOUT Mr GORSKY TO ARMSTRONG. � THIS TIME HE FINALLY RESPONDED BECAUSE MR. GORSKY HAD DIED, SO NEIL ARMSTRONG FELT HE COULD NOW ANSWER THE QUESTION. HERE IS THE ANSWER TO "WHO WAS MR GORSKY": � IN 1938, WHEN HE WAS A KID IN A SMALL MID-WESTERNTOWN , HE WAS PLAYING BASEBALL WITH A FRIEND IN THE BACKYARD. HIS FRIEND HIT THE BALL, WHICH LANDED IN HIS NEIGHBOR'S YARD BY THEIR BEDROOM WINDOW. � HIS NEIGHBORS WERE MR. AND MRS. GORSKY. AS HE LEANED DOWN TO PICK UP THE BALL, YOUNG ARMSTRONG HEARD MRS. GORSKY SHOUTING AT MR. GORSKY, � "SEX! YOU WANT SEX?! YOU'LL GET SEX WHEN THE KID NEXT DOOR WALKS ON THE MOON!" � It broke the place up. � NEIL ARMSTRONG'S FAMILY CONFIRMED THIS IS A TRUE STORY. � Do pass it on, it's too choice not to be shared

Frozen Skunk

A man and his wife were driving home one very cold North Dakota night,

when the wife asks her husband to stop the car. There was a baby skunk

lying on the side of the road and she got out to see if it was still alive.
 
It was and she said to her husband, “It’s nearly frozen to death. Can we

take it with us, get it warm and let it go in the morning?”
 
He says, “O.K., Get in the car with it.”
 
She asks, “Where shall I put it to get it warm?”

He says, “Put it in between your legs. It’s nice and warm there.”
 
She inquires, “…but what about the smell?”
 
He responds, “Just hold its little nose.”
 
The man is expected to recover!  However, the skunk she used to beat him

with, died at the scene....

More Than 100%

This is highly illogical and there is no such thing as more than 100%.

Dave

This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience. It has an indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud. This is a strictly ..... mathematical viewpoint.. and it goes like this:

What Makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MOREthan 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.

How about achieving 103%?

What makes up 100% in life? 

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: 

If: 

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 

Is represented as: 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. 

Then: 

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And 

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% 

But ,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% 

And, 

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 

2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103% 

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you. 

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 

1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118% 

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there. 

Its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.  Now you know why some people are where they are!
