That was all fine and good, until the final question was asked. “Don’t cry because it ended. ____ because it happened.” Okay, all you Mad Libs and Match Game ’73 fans, I’m sure you can come up with a better response than the true answer… that being said, I’ve heard that quotation before. And I had no idea Dr. Seuss said it. And if he did say that… well, the operative word is “if.” And that’s what this blog post is about. I’ve heard that “Smile because it happened” quotation a lot more these days. It’s often used as a thematic bandage, an effort to remember the good times when you’re stuck in the bad times. Hey, did your car break down? Be thankful you had a car. Life sucks? Be thankful you have a life. The reason I even remember that quotation is because it’s also used in the dating world as an “all-purpose dumping” quote. It’s the quasi-shorthand of, “Hey, I’m breaking up with you, but here’s a quote from Dr. Seuss, the guy who wrote all those great children’s books. And you know what? These words from Dr. Seuss describe our relationship. I’m dumping you, but you should be happy you even got to spend SOME time with me, but I’m moving on to better things. Better things than you. So have a good life.” And now I’ve found out who said that infernal statement. All that’s left for me to do now is to find which one of Dr. Seuss’s many books contains this quotation. I want to know which text and in what context were these words used. Because if this little quotation actually CAME from one of Theodore Geisel’s books… The Cat in the Hat? Nope. Not there. Green Eggs and Ham? I find it’s not in here, Sam I am. The Lorax? Don’t see it. Lots of trees, but no quotation like this. Oh, the Places You’ll Go! doesn’t have that phraseology. The Butter Battle Book? Okay, Chuck, now you’re going for the deep stuff. Daisy-Head Maizie ? And now we’re going to the posthumous stuff. But no matter how hard I looked, searched, dug, excavated, dynamited, whatever… I couldn’t find the quote in any of his texts. The Grinch never said it. Neither did Yertle the Turtle, neither did Horton the Elephant, neither did Marvin K. Mooney, neither did Bartholomew Cubbins, whether it was with his 500 hats or with the Oobleck. Heck, I thought maybe it would appear in one of Dr. Seuss’s old advertising campaigns, but all I could find in that vein was “Quick Henry, the Flit!”</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Girl Smile]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/GirlSmile/i-smile-because</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/GirlSmile/i-smile-because</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 09 Nov 2024 09:28:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Good Quotes about smiling</title> <description>Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.

Woohoo! I came by Smiles again today and got the same impeccable service that left me with a gigantic smile (see what I did there?) I came on a Tuesday around 9:00AM, so shoutout to the two dudes who were working at that time. I ordered my hot vanilla latte with a sesame bagel and cream cheese. Got a stamp card this time-if you buy 10, you get a free drink of your choice-any kind, any size. Bam! This time, I came with a friend to do some work, so we sat down at one of their oh-so-spacious tables. Server brings out our food again-I get my steaming hot bagel and a hot vanilla latte shortly afterwards. The vanilla latte, as usual, is delicious. It might even be more delicious than the one I had the first time I came here (more caffeinated, a hint of vanilla, a lot of *slurp* followed by an immediate, "Ahhh.") BUT WAIT. HERE'S WHERE MY REVIEW GOES FROM A FOUR TO A FIVE STAR. The bagel this time was exquisite. It was bready, chewy, and just a bit toasted to give it the perfect crisp. No severely burned parts this time. Sesame seeds on top gave it a roasted, cozy taste. OMG YUM. Server brought out an extra cream cheese thingy for me, too, which put a huge smile on my face (again.) Went back to order a vanilla latte to go for my friend, and they brought it out to me with a little stopper to make sure it didn't spill all over my hands while I ran to class. Gave it to my friend (who is a vanilla latte fanatic just as bad as I am) and she agreed it was SO, SO tasty.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Make You Smile]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/MakeYouSmile/the-smile-cafe</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/MakeYouSmile/the-smile-cafe</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Sep 2024 07:34:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Girls Smile Quotes</title> <description>Smile Quotes And Sayings Biography Source(google.com.pk) Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.

However, many of these services either offer low security (or, often, none at all) for end users or are too complicated to set up in order to be securely accessible by typical end users. Overcoming these limitations in security and usability offers the potential for future ground-breaking applications towards even better mobility and convergence of devices and end-user services. One of the motivating visions is to – globally, securely, and intuitively usably – substitute current wallets and key chains by suitable services and applications on mobile phones. This includes typical credit, debit, and store card functionality, secure and anonymous cash transactions, locking and unlocking doors and other resources, as well as passports, identity cards, licenses, and insurance cards. The goal of the Josef Ressel Center for User-friendly Secure Mobile Environments is the analysis of security issues in current and future mobile applications; the design, development, and evaluation of concepts, methods, protocols, and prototypical implementations for addressing them; and communication and co-ordination with industry partners and standardization organizations towards establishing globally accepted standards for secure, interoperable, mobile services. The proposed consortium covers the required expertise to pursue these research aims.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Girl Smile]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/GirlSmile/mobile-environments</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/GirlSmile/mobile-environments</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 21 Aug 2024 07:27:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Funny Quotes about friends</title> <description>Here you will find the funniest Happy Birthday wishes .

Check out this awesome collection of 100 funny birthday wishes and messages. Put a smile on your friends’ faces on the most important day of the year! Another year for your back means another year that won’t suck. Another year older, but unfortunately none wiser. On your special day, I wish you peace, love, insight, relaxation, fun, knowledge, romance, friendship… and all that stuff that doesn’t cost anything. Another year, another new place that aches. I made you a birthday cake to celebrate, but I couldn’t light the candles. It turns out the fire department requires a permit for bonfires. At least you’re not as old as you will be next year! Happy Birthday! Better to be over the ground than under it. Happy Birthday! Better to be over the hill than buried under it. Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest. Birthdays are like boogers. The more you have, the harder it is to breathe! Birthdays are nature’s way of telling us to eat more cake. Can you sniff all of these candles or should I call the fire department? In the bathroom? In the toilet? On your desk? On the fireplace? At 40, it is still a great achievement to remember where the car keys are! All the best! 1066, 1492, 1776, and…your birthday? The good news is that they aren’t teaching the date of your birth in history classes yet. The bad news is that means I don’t have the date memorized. Happy belated birthday! Is it getting hotter in here, or is it just all the candles on your cake? It has been scientifically proven that too many birthdays will kill you. It is older, but not better! Happy Birthday! Napoleon must have been in command since you were separated from your mother. It’s nice to be young, healthy and full of energy. Do you remember what that used to feel like? It’s proven that at the age 41 you start to lose your memory. We can only hope! It’s okay to light the candles on your birthday cake now; I’ve already alerted the fire department. Jack Benny said, “Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” But in your case, I think it matters; it matters a LOT! Just imagine the things you’d want to hear on your birthday and assume I said them. Happy Birthday! Last week, the candle factory burned down. Everyone just stood around and sang, ‘Happy Birthday!’ Like many women my age, I am 28 years old. Looking fifty is great – if you’re sixty. May you live as long as you want to, and want to as long as you live. May you live to be old and toothless. Men age like wine, women age like cheese. My birthday gift to you is the call to the fire department when you blow out your candles. You’re welcome! My friend got me a fossil. It reminded me of someone who has a birthday today. Three guesses who! No wise man ever wished to be any younger than he was. Old enough to know better…young enough to still do it. On your birthday, here are some words of wisdom: smile while you still have teeth! Congratulations! One more year of existence down the drain. Happy Birthday! People say that the good die young, so I guess that’s make you an old bad ass! Pope John XXIII thought that men are like wine. Some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age. And I’m sitting here, trying to figure out whether you want vanilla or strawberry in your ice-cream. Happy 50th Birthday! Recently I found out which sport you would have been best at. Guess what? It’s the reason so many people came to your place. Remember when 50 seemed old? If you weren’t so old, you would! Smile and laugh as much as you can while you still have teeth. Smile, it could be worse…think about what you’ll look like in ten years. Happy Birthday. So far, this is the oldest I have ever been. So many candles, such a small cake. Next year, may your birthday wish be a bigger cake. So...</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Smile Quotes]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileQuotes/funny-quotes-about-friends</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileQuotes/funny-quotes-about-friends</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 01 Aug 2024 07:22:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Make Happy</title> <description>Gina Rodriguez looks Spring ready as she attends the #KiplingMakeHappy event held at a college campus on Thursday (April 30) in Los Angeles.

The 30-year-old actress is the brand’s new ambassador and helped launch the #KiplingMakeHappy campaign, which reminds people that happiness can happen anywhere, anytime. “Originally when I was brought the idea of this campaign my internal pull was because of the movement Kipling had presented ‘Make Happy.’” Gina said in a statement. “Now being involved and watching the love this beautiful brand has spread and will continue to spread it surpassed my expectations. Today was magical. And if every huge brand did something along these lines I think their power could go to some amazing use. And the love will continue to be reciprocated and spread throughout. The honor and pleasure truly was all mine.”</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Make You Smile]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/MakeYouSmile/make-happy</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/MakeYouSmile/make-happy</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Jul 2024 07:18:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Funny smiling Quotes</title> <description>Ariel Winter, best known for her role as Alex Dunphy on ABC’s Modern Family, is a talented actress who, at only 16 years old, has already achieved great success.

Dunphy made her first television appearance in a Cool Whip commercial when she was six years old and has since moved on to snag several other TV roles. Winters has also leant her voice to several films including Ice Age: The Meltdown, Over the Hedge, and ParaNorman. While most people will know Winter for her versatile acting ability, she has also proven that she is a sweet girl with a quirky sense of humor who can make people smile with ease . Here is a list of Ariel Winter’s funniest quotes. 5. “That moment when you struggle to open the door to the gym and you try to justify it by saying you’re just tired….” Ariel Winter sent this tweet out after being so exhausted that even a task as simple as opening a door became difficult to complete. 4. “If I go on dates, my mom is always with me. She’s always there making sure I’m all right. Like if I go to see a movie with a boy, she’ll go to dinner next door.” Throughout Winter’s career, her relationship with her mother has undergone scrutiny after allegations of abuse which followed a custody battle. However, this quote shows a much more intact relationship between Winter and her mother. While this quote may seem heartfelt- it can also be read as a sarcastic jab at an overprotective mother. 3. “It’s really funny; Dora was kind of my inspiration. I was just watching TV and I was watching Dora and I thought, “Wow! I wanna go explore with them, ” and of course, my parents were like, “…That’s not really—that’s not really how it works, ” In an interview Winter explains that her inspiration for acting was the popular children’s cartoon character, Dora the Explorer. While Winter may not have gotten to explore with Dora and her crew, she has been lucky enough to use her voice to bring life to other cartoons. 2. “I took my contacts out, and heard a buzzing. There’s a fly in my room, and I can’t see it. #canwenot”</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Smile Quotes]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileQuotes/funny-smiling-quotes</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileQuotes/funny-smiling-quotes</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 22 Jun 2024 07:01:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Science and Math Activities</title> <description>By Phil Nast, retired middle school teacher and freelance writer The Science and Math Informal Learning Educators (SMILE) website is a national partnership among science and technology centers, museums, community-based ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/fizz_pop_bang_playful_science_and.jpg" alt="Playful math and science" align="left" /><p>By Phil Nast, retired middle school teacher and freelance writer The Science and Math Informal Learning Educators (SMILE) website is a national partnership among science and technology centers, museums, community-based organizations, and out-of-school educators and a resource of the National Science Digital Library (NSDL). SMILE’s mission is to make science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) exciting and engaging for all learners. SMILE requires a free registration. Teachers and students can search 2, 733 (and growing) math and science lessons and activities by general search term or use an advanced search function to narrow a search by subject, grade (K-12 and older) and age range, resource type, language (27), standards, assessments, materials costs, learning time, diversity considerations, and more. A new function lets users search by chemical. The site provides a section called Ideas for Teaching Chemistry. SMILE is a growing website, and users are invited to suggest their own favorite web-based learning resources. In addition, users can follow the site blog and sign up to receive a newsletter. A free iPhone APP is available too. Here are some representative resources. Quick Frozen Critters is an outdoor activity for grades 1-5 that teaches predator/prey relationships. In this variation of freeze tag, "prey" collect food tokens by moving from a food source and back to a shelter area. Meanwhile, “predators” try to tag prey. I first encountered this game when I attended Project Wild training and used it with my classes to help meet district physical education requirements. Incredible Shrinking Shapes is a hands-on math activity for grades 6-8 . Students measure area and volume and calculate ratios and work with ratios and scaling as they make jewelry from recycled plastic containers. lambda DNA Fingerprinting is for grades 9-12 and simulates how DNA fingerprinting (or DNA profiling) is used to solve a crime. The activity simulates two of the three steps of DNA fingerprinting: restriction of DNA sample and separation by electrophoresis. It does not use the third step, the radioactive probes.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Smile Train]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileTrain/science-and-math-activities</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileTrain/science-and-math-activities</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 02 Jun 2024 06:59:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Cleft palate Surgeries</title> <description>Causes Doctors don't always know why a baby develops cleft lip or cleft palate, but many clefts are thought to be a combination of genetic (inherited) and environmental factors (like certain medications or vitamin deficiencies) ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/arlington_hts_charity_helps_with_free.jpg" alt="Nithik Alladli from Shadnagar" align="left" /><p>Causes Doctors don't always know why a baby develops cleft lip or cleft palate, but many clefts are thought to be a combination of genetic (inherited) and environmental factors (like certain medications or vitamin deficiencies). Both mothers and fathers can pass on a gene or genes that cause cleft palate or cleft lip. Clefts happen more often in children of Asian, Latino, or Native American descent. Taking certain medicines (such as some anti-seizure medications) during pregnancy can increase a woman's chances of having a baby with a cleft lip or palate. Similarly, moms who don't get the right amount of prenatal nutrients (for example, not enough folic acid) may increase their baby's risk of having a cleft. A mother's exposure to certain chemicals also may cause a cleft. Women who smoke cigarettes, use drugs, or drink alcohol during pregnancy also increase their baby's risk for birth defects. Research has shown that moms who binge drink (drinking four or more drinks in a short period of time) during the first weeks of pregnancy have a higher risk of having a baby with a facial birth defect like a cleft lip or cleft palate. Related Health Problems As you might imagine, cleft lip and cleft palate can affect many actions of the mouth and face. Children born with cleft lip or cleft palate might have issues related to their feeding, hearing, teeth, and speech. Feeding Problems Babies with just a cleft lip don't usually have feeding problems. But when the palate is involved, feeding can be a bigger challenge. Normally, the palate prevents food and liquids from entering the nose. A cleft palate causes babies to swallow a lot of air and regurgitate food into the nose. It also makes it harder for babies to latch on and suck during breastfeeding or bottle feeding. As a result, a baby with a cleft palate may need a special nipple and bottle to receive pumped breast milk or formula. Breastfeeding moms might want to talk with a lactation consultant, who can offer more guidance and suggestions. Babies with feeding issues should be seen regularly by a doctor to make sure that they're gaining weight well. Middle Ear Fluid Buildup and Hearing Loss Many children with cleft palate are at risk for fluid buildup in the middle ear. This fluid can't pass through the Eustachian (yoo-STAY-shun) tube as it should, which can lead to ear infections and even hearing loss. So kids with cleft palate usually need ear tubes placed in their eardrums to help drain the fluid and improve hearing. Kids with cleft palate should have their ears and hearing checked once or twice a year, or more if they are having hearing problems. Dental Problems Children with a cleft lip and palate often have dental problems. These can include small teeth, missing teeth, extra teeth (called supernumerary), or teeth that are out of position. They may have a defect in the gums or alveolar ridge (the bone that supports the teeth). Ridge defects can displace, tip, or rotate permanent teeth or prevent permanent teeth from coming in properly.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Smile Quotes]]></category> <link>https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileQuotes/cleft-palate-surgeries</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.funnydumper.com/SmileQuotes/cleft-palate-surgeries</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 13 May 2024 06:56:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> </channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
