Hello my friends, I hope all is well in your part of this

world of ours. All OK here. My visitor, Michelle has

arrived safely and we have enjoyed the day, She has

gone off to bed, as she has been so busy and is very

tired. She has sold her house, stored her furniture

settled all the business attached to that. Hopefully she

will feel brighter tomorrow.

Another oldie tonight, which I hope you will enjoy.

Children Learn What they Live.

If a child lives with criticism

He learns to condemn !

If a child lives with hostility

He learns to fight !

If a child lives with ridicule

He learns to be shy !

If a child lives with shame

He learns to feel guilty !

If a child lives with tolerance

He learns to be patient !

If a child lives with encouragement

He learns confidence !

If a child lives with praise

He learns to appreciate !

If a child lives with fairness

He learns justice !

If a child lives with security

He learns to have faith !

If a child lives with approval

He learns to like himself !

If a child lives with acceptance and friendship

He learns to find love in the world.

One day Bill complained to his friend that his elbow really

hurt. His friend suggested that he go to a computer at the

drug store that can diagnose anything quicker and cheaper

than a doctor.

“Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will

diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it.

It only costs $10.”

Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a

urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer,

he poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The machine

started making some noise, and various lights started flashing.

After a brief pause out popped a small slip of paper on which

was printed: “You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm

water. Avoid heavy lifting. It will be better in two weeks.”

Later that evening while thinking how amazing this new

technology was and how it could change medical science

forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled

He mixed together some tap water, a stool samle from his and

urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he

masturbated into the concoction. He went back to the drug

store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited

the $10. The machine made the usual noises and printed the

following message ; “Your tap water is too hard. Get a water

softener. Your dog has worms. Get him some vitamins. Your

daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehab clinic. Your

wife is pregnant with twin girls. They aren’t yours. Get a lawyer

Amd if you don’t stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never

get better.”

When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership

to pick up our csr, we were told that the keys had been locked

in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic

working feveishly to unlock the driver’s side door.

As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the

door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.

“Hey,” I announced to the technician, “It’s open !” To which he

replied, “I know – I already got that side.”

I live in a small rural area.. We recently had a new neighbor call

the local township administrative office to request the removal

of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason : too many

deer were being hit by cars”, and he didn’t want them crossing there anymore.

will never be untrue to you. For knowledge is your crown, and

understanding your staff; and when they are with you, you can

possess no greater treasure. - - - Kahlil Gibran.
