Some Rules For Daily Living.

October 17^th, 2006. - - - - - - Post 44.

Hi Folks ~ Another nice Spring day here in Victoria.

Michelle and I are enjoying our time together, as I

knew we would. My son John came after work and put

up a shade gazebo. A fabric top on 4 legs and I have

put a table and chairs in there, and it looks great.

So we plan to breakfast out there in the morning.

Tonight’s article is “Some rules for daily living.”

To talk with God each morning before I walk and talk

with man. To be strong in the presence of temptation,

awake in the presence of opportunity, open-hearted

to my neighbors, obedient to the calls of good conscience,

open minded to views of truth,

To make duty a joy, and work a pleasure. To work and not worry, to be energetic without being fussy. To be true to

myself, false to no one, and earnest to make a real life,

while trying to make a living.

To cherish friendships, and guard my confidences.

To be loyal to principle even at the loss of popularity.

To make no promises I do not mean to keep.

To be faithful to every honest obligation.

To be sweet tempered, charitable in my judgements,

discriminating in my adjectives. To honor no one simply

because he is rich, to despise no one simply because

he is poor. To be respectful, but not cringing, to the gteat,

gentle to the weak, helpful to the fallen, and courteus to all.

Men Are Just Happier People.

What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last

name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take

care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack.

You can be Prime Minister. You can never be pregnant.

You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.

You can wear NO shirt to the water park.

Car mechanics tell you the truth.

The world is your urinal.

You never have to drive to another service statiom, because the toilet at this one is just too icky.

You don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work more pay. Wrinkles add character.

Wedding dress $5000. Suit rental - $100.

People never stare at your chest when you’re talking to them.

The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.

New shoes don’t cut, blister or mangle your feet.

One mood all the time.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds.

You know stuff about cars.

A five-day trip requires only one suit-case.

You can open all your jars, You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.

You never need instruction booklets, they are for idiots and

females. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still

be your friend. You don’t have to worry about your belongings;

they have a way of getting to where they should be no matter

where you leave them.

Entertainment consists of a TV, a remote and three shows

all at once.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three pack.

Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.

You almost never have strap problems in public.

You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.

Everything on your face stays it’s original color.

The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.

You only have to shave your face and neck,

You can play with toys all your life.

Your belly usually hides your big hips.

One wallet and one pair of shoes, one color for all seasons.

You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.

You can “do” your nails with a pocket knifel

You have freedom of choice concerning growing a moustache.

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December

24^th in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.

I am struggling to keep awake, so will leave it at that for tonight. Take care, my friends, Merle.
