The Lotus Touts.

Post 576 ~ ~ ~ Saturday, 21st February, 2009.

Hello my Friends ~~ I hope all is well with you wherever you are in this wonderful world of ours. All OK here at present, although more bad conditions for fires are predicted for Friday next. It was suggested they would be as bad as Black Saturday a fortnight ago and
as bad as Black Friday in 1939. I do hope they are very wrong this time.

It has been pleasant weather under 30 C or just over lately which is about 86 F . Has
anyone noticed how quickly February is passing? (Sorry Robyn.) Last night I watched my
football team have a good win over the Kangaroos in a Pre-season match. Only about a
month until the season proper stars. I like my footy. That is AFL -Aust Football League.

My first article tonight was sent to me by my niece Vicki. It is called "The Lotus Touts."
Thank you so much Vicki. I hope you are feeling some improvement in your health.

1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

2. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills
will be as important as any other.

3. Don't believe all you hear, or spend all you have or sleep all you want.

4. When you say 'I love you', mean it.

5. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.

6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

7. Believe in love at first sight.

8. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

9. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.

10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

11. Don't judge people by their relatives.

12. Talk slowly but think quickly.

13. When someone asks you a question you don't wat to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"

14. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

15. Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.

16. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

17. Remember the three Rs, Respect for self, Respect for others, and Responsibility for all your actions.

18. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

19. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

20. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

21. Spend some time alone.

A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart,

Ramblings of a Retired Mind --Sent by my dear friend Patty. Thanks.

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped to their belt or purse. I can't afford one, so I'm wearing the garage door opener.

I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have got what they call blue teeth, I think.

You know I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people
didn't like me anyway.

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.

I know when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, do you have a cat?"
Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company."

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency."
I think you should write, "A Good Doctor."

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then it dawned on me, they were cramming for their finals. As for me, I'm just
hoping God grades on the curve.

A man and his wife walked into a dentist's surgery.
The man said to the dentist, "Doc, I'm in a hell of a hurry. I have two buddies sitting out in my care waiting for us to go play golf, so forget about the anaesthetic, just pull the tooth and be done with it. We have a 10.00 am tee off time at the best golf course in town. I don't have time to wait for the anaesthetic to work. It's 9.30 already. anything to kill the pain. "What tooth is it, sir" The man turned to his wife and said, "Open your mouth, darling, and show him."

One night, after a couple had retired for the night, the woman became aware that her husband was touching her is a most unusual manner. He started by putting his hand across her shoulders and the small of her back. He ran his hands over her breasts, touching them very lightly. Then he proceeded to run his hand gently down her side, sliding his hand over her stomach and then down the other side to a point below her waist.

He continued on, gently feeling her hips, first one side and then the other.
His hand ran further down the outside of her thighs. His gentle probing, then started on the inside of her left thigh and then returned to the inside of her right thigh.

By this time, the woman was becoming aroused and then the man stopped abruptly and rolled over to his side of the bed.
"Why are you stopping, darling?" she whispered.

He whispered back, "I found the remote.

Have to close as my eyes won't stay open. Take care, my friends and be kind to each other. My love and best wishes to you all. Cheers, Merle.
