Lancecrossfire | Saturday, October 13, 2001 - 02:36 pm     You have reach a crossroads in your journey. Which way to go now, I think to myself. If I go left down this road there is a risk of death and destruction. A life edged with fear and high adventure and of course the possibility of total ruin, even death. But if I go right, my life will be as if I was to spend eternity alone in a glorious field of beautiful flowers whose aroma would forever remind me of only good things, pleasant things. It would be a safe and peaceful existence. I would know that no harm could ever come to me, ever. But would I be able to spend all time, eternity, in the safety of a place without the promise of a thrill, a kiss, a slap on the face or the sweet, sweet taste of revenge against those who did me wrong? I don't know. Which way would you go? Which road would you take? |

Zeyna | Saturday, October 13, 2001 - 03:18 pm     I'll follow Babyruth to the left |
Oregonfire | Saturday, October 13, 2001 - 03:44 pm     What about "middle of the road?" Guess you'd just get run over! |
Soeur | Saturday, October 13, 2001 - 03:51 pm     Well, I don't like the 'alone' part of the flowery field. That doesn't sound like much fun The road to the left mentions the RISK of death and destruction so I guess that must be the one we are all on, I'll stay here I would not be on the left one in order to taste revenge or get my face slapped though  |

Buttercup | Monday, October 22, 2001 - 03:16 pm     S M I L E A smile costs nothing, yet it's worth so much. It happens in a flash and the memory sometimes lasts forever. It cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, but it is something that is no earthly good to anyone, until it is given away. So, if in your hurry, or rush, you meet someone who is too weary to give you a smile, leave one of yours, for no one needs a smile so much as he who has none to give

Now the voice of fun Is the sound of children playing with a gun. With open minds we can open minds, But until I kneel down and open mine, I won't be able to... Look into the eyes of a child." |

Honey51 | Wednesday, October 31, 2001 - 11:41 am     It might not be a thought of the day, but because it's Halloween I think it's cute. Trick or Treat Smell my feet Give me something good to eat. If you don't I won't care I'll just pull down your underwear. |
Babyruth | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 09:12 pm     WHY CHOCOLATE IS BETTER THAN SEX 1) You can GET chocolate. 2) "If you love me you'll swallow that" has real meaning with chocolate. 3) Chocolate satisfies even when it has gone soft. 4) You can safely have chocolate while you are driving. 5) You can make chocolate last as long as you want it to. 6) You can have chocolate even in front of your mother. 7) If you bite the nuts too hard the chocolate won't mind. 8) Two people of the same sex can have chocolate without being called nasty names. 9) The word "commitment" doesn't scare off chocolate. 10) You can have chocolate on top of your workbench/desk during working hours without upsetting your co-workers. 11) You can ask a stranger for chocolate without getting your face slapped. 12) You don't get hairs in your mouth with chocolate. 13) With chocolate there's no need to fake it. 14) Chocolate doesn't make you pregnant. 15) You can have chocolate at any time of the month. 16) Good chocolate is easy to find. 17) You can have as many kinds of chocolate as you can handle. 18) You are never too young or too old for chocolate. 19) When you have great chocolate it doesn't keep your neighbors awake 20) With chocolate size doesn't matter. It's ALL good! |
Oregonfire | Sunday, November 04, 2001 - 11:31 am     This may not be a cheery, happy thought, but I haven't been in a cheery, happy mood anyway, and reading the following didn't help. I want other people's opinion about it: Bratty Kids Grow Up to Be the Best Bosses Scientists are giving parents the green light to raise a bratty kid--they'll make the best bosses as adults. "Spoiled children are generally more confident about themselves," says psychologist Serenella Salomoni of the Institute of Psychology in Rome, Italy. "They grow up with the idea that there is always a second chance for them, and that they can always ask more from people." Anyway, that's it, that the blurb. |
Babyruth | Sunday, November 04, 2001 - 11:42 am     Oh baloney- the "best" bosses are those that get along with and respect others and know how to encourage others to use their talents. The "most successful" bosses, however, are those that do little, take credit for stuff that's not theirs, and blame others for stuff that IS theirs, all without feeling too badly. Sorry, but that's my jaded outlook about those brats. (((((Oregonfire))))) Sorry you're feeling un-cheery |
Angelnikki | Sunday, November 04, 2001 - 11:50 am     i think that is total crap also. a bratty child just turns out to be an annoying adult. how could being bratty as a child make you a better boss? whoever came up with that logic??? |
Spygirl | Sunday, November 04, 2001 - 01:30 pm     Bratty children can be cut-throat, self-serving, take-no-crap, arrogant, entitled, narcisstic adults....so, if that is someone's definition of a good boss -- then they are absolutely right. |
Babyruth | Wednesday, November 07, 2001 - 01:57 pm     COWBOY WORDS OF WISDOM: *Never kick a fresh cowpile on a hot day. *Don't squat with your spurs on. *Don't never interfere with something that ain't botherin' you none. *If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. *Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. *Some ranchers raise pigs and some will even admit it. Either way, they're raisin' pigs. *The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm. The colder it gets, the harder it is to swaller. *Never smack a man who's chewin' tobacco. *If it don't seem like it's worth the effort, it probably ain't. *It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep. *The biggest liar you'll ever have to deal with probably watches you shave his face in the mirror every morning. *Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut. *If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around. *Don't worry about bitin' off more'n you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think. *Always drink upstream from the herd. *Generally, you ain't learnin' nothin' when your mouth is a-jawin'. *Tellin' a man to go to hell and makin' him do it are two entirely different propositions. *Generally speakin', fancy titles and nightshirts are a waste of time. *Trust everybody in the game, but always cut the cards. *If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. *After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: when you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. *Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly. *When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson. *There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works. *When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else. *Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back. *Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was. *The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket. *Never miss a good chance to shutup. |
Magikearth | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 06:53 pm     The following story is by Tim Hansel and it is from the book titled " Chicken Soup For The Unsinkable Soul." The Sound Of One Hand Clapping There's a wonderful story about Jimmy Durante,one of the greatest entertainers of a few generations ago.He was asked to be part of a show for World WarII veterans.He told them this schedule was very busy and he could afford only a few minutes,but if they wouldn't mind his doing one short monologue and immmediately leaving for his next appointment,he would come.Of course,the show's director agreed happily. But when Jimmy got on stage,something interesting happened.He went through the short monologue and then stayed.The applause grew louder and louder and he kept staying.Pretty soon,he had been on fifteen,twenty,then thirty minutes.Finally,he took a last bow and left the stage.Backstage,someone stopped him and said,"I thought you had to go after a few minutes.What happened?" Jimmy answered,"I did have to go,but I can show you the reason I stayed.You can see for yourself if you look at the front row." In the front row were two men,each of whom had lost an arm in the War.One had lost his right arm and the other had lost his left.Together,they were able to clap,and that's exactly what they were doing,loudly and cheerfully. |

Max | Friday, November 16, 2001 - 11:49 am     I wanna be a bear If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too. If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that. If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. I wanna be a bear. A friend sent this to me and I wanted to share it with you.  |
