Buttercup | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 12:31 pm     Sand & Stone A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE." They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE." The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?" The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But,when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it." LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Let your friends know that you'll never forget them.

Babyruth | Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 03:10 pm     DOG LETTERS TO GOD Dear God: How come people love to smell flowers, but seldom smell one another? Where are their priorities? Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story? Dear God: Excuse me, but why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not one named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride. I know every breed cannot have its own model, but it could be easy to rename the Chrysler Eagle, the Chrysler Beagle! Dear God: If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog? Dear God: Is it true that in heaven dining room tables have on ramps? Dear God: If we come back as humans, is that good or bad? Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please. Dear God: When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake hands to get in? Dear God: We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent IDs, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand? Dear God: Are there dogs on other planets or are we alone? I have been howling at the moon and stars for a long time, but all I ever hear is the beagle across the street. Dear God: Are there mailmen in heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize? Dear God: Can you undo what that doctor did? CAT LETTER TO GOD Dear God: Do you exist? I'm just curious? I don't care. |

Babyruth | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 02:02 pm     WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU? August 13, 2002 - Wireless Flash Turn Tombstones Into ATM Machines LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) -- A deceased cattle rancher in Bozeman, Montana, is bringing new meaning to the term "cashing out" -- by installing an automatic teller machine in his tombstone. Cattle rancher Grover Chestnut died earlier this year at the age of 79. However, before he cashed in, he installed an ATM at his tombstone and gave ten heirs debit cards, and told them were allowed to withdraw $300 per week from the grave. It may sound like a grave waste of money but sources say Chestnut figured the tombstone ATM was the best way to make sure his grave had regular visitors. It must be working. Joel Jenkins, who helped create the "cashing-out" machines, says one of Chestnut's granddaughters recently gave up a promising acting career in New York in order to cash in on Grandpa's money-making tombstone. Although Chestnut's grave is currently the only one with an ATM, Jenkins figures others will be dying to try it soon. http://www.ncbuy.com/news/wireless_news.html?qdate=2002-08-13&nav=VIEW&id=D4114Z9A3B2020813 |
