PARENTAL OBSERVATIONS
A baby usually wakes up in the wee-wee hours of the morning.
A child will not spill on a dirty floor.
A young child is a noise with dirt on it.
An unbreakable toy is useful for breaking other toys.
Avenge yourself; live long enough to be a problem to your children.
If you have trouble getting your children's attention, just sit down and look comfortable.
You can learn many things from children... like how much patience you have.
Summer vacation is a time when parents realize that teachers are grossly underpaid.

People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either of them being made.

Remember to play nice with your friends and give them Human Gifts, not the Premium Gift Spam. They will appreciate as I muchly appreciate those given me.

Be warm, be safe and warmest wishes for the snowbound.

An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life.

Anyone can make a mountain out of a molehill by throwing on more dirt.

Remember, worth and value are not wrapped up in what you do.
You are not a human doing.
You are a human being.

Remember to play nice with your friends and give Human Gifts, not the Premium Gift Spam. I muchly appreciate each and every Human Gift sent to me, thank you so much ... Keep warm and don't overdo in the snow, be safe, my friend.

Time is relative... The mind makes it slow, the heart makes it fast, our friends make it worth while, and words... make it timeless.
To let a fool kiss you is stupid.
To let a kiss fool you is worse.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Warning: I have an attitude, and I know how to use it.

It is amazing how many people want to live a long life, and yet so few want to grow old.

Life is a roller coaster.
You can either scream every time you hit a bump or you can throw your hands up in the air and enjoy it.

Humor is to life what shock absorbers are to an automobile.

Istn't it great being married? It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. ;-)

Thank you very much for the Human Gifts. They are muchly appreciated. Please keep the rescuers and victims in Haiti in your thoughts and prayers.

An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life.

For some reason, we see divorce as a signal of failure, despite the fact that each of us has a right, and an obligation, to rectify any other mistake we make in life.

Be bold in what you stand for; and careful what you fall for.

Be more concerned about your character than about your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think of you.

Humans are interesting creatures, when given everything they need, they can't live through hardships.
But when given very little they surpass every hardship.

If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization.

YB wouldn't let me send autos yesterday. (Who would thunk?) Think their timing is off. Thank you for the Human Gifts, they are muchly appreciated.

Please hold the citizens and rescuers in Haiti, in your hearts and thoughts.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens: but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. (Helen Keller)

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell hoe close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when your hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

Three kinds of people:
The ones who learn by reading.
The ones who learn by observation.
And the rest of them who have to touch the fire themselves to learn if it's really hot.

Rome at night.

No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees.
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
in fact it's quite reliable.
It can't be stolen, won't pollute,
one size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
but yields results enormously.
Relieves your tension and your stress,
invigorates your happiness.
Combats depression, makes you beam
and elevates your self esteem.
Your circulation it corrects
without complicated side effects.
It is, I think, the perfect drug.
May I prescribe, my friend. . . . . . the hug!

Throw a log on the fire and keep warm, stay out of danger, my friend, and be safe during this deep freeze. And

Thank you so much for those sent to me, muchly appreciated.

One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a "battle" that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

People forget what you said.
People forget what you did.
But people never forget how you made them feel.

Presence is more than just being there. If your absence doesn't make any difference, your presence won't either.

Oh, my goodness, my friend, please keep warm in this deep freeze, be safe and be careful. Don't ya just love the Capshas? Or is it just me!! ;-) Thank you for the messages and thank you for the Human Gifts, still muchly appreciated. Keep warm!!! ;-)

There are three ways to obtain wealth: inheritance, luck, and hard work. None is guaranteed, but you have no influence over the first two.



Didn't get to say "Hi" yesterday as I was out of town, but want to thank you for the thoughtful and muchly appreciated Human Gifts. Have a great week.

There are two types of pain in this life;
that of discipline, which lasts a short while...
and that of regret, which can last a life time.
