Fifty one years ago today, JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas! A very sad time for us here in the USA! I remember I was playing golf in California on a beautiful sunny day. What I knew about him then, I really admired him!

Would anyone else like to add any experience about him or opinion?


Have a wonderful weekend!

I am keen of learn new things so kindly if anyone knows about the verb which ends with "S" please share with me, i will be so glad. thanks

" We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust our sails"

There was
a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend.. He was always
there for her.. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see
the world, I will marry you.'
One day,
someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages
came off, she was able to see everything, including her
boyfriend.

He asked
her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The
girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The
sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected
that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life
led her to refuse to marry him.

Her
boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her
saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before
they were yours, they were mine.'

This is
how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who
was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a
Gift

Today
before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't
speak.

Before
you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone
who has nothing to eat.

Before
you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today
before you complain about life - Think of someone who went
too early to heaven.

Before
whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.

And when
you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
job.

And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
your face and think: you're alive and still
around.

1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.

During my second month of college, our professor

Gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student

And had breezed through the questions until I read

The last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the

Cleaning woman several times. She was tall,

Dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?


I handed in my paper, leaving the last question

Blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if

The last question would count toward our quiz grade.


"Absolutely, " said the professor. "In your careers,

You will meet many people. All are significant...They

Deserve your attention and care, even if all you do

Is smile and say "hello."


I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her

Name was Dorothy.


2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain

One night at 11:30 p.m., an older African American

Woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway

Trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had

Broken down and she desperately needed a ride.

Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.

A young white man stopped to help her, generally

Unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man

Took her to safety, helped her get assistance and

Put her into a taxicab.


She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his

Address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a

Knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a

Giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A

Special note was attached.


It read:

"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway

The other night. The rain drenched not only my

Clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.

Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying

Husband's bedside just before he passed away. God

Bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving

Others."


Sincerely,

Mrs. Nat King Cole.


3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those

Who serve.


In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,

A 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and

Sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in

Front of him.


"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.

"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.


The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and

Studied the coins in it.


"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.


By now more people were waiting for a table and the

Waitress was growing impatient.


"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.


The little boy again counted his coins.


"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.


The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on

The table and walked away. The boy finished the ice

Cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress

Came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the

Table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,

Were two nickels and five pennies.


You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had

To have enough left to leave her a tip.

Thanks for the positive encouragement.
I have gone to my professor and everything is smooth sailing.

Ok, so you bought a cat in a bag, but the cat is out of the bag now. A cat has nine lives, but there are many ways to skin a cat. Shooting cats is not the answer, but in the end curiosity killed the cat!

Cats wherever you look! I wonder if dogs get anywhere near this. Here are a few cattish expressions and their meanings:

1. You bought a cat in the bag – You made a bad deal.
2. Let the cat out of the bag – Let the secret out.
3. Many ways to skin a cat – Many ways to do a thing.
4. A cat has nine lives – Cats are tough animals.
5. To shoot cats – To vomit.
6. Curiosity killed the cat – Don’t be so inquisitive.
7. He is a fat cat – He is a rich man.
8. To grin like a Cheshire cat – to be very self-satisfied.
9. He is a scaredy-cat – He’s scared.
10. All cats are grey in the dark – Things look the same in the dark.
11. To be like a cat on a hot tin roof – To be very agitated.
12. To be the cat's whiskers – To think you are better than others.
13. A cat can look at a king – Important people are not untouchable.
14. Has the cat got your tongue? – Don’t just stand there. Talk!
15. A cat in gloves catches no mice – To be nice is not always enough.
16. He is conceited as a barber's cat – Very full of himself.
17. I smell a dead cat on the line – Something is wrong.
18. They fight like cat and dog – They fight all the time.
19. He is a fraidy cat – He is scared.
20. You don’t have a cat’s chance in hell– You have no chance.
21. It's raining cats and dogs! – It is raining hard.
22. You look like the cat that got the cream – You look happy.
23. You look like something the cat brought in – you look bad.
24. You look like the cat that swallowed the canary – You look guilty.
25. To be mad enough to kick a cat – To be very cross.
26. Not enough room to swing a cat – Very little space.
27. Play cat and mouse with somebody – To be evasive.
28. To purr like a cat – To be very happy.
29. The cat is amongst the pigeons – We have trouble.
30. First see which way the cat jumps – Look before you act.


This is by now means all of them. You will find plenty more. To be catfoot is just another. It describes a very cautious person.

A cattish expression? Oh, that is a scornful look on your face!
