5 lessons
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.

say something different
I find myself saying the same things again and again and sometimes I blame the blogs because they seem to be on the same general subjects again and again.
But maybe its me. Challenge yourself. Go pick 5 blogs, any 5 blogs. Make a completely different comment on each one.
Some bloggers and commenters are brilliant, always have something fresh or funny, or can make a pun. Some drag in their own agenda every. single. time.
Try it. Five comments, something you never said before. Or just one here, if you prefer.
Stumped?

Self Introspection
Who are we really? In our silence unperturbed and alone, do we encounter questions about us, the world and life in general?
Then when we're out there, in the open, do we feel vulnerable, or strong or simply feeling, leave me alone and I will do the same attitude?
Do we look at our children and deep inside of us, we feel that great feeling of being grateful and thankful we have contributed to the basic and prime obligation of man to create and fill this earth? Knowing what we have made and see them grow and they carry a bit if not most of our traditions and values that promotes good in their surroundings and world, give us even more fulfilling feelings and joyful that they turned out to be what you most hoped for?
There is no perfect life and most certainly there is no perfect being on this planet and yet at the end of the day, when all is said and done, we can own that feeling of being grateful being born and live our lives as good or as bad as it maybe, and yet again, when the sun rises, we can spread our wings and say: Thank you Lord for being alive and thank you for everything that I am.
And as the day goes by, we keep on searching who are we? But most of all what good have I done, for me, for my children and the world?
What can I do to make it better?
Thank you all for your reads and participation on my writes.
Have a good and blessed day to all.

Teaching
I wonder why sex is taught in school.
When a boy or a girl don't need it at a stage or they don't know about it. Is it necessary to teach them about it.
I don't blame any Country Just want to know your views about it.
I don't want to hurt someone or to point.
I hope it doesn't bother anyone need to be positive.

Shared Wisdom
I would like to share some of the things I've learned about posting on forums. I hope others can benefit from my experience.
It doesn’t matter how clearly and precisely you write, at least half the people who read it will misunderstand it.
It doesn’t matter how meaningless what you write is, there will always be someone who thinks they understand what you mean.
It doesn’t matter how stupid you think you have made yourself sound, someone will always respond to it positively and validate it.
It doesn’t matter how experienced you are at treading fine lines, they will always ban you when you are not expecting it.

Who should I hate today?
Whether it's the media, politicians, or self-interested shills, there always seems to be someone trying to influence my opinion and to persuade me to choose their 'side'.
Everywhere I turn there's someone trying to tell me what is good and what is bad, or worse, who I should hate. One has to be careful though because sometimes those people are dishonest, and have slimy, dark agendas. You know who you are ...
Anyway, when it comes to being genuine, who could I trust more than a dog? Yes, a dog! No apparent agenda aside from the occasional con for a doggie treat, I can rely on a dog to objectively point out good and evil and to steer my disdain in the proper direction.
So far and by following the dog's intuition, I've learned that pigeons and mourning doves are intolerable and that I can't trust people on bicycles or skateboards. When it comes to real contempt though, no one is more deserving than the gardeners with leaf-blowers and weed whackers.
But when it comes to unadulterated hate and where to focus blind rage, there's no clearer target than the mailman!
This is Tess, and she approves this blog!

The F-word
I've been a person that was never able to swear. I was taught I shouldn't. After reading Molly the other day on Palms blog I realized how common the F-word had become to me.
This is a warning I'm about to use the F-word alot. Read no further if this offensive to you.
If you gave a f*ck at all about the fu cking amazing English language, you would stop fu cking around and study the word fu ck.
When your friends start fu cking with you just tell them to shut the fu ck up and to go fu ck themselves, because you need to fu cking study.
Don’t be a f*ck up. Instead of getting fu cked up at bars like a dumbfu ck trying to f*ck another alcoholic f*ck, be a cheapfu ck and stay at home and learn to use the word f*ck. So when someone asks you, “What the f*ck does that mean?” You don’t have to answer, “I don’t fuc king know.”
This text isnt mine and I dont want to take credit for it but its just amazing how the f-words can be used.
I remember watching an Irish movie " The commitments" . I then realized that the f-word is quite common for them. I thought the Irish would be the most popular using that word in movies but Im wrong. American movies use it more often. "The wolf of Wall street "using this word 569 .
f*ck can be used in almost every informal situation and to express any emotion. The only thing that matters is what tone of voice you use and what words surround it.
How do you use this word?

bye and thanks for all the fish...
last night I was browsing the forum threads and the abuse and vitriolic comments being posted were way over acceptable normal banter, they were positively toxic, yet, no one really cared, sure the odd members said 'your out of order', but it was allowed to continue, unabated, over several threads...
another member has posts in the 'blogs' that are racist, incites men to hate women and he continually abuses women and other members, yet, even thought comments have been disabled, his blogs are available to be viewed by the general public...
I brought this subject up a little while ago and to be honest, the general consensus of the replies was, 'let it go', 'don't read the thread', 'ignore them' etc... well that's not me...
I am not against free speech or someones right to an opinion, that's what a democracy is all about, having a free will and being able to express it... so thanks to all the members who did post comments on my threads...
perhaps I am not thick skinned enough?... but that's how I am... so now I am exercising my free will and heading off...
~ remember, next time a stranger talks to you when your alone, look at them shocked and whisper quietly "you can see me?" ~
