Priceless!

God's Wife
IT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF


Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once
talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest

was to find the most caring child.

The winner was:

1. A four-year-old child, whose next door
neighbor was an elderly gentleman,

who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old
Gentleman's' yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said

to the neighbor, the little boy just said,

'Nothing, I just Helped him cry.'

2. Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were
discussing a picture of a family. One little boy

in the picture had a different hair color

than the other members. One of her
students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, 'I know all about
Adoption, I was adopted..'

'What does it mean to be adopted?',

asked another child.

'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew
in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'

3. On my way home one day, I stopped to
watch a Little League baseball game that was

being played in a park near my home.

As Isatdown behind the bench on the first-
base line, I asked one of the boys what the score

was? 'We're behind 14 to nothing,'

he answered with a smile.

'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you
don't look very discouraged.'

'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a
Puzzled look on his face...

'Why should we be discouraged?

We haven't been up to bat yet.'

4. Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot
in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.

Jamie was trying out for a part in the
school play. His mother told me that

he'd set his heart on being in it,

though she feared he would not be chosen..

On the day the parts were awarded, I went
with her to collect him after school

Jamie rushed up to her,
eyes shining with pride and excitement..

'Guess what, Mom,' he shouted,

and then said those words that will remain a lesson to
me...'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'

5. An eye witness account from New York
City , on a cold day in December,
some years ago: A little boy,
about 10-years-old, was standing before

a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted,

peering through the window, and shivering
With cold.

A lady approached the young boy and said,
'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!'

'I was asking God to give me a pair of
shoes,' was the boy's reply.

The lady took him by the hand, went into the store,

and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks
for the boy. She then asked if he could give her

a basin of water and a towel.

He quickly brought them to her.

She took the little fellow to the back
part of the store and, removing her gloves,

knelt down, washed his little feet,

and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks..

Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him
a pair of shoes..

She tied up the remaining pairs of socks
and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head

and said, 'No doubt, you will be more comfortable now..'

As she turned to go, the astonished kid
caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face,

with tears in his eyes, asked her:


'Are you God's wife?'

SEND TO ALL WHO LOVE AND CARE FOR CHILDREN.
Hope this put a smile on your face it

Sure did mine!

There are differences between the sexes, with regard to many important types of cognitive and emotional wiring. I won't say much now on the different percentages and on what sides of the fence these fall, except to say that it goes both ways. Children, however, do seem to enter trance, as a rule, much more esily. Women vs men? Aa-V.

Sure, all languages have them. But we have to hand it to the Teutonic races, methinks. Donaudampfschifffahrtselektriktaetshauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamptengesellschaft(leiter). I added the last word. Aa-V.

The games they play are rough one, extremely rough tackles. And why do they get away with it? because you allow them to.
How about making sure that you see balance, don't rely on carefully crafted words they tell you and how they want you to corporate with them; either they want to scam or use you.
How about baby i just want to see what your body looks like or i just want to put it on my teacup while i sip my coffee, or you look so hot ... send me more, or they are for mine eyes only, or i am going to marry you so keep those sexy pics coming .... until that faithfully promised date.

Why cant we date here on the site before you want to be carted off into my personal space, my email, my phone number, my watsapp etc. what if i no longer desire to communicate with you then too late you are already all up in my space.

By the time you realise, you are already an unpaid porn star satisfying the devious ego of dangerous fellas.
How did we get to here so quickly, you haven't been asked pertinent questions, nor have you been ask to explore the possibilities of your proposal.

Ask yourself why in order to gain someone's love you have to compromise on every level to please that special someone? why cant i be met half way? it should be a massive red flag that it is a possibility that you are unfair and should be excused from your space as a matter of urgency.

Should we define scamming in categories?
* Do not ask for sex on line
* Do not pay for promised services on line

I must admit I am behind times, but then I am old, as well as old fashioned. Shucks - I even look for the crank on the telephone ! A kid in elementary school probably understands a PC more than I. So considering all that, I request some input from some of you who are into those electronic wizards. I was given a computer for Father's Day a while back, and I must admit I like it , but do well to turn it on.
A few months back I turned it on , then a message came on the monitor which stated , "someone is using this computer". How could that be , I have never given anyone my password. I changed my password. I did at that time receive notice that my hard drive was almost full and the"system restore" would not function. I have a relative who uses his PC in his business and I ask him about the problem. he checked and found there were 2 items on the hard drive which took up all the space. He is pretty savvy, he managed to clean them out. The PC worked better , but then I received a message which stated, "A party asks permission to use this computer." I inquire, - who is that party? Answer came back, "Party unknown".
You who are intelligent about computers, please give me your idea of why this is happening. and what I can do to keep it from happening again. studecar (not in computers)

You never know who's going to pop round for a cuppa.

It's A Film About A Play About School Shootings.

I heard about it last night on a Coast To Coast AM radio program discussing school shootings.
The guest, Dr. Charles Simone, mentioned the play and claimed some 100+ people identified problems in their lives similar to those depicted in the play - and sought help.
It might be presumed that several school shootings were thus averted.
Perhaps more than by all other preventative measures - legislative and otherwise - combined.

Of course, this won't grab media headlines like a mass killing ("If it dies - it flies." "If it bleeds - it leads.") or stirring up controversy over Gun Control/Gun Rights.

Dr. Simone suggested the play be periodically staged/the film shown in every school in the U.S.

This first came up on sky's 'School Shootings' blog.
I felt it deserved a blog of its own.

(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
Our veterans' group will be raising awareness of PTSD this Memorial Day, May 28.

Memorial Day is set aside to remember those lost in our wars.
We should also remember those - military & civilian of all nations - who to a greater or lesser extent have been and are being lost to PTSD.

The following vid presents the WWI Suresnes American Cemetery in France.
The vid highlights the graves of twin sisters Dorothea and Gladys Cromwell.
Both served as American Red Cross civilian nurses in The Great War.
Both became victims of PTSD.



The following article relates the story of the sisters.



Lest We Forget......

Happy Memorial Day to my family and friends! Also, I wish a Happy Memorial day to all veterans who are serving their country, especially those who paid the ultimate price with their lives!
