A professor of chemistry wanted to teach his 5th grade class a lesson about the evils of liquor, so he produced an experiment that involved a glass of water, a glass of whiskey, and two worms.
"Now, class. Observe closely the worms," said the professor putting a worm first into the water. The worm in the water writhed about, happy as a worm in water could be.
The second worm, he put into the whiskey. It writhed painfully, and quickly sank to the bottom, dead as a doornail.
"Now, what lesson can we derive from this experiment?" the professor asked. Johnny, who naturally sits in back, raised his hand and wisely, responded, "Drink whiskey and you won't get worms."
I will cover you with love when next I see you, with caresses, with ecstasy. I want to gorge you with all the joys of the flesh, so that you faint and die. I want you to be amazed by me, and to confess to yourself that you had never even dreamed of such transports.... When you are old, I want you to recall those few hours, I want your dry bones to quiver with joy when you think of them.
if you go to the last page & scroll to the bottom it appears the powers that be start us all over again. not that it would bother me on some of the stuff we've written, but what about the threads that came from the heart??? are they wiped out & gone forever????
let it out i'm sure we have enough tissues to cover it. a burden shared is a burden halved. one thing i've noticed here on cs is that many people have strong shoulders. we are all here to help one another.
at Christmas something in you gets so lonely for - I don't know what exactly, but it's something that you don't mind so much not having at other times.
no.........i mean New Year's Eve, i googled for new years superstitions just for the heck of it & this was one of many. here are a few more.
Washing dishes and doing laundry on this day is said to lead to a death in the family during the year.
Full larders, cupboards stocked up with food and wallets and purses full of money bring prosperity in New Year.
The direction of wind during sunrise on New Year morning prophesizes about the coming year. Wind from south foretells fine weather and prosperous times ahead, wind from north foretells bad weather, wind from east foretells famine and natural calamities and wind from west foretells plenty of milk and fish for all but death of a person of great national importance. No wind means joy and prosperity throughout the year.
i personally do not believe in superstitions, i just thought some might be interested.
the evil one and his attendants and servants hate din and loud noise. So, scare them away by being as loud in New Year celebrations as possible. Church bells are rung at midnight for the purpose too.
