A person needs only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use Duct tape

I may have posted this on this forum before, so if I am redundant I apologize. September is the month of my deceased sister's birthday, so I am reminded of her and the last words she wrote before she went unconscious for the last time, never to re-awaken. The words are Mother Theresa's

People are often unreasonable and self centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of alterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end
It is between you and God.
It never was between you and them anyway.

-Mother Theresa

ahhh, I miss my sis tonight.

You are blessed to be sure.....
Heart broken, but still blessed!

You are very insightful!! Did you write that?

I think anything in this world done 1/2 way, is a complete waste of time......

The moments that really count are as follows (in my book): make me smile, cry, swoon or breathless, they are all that really count.........

Sorry if I embarrassed you, I'm having a great morning....

I knew a girl in my neighborhood, when I was in gradeschool,
She has webbing between both thumbs and her finger, and 2 of her toes on one foot , was the same way... What do you suppose could have happened?

She was real nice, but other kids avoided her,
they treated her terrible, Not Me!
She was was my roller skating partner, for a summer...

Sorry didn't really have to do with the thread, just threw that in there...

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is
only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is
essential is invisible to the eye.

Living apart and at peace with myself, I came to realizemore vividly the meaning of the doctrine of acceptance. To refrain from giving advice, to refrain from meddling in the affairs of others, to refrain, even though the motives be the highest, from tampering with another's way of life - so simple, yet so difficult for an active spirit. Hands off - Henry Miller
