Running Away

"If you run far enough away, you'll find yourself back to where you started."

So, ladies, have you ever tried to run out and dissapear? Have you ever tried to find yourself lost and away from it all only to find yourself well... with only one place left to go? And that is ... home?

Let's run away sometime, let's try to get as far away from home as we can. Let's keep walking, and walking and walking and walking. We'll pass the old school, go farther down the walking path, pass the town line and keep going. Let's cross the county line, then the state line ... now where shall we go? If we keep going, eventually we'll just come full circle.

Full circle. 

Wasn't that what we were trying to avoid?

Weren't we trying to get as far away from out problems as we could? 

Well, the world is round. And if you go around a circle... what happens?

You find yourself in the same place that you started.

So, it might be better off just facing your problems in the first place and accepting what is really going on.

Good luck.

I'm still trying to figure it out myself too.

What if we could talk to Historical Characters?

No really, think about it. What if we could talk to dead people that have had an impact on our society today. What if we could ask them questions such as what was going through their head when they made history... did they believe that they were right? Or originally wrong?
Could they have died believing that they were wrong and in time they were proven right?

In science we discussed Galileo and how when he stated the Heliocentric theory he was deemed to be placed in Purgatory forever. So; Is Galileo still mad about being in Purgatory? Does he regret recanting his discovery of the Heliocentric theory? Or, since he's been proven right a hundred times over, does this mean that he's finally reached Heaven?

There are so many questions I'd like to ask so many historical figures.  Such as Elvis, I'd like to ask him if he knew what he was doing when he was building up to being famous.

I'd love to ask Juliette Lowe if she thought that Girl Scouts was a bright idea when in her period it wasn't right for girls to not learn about how a real lady is supposed to act.  Girls were like little mommies, they did what mommy did, watched her mother, and followed instructions. I don't know, but I would like to know.

What about Lincoln? Did he know what was going to happen and decide for fate to run it's course?

I don't know how we would talk to these people. Maybe an mystical board, maybe a mystical person, maybe thought those stones that mystics threw to as for the answer to yes/no questions.
Maybe there was people too who wanted to be a part of history but were not given the chance due to some event. Does this mean that they are also historical characters that need to be honored?

A student once mentioned that to ask someone about something (we were talking about who came up with the theories involving the universe) you had to be dead. What if we didn't have to be anymore? What if we could through a simple conversation for an angel on a break for the day.

Wouldn't you enjoy talking to someone who has passed away as well? Who would you talk to?

"Don't let yesterday use up too much of today."

What a beautiful quote.  Absolutely beautiful.

Before I continue, I just wanted to address the simplicity of todays date.
October 11th, 2012.
10/11/2012.
10.11.12
Ten. Eleven. Twelve.
I've been watching the date since I was in sixth grade:

January 2nd, 2003             -- 1.2.03           7th Grade
February 3rd, 2004            -- 2.3.04           8th Grade
March 4th, 2005                -- 3.4.05           9th Grade
April 5th, 2006                  -- 4.5.06           10th Grade
May 6th, 2007                   -- 5.6.07           11th Grade
June 7th, 2008                   -- 6.7.08           12th Grade
July 8th, 2009                    -- 7.8.09           Freshman Year
August 9th, 2010               -- 8.9.10           SophomoreYear
September 10th, 2011       -- 9.10.11          Junior Year
October 11th, 2012        -- 10.11.12         Senior Year

Truly, this is an interesting phenomenon that will not happen again for years to come. Enjoy the day while you can! - E

And as peole would say it... On with the show!

 

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Can you imagine geting into a fight with your best friend? And that fight continues into the next day? That's a whole day that you can't get back. That's a whole day that you're going to miss.

 

 

Or imagine your test that you're supposed to be studying for. The more you laze around and not study for it, the longer you have a hatred for studying and the longer that you spend griping about it. If you stop griping about it now and get it over with, then you have more time tomorrow to do something else. You're letting yesterday infringe on today, and that's because you procrastinated.

Many of us are worriers. We let our worries carry from day to day when we really should not allow ourselves to let something overtake tomorrow that should only be dealt with today.

 

Take action.     Be Proactive.     Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Up!

I'm sure you will enjoy this. I never knew one word in the English language that can be a noun, verb, adj, adv, prep. UP Read until the end ... you'll laugh. This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v]. It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it Up to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car. At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it soaks UP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now . . . my time is UP! Oh . . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night? U P! Did that one crack you UP? Don't screw UP. Show this on to everyone you look UP in your address book . . . or not . . . it's UP to you. Now I'll shut UP!

Lucky Dog....

Anyone who has pets will really like this. You'll like it even if you don't and you may even decide you need one!

Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named Lucky. Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing.

Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys. Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box..

It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this disease....in fact; she was just sure it was fatal.

She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her...what would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought. He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him! The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.

The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable.

Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap..

Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon over came her and she dozed.

When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life.

 

He had covered her with his love.
                                    
Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky, he still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure..

                                     

Remember......live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God. And never forget....the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care for us.

                                        

Live simply.. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

A small request

All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it is only to one more person, in memory of anyone you know that has been struck down by cancer or is still fighting their battle.

Heaven x2

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.


He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.

When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.

He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.

When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'

'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.

'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.

'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up.'

The man gestured, and the gate began to open. 'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveler asked.

'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'

'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.'

'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog.

'There should be a bowl by the pump,' said the man.

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree. 'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.

'This is Heaven,' he answered.

'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said.

'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'

'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's Hell.'

'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?'

'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.'

Chocolate Calculator

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway -but the Hershey Man will know! YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH


DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but fewer than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ...

If you haven't, add 1758.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

PSYCHOPATH TEST

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question.

It is as it reads. No one I know has gotten it right. Few people do.







A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be her dream guy so much that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister..





Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?





[Give this some thought before you answer, see answer below]









































Answer:





She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again. If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test by a famous American psychologist used to determine if one has the same mentality as a killer.. Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly. If you didn't answer the question correctly, good for you..







If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take your crazy ass off my e-mail list!

The Sack Lunches

A Retold Story:

I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought. 
 
Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation. 
 
'Where are you headed?' I asked the soldier seated nearest to me. 
'Petawawa. We'll be there for two weeks for special training, and then we're being deployed to Afghanistan.   
 
After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches were available for five dollars. It would be several hours before we reached the east, and I quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time... 
 
As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if he planned to buy lunch.  'No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch. Probably wouldn't be worth five bucks.  I'll wait till we get to base.' 
 
His friend agreed. 
 
I looked around at the other soldiers. None were buying lunch. I walked to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty  dollar bill.  'Take a lunch to all those soldiers.' She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. 'My son was a soldier in Iraq ; it's almost like you are doing it for him.' 
 
Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated. She stopped at my seat and asked, 'Which do you like best - beef or chicken?' 
'Chicken,' I replied, wondering why she asked. She turned and went to the front of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first class. 
 
'This is your thanks..' 
 
After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane, heading for the rest room. 
A man stopped me. 'I saw what you did. I want to be part of it. Here, take this.' He handed me twenty-five dollars. 
 
Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he walked, I hoped he was not looking for me, but noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my side of the plane. When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his hand and said, 'I want to shake your hand.' Quickly unfastening my seatbelt I stood and took the Captain's hand. With a booming voice he said, 'I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.' I was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers. 
 
Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A man who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine. He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm. 
 
When we landed I gathered my belongings and started to deplane. Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word. Another twenty-five dollars! 
 
Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the base. 
I walked over to them and handed them seventy-five dollars. 'It will take you some time to reach the base.. It will be about time for a sandwich. 
God Bless You.' 
 
Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow travelers. 
 
As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could only give them a couple of meals. It seemed so little... 
 
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America  ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' 
 
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.' 
 
May God give you the strength and courage to pass this along to everyone on your email buddy list.... 
 
I JUST DID 
 
Let us pray... 
 
Prayer chain for our Military... Don't break it! 
 
Please send this on after a short prayer.. Prayer for our soldiers Don't break it! 
 
Prayer: 
 
'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.' 
 
Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.

Obituary

An Obituary printed in the London Times - Interesting and sadly rather true.


Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Makes you think....

Inconsistency Is The Hobgoblin Of Small Minds And Nationalized Health Care Advocates


Consistency has been given a bad rap, as in: "Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds." The problems is that is a misquote. The real quote is: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds."


Consistency does have its merits. Consistency in the meaning of a word leads to communication and understanding; inconsistency leads to obfuscation and confusion. Consistency in action allows soldiers to trust each other with their lives; inconsistency leads to distrust and death.

So why is it that those who support the Obama administration's health care agenda, as interpreted by the U.S. House bill, will say it is a right under the principle established in the Declaration of Independence ... Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness... but are willing to overlook the fact that, as formulated in the House bill, our reconstituted health care system would willingly allow that our system permit the destruction of children in their mothers' wombs and possibly criminalize the elderly who might purchase their health care with their own funds, if the system deemed their needs unworthy of receiving such care under the nationalized process.

If LIFE is a RIGHT, it must be a universal right under any program established by our government. It is simply INCONSISTENT to claim a nationalized health care system is a right based on the principle of promoting life... and then exclude the most vulnerable, the children in their mothers' wombs and the frail and elderly... who are most in need of the health care system's protection.

Beyond the matter of pure logic [and basic ethics], which the House bill fails miserably, there is the matter of whether the House bill improves or erodes the level of care available to Americans. Judging from the analysis of the cost as well as the content, it appears to be the latter.

Bc I hang out with them...

GLASS OF MILK

 One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water! She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"

"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."

He said ... "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Many year's later that same young woman became critically ill.

The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.

Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.

Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.

He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge, and the bill was sent to her room.

She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ...

"Paid in full with one glass of milk"

(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed:

"Thank You, God, that Your love has spread broad through

Human hearts and hands."

There's a saying which goes something like this:

Bread cast on the water comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?

Now you have two choices.

1. You can mention this page on and spread a positive message.

2. Or ignore it and pretend it never touched your heart.

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which -- To burn

A smile is a curve that sets things straight

WILL YOU WEAR BLUE???

International Picture of the Year
 Here are two very touching photos honored this year
 First Place :

Todd Heisler The Rocky Mountain News
When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno Airport , Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather on the tarmac.

During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at  Denver International Airport , Major Steve Beck described the scene as so powerful: 'See the people in the windows? They sat  right there in the plane, watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds, knowing that they're on the plane that brought him home,' he said 'They will remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should.'

Second Place
Todd Heisler The Rocky Mountain News
The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. 'I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it,' she said. 'I think that's what he would have wanted'

Blue Fridays.

Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing blue every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority' We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening women afar, will wear something blue. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of blue much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If everyone of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in BLUE and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is .'We need your support and your prayers.' Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something blue every Friday.

If your answer is:

A COCONUT TREE DOESN'T HAVE BANANAS.


Obviously you're stressed and overworked. You should take some time off and relax!
Perhaps have a bit of chocolate?
