Thought of the Day
Some people are like Slinkies...
Not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

I can think of several "slinkies" I get to deal with today...I'll try not to bring too big a smile to my face though as I think their could be some minor legal repercussions

No sense being pessimistic; it probably wouldn't work anyway.

SUCCESS: superior results achieved through graciously accepting the recognition due others.

Facts are only confusing to those who have something to lose by understanding them

If you feel that life is passing you by, at least it's not running you over

Hehehe I love this one.

Prison is a reward for those who have mastered thinking too far outside the box.

Offer a bored teenager a job, and suddenly he'll find all kinds of great things to do.

Per request
"An open mouth often catches a closed fist!"

TEAMWORK: working together to achieve common results for which no one can be held responsible.

MOTIVATION: That strong inner drive to push toward a reward that you've been fooled into believing exists.

In a snowstorm, the guy in the ditch still claims he's the only one who knows how to drive.

Those who weasel their way out of trouble are still weasels.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together! -- African Proverb

THOSE BORN 1920-1979

READ TO THE BOTTOM FOR QUOTE OF THE MONTH BY JAY LENO. IF YOU DON'T READ ANYTHING ELSE---VERY WELL STATED



TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!



First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.



They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.



Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.



We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.



As infants &children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.



Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.



We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.



We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.



We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because,

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!



We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.



No one was able to reach us all day.And we were O.K.



We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.



We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computer! s, no Internet or chat rooms.......

WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!



We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.



We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.



We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes.



We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!



Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!



The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!



These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!



The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!


If YOU are one of them CONGRATULATIONS

LOL
ABSOLUTELY. WHAT SCARES ME IS WHATS IT GOING TO BE LIKE IN ANOTHER 50 YEARS.
I SURE AM GLAD I GREW UP WHEN I DID.

OH YA AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT DISCIPLINE. I DID MY MATURING UNDER THE THREAT OF THE "BELT"
IT SURE WORKED for ME AND MY GENERATION. I SEE MANY PRESCHOOL KIDS IN MY JOB AND THE LACK OF DISCIPLINE IS DISTURBING. I LIKE KIDS BUT THERE ARE SOME I DON'T WANT TO BE NEAR.
OK ENOUGH OF THAT.

LATER
DR.Z

All oh so true.
Discipline, i remember knowing beforehand what would get me a wack upside the head from which behavior.. Now, you wont see any of that in public.

*Sigh*

Why don't we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem of stupidity solve itself?

Do not get too involved with multiple PC crunching BOINC. You may end up like this guy:


..... hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. .....

LMAO!! Now THAT'S funny!!
