* Share everything.
* Play fair.
* Don't hit people.
* Put things back where you found them.
* Clean up your own mess.
* Don't take things that aren't yours.
* Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
* Wash your hands before you eat.
* Flush.
* Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
* Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
* Take a nap every afternoon.
* When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
* Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
* Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
* And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.

Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.

And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

 A drunken man in an Oldsmobile

They said had run the light

That caused the six-car pileup

On 109 that night.

When broken bodies lay about

"And blood was everywhere,"

"The sirens screamed out eulogies,"

For death was in the air.

"A mother, trapped inside her car,"

Was heard above the noise;

Her plaintive plea near split the air:

"Oh, God, please spare my boys!"

She fought to loose her pinned hands;

"She struggled to get free,"

But mangled metal held her fast

In grim captivity.

Her frightened eyes then focused

"On where the back seat once had been,"

But all she saw was broken glass and

Two children's seats crushed d in.

Her twins were nowhere to be seen;

"She did not hear them cry,”

"And then she prayed they'd been thrown free,”

"Oh, God, don't let them die!”

Then firemen came and cut her loose,”

"But when they searched the back,”

"They found therein no little boys,”

But the seat belts were intact.

They thought the woman had gone mad

"And was traveling alone,”

"But when they turned to question her,”

They discovered she was gone.

Policemen saw her running wild

And screaming above the noise

"In beseeching supplication,”

Please help me find my boys!

They're four years old and wear blue shirts;

"Their jeans are blue to match.""

"One cop spoke up, ""They're in my car,”

And they don't have a scratch.

They said their daddy put them there

"And gave them each a cone,”

Then told them both to wait for Mom

To come and take they home.

"I've searched d the area high and low,”

But I can't find their dad.

"He must have fled the scene,”

"I guess, and that is very bad."

"The mother hugged the twins and said,”

"While wiping at a tear,”

"He could not flee the scene, you see,”

"For he's been dead a year."

"The cop just looked confused and asked,”

"Now, how can that be true?”

"The boys said, ""Mommy, Daddy came”

"And left a kiss for you."" "

He told us not to worry

"And that you would be all right,”

And then he put us in this car with

"The pretty, flashing light.”

"We wanted him to stay with us,”

"Because we miss him so,”

"But Mommy, he just hugged us tight”

And said he had to go.

He said someday we'd understand

"And told us not to fuss,”

"And he said to tell you, Mommy,”

"He's watching over us."

The mother knew without a doubt

"That what they spoke was true,”

"For she recalled their dad's last words,” " I will watch over

You."

The firemen's notes could not explain

"The twisted, mangled car,”

And how the three of them escaped

Without a single scar.

"But on the cop's report was scribed,”

"In print so very fine,”

An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.

 ANGELS EXIST but some times, since they don't all have wings, we

Call them FRIENDS

"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.

It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love

A man recently went into a Chinese restaurant and ordered lunch and when it was time to pay, he only had a bag of pennies, the meal totalled $2.65cents, the woman  who ran the restaurant  refused to take the pennies. The man who is an EMT tech was pretty angry when he left the restaurant and he talked to a local politician about it. 

The incident even garnered a write up in the local paper.The lady apologized and said it was all a big misunderstanding and that she would gladly accept his pennies.

They are now trying to think of a law to fine shop owners who refuse correct payment because it comes in the form of pennies. It is a poor neighborhood and if you have a business you should take any form of currency because eveveryone deserves to be served.no one should go hungry because the don't have paper money.

What is the big deal, isn't pennies money too?

There is a new scam going around called the "Hit Man". If you receive this email report it to the FBI.

Folks all across the country have received identically-worded texts, according to the FBI, which says it is investigating this bizarre new form of spam.

So far, it is known that the messages originate from Moscow (note the fractured grammar, indicating they were written by non-English speakers) and are being sent to email addresses apparently selected from professional databases (i.e., targeting recipients who presumably have the resources to pay). As FBI cybercrime supervisor Bill Shore noted in an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, "All they're looking for is one guy to pay off. Then their job is done."

Do not reply

The most important thing you should know with regard to these emails is that if you receive one, you shouldn't respond. In addition to being after your money, the perpetrators hope to persuade you to share personal data so they can steal your identity.
