Hello World!
---
And the world says Hi!
---
VERY GOOD!~
---
Now this is cute!
If I had gotten one more message asking how the weather is or telling me how much God loves me today, I was going to scream.
First of all - I'm not too interested in how the weather is since it will have changed by the time I get the message.
Second - News flash to the bible thumpers - The whole world is not Christian and spouting about God may offend some people with other beliefs.
---
Got a point but the suggestive talk that I have seen one here and the language is just as bad.
Sorry you feel threatened by those Christians who post on here....though I don't know why they aren't holding a gun to your head are they ?
If something looks remotely offensive then lets just throw it back and let someone else who agrees with the content post.

I hated junior high, worst two years of my life. High school was better, college was awesome. Now I have kids of my own. Hope junior high is better for them.

I graduated in 1985. I wish I could turn back time and go back and do high school again. I loved it. The parties, the dances, hanging around at the beach or the pool with friends after school.
Nothing could be better.

Old is only a state of mind and with all the learning listed above, we're all younger than springtime.
---
well said!
---
What bored bottle¡¡¡¡
---
If you find it boring last poster, then simply don't contribute your 2 cents worth. Just pass it on to someone else.
---
Well I'm glad I'm not the only oldie here. I left school in 1972 after 3 years of "high school" that is Grades 8 - 10 or ages 13 - 15. Then went to Secretarial College for a year and got a job until I got married and had my first baby who is now 24. All my children did 5 years of high school and learnt Chinese some of which is similar to Japanese apparently. I have no desire to do further study or to work outside the home. Motherhood is my career and its the best.
Sorry to go on so long!
---
Would have graduated in 72 but ran away from home for a career picking berries with Mexican migrants in California LOL
---
been there, done that,
thank god its over

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning disabled
children,the father of one of the students delivered a speech that w
ould
never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and
its dedicated staff, he offered a question:
"When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does
is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other
children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is
the natural order of things in my son?"
The audience was stilled by the query.
The father continued. "I believe,that when a child like Shay, physically
and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize
true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people
treat that child."Then he told the following story:
Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew
were playing baseball. Shay asked,"Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's
father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on
their team, but the father also understood that if his son w ere al lowed to
play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some
confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.
Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay
could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around for guidance and
said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I
guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the
ninth inning."
Shay struggled over to the team's bench put on a team shirt with a broad
smile and his Father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his
heart.
The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom
of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by
three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in
the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously
ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to
ear as his father waved to him f rom th e stands. In the bottom of the ninth
inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases
loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next
at bat.
At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win
the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit
was all but impossible 'cause Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat
properly, much less connect with the ball.
However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing the
other team putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved
in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to
make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The
pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards
Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground
ball right back to the pitcher.
The game would now be over, but the pitcher pick ed up the soft grounder
and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would
have been out and that would have been the end of the game.
Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first
baseman, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and
both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his
life had Shay ever ran that far but made it to first base. He scampered
down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.
Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!"
Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and
struggling to make it to second base. By the time Shay rounded towards
second base, the right fielder had the ball, the smallest guy on their
team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time.
He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he
understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the
ball high and far o ver th e third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base
deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.
All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay"
Shay reached third base, the opposing shortstop ran to help him and
turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay,
run to third" As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams and those
watching were on their feet were screaming, "Shay, run home! Shay ran to
home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the
"grand slam" and won the game for his team.
That day, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face,
the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into
this world.
Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never
forgotten being the hero and making his Father so happy and coming home
and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

-:all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing:-
---
Therefore, we must lead the fight against terrorism. Terrorists are evil and we must defeat them.
---
evil begets evil. we need to look for the source of said 'evil's' arbitrary predisposition toward the self-implied 'good.' money and resources have all but squeezed humanity dry. there are alterantives to energy, food, transportation and all the fundamentals of life. we need to explore and create, not destroy.

How true is that - too bad the forces that be aren't as intelligent...
---
No you missed the point and the reality of the situation. Terrorists are themselves evil and therefore need to be destroyed--not just defeated. Anything less will not cure the problem. Remember, they will only be satisfied when YOU (and all like you) are DEAD.
---
But also recognise that not all muslims, afghan,turk,iraqui etc is a terrorist no matter their religion. The EXTREMISTS of any faith are the most dangerous......
