Thought for the day

He lied. Should I confront him?
..I think not as he is still a good mechanic, I now know his gig, will be on guard and know what to watch out for.
 
When a person loses someone or even an animal who/which is close to them it is like losing a finger from a hand. They can never forget as that reminder is there always.

One from Gore Vidal---when a friend succeeds, something inside me dies.

A very good point this. Reading about a man who was surprisingly successful and how his car and house was damaged and other events occurred. Eventually he found out that one of his best friends was the culprit.
Perhaps a report by a man who won a large sum of money who worked as a Labourer for a number of persons running small building outfits. When he went to his local Public House as usual he found he was shunned by them. Maybe his good fortune affected the pecking order much as in the animal kingdom.
 
As time goes on each new younger generation becomes more and more expensive. They also become more and more wasteful as they happily discard things and want the next new model. Dare any adult suggest they wear an older siblings cast offs as it once used to be. From this it is the youngest generation that is more responsible for destruction of planet Earth.
 
The truth to the matter is that there's no one like your mother, so spend time with her, love her, appreciate her because you never know when this very moment can be taken away from you.
 
Strawberry, Blackcurrant and Raspberry jam jars.
"Strawberry", said Blackberry, "why are you always on the highest shelf and me the lowest below Raspberry?"
Raspberry interjected,"because you are in less demand and often discounted".
"Indeed", said Strawberry "I'm of the pip-less variety and you and Raspberry stick between the teeth." Blackcurrant said,"it's really because you two are on the higher shelves that attracts the eye and what is more likely is that I'm darker than you bright reds".
"Are you suggesting some form of prejudice here as I'm scarlet", enquired Strawberry.
Raspberry rather annoyed said," I may not be scarlet but I am of the preferred red and not so much of the stick between the teeth or I will loosen the screws on your shelf support."
"Come now", said Strawberry,"it's well known that strawberry is a cut above the rest and Blackcurrant and Raspberries are of a lower order."
Raspberry exasperated said,"in that case I'm going to call for marches to the highest jam offices in Canberra".
"I'm with you on that and this discrimination has gone far enough. We need to take a stand", said Blackcurrant.
After months of marches and the spilling of much Blackcurrant and Raspberry the Strawberry police have warned against further disturbances.
Fortunately the Spreaders have arrived and agreed that all jams will be on the same height shelves in future.
 
I've had a bad day at the office darling and now I'm home with you and all is fine:
 
A survey showed that those with low,or missing,emotional intelligence are invariably right- wing with their views.
 
Doctors can cure some STDs, like gonorrhea and chlamydia, with medication. Others, like herpes and HIV, stay with you forever, but there's medicine to help your symptoms. Treatment also helps stop STDs from causing you further health problems.

Saliva spreads the virus that causes oral herpes. So there's a chance it can be passed by glasses, straws, utensils, or lip balm. Don't share these, especially if you or your partner has cold sores or blisters.

From this I strongly believe that adults who go up to a person's baby or small child and kisses them on the lips should be jailed.
 
Nice way to go.
A good news story I think.
What we can all learn from this deathbed photo
By Dhruti Shah BBC News, Washington DC
  • 4 hours ago
Image copyright Adam Schemm
Image caption Norbert Schemm, 87, was surrounded by his loved ones during his final days
Why would a picture of a dying grandfather having a final drink resonate with so many strangers around the world?

All Norbert Schemm, 87, of Appleton, Wisconsin, wanted in his final moments was his loved ones beside him while he sipped a beer.

Together his family talked, laughed and reminisced before taking an image which Mr Schemm's son Tom shared with the family Whatsapp group.

But hours later when Mr Schemm died and his grandson Adam posted the photo on social media, the entire family was overwhelmed by the number of strangers who took comfort in that last picture.
