Disaster or not a disaster. If there is help available in the nick of time was it nothing after all:
Walking along and suddenly the ground gives way and you fall into a pit and there is no way out - starvation and death.
Walking along and suddenly the ground gives way and you fall into a pit and there is no way out - Bert passing by here's your cries, gets a ladder and you climb out.
You enter a fit of depression like a giant black cloud and life is not worth living - there is no way out...
You enter a fit of depression like a giant black cloud and life is not worth living - along cometh Bert skilled in dealing with such matters, the cloud clears away and the sun shines once more.

A person who advises the obvious or seeks some authority to warn such is both a clown and an idiot!

To fall unfortunately amongst the turds is one thing but to stay there always wallowing in it is quite another. |

There was once the truth and free speech.
Today there is still free speech but must be with adapted truth.

Comments are in the form of what was considered flowery language in the 19th century. Some still seem to think this is the correct way. Unfortunately, few are practiced in it. So it becomes difficult to be certain what is really said or written. Flowery language occurs when elaborate words are substituted for simple ones and longer sentences are used to try to convey multiple ideas. It is an attempt to make themselves sound like they know more about a subject by using jargon terms and connecting different concepts together. Even worse when a person uses flowery language to explain what was said and therefore there can be no doubt. |

Are you a sleepy old thing? This doesn't matter how old you are 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 - well maybe if we do well and make 90 you can slow down. Mind you Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett 99 and 92 respectively are still working. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/char...8NZt90XO3zN6kE0lXyrcoDwdNximE0-YBmA-rWvdcl6OZ

He who knows what horse to back but on the day bets against it lives in a troubled world. For even though what is known is seen as a false hope in hindsight you are true to yourself whether thou rises or falls fraternally or at the very worse eternally whether it be brought about or you are seen as gods gift to mankind.

Your Honour, "Their is absolutely no truth that I accepted a bribe from a Director of that particular company and talk of $100,000 in the brown envelope is an absolute lie. The honest truth is the director required a bung for his leaking boat in fact I provided him with many bungs for his boat and future boats. The brown envelope was in full payment for them and many future bungs."

We, the people born between the years 1930-1980, were the blessed ones. Our lives are a living proof."
¶ While playing and riding a bike, we have never worn a helmet.
¶ after school we did our homework ourselves and we always played in meadows until sunset
¶ We played with real friends, not virtual friends.
¶ If we were thirsty, we would drink frim the fountain, from the waterfalls, faucet water, not mineral water.
¶ We never worried and get sick even as we shared the same cup or plate with our friends.
¶ We never gained weight by eating bread and pasta every day.
¶ Nothing happened to our feet despite walking barefoot.
¶ We never used food supplements to stay healthy.
¶ We used to make our own toys and play with them.
¶ Our parents were not rich. They gave us love, not material gifts.
¶ We never had a cell phone, DVD, PSP, game console, Xbox, video games, PC, laptop, internet chat . . . but we had true friends.
¶ We visited our friends without being invited and shared and enjoyed the food with their family.
Parents lived nearby to take advantage of family time.
¶ We may have had black and white photos, but you can find colorful memories in these photos.
¶ We are a unique and the most understanding generation, because we are the last generation that listened to their parents.
And we are also the first ones who were forced to listen to their children.~
We are a limited edition.
Take advantage of us. Learn from us. We are a treasure destined to disappear soon.

I once read this somewhere, that a father used to buy goods from poor people at high prices, even though he didn't need the things. Sometimes he paid more for them.
I was amazed. One day his son asked him "Why are you doing this Dad?" His father replied: "It's charity wrapped in dignity, son."
