    "You do drugs danny?"
    "Every day."

    "Then what's the problem?"
    "I don't know.... (sigh) I'm guna work in a lumber yard the rest of my life"

    "Whats wrong with lumber yards, I own 3 of them?"
    "I notice you dont spend too much time there"

    "Not sure where they are"
    "Ahhh"

    Sometimes even Fin has moments of profound thought!

    Subject: Fw: Concentrate



    

    "To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did."



    When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but
    merely opening your hands so you can receive more or something else better.



    Concentrate on this sentence.



    "The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not
    protect you.

    Here is a quote I like -
    The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step - confucious.

    Irish luck - more of a story than a phrase, but inspirational anyway.....
    Sent in by Surfstix and Speedy, thanks!


    Irish Luck
    I want this back. It DOES work.



    His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.



    There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.



    The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.



    'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.'



    'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.



    'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked.



    'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly.

    'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' And that he did.



    Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.



    Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.



    What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

    The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill .. His son's name?

    Sir Winston Churchill.



    Someone once said: What goes around comes around.



    Work like you don't need the money.



    Love like you've never been hurt.



    Dance like nobody's watching.



    Sing like nobody's listening.



    Live like it's Heaven on Earth.



    It's National Friendship Week Send this to everyone you consider A FRIEND.



    Pass this on, and brighten some one's day.



    AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH: You had better send this back!! Good Luck!



    I hope it works...



    May there always be work for your hands to do;



    May your purse always hold a coin or two;



    May the sun always shine on your windowpane;



    May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;



    May the hand of a friend always be near you;

    May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.



    and may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows your'e dead.

    Read quietly then send it back on its journey

    To realize
    The value of a sister/brother
    Ask someone
    Who doesn't have one.

    To realize
    The value of ten years:
    Ask a newly
    Divorced couple.

    To realize
    The value of four years:
    Ask a graduate.

    To realize
    The value of one year:
    Ask a student who
    Has failed a final exam.

    To realize
    The value of nine months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

    To realize
    The value of one month:
    Ask a mother
    Who has given birth to
    A premature baby.

    To realize
    The value of one week:
    Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

    To realize
    The value of one minute:
    Ask a person
    Who has missed the train, bus or plane.

    To realize
    The value of one second:
    Ask a person
    Who has survived an accident.

    Time waits for no one.

    Treasure every moment you have.

    You will treasure it even more when
    You can share it with someone special.

    To realize the value of a friend or family member:

    LOSE ONE.

    The origin of this letter is unknown,
    But it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on.

    Remember....

    Hold on tight to the ones you love!

    Stones.....

    TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
    THROUGH THE DESERT
    .
    DURING SOME POINT OF THE
    JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
    ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
    SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
    IN THE FACE


    THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED

    WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
    SAYING ANYTHING,
    WROTE IN THE SAND
    ,

    TODAY MY BEST FRIEND

    SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE
    .


    THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
    UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
    WHERE THEY DECIDED
    TO TAKE A BATH


    THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
    SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
    MIRE AND STARTED DROWNING,
    BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.


    AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
    THE NEAR DROWNING,
    HE WROTE ON A STONE:


    'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
    SAVED MY LIFE'


    THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
    AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
    ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU,
    YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
    YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?'

    THE FRIEND REPLIED
    'WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
    WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
    IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
    FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.


    BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
    WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
    WHERE NO WIND
    CAN EVER ERASE IT'

    LEARN TO WRITE
    YOUR HURTS IN
    THE SAND AND TO
    CARVE YOUR
    BENEFITS IN STONE.

    THEY SAY IT TAKES A

    MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL
    PERSON,


    AN HOUR TO

    APPRECIATE THEM,


    A DAY

    TO LOVE THEM,


    BUT THEN
    ,

    AN ENTIRE LIFE
    TO FORGET THEM.


    SEND THIS TO
    THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER
    FORGET.


    I JUST DID..


    IF YOU DON'T
    SEND IT TO ANYONE,
    IT MEANS YOU'RE IN A
    HURRY AND THAT YOU'VE
    FORGOTTEN YOUR FRIENDS.


    TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE!


    DO NOT VALUE
    THE MATERIALTHINGS
    YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE
    WHO
    YOU HAVE KNOWN IN
    YOUR LIFE!



    LOVE, HEALTH AND HAPPINESS

    Good one finchaser. They say the best form of birth control is wedding cake.
    As one who has been married over 20 years I know that well.
