most of you have probably gotten these
before!!!!!!!!!!
Smile
She smiled at a sorrowful stranger.
The smile seemed to make him feel better.
He remembered past kindnesses of a friend
and wrote him a thank-you letter.
The friend was so pleased with the thank-you
that he left a large tip after lunch.
The waitress, surprised at the size of the tip,
bet the whole thing on a hunch.
The next day she picked up her winnings,
and gave part to a man on the street.
The man on the street was grateful;
for two days he'd had nothing to eat.
After he finished his dinner,
he left for his small dingy room.
(He didn't know at the moment
that he might be facing his doom.)
On the way he picked up a shivering puppy
and took him home to get warm.
The puppy was very grateful
to be in out of the storm.
That nite the house caught on fire.
The puppy barked the alarm.
He barked 'til he woke the whole household
and saved everybody from harm.
One of the boys that he rescued
grew up to be President.
All this becuase of a simple smile
that hadn't cost a cent.
Maybe some of you have heard this poem before, but I think
it shows how much a smile can really do. Nothing is going
to happen to you if u send or don't send this forward, no
bad luck, no lost lovelifes or anything. All I ask is that
if you would like to share the kindness to others with
others, you send this on.
As you read on, i know we're not in 8th, 9th, even 10th
grade yet... but you'll still understand.
Don't cry and I hope to get this back..........
*In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person
who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was
the ugly black one.
*In first grade your idea of a good friend was the person
who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you
walked through the scary halls.
*In second grade your idea of a good friend was the person
who helped you stand up to the class bully.
*In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person
who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on
the bus.
*In fourth grade your idea of a good friend was the person
who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so
you wouldn't have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nick
or Smelly Susan.
*In fifth grade your idea of a friend was the person who
saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.
*In sixth grade your idea of a friend was the person who
went up to Nick or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to
dance with you, so that if they said no you wouldn't have
to be embarrassed.
*In seventh grade your idea of a friend was the person who
let you copy the social studies homework from the night
before that you had.
*In eighth grade your idea of a good friend was the person
who helped you pack up your stuffed animals and old
baseball but didn't laugh at you when you finished and
broke out into tears.
*In ninth grade your idea of a good friend was the person
who would go to a party thrown by a senior so you wouldn't
wind up being the only freshman there.
*In tenth grade your idea of a good friend was the person
who changed their schedule so you would have someone to sit
with at lunch.
*In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend was the
person who gave you rides in their new car, convinced your
parents that you shouldn't be grounded, consoled you when
you broke up with Nick or Susan, and found you a date to
the prom.
*In twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person
who helped you pick out a college/university, assured you
that you would get into that college/university, helped you
deal with your parents who were having a hard time
adjusting to the idea of letting you go...
*At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person
who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile
one could give as they congratulated you.
*The summer after twelfth grade your idea of a good friend
was the person who helped you clean up the bottles from
that party, helped you sneak out of the house when you just
couldn't deal with your parents, assured you that now that
you and Nick or you and Susan were back together, you could
make it through anything, helped you pack up for university
and just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry
eyes at 18 years of memories you were leaving behind, and
finally on those last days of childhood, went out of their
way to give you reassurance that you would make it in
college as well as you had these past 18 years, and most
importantly sent you off to college knowing you were loved.
*Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who
gives you the
better of the two choices, holds your hand when you're
scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage
of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there,
reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the
past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to
it a little longer, stays with you so that you have
confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you,
helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with
pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad,
helps you become a better person, and most importantly
loves you!
Pass on to those friends of the past, and those of the
future...and
those you have met along the way...[crying yet? oh there's
more]
Thank you for being a friend. No matter where we go or who
we become, never forget who helped us get there.
There's never a wrong time to pick up a phone or send a
message telling your friends how much you miss them or how
much you love them.
You know who you are, pass it on to someone who you want to
remind.
So send this to all your friends and maybe those who aren't
but just
watch and see who sends it back.
If you love someone, tell them.
Remember always to say what you mean.
Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this opportunity
to tell
someone what they mean to you. Seize the day and have no
regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family,
for they have helped make you the person that you are today
and are what it's all about anyway. Pass this along to your
friends. Let it make a difference in your day and theirs.
The difference between expressing love and having regrets
is that the regrets may stay around forever.
Within 1 hour you must send it to other people. Within five
days you will have a miraculous occurrence in your
relationships. You will find new love or have an old love
rekindled. If you do not send it, you will have once again
passed up the opportunity to do something loving and
beautiful and continue the trend that gives you problems in
your relationships. If you've received this it is because
someone cares for you and it means there is probably at
least someone for whom you care.
If you're too busy to take the few minutes
that it would take right now to forward this
to ten people, would it be the first time you
didn't or that little thing that would make a
difference in your relationships? [oh the guilt!]
And the better you'll get at reaching out to those you care
about.
Here's the deal: Forward this letter to at least 10
different people;
within 1 hour of receiving it.
People who care for you and that warm glowy feeling that
comes from loving others.
THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN SENT TO YOU
BECAUSE YOU MEAN SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY.
PLEASE SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS AND
THOSE THAT YOU LOVE. GROWING UP,
YOU WILL TRULY MEET THE FRIENDS
THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME AND WILL
MEAN THE MOST TO YOU.***AND NO MATTER WHAT YOUR FRIENDS
WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU.***
a friend is like the dial tone on the telephone it is
always there wether you need to make a phone calll or not,
but when the time comes that you need to make a call it
will be there waiting for you no matter when or where, it
will ALWAYS be there.
and dont forget it

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DAILY DIARY
DAY 183 OF MY CAPTIVITY
MY captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little
dangling objects. They
dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry
cereal. The only
thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the
mild satisfaction
I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture.
Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. Today my attempt to
kill my captors
by weaving around their feet while
they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the
top of the stairs.
In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors,
I once again
induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair, must try
this on their
bed.
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in
attempt to make
them aware of what I am
capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts.
They only cooed and
condescended about what a good
little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I
was placed in
solitary throughout the event. However, I
could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly I
overheard that
my confinement was due to MY
power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to
use it to my
advantage.
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe
snitches. The dog
is routinely released and seems
more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit.
The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and
speaks with them
regularly. I am certain he reports
my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal
room, his safety is
assured. But I can wait; it is only a
matter of time...

SMILE
Easy
=====
"He has it sooo easy," my wife Puddin said as she looked at
21-month-old Christian sitting in the chair.
I looked at Christian.
Sure enough, Christian sat in the chair clutching his milk
bottle, staring at us through contented eyes.
When his bottle ran dry, he would be able to get another
one or
something else. He never goes hungry for long.
When he gets sleepy, he goes.
When his diaper is full, it is changed.
He is loved.
He has it real easy.
It was A Mountain Wings Moment.
Did I suddenly realize that Christian has it easy?
No.
I told Puddin, "So do we."
Puddin and I sat in our respective chairs.
Both of us were as full of food as Christian.
Actually, we were fuller and had more variety.
We never go hungry for long.
~Do you?
Both of us often stay up beyond when we are sleepy.
We are able to go to sleep in a warm bed, but just like
Christian,
we are often up until sleep overtakes us.
~Are You?
Both of us are loved,
both by those on earth and a heavenly father.
~You are loved by a heavenly father at a bare minimum.
Both of us have clean underwear, and we don't even have to
wear
diapers.
~You've probably got clean underwear and don't wear diapers
either.
Christian often cries or makes a fuss when a trinket is
taken
away from him or when something he shouldn't have is
forcibly
removed from his grasp.
~So do we.
hey EVERYONE...WATS UP...I WAS THINKING ABOUT ALL MY
FRIENDS...AND I REALLY LOVE THEM AND APPERCIATE THEM...A
LOT...AND I NEVER REALLY TOLD THEM THAT...I THOUGHT MAYBE
THEY SHOULD KNO THAT;
~I love u no matter what… threw thick and threw thin
~I will always have a shoulder for u to cry on
~No one can take your spot in my heart
~I will always be there for u
~I’m never going to let a stupid fight get in the way
~I will forgive and forget no matter how mad I seem at that
moment
~I wont say things about you if we do get in a fight cuz I
will regret them later
~no boyfriend can get in the way
~on my list of things to do…the first one is to hang out
with u
~ I love u as much as there are stars in the sky
~ put us together and we're as hot as the sun lol
~ If I were to die please do not cry, because I will be
behind you,
~watching everything u do. I would be your angel at night
and at day,
~making sure your life goes the right way. I love u
~and if u were to die I would know that u would do the same
for me.
I LOVE YOU ALL WITH ALL MY HEART AND NOTHIN CAN EVER TEAR
US
APART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...love means...
a girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on the road...
Girl: Slow down. I’m scared.
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not. Please, its 2 scary!
Guy: Then tell me u love me.
Girl: Fine, I love u. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.
*Girl hugs him*
Guy: Can u take my helmet off &put it on? It’s bugging me.
In the paper the next day:
A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of break
failure. 2 ppl were on it but only 1 survived.
The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized
that his breaks broke, but he didn't want 2 let the girl
know. Instead, he had her say she loved him &felt her hug 1
last time, then had her wear his helmet so that she would
live even though it meant that he would
die!!!!!!!!!!!!
For you see, no one really knows what tomorrow holds in
store for you. You might not live to see the next day. And
sometimes you have to tell someone something, but run out
of time to do so. So take five minutes out of your time to
tell someone you love them because you really never know if
this is the last day of your life.
1. Only in America......can a pizza get to
your house faster than an ambulance.
2. Only in America......are there
handicap parking places in front of a
skating rink.
3. Only in America......do drugstores
make the sick walk all the way to the
back of the store to get their
prescriptions while healthy people can buy
cigarettes at the front.
4. Only in America......do people order
double cheeseburgers, large fries,
and a diet coke.
5. Only in America......do banks leave
both doors open and then chain the
pens to the counters.
6. Only in America......do we leave cars
worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our
useless junk in the garage.
7. Only in America......do we use
answering machines to screen calls and
then have call waiting so we won't miss a
call from someone we didn't want
to talk to in the first place.
8. Only in America......do we buy hot
dogs in packages of ten and buns in
packages of eight.
9. Only in America......do we use the
word 'politics' to describe the process so well:
'Poli' in
Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning
'bloodsucking
creatures'.
10. Only in America......do they have
drive-up ATM machines with Braille
lettering..
EVER WONDER
Why the sun lightens our hair, but
darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline
"Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do
"practice"?
Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you
have to click on "Start"?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial
flavor, and dish washing liquid made
with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest
traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
When dog food is new and improved
tasting, who tests it?
Why didn't Noah swat those two
mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for
lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box
that is used on airplanes? Why don't
they make the whole plane out of that
stuff?
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when
they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is
Congress the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe, why do they call
the airport the terminal?
------------------
Now that you've smiled at least once,
it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to
someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a
chuckle)...in other words, send it to everyone. We all need
to smile every once in awhile.
