WITandWISDOM(tm) - June 25, 1998 THOUGHTS: I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well. - Diane Ackerman (Shared by MakeMyDay-owner@sparklist.com) SPECIAL THOUGHTS: TIME LINE OF FRIENDSHIP Part 1 of 2 1. 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. 2. 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. 3.

My granddaughter Melanie's asked if I wanted a rocking chair with an electric starter for my birthday this year. My dentist tells me that I'm lucky to still have most of my own teeth, and they're in good condition too. Actually keeping all your teeth is easy. You should drink lots of milk, brush/floss often and mind your own business.
