WITandWISDOM(tm) - June 21, 2000 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "Let me give so much time to the improvement of myself that I shall have no time to criticize others." - Dean Cresham Source: America's Quote, subscribe- quotes@listserv.salko.com via http://www.witandwisdom.org ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: REASONS NOT TO WASH - Author Unknown 1. I was forced to as a child. 2. People who make soap are only after your money. 3. I wash on special occasions like Christmas and Easter. 4. People who wash are hypocrites-they think they are cleaner than everyone else. 5. There are so many different kinds of soap, I can't decide which one is best. 6. I used to wash, but it got boring so I stopped. 7. None of my friends wash. 8. The bathroom is never warm enough in the winter or cool enough in the summer. 9. I'll start washing when I get older and dirtier. 10. I can't spare the time These reasons sound foolish but could reasons like these be the reason we don't go to church? Submitted by: Sherri Rimmer via http://www.witandwisdom.org ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: We were seated at the dinner table, my wife, my daughter Bette (about 7), my son "Jimbo" (about 4), and myself. All during dinner, my wife and I had noticed how well the kids were getting along that night - none of the usual bickering, picking at each other. As we were just about finished eating, my son suddenly said, "I love Bette! When I grow up, I'm gonna marry her!" Well, my mind started spinning! I thought, "Oh no, how am I gonna explain this to a 4-year-old?" Just then Bette, with all the childlike simplicity that only a 7-year-old possesses, saved the day by saying, "Oh no, we couldn't do that, Jimbo! Cause then our kids would only have one set of grandparents!"

All things that are green should have a little crispness, for if they are overboil'd they neither have any sweetness nor beauty.
