WITandWISDOM(tm) - May 10, 2001 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another's." - Jean Paul Richter Source: Awesome Quotes, http://www.coolnewsletters.com ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: MOTHERS Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it. Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox. Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids. Mothers know that dried playdough doesn't come out of shag carpet. Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up. Mothers sometimes ask "why me?" and get their answer when a little voice says, "because I love you best." Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade... It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mommy to Mom...

Slogan of 105.9, the classic rock radio station in Chicago: "Of all the radio stations in Chicago...we're one of them." With every passing hour our solar system comes forty-three thousand miles closer to globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules, and still there are some misfits who continue to insist that there is no such thing as progress. - Ransom K. Ferm Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change. Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to pound in the correct screw. I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants. - A. Whitney Brown "Time's fun when you're having flies." - Kermit the Frog Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?" Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night." - Charlie Brown, "Peanuts" by Charles Schulz The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled. - Plutarch Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. - John F. Kennedy Source: Laughweb http://world.std.com/~joeshmoe/laughweb/lweb_ns.html ~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING: Isn't it cute how kids mispronounce things? The other day my daughter came up to me and told me that her tummy was upset and, in her words, "I think I need some Pepto Business." - By Steve steve@worldstart.com Source: Just for Grins http://www.coolnewsletters.com ~~~~~~~ TRIVIA: The Waring family in the United Kingdom has had an extra guest for dinner lately; a bird that pays for its meals. The magpie, a regular diner at the Waring family home, eats bread crumbs and then pays for its meals with money it finds. Gill Waring began leaving bread for the bird on a garden table and noticed one or two coins were being left behind each day. She said: "I was baffled because I didn't know how the coins got there and then on day I looked out of the window and saw the magpie leaving money." So far the bird has left about $3 on the table. - http://ananova.com From: The Oregonian, Copyright (c) August 18, 2000, http://www.oregonian.com/ Submitted by Barbara Henry |
