If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about ageing that you think in fractions. 'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. 'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ..... . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone. But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would! So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60. You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.' Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!' May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!! HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them' 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. 4. Enjoy the simple things. 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. 8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. 9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is. 10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER : Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. 2009-03-29 14:21 "And in the sweetness of friendship
let there be laughter, and sharing
of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the
heart finds its morning and is refreshed."

2006-01-12 17:28 Email is now a very important form of business communication. Like a snail mail letter, however, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and proper etiquette are important in an email message. Let's look at some guidelines: 1. Most Important - the correct way to send a Forward: Use Bcc. Bcc is short for Blind Carbon Copy. Bcc recipients will receive a copy of the message, but their email addresses do not show up in the email envelope. Bcc recipients are invisible to each other. Only recipients in the To: or Cc: recipients show up in the envelope. To protect every recipient's privacy, put your email address in the To: box, and put everyone else in the Bcc: box. 2. Eliminate ALL CAPS. It is considered to be SHOUTING and rude. 3. Don't request delivery or read receipts. If you want to make sure that someone received or read an email, pick up the phone. 4. Do not overuse the high priority option. 5. Email can be cold and impersonal. If you receive an email from someone who seems upset, re-read it several times and make sure the sender is truly upset. If the sender is upset, consider a telephone reply instead of an email. If you have no phone number, assume that the sender was not upset, and reply with a smile on your email (figuratively). 6. If you get into a send and reply cycle with someone, break the cycle by making a phone call. 7. Don't respond to an email when you are angry. Emails can be stored on a computer and/or easily forwarded to other people. If you wouldn't want an email read to a jury or your mother, don't send it. 8. One of the most important parts of an email is the subject line. Make sure it accurately summarizes the content of the email. Think of it as the title for your book. You wouldn't call a book about cats, "Why I hate dogs." It might be true, but it is not effective. 9. Always use spell check and proof-read your email. Nothing is less professional than poor spelling. Keep your paragraphs short and consider using bullet points. 10. Do not ask to recall a message sent in error. 11. Do not forward chain letter, joke, virus warnings, political, or religious emails unless the recipient has asked to receive them in advance. Even then, never forward emails with crass language, racial epithets, lewd or suggestive material. Such behavior is inappropriate, and if it is forwarded again, it will have your email address immortalized as part of the header. 11. Do not flame. Expressing extreme anger or emotion in an email is considered flaming. 12. It is not appropriate in business emails to use emoticons such as :) [smile] or :( [frown]. 13. Do not use acronyms in business emails such as BTW (by the way), IMHO (in my humble opinion), or ROFL (roll on floor laughing). 14. Careful with "Reply All." Make sure you do not hit the "Reply All" button when you mean to simply "Reply." Reply All sends your reply to every recipient in both the To: and Cc: fields of the email. <body> <p><b><font size="5">Now Forward this to all your friends '-) Gary G. Schempp</font></b></p> </body> 2005-10-24 20:16 I got this from Peter!!! Thanks, <a href= http://public.fotki.com/Pedro23//>Peter</a>!!!If we reduce the population of the Earth to a small town with 100 people and keep the proportions, it will look like this: 57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 Americans (northern and southern) 8 Africans 52 women 48 men 70 coloured-skins 30 caucasians 6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them will be from the United States of America 80 would have bad living conditions 70 will be uneducated 50 will be underfed 1 would die 2 would be born 1 will have a computer 1 (only one) will have higher education If you look at the world from this point of view, you will see how there is a big need of solidarity, understanding, patience and education. Also think about the following If this morning you've woke up healthy, you are happier then 1 million people that will not survive next week. If you never suffered a war, the loneliness of the jail cell, the agony of torture, or hunger, you are happier than 500 million people in the world. If you can enter into a church (mosque) without fear of jail or death, you are happier than 3 million people in the world. If there is food in your fridge, you have shoes and clothes, you have a bed and a roof, you are richer than 75% of the people in the world. If you have bank account, money in your wallet and some coins in the money-box, you belong to the 8% of the people on the world, which are well-to-do. If you read this you are three times more blessed because: 1. somebody just thought of you. 1. you don't belong to the 200 million people that cannot read. 1. and... you have a computer! As somebody once said: "- work as if you don't need money, - love as if nobody never ever hurt you, - dance, as if nobody can see you, - sing, as if nobody can hear you, - live, as if the Earth was a heaven." 2005-10-23 11:00 Beneath a controlled, cool exterior beats the heart of the deeply intense Scorpion. Passionate, penetrating, and determined, this sign will probe until they reach the truth. The Scorpion may not speak volumes or show their emotions readily, yet rest assured there's an enormous amount of activity happening beneath the surface. Excellent leaders, the Scorpion is always aware. When it comes to resourcefulness, this sign comes out ahead. Friends and Family Sincerity and truth are strong components of the Scorpion's friends. It can take some time before really close bonds are formed, but once done, the Scorpion will remain dedicated and loyal. Witty and intellectual, they prefer companions who are humorous and easygoing. Full of surprises, this sign will give you the shirt off their backs if that's what you need; yet, once they are crossed, there's no turning back. They feel deeply, and once hurt, it can be impossible to turn things around. Commitment to family is strong and consistent with the Scorpion. They are exceptionally helpful in managing affairs, and they are excellent advocates when one is needed. Career and Money "I desire" is the key phrase for the Scorpion. They are fantastic at managing, solving, or creating. Once the Scorpion sets their sights on a goal, there's no deterring this sign. Tasks that require a scientific, penetrating approach are always best done by the Scorpion, as they will delve deeply into the materials they have. Their ability to focus, coupled with determination, makes for strong management skills. They're not ones to worry about making friends on the job scene; rather, they prefer to see the task accomplished well. Pursuing such careers as a scientist, doctor, investigator, navigator, detective, researcher, police officer, business manager, and psychologist all suit the mighty Scorpion. Respect is an essential aspect of working for this sign. They need to respect their coworkers, while also feeling a sense of being respected by others. Disciplined enough to stick to a budget and unafraid of working as hard and as long as it takes puts the Scorpion in a good financial position. Many are fortunate and inherit money. Whatever the case - and regardless of the balance - they are great managers of their dollars and are not apt to overspend at all. Money means security and a sense of control, which is important to the Scorpion. Therefore, they're going to hang onto the majority of the cash, making decisions carefully before turning any of it over. Love and Sex This is the strongest of the sexualities in the zodiac. Incredibly passionate, the Scorpion takes intimacy seriously. Partners need to be intelligent and honest. Much of the foreplay for this sign happens long before the bedroom through conversation and observation. Once in love, they are devoted and loyal to the death. But relationships can take some time. The Scorpion needs to build trust and respect for a potential mate slowly and thoroughly. SCORPIO TIDBITS Scorpio Birthdays October 23 - November 21 Health Each sign has a part of the anatomy attached to it, making this the area of the body that is most sensitive to stimulation. The anatomical areas for Scorpio are the genitals, bladder, rectum, and the reproductive organs. Ruling Planet The ruling planet for Scorpio is Pluto. Traditionally, this planet rules that which is hidden from view. It also represents conception, birth and death, slow growth, generation, regeneration, unpopular causes, anonymity, phobias, and the exposition of secrets. Colors The colors of choice for Scorpio are dark red to maroon. Gemstone Scorpio's star stone is the opal. Lucky Numbers Scorpio's lucky numbers are 2, 7, and 9. Compatibility Scorpions are most compatible with Pisces and Cancer. Opposite Sign The opposite sign of Scorpio is Taurus. The Perfect Gift The best gifts for a Scorpio are sentimental choices, clothing (especially something sexy), and non-fiction books. Likes Truth, facts, flirtation, long-time friends Dislikes The superficial, flattery, shallow people, being taken advantage of House Natural sign of the Eighth House. This house focuses on sex, taxes, death and rebirth, a partner's resources, inheritance, and regeneration.

In 1884 the first Monday of September officially became Labor Day and over the years it has been celebrated with parades, fireworks and festivals; slowly losing its political connotations and becoming an unofficial end of summer holiday. Labor Day is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race or nation. --Samual Gompers, founder and president of the American Federation of Labor 2005-02-11 19:33 Thank You Irene (<a href= http://public.fotki.com/tarbet//>http://public.fotki.com/tarbet/</a>) for creating and sharing your GREAT Welcome Page(<a href= http://members.fotki.com/tarbet//>http://members.fotki.com/tarbet/</a>) and it's Glorious Music with all of us!!! Here are the lyrics to go along with the Music!!! Gary Old Scotch Song, Copyright Unknown By yon bonnie banks, And by yon bonnie braes, Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond, Where me and my true love Were ever want to gae, On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Oh! ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and my true love Will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. 'Twas then that we parted In yon shady glen, On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond, Where in purple hue The Highland hills we view, And the moon coming out in the gloaming. Oh! ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and my true love Will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. The wee birdie sang And the wild flowers spring, And in sunshine the waters are sleeping, But the broken heart it kens Nae second Spring again, Tho' the waeful may cease frae their greeting. Oh! ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and my true love Will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. 2005-02-11 19:51 New Rendition of Born Free by Peter from Australia!!!

To keep them remembered they must be safely stored in the present. GaryGS1. 2005-01-06 20:22 Twas the week before Christmas and from seven states, Sixteen people would soon mix their fates. All were packing for a trip in December With hopes for adventures wed always remember. We arrived in San Jose with nary a care, Assured that our Mario would meet us all there. With storms in Texas and in other states Some were on time, but several were late. We met Wednesday morning full of high spirits and good cheer Knowing our new friends now were all here. With Mario in charge and Walt at the wheel, We soon realized our adventure was going to be real! With Atakan, Marissa and Ryan in sight Plus Leslie and Stephen from the house of White, And Richard, and Gary, and Delores and Herb (Whose laugh wed know if he said not a word,) And from California came Tony and Renee, Plus George and Pauline who were with us each day, When Betty, Billie, and Suzanne all did meet, The OAT family now was complete. All of Costa Rica was ours to see Only Walt and Mario knew the adventures to be. With rivers, rainforests, and volcanoes on the list Sometimes our view was obscured by mist. The flora and fauna Mario did know; Plants, birds, and critters to us he did show. With knowledge unequaled and actions so funny, His energy surpassed the Energizer Bunny! From an Indian attack and bird walks each day To zip lines, horses, and sprizes along the way There was rafting, hiking, and energy spent. So much to do, the time quickly went. Our Spanish improved and our relationships grew; Our knowledge expanded, (and our waistlines too!) All thru Costa Rica, we searched for a name, Since we visited Juan Batista, were the Guardians of the Cane! We wanted to see the old year out right, So we danced and partied til midnight. As we come to the end of two weeks of fun, We are not just 18, but a family of one! And we hope Mario will exclaim as we fly out of sight. Pura Vida, Gringos! Yall were all right! 2005-01-05 2:05 The Music is here: <a href= http://garygs1.com/sandpipersguantanamera.mp3 /> http://garygs1.com/sandpipersguantanamera.mp3 </a> Turn up your Speakers and Enjoy!!!
