When I was a child, my grandpa said he was going to come back and haunt me after he died. I begged him not to but he seemed to get some pleasure out of refusing my pleas. He just said, "I'm going to do it." I'm now 31 and my grandpa died five years ago. I'm constantly looking over my shoulder. Have any of you seniors done this to your grandchildren? If so, did you mean it?

Lets say hypothetically that there's this cute dude who goes to my college, is in some of my classes, and goes on the same train home as I do. Lets also say hypothetically that the other day while we were getting on the train I may have accidentally grabbed his ***, before legging it to another door...
I'm pretty sure he didn't see me, but just in case how exactly can I talk my way out of getting the crap beaten out of me? I'm thinking either "accidental hand spasm", or "You have a fantastic ***"

And the mists came in from the moors - the chickens in the wee hoose went very very quiet and down from yon brae came a mountain of a man in a kilt and very little else? And the stories we shared kept us a tight and close clan - as with all tales from a magic place - they must be past on by word of mouth to spread the magic. For in all tales of magic there must be evil doers - and they came and they stole our laughter. The keepers now of the laughter are brave and honest clansfolk - look you to Jilly and Barbara and Justme and The Dragons - who though fierce fought only for the good of the clan - look to the warriors McTealc and Goldwing and O'Rielly for inspiration ......... the seed has been sown and now - as in all magic stories - it will grow and evil WILL be defeated. Watch out and wait for the wind to change again ...... the mist will descend and bring with it more magic than can be concieved in the mind of the wee evil trolls.

I realize that everyone is different, but in general, there are groups that are distinctively more rude and obnoxious than other people.
Are they trying to make up for something? Pretend they own the place because of their minority status?
Share your thoughts.

I have a thing for languages. I mean, I'm totally addicted to them. So went to this polyglot party and there was this Polish girl there who started challenging me, going from one language to the next and when I kept up with her through several of them she said in a condescending tone(that I'm sure I didn't take wrong because others at the party had similar stories), "You're pretty smart for a black guy.", to which I replied, "Well, you're not so stupid...for a Polish girl, by the way, how's your German?"( I said this in German). And the room went quiet. My date said I was rude but I think my response was par for the course.

When a white person wants to go to college there parents just usually write a check out for them.

When a black person wants to go to college they have to get a job WHILE in school. They have to juggle paying bills, studying, and going to work. It is much harder for a black person to go to school then a white person.

I'm not talkin about white people with brown or dark brown skin. I'm talkin about BLACK PEOPLE. (the soul of a black person doesn't depend on the skin it depends on how proud you are of BLACK heritage and how much you know about BLACK history, and how you stand up and support fellow blacks with struggles in life(such as racism) THAT SHOWS PRIDE) You don't have to have DARK brown skin to be black in my book, you can be as white as snow :)

paper in my house? No matter how much I shred, throw away or recycle, cut off newspaper service, etc., I still have too much paper! Do you have this problem?

It's like they are everywhere I look trying to push their beliefs on me! My god. Just when you see a hot girl you start talking to her and come to find out she is straight!

This question is brought to you by the redneck in my class who screamed, "There are too many gays at this school!"

would you choose to have an adventure and go somewhere with lots of things to see and do? They both sound great, but quiet and restful would be my choice right now. Maybe to a peaceful lake with pretty fall colors. How about you?

As some of you know, I only occationally visit this category, as a repreve to the viciousness of the political bunch.
I do not recall having seen much to bring smiles, smirks, laughter, etc.
i.e. Subject: Some ideas for retired husbands or how to prevent being dragged along on shopping trips.
(First, an introduction, by way of a letter to Mrs. XXXXXXX from a major mass marketer)
Dear Mrs. XXXXXXX,
Over the past 6 months, your husband, Mr. YYYY XXXXXXX , has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this type of behavior and have considered banning the entire family from shopping in any of our stores.
We have documented several incidences, three of our clerks are attending counseling, caused by your husbands activities. (ETC & ETC).
1. On June 3rd, moved a 'wet floor sign to the carpeted area.
2. On June 5th, took a jar of catchup, from the grocery dept, and made a trail, on the floor leading to the restrooms.
Anyone interested in my stories??

What a difference a sad event in Someone's life makes.
GEORGE CARLIN (His wife Recently died...)

A wonderful Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much , and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copi es than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?

George Carlin
