Chrissy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 There are no adequate words to express how terrific that was, from the obvious affection his team have for him, through his coach playing him that game, to the exquisite passing of the ball to him (and his scoring with it) from the 'other side'. So much horrible stuff that takes place in the world, it is so nice to be reminded of the quiet and constant good stuff that takes place too.

Raven Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Look at this darling cat, who could abandon him, or any other animal for that matter, is beyond me! I don't know about anyone else, but that would scare the crap out of me in the mornings. Who doesn't love a good pet shame? Shaming the cat is one thing, stuffing it is something else . . .

poppy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Maybe doesn't quite fit the 'cute and funny' label but this is a lovely story well worth reading. Change Your Thinking Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.His bed was next to the room's only window.The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.The men talked for hours on end.They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and colour of the world outside.The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every colour and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.Days, weeks and months passed.One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.It faced a blank wall.The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'Epilogue:There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present .'

poppy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 And here's another one I've just read. This is very interesting and just goes to show that we should never judge other people. Question 1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant,Who had 8 kids already,Three who were deaf,Two who were blind,... One mentally retarded,And she had syphilis,Would you recommend that she undergoes an abortion?Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.Question 2:It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts..Here are the facts about the three candidates.Candidate A:Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists.He's had two mistresses.He also chain smokesAnd drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.Candidate B:He was kicked out of office twice,Sleeps until noon,Used opium in collegeAnd drinks a quart of whiskey every evening..Candidate C:He is a decorated war hero,He's a vegetarian,Doesn't smoke,Drinks an occasional beerAnd never committed adultery.Which of these candidates would be your choice? Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.Candidate B is Winston Churchill.Candidate C is Adolph Hitler. And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:If you said YES ............ you just killed Beethoven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The Original Story of THREE LITTLE PIGSThe Three Little Pigs Three Little Pigs went out to dinner one night. The waiter came and took their drink order.'I would like a Sprite,' said the first little piggy.'I would like a Coke,' said the second little piggy.'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' said the third little piggy.The drinks were brought out and the waiter took their orders for dinner.'I want a nice big steak,' said the first piggy.'I would like the salad plate,' said the second piggy.'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' said the third little piggy.The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert.'I want a banana split,' said the first piggy.'I want a cheesecake,' said the second piggy.'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' exclaimed the third little piggy.'Pardon me for asking,' said the waiter to the third little piggy,'But why have you only ordered beer all evening?' You're gonna LOVE me for this.... The third piggy says -'Well, somebody has to go 'Wee, wee, wee, all the way home! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
