Absolutely Priceless!!!
An Elementary School Teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known
proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders.
Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these
are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!
1. Don't change horses until they stop running.
2. Strike while the bug is close.
3. It's always darkest before Daylight Saving Time.
4. Never underestimate the power
of termites.
5. You can lead a horse to water
but how?
6. Don't bite the hand that looks
dirty.
7. No news is impossible.
8. A miss is as good as a Mr.
9. You can't teach an old dog new
math.
10. If you lie down with dogs,
you'll stink in the morning.
11. Love all, trust me.
12. The pen is mightier than the
pigs.
13. An idle mind is the best way
to relax.
14. Where there's smoke there's
pollution.
15. Happy the bride who gets all
the presents.>
16. A penny saved is not much.
17. Two's company, three's the Musketeers.
18. Don't put off till tomorrow
what you put on to go to bed.
19. Laugh and the whole world
laughs with you, cry and you have to blow your nose.
20. There are none so blind as
Stevie Wonder.
21. Children should be seen and
not spanked or grounded.
22. If at first you don't succeed
get new batteries.
23. You get out of something only what you see in the picture on the box.
24. When the blind lead the blind
get out of the way.
25. A bird in the hand is going to
poop on you.
And the WINNER and last one!
26. Better late than pregnant.

Wit and Wisdom for the Weekend!
Brains of elderly slow because they know so much!! The brains of older people only appear to slow down because they have so much information to compute, much like a full hard drive, scientists believe.
Older people do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information in their brains, scientists believe.
Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive gets full, so too do older humans take longer to access information.
Researchers say this slowing down is not the same as cognitive decline.
"The human brain works slower in old age," said Dr. Michael Ramscar, "but only because we have stored more information over time."
"The brains of older people do not get weak. On the contrary, they simply know more."
GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY, GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL -- Yep, this is my Philosophy and I'm sticking to it!!!
And remember ---
And that is my sermon for the weekend! May all of you have a beautiful one filled with love and laughter and beauty!!

Wisdom and Beauty for the Day!!
 |
| We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same.--Carlos Castaneda |
 |
| The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts: and the great art of life is to have as many of them as possible. --Montaigne |

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
