Dirt Roads

What's mainly wrong with society today is that too many Dirt Roads have been paved. There's not a problem in America today, crime, drugs, education, divorce, delinquency...that wouldn't be remedied, if we just had more Dirt Roads, because Dirt Roads give character. People that live at the end of Dirt Roads learn early on that life is a bumpy ride. That it can jar you right down to your teeth sometimes, but it's worth it, if at the end is home...a loving spouse, happy kids and a dog. We wouldn't have near the trouble with our educational system if our kids got their exercise walking a Dirt Road with other kids, from whom they learn how to get along. There was less crime in our streets before they were paved. Criminals didn't walk two dusty miles to rob or rape, if they knew they'd be welcomed by 5 barking dogs and a double barrel shotgun. And there were no drive by shootings. Our values were better when our roads were worse! People did not worship their cars more than their kids, and motorists were more courteous, they didn't tailgate by riding the bumper...or the guy in front would choke you with dust and bust your windshield with rocks. Dirt Roads taught patience. Dirt Roads were environmentally friendly, you didn't hop in your car for a quart of milk you walked to the barn for your milk. For your mail, you walked to the mail box. What if it rained and the Dirt Road got washed out? That was the best part, then you stayed home and had some family time, roasted marshmallows and popped popcorn and pony rode on Daddy's shoulders and learned how to make prettier quilts than anybody. At the end of Dirt Roads, you soon learned that bad words tasted like soap. Most paved roads lead to trouble.  Dirt Roads more likely lead to a fishing creek or a swimming hole. At the end of a Dirt Road, the only time we even locked our car was in August, because if we didn't some neighbor would fill it with too much zucchini. At the end of a Dirt Road, there was always extra springtime income, from when city dudes would get stuck, you'd have to hitch up a team and pull them out. Usually you got a dollar...always you got a new friend...at the end of a Dirt Road! ~By Paul Harvey

Learning To Drive ~ Poem

I was so proud of me For I had learned to drive a car My husband wouldn't ride with me Or allow me to go very far But while he was at work I'd get out my extra key Sneak to where he parked And take that car with me While he worked all day I drove around the town Getting good experience With him no-where around You see, he'd get so nervous When he tried to teach me how So, I decided I could do much better If I done it by myself One day across the town I set out for a drive I had borrowed my sister's license We favored enough for disguise Then I walked to where he worked And drove away once more But...this time I got caught Not like it was before There I was, having so much fun Not aware of all the fear While he was nearly crazy Searching everywhere You see, they had asked if he Would run a little errand So he went to get his car, But stood there just a-staring! An empty place he found Where his Chevy once had been But where was it now Who'd pulled a trick on him? He made a call to home Where my sis answered the phone She told him I was gone Didn't know when I'd be home Unaware of all this I started back to park the car But, turned wrong down a one way street So did not get too far You see there was a policeman Waiting in the wings Just to catch someone Doing that very thing! He stopped me right real quick Asked me if I knew I was going the wrong way, lady There's a sign, you paid no attention to The next thing that he noted was the license was not mine So he gave me a ticket, It was a heavy fine I cried as I went on To put that car in place... But when I drove it in I saw my husband's face Oh my Lord, I cried Deliver me from this He was mad enough I could see To ruin our wedded bliss! When the storm had cleared I settled down a bit But...later I still took that car! I just could not stay home and sit When I got a license of my own My poor husband almost died While he worked, and worried I went out on joy rides Betty Hill © 2007 SpiritisUp I've Lost My Mind, Loony Boonies and Creative Xpressions

New Fangled Device

When I was old with hair so white I made a decision, not too bright, To buy myself a new fangled device, Talked into it through a friends advice. Spent all my savings to get a computer. Nobody told me I'd need a good tutor. First came the basics, "bootups and shutdowns" And from that point my smiles turned to frowns. That big button for on, never off at all. Only for total lockup would that rule fall. And then a whole new language I must learn. There was MG Ram and CDs we could burn. And something that I really had to know, This word download; just click on go. And the word WinZip, here is a must. But, I must admit, it was then that I cussed. For security reasons, it's AVG and ZoneAlarm. Without them a computer can come to harm. And, whatever is scandisk and defrag too? This you must master or it is "woe unto you" And "pop-ups seem to come from everywhere, So it is important that you "click" with care. The one I dread says "fatal error has occurred". My heart will pound and I can't say a word. I pray, Dear Lord, where do I go from here, And I begin to know the meaning of fear. Will my screen go black or will I just "crash"? Horrible things through my mind will flash. They tell me in time it will all be so clear, But, I know that time is still not near. So, blissfully, it is on my way I go, Aware, there are things I will never know. But it is all worth it I'm happy to say, For with this computer I can "make my day". The pleasure I get from this new fangled toy. Despite all it's troubles it does bring me joy. Now all my daily housework just has to wait, For now I'm so busy that delay is their fate. So, thank you my friend, also my "tutor" For I love life now that I have my computer.

The Hand You Were Dealt

Imagine playing a game of cards You don't like what you hold in your hand But still you have to make a smart play Even if at times you can't seem to win Thats how at times life might be If so you just have to treat it best you can At times it can be like an hour glass Moving so quickly like the pouring sand And then at times life can be the best It will treat you oh so very good You'll feel like things are back on track Just living like you always should So no matter the situation you are in As long as self respect is what you have left You're actually doing better than you thought By dealing with the hand you were dealt

Astrology

We are all born at a certain time, With different qualities that are easy to define. There are twelve equal parts to the astrology chart, At the first house is where you should really start. The first house in the chart is very important you see, It will explain the place or persons' personality. How the person or place first appears to be, There are other things hidden though you can not see. The rising sign is how we think in our head It sometimes controls what will or will not be said. If you just study a place or a persons chart, You will know all of the houses play a special part. My Venus is in Libra, my Moon is in Gemini, Do you think you would like to give it a try? We are never just one sign and if you take a look, It is carefully explained in a good astrology book. There is something I tell everyone I know, It takes more than just one sign for you to grow. Because if there is just one ingredient, How boring, how dull, not how life is to be spent. There are so many stars in the galaxy, Each one in our chart affects us differently. So when someone says they are a Leo with flare, I can’t help but look at them and stare. Scorpio is the detective of the zodiac, Studying astrology, well it takes a certain knack. Libra must have things balance, Pisces cannot decide, Virgo must analyze, forget it Taurus, you can’t hide. Gemini there always seems to be two, You never know which one you're talking to. An Aquarius will seem to float through the air, Now the Sagittarius they don’t seem to have a care. Then when you study a chart with a little bit of one, That is where you can start to have all the fun. Where is your destiny? It’s all in the stars, take a look at it and see. © Brenda Sparkman Sassy4Daze February 2004

A Visit to the Dentist

Well it is time for a visit to the dentist again, I don’t want to go but I will feel better in the end. I finally gave in and called today, I can’t escape this no matter how much I delay. When it gets closer to the actual date, I know I should be on time and must not be late. But there suddenly is this fear that is gripping me, I pray for snow, a blizzard, anything you see. It is really very easy when you first get there, They have pretty music and a nice soft chair. The receptionist is always as pleasant as can be, But she doesn’t share my fear, don’t you see. I know sooner or later and I am fully aware, They are going to put me in that dreaded chair. Is it just a cleaning of my teeth I need today?, I hope so and it is not too long I have to stay. All kinds of things hanging everywhere, Enough to give anyone a good scare. Have you ever heard the sound of the drill?, The sound of that thing will give you a chill. There are very dark goggles to protect your eyes, Hiding things though and you are in for a big surprise. The stuff that they give you to make your gums numb, That taste is it cherry or bubble gum? I grip the arms of the chair as hard as I can, I even stop breathing but that is not part of the plan. The dentist is always so nice and has a special way, Of saying to me, “Are you ok?” When they are all through and I can finally get away, I try to remember to tell them thanks and have a nice day. My dentist really is very special you see, I am glad they have the patience to put up with me. © Brenda Sparkman February 2004

Family ~ Inspiration

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,  "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.  He said, "Please excuse me, too;   I wasn't really watching for you."  We were very polite, this stranger and I.  We went on our way and we said good-bye.  But at home a different story is told,   How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal,   My son stood beside me very still.  When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.  "Move out of the way," I said with a frown.  He walked away, his little heart broken.  I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.  While I lay awake that night in bed,  God's still small voice came to me and said,   "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use,  But the children you love, you seem to abuse.  Go and look on the kitchen floor,  You'll find some flowers there by the door.  Those are the flowers he brought for you.  He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.  He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,   You never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."  By this time, I was feeling very small,  And then my tears began to fall.  I quietly went and knelt by his bed;   "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.  "Are these the flowers you picked for me?"  He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.  I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.  I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."  I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;   I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."  He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.  I love you anyway."  I said, "Son, I love you too,  and I do like the flowers,  especially the blue."

A Worry-Free Day Today!

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry: One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares,   its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. We cannot undo a single act we performed;   we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone forever. The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow   with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance;   Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise,   either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,   for it is yet to be born. This leaves only one day, Today.   Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities   Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down. Live but one day at a time! :)

Why Computers Crash ~ Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss Explains... Why Computers Crash  (Read this to yourself aloud - it's great!) If a packet hits a pocket On a socket on a port And the bus is interrupted At a very last resort And the access of the memory Makes your floppy disk abort Then the socket packet pocket Has an error to report If your cursor finds a menu item Followed by a dash And the double-clicking icon Puts your window in the trash And your data is corrupted Cuz the index doesn't hash Then the situation's hopeless And your system's gonna crash If the label on the cable At your house Says the network is connected to The button on your mouse But your packets want to Tunnel to another protocol That's repeatedly rejected By the printer down the hall And your screen is all distorted By the side effects of gauss So your icons in the window Are as wavy as a souse Then you may as well reboot And go out with a bang Cuz sure as I'm a poet The sucker's gonna hang ! When the copy of your floppy's Getting sloppy in the disc And the microcode instructions Cause unnecessary risk Then you'll have to flash the memory And you'll want to RAM your ROM Quickly turn off the computer And be sure to tell your Mom! Well, that certainly clears things up for me.   How about you?

The Last Leaves On The Tree

[Not to be confused with the Tom Waits or Willie Nelson Songs]

We're starting like a river, wild and free, 

covering out our path through history.

Every dawn of promise, every night of prayer, 

holding on to moments. I'm aware of the wear and tear. 

Seasons turn, the leaves fall down.
Whispers of the past, a silent sound. 

We watch them go one by one, 

feeling the way to what's been done.

Now we're the last leaves on the tree. 

Fading in the cold just hanging free.

Saying goodbye in a quiet song. 

Know that it's right, but it feels so wrong.

Time's a river that never stays

 sweeping us along it way.

We were young, now we're old.
There's some stories that need to be told. 

The circle turns and life moves on
to we're the last, till all is gone.

We're the last leaves on the tree. 

Holding on to meories. 

We danced in the sunlight.  Drank from the well. 

Build a house of dreams.  A story to tell.

The shadows grew longer, the seasons changed, 

and every loved one, quietly, they've gone away.

[instrumental]

Time to sleep in the night's embrace. 

Takin' parts of our soul, leaving no trace. 

We say our goodbyes in the saddest way.

 Knowing it's part of the break of day.

Now we're the last leaves on the tree.
Fading in the cold, just hangin' free.
Saying goodbye in a quiet song.
Know it is right, but it feels so wrong.

Time's a river that never stays, sweepin' us along its way.

We were young, now we're old, passing stories that need to be told.

The circles turn and life moves on. 

Til we're the last till all is gone.
We're the last leaves on the tree

holding on to memories.


And I wonder if they're looking down from a place beyond this town,
Whispering softly through the breeze, reminding me

 life's just a leaf on the trees.


So I'll stand here in the winds low cry, watch the seasons, say goodbye.
One by one they've gone ahead, leaving me the last 

where they once lived.


We're the last leaves on the tree.
Just a whisper of what used to be.

Why Worry? There's only 2 things in life you have to worry about ...

Why Worry? There are only two things in life to worry about: Whether you are well or whether you are sick. If you are well ... then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are sick ... there are only two things to worry about: Whether you are going to get well, or whether you are going to die. If you get well ... then there is nothing to worry about. But if you die, there are only two things to worry about: Whether you are going to go to heaven ... or whether you are going to go to hell. If you go to heaven ... , then you have nothing to worry about. But if you go to hell ... , you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends, that you won't have time to worry!

Ten Ways to Stay Young

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her. 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," the devil's name is Alzheimer's.  4. Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young, that is all that you can afford. When they are in college, that is all that you can afford. When you are on retirement, that is all that you can afford! 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive laughter. 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, don't put out a mailbox on the highway of death and just wait in residence for your mail 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is 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. Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country, but don't go to guilt country. 10. Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Ten Healthy Habits

These 10 healthy habits for vitality, often depicted in wellness illustrations and clipart, include:

Stay Hydrated: Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep your skin plump and energized.
Wear Sunscreen: Protect your face and neck from UV rays to prevent wrinkles and dark spots.
Eat a Plant-Rich Diet: Fill your plate with fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins for antioxidants and nutrients.
Exercise Regularly: Keep your body flexible and strong with activities like walking, yoga, or swimming.
Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7 - 9 hours of restful sleep to allow your body to repair and recharge.
Limit Sugar & Processed Foods: Reduce intake of refined sugars, which can accelerate skin aging.
>Maintain Social Connections: Spend time with friends and family to lower stress and boost mental health.
Manage Stress: Practice meditation, deep breathing, or your favorite hobbies to lower cortisol levels.
Challenge Your Mind: Read, do crossword puzzles, or learn new skills to keep your brain sharp.
Smile Often: A happy, smiling face is universally perceived as more youthful and vibrant.

What Is a Gramma? (+ FamilyCircus)

I received this description in yet another email forward and thought it was amusingly cute and yet adorable! So i decided to add it to these Greetings also. A Grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own. She likes other people's little girls and boys. A Grandfather is a man Grandma. He goes for walks with boys and they talk about fishing and stuff like that.  Grandmothers don't have to do anything except to be there. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is enough if they drive us to the market where the pretend horse is, and have lots of dimes ready. Or if they take us for walks, they should slow down past thingslike pretty leaves and caterpillars. They should never say "hurry up."  Usually, Grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums off.  Grandmothers don't have to be smart, only answer questions like "Why isn't God married?" and "Why do dogs chase cats?"  Grandmothers don't talk baby talk like mothers do, because it is hard to understand. When they read to us, they don't skip or mind if it is the same story over again.  Everyone should try to have a Grandmother, especially if they don't have a TV, because they are the only grown ups who have time.
