  1. “After having dug to a depth of 10 metres last year, British scientists

    found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion

    that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years

    ago.

    Not to be outdone by the POMS, in the weeks that followed, Australian

    scientists dug to a depth of 20 metres, and shortly after, headlines in the

    Aussie newspapers read: "Australian archaeologists have found traces of 150

    year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an

    advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the Brits.

    One week later, Maori TV reported the following: "After digging as deep as

    30 metres in his backyard in Te Kuiti, Hone Waiata, a King Country Kaumatua,

    reported that he found absolutely nothing. Hone has therefore concluded that

    300 years ago Maori had already gone wireless."

  2. Good morning all,

    Three days of a new snow storm

    started during the night.....

    Grateful I still can use

    a shovel to make a path

    to the car shelter...

    Grateful that half the

    winter is over....

    That is really from the

    bottom of the Gratitude barrel.

    I believe in the sun even

    when it is not shining.

    I believe in love even when

    not feeling it.

    I believe in God even when

    He is silent.

    Have a good day.

  3. Already lost my post,

    Grateful for the help I got

    yesterday, help not wanted

    or needed.

    Don't worry if you start

    losing your memory.

    Just forget about it.

    Many complain of their

    memory, few of their judgment.

  4. Sharon,

    I'll put my two cents where it is not needed.

    Mike (my husband) could have been operated

    in the States, where treatment are more advanced

    than here in Quebec, Canada.

    We had private insurance that paid for needed medical

    expenses anywhere in the world, he refused.

    Tried for him and for myself to make him change his mind,

    impossible........stubborn Irish man.

    so he had chemo and radiation never got sick

    during the treatments but *no operation*

    After I accepted his decision during and after

    the treatments were finished,

    we had the most enjoyable time of our life,

    He was bedridden from October 7th am,

    councious and happy and died while

    sleeping on October 13th..........

    His only regret, having to leave me, but

    proud of the marvelous time he gave me.

    He made the best decision possible for himself

    and was happier with quality of time instead

    of quantity of it.

  5. Monday.....

    first day of the week for

    those that work, hope all

    goes well for them.

    first day of the week for

    those in treatment, wish

    and pray that they all do well.

    Busy week for me, starting

    a new project so, grateful

    I had Sunday as a day to

    rest and time to prepare

    my strategy.

    Twenty years from now you

    will be more disappointed

    by the things *you didn't do*

    than by the ones you did do.

    So throw off the bowlines.

    Sail away from the safe harbor.

    Catch the trade winds in you sails.

    Explore. Dream. Discover.

    Have a good Monday

  6. Very nasty weather for

    a few more days....winter

    is very long this year.

    Grateful for another day

    of quiet time alone.....

    need it, never bore by

    myself.

    The years between fifty and

    seventy are the hardest. You

    are always asked to do things

    and yet you are not decrepit

    enough to turn them down.

    (T.S. Eliot)

    ----------

    Grateful to be decrepit

    now I can say NO!!

    Have a good day.

  7. Barb,

    Blame it on the insurance obliging

    you to switch scanner. Problably

    used a prehistoric scanner to try

    to save money and now the insurance

    will have to pay for two scans instead

    of only one on a modern machine.

    Close and lock that basement door behind

    the insurance representative and the slasher.

    Hate to see you worry for three months,

    you should get word from the surgeon and

    pulmonary docs soon if they are worried.

    Sending relaxing prayers your way.

    Hugs

    Jackie

  8. Good morning all,

    you may be sleeping

    in after a week of work.

    Grateful that today snow storm

    will be a small one, nice that

    white stuff we call snow but

    it should be evenly spread

    all over the planet to be

    enjoyed by everybody.

    I was born in the wrong generation.

    When I was a young man, no one had

    any respect for youth.

    Now I am an old man and no one has

    any respect for age.

    (Bertrand Russell)

    ----------

    so true.

    Have a good day.

  9. Friday, last

    day of the working

    week for many.

    Grateful for friends

    they may be far or near,

    I may have met them

    or will never have that

    chance, but knowing they

    care really brightens my day.

    Grateful that last night I

    could read to my favorite dog

    before I went to sleep under

    watching eyes.

    Fate makes our relatives,

    choice makes our friends.

    without getting a few drops

    on yourself.
