    LOL Drinking beer doesn't make you fat, It makes you lean... Against bars, tables, chairs, and poles! Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. Lol

    My Father in Law had so many - most are not printable :(. They weren't too fresh, but nevertheless, naughty.

    "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -- Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989

    This was a quote from the Little Prince. It may be very simple but it made an impact on me as a child and I have held on to it even as an adult:

    "What is essential is invisible to the eye."

    “You can shed tears that she is gone,
    or you can smile because she has lived.
    You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
    or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
    Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
    or you can be full of the love you shared.
    You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
    or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
    You can remember her only that she is gone,
    or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
    You can cry and close your mind,
    be empty and turn your back.
    Or you can do what she'd want:
    smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

    In loving memory of my high school friend, Faith.

    Just a "symphony of random" this morning...

    Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.
    -- Gloria Naylor

    All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
    -- Havelock Ellis

    I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
    -- Louisa May Alcott

    A chord, stronger or weaker, is snapped asunder in every parting, and time's busy fingers are not practiced in re-splicing broken ties. Meet again you may; will it be in the same way? With the same sympathies? With the same sentiments? Will the souls, hurrying on in diverse paths, unite once more, as if the interval had been a dream? Rarely, rarely! ~Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton

    "False hope is still hope."
    - a silly quote used in my house in naughty context concerning the desire for "intimate moments" and the many failed attempts that occur with a young child running the home. For ex "hes still asleep. want to slip into the bedroom? sure! false hope is still hope!"

    "Wealth belongs to those who create it"
    - not to get all capitalistic with this one, its more about finding the power in yourself to enrich your life with what you choose for yourself. Wealth in happiness, in health, in security, etc... can come from within even when outside sources block your way. All you can do is all you can do.

    "You are obstinate and always wrong"
    - a quote from a fortune cookie my wife gave me from her meal. She didn't understand why I was upset when she gave be her prized cookie half dipped in chocolate and I pulled the message out.

    "Absence of proof is not proof of absence"
    - lots of ways to spin this. The scientist in me uses this to understand what we know compared to what we believe or what we don't understand. Obvious spiritual overtones can be seen as well.

    I'm in a Gilmore Girls mood today... fits well with the current "Whack-A-Chicky" state at work....

    Lorelai: Michel - the phone!
    Michel: Yes. It rings.
    Lorelai: Can you answer it?
    Michel: No. People are particularly stupid today. I can't talk to any more of them.
    _______________
    Luke: She's not here yet.
    Lorelai: Okay! Well, you'll have to entertain me 'til she gets here. Ok Burger Boy, DANCE!
    Luke: Will you marry me?
    Lorelai: What?
    Luke: Just looking for something to shut you up.
    _______________
    Babette: Oh, and just you wait 'til spring. You're going to wake up one morning, walk out, and pow - color coming out of your yin-yang! I'll see you girls tomorrow. [goes into her house]
    Lorelai: I'm going to have color coming out of my yin-yang.
    Rory: Good then, finally you'll be able to keep a man.
