Random Thought of the Day

[Bell]

MORAL FOR TODAY

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.. He was astonished at whathe saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

*****
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more.
Expect less

NOW .........
Enough of that crap . The donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.

I can't give anything for sure. And I expect nothing for sure. I don't think any of you guys have ever been broke.

Free your mind from worries? hahahhaa. What a hoot.

Live simply? You can't do it any better than me right now.

Some of that shit is a dream.

Reality kinda sucks.

MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:
When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you in the Ass.

A Dog is a Man's best friend!

If you don't think so, just lock your Dog and your wife in the trunk of the car for a couple of hours, come back and see who is happy to see you!

Communist States target 3 groups right out of the gate. Immigrants (hard to regulate), elitist liberal thinkers (cause they bitch all the time), and the non-producing members of the society (parasites).

Why are these three groups advocating the change to Communism?

[Guymullins]

Because, even Communists know a shithead when they see one.

In one of the FX's I was in I bothered to keep the Accessory Pack from one of the C-Cations I was given. OK, its aluminum wrapper. I figured one day it would be worth memories. A few months ago somebody posted a retirement ceremony of a Bird Colonel. He kept a can of pound cake from one of his C-Rats from when he was in Viet Nam. He never opened it until his retirement. I believe him when he said the cake was still good.

I tried to scan the wrapper but it didn't do too good. I'll try again this weekend.

I remember them too.
The thing is, I only saw the cigs in Basic, nowhere else.

The Chesterfields would damn near blow up when you tried to light one they were so dry.
