Thank you so much!! &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& But I am serious about the need to think about how we can REALLY "even the playing field". We already know that about 90% of those who control of the money supply will NOT help, no matter what they say. What do we do now? That's my default rant!.................................................Thanks again,......d  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% What do we do , Dear Deva? "The Desiderata" is the answer! Look for it on the Net. To it, add this prayer( whether you believe in prayer or not) God, grant us the... Serenity to accept things we cannot change, Courage to change the things we can, and the Wisdom to know the difference Patience for the things that take time Appreciation for all that we have, and Tolerance for those with different struggles Freedom to live beyond the limitations of our past ways, the Ability to feel your love for us and our love for each other and the Strength to get up and try again even when we feel it is hopeless. ***************************************************************************************************** Your living depends on you surviving the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."

Quote: But consider, my friend, this may not be the best use of prayer. Similar to prayer's lack of efficacy in improving survival of ICU patients. PRAYER Prayer is not an arrow You can carry in your quiver That simply waits inert to save you When they sell you down the river. It’s more like a change in attitude To lighten up your liver, Laying out a little gratitude That’s likely to get bigger ‘Til the day the “Big Guy” Decides its time For filling up Your jigger, And your Life just starts all over This time knowing where to find the triggers Of your mind. So you’re not blind, Expanding bigger. Copyright September 27th, 2010 CrazyGrampa

RE: CORPORATE BOA CONSTRICTORSQuote: DESIDERATA Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, They too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; It is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; Many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Max Ehrmann c.1920 Quote: Thank you, Orin. You're right. Thanks for keeping me straight..........d |
