WITandWISDOM(tm) - August 23, 2004 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: Do things to make your day precious. - Bernie Siegel, Physician Source: DailyInBox: Bits & Pieces, http://your.dailyinbox.com/bp/ ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: I ran short of money while visiting my brother, and borrowed $50 from him. After my return home, I wrote him a short letter every few weeks, enclosing a $5 check in each one. He called me up and told me how much he enjoyed the letters, regardless of the money; I had never written regularly before. Eventually I sent off a letter and the last five-dollar check. In my mail box the next week I found an envelope from my brother. Inside was another $50.

How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink? Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. What happens if you get scared half to death twice? My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder." Why do psychics have to ask you for your name? A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking. The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread. The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard. The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

After he presented a number of different situations in which they might find themselves, he asked a student, "What steps would you take if someone were coming at you with a large, sharp knife?" The student replied, "BIG ones." Source: Cascade_Express(tm) E-Zine, mailto:Cascade_Express-subscribe@yahoogroups.com ~~~~~~~ TRIVIA: To Read E-Mails In Larger or Smaller Text . . .
