Friendship 2

Howdy Friends ~~ I hope this day finds you well and

happy. Everything here is working well, for a change,

so I am fine. I found a nice poem called “Friendship”

which I hope you will enjoy.

<><><><><><>

I’d like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me,

I’d Like to be the help that you are always glad to be.

I’d like to mean as much to you, each minute of the day,

As you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way.

<><><><><><>

I’d like to do the big things and the splendid things for you,

To brush the grey from out your skies and leave them only blue

I’d like to say the kind things that I so oft have heard,

And feel that I could rouse your soul the way that mine you

stirred.

<><><><><><><>

I’d like to give you back the joy that you have given me,

Yet, that were wishing you a need I hope will never be.

I’d like to make you feel as rich, as I who travel on

Undaunted in the darkest hours, with you to lean upon.

<><><><><><><><>

I’m wishing at this very time that I could but repay

A portion of the gladness that you’ve strewn along my way

And could I have but one wish today, this only would it be….

I’d like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me.

<><><> The New Goden Rule. <><><>

It is difficult ……….

To forget

to forgive

to excuse

to take advice

tp avoid mistakes

to admit one’s faults

to be unselfish

to save

to be charitable

to be considerate

to get out of a rut

to make a little go a long way

to be strong in adversity

to control oneself

to be able to start from scratch

to be on form – always

to keep at it

to think first and then act,.

……. but it’s a good idea !!!

<><><><><> Joke Time Now <><><><><>

A cowboy told his grandson the secret to a long life.

He said," You gotta sprinkle a little gunpowder on your

oatmeal, see. If you do, you'll live to a nice old age."

So the cowboy did this religiously every day, and sure

enough, lived to the nice old age of 96.

When he died he left behind, 4 children, 8 grandchildren,

15 great-grandchildren.....and a 16 foot hole in the wall

of the cremitorium.

Should all those men who have gone out with Paris Hilton

be known as Paris-ites ?

A woman goes to the doctor for her annual check-up.

The nurse starts with certan basic items.

“How much do you weigh?” she asks.

“Fifty five kilos,” she says.

The nurse put her on the scales which shoot straight

up to sixy five kilos.

“How tall are you?” asks the nurse.

“One hundred and seventy centimetres,” she says.

The nurse checks and the woman tops out at 160 cm.

So she takes the patient’s blood pressure, and comments

that it is very high.

“Of course it’s high,” screams the woman.

“When I came in here I was tall and slender !!

Now I am short and fat !!”

A man and woman were discussing life and death,

The husband told his wife that he did not want to exist

in a vegetative state, dependant on some machine and

taking fluids from a bottle.

So the wife unplugged the TV and threw out all of

his beer.
