Subj: Seven
Wonders Of The World (S253, S645b)
From: RFSlick on 11/29/2001
(Also see 'Seven
Wonders Of The World II' in Thoughts-Warm-Supp)
A group of Geography students
were asked to list what they
considered to be the Seven Wonders
of the World. Though
there was some disagreement,
the following got the most
votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the
teacher noticed one student,
a quiet girl, hadn't turned
in her paper. So she asked
the girl if she was having trouble
with her list. The
quiet girl replied, "Yes, a
little. I couldn't quite make
up my mind because there were
so many." The teacher said,
"Well, tell us what you have,
and maybe we can help."
The girl hesitated, then read,
"I think the Seven Wonders
of the World are:
1. to touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear
5. to run
6. to laugh
7. and to love
Sometimes we forget what really
matters. May you be
reminded today of those things
which are truly wondrous.

Subj: Remember
When: (S247b)
From: tadams96 on 10/25/2001
(See 'Remember When'
in COMPUTERS3)
This brought back some great
memories, I thought you might
enjoy going back in time.
I know some of you won't remember
some of this stuff but it was
great.
Mom was at home when the kids
got home from school; when
nobody owned a purebred dog;
when a quarter was a decent
allowance, and another quarter
a huge bonus; when you'd
reach into a muddy gutter for
a penny; when all of your
male teachers wore neckties
and female teachers had their
hair done and wore high heels;
when you got your windshield
cleaned, oil checked and gas
pumped without asking, all for
free, every time, and, you didn't
pay for air, and, you got
trading stamps to boot.
When it was considered a great
privilege to be taken out to
dinner at a real restaurant
with your parents; when the
worst thing you could do at
school was smoke in the bathrooms,
flunk a test or chew
gum; when a '57 Chevy was everyone's
dream car, to cruise,
peel out, lay rubber or watch
submarine races; and people
went steady and girls wore a
class ring with an inch of
wrapped yarn so it would fit
her finger.
And no one ever asked where the
car keys were because they
were always in the car, in the
ignition, and the doors
were never locked. And you got
in big trouble if you
accidentally locked the doors
at home, since no one ever
had a key.
Remember lying on your back on
the grass with your friends
and saying things like "That
cloud looks like a ..."
Remember jumping waves at the
ocean for hours in that cold
water; and playing baseball
with no adults to help kids
with the rules of the game because
baseball was not a
psychological group learning
experience, it was a game.
Remember when stuff from the
store came without safety caps
and hermetic seals because no
one had yet tried to poison a
perfect stranger. And
with all our progress, don't you
wish, just once, you could slip
back in time and savor the
slower pace and share it with
the children of today.
Remember when being sent to the
principal's office was
nothing compared to the fate
that awaited a misbehaving
student at home. Basically,
we were in fear for our lives,
but it wasn't because of drive
by shootings, drugs, gangs,
etc. Our parents and grandparents
were a much bigger
threat! But we all survived
because their love was greater
than the threat.
Go back with me for a minute....
Before the Internet or the
MAC... before semi automatics
and crack ... before SEGA or
Super Nintendo... Way back ....
I'm talking about hide and
go seek at dusk, red light,
green light, kick the can,
playing kickball ? dodgeball
until your porch light came on
... and mother may I? red rover,
hula hoops, roller skating
to music, running through the
sprinkler...
And... Catching lightning bugs
in a jar; Christmas morning;
your first day of school; bedtime
prayers and goodnight
kisses; climbing trees; getting
an ice cream off the ice
cream truck; a million mosquito
bites and sticky fingers;
jumping on the bed; pillow fights;
running till you were
out of breath' laughing so hard
your stomach hurt; being
tired from playing; your first
crush...remember that?
I'm not finished yet.... Kool-aid
was the drink of summer;
toting your friends on your
handle bars; wearing your new
shoes on the first day of school
and class field trips.
Didn't that feel good, just
to go back and say, Yeah, I
remember that! There's
nothing like the good old days.
They were good then, and they're
good now when we think
about them. Share some of these
thoughts with a friend who
can relate, then share it with
someone that missed out on
them. I want to go back
to the time when............
Decisions were made by going
"eeny-meeny-miney-mo" and
mistakes were corrected by simply
exclaiming, "do it
over!"
"Race issue" meant arguing about
who ran the fastest;
money issues were handled by
whoever was the banker in
"Monopoly;" catching fireflies
could happily occupy an
entire evening; and it wasn't
odd to have two or three
"best" friends. Being
old referred to anyone over 20
and the worst thing you could
catch from the opposite
sex was cooties.
Scrapes and bruises were kissed
and made better; it was
a big deal to finally be tall
enough to ride the "big
people" rides at the amusement
park; getting a foot of
snow was a dream come true;
abilities were discovered
because of a "double-dog-dare;"
Spinning around, getting
dizzy and falling down was cause
for giggles; the worst
embarrassment was being picked
last for a team; water
balloons were the ultimate weapon;
and older siblings
were the worst tormentors, but
also the fiercest protectors.
If you can remember most or all
of these, then you have
LIVED!!!! Pass this on
to anyone who may need a break
from their "grown up"life. I
DOUBLE DOG DARE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Subj: Who
You Are Makes A Difference (S217)
From: RFSlick on 3/15/2001
A teacher in New York decided
to honor each of her seniors
in high school by telling them
the difference they each made.
She called each student to the
front of the class, one at a
time. First she told each
of them how they had made a
difference to her and the class.
She presented each of them
with a blue ribbon imprinted
with gold letters, which read,
"Who I Am Makes a Difference."
Afterwards the teacher decided
to do a class project to see
what kind of impact recognition
would have on a community.
She gave each of the students
three more ribbons and
instructed them to go out and
spread this acknowledgment
ceremony. They were to
follow up on the results, see who
honored whom and report back
to the class in about a week.
One of the boys in the class
went to a junior executive in a
nearby company and honored him
for helping him with his career
planning. He gave him
a blue ribbon and put it on his shirt.
Then he gave him two extra ribbons
and said, "We're doing a
class project on recognition,
and we'd like you to go out,
find somebody to honor, give
them a blue ribbon, then give
them the extra blue ribbon so
they can acknowledge a third
person to keep this acknowledgment
ceremony going. Then
please report back to me and
tell me what happened."
Later that day the junior executive
went in to see his boss,
who had been noted, by the way,
as being kind of a grouchy
fellow. He sat his boss
down and he told him that he deeply
admired him for being a creative
genius. The boss seemed
very surprised.
The junior executive asked him
if he would accept the gift
of the blue ribbon and would
he give him permission to put
it on him. His surprised
boss said, "Well, sure."
The junior executive took the
blue ribbon and placed it
right on his boss's jacket above
his heart. As he gave
him the last extra ribbon, he
said, "Would you do me a
favor? Would you take
this extra ribbon and pass it on
by honoring somebody else?
The young boy who first gave
me the ribbons is doing a project
in school and we want
to keep this recognition ceremony
going and find out how
it affects people."
That night the boss came home
to his 14-year-old son and
sat him down. He said, "The
most incredible thing happened
to me today. I was in my office
and one of the junior
executives came in and told
me he admired me and gave me a
blue ribbon for being a creative
genius.
Imagine. He thinks I'm a creative
genius. Then he put this
blue ribbon that says 'Who I
Am Makes A Difference' on my
jacket above my heart. He gave
me an extra ribbon and asked
me to find somebody else to
honor. As I was driving home
tonight, I started thinking
about whom I would honor with
this ribbon and I thought about
you. I want to honor you.
My days are really hectic and
when I come home I don't
pay a lot of attention to you.
Sometimes I scream at you
for not getting good enough
grades in school and for your
bedroom being a mess, but somehow
tonight, I just wanted
to sit here and, well, just
let you know that you do make
a difference to me. Besides
your mother, you are the most
important person in my life.
You're a great kid and I
love you!"
The startled boy started to sob
and sob, and he couldn't
stop crying. His whole
body shook. He looked up at his
father and said through his
tears, "Dad, earlier tonight
I sat in my room and wrote a
letter to you and Mom
explaining why I had killed
myself and asking you to
forgive me. I was going
to commit suicide tonight after
you were asleep. I just
didn't think that you cared at
all. The letter is upstairs.
I don't think I need it
after all." His father
walked upstairs and found a
heartfelt letter full of anguish
and pain. The envelope
was addressed, "Mom and Dad".
The boss went back to work a
changed man. He was no
longer a grouch but made sure
to let all his employees
know that they made a difference.
The junior executive helped several
other young people
with career planning and never
forgot to let them know
that they made a difference
in his life...one being the
boss's son. And the young
boy and his classmates learned
a valuable lesson. Who you are
DOES make difference.
You are under no obligation to
send this on to anyone...
not to two people or to two
hundred. As far as I am
concerned, you can delete it
and move on to the next
message. But if you have
anyone who means a lot to you,
I encourage you to send him
or her this message and let
them know. You never know what
kind of difference a
little encouragement can make
to a person.
I give you a blue ribbon. Who
you are makes a difference,
and I wanted you to know that
I appreciate who you are
and what you do.
Thank you sincerely,
Roger

Subj: Thoughts
Of Eleanor Roosevelt (S158)
From: RFSlickon on 02/08/2000
(Also See - 'An Angel' in this file)
Many people will walk in and
out of your life, but only
true friends will leave footprints
in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your
head;
To handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once,
it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it
is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
He who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses
much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are accidents
of nature,
But beautiful old people are
works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to
make them all yourself.
Friends, you and me....
You brought another friend....
And then there were 3....
We started our group....
Our circle of friends....
And like that circle....
There is no beginning or end....
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present.
From: LABLaughs@LABLaughs.com on 3/3/2002
(S266c)
What one has to do, usually
can be done.
-- Eleanor Roosevelt
From: Imogenelumen on 1/27/2004 (S366)
I once had a rose named after
me and I was very flattered.
But I was not pleased to read
the description in the
catalogue: "No good in a bed,
but fine up against a wall".

Subj: A Friend
(S153)
From: gheckman on 12/19/1999
A Friend should be Radical, Fanatical,
and Most of All,
Mathematical!!
A Friend should be Radical;
They should love you when you're
unlovable,
Hug you when you're unhuggable,
And bear you when you're unbearable.
A Friend should be Fanatical;
They should cheer when the whole
world boos,
Dance when you get good news,
And cry when you cry too.
But most of all, a Friend should
be Mathematical,
They should multiply the joy,
Divide the sorrow,
Subtract the past, And add to
tomorrow,
Calculate the need deep in your
heart,
And always be bigger than the
sum of all their parts.

Subj: My Resignation
As An Adult: (S136)
From: gheckman on 9/3/99
To Whom it May Concern:
I am hereby officially tendering
my resignation as an adult.
I have decided I would like
to accept the responsibilities
of an 8 year old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and
think that it's a four star
restaurant. I want to
sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle
and make ripples with rocks.
I want to think M?Ms are better
than money because you can
eat them. I want to play
dodge ball at recess and paint
with watercolors in art.
I want to lie under a big oak tree
and run a lemonade stand with
my friends on a hot summer's
day.
I want to return to a time when
life was simple. When all
you knew were colors, multiplication
tables, and nursery
rhymes,but that didn't bother
you, because you didn't
know what you didn't know and
you didn't care. All you knew
was to be happy because you
were blissfully unaware of all
the things that should make
you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is
fair. That everyone is honest
and good. I want to believe
that anything is possible.
Somewhere in our youth, we matured
and learned too much.
There are nuclear weapons, war,
prejudice, and abused
children. Lies,unhappy
marriages,illness, pain, and death.
What happened to the time when
we thought that everyone
could live forever, because
we didn't grasp the concept of
death? When the worst
thing in the world was if someone
took the jump rope from you
or picked you last for kickball.
I want to be oblivious to the
complexities of life and be
overly excited by the little
things again.
I remember being naive and thinking
everyone was happy
because I was. Afternoons were
spent climbing trees and
fences and riding my bike.
I never worried about time,
bills, or where I was going
to find the money to fix my car.
I used to wonder what I was going
to do or be when I grew
up, not worry about what I'll
do if this doesn't work out.
I want to live simple again.
I want to believe in the power
of smiles, hugs, a kind word,
truth, justice, peace, dreams,
the imagination, mankind,
and making angels in the snow.
So.... here's my checkbook and
my car-keys, my credit card
bills and my 401K statements.
I am officially resigning from
adulthood.
And if you want to discuss this
further, you'll have to catch
me first, 'cause, "TAG! You're
it."

From: TAdams on 2/28/00
(Also see 'Children's
Letters To God' in GOD2)
Kids talking to God... I
love their innocence.
Dear GOD,
Instead of letting people die
and
having to make new ones, why
don't you just keep the ones
You have?
Dear GOD,
Maybe Cain and Abel would not
kill each other so much if they
had
their own rooms. It works with
my brother.
-Larry
Dear GOD,
If You watch me in church on
Sunday, I'll show You my new
shoes.
-Love Mickey
Dear GOD,
I bet it is very hard for You
to love
all of everybody in the whole
world.
There are only 4 people in our
family and I can never do it.
-Nan
Dear GOD,
In school they told us what
You do.
Who does it when You are on
vacation?
-Jane
Dear GOD,
Are You really invisible or
is it just a trick?
-Lucy
Dear GOD,
Is it true my father won't get
in
Heaven if he uses his bowling
words in the house?
-Anita
Dear GOD,
Did You mean for the giraffe
to look like that or was it
an
accident?
-Norma
Dear GOD,
Who draws the lines around the
countries?
-Nan
Dear GOD,
I went to this wedding and they
kissed right in church. Is that
okay?
-Neil
Dear GOD,
Did You really mean "do unto
others as they do unto you"?
Because if you did, then I'm
going to fix my brother.
-Darla
Dear GOD,
Thank you for the baby brother,
but what I prayed for was a
puppy.
-Joyce
Dear GOD,
Please send me a pony. I never
asked for anything before -
You
can look it up.
-Bruce
Dear GOD,
If we come back as something
-
Please don't let me be Jennifer
Horton because I hate her.
-Denise
Dear GOD,
I want to be just like my Daddy
when I get big but not with
so
much hair all over.
-Sam
Dear GOD,
You don't have to worry about
me.
I always look both ways.
-Dean
Dear GOD,
I think the stapler is one of
your greatest inventions.
-Ruth
Dear GOD,
I think about You sometimes
even when I'm not praying.
-Elliott
Dear GOD,
Of all the people who work for
You I like Noah and David the
best.
-your friend, Rob
Dear GOD,
My brother told me about being
born but it doesn't sound right.
They're just kidding, aren't

-Marsha
Dear GOD,
I would like to live 900 years

-Love, Chris
Dear GOD,
We read Thomas Edison made light.
But in Sunday school they said
You did it. So I bet he stole
your idea.

I didn't think orange went with

You

Subj: A Child
Talks To God (S125)
From: RFSlick on 6/18/99
The little child whispered,
"God, speak to me"
And a meadowlark sang.
But the child did not hear.
So the child yelled,
"God, speak to me!"
And the thunder rolled across
the sky
But the child did not listen.
The child looked around and
said,
"God let me see you"
And a star shone brightly
But the child did not notice.
And the child shouted,
"God show me a miracle!"
And a life was born
But the child did not know.
So the child cried out in despair,
"Touch me God, and let me know
you are
there!"
Whereupon God reached down
And touched the child.
But the child brushed the butterfly
away
And walked off unknowingly.
Take time to listen. Often
times, the things we seek
are right underneath our noses.
Don't miss out on your
blessing because it isn't packaged
the way that you expect....

From: Joke-Of-The-Day-Mail.com on 12/7/2006
It takes strength
to be firm.
It takes courage to be gentle.
It takes strength
to stand guard.
It takes courage to let down your guard.
It takes strength
to conquer
It takes courage to surrender.
It takes strength
to be certain.
It takes courage to have doubt.
It takes strength
to fit in.
It takes courage to stand out.
It takes strength
to feel a friend's pain.
It takes courage to feel your own pain.
It takes strength
to hide feelings.
It takes courage to show them.
It takes strength
to endure abuse.
It takes courage to stop it.
It takes strength
to stand alone.
It takes courage to lean on another.
It takes strength
to love.
It takes courage to be loved.
It takes strength
to survive.
It takes courage to live.

Subj: Long
May You (S124)
From: smiles on 6/12/99
(c) 1999 Howard V. Barton
Long may you play, long may the
sun shine upon your face,
long may you laugh, long may
you prosper, long may you
be free,
long may happiness be your friend,
long may your flag wave,
long may you dance within the
light, long may you
sleep healthy nights,
long may you bloom, long may
your dreams walk with you
along the shore.
Yes, my friend, long may the
wind kiss your face,
long may the blood flow within
your veins,
long may the sun caress your
skin,
long may your connection hold,
long may your hit counter run.
Amen, fellow netizen of the world,
long may you eat where the cupboard
is not bare,
long may you remain unchained,
long may you remain free,
long may you run a perfect race,
long may a smile light your
face.
Long may you enjoy the seasons,
savor life's taste,
long may you love, long may
you lay with the one that
is for you,
long may we meet, long may we
greet each other
in cyberspace,
long may peace reign, long may
love be a four letter word,
long may your children play,
long be your day, happy
be the way.
Again, fellow netizen of the
world,
long may there be boys, long
may there be girls,
long may you see and touch and
feel,
long may you live, my friend,
long may you hit send.
Long

Subj: An Angel
(DU)
From: auntieg on 98-06-06
(Also See - 'Thoughts Of Eleanor
Roosevelt' in this file)
Many people will walk
in and out of your life,
but only true friends
will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use
your head;
To handle others, use
your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you
once, it's his fault;
if he betrays you twice,
it's your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss
events;
Small minds discuss people.
God gives every bird it's
food,
But He does not throw
it into it's nest.
He who loses money, loses
much;
He who loses a friend,
loses more;
He who loses faith, loses
all.
Beautiful young people
are acts of nature,
But beautiful old people
are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes
of others.
You can't live long enough
to make them all yourself.
The tongue weighs practically
nothing,
But so few people can
hold it.
Friends, you and me....
you brought another friend...
and then there were 3...
we started our group...
Our circle of friends...
and like that circle...
there is no beginning
or end..
Here is an angel sent
to watch over you...

The star catcher grinned
and whispered a plan,
"I'll catch all the stars
that I possibly can.
Then give them to all
of my friends so they will truly see
how sparkling and special

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Friends are a very rare jewel,
indeed. They make you smile
and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share
a word of praise, and they always
want to open their heart
to us. Show your friends
how much you appreciate them and
what they mean to you..
Happy Friendship Week!

Subj: Friends
(S133, S529)
From: RFSlick on 98-12-09
and
From: TA989287 on 8/16/99
Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has
no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks
rush on,
And before I know it, a year
is gone
And I never see my old friend's
face,
For life is a swift and terrible
race,
He knows I like him just as
well,
As in the days when I rang
his bell,
And he rang mine.
If, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired
men.
Tired of playing a foolish
game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call
on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking
of
him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow
goes,
And distance between us grows
and grows.
Around the corner!- yet miles
away,
"Here's a telegram sir - "Jim
died today."
And that's what we get and deserve
in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished
friend.
If you love someone, tell them.
Remember always to say what you mean.
Never be afraid to express yourself.
Take this opportunity to tell
someone
what they mean to you.
Seize the day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close
to your
friends and family,
for they have helped make you
the
person that you are today
and are what it's all about
anyway.

Subj: Simple
vs. Real Friends (S103)
From: auntieg on 99-01-17
Anyone can stand by you when you are
right,
but a Friend will stand
by you even when you are wrong...
A simple friend identifies himself
when he calls.
A real friend doesn't have to...
A simple friend opens a conversation
with a full news
bulletin on his life.
A real friend says, "What's new with
you?"...
A simple friend thinks the problems
you whine about are recent.
A real friend says, "You've been whining
about the same
thing for 14 years.
Get off your duff and do something
about it."...
A simple friend has never seen you
cry.
A real friend has shoulders soggy
from your tears...
A simple friend doesn't know your parents'
first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers
in his address book...
A simple friend hates it when you call
after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took
so long to call...
A simple friend seeks to talk with
you about your problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with
your problems...
A simple friend wonders about your
romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you
with it...
A simple friend, when visiting, acts
like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator
and helps himself...
A simple friend thinks the friendship
is over when you
have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not
a friendship until
after you've had a fight...
A simple friend expects you to always
be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be
there for you!

Subj: Poem
About Friendship (S140)
From: RFSlick on 10/07/1999
IF I COULD CATCH A RAINBOW
I WOULD DO IT JUST FOR YOU
AND SHARE WITH YOU ITS BEAUTY
ON THE DAYS YOU'RE FEELING BLUE
IF I COULD BUILD A MOUNTAIN
YOU COULD CALL YOUR VERY OWN
A PLACE TO FIND SERENITY
A PLACE TO BE ALONE
IF I COULD TAKE YOUR TROUBLES
I WOULD TOSS THEM INTO THE SEA
BUT ALL THESE THINGS I'M FINDING
ARE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME
I CANNOT BUILD A MOUNTAIN
OR CATCH A RAINBOW FAIR
BUT LET ME BE WHAT I KNOW BEST
A FRIEND THAT'S ALWAYS THERE.

Subj: Because
You're My Friend (S190, S488b)
From: KMACINTY on 9/18/00
and
From: gattica30 on 5/25/2006
From me to you........just because
Friend,
When you are sad,...I will get
you drunk and help you
plot revenge against the sorry
bastard who made you sad.
When you are blue,...I'll try
to dislodge whatever is
choking you.
When you smile,...I'll know you finally got laid.
When you are scared,.........
I will laugh at you and tease
you about it every chance I
get.
When you are worried,.........I
will tell you how much worse
it could be and to quit complaining.
When you are confused,........I
will use little words to
explain it to your dumb ass.
When you are sick.........I will
hold your hair while you pay
homage to the porcelain god.
When you fall......I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.
This is my oath...............I pledge till the end.
Why you may ask?..............Because you're my friend.
P.S. A friend will help you move.
A really good friend will help
you move a body.

(S213)
From: flovilla on 3/3/2001
Work like you don't need the
money.
Love like you've never been
hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's heaven on earth.
It's National friendship week
Pass this on and brighten somebody's
day.
