good week everyone. Janet
The top 11 Hints for Life
1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return,
But what is more painful is to love someone and
never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
2. A sad thing in life is when you meet
someone who means a lot to you, only
to find out in the end that it was never
meant to be and you just have to let go.
3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit
on a porch swing with, never say a word,
and then walk away feeling like it was
the best conversation you’ve ever had.
4. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got
until we lose it, but it’s also true that we
don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.

[diabetics] booklet
Babs,
I was a typesetter, columnist, proofreader, layout, sales, wedding (society)
editor, lessee….what did I leave out? Oh, BTW, that was parttime - 2 days
a week!! But I know the importance of proofreading (which I should ALWAYS
do before sending my posts - tee hee). I was also taught to proof out loud
(alone) because your eyes have to hit each word. Silent proofing allows your
eyes to scan, skipping over words. Therefore, when I print it out and
reassemble it, Mr. Jan will be able to be my aide. I have a friend who
would like to do it but she says things like: “Our car’s too dirty; we don’t
dare wash it.” “The big phone book that’s little.” “We have all these
empty boxes full of stuff.”
Sad thing is, some of what she says makes sense! 8^)
I gotta go back to bed. It’s too early out.

Jan..
Just a thought but maybe what would help is a third party proofreader.
I know how it is to look at something 50 times and still miss a dumb mistake.
I was an editor before I decided to pass the paper along and stay home w. my kids.
just my .o2 : )
Welcome, Rob,
We are a *looney* bunch of *sweet* people on this list - or the parent of a
sweet person. We are also an international group. Our list owner, Iris, is
from Canada; we have others from Canada; a teenager, Sarah Fish is from
Australia; another teenager, Courtney Collins, who I believe is from Ireland
but we haven’t heard from her for awhile; and certainly NOT least, Marius
Calitz from South Africa. I’m sure he will respond, including forwarding
this post with my words adjusted to his betterment. Watch out for him; he’ll
tell you *wonderful* things about himself that are mostly prevaricted. Then
there is a large group of us from USA, some from warmer parts and some
from colder-to-cooler parts. I’m from the northern part of Indiana and am
called w.O.w.
Marius, or M, or SIR (he wants us to stand at attention out of respect when
we type that - in all caps) says I’m the wisest person HE knows (he must not
know many) including that Chinese philosopher, Confusion. Thus, wise OLD

Joke #4 is lost in cyberspace : (
A man is eating in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous blonde eating
at the next table. He has been checking her out all night, but lacks the
nerve to go talk to her. Suddenly she sneezes and her glass eye comes flying
out of her socket towards the man. He reflexively grabs and snatches it out
of the air.
“Oh, I am sooo sorry,” the woman says, as she pops her eye back in place.
“Let me buy you dinner to make it up to you.” They enjoy a wonderful dinner
together and afterwards the woman invites him to the theater followed by
drinks. After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come
to breakfast the next morning. When he arrives the next morning, she has
cooked a gourmet meal with all the trimmings.
The guy is amazed!! “You know, you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice
to every guy you meet?”
“No, she replies …………..
(Wait for it…….)

A couple of blond *men* in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard.
One of the blond men walked in the office and said, “We need some
four-by-twos.”
The clerk said, “You mean two-by-fours, don’t you?”
The man said, “I’ll go check,” and went back to the truck.
He returned a minute later and said, “Yeah, I meant two-by-fours.”
“All right. How long do you need them?”
The customer paused for a minute and said, “Uh… I’d better go check.”
After a while, the blond returned to the office and said, “A long time.
We’re gonna build a house.”
A mother was reading a book about animals to her 3
year old
daughter:
Mother: “What does the cow say?”
Child: “Moooo!”
Mother: “Great! What does the cat say?”
Child: “Meow.”
Mother: “Oh, you’re so smart! What does the frog
say?”
And this wide-eyed little three-year-old looked up
at her mother
and replied, “Bud.”
