"QUOTES"
The great man is he who does not lose his child's heart ..
A Father is not someone to lean on, but someone who makes leaning unnecessary.
To be in your child's memories tomorrow ... you have to be in their lives today.
Fathers learn a lot from children about coping with life.
You can learn many things from children ... how much patience you have, for instance.
SOME FATHERLY ADVICE AND WORDS OF WISDOM
(Do Any Of These Sound Familiar To You?)
"Were you raised in a barn? Close the door!"
"Big boys don't cry."
"Now you listen to me, Buster!"
"A little dirt never hurt anyone ... just wipe it off."
"You call that a haircut?"
"This will hurt me a lot more than it will hurt you."
"Don't give me any of your lip, young lady."
"As long as you live under my roof ...
you'll live by my rules."
"What's so funny? Wipe that smile off your face!"
"Eat it! It will grow hair on your chest."
"Stop crying or I'll give you a reason to cry!"
"You have it so easy ... when I was your age...
I had to walk to school in 10 feet of snow
up hill both ways."
"What do you think I am ... a bank?"
"If you break your leg, don't come running to me."

My Father ~ When I Was Young
4 years old
"My daddy can do anything."
5 years old
"My daddy knows a whole lot."
6 years old
"My dad is smarter than your dad."
8 years old
"My dad doesn't know exactly everything."
10 years old
"In the olden days when my dad grew up,
things were sure different."
12 years old
"Oh well! Naturally, Dad doesn't know anything about that. He is too old to remember his childhood."
14 years old
"Don't pay any attention to my dad. He is so old-fashioned!"
21 years old
"Him? My Lord, he's hopelessly out-of-date!"
25 years old
"Dad knows a little bit about it, but then he should because he's been around for so long."
30 years old
"Maybe we should ask dad what he thinks."
35 years old
"I'm not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad."
40 years old
"I wonder how Dad would have handled it.
He was so wise and had a world of experience."
50 years old
"I'd give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him."
~ Ann Landers ~
When I was a boy of 14, My father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have
The old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much The old man had learned in seven years.

As I've Aged
As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend..
I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60 and 70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love .. I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.
They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.
So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore..
I've even earned the right to be wrong.
So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it).
MAY YOUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART!

Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water
A very good article which takes two minutes to read.
Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water
This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is very Harmful to have Cold Drink/Water during a meal. Because the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestines faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
French fries and Burgers are the biggest enemy of heart health. A coke after that gives more power to this demon. Avoid them for your Heart's Health.
Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack...
A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting .
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line .
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive. Helps to keep some Bayer aspirin extra strength quick release crystals next to your bed. Also if you are alone call 911 first and then go unlock your door if you can.
