The only comment I have Freak is "I love it!"
Now for more dorkiness...... (passed on to me by another online friend!)

The Fence

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that
every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail
into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the
fence.

Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his
anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually
dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his
temper than to drive those nails into the fence... Finally
the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.

He told his father about it and the father suggested
that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he
was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to
tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father
took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said,
You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the
fence. The fence will never be the same.

When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just
like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it
out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the
wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a
physical one.

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 hearts
to us.

It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much
you care.
