Good Morning Everyone,

OK, here is a perfect story. Last night was just plain fun. Went to bed laughing rather than sober (somber), and I know a few others did as well. When they laid there heads down, their minds drifted back to some silly notes and they had one last chuckle before dropping off to sleep. We can all look at things in different ways, please choose one that makes you smile once in awhile, and not one that drives you into dispair, life will do enough of that for you, without your help!!!

Todays story:

"Things Aren't Always What They Seem"

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night
in the home of a wealthy family. The family was
rude and refused to let the angels stay in the
mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were
given a space in the cold basement. As they
made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel
saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the
younger angel asked why, the older angel replied...
"Things aren't always what they seem."

The next night the pair came to rest at the house
of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his
wife. After sharing what little food they had the
couple let the angels sleep in their bed where
they could have a good night's rest.

When the sun came up the next morning the
angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.
Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole
income, lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was infuriated and asked the
older angel, "How could you have let this happen!?
The first man had everything, yet you helped him,"
she accused.

"The second family had little but was willing to
share everything, and you let their cow die."

"Things aren't always what they seem," the older
angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement
of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in
that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so
obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his
good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find
it. Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed,
the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the
cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem."

the name of this thread will change from Family Chit Chat Only to DGIV-A-HOLICS...Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll

What have I been missing since I don't read SI much anymore?!?

Hey, it's summer time -- I spend enough time on computers at work, and prefer to spend my free time doing summer activities like camping, going to outdoor concerts (Chris Isaak was great last night down in Temecula at the Pechanga Casino), and partying (I'm going to Laughlin with my girlfriend on July 24 for a lost weekend of gambling, jet skiing, drinking, and some "intimate" activities.)
