A Christmas Fancy « Result #1 on Mar 11, 2009, 9:00am »
Early on Christmas Day, Love, as awake I lay, And heard the Christmas bells ring sweet and clearly, My heart stole through the gloom Into your silent room, And whispered to your heart, `I love you dearly.' There, in the dark profound, Your heart was sleeping sound, And dreaming some fair dream of summer weather. At my heart's word it woke, And, ere the morning broke, They sang a Christmas carol both together. Glory to God on high! Stars of the morning sky, Sing as ye sang upon the first creation, When all the Sons of God Shouted for joy abroad, And earth was laid upon a sure foundation. Glory to God again! Peace and goodwill to men, And kindly feeling all the wide world over, Where friends with joy and mirth Meet round the Christmas hearth, Or dreams of home the solitary rover. Glory to God! True hearts, Lo, now the dark departs, And morning on the snow-clad hills grows grey. Oh, may love's dawning light Kindled from loveless night, Shine more and more unto the perfect day! by Robert Fuller Murray
Hypnotist Error « Result #2 on Mar 11, 2009, 8:57am »
It was opening night at the Orpheum and the Amazing Eileen was topping the bill. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do her stuff.
As the Amazing Eileen took to the stage, she announced, "Unlike most stage hypnotists who invite two or three people up onto the stage to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience."
The excitement was almost electric as the Amazing Eileen withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from her coat.
"I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. Its been in my family for six generations."
She began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch.... "
The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming off its polished surface.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until suddenly it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.

Moths are very ugly creatures. At least that is what I always thought until a reliable source told me otherwise. When I was about five or six years old, my brother Joseph and I stayed overnight at our Aunt Linda¡¯s house,wow power leveling our favorite relative. She spoke to us like adults, and she always had the best stories.
Joseph was only four years old, and still afraid of the dark, so Aunt Linda left the door open and the hall light on when she tucked us in to bed. Joe couldn¡¯t sleep, so he just lay there staring at the ceiling. Just as I dozed off to sleep, he woke me up and asked, ¡°Jennie, what are those ugly things near the light?¡±(I had always liked that he asked me questions because wow gold I was older and supposed to know the answers. I didn¡¯t always know the answers, of course, but I could always pretend I did.) He was pointing to the moths fluttering around the hall light. ¡°They¡¯re just moths, go to sleep,¡± I told him.
He wasn¡¯t content with that answer,wow power leveling or the moths near his night light, so the next time my Aunt walked by the door he asked her to make the ugly moths go away. When she asked why, he said simply, ¡°Because they¡¯re ugly and scary, and I don¡¯t like them! ¡±She just laughed, rubbed his head, and said, ¡°Joe just because something is ugly outside doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s not beautiful inside. Do you know why moths are brown?¡± Joe just shook his head.
¡°Moths are the most beautiful animals in the animal kingdom. At one time they were more colorful than the butterflies. They have always been helpful, kind, and generous creatures. One day the angels up in heaven were crying. They were sad because it was cloudy and they couldn¡¯t look down upon the people on earth. Their tears fell down to the earth as rain. The sweet little moths hated to see everyone so sad. They decided to make a rainbow.wow power leveling The moths figured that if they asked their cousins, the butterflies, to help, they could all give up just a little bit of their colors and they could make a beautiful rainbow.
One of the littlest moths flew to ask the queen of the butterflies for help. The butterflies were too vain and selfish to give up any of their colors for neither the people nor the angels. So, the moths decided to try to make the rainbow themselves. They beat their wings very hard and the powder on them formed little clouds that the winds smoothed over like glass. Unfortunately, the rainbow wasn¡¯t big enough so the moths kept giving a little more and a little more until the rainbow stretched all the way across the sky. They had given away all their color except brown, which didn¡¯t fit into their beautiful rainbow.
Now the once colorful moths were plain and brown. The angels up in heaven saw the rainbow, and became joyous.wow gold They smiled and the warmth of their smiles shown down on the earth as sunshine. The
warm sunshine made the people on earth happy and they smiled, too. Now every time it rains the baby moths, who still have their colors, spread them across the sky to make more rainbows.¡±
My brother sank off to sleep with that story and hasn¡¯t feared moths since. The story my aunt told us had been gathering dust in the back corners of my brain for years,wow gold but recently came back to me.
I have a friend named Abigail who always wears gray clothes. She is also one of the most kind and generous people I¡¯ve ever met. When people ask her why she doesn¡¯t wear more colors she just smiles, that smile, and says, ¡°Gray is my color.¡± She knows herself and she doesn¡¯t compromise that to appease other people. Some may see her as plain like a moth, but I know that underneath the gray, Abigail is every color of the rainbow.

UPDATE FROM OWNER:
Tyson has been found,he was found all in the way in bury which is 1 hour and half from where i live,we dont know how he got that far.He was found a man called jamie,he had been to work and seen a dog sat on his door step shiving as he went up to tyson he was growling but just so much in pain he let him pick him up and take him inside.Tyson still had his coller on but the tag wasnt on anymore,so he decieded to take him to the vets as he wasnt walking proper.The vet scaned him and my details came up they rang us straight away and we flew down as quickly as we could i rushed into the vets and said 'wheres my dog tyson'.He was being treated by the vet he has a front right broken leg which the vet thinks he was knocked over by car and he had limped off.As soon as the vet opened the door after hearing people tyson took one look at me and flew off the table straight towards me.I have never seen him so happy.We have just got home and its now 11:48pm hes fast asleep on my bed with kia.Kia went mental when he came home,i think shes knows hes in pain and didnt start pawing at his leg which is a good thing.Hes on anitboatics he can go for a walk but only a short one for like 10mins and thats it.Hes a bit off his food but drinking well...We are still curouise how he got that far.Tyson is insured which has covered his vet bills.But the builders had a confession they said they left the door open to have a cig and they went to the van to get some paint out and he must off flew out.They have given me 300 pounds for all the advertising and vet bills etc.Jamie who found him wont take the reward money he said the main the thing is the dog is back with its owners.Jamie back to our home with us and as he was leaving tyson struggled to get to him so he walked over to tyson and he sorted looked at him to say 'thanks for helping and getting me home'.I have so much respect for him.

Re: STOLEN BOXER PUP « Result #65 on Aug 12, 2007, 7:31pm »
no hun dont be sorry, i wasnt meanin it at you personally rather the fact we prob all think they were in the pub, things can get out of hand without the full facts & i know, so lets just keep open mind is all im saying hun , i hope this pup is safely returned , this is the prob not all vets scan pups , this is why on another thread here i was asking more needs to be done with regards to chipping , coz nobody will know the pup is stolen unless the vet scans & they dont always do it do they. Somebody may have bought this pup by now & be none the wiser its stolen they may end up broken hearted & out of pocket if this dog is ever returned , such a shame
