After getting out of treatment I spent 6 months working as the attendant at the Pacific Beach alano club in San diego. One of my duties was to sell recovery items from the front counter. One night an extremely drunk woman stepped up to the counter and began admireing the many shiny tokens in the display case. With wonder in her eyes she proclaimed "I would like one of these shiny tokens" as she fumbled for her money I asked "how long would you like your token for?" Her reply..........oh do you rent them?
that really made my night!

Paul Harvey Writes:
We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better.
I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would.
I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated.
I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car.
And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen.
It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep.
I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.
I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room,but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him.
When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her.
I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.
On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen rid ing with someone as uncool as your Mom.
If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one.
I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.
When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head.
I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boy\girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like.
May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.
I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it.. And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he is not your friend.
I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle.
May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays.
I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Hannukah/Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand.
These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life.
Written with a pen. Sealed with a kiss. I'm here for you. And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you.
Send this to all of your friends. We secure our friends, not by accepting favors, but by doing them.

My wife & kids are giving me a new computer for fathers day.
The one I have now works great, but it windows 98 and can't find programs for it. I have a ton of pictures saved. My question is, How do I take everything off my old computer and put it in my new one? (My old one does not have a cd burner.) Can I do a back up on CD's and then install on the new one?

We're going into June in relaxing style girls!!
I hope you all have a good weekend. Weather is perfect, here in Ohio. Went to some yard sales today. Good bargains. :) I got two pair of Express dress pants...tags still on...for 50 cents each!
Hayley had a flat tire last night. ugh. Had to call a tow truck because one of the lug nuts was like welded on. wtf. Had to wait for a flat bed...car is front wheel drive....bad tire in back. It was a good 3 hour ordeal. Thank goodness for AAA. Earlier in the day she backed into a parked car, across the street. Little kids were going by and she was watching for them but not anything else. :shake:
No damage to the other car, but scraped paint on her bumper. No injuries and a reminder lesson on.....BE ALERT AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. Her dad is extremely mad (about the bumper and the tire)....but who was at the scene of the flat tire, at 11 p.m., waiting with her.....ME....he didn't even offer to come to help, when she called. (yet another reminder, for me, as to why he is the exhusband) She has a party to go to tonight, no car and she 'hates her life'....lol Life hasn't even begun for "my little doctor to be."
So, I welcome June....in my jazzy jammies...and hope today is a better day!
