Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone

The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.

Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!

How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

* Craigs list in an amazing venue for selling things. It can also be a nightmare for spam.
* Within 2 hours of a listing last night, we had 6 email inquiries, and 2 people had text my phone.
* The above 2 pictures were taken with an Iphone4 from Decatur this morning about 5 minutes apart. Credit: W-spouse. Thank you dear!
* I went and bought new work clothes yesterday only to find out about 5 minutes later that FRC's (Fire Resistant Clothing) is now mandatory wear in our company. Quick u-turn and return most items that I purchased and then bought FRC clothing. 4 pants and 4 shirts...........$432.59.
* Most of which will be reinbursed.
* I hate to imagine what I'm going to look like if my clothing saves me from a fire, but nothing protects my face or head.
* I can sing along verbatim to all 18 songs on Gary Stewarts Greatest hits album. Wish I had a dollar for everytime I've listened to that cd.
* If you have never exited to the East on Avondale Haslet road off of 287 and saw the Sendera Ranch subdivision area, take a quick spin through there sometime. 4 years ago it was a cow pasture, not there are thousands of homes.
* Did you know that there are 150,000 people each week that quit going to their respective churches?
* W-stepson said first day of school started off good. He was mildly dreading it.
* Did you see on the news that in LA they had opened a new school campus that cost $578 million dollars? The weight room itself was $1 million. I think it said over 4000 classrooms.
* In 1976 I started at a Freshmen campus at a new school in Spring Tx that had over 3000 students.
* W-mom was a substitute teacher there, I didn't get away with anything.
* I have trouble remembering if the "i" or the "e" goes first, and last night on one of my CL postings I misspelled Deuce. I listed it as Duece. Had to go back and edit it.
* While eating in a local restaurant last week, we sat between two tables. On one side was a friend who's brother drowned tragically. On the other side sat the couple that was with him when he drowned. Uncomfortable to say the least.
* Do I need more violence and sex for people to make comments? (grin)
* See ya Around The Corner!

Hey, make comments.... Fun fact. That new school in L.A. is on the location of the hotel I had my Sr. Prom. I also once had a job scrapping floor tiles up off the mens locker room there when I worked for a contractor. They did not close it while we worked, and naked men were walking around, and I was about 16.
