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.

Question Of The Day

One more time on the food theme.
What is the most grotesque food that you have ever eaten?

One night while camping when I was in my teens, we caught, killed and skinned an Armadillo and baked it over the fire in its shell. Yep, we ate it also and yeah, it might have tasted like chicken.

Grilled snapping turtle. I may have had a beer or 10 and it may have had the texture of sandy gravel.

My stomach is a trash can. One of those metal types.

Sea Urchin? Why I would eat anything called an "urchin" is beyond me.

Kangaroo. Rattlesnake. More exotic than "grotesque."

Pretty big word, there, Country Boy. And you quit WWF? Sheesh.

We cooked a gar that is considered a trash fish just to see what it tasted like. It wasn't bad.

We cooked and ate black bear meat. The bears were feeding on blueberrys. It was great.

Anything with curry!!! After 4 months in Saudia, you tend to never eat curry again. EVERYTHING, and I mean everything had curry in it. Sandwiches, spaghetti, mashed potatoes, etc. Never again will it touch my lips!!!!!

At a church potluck I was given some sort of casserole and almost threw up the very first taste I took of it. Come to find out,it had calfs brains in it.

When I lived in Panama we had the most amazing lo mein made with Capybara meat. Didn't care for the meat, tasted like really sweet ham, which I don't like. I like salty/smoked ham. But the dish was divine. Mister Wonderful tossed cookies when he found out what he had just eaten, *giggle*.

Mother fed us calf heart as children. I always thought it was an unmentionable...even as a child.

After sharing a glass of wine or two with friends, I've been talked into trying squid pizza and turtle soup. [blech]

As a kid as I was tricked into trying liver and onions. NASTY

Then at a friends BBQ I was told they were cooking up chicken, after my first bite I was told it was rabbit. I spit it out.

But I do love my some menudo and barbacoa.
