I thought this was a neat message:
A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning. "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured, you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."
So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.
The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.
Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient. But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with the farmer around the clock.
To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.
REMEMBER: EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSONS TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.
One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend....
*HUGE HUGS*

I hate it when...
you get a song stuck in your head and don't know all of the words and it just keeps repeating and repeating. *sigh*
For three days now thanks to Robert DeNiro in "Mad Dog and Glory" and Bruce Willis in "The Whole Nine Yards" and a CD that MyLuc played.
Title: Ain't Got Nobody
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
And i don't know why, but i'm startin' to cry.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
And i can't figure out how i'm gonna' get by.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
I don't know why, i been down all season,
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
'cause there ain't no reason for the girl to be leavin' me.
Chorus
I don't know how i'll ever get by without you.
Nobody, no ... nobody.
I'm startin' to realize my fate.
Nobody, no ... nobody.
I'm ready to make up and give another try to live with you.
Nobody, no ... nobody.
I hope for our love and us, it's not too late ... too late.
Nobody, nobody.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
Oh, and i don't really think that she'll ever come back.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
If she don't come back, i'll have a love attack.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
And my tears are like rain, fallin' down on my face.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
'cause i know she's the girl that i'll never replace.
Chorus
Chorus
But that o'course is much better than the other one ... or is it?
Girl From Ipanema
*shudder* I like Mallrats, I normally don't mind elevator music, I like The Carnival Band but this song.....goodness.

You know you have missed an interesting conversation when you overhear:
*I don't know...I don't have a penis*
Overheard between two over 40 ladies waiting in the lobby of my office building....looking at the potted flowers.
Books of the Moment:
Bitten - Kelly Armstrong
Catch of the Day - Marcia Evanick
Gotta have some romance with my adventures don'tcha know. *grin*
