Dearest Much-Loved Gumby,

DO A SEARCH!!!! :eek:

And for all others while Gumby is making friends with Google (as I just did):
___________________________________________
[IF]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!


--Rudyard Kipling

Err, yes , but I have to remember,
What goes around comes around.

OK, I googled and got the following...

If a picture paints a thousand word,
then why can't I paint you, ?



How stupid is that. I ask a question and get another bloody question for an answer

I've always been fond of this one, from an Elizabethan playwright mate of Shakespeare (or was that Spokeshave?):

"Drink today and drown all sorrow, perhaps there shall be no tomorrow"

Thats from a song by bread ( David Gates)
Another line from the same song goes
If a man could be two places then I would be with you
If you are writing home to YSBH and she doesn't know the song then its a great line , when she hears it some time later though duck



The trouble with life is there's no background music.
