After 20+ years in the emergency services Public Holidays, to me, are like Unicorns and Mermaids. Something I never see and only hear others talk about.

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE FROM AN OLD COWBOY ...

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.


Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered… not yelled.

Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight.

Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.

Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.

You cannot unsay a cruel word.

Every path has a few puddles.

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.

Don’t judge folks by their relatives.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good, honorable life… Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.

Don ‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.

Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.

If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around..

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

Most times, it just gets down to common sense.

~ Michael Traveler, author of Michael Traveler, author of MIRACLE ROAD

Romantic love is one of the most cherished ideas of Western society — after all, don’t the majority of songs we hear, movies we watch, and books we read tell some kind of love story? Of course, romantic love isn’t the only kind of love there is — there’s also the type of love you have for your friends, love for God or nature, familial love, the love you express to the world at large, and even the love you have for yourself.

There's a fine line between pride and arrogance. We can be proud of many things, from our achievements, our family, heritage and nationality to the achievements of those we care about. Arrogance on the other hand is all about the self--it's utterly personal, born and bred by ego. Pride can be dignified whereas arrogance never is.

[Chimo]

A balding, white haired man from Naples , Florida , walked into a jewelry store this past Friday evening with a beautiful much younger gal at his side.





He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.






The man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.'








At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. 'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000 the jeweler said. The lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it.''








The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, 'By check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds, and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon.'






On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said: 'There's no money in that account.'








'I know,' said the old man,
