Coffee beans
|
This is an email that my mother received and I thought that I'd share it with all of you.
A carrot, an egg and a cup of coffee.
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first pot she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turns off the burners, fishedthe carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in another bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and into a bowl.
Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, what do you see?"

Drinks can be spiked in two seconds
|
Inspired by Cinders soapbox on this spot. This is to show you why though.
I hail from Ireland- the unofficial drinking capital of the world. Therefore, most of my socialising centres around the pub, and the club.
Its not that I am a massive drinker, you know, the kind that tries to suck up alcohol from the carpet following a spill, but I do drink. And I do go out.Which is why I know first hand the dangers of leaving a drink unattended.
It doesn't matter what you are drinking, be it whiskey or water,NEVER EVER LEAVE IT UNATTENDED.
Its really common to spike a drink with a Mickey Finn in Ireland, especially in clubs, where its easy to lose track of a drink. I don't know about other countries.
Why is it dangerous? You don't remember anything after you take it.
I'll give you an example.
A friend I went to school with left his drink unattended for a minute. When he came back, he finished his drink. Within two hours, his friends had to bring him home.

I wrote this a while ago, and since it seems to be nothing but a series of advice, I figured... what the hell? I think I was listening to LeAnne Womack's "I Hope You Dance" at the time because that's what it sounds like.
When you look up at the sky, don't do it just to see if it's raining
When you find it is raining, don't run indoors and hide
When you get your hopes too high, don't say you're overrated
When you walk down by a river, don't be afraid to get your feet wet
When your fire goes out, don't blame it on the wind
When you watch the sunset, don't think the day is over
When you reach out to help, don't be deterred when you're turned away
When you feel that nothing's right, don't be afraid to make it OK
When you love someone, don't ask them to love you back
When you sing, don't forget to sing it loud
When you smile, don't forget to be proud
When you dance, ignore your two left feet
When you close your eyes, don't forget what you see
