I know those two poems Dottie.

Bren

"and run my stick along public railings" Oh yes! So many things I want to do and will do before long :lol:

Dottie - Thought those activities would be far too tame for you!!! ;)

Bren - My own personal friendship quote, not quite as deep as yours but...
"A friend will bail you out of jail.
A TRUE friend will sit beside you in the cell saying "MY GOD THAT WAS AWESOME"

"You're my bread when I'm hungry
You're my shelter from troubled winds
You're my anchor in life's ocean,
But most of all,
You're my best friend."

(not sure who sings it but is from an old country song.)

Don Williams??....don't know ...know the song though, bren says sitting here singing it to herself :lol: ( good job no one can hear :lol: )

Bren

A good friend is the one you can ring at 4AM

Posted somewhere else by mistake :oops: Yes definitely Don Williams 1970's me singing too.

Doing nothing together is what friends are there for.

Some snippets for you:-

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car
If your're too open minded, your brains will fall out
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupity
If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before
My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance
Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious
It is easier to get forgiveness than permission
For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program
If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip
Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of cheques
A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good
Eat well, stay fit, die any way
Men are from earth, Women are from earth, Deal with it
No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes
A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand
Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places
Opportunities always look bigger going than coming
Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it
There is always one more imbecile than you counted on
Experience is a wonderful thing, it enables you to recognise a mistake when you make it again
By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends
Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator
Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world
It ain't the jeans that make your bum look fat
Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear very bright until they speak
Inside every single old person is a young person wondering what happened?? - So True :!:

From whom is that?

What is this topic about??? Never followed it... No time to read it all.

Hi Bart, just phrases, and if you read them carefully, they make sense, for example:- how many times have you thrown something away only to discover that you need it later.

You need to grow older to mature and experience life.

Do you understand now Bart?

Yes, i understand but i was just curios who wrote that stuff, cause it's great.

Afraid I cann't answer that, I collect odd pieces of information from all over the place, friends, library books etc., some make me laugh, andsome make me cry, and sometimes I write my own.

it's great, i mean it! :o :D

Oh Thank you :oops: Bart - Your're such a nice lad/man/youth well you have to be one of these :lol:

hahahaha, lol. I can also be a pain in the you-know-what. Ask my fellow workers about it.

Pain the A..'s are my speciality :lol:

What do you mean by that?

It doesn't matter what other people think of you, be true to yourself, and no one else, you are who you are, always look deeper than skin to find the true worth of a person - do you understand that :??:

Yes, i understand. but it is difficult. When years go by, the spirit grows more and more.

Freedom of the spirit is the very essence of who we are,and when we meet our maker in the sky, I don't believe for one minute that we are non-existent anymore.I believe that the soul, our very being is abstract, (which means you cann't feel, touch,smell, see, ) that person, so it will never die, and henceforth our life on earth,should be as a free spirit, be who you are Bart, I know I am at 53 and if I alienate some people who don't understand me, more their pity. Um I ranting a little aren't I :oops:

i am who i am, more and more. Cause i never say it, but i have a tough life for the last 2 years and because of that i know my strenghth and weakness. Are you who you are?

Oh yes, most definitly, I have experienced every emotion there is, and still managed to stay a very spiritual person, I never ever judge anyone who doesn't believe in my ideals, we are all individuals, different in character, likes, dislikes etc., I am a happy, go lucky person, love to have conversations like this, and always have believed that anyone in this life who carries out evil deeds, will have them come back to haunt them, and that the good people amongst us will live on for ever, in peoples minds and hearts, purely because they made such a impression whilst here in the living form.

Somehow i knew that from the very first post you post here. That was when i say: don't you ever lose it (you know your humor).

Oh thank you Bart, from one free spirit to another :D Its certainly been a very long time since we chatted like this :wink:
