Hi Scot ,thanks for telling me you liked the funny ones including the one about 
the bottle of wine ,you will be interested to know when I was working on 
finding the funny ones to put into the chat line ,well the one that I sent on 
Sunday afternoon slipped out when I lost concentration of what I was doing ,you 
see I sort out about six or seven at a time and put them into box 7 ,still 
working on ,and try to send them daily but sometimes I either miss or send two 
at once ,anyway it is nice to hear what people think about them ,Cris West 
likes them and has told me to keep sending them if I have them to send ,which I 
have as at the present time I have 22 still left in the folder .

Well my friend thankyou for telling me you liked them ,and also thanks for 
keeping us entertained with your match of wits with Shane Harris ,do you know 
you keep us all smiling with your bickering ha ha .

I hope Dolphin get their fingers out and sort out our MSN as mine has been out 
of order for nearly two weeks ,and on Friday they were blaming Micro-soft or 
someone like that .

Well I had better rap this rabbiting up and go and have a nice cup of coffee 
and a piece of cake ,see you 

Keith

    ---FW Two Glasses of Wine 
   
    Two Glasses of Wine
   
   
    When things in your life seem
    almost too much to handle,
    when 24 hours in a day are not
    enough, remember the
    mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses
    of wine...
   
    A professor stood before his
    philosophy class and had
    some items in front of him. When
    the class began,
    wordlessly, he picked up a very
    large and empty
    mayonnaise jar and proceeded to
    fill it with golf balls.
   
    He then asked the students if the
    jar was full. They
    agreed that it was.
   
    The professor then picked up a box
    of pebbles and poured
    them into the jar. He shook the jar
    lightly. The pebbles rolled into
    the open areas between the golf balls.
    He then asked the students again if
    the jar was full.
   
    They agreed it was.
   
    The professor next picked up a box
    of sand and poured it
    into the jar.
   
    Of course, the sand filled up
    everything else He asked
    once more if the jar was full.
   
    The students responded with a
    unanimous 'yes.'
   
    The professor then produced two
    glasses of wine from
    under the table and poured the
    entire contents into the
    jar, effectively filling the empty
    space between the
    sand. The students laughed.
   
    'Now,' said the professor, as the
    laughter subsided, 'I
    want you to recognize that this jar
    represents your life.
    The golf balls are the important
    things; your family,
    your children, your health, your
    friends, and your
    favorite passions; things that if
    everything else was
    lost and only they remained, your
    life would still be full.
   
    The pebbles are the other things
    that matter like your
    job, your house, and your car. The
    sand is everything
    else; the small stuff.
   
    If you put the sand into the jar first,
    he continued,
    there is no room for the pebbles or
    the golf balls.
   
    The same goes for life: If you
    spend all your time and
    energy on the small Stuff.
   
    Pay attention to the things that are
    critical to your
    happiness.
   
    Play with your children. Take time
    to get medical
    checkups. Take your partner out to
    dinner. Play another
    18 holes. There will always be time
    to clean the house
    and fix the disposal. Take care of
    the golf balls first;
    the Things that really matter. Set
    your priorities. The
    rest is just sand.'
   
    One of the students raised her
    hand and inquired what the
    wine represented.
   
    The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you
    asked. It just goes
    to show you that no matter how full
    your life may seem,
    there's always room for a couple of
    glasses of wine with
    a friend.'
   
    Please share this with friends . I JUST DID!Best Wishes from me Keith
