A lady in Harrisburg, Oregon has a cat who has a special friend that visits every morning.

Are you tired of those sissy ‘friendship’ poems that always sound good,

but never actually come close to reality?

Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.

You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this card-

Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

1. When you are sad –I will jump on the person who made you sad like a spider monkey jacked up on Mountain Dew!

2. When you are blue — I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile — I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

4. When you’re scared — we will high tail it out of here.

5. When you are worried — I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining, ya big baby!!!!

6. When you are confused — I will use little words.

7. When you are sick –Stay away from me until you are well again. I don’t want whatever you have.

8. When you fall — I’ll pick you up and dust you off–

after I laugh my butt off!!

9. This is my oath…I pledge it to the end. ‘
Why?’ you may ask — because you are my FRIEND!

Send this to 10 of your closest friends,

Then get depressed because you can only think of 4.

Hey There ~

Four things you can’t recover:

The stone……..after the throw.

The word……..after it’s said.

The occasion……..after it’s missed.

The time……….after it’s gone.

Knock, Knock I knocked at heaven’s door this morning. God asked
me…’My child, what can I do for you?’ And I said, ‘Father, please
protect and bless the person reading this message.’ God smiled and
answered…’Request granted’.

~Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle ~

IN honor of women’s history month and in memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer, pass this on to five women that you want watched over. If you don’t know five women to pass this on to, one will do just fine.

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER – by Erma Bombeck
(written after she found out she was dying from cancer).

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren’t there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the ‘good’ living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed..

I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn’t show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I’d have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, ‘Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.’ There would have been more ‘I love you’s’…more ‘I’m sorry’s.’

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute…look at it and really see it…live it and never give it back. STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!

Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more, or who’s doing what. Instead, let’s cherish the relationships we have with those who do

love us!!

A week of love

In 2009 the government will start deporting all the mentally ill people.

I started crying when I thought of you.

Run my little crazy friend, run!

Well, what can I say ??

Someone sent it to me,

and darn it,

I’m NOT going alone !!

Thanks. No.

Hi. The person who sent you this link is a friend who likes you a lot but who wants you to respect their email address, their privacy, and their time.

Chances are, this person asked you to visit this page because you did one of these things:

• Forwarded a funny story, a virus warning, or a photo that you enjoyed
• Sent email to lots of people using the “To:” line (instead of the “BCC:” line), thereby exposing your friend’s email address to strangers
• CC’d your friend unnecessarily on something you had sent primarily to someone else

In any case, you might want to go back and have another look at the email they’re replying to. They asked you to visit here because, while they love getting one-on-one, personal messages from you, they really don’t want to receive more messages like the one you just sent. Cool?

You’re not a bad person, and no one hates you, but it would be valuable to learn the very personal preferences of your friends, family members, and co-workers before including them in unrequested email or choosing to expose their private address to people they don’t know.

Thanks for understanding, and if this same thing ever happens to you, feel free to reply to an email you don’t want by pasting this in:

Hi there, beloved friend of this email recipient:

Please visit http://thanksno.com/

Because this person likes getting personal messages from you, but doesn’t want any more email like this, please.

Love, 
ThanksNo.com
