HOMELESS PERSON
As I walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for an important meeting, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days.Wearing what can only be describes as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition.Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them.Recalling some long ago Sunday School admonition to "care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked," I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person.Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a hidden beauty. A small voice inside my head called out, "Reach out, reach out!"

¯So I did.........
.I get out of the hospital in about 3 months
.It would be nice to get a card or maybe a visitor

Men's restroom design~~

We all know that women have been held back and underpaid in theworkplace.
Edge Designs is an all women run company that designs interior office space.
They had a recent opportunity to do an office project in NYC.
The client allowed the women of this company a free hand in all design aspects.
The client was a company that was also run by all women execs..
.The result............well.......We all know that men never talk ...never look at each other....and never laugh much in the restroom....The men's room is a serious and quiet place...........
.But now .with the addition of one mural on the wall.....
.lets just say the men's restroom is a place of laughter and smiles...
Subject: COACH'S INSTRUCTIONS


A must read for Grandparents.
Those who aren't will love it, too. At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside and asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"
The little boy nodded in the affirmative
."Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?"
The little boy nodded yes.
"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a pecker-head. Do you understand all that?
Again the little boy nodded.
He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach 'a dumb ass' is it?"
Again the little boy nodded.
"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother".
