Idlel thoughts

Received in e-mail, some good ones;

 

Protons have mass?  I didn't even know they were Catholic.

 

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

 

What is a "free" gift?  Aren't all gifts free?

 

They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.

 

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to merge his car onto a freeway.

 

Two can live as cheaply as one, for half as long.

 

Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.

 

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

 

One nice thing about egotists:  They don't talk about other people.

 

When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail.

 

A flashlight is a case for holding dead batteries.

 

What was the greatest thing before sliced bread?

 

I used to be indecisive.  Now I'm not sure.

 

Is there another word for synonym?

 

Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all"?

 

If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?

 

Show me a man with both feet firmly on the ground, and I'll show you a man who can't get his pants off.

 

Is it my imagination, or do buffalo wings taste like chicken?

The Judges who said that we don’t
Need to stand up for the  National Anthem
Expect us to stand up when they enter the courtroom.
What if they entered and everyone took a knee?

Family separation not new

Subject:  I'm really sick and tired of people acting like separating parents and children is a new thing that only began under President Trump.

 

Just a few links:

Some things to think about

Bookseller conducting a market survey asked a woman – 
“Which book has helped you most in your life?”
The woman replied, “My husband’s check book!!”

A prospective husband in a book store “Do you have a book called ‘Husband – the Master of the House?’" 
Sales girl: “Sir, fiction and comics are on the 1st floor!”

Someone asked an old man: “Even after 70 years, you still call your wife – darling, honey, luv. 
Love What’s the secret?" 
Old man: “I forgot her name and I’m scared to ask her."

Pharmacist to customer: “Sir, please understand, to buy an anti-depression pill you need a proper prescription ...
Simply showing marriage certificate and wife’s picture is not enough !

There are 3 kinds of men in this world. Some remain single and make wonders happen. Some have girlfriends and see wonders happen. The rest get married and wonder what happened!

Wives are magicians. They can change anything into an argument.

Why do women live a Better, Longer & Peaceful Life, compared to men?
A very INTELLIGENT student replied: 
"Because Women don't have a wife!"

COOL MESSAGE BY A WIFE: Dear Mother-in-law, Don't teach me how to handle my children. 
I am living with one of yours and he needs a lot of improvement!?

When a married man says, I WILL THINK ABOUT IT - 
what he really means is that he doesn't know his wife's opinion yet.

A lady says to her doctor: "My husband has a habit of talking in his sleep! 
What should I give him to cure it?"
The doctor replies: "Give him an opportunity to speak when he's awake.

St. Felix of Cantalice

St. Felix of Cantalice
1513-1387


Ever been around someone who has to have the last word on everything? You say something like "Last Sunday afternoon about 3:00", and they interrupt saying, " believe it was 2:20, not 3:00." You mile politely and say, "Last Sunday about 2:30 I was reading the paper." Again they interrupt, "If memory serves you were reading a magazine, not the newspaper." Pretty soon you're ready to scream, but when you react, the person looks offended and says, "But I was just trying to be helpful."
That kind of help we can all do without.


St. Felix of Cantalice offers us one way to respond to people who must have the last word. When anyone contradicted him in unimportant matters , he politely agreed with what they said and never said another thing.
The next time you encounter a person who must have the last word, you might try St. Felix's technique.People who are constantly contradicting and correcting others are just spoiling for a fight. They want to disturb your peace and get you into an argument over something that doesn't really matter anyway. When you fall into their snare and begin to defend your position, you let them win the round. Rather than give them the satisfaction refuse to play their game. Be utterly polite as you say, "Why I believe you are right." By agreeing with them, you not only puncture their pugnacity, but you maintain your own peace of mind.
