Luck O The Irish to Ya!

Even though i'm not Irish.... well, i may have a wee bit of irish blood in me, i just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very Happy St. Patrick's Day. Peace, be well, good luck and all that stuff!

A few Irish sayings to share with you:

May you always have Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain, Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you, Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!

May you be in Heaven a half hour
before the Devil knows you're dead!

When Irish eyes are smiling, Tis like a morn in spring.
With a lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy All the world is bright and gay
When Irish eyes are smiling Sure, they steal your heart away.

May your blessings outnumber The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you Wherever you go.

There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head.

If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
How in the hell can he drink when he's dead?

May the best day of your past
Be the worst day of your future.

I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before One leaf is sunshine,
the second is rain, Third is the roses that grow in the lane.
No need explaining the one remaining Is somebody I adore.
I'm looking over a four leaf clover That I overlooked before.

May you live to be a hundred years
With one extra year to repent.

May those who love us, love us And those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts And if he can't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles So we will know them by their limping!

As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!

May luck be our companion
May friends stand by our side
May history remind us all Of Ireland's faith and pride.
May God bless us with happiness
May love and faith abide.

Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter
Lullabies, dreams, and love ever after.
Poems and songs with pipes and drums
A thousand welcomes when anyone comes.
That's the Irish for you!

There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle,
'Twas St. Patrick himself, sure, that sets it;
And the sun of his labor with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.
It grows through the bog, through the brake,
through the mireland, And they call it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland.

May your neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.

May you have: A world of wishes at your command
God and his angels close at hand
Friends and family their love impart,
And Irish blessings in you heart.

May God grant you many years to live,
For sure he must be knowing
The earth has angels all too few
And Heaven is overflowing.

These things I warmly wish to you
-Someone to love
Some work to do
A bit o' sun A bit o' cheer
And a guardian angel always near.

Here's to a long life and a merry one
A quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
A cold beer and another one!

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.

O Ireland isn't it grand
you look like a bride in her rich adornin?
And with all the pent up love of my heart
I bid you the top o' the mornin!

Cost Of A Child

I came across this, and found it too sweet not to share. :o)

Subject: Cost of a Child
Something absolutely positive for a change. I have repeatedly seen the breakdown of the cost of raising a child, but this is the first time I have seen the rewards listed this way and it's nice. The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle income family. Talk about sticker shock! That DOESN'T even touch college tuition. But $160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into: $8,896.66 a year, $741.38 a month, or $171.08 a week. That's a mere $24.24 a day - just over a dollar an hour.

Still, you might think the best financial advice is "don't have children if you want to be rich." Actually, it is just the opposite. What do you get for your $160,140?

~Naming rights--- First, middle, and last!
~Glimpses of God every day.
~Giggles under the covers every night.
~More love than your heart can hold.
~Butterfly kisses and Velcro (or barnacle) hugs.
~Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
~A hand to hold, usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
~A partner for blowing bubbles and flying kites.
~Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.
~ For $160,140, you never have to grow up.
~ You get to: finger-paint, carve pumpkins, play hide-and-seek, catch lightning bugs and never stop believing in Santa Claus.
~You have an excuse to: keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh, watching Saturday morning cartoons, going to Disney movies, and wishing on a star.
~You get to: frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets, collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.

For $160,140, there is no greater bang for your buck.

~You get to be a hero just for: retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof, taking the training wheels off a bike, removing a splinter, filling a wading pool, coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.
~You get a front row seat to history to witness the: first step, first word, first bra, first date, and first time behind the wheel.
~ You get to be immortal.
~You get another branch added to your family tree and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren and great grandchildren.
~ You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.
~In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God.
~You have all the power to: heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, So . . one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost. That is quite a deal for the price!!!!!!!

Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren.

Have a great week and until next time Peace and Be Well,

Free To A Good Home

URGENT: a home is needed for this dog

My neighbor has a puppy he's giving away (FREE!). It's a Dachshund, it's house broken, and it's great with kids. He's giving it away because his wife says the dog "stares" at her when she is undressing, and that gives her the 'Heebie Jeebies'. I think she is just weird ! If you're interested, or know someone who is, let me know. Here's a picture of the dog. See picture below....
