At approximately 0900 Eastern US time today, I will turn 40 years old. As befits my responsibility as one of the elder members of Pimprig, I will take this opportunity to give our younger members a birthday gift: a soupcon of the wisdom I have acquired lo these many years.

1.] You CAN teach an old dog new tricks; when the dog is old enough "play dead forever" is one of the easiest.

2.] The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence if you use Krylon "Grass Green" in the rattle can on your side of the fence first.

3.] "Never a lender nor a borrower be"??? Obviously Shakespeare didn't know about the interest rates credit card companies would be allowed to charge.

4.] The pen is still mightyer than the sword because you can't get a sword thru airport security.

5.] Nice guys don't finish last 'cause nice guys often don't start.

6.] The love of money is not the root of all evil. My kid is evil for free.

7.] A sucker was born every minute in P.T. Barnum's time. Due to medical advances, a sucker is now born every 4.6 seconds.

8.] Winners do quit - when they win.

9.] The early bird does not get the worm. Worms sleep late. The early bird started this rumor because she hated being alone first thing in the morning.

10.] Crime pays. But generally you have to give it a fancy name first like "executive compensation".

happy birthday! I look forward to seeing you in the nursing home I'm sorry to say though, that most nursing homes do not have quality internet services.
... and none of this "playing dead forever" on my shift please

Quiters never win and winners never quit, but if you never win and never quit you are an idiot.

Happy birthday

HAPPY B-DAY, thanks for the advice. I didnt get you anything. Let me think of something to give you.

How about i get you a invisable friend from ebay?
