Watch Where You Sit!

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

We Love Our Friends In Tuvalu!

Tuvalu (IPA: [t:u:'valu]), formerly known as the Ellice Islands, is a Polynesian island nation located in the Pacific Ocean midway between Hawaii and Australia. Its nearest neighbors are Kiribati, Samoa, and Fiji. Comprising four reef islands and five true atolls with a gross land area of just 26 square kilometers (10 sq mi) it is the third-least populated independent country in the world, with only Vatican City and Nauru having fewer inhabitants.

We've been getting a lot of hits from Tuvalu!

Old Farmer's Advice

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.  

Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.

 

Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.

 

A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

 

Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.

 

Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.

 

Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.

 

Do not corner somethin' that you know is meaner than you.

 

It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

 

You can't unsay a cruel word.

 

Every path has a few puddles.

 

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

 

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

 

Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.

 

Don't judge folks by their relatives.

 

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

 

Live a good, honorable life.. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

 

Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you none.

 

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.

 

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

 

Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

 

The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'.

 

Always drink upstream from the herd.

 

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

 

Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.

 

If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around..

 

Don't pick a fight with an old man.  If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

Live simply ~ love generously ~ care deeply ~ speak kindly ~ leave the rest to God.
