Spirograph!  What fun!

A Spirograph is a geometric drawing toy that produces mathematical roulette curves of the variety technically known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. It was developed by British engineer Denys Fisher and first sold in 1965.
"Spirograph" has also been used to describe a variety of software applications that display similar curves. It has also been applied to the class of curves that can be produced with the drawing equipment, and therefore may be regarded as a synonym of hypotrochoid. The name has been a registered trademark of Hasbro, Inc., since it bought the Denys Fisher company.

Who had one of these growing up?

Say what?

Four high school boys afflicted with spring fever skipped morning classes. After lunch they reported to the teacher that they had a flat tire.

Much to their relief she smiled and said, "Well, you missed a test today so take seats apart from one another and take out a piece of paper."

Still smiling, she waited for them to sit down. Then she said: "First Question: Which tire was flat?"

Remembering What Easter is All About

Since this is Holy Week in the Christian world, it is a good time to remember the best gift of all: that Jesus laid down his life to free us all from sin.  We must not forget.

The Parable of the Empty Suitcase

A man was about to die, and he realized it; he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.

God said: Alright son, its time to go….

Surprised the man responded: Now..? So soon..? I had a lot of plans…

God said, am sorry but its time to go……

Man Asked: What do you have in that suitcase..?

God answered: Your belongings…..

My belongings.....? You mean my things, My clothes, My money..?

God answered: Those things were not yours they belonged to the earth.

Is it my memories....? The man asked.

God answered: Those never belonged to you they belonged to Time.

Is it my talents…..?

God answered: Those were never yours, they belonged to the circumstances.

Is it my friends and family….?

God answered: I'm sorry they were never yours, they belonged to the path.

Is it my wife and son….?

God answered: They were never yours, the belonged to your heart.

Is it my body…..?

God answered: That was never yours, it belonged to the dust.

Is it my soul….?

God answered: No that is mine.

Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from God and opened it, just to find out that the suitcase was empty.
With a tears coming down his cheek the man said: I never had anything?
God answered: That is correct, every moment you lived were only yours.
Life is just a moment.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Life is made up of moments and it is the moments that belongs to you.
For this reason enjoy this time while you have it. Don't let anything that you think you own stop you from doing so.
-Live Now..
-Live your life..
- Don't forget to be happy and remember you are responsible for your own happiness from within and that is the most important thing that matters.
- Material things and everything else that you fought for stay here.
-"YOU CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING"

Teamwork

Even animals understand cooperation. Why don't some people "get it?"

How to Stay Married

This little story has been in circulation for some time, so I thought I would share it here. The moral of the story is very valuable!

It goes something like this:



A man and a woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.

She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents.

"When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."



The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.

"Honey," he said "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?"

"Oh, that?" she said. "That's the money I made from selling the dolls."
