Life and Times at Social Networking

Social networking is a great thing and I have managed to connect with buddies (drinking or otherwise) through these contraptions(sic). While I agree that "age" mellows… postings like the one below lead me to strongly suspect that it's the significant other who is the real power behind the post. But, some of my "friends" are feeling a tad low and certainly need a leg up in a manner of speaking hence this post serves a dual purpose.

 

This is should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it everyday.

 

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
 

And just when one was beginning to loose hope in the tenacity of human (drinking) kind.. this follows:

'Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway' -take a hard left and proceed quickly to the Kitchen enroute to the Bedroom, TV and PC Room.

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here than a whole truck load when I'm gone. This one is obviously for the Girls - for blokes, replace rose with [insert preferred poison here].
 

Good friends are like stars.......though sometimes you need to be bonked on the head to see them.

 

When you see a glass half empty...ask the bartender for another round!
 

And always remember....when life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila and salt, and call me over!
 

So people, the key to happiness is a) reading points 1 through X in the morning and b) make friends with the bartender in the evening ;-)

Cheers all
