Irish Luck

This is a pretty interesting story, if its true...actually it's a chain letter I received 3 years ago, just want to share it with you before I delete it...So just read it and have fun!!!

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day,
while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help
coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools
and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a
terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved
the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse
surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and
introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer
replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to
the door of the family hovel.

"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.
"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of
education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no
doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did. Farmer
Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St.
Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known
throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of
Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog
was stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name?
Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

It's National Friendship Week. Send this to everyone you consider A
FRIEND. Pass this on, and brighten someone's day.

AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH: You had better send this back!! Good Luck!

I hope it works...

May there always be work for your hands to do;

May your purse always hold a coin or two;

May the sun always shine on your windowpane;

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;

May the hand of a friend always be near you;

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Commandments of Marriage

Is this really true or just a joke!!! Keep reading and wish you
a nice weekend!!

Commandment 1. Marriages are made in heaven.
But so again, are thunder and lightning.

Commandment 2. If you want your wife to listen
and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your
sleep.

Commandment 3. Marriage is grand -- and divorce
is at least 100 grand!

Commandment 4. Married life is very frustrating. In
the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the
woman listens. In the second year, the woman
speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both
speak and the neighbours listen.

Commandment 5. When a man opens the door of
his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the
car is new or the wife is.

Commandment 6. Marriage is when a man and
woman become as one; The trouble starts when they try to decide
which one.

Commandment 7. Before marriage, a man will lie
awake all night thinking about something you say. After
marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish.

Commandment 8. Every man wants a wife who is
beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good
cook. But the law allows only one wife.

Commandment 9. Marriage and love are purely
matter of chemistry. That is why wife treats husband like
toxic waste.

Commandment 10. A man is incomplete until he is
married. After that, he is finished..

Bonus commandment story.

A long married couple came upon a wishing well.
The wife leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny.
The husband decided to make a wish too. But he
leaned over too much, fell into the well, and drowned. The
wife was stunned for a moment but then smiled, "It
really works!"

A Chinese Blessing!!

A water bearer in China had two large pots, each
hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his
neck.

One pot had a crack in it, while the other pot was
perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.


At the end of the long walk from the stream to the
house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the
bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of
water to his house.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its
accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But
the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own
imperfection, and miserable that it was able to
accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter
failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the
stream...

"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side
causes water to leak out all the way back to your
house."

The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that
there were flowers only on your side of the path, but

not on the other pot's side?

That's because I have always known about your flaw,
and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path.
Every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For
two years I have been able to pick these beautiful
flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just
the way you are, there would not be this beauty to
grace the house."

Moral:
Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all
cracked pots.
But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that
make our lives together so very interesting and
rewarding. You've just got to take each person
for what they are, and look for the good in them.

Perfect Timing for my Friend Who's Looking for Modern Furnitures

This is just a perfect timing. I got a friend who will be going back to the States after their work contact in Germany. They had been looking for furnitures here to be brought to the US but I guess it is very impossible. Besides that the prices here in Europe for furnitures are really very high, in addition to shipping will really be more expensive.

Besides that the current exchange rate of Dollar versus Euro is also very high. Her husband earns dollar (working anyway in one of the US bases here) here in Germany, so I guess they won't buy for such expensive furnitures here.

The last time I spoke to my friend, she mentioned about buying especially for a modern bedroom for them and another one for their only child. I believed, she will be happy if I will tell her about modernline Furniture. I already knew my friend's taste like being so always modern and stylish. Guess below is the perfect one..


Anyway, it's not really a problem with choosing a modern bedroom at Modernlinefurniture.com because they always have cheaper, qualitative, and quantitative items to choose from. They also have unique and exclusive models, colors and styles.

She will probably be surprised once I tell her about modernline Furniture. Not only that, they deliver anywhere in the US with a flat-fee shipping cost regardless of any order size. She can also have a variety of choices with a very reasonable and competitive price in looking for her modern bedroom.

A Valentine Quote

Love has no desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires;
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
