JACK'S WINNING WORDS 1-/27/06
“It’s good to have money and the things money can buy, but it’s good to check up once in a while and make sure you haven’t lost the things money can’t buy.”
(Lorimer) What are those valuable things money can’t buy? Why not scribble a list now and “Post-It” by your computer. ;-) Jack
No Winning Words NEXT WEEK!


G. S. COMMENTS: money definitely isn't the answer, but rather the legacy we leave for others to follow

N. R. BURR HAS THIS TO SAY: Having lots of money is like carrying a box of snakes...it's just too much trouble keeping control of it.

FROM D. S.: Brings to mind the saying, "how much is enough".

WHAT DO YOU THINK? aside from food and shelter-can $ really buy anything? (From M. L.)

I LIKE THIS FROM D.S.: ­The Blind Man ...One day, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet and a sign that read: "I am blind, please help."A creative publicist was walking by and stopped to observe. He saw that the blind man had only a few coins in his hat. He dropped in more coins and, without asking for permission, took the sign and rewrote it.He returned the sign to the blind man and left. That afternoon the publicist returned to the blind man and noticed that his hat was full of bills and coins.The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was he who had rewritten his sign and wanted to know what he had written on it.The publicist responded: "Nothing that was not true. I just wrote the message a little differently." He smiled and went on his way.The new sign read: "Today is Spring and I cannot see it."
