Happy Online Friendship
Here's a flower from me to you,
Just in case your feeling blue.
Know that someone is thinking
of you dearly,
Daily, monthly, even yearly.
So smile for me.
And let the sunshine
through,
For there's someone,
Somewhere,
Watching over you.

GOOD BOYFRIENDS: MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS In Order to be a good boyfriend: 

With another school year coming to an end, just take this time to thank and remember all your friends. Friends...those people you know, like, and trust. Those people who see and know your moods. Those people who know all the embarassing things you did when you were younger. Those people who you told about your crushes, even though now you wonder, "What the hell was I thinking?" Those people who did you favors. Those people you have fun with.Those people who let you copy their homework, who shared their snack with you, who give you a friendly "sup?" or wave when they see you.

Send this out to those friends you just met this year through school, through work, through friends, or just while hanging out at the mall, beach or club. And no matter if you've grown into best friends or have just become aquaintances, let them know that you're glad to have met them. That you hope to continue being friends for years to come.

Send this out to those friends you've grown out of touch with. The ones you were friends with in elementary or intermediate and suddenly, when you got into high school you hardly talked to anymore. Or the ones that moved out of town or changed schools and for some reason you just haven't had time to write or call. Send this to them just to say hi and to let them know that you haven't forgotten them. That you appreciate their friendship and that you cherish all the memories you shared with them. And to remind them that although people change and lives get rearranged, friends are friends forever.

And even if you no longer have anything in common, you do share the same memories. Send this out to those friends you don't know too well. The ones you don't really talk on the phone or go out with, but who you do exchange a friendly hi or a smile with when you do see each other. The ones you have a conversation with only when you run into them. Send this to them just to let them know that although you're not close, you do care about them and you wish them nothing but the best.

Send this out to those friends you consider your closest. The best friend you've had since 1st grade. The ones you go out with every weekend. The ones who've grown into the brothers or sisters you've never had. The ones who listen to you bitch about school, your boyfriend/girlfriend, your family, or anything else no matter how stupid or boring it is. The ones who know your secrets and will go out of their way to be there for you. Who you're comfortable with telling all your secrets too. Send this to them to just to let them know that you appreciate them being there for you and that you'll always be there for them.

Send this out to those friends who fall somewhere in between one of the above categories. To those friends you've grown into enemies with. Send this to them just to let them know that no matter what happened between the two of you, that you hope you can be forgiven or that they have been forgiven. To those people you may have just met once but had a cool time with. To those people you may have gotten off to a rocky start with but who you would still like to get to know.

There are many types of friends. They come in all different shapes and sizes. Some are closer than others. But no matter what, friends are friends forever. Sometimes we take for granted our friends.Sometimes we don't let them know that we care or that we appreciate them. Sometimes we get so busy or so involved with other things that we begin to grow out of touch with our friends. Take this time to remember how lucky you are to have such great friends and to thank all those friends you've made over the years. Thank them and let them know that you care. Thank you to all of you...my friends. Each of you have added something to my life and you will never be forgotten. From those who I have in class, to those who give me a wave when I see you. From those who I've known since elementary to those I've just recently met, thank you for everything.

THE 20 BEST(?) PICK-UP LINES EVER

BAD PICK UP LINES

THE WORLD'S BEST PICKUP LINES (AND MUCH, MUCH, MORE!)

Ten commandments of hooking up:

I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.

It's not true that married men live longer than single men. It only seems longer.

Losing a wife can be hard. In my case, it was damned near impossible.

A man complaining to a friend: "I had it all - money, a beautiful house, a big car, the love of a beautiful woman ... then ... pow! ... it was all gone!" "What happened?" asked the friend. "Ahhhh ... my wife found out ..."

Wife: Let's go out and have some fun tonight.  Husband: Okay, but if you get home before I do, leave the hallway light on.

How many men does it take to open a beer?  None. It should be opened by the time she brings it to the couch.

A man rushes into his house and yells to his wife, "Martha, pack up your things! I just won the California lottery!" Martha responds excitedly, "Shall I pack for warm weather or cold?!" The man responds, "I don't care ... just so long as you're out of the house by noon!"

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street bald and still think they are beautiful. I haven't spoken to my wife for 18 months -- I don't like to interrupther.

A man without a woman is like a fish without a bicycle.  If your wife and a lawyer were drowning and you had to choose, would you go to lunch or to a movie?

A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he's finished.

John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II. During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduledtheir first meeting - 7:00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New York. "You'll recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen. I'll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened:

A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like pringtime come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. "Going my way, sailor?" she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat.. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.

And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. "I'm Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?" The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"

It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive. "Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, "And I will tell you who you are."

THIS IS WHAT A REAL GUY WOULD DO :

Ways to reject pick-up lines

• Man: "So, wanna go back to my place?"
• Woman: "Well, I don't know. Will two people fit under a rock?"

• Man: "I'd really like to get into your pants."
• Woman: "No thanks. There's already one asshole in there."

• The most memorable rebuttal to a turn down (used by the guy who used to live across the hall from me in residence when he asked a girl to dance and she refused:
• Man: "Want to Dance?"
• Woman: "No, thank you."
• Man: "Don't thank me, thank God somebody asked you."

• Man: "I'd like to call you. What's your number?"
• Woman: "It's in the phone book."
• Man: "But I don't know your name."
• Woman: "That's in the phone book too."

• Man: "So what do you do for a living?"
• Woman: "Female impersonator."

• And here's one including the correct snappy return
• Man: "How do you like your eggs in the morning?"
• Woman: "Unfertilized, screw off!"

• A girlfriend of mine once had a graying man in his 60'sapproach her in a club while she was in college with the line, "Where have you been all my life?" She took one glance at him and said, "For the first half of it, I probably wasn't born yet." A friend of mine came up with a very quick response over vacation.  We were walking down the street and I glanced at a girl who had just walked by. She turned around and said to me, "What are you looking at?" My friend, walking next to me came to the rescue, "He thought you were good looking, but he was mistaken."  While at college, a few friends were discussing how their "passes" had been rejected by the intended female receiver. One of the ladies explained how she handled it once... When the guy, obviously getting irritated, blurted out something like, "Hey, come on, we're both here at this bar for the same reason!" She responded, "Yea! Let's pick up some chicks!" He immediately blanched, and decided that maybe he would look someplace else.

• "Sorry, I don't date outside my species."

@}--}--- Answer honestly.---{--{@

1) You are walking to your boy/girl--friend's house. There are two roads to get there. One is a straight path which takes you there quickly, but is very plain & boring. The other is curvy & full of wonderful sights on the way, but takes quite a while to reach your love's house.

-*-*-*-* WHICH PATH DO U CHOOSE? Short or Long? -*-*-*-*-

2). On the way, you see two rose bushes. One is full of white roses, the other is full of red roses. You decide to pick twenty roses for your boy/girl--friend.(You could pick all of the same color or half & half or whatever combination that suits your taste.)

*-*-*-*- WHAT COLOR COMBO DO YOU CHOOSE?-*-*-*-*

3) You finally get to your boy/girl--friend's house. You ring the bell & a family member answers the door. You can ask the family member to please get your love , or you may get him/her yourself.

*-*-*-*- WHAT DO U DO? Ask or Get yourself? -*-*-*-*

4). Now, You go up to your boy/girl--friend's room. No one is there. You could leave the roses by the windowsill or on the bed.

*-*-*-*- WHERE DO U PUT THE ROSES? Window or Bed? -*-*-*-*

5) Later it's time for bed. You & your love go to sleep in separate rooms. You wake up in the morning & go to your boy/girl--friend's room to check up on him/her. You enter the room:

*-*-*-*- IS HE/SHE AWAKE OR SLEEPING? (Pick 1) -*-*-*-*

6) It's time to go home now & you start to head back. You can take either road home now. The plain & boring one that gets you home faster or the curvy & sight-filled road that you can just take your time with.

*-*-*-*- WHICH ROAD DO U CHOOSE? Short or Long? -*-*-*-*

AnSwErS SeCOnD

@}--}--- Now check your answers. ---{--{@

1. The road represents your attitude towards falling in love. If you chose the short one, you fall in love quickly & easily. If you chose the long one, you take your time & do not fall in love that easily.

2. The number of red roses represent how much you expect to give in a relationship. The number of white roses represents how much you expect in a relationship. So, if a person chose all red with one white rose, he/she gives 90% in the relationship, but expects to receive only 10% back.

3. This question shows your attitude in handling relationship problems. If you asked the family member to get your love, then you are the type who wants to avoid problems. If you went to get your love yourself, then you are pretty direct & solve the problem right away.

4. The placement of the roses indicate how often you would like to see your boy/girl--friend. Putting the roses on the bed means, you want to see them alot. If you placed the roses by the window this means you don't mind seeing each other once in a while.

5. Finding your boy/girl--friend asleep: You accept your love the way they are. Finding them awake means you expect them to change for you.

6. The short & long roads now represent how long you could stay in love.If you chose the short one, you fall out of love easily. If you chose the long one, you tend to stay in love for a long, long time.

<3 Titantic Love <3

Two lovers joined at the heart,

Different by class which was far apart.

One forbiddin to see the other,

But love kept them together.

On a great boat is where they met.

On this great boat is where one met death.

Love's light guided their way,

To each others heart on a tragic day.

As night approached,

Their love grew,

And as night approached,

Danger brewed.

As danger approached,

Their lips neared.

Soon after they kissed,

They felt fear.

The boat was sinking with their dreams.

Their hopes and wishes broke at their seams.

No land in sight.

They had no might.

How would their love survive?

"A Friend"

This one is pretty powerful.

Happy Friendship Week!

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!!!!

Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. =3D

There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today.

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade. To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a pre-mature baby. To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train. To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident. To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics. Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time. And remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history Tomorrow is a mystery Today is a gift That's why it's called the present!!

It's National Friendship Week
