What you think does matter

Show and tell One of the favorite things my son likes to do in school is - participate in "show and tell". Sometimes I think he spends the whole week thinking about what he will bring to school on friday for show and tell. One night he was searching around and under the couch [ don't ask cuase I don't know ] and he told me he found the perfect show and tell item.... what you ask? Well, a green slimy frog. That's right a frog. Some how a frog sneaked into my house and under my couch and my curiouse son found him [ bad for the frog ]. The funny thing about it was what I did not get to catch on video - it was halariouse watching him trying to pick the frog up and hold it while the slimmy little thing kept jumping up into the air. I don't know why, but first it was a mouse running around my house, I have this small dog visiting and now, I have a frog.... is this some kind of Biblical plegue????

Life can be hard, but for those who really work at it - money and fame can be accomplished. ofcourse with a crazy world like ours, it doesn't take much to get 15 minutes worth of fame. I myself have seen the Indian gentlemen who suffers crucial pain in his arm because his fame is growing his nails to an extremely long length [ creepy]. I've seen the videos of the man that can swallow cue balls and lock and unlock pad locks inside his stomach [ damn, I find it hard just swallowing a pill......] But this man has made his fame and income on the strength of one finger. he can crack open a coconut with his index finger. WOW!

It's easy to forget that everyone that says they want to help - is honestly trying to help. lets face it, when your drowning it's hard for you to stop and consider - who is giving you a hand. When your drowning, all your looking for is any hand that appears to be outstretched enough to help. That is when you usually get burned, sometimes burned badly. I’m still hocked up on medication and I know I shouldn’t sign over the deed to my house to anyone. It happens to everyone. Crooks are not as stupid as portrayed in movies. They come in all shapes and forms. they are every smart enough to build professional appearances and even legal entities. It's stories like the one above - that proves no matter how good a helping hand may be - ask questions, do background checks, don't take a friends word over your gut feeling. And as always - if it sounds to good to be true - it's not good for you. Lets face it your drowning, if your going to go down - go with dignity.

I personally don’t believe in magic, I hold strong to the idea that it’s a trade secret full of highly secret techniques. But you have to admit that “The Floating Dutchman” has pulled of a great magic trick. Just watch the video - it’s surprising.
