The Emperor instructed the gardener to set up the new court’s garden. “I want you to plant five trees growing the Crataan fruit,” the Emperor said, “Because we asked people what fruit they like best, and most named the Crataan fruit!”
The gardener replied, “Emperor, that is excellent thinking! But let me make some suggestions: First, how about we make one of the five trees bear the Muran fruit. Only one out of ten citizens loves it, but those peculiar citizens tend to love multiple times as much!”
“Second,” the gardener continued, “How about we make one of the five trees bear the Dratean fruit. No one loves it, but that’s because no one knows it yet!”
“Third,” the gardener said, “How about we leave one spot in the garden empty. Who knows what new type of tree we’ll discover that we can put there in the future!”
“Fourth,” the gardener spoke, the Emperor still seated on his throne, though growingly unrestful, “How about we plant one tree with no fruits at all. Its sparseness will serve as contrast to remind us how grateful we should be for all the other trees.”
“Fifth,” the gardener said, “Let us plant one tree which we’ll pick randomly. We thereby give fate a chance to escape the restrictions of human thinking, and excel even this land’s wisest man – you, my Emperor!”

EVERYBODY NEEDS A HUG

No matter who you are, you need one
no matter what you do, you want one
No matter if you are uptight or smug
everybody needs a hug
Even if you are up or even if you’re down
even if you’re flat on the ground
Even if you feel like you’ve got some kind of bug
everybody needs a hug
Maybe you’re a millionaire
or maybe you have no underwear
Maybe your life sucks and your beer is full of suds
maybe you just need some hugs
When you can’t seem to get around
when you have to look up to see down
When all you have to eat is one small spud
sounds like it’s time for a hug
If you’ve been dragged over the coals
if life is taking it’s toll
If you’re being chased by a thug
just open your arms and give him a hug
Sometimes people are very rude
just because they’re in a bad mood
You should get up close and snug
Then reach out and give their ass a hug
When everyday all you see is bad omens
when life keeps feeding you lemons
When for the things you are owed, you never get paid
Just give a hug and say it's all paid.

Hole Under Door Lock

Wednesday, I approached my truck from the passenger side to place my computer bag in the front passenger seat.
As I reached to open the door I noticed there was a hole right
under my door handle.
My first thought was, "someone has shot my truck !"
I began to think about it and inspect it a little closer and
the "light" slowly began to come on.
I phoned my friend who owns a body shop and asked if he had any
vehicles with damage to the doors that looked like a bullet hole.
"Yes, I see it all the time. Thieves have a punch and place it
right under the door handle, knock a hole through, reach in and
unlock it, just as if they have a key. No alarms, broken glass,
or anything."
I then placed a call to my insurance agent and explained it to
him. I was puzzled that they left my GPS and all other belongings.
Here is where it gets scary !
"Oh no, he said, they want the break-in to be so subtle that you
don't even realize it. They look at your GPS to see where "home"
is. Or check your address from Insurance and Registration in your glove box. Now, they know what you drive, go to your home, and if your
vehicle isn't there they assume you aren't and break into your home."
He said they will even leave a purse or wallet and only take one
or two credit cards. By the time you realize there has been a
theft, they may have already had a couple of days or more to
use them.
(I didn't realize my situation for two full days!)
They even give you the courtesy of re-locking your doors for you.
Periodically, walk around your car, especially after you park
in a shopping center or other large parking area.
Report thefts immediately....your bank w/missing check numbers,
your credit card agencies, police, and insurance companies, etc.

I have been in Germany for two years and it was a very nice experience to see the beautiful country and see things you thought you never get to see. It is a very clean country and people are very nice to American. I also visited Italy while I was in Europe and it was a very nice experience too. I have see so much in two years that I would never have seen in a life time. It anybody ever get the chance to travel to Europe they should take the chance and do it. It is very much worth the while. There is just so much to see over there you just do not have the time to see it all. I saw the world largest castle in the worlds and it was really pretty. So that is what my life has been like in the last two years.

I often wonders why our country always gets in to everyone fighting in the Middle East. I think we have enough on our own plate here without going to some other country getting involved in somebody else business. We have so much fighting going on here with gangs and others things here that we should just keep our guys here. What do you think.

RED FRIDAY

> If the red shirt thing is new to you, read below how it went for a man...
>
> Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together .
>
> After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant, who'd been invited to sit in First Class (across from me), and inquired if he was heading home.
>
> No, he responded.
>
> Heading out I asked?
>
> No. I'm escorting a soldier home.
>
> Going to pick him up?
>
> No. He is with me right now. He was killed in Iraq , I'm taking him home to his family.
>
> The realization of what he had been asked to do hit me like a punch to the gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that, although he didn't know the soldier, he had delivered the news of his passing to the soldier's family and felt as if he knew them after many conversations in so few days.
>
> I turned back to him, extended my hand, and said, Thank you. Thank you for doing what you do so my family and I can do what w e do.
>
> Upon landing in Chicago the pilot stopped short of the gate and made the following announcement over the intercom.
>
> 'Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to note that we have had the honor of having Sergeant Steeley of the United States Marine Corps join us on this flight. He is escorting a fallen comrade back home to his family. I ask that you please remain in your seats when we open the forward door to allow Sergeant Steeley to deplane and receive his fellow soldier. We will then turn off the seat belt sign.'
>
> Without a sound, all went as requested. I noticed the sergeant saluting the casket as it was brought off the plane, and his action made me realize that I am proud to be an American.
>
> So here's a public Thank You to our military Men and Women for what you do so we can live the way we do.
>
> Red Fridays.
>
> Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority.' We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing.
>
> Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that ... every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something red.
>
> By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States o n every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acqua intances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let ou r troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.
>
> The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is. 'We need your support and your prayers.' Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something red every Friday.

You meet people on here and you think they are your friends. I have found out that they are your friends to your face but when you are not around it is a different story. I do not understand why people act like that. When you meet me I am the same as I am when we meet. I tell you if I do not consider you my friend you will know it. I try my best to be friendly to everyone. There are also people on here that like to get other people to ask you questions when they are afraiid to ask you up front. So I say be as truthfull as possible.

Well it has really been a nice adventure here so far. I was kind scared when I decided to come but it well worth the trip. I have really seen some beautiful country here. If you ever get the chance to visit Europe you should do it. The people here are very friendly and treat you with respect.

Well after ready certain blog on here about adultry in the militay. I think people should be very carefull what they say until they know what the curmstance are. I would also like to say that a person does not have to get married for benefits from the Army expecially if they already had there benefits before they got married. People on here have a thing where they like to try and tend to other people business when it not any of the business especially if they do not pay the other person bills and by there food. So if the one blogs was meant for me then I want that person to know I have my own benefits and do not need the army to cover my benefits thank you.
