starting over

October 05, 2005So i deleted my \"bad idea\" post seeing as how it just being there made me feel bad. By the way my friend is not that mad at me since i explained why i did what i did. Anyways, got this really cool e-mail and now i must share it with the world so here ya go:(it\'s kinda long and when i 1st read the title i was like \"we only have 1?)
\"One Flaw In Women\"
By the time the Lord made woman, He was into his sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared and said, \"Why are you spending so much time on this one?\" And the Lord answered, \"Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart and she will do everything with only two hands.\"
The angel was astounded at the requirements. \"Only two hands!? No way! And that\'s just on the standard model? That\'s too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish.\"
But I won\'t,\" the Lord protested. \"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days.\"
The angel moved closer and touched the woman. \"But you have made her so soft, Lord.\" \"She is soft,\" the Lord agreed, \"but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.\"
\"Will she be able to think?\", asked the angel.
The Lord replied, \"Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate.\"
The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman\'s cheek. \"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.\"
\"That\'s not a leak,\" the Lord replied, \"that\'s a tear!\"
\"What\'s the tear for?\" the angel asked.
The Lord said, \"The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride.\" The angel was impressed. \"You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing.\"
And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they beli eve in. They stand up to injustice. They don\'t take \"no\" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They\'ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is whatmakes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

IT took me 24ish hours to just get our of TX on a drive that would usually take around 5-6. Thanks to all that our keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. I\'ll type more later. Gotta go glue my eyes to the t.v. and watch this disaster.
