Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

It is always better to be underestimated.

There are three things that are better than riches: Health, Freedom, and Honor.

Think swiftly, speak softly, act wisely.

"The world is neither Scottish, English, nor Irish, neither French, Dutch, nor Chinese, but human, and each nation is only the partial development of a universal humanity." - James Grant on founding the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights, 1862

There’s nothing funny about colonoscopies, unless they’re being explained by Dave Berry. Hats off to you Red. I’ll be sure to tell Dad Windu about the vodka.

      My husband had one recently and was given that schpeel to be able to laugh. Colonoscopies are no laughing matter, but this made it a bit easier to digest. Thanks for the plug.

      THAT sounds like a wild ride.

      As for endoscopies, unfortunately Baby Boy has to have them at least once a year . . . sometimes twice. Yuck!

      I had one and it hurt, hurt, hurt. I was livid because I was alert enough to be awake and in pain but not enough to do more than mutter. What I really wanted to do was punch the guy.
