Good song James,
They say everything we own is tied to a piece of our energy. So if our life feels cluttered we must dispose of it.
Cars never did mean anything to me. If it has power steering and gets me from a to b, im fine with it. Lol. But i like the sentiment within this song.
God i have driven some bangers in my day."
Well done.

Re: THOUGHT FOR THE DAY! (10 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Nela,
Heres another thought for your day!
Don't break the elastic !!
In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.
And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting.' Regarding bod changes, she said there were many, occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which one will reach her waist, first.
Maya Angelou said this:
'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'
'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'
'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'
'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'
'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'
'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.'
'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, usually make the right decision.'
'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'
'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.'
'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.'
'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'
I Helena } also learned today, everything i purchased last week has gone up 2/3 euro per item ? Hello!
Now all the stock that was already in this country in warehouses, is reaping the fat
cats rewards already! at the expense of the ordinary workers.
Tried everywhere Nela for a fat assed camel steak " No Joy" I only got the hump ! . My lovely butcher busted laughing, asking me where me jihab was?
or would i like one hump or 2 in me tea!
Ya gotta laugh. Lifes to short. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvsYE3VBlOU

Re: About LANGUAGE (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi Docs,
Is there a system to help young people rich or poor ?.
Yes! to my way of thinking there is! Good oldfashioned Parenting.
Direct eye contact from a very young age. Use a tone that says and means. " I accept no nonsense". There first steps to discipline are taught through parents.
When kids go to school they dont throw there stuff on the floor. They use lockers and whatever else is there for storage. WHY ?. Because there are guidelines implemented immediately in schools and anything else is unacceptable.
A bigger problem in modern society is "Latchkey Kids", i feel. Do Most couples work now for real wants or greed wants ?. Having a child or children coming home to a empty house to me is awful. Every moment is a moment of learning so, these kids are learning loneliness and isolation from a young age. All the gagets in the world cannot hug them or speak to them!
I know people have to work, But do both parents have to be gone all day?. Then { the Parents }are to tired to interact with there kids in the evening.
Take your kids on sensory missions. This dont cost the earth! Let them hear the beauty of your voice as you speak to them about them on a one to one, or at family meals. Ask for stories of there day. You can ofton be surprised at what you learn from these shared times. You have to make them feel part of a unit. If not they will find another, maybe a more troublesome one.
Tell them you "love them" Hug them, your there family! if you dont, who will ?.
Throw an old rug in the garden and lie with them when the stars are out. Learn a little about the constellations and share with them.
Put bird feeders on there windowpanes. Instant connection to the beauty of nature.
Give them a simple book to indentify the visiting birds.
Roll back some stones or logs and net a few of the crawlies there. Again teaching the kids why these insects are there and why they like this enviroment. You learn and they benifit.
This kind of interaction keeps them aware and sensitive to there surroundings.
If you teach them how to love the smallest thing, they wont want to harm a living soul young or old.
This list is endless, but it is all about spending time with your kids.
This hang Ass trousers business apparently came about when kids would be arrested.
The first thing they had to do was take off there belt for safety reasons inside a prison cell.! This has now become a fashion in the hood. All be it for the wrong reasons.
If we want our kids to be productive adults we have to invest time, love and instill belief in the wonder of themselves as human beings.
These are Just some of my simplistic views on rearing kids and it dont cost the earth to implement.
