BOOKS AND BLOGGING PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is defined as a theory underlying or regarding a sphere of activity or thought. Well, my theory is if I can add at least 10 new books to my Wishlist and move at least 5 older Wishlist selections to my TBR list every month, then life is a ice cream sundae. And if I can find those 10 books from at least 5 new blogs each month then that's the cherry on top.

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!
Well, I've made it almost 5 years now, so for better or worse, I continue on. I tend to blog in spurts as the urge to be creative erupts. As I don't have an artistic bone in my body, you will see very few changes in the layouts. Hey, I'm a reader not an artist like so many of the awesome bloggers I follow. I know you don't always have the time but if you stopped and looked, take a half a minute and say your piece. Recommend a book that you have enjoyed or hated for that matter. Thank you to all who visit.
Oh, and I moved my Google Friend Connect info and share this buttons to the top, as without our friends, who are we?

The Haircut---Thanks to Robert


The Haircut 


One day a
 librarian went to a barber for a haircut.
After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied,
'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community
service this week.'
The florist was pleased and left the shop.

When the barber went to open his shop the next morning,
there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen best sellers waiting
for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to
pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept
money from you, I'm doing community service this week.'
The cop was happy and left the shop.

The next morning when the barber went to open up,
there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting
for him at his door.

Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when
he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot
accept money from you. I'm doing community
service this week.'
The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up,
there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for
a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental
difference between the citizens of our country and
the politicians who run it.


BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE
CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON!

Nothing bad will happen, however, you must live with
yourself knowing that laughter is not in your future and
neither is better government.

Love it! Especially the Thumpter Award--life is too short to read stupid books, isn't it? I ran a bookstore for many years and have a story about it on my latest blog entry. Glad you're doing well and please stop by and share a secret! http://fateandfaith-julee.blogspot.com/2011/06/do-you-want-to-know-secret.html

Haha... this is such a funny story. It's too true. Some people will give gifts for service; others will send other people your way to take from you.
