Dead aliens break more laws buried in your country, right?_9922a Explore

LARGE go before reading "wrong" tags to right. CIA is spying on my readers, right?

 

No one enters Explore without being favored, usually at least three times.

For all you my favorites favoring my fotos, blessed be you and yours I pray in appreciation. Give extra smiles out at your house, work, street each day.

People will like it and often smile back, wondering WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT SMILING PERSON. Our secret: nothing is wrong, just so thrilled to breath, I desire to pass on this act of friendship as a random act of kindness (RAK).

Lets fill our lives with RAK to those who are not even our friends yet.

CAN AN ALIEN SEE AND HAVE YOUR SMILE TODAY?

My Grandmother’s Plot in the Family Cemetery

 

She was my grandfather’s second wife. Coming late

to him, she was the same age his first wife

had been when he married her. He made

my grandmother a young widow to no one’s surprise,

and she buried him close beside the one whose sons

clung to her at the funeral tighter than her own

children. But little of that story is told

by this place. The two of them lie beneath one stone.

 

Mother and Father in cursive carved at the foot

of the grave. My grandmother, as though by her own design

removed, is buried in the corner, outermost plot,

with no one near; her married name th only sign

she belongs. And at that, she could be Daughter or pitied

Sister, one of those who never married.

Ten Commandments for a Loving, Responsible, Pet Owner...

 

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

 

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

 

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

 

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainments. But I have only you. Your are the focus of my entire existence.

 

5. Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

 

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

 

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, and yet I choose not to bite you.

 

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long or my heart might be getting old or weak.

 

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.

 

10. On the difficult journey, on the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Because I love you so.

 

Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful thing without God’s critters. Please pass this on to other pet owners.
