If you can start the day without caffeine
If you can get going without pep pills
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles
If you can eat the same food everyday & be grateful for it
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you
any time
If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when,
through no fault of yours, something goes wrong
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment
If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend
If you can face the world without lies and deceit
If you can conquer tension without medical help
If you can relax without liquor
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice
against creed, color, religion or politics
Then, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog or cat!!!

Finally an explanation for the oil shortage...
Also from Sandi!
There are a lot of folks who can't understand how we came to have an
oil shortage here in the USA. Well, there's a very simple
answer...nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we
were getting low.
The reason for that is purely geographical.
All the oil is in Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska, etc. All the dipsticks are
in Washington, DC
