the next time life gets you down. Somehow a small acorn that can fit into the palm of your hand can grow into a giant oak tree.

And if that cheered you up: For every small acorn that grows into a giant oak tree tens of thousands don't. -------------------- Grammar wenches beware: This is the house that the malt that the rat that the cat that the dog that the cow that the maiden that the man that the priest that the cock that the farmer kept waked married kissed milked tossed worried killed ate lay in.

It's the balance, you see. Everything positive must always be countered by something negative. Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

64a. Care at the Beginning What lies still is easy to grasp; What lies far off is easy to anticipate; What is brittle is easy to shatter; What is small is easy to disperse. Yet a tree broader than a man can embrace is born of a tiny shoot; A dam greater than a river can overflow starts with a clod of earth; A journey of a thousand miles begins at the spot under one's feet. Therefore deal with things before they happen; Create order before there is confusion. 76. Flexibility A newborn is soft and tender, A crone, hard and stiff. Plants and animals, in life, are supple and succulent; In death, withered and dry. So softness and tenderness are attributes of life, And hardness and stiffness, attributes of death. Just as a sapless tree will split and decay So an inflexible force will meet defeat; The hard and mighty lie beneath the ground While the tender and weak dance on the breeze above. --- Tao Te Ching (Merel) -------------------- You are my precious thing Thing of speed and beauty, You are my precious thing As long as you remain beneath me -- Big Black Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

The way that can be written down is not the way. Except on this forum, where it can be expressed in units of root beer. -------------------- This space intentionally left blank. Posts: 70 | Registered: Monday, September 1 2003 07:00 |

On Spiderweb, we treat all things with equal reverence. You can't say we're not fair. —Alorael, who supposes some things may be snubbed a bit. Little things like anything conservative, moderate, or not quite as far left as the rest of the boards. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Is the word being modified by "ineffable" in the above Djur-title meant to be: a) "sage - ry" as in the actions of a sage (wise man/magic user) b) "sag – ery" as in what happens to the dangly bits as you get older. c) as written, some word that I don't understand. d) all/some of the above. Just thought I'd ask since the clarification seems important. Future poll topic? You be the judge. -------------------- This space intentionally left blank.

Option b is the correct one. -------------------- "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain- at least in a poor country like Russia- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.

I stand corrected. Didn't notice that m8 spelled it with only one "g." -------------------- "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain- at least in a poor country like Russia- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.
