Thanks Muzz.
You're not such a bad nugget after all.
For a sassenach, that is. :cool:

Thank you Muzz. I have learned that we should never take for granted that there will be a tomorrow. This is why I live each day as if it was my last.

Live simply so other people can simply live. I love that.

Peace

Bring forth the tears! I only hope to instill in my children such love, passion, understanding of what we are here for! Thank you for this lovely video!

One never knows what a human being has experienced when you walk by them in the street.

Live simply so other people can simply live.

What a great teaching!

Thank you for the message Muzz. ♥




ps. This is sooooooo not off topic. Could this not be moved into a section that is visible to the general public?

Just realised this line came from Mother Theresa (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/838305.Mother_Teresa)

By choosing our lifestyle carefully, we are in effect helping many other people around the world who have it a lot less fortunate than we do. Buying organic cotton clothes and bedding keeps pesticides and other toxins off farm worker’s bodies. Choosing to use biodegradable soaps and cleaners prevents our oceans and rivers from becoming toxic waste dumps. Giving money to charity instead of splurging on yourself once in a while enables a kid in some far away land to get a textbook. In almost everything we do, there is an effect on someone else in the world. Just being wise to this fact can separate you from the herd.

Only a few extreme environmentalists want anyone to go live in a cave, eat only wheat grass, and read by candlelight only. Most of us are not that type of “green”; I just want everyone to be able to live comfortably and mindfully, within their means, while having a minimal negative affect on the rest of the people on the planet. No matter how far away they are or what they do for a living, they are still people. And we all share the earth together, regardless of age, creed, sex, or the size of our wallets. If we all do our best to keep in mind the other 6 billion people on the planet every time we shop or make lifestyle changes, we will all be better off. And there is nothing wrong with that at all… source (http://www.thegoodhuman.com/2008/12/11/live-simply-so-that-others-may-simply-live/)

i'm 65 yrs old & have been doing all this stuff for at least 45 yrs -- but not enough of the rest of you were doing it to make a difference --

it's a little late for all this now -- your planet is being nuked & a NWO is being put into place -- your 'window of opportunity' to stop them using the united power of the choices you made, esp re to whom you gave your money -- that window is almost closed -- i suggest you think about survival as a species now
