    If I Had My Life To Live OverBy Erma Bombeck

    Pass this on to the people you want watched over ... 
    By Erma Bombeck Written after she found out she was dying from cancer ... emailed by a friend, Marcia Sabetti.
    By Erma Bombeck Written after she found out she was dying from cancer.
    I would have gone to bed when I was sick, instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren’t there for the day.

    I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

    I would have talked less and listened more.

    I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

    I would have eaten the popcorn in the ‘good’ living room, and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

    I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

    I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

    I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

    I would have cried and laughed less while watching television – and more while watching life.

    I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn’t show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

    Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I’d have cherished every moment, and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

    When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, “Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.”

    There would have been more “I love you’s.”.  More “I'm sorry’s”.  But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute ... look at it and really see it ... live it ... and never give it back.

    Stop sweating the small stuff.  Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more, or who’s doing what.

    Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who Do Love Us.

    Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with.

    And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually.

    Life is too short to let it pass you by. We only have one shot at this and then it's gone.

    I hope you all have a blessed day.

    In memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer.  Here is Angel sent to watch over you...

    Pass this on to the people you want watched over ....

    What a Dad had to say ...
    “ ..it brought tears in my eyes.. ” I am so sorry about the loss of your son Cyrus. I have read the story that you wrote in the page. I cannot imagine the trauma that you and your wife had to go thru, it brought tears in my eyes at the middle of the story what you must have gone thru. How sad it must had been. We too had our sorrows and had to go thru the valley of the unknown hurts of life... Gustaaf Vogelsang 8 August, 2001
    What a bereaved Mom & Dad have to say ...
    “ ..losing a child is far more devastating.. ” Losing an offspring like our 25 year old, Cyrus, is a devastation NO parent will ever know, unless ONE EXPERIENCES it. It is far more devastating than losing one's own parents and brothers and sisters – which we had experienced and had gone through several times. More so when this child was a living doll, then no longer a child, became an adult and then a friend, a trusted buddy who can instead give advice, and whom we can share experiences with . On Jan. 28, 1999 when he passed away, and 2½ years later on Aug. 7th. 2001, our voices still break up and tears welled up in his mother's eyes , when a friend who did not know Cyrus was no longer with us, asked “...and how is Cyrus..?” || The Do's and Don'ts in facing bereaved parents – from the bereaved's perspectives

    Start life with someone you can spend hours talking – about anything
    Physical attributes (and physical attraction) come second ... they go away in time.
    When you can communicate – and because of it understand each other, you will avoid misunderstandings, fights and boredom ... then “Life Together” after 38 years can become a reality ... and is worth it.

    WebRing is the first, largest, and fastest-growing service of its kind on the Internet, providing one of the easiest ways for visitors to navigate the Web.In each of its tens of thousands of Rings, Member web sites have banded together to form their sites into linked circles. Their purpose:  to allow more visitors to reach them quickly and easily. An extraordinary system servicing three primary World Wide Web groups: Visitors, Member sites and advertiser-merchants, WebRing remains entirely open and free of charge to both Visitors and Members. As a leading online navigation aid, WebRing is experiencing a growth rate of over 10% monthly. Daily page requests from visitors exceed 2,000,000; Member sites total over 1,300,000; Rings total over 80,000. The WebRing system can support a nearly unlimited number of separate and distinct Rings across the Internet. This unique structure allows the creation and evolution of tens of thousands of different "web communities." Through navigation links found most often at the bottom of Member pages, Visitors can travel all or any of the sites in a Ring. They can move through a Ring in either direction, go to the next or previous site, or list the next five sites in the Ring. They can jump to a random site in the Ring, or survey all the sites that make up the Ring. The quickest way to find a Ring of interest is to visit WebRing's online Directory, or use RingSearch to search for Rings across the entire system, then refine your search by searching within a Ring.

    To change screen settings to 800x600 pixels, the 'middle' standard used in over 85% of all web pages created around the world, point cursor at empty point in taskbar, choose Minimize All Windows, when minimized point cursor at any empty point in windows, right click mouse, choose Properties, choose Settings, choose Screen Area, choose the Midpoint for 800x600 pixels. Click OK. It takes less than 15 seconds to do, your computer won't be damaged or blow up, and you can always get back to your original settings by following the instructions on the screen.
    MIDI, or musical instrument digital interface, is a standard used by sound-card makers and musical instrument manufacturers to let various electronic instruments and sound processors talk to each other. Because MIDI sound samples and synthesis algorithms are stored on the local system (either in your sound card, the PC's processor, or in an external MIDI module), all that needs to be sent over the wire is a series of signals that say what note to play when. For that reason, extremely small MIDI files (less than 5K) can still deliver several minutes of music. A 3 minute MP3 sound carries a size of some 2.7 MB, while the equivalent 3 minute MIDI file is about 1/100 its size (27K). MIDI notes and sound effects are usually limited to the sounds in the standard General MIDI set. General MIDI is a fairly extensive set, including drums, woodwinds, strings, and some sound effects, but it's not the same as recording your own sounds or your voice which you can with MP3. Also, MIDI quality depends almost exclusively on the sound system used for playback. A PC with an el cheapo sound card using weak FM synthesis technology could make even a brilliant MIDI arrangement sound like a $15 electronic keyboard, whereas an expensive wavetable synthesis sound system could produce awe-inspiring MIDI tones. For quicker down loading, MIDI files are used here.
