You know... I've been thinking.

With all the differences of opinion and all the "my way is better" that goes on in this place, I still have to honest and say if I saw a fellow member on the side of the road, I'd stop and help. Even if he/she was the biggest pain in the ass on here... yeah, even the now-silent member.

I think that's a pretty cool thing about this place.

Which leads me to post this:

1. Don't sweat the small stuff and remember, most stuff is small.
2. The most boring word in any language is I.
3. Nobody is indispensable, especially you.
4. Life is full of surprises. Just say “never” and you'll see.
5. People are more important than things.
6. Persistence will get you almost anything eventually.
7. Nobody can make you happy. Most folks are about as happy as they make up
their minds to be.
8. There’s so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us
that it doesn't behoove any of us to talk about the rest of us.
9. Live by what you trust, not by what you fear.
10. Character counts. Family matters.
11. Eating out with small children isn't worth it even if someone else is
buying.
12. If you wait to have kids until you can afford them, you probably never
will.
13. Baby kittens don't begin to open their eyes for six weeks after birth.
Men generally take about 26 years.
14. The world would run a lot smoother if more men knew how to dance.
15. Television ruins more minds than drugs.
16. Sometimes there is more to gain in being wrong than right.
17. Life is so much simpler when you tell the truth.
18. People who do the worlds real work don't usually wear neckties.
19. A good joke beats a pill for a Jot of ailments.
20. There are no substitutes for fresh air, sunshine and exercise.
21. A smile is the cheapest way to improve your looks, even if your teeth
are crooked.
22. May you live life so there is standing room only at your funeral.
23. Mothers always know best but sometimes fathers know, too.
24. Forgive yourself your friends and your enemies. You’re all only human.
25. If you don't do anything else in life, love someone and let someone love
you.

Have a good one!

Pete

I agree. We all do share a common interest, or we wouldn't be here.

Besides, people are usually much less obnoxious in person than they are on message boards. There are always exceptions, of course...

I'd help any of ya'll out too. Just because some among us are politically retarded doesn't mean we aren't all brothers.

Mike, you wouldn't want me to treat you like I treat my brother. In fact, by speaking to you, I am treating you better than my brother. I'd stop to give you a ride if your car broke down so you are definately in better graces with me than my brother. I found my brother's stash of condoms and pricked holes in them.

Moral of the blurb? Sometimes, brothers are not that close.

I agree with you 100%. All the more reason there should be a Mercedesshop grill badge. Come to think about it I would help any stranded Mercedes owner.

If you feel that way about him, why risk having more like him in the world?

aklim,

Please give your brother a new box of condoms. Your relationship with your brother should not jeapordize anyone else, or be the cause of an unwanted child.

Please,
Mark

By the at the top of his post I think he was kidding.
Either that or his relationship with his brother might be worse than you think...

Actually, I did it years ago and thought about it after I did it. Know what? I told him before he could use them. I told him that a few had pinpricks in them and he should not put a prick in them. Showed him the few that did and told him that was all I could find but there might be more. Make him sweat it whenever I am in country that some but not all are "holey". Noticed that the last time I was there, he threw out all his condoms when I casually mentioned "Trojans". Now, I don't have to do anything and I can rattle him. Ain't life grand?

Who are you talking about???

Hatti announced he was off for vaca for a few days, and geez, forgot his name already, hmmm, let me think for a moment, oh ya, BHD, haven't seen nor heard from him in a while! Brotherly members why not? If BHD were thumbing on the side of the road behind a big deep puddle, would I swerve to avoid splashing him? Why of course I would
