A Minute with Mo

Received this in an email and thought i would share... I've seen it before but thought others may enjoy it as well.  Not sure who wrote it, but I cant take credit for this one... enjoy! Law of the Garbage Truck One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappoi...

So occasionally, my co-workers and I have this 'hot topic' tradition where we discuss controversial, interesting, and just juicy and 'hot' stuff at work during lunch, lol.

And those two people find themselves worse off than they were before. Two very good friends that share in sexual acts with each other with no emot...

Life's recent events have made me take a moment to step back and evaluate my friendships with certain people.  Friendship is something that I take very seriously... and maybe its because I've had some really good friendships and I also consider myself to be a good friend (most of the time - hey I am human.) To me, a friendship is just as serious as a relationship (in my humble opinion). They require many of the same ingredients, - time, communication, trust, dependability, stability, FUN, you have to like the person, have at least a few things in common and they will be tried at times...
