All Hat–No Land
In Texas, when a man does a bit too much bragging and can’t back it up they say he’s “All hat, no land.”
Here is an e-mail I received in my spam mail.
Buy fake/novelty university diplomas and degrees online. We design our Degree or Diploma Certificates and Transcripts to look 99.99% identical to world famous originals including identical security grade transcript paper, identical water markings, raised-ink crests, embossed seals, correct card stock weight (60-100lb depending upon institution specifications). Most post-secondary institutions available.
It reminded me of the day that a friend of mine who is now a well respected all time best selling author and advisor to many and also a multi-millionaire bought him a PhD and he invited me to get my PhD from a questionable California University. All it would cost me was a couple of thousand dollars and not one lick of work. I wouldn’t have to attend a single class nor would I have to make a trip to California. My friend was running around using Doctor in front of his name and selling these diplomas by the cartload. I passed. You’d be stunned if I told you his name. I won’t. National Speakers Assn. finally stepped in and if you claimed you had certain diplomats you had to prove it.
I have read that most people’s resumes contain some sort of lies in them. It is as if no one is really satisfied with their real qualifications or accomplishments. We all want to be a little better than we are but often we are not willing to pay the high price of accomplishment.
Say Something Good
Local Theatre. The past weekend my wife Jean and I attended a performance of Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming by our local Orange Community Players. What a wonderful afternoons entertainment. The play is centered around a homecoming for the Sanders Family singers and there are some 24 Songs and not one too many. The stage was crammed full with top talent and after the show as I walked down that line up of performers I just couldn’t express my thanks to them all for lifting my spirits and touching my heart. If you stick to just Broadway shows in NYC or on tour you might be missing out on the very best theatre in this world. That is the down home kind. May God Bless America and bring our troops home to make this an even better America.
Points to Ponder
If given only two choices, the average person at a funeral would prefer to be the person laid out in the casket than the poor stiff who has to deliver the eulogy! Jerry Seinfeld
A Little Humor
A Police STOP at 2 AM An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night. The man replies, “I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late.†The officer then asks, “Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?” The man replies, “That would be my wife.”
