Today I pass the friendship ball to you.

Pass it on to someone who is a friend to you...

Always try to help a friend in need

Believe in yourself

Be brave...but it's ok to be afraid sometimes

Study hard

Give lots of kisses

Laugh often

Don't be overly concerned with your weight, it's just a number

Always try to see the glass half full

Meet new people, even if they look different to you

Remain calm, even when it seems hopeless

Take lots of naps..

Be weird whenever you have the chance

Love your friends, no matter who they are

Don't waste food

RELAX

Take an occasional risk

Try to have a little fun each day.
...it's important

Work together as a team

Share a joke with friends

Fall in love with someone..

...and say 'I love you' often

Express yourself creatively

Be conscious of your appearance

Always be up for surprises

Love someone with all of your heart

Share with friends

Watch your step

It will get better

There is always someone who loves you more than you know

Exercise to keep fit

Live up to your name

Seize the Moment

Hold on to good friends; they are few and far between

Indulge in the things you truly love

Cherish every Sunday

At the end of the day... PRAY

....... and close your eyes

And smile at least once a day!

A Keeper

Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, work shirt and a hat; and Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other.

It was the time for fixing things: a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep.

It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, re-heating leftovers, renewing; I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more.

But when my mother died, and I was standing in that clear morning light in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more.

Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...never to return. So... While we have it, it's best we love it... And care for it... And fix it when it's broken... And heal it when it's sick. This is true: For marriage... And old cars... And children with bad report cards. Dogs and cats with bad hips... And aging parents... And grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep, like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with.

There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special... And so, we keep them close!

I received this from someone who thinks I am a 'keeper,' so I've sent it to the people I think of in the same way... Now it's your turn to send this to those people that are "keepers" in your life.

Good friends are like stars... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there!

Subject: Credit Card Info

boy do the scams ever stop ??? take heed !!

Subject: Credit Card Info

Be sure to read Scene 3
Quite interesting.

SCENE 1.
This is a new one.

People sure stay busy trying to cheat us, don't they?

A friend went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker.
After the workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself, "Funny, I thought I locked the locker.

Hmm, "He dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order.

Everything looked okay - all cards were in place.

A few weeks later his credit card bill came - a whooping bill of $14,000!

He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions.

Customer care personnel verified that there was no Mistake in the system
and asked if his card had been stolen.

"No," he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and yep - you guessed it - a switch had been made.

An expired similar credit card from the same bank was in the wallet.

The thief broke into his locker a t the gym and switch ed cards.< /I>

Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them.

How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy?

$9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped?

Small amounts rarely trigger a "warning bell" with some credit card companies.

It just so happens that all the small amounts added up to big one!

SCENE 2.

A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card.

The bill for the meal came, he signed it,and the waitress folded the receipt
and passed the credit card along.

Usually, he would just take it and place it in his wallet or pocket. Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the card and, lo and
behold, it was the expired card of another person.

He called the waitress and she looked perplexed.

She took it ba ck, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under the watchful eye of the man.

All the waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong expired card to the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took out the real card.

No exchange of words --- nothing! She took it and came back to the man with an apology.

Verdict:

Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours.

Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is taken away for even a short period of time.

Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it, "assuming" that it has to be theirs.

FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DEVELOP THE H ABIT OF CHECKING YOU R CREDIT CARD EACH TIME IT IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION!

SCENE 3:

Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called in.

I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course, is linked directly
to my checking account.

The young man behind the counter took my card, swiped it, then laid it on
the counter as he waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure.

While he waited, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing.
I noticed the phon e because it is the same model I have, bu t nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a
picture.

He then gave me back my card but kept the phone in his hand as if he was still pressing buttons.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is taking a picture of, oblivious to what was really going on.

It then dawned on me: the only thing there was my credit card, so now I'm paying close attention to what he is doing.

He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open.

About five seconds later, I heard the chime that tells you that the picture has been saved.

Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact that this boy just took a picture of my credit card.

Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of phone, I probably would never have known what happened.
Needless t o say, I immediately canceled that card as I was wa lking out of the pizza parlor..

All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times.

Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be
careless.

Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when you use your card.

Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days.

When you are in a restaurant and the waiter/waitress brings your card and receipt for you to sign, make sure you scratch the number off.

Some restaurants are using only the last four digits, but a lot of them are still putting the whole thing on there.

I have already been a victim of credit card fraud and, believe me, it is not fun. The truth is that they can get you even when you are careful, but don't make it easy for them.

FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN THINK OF. LET'S GET THE WORD OUT! JUST BE AWARE

Thank You,

My support group is working on making a memory quilt. The quilt will have one square (8 x 11�) dedicated to someone who has passed away.

I am working on designing a square for the quilt in memory of Brett. I am adding a list of things he loved. If you know of something he loved to add to the list, you can post it or email me off list at pmorrisb@gmail. com. For example, I know he like to go to the comedy club, perhaps you know the name of his favorite comedian, etc.

I would love to hear of any of his loved things even if they are a no-no� you may want to email me off list with those�

I remembered when he was little he loved Star Wars & Rocky. I don't know why that's what is coming to mind, but everytime I see Star Wars or here Eye of the Tiger I think of him. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to come over today, but it is also my brother-in-laws birthday today and I had to have dinner and cake over there. If you have anymore pics of Brett and get a chance would you please send them to me. Thanks.

Love you

That is soooo funny and it reminds me of a time we were at a rave in ATL one night and it was around 6 in the morning and a bunch of us got in my friend Haley's car (which he had a HUGE crush on) and we were parting all night and we were all sooooo quiet and the only thing on Sun mornings was old r&b and some song came on and he was singing to the top of his lungs and had everyone cracking up..OK..so you had to be there but it was times like that where he was so much fun to be around. I have a million stories like that and they always make me giggle..

We were both obsessed with all types of music and dj's and going top raves and on my 18th b-day he went to little 5 points w/me and I got my tounge peirced and then that night we went to a rave in ATL..He was so good with glow sticks and we would dance and have too much fun..I miss him and those days..We went to Six Flags with Mitchell all day and we were leaving and started to drive through Atlanta to his Aunt's and we ended up in the middle of freaknik. That's where all the black kids from all colleges come to Atlanta and it was funny because we must have stuck out like a sore thumb..We were under the influence which made it probably a lot more funny than it really was but...Alright, I should stop because I could go on and on about silly times..

OK, Brett listened to Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond and if he could right now, he would just deny it, I'm sure. But many times at my mothers house I would hear that song playing..... ..

My support group is working on making a memory quilt. The quilt will have one square (8 x 11�) dedicated to someone who has passed away.

I am working on designing a square for the quilt in memory of Brett. I am adding a list of things he loved. If you know of something he loved to add to the list, you can post it or email me off list at pmorrisb@gmail. com. For example, I know he like to go to the comedy club, perhaps you know the name of his favorite comedian, etc.

I would love to hear of any of his loved things even if they are a no-no� you may want to email me off list with those�

On this 6th anniversary of Brett's death, I look to focus on memories
of the joy of knowing him and less on the sorrow of his loss.

I plan on going through some photo albums tonight, anyone in the area
between 7 -9PM is welcome to stop by.

That is soooo funny and it reminds me of a time we were at a rave in ATL one night and it was around 6 in the morning and a bunch of us got in my friend Haley's car (which he had a HUGE crush on) and we were parting all night and we were all sooooo quiet and the only thing on Sun mornings was old r&b and some song came on and he was singing to the top of his lungs and had everyone cracking up..OK..so you had to be there but it was times like that where he was so much fun to be around. I have a million stories like that and they always make me giggle..

We were both obsessed with all types of music and dj's and going top raves and on my 18th b-day he went to little 5 points w/me and I got my tounge peirced and then that night we went to a rave in ATL..He was so good with glow sticks and we would dance and have too much fun..I miss him and those days..We went to Six Flags with Mitchell all day and we were leaving and started to drive through Atlanta to his Aunt's and we ended up in the middle of freaknik. That's where all the black kids from all colleges come to Atlanta and it was funny because we must have stuck out like a sore thumb..We were under the influence which made it probably a lot more funny than it really was but...Alright, I should stop because I could go on and on about silly times..

Oh my gosh..I totally forgot about him liking Neil Diamond until you said that about the song he used to play. We went to Stone Mountain one time and saw the laser show and they play Neil Diamond through it and I remember him being so into it...Wow..I haven't thought of that in a long time.

Damn, I miss him..

the day brings both pain and delight.. I think of him often and reminisce when going through photos.. I still avoid thinking about this day as it brings a wave of panic, sadness and helplessness.. I like thinking of him the other 364 days of the year more since it will either have me laughing or saying "pain in the ass" and getting a hug..

miss you, aunt kathy
