14 Rules To Never Break When Dealing With An Addict
I consider most people who receive this posl directly from me would not become addicted. But you might have reason to handle someone else’s addiction. If so, this list could save you dollars and save the life of the addict. Some of them come under the heading of tough love. But love is helping someone solve the problem, not digging their grave with weakness.

Another Whale Killed by Plastic Waste
I have tears in my eyes as I write this. It is such an avoidable tragedy.
Please do what you can personally to keep plastic from entering our drains and water ways.
If you see a plastic bag or bottle, wrapper or drink carton, pick it up and dispose of it properly. I did tonight as I walked my dog. Two drink bottles, a plastic bag and a dozen pieces of other rubbish.
Please don’t let the ignorant and irresponsible define us humans.
It just give us all a bad name.
And I’d love you even more if you shared the video and passed it on so it helped create a tidal wave of improved in our collective operating basis.
Thanks in advance.

Do Not Destroy The Nuclear Family
The best guarantee of a strong, sane society is a strong, capable, ethical. intelligent and productive individual.
The second best guarantee of a sane society is a stable family unit.
He (she) who would destroy the family would destroy the society. He (she) who would destroy the society is an insane and evil person who needs to be labelled such and quarantined, not promoted.
It’s high time for a global ban on bee-killing pesticides
The European Commission is poised to propose a game-changing law to protect bees and other pollinators. The new ban on bee-killing pesticides would go far beyond current protections, banning three deadly neonics from fields all across Europe.
But these crucial bee-protecting laws aren’t guaranteed to become reality. A small group of politicians is trying to block them before EU member states even get to vote on the regulations.
Meanwhile, a scathing new UN report called the idea that we need neonics to feed ourselves a “myth” perpetuated by “unethical” corporations like Bayer and Syngenta that have millions in profits riding on continued reliance on bee-killing pesticides.

Contentment by Robert Service
An Ancient gaffer (old man) once I knew,
Who puffed a pipe and tossed a tankard;
He claimed a hundred years or two,
And for a dozen more he hankered;
So o’er a pint I asked how he
Had kept his timbers tight together;
He grinned and answered: “It maun (variant of must) be
Because I likes all kinds o’ weather.
“Fore every morn when I get up
I lights my clay pipe wi’ a cinder,
And as me mug o’ tea I sup
I looks from out the cottage winder;
And if it’s shade or if it’s shine
Or wind or snow befit to freeze me,
I always say: ‘Well, now that’s fine . . .
It’s just the sorto’ day to please me.’
“For I have found it wise in life
To take the luck the way it’s coming;
A wake, a worry or a wife –
Just carry on and keep a-humming.
And so I lights me pipe o’ clay,
And through the morn on blizzard borders,
I chuckle in me guts and say:
‘It’s just the day the doctor orders.'”
A mighty good philosophy
Thought I, and leads to longer living,
To make the best of things that be,
And take the weather of God’s giving;
So though the sky be ashen grey,
And winds be edged and sleet be slanting,
Heap faggots on the fire and say:
“It’s just the kind of day I’m wanting.”
Small Acts, When Multiplied, Can Change The World
This is the truth!
