Full and Filled! By Gall Dad left the laptop out the other evening … well, it might have been in the middle of the night, and … yeah, I might have wandered back to the office (I mean ... Merritt gets in the bed and Bubba sleeps next to it ... why shouldn't I be allowed in the office?); but, anyway, the laptop was powered on … well, plugged in anyway --- anyhow, he had this site pulled up and I was curious as to what the latest reading material was and I started browsing it. I had just started to get the gist of the article when I was startled by a frightening noise, so I quickly shut the laptop back down and skedaddled back to the living room (but, in retrospect, I think that noise that I heard was just mom-D snoring!) In any event, I reckon that I read enough of the article to figure out the topic and am just going to fill in the rest of it through reductive reasoning (you can look it up ... I'm too tired from all of my midnight escapades to do all your research for you. Sorry!)! Hope you enjoy the article!! Five things about folks who are Full Of "It"! Yeah … you’ve seen ‘em … you know ‘em … some may even be your friends … you know ‘em when you see ‘em! Things about people that are full of it!!! Some of the bigger, common stuff among them is:
Hope it made more sense to you in reading it, than it did to me as I was writing it! Gall Editor’s Note: Gallsophine the Great really missed it on this one! She’s usually much more astute than this – and she KNOWS this subject material … heck, she can probably even teach it. I think that if she would have noticed who wrote the original article, that she would have had it all figured out - maybe she was just too tired?! Following is the original article.

You know them when you see them.
They’re those people who are always cheerful and smiling.
They’re the ones who rarely complain, and everything
they touch seems to turn to gold.
They’re successful yet humble, influential yet
compassionate.
And the thing is, that’s who they really are!
What you see is what you get, in public or behind
closed doors.

our lives a little more like they do?

Not only is their attitude toward money different, but
they’re actually able to live free of the bondage of bills,
payments, interest and collectors.
They can direct money toward other, bigger goals:
emergency savings, retirement, a house, college, and
generous giving.

because they have the money to hit back.

Broke people can’t be generous, though, because they have no
margin in their finances.

a plan for your life and take control of your money.

life isn’t far off.

Josh Billings Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons. Woody Allen A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon it adds up to real money. Senator Everett Dirksen My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to 99 cents a can. That's almost $7.00 in dog money. Joe Weinstein Whenever it is in any way possible, every boy and girl should choose as his life work some occupation which he should like to do anyhow, even if he did not need the money. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it. Henry David Thoreau The art of living easily as to money is to pitch your scale of living one degree below your means. Sir Henry Taylor The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor find much fun in life. Charles M. Schwab

digit–vestigial in some animals – on the
foot of many mammals, birds, and reptiles.
It commonly grows
high on the leg such that in digitigrade species, when the
animal is standing, it does not make contact with the
ground. On dogs a
dewclaw is on the inside of the leg,
positioned analogously to a human thumb. |
