HUMILITY
Sometime when you're feeling important.
Sometime when your ego is in bloom.
Sometime when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified one in the room.
Sometime when you feel your going
Would leave an unfillable hole
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how they humble your soul.
Take a bucket and fill it with water.
Put your hands in up to your wrists,
Pull them out - and the hole that remains
Is the measure that you will be missed.
You may stir all you please when you enter!
You may splash up the water galore!
But stop - and you'll find in a minute
That it looks just the same as before.
The moral of this is quite simple
Do just the best that you can
Be proud of yourself but, remember,
"There is no Indispensable Man"
Or Woman come to that ......... I'm sure we all know people who could do with a little dose of humility every so often

Nice one Anna.
Thanks Peajay :)
I was at a committee meeting last night and there were a couple of people there who could have done with a 'dose of humility'!!
Jobsworths!! :)
But that's why they joined a committee. Without that they could only inflict this on there work colleagues or family. :)
My weather pixie says its raining ... but its not here ..... maybe we'll get some later :)
Mine did that earlier they're about as reliable as Michael Fish. Apparently it's been pouring all day in sunny Herts.
hello, found ya!! ;)
nice Anna! :)
ooh, death by committee, or beaurocracy....s.l.o.w.d.e.a.t.h......... :D
well, depending who wins the Scots vote, and then they vote the Indep. thru... ya'll are gonna need a passport for your Highland holidays, right???!!
Sorry, I just find this intriging. Growing up, I always heard all positives about the Union, Britain, the monarchy...but never anything else (and there's always another side to every coin). They wanted so much to paint a pretty picture for me, and share their memories/upbringing, so that I would influenced by it.
Will chat with ya later...sorry for my written reminisce! :)
Mmmmm, you guys complain about committees, but it's like a Woman's Guild meeting in here.......I'm off..........
Come off it .... AJ... you know you enjoy the gossip as much as we do :D
I thought I'd change my weather pixie to a weather goth instead..... :D
Anna!!! the weather the Goth...that's classic...made me laugh out loud!!!
Happy to oblige .. Melanie... I thought she was quite attractive for a Goth!! :D
Actually, I've probably already told you this but one of my nieces is a Goth and she has some very sexy outfits!! ;) Very vampish and Morticia like stuff :)
She goes to places as far afield as Camden Market in London and Aberdeen (we've got relations there) ....which has some good 'Goth' shops!! She has got some really nice stuff and some of it is very expensive!!
Hmmmmm...agree about the Goth female gear!!!:P
Looks like Weather Goth thinks its snowing here (?)..... or does that mean its overcast.. which it is!!
:(
Ever wanted to dress up as a Goth AJ?
I'm not sure I'd get into Goth knickers!!
Do you have a range of gear Anna?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
No... I don't... but my aforesaid niece has some strange stuff. A long metal thing which goes over the finger and has a long lethal looking metal nail on the end!! KK loved it, I had to take it off him last time we were there, as she was at work and he had gone into her room for a 'look' and was fascinated by some of the stuff!! :D
She also has a very sharp and dangerous looking spiky bracelet and a dog collar like thing!! I know it sounds odd but she is an attractive girl and she does look good when she gets dressed up!!
Did I mention she was a drama student? Sort of explains it..... no offence to Mrs AJ, either, but she is also a veggie and into animal rights as well!!
Lovely girl tho' and very kind-hearted..... she often babysits for KK and he adores her!!
Hope he doesn't turn into a Goth when he's older tho'!!!! :D
Decided to change the Weather Goth.. she never did anything .. just took her cloak on and off.. and it was hot today :)
I can't believe the difference in clothing for only 2 degrees less. Mine must be a Newcastle gal compared to yours Anna, she's only ever been out in her crop top and jeans despite it being only 11 degrees. Yours gets her thermal coat out for 9 degrees. :)
Yes, Peajay.... I've noticed that yours likes to strip off a bit!! :D
She seems to be a Mary fae Metilhill type of girl ;)
Melanie's flapper is very dressed still and its boiling hot in Calif... she should be wearing a bikini or whatever they wore in the 20s !! :D
Blimey my weather pixie has some nice gear .. when she strips off :)
Flowery leggings!! :D
Anna, Peajay...I'm jealous, your weather pixies are 'little hotties' as someone else would say...my first was too plain...(I was going for the 'layed back' Calif look), and the flapper just changes two dresses with an occasional poodle at her side...I may have to look for a third choice!!!
I quite like the poodle tho' Melanie.. and yours is very elegant!! :D
Yes but does a poodle make up for the fact that dressed like that in those temperatures, she must be perspiring acutely? :D
Anna,
you would like the winters here...they're lovely!!!! My favorite time of year here is Nov thru the end of Feb!! We'd love to have you visit if you're ever our way!! :D
Well, I'm undecided about the weather pixie...I think you two have snatched up the best ones!!!!
I'll let you into a secret Melanie.... I like Peajay's best that's why I keep criticising her attire.... I'm jealous!! :D
Would love to visit Calif ... Melanie... how exciting would that be?
You're welcome here as well of course if you're ever over visiting the family :)
Decided to change the Pixie... i'm bored with that one already.... not enough changes of clothes...
I've gone for one like Peajays (copycat!!) but with blonde hair and different coloured pyjamas !! :D
She'll be a floozy just like mine! :)
She is a floozy ... Peajay..... she looks a bit like a young Bet Lynch.. (wonder if she's got any leopard skin)!!
But, she's a lot more interesting than the other ones!!
Its like playing with Barbies watching them change their clothes!! :D
Alright, I went with the ginger floozy, and I found a weather station at the AFB nearby that has humidity listed as well!!
The flapper was ok, just a bit boring, and I'm not a 'poodle' person!! ;)
It now looks like we each have a member of the Spice Girls. I've got sporty, Mel's got ginger, and Anna's got baby. That only leaves AJ to find himself a bit of Posh! :D
What is my pixie playing at? She's got her jammies on and its raining here!!
Where's her brolly? :)
Nice jammies though. These young gals are so fickle these days they all wear 'not a lot' risking chest colds, kidney problems and bunions. You worry for them in later life! :D
These weather pixies must be Geordies!!!
I think you're right AJ.... its against their religion to wear a coat or jacket ... when the lassies go out on the town in canny Newcassel :)
She's got a brolly up today - it is raining.... but she's still wearing her jammies.....
What a hussy!! :D
Ooh mine has got changed out of her jimmie-jammies.... she's got a red dress on and a black shrug.... very co-ordinated!! :))
Wonder where she's off to ? :D
Hiya sexy pants,
Thought I'd drop in and test some lines!!!
Here goes :-
Is that a ladder in your tights darling, or is it a stairway to heaven??!!
Since I'm the "biggest flirt on the Scotsman", I thought I'd give you a thrill!!!:D
OK....I'll get ma coat..........
Hilarious.... honey chile ;)
I've heard worse .... not much worse... but some!! :D
