hello,i will start my first post with a parable of heaven and hell, my wise grand mother told me this tale when i was wee and knee high to a spider. i have never forgotten it, and now it is yours to hold.

Was many a year a go when fred oleary the town drunk of county cork passed away.
oh how everyone in the town loved him, he was handsome and funny, and always had a candy in his pocket for each and every child that passed his way.
his wake was standing room only, and poured out to the streets of the center of town. a lovely send off did he have. it was the talk of the town for years to come..
Now when fred reached his hand to the angels to enter the kingdom of god, he heard " not so fast there freddy boy", "your drunkenness caused much distress and sadness for your family". "you gave candy to every child but your own "
"you loved women but liked none", "and your honesty in business was suspect at best". "So because you are a borderline decision you will be taken to hell for three days, and to heaven for three days, and if you can tell me the difference between the two, and you are correct, you may go directly to the peace of heaven"
Now fred who fully expected to see fire and brimstone in hell, was greatly surprised to see the most magnificent dining room he had ever seen. The table was full with the finest food and drink. Those who were seated at the table were dressed in the finest clothes, however they were quite thin.
when the meal commenced fred noticed that there were very long handled spoons tied to the wrists of each of those seated. The handles were so long that it was almosst impossible for the diners to get any food into their mouths, nor could they participate in the drink, the finest single malt whiskeys anyone could ask for.All just out of reach.
Immediately,Fred was wisked to heaven. The scene was the same, delicious food, finest drink and everyone was beautifully dressed. The diners we all full bodied and rosey cheeked. Fred also noticed that they too had very long spoons tied to their wrists. Yet they were happy. Why?

fred's response. " in hell they were trying in desparation to feed only themselves and failed, in heaven they were
using their spoons to feed eachother"

May we always feed eachother, with love.

oh, you are so welcome. thank you for reading it

i thank you as well

for still being here

thought the cyber monsters gobbled up yet another WonderFull place.
Getting here was not easy, but i guess , no goal worthwhile is.

Just wanted to say welcome back and HIIIIIII.

If there is anything that can be done to fix the ease of entrance to this site, I would like to help.
I do not have the skills to fix it myself, still dont know how to operate my VCR which somehow, in front of my very eyes, morphed into a blue ray machine and back into a DVD player, which I have no idea how to make the light go from red to green.

However have a spot of green buried in the back yard. I am willing to donate some of this green matter to whomever, so that CE can be seen by those who desire to Know a flake or two. Just kidding.

Please let me know how to help get us " right back where we belong"
with love to all of you

greetings adodili and so happy to see your hard work paid off and you got in the side door!

I just had a difficult time logging in, sometimes I can ...sometimes I can`t.

Not being computer savvy myself, I can`t fix it either so we are patiently waiting for WriteOn to pop on & fix us up

I enjoyed your story as well!
