When I was in junior high, the eighth-grade bully punched me in the stomach. Not only did it hurt and make me angry, wow gold but the embarrassment and humiliation were almost intolerable. I wanted desperately to even the score! I planned to meet him by the bike racks the next day and let him have it. For some reason, I told my plan to Nana, my grandmother -- big mistake. She gave me one of her hour-long lectures (that woman could really talk). wow power leveling The lecture was a total drag, but among other things, I vaguely remember her telling me that I didn¡¯t need to worry about him. She said, ¡°Good deeds beget good results, and evil deeds beget bad results.¡± I told her, in a nice way, of course, that I thought she was full of it. I told her that I did good things all the time, and all I got in return was ¡°baloney!¡± (I didn¡¯t use that word.) She stuck to her guns, though. She said, ¡°Every good deed will come back to you someday, and every bad thing you do will also come back to you.¡± It took me 30 years to understand the wisdom of her words. Nana was living in a board-and-care home in Laguna Hills, California. Each Tuesday, wow power leveling I came by and took her out to dinner. I would always find her neatly dressed and sitting in a chair right by the front door. I vividly remember our very last dinner together before she went into the convalescent hospital. We drove to a nearby simple little family-owned restaurant. I ordered pot roast for Nana and a hamburger for myself. The food arrived and as I dug in, I noticed that Nana wasn¡¯t eating. She was just staring at the food on her plate. wow power leveling Moving my plate aside, I took Nana¡¯s plate, placed it in front of me, and cut her meat into small pieces. I then placed the plate back in front of her. As she very weakly, and with great difficulty, forked the meat into her mouth, I was struck with a memory that brought instant tears to my eyes. Forty years previously, as a little boy sitting at the table. wow gold Nana had always taken the meat on my plate and cut it into small pieces so I could eat it. It had taken 40 years, but the good deed had been repaid. Nana was right. We reap exactly what we sow. ¡°Every good deed you do wow gold will someday come back to you.¡± What about the eighth-grade bully?

Is this some kind of subliminal message type advertisement?
I don't get the story though. Does he want credit for cutting up his grandma's pot roast? My granny had the Alzheimers but that was one thing she never forgot how to do was eat. What is Power Levelling? I hope whoever wrote that Dies.

I'm sorry, Jimmi June, But I Agree With Pearls . Some times, you can sew really good things & still get crappy ones. And some people are always sewing mean things, but they still get lucky. or win the lottery, or some thing. and other people, who isnt mean, gets cancer. Why? I do not know, the answer. to this eternal question. Also, I argee, how do you forget how to eat? That seems un likely. you could just eat some thing else. beside pot roast. but I think your porbably right about neil, & the laughfter. THat is one thing, that is always good. To laugh. To bring the joy to others.

I looked up some jokes on sewing and here is what I found...thanks
A very modest lady applied for a job at the factory where they made "Tickle me Elmo dolls". It was Friday and almost quitting time and hurriedly the boss told her to report for work on Monday. He quickly explained to her that she would be stationed on the assembly line just before the dolls were packed into boxes. On Monday they started up the line and within twenty minutes had to shut it down because one worker couldn't keep up. The boss went down the line to find the problem. The new employee was very busy trying to do her part but she had a bunch of dolls waiting for her. Closer examination showed that she was sewing little cloth bags containing two walnuts in the appropriate place on the dolls. The boss could not control his laughter and said, "Lady, I said to give each doll Two----Test----Tickles."

I agree. Those jerks will make you wish there was a hell, for them to stew in and suffer for eternity, but they probably already have their own hell on earth. Look at them. They are not happy. If they were, they wouldn't act like that.
