Kids Say the Darndest Things
Ol'WDB

A first grade teacher collected well known proverbs. She gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. Their insight may surprise you.

Better to be safe than

Punch a 5th grader

Strike while the

Bug is close

It's always darkest before

Daylight Savings Time

Never underestimate the power of

Termites

You can lead a horse to water but

how?

Don't bite the hand that

looks dirty

No news is

impossible

A miss is as good as a

Mr.

You can't teach an old dog new

math

If you lie down with dogs, you'll

stink in the morning

Love all, trust

me

The pen is mightier than the

pigs

An idle mind is

The best way to relax

Where there's smoke there's

pollution

Happy the bride who

gets all the presents

A penny saved is

not much

Two's company, three's

the Musketeers

Don't put off till tomorrow what

you put on to go to bed

Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and

you have to blow our nose

None are so blind as

Stevie Wonder

Children should be seen and not

spanked or grounded

If at first you don't succeed

get new batteries

You get out of something what you

see pictured on the box

When the blind leadeth the blind

get out of the way

And the favorite.....

Better late than

pregnant

What: FidoNet NET124

Where: http://www.startext.net/np/net124/ [faulty URL [jb 4/25/01]]

Net124 is in Dallas, Tx. That's pretty obvious from the "skyline" scene and link button to "Dallas, TX USA". :) Below the Dallas skyline are links telling about Fidonet, Fidonet History and such. In the sale list of links are some things I really like. I'll just take them in order of appearance. :)

People:
Do you ever wonder who some of the people in Fidonet are, what they look like and such? Here you will see some of the current and past members of Net124. Yes, I'm in there as well as the R19C. :-)

Current Dallas Nodes:
Yup, it's a list of the Nodes in Net124. The list is generated by a program written, if I'm not mistaken, by Net124's Paul Lentz.

Next is a link to "Information about joining FidoNet". This is a good overview of what it takes to join Fidonet.

Under this link are links to:

• Our Friends in NET130's WEB Page
• Our Friends in NET393's WEB Page
• R19 WEB Page
• Collin County Station BBS WEB Page

This is a nice gesture in that Net130 and 393 are close to Net124 and share some local echos. The R19 page was reviewed last week and I thank Paul for getting the new link up on the Net124 page. Of course, My little page is in there as well. :)

Now, move on down and you'll find the "Fidonet dog with diskette". Click on the dog and, if you have a sound card, you should hear something. :)

Ok, that's the site. I like it and there is some good information in there. Check it out.
