While I was snagging that video, one of my all time favorite clips appeared, so I decided to share it and two others with you again - probably for at least the third time:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlgSz8sSM&feature=fvw - Charlie bit my finger - again ! - same great video, with added disclaimer from their mum
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dXGj_-orxw - He kicked him; he was injured
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAYWPV3F41Y&NR=1 - What to do when the monster comes out of the movie to kick you
From http://www.SelfGrowth.com - 07/27/09 - "Fun":
Remember to PLAY - By Donna Price
Take Care of Yourself: I love this lesson because it so central to each of us
and our success. We cannot be successful when we don't take care of ourselves.
And playing, for me, is an essential component. We all know this and yet somehow
the time gets away or other things become the priority. Think back to your
childhood and the things you loved to do. We ran through the woods, building
"forts," played kickball with all the neighbors, and did lots of biking. I loved
biking and stopped when I went off to college. Ten years ago, I rediscovered
biking. It felt familiar and like I was home. As a teenager I biked everywhere:
to visit friends, go the "mall," and did a week of touring. We didn't think
anything of riding 50 miles.
When I found biking again, I also found imagination, adventure, freedom, and
joy. I joined a bike club, started riding several times per week and planned a
cross country tour. The next year I led a small group from Maine to Oregon, and
found a free spirit.
Now, ten years later, I play in a new way, with a one-year-old and
four-year-old. We make sand castles, mud pies, fly kites, color, and build
airplanes out of boxes with toilet paper rolls for wheels and stickers
decorating the outside. It's a wonderful sense of play and also familiar.
Memories are rekindled of fond childhood moments, and I hope I am part of making
future fond memories. The challenge as a parent and small business owner is to
do the things I love to do as an adult.
Recently a colleague read my profile on my website and said, "Wow, you like to
do so many things -- kayak, bike, run, climb," and it's true I do love these
things. Day-to-day life sure does take over sometimes. How do we bring play into
our lives, and what are the benefits? In the play of childhood, there was a
feeling of openness, adventure, and lightness. When we bring these qualities
into our lives regularly, it lightens our approach to people, to work, to our
day-to-day demands of life. That's the benefit.
I include play, with intention, as part of my best year yet plan. It keeps me
focused and including it in my life. And as a benefit, I find new energy, new
commitment, and a lighter, happier attitude.
Try a few new things this month:
* Take a trip to the toy store and buy a toy -- legos, blocks, crayons.
* Visit a playful place -- the zoo, the beach, a carousel.
* Do an activity that gave you joy as child.
* Plan a day to play and do your favorite things; note how you feel the
following days.
* Make play part of your life, regularly.
Take care of yourself and play!

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes.com - 07/27/09:
Chatty Parrot
An elderly
woman was looking for a pet to be a good companion and not much trouble. The pet
store owner suggested a parrot, showed it to her and guaranteed her it would be
a wonderful companion.
The woman asked if it would behave if she took it to church with her on Sundays.
The owner said it shouldn't be a problem and that she could put him on her
shoulder and he would stay there. She bought the parrot and for the next week
spent time getting to know him.
Assured that he spoke properly and was well behaved, she put him on her shoulder
and went off to church. Just as everyone quieted down and the sermon began, the
parrot looked around, squawked and said, "It's gosh darned cold in here!"
Everyone turned to look at her and she ran out of the church in total
embarrassment! All the next week, she talked to the parrot explaining the
necessity to remain quiet during church. The parrot understood so she put him on
her shoulder and went to church the following Sunday.
Once again, just as everything got quiet and the sermon began, the parrot
squawked, looked around and loudly proclaimed, "It's gosh darned cold in here!!"
And again the woman ran from the church. The next day she returned to the pet
store and explained the embarrassing situation to the owner. Since she didn't
want to get rid of the parrot, the owner offered the following solution:
If the parrot does that again, grab him by the legs and swing him around 5 or 6
times and return him to your shoulder."
"That'll work?" asked the woman.
"Guaranteed!" exclaimed the owner.
So, the next Sunday she took the parrot to church and, sure enough, just as the
sermon started, the parrot squawked, "It's gosh darned cold in here!!" Without
any hesitation, the woman grabbed his legs, swung him around 5 or 6 times and
placed him back on her shoulder.
The parrot shook his head, ruffled his feathers and said, "Pretty freakin'
windy, too!"
