[Steppes] Living in the Past....Could you really do it??

[Michelle Dodd]

Don't forget hot water showers instead of a lukewarm barrel of water that is 
dirty from the five or six or ten other people that have used it before you 
(and who knows what they had on their skin, dirt or disease wise). And I 
personally am very thankful for Mr. Crapper and his wonderful invention of 
the flush toilet.

Celebrate who you are. After all, you can't be anyone else.

A friend comes and bails you out of jail - a True Friend is sitting next to 
you in the cell going, "Wow, that was fun!"

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
