Your Mental Attitude - Cornerstone

Waste of time is one of the most costly ex­penses on life’s ledger . . .
it can never be reimbursed.

Thousands of people would never have expe­rienced the bitterness and helplessness
of want if they had not first been guilty of WASTE.

There is a constant dissipation of thought and feeling, just as there is of physical energies. Each in turn exacts its heavy toll from us.

Dissipation of thought and feeling proves wasteful and ruinous to the mind and heart
the same process is equally as destructive to health and strength of the body.

As one man puts it: “Dreamy revelries, desul­tory reading, unregulated and scattering thought, plans formed without reason, or never carried out to wise results, are as truly dissipation of the soul as the wildest revelries and indulgences are of the body.”

Waste produces decay, stagnation, barrenness,
unproductivity, lack, ruin, destruction, want.

Wasting time on the job or money from our savings doesn’t make much difference…
both have the same end result.

Squandering or wasting time can never be accurately tabulated for us, but most of us are keenly aware of how destructive it can be and how terrifically costly.

YOU can do something about it by develop­ing the habit of thrift. By substituting thrift for waste, you will have made an extremely valuable forward step.

Cultivate this important thrift habit in all things . . . be saving of your time .. . on the job or off . . . saving of materials and equip­ment . . . on the job or off . . . thrifty with physical energies . . . thrifty with unregulated and scattered thinking. .

It will pay YOU big dividends in all direc­tions to cultivate this all-important habit of being thrifty with your time, energy, thoughts and material possessions. Learn to be careful in avoiding waste or dissipation in the small things and the larger ones will automatically fall into the same pattern.

It is entirely up to YOU during each day to calculate and control WHAT PRICE you want to pay for WASTE. We never fail because we are too thrifty in safeguarding our time, thoughts or physical energies . . . but because we are not thrifty enough.

Cody has only shot one rifle...yesterday at this expo we went to. He missed the target, but he came away smiling like a cheshire cat. :D

He gets to go to the Junior NRA and watch his sister shoot and hear the instruction the members are given.

Those gun cases would work just fine! Thank you for mentioning that. I often forget that there are things like that available.

I want to get a shotgun because I am going to have to compete against Crys this summer, and I would like to get some practice. :)

[TASMANIANRED]

Smooch Ms. b.

What's this stuff about flocking around?

[La Enchiladita]

That's wonderful, HiJinx.
I wish her the very best.

[HiJinx]

Very good.

You're going to have such fun!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I don't like the shotgun..
I'm so small, it's all I can do to remain standing when it's fired!
LOL
Jake is ALOT of dawg..
95 lbs worth...
Like I said..
He's keep an intruder real busy while I'm reloading!
I understand your concern about Cody..
I have no little ones here..
Ms.B

[MS.BEHAVIN]

HI!!!!
SMOOCH!
It's freshly falling snow, Sis!
Ms.B

[HiJinx]

Thanks!

That means a lot.

We're very much like a family here in the Canteen, and it's times like this when I'm reminded of that.

We'll keep everyone up to date...

[trussell]

I hope I'm not embarrassed...Crys is learning really well. She graduated from sandbags to prone friday.

[trussell]

I use to have a big dog too...she was 3/4 coyote, 1/4 Australian Shephard. She was a beautiful dog...and a great protector. She lived to be 15 and died of liver failure. She is still missed 4 years later.

[HiJinx]

What's to be embarrassed about?
My boys both outshoot me with their shotguns...
I outshoot them with a rifle.
But we always have fun.

Ask Ms. B about shooting clays with the guys! LOL!!

[TASMANIANRED]

Just razzing you Sis.

There is an old joke .

Canarial disease, you catch from flocking around: Chirpies.


Nurse humor.

Sick..Humor noir.

[HiJinx]

That's a good one, for humore noir...

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Well..

I TRIED hard, Jinxy!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Your ESP must be working tonight..
I was looking for those photos even before I read your post!
LOL
Ms.B

[trussell]

I prefer handguns...Crys is content with the rifles so far. She asked if she could shoot one round from my 44 today. I let her, but I had my hands over hers.

She's a good little helper...she chased my casings as they flew from the 45 :)

Ok Ms.B, I'm asking about shooting clays with the guys :)
Tell me about it.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I'm happy to see you!
How was your day?
Smooch
Ms.B

[HiJinx]

Yes you did...that gun's almost as long as you are tall, Lady!

Get Mr. B to get you a Youth/Women's model 20 guage pump. Both of my boys started on those, and Piper's Daddy still uses his. He has a choice of shotguns, and still prefers the smaller one...and always brings in his limit of doves or quail.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

See post 574..
Ms.B

[trussell]

Does he have his hand behind you to keep it from knocking you over? :D
