A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-five students in her class.  She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.  It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders.  Their insight may surprise you.   While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds.

Don't change horses

until they stop running.

2.

Strike while the

bug is close.

It's always darkest before

Daylight Saving Time.

How?

impossible

8.

Mr.

9.

Math

10.

stink in the morning.

11.

Love all, trust

Me.

12.

The pen is mightier than the

pigs.

13.

An idle mind is

the best way to relax.

14.

Where there's smoke there's

pollution..

15.

Happy the bride who

gets all the presents.

16.

A penny saved is

not much.

17.

Two's company, three's

the Musketeers.

18.

Don't put off till tomorrow what

you put on to go to bed.

19.

Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and

You have to blow your nose.

20.

There are none so blind as

Stevie Wonder.

21.

Children should be seen and not

spanked or grounded.

22.

If at first you don't succeed

get new batteries.

23.

You get out of something only what you

See in the picture on the box

24.

When the blind lead the blind

get out of the way.

25.

A bird in the hand

is going to poop on you.

26.

A great mortgage.

Just the other day I was driving down the highway and happened to look at the speedometer. Exactly 55.

Right after passing exit #5, I went past a radar trap with 5 police cars. I was thinking, how lucky that I had checked the speedometer just moments previously.

A little later while listening to the car radio, they announced the daily number, 555.

Now I am thinking there is something today about the number 5. So, I went to the horse track and bet $55.00 on the 5th horse in the 5th race.

The son-of-a-gun came in fifth.

Would you like a way to keep track of all your email conversations by person? This is good for when you are emailing back and forth with a particular person over time, and then want to review all of your conversations to remember what you said.

In Outlook, find your title bar (From, Subject, Received, etc.). Right click anywhere in the title bar. Select “Conversations” and drag Conversations to the title bar. By default, clicking Conversations in the title bar will sort your emails by Subject.

Then, right click “Conversations” that is now in your title bar and select “Arrange By”. Select “From” in the Arrange By menu. You are finished. Anytime you want to see all of your email threads for each person click Conversations in the Title bar to sort by person.
