+opalsns Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) COINTEST I feel like a little cointest, so here goes ............... I have just finished makng 9 of the Wooden Nickels pictured here. Each one is numbered on the back ... .... #001 to #009. Post a thought for the Today, or the rest of it. I will pick the 9 that I like the best and send a Thoughtful Penny Wooden Nickel to the ones I choose. These nickels have been already packaged to mail out so I don't know which number is in which envelope. Once you recieve your wooden Nickel, post here that you have recieved it . DON'T post which number you have.. Once all nickels have been recieved and posted, I will do a Random Number Drawing from #001 to #009 . The person that has that number on their wooden nickel WINS a - TRAVELING 2 CENTS Geocoin -. 1 post per person No editing If two people post the same thought, the first to post it, gets it. My Cointest My Rules think that's it so ..... ....Start Posting Now !!!! Edited May 20, 2009 by opalsns Quote Link to comment
+Howlingmoon Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Sounds like a cool cointest! Here's my thought for the day. I try to live by it every day. grins "Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can put off 'til next week." Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Here's my thought du jour: Why is a building called a 'building'. Once construction is finished, shouldn't it be called a 'built'? Quote Link to comment

+Sparticus06 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Nothing good for this world is ever attained without sacrifice. Nothing great in life is ever achieved without hard work. Nothing that we give to others, out of the goodness of our heart, is ever given without giving away a small piece of ourselves. Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I had posted a thought some days ago in the wooden nickel thread, but here I will post the things I am following in my life! Sorry if they are actually 2 thoughts, but I will combine them! these are for today and every day for the rest of your life!!! "Never do things to othrs that you wouldn't like others to do to you! No matter what others did to you, always remember: Anger and hate makes you human, but forgiveness makes you great and brings you closer to God!" Quote Link to comment

+SgtMikal Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I absolutely LOVE this cointest!! What a wonderful way to spread positivity! Thanx for starting this! And it is such a neat idea, too! OK...here goes... "Where there's a shadow, there's a light." That is a line out of a song by Petra, intended to remind the listeners (or readers in this case) that wherever you are experiencing trouble, someone is there to help. Along the lines of the main thought in the Footprints poem - "During your times of trial and suffering when you saw only one set of footprints...That was when I carried you." Quote Link to comment

+Team CeDo Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thought for the day. If you can start the day without caffeine If you can get going without pep pills If you can always be cheerful ignoring aches and pains If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when through no fault of yours something goes wrong If you can take criticism and blame without resentment If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend If you can face the world without lies and deceit If you can conquer tension without medical help If you can relax without liquor If you can sleep without the aid of drugs .....Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

+sweetlife Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Here is one me and my husband only had on our profile when we met online and we still swear by it. <H2 class=articleSubtitle>It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone; but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don’t go for looks; they can be deceiving. Don’t go for wealth, for even wealth fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a little smile to brighten your day.</H2> Thanks for the cointest, lovely little token. Quote Link to comment
