Experience is a tough teacher. She gives the test first and the lesson afterward.
Fact of life: You can’t make someone love you.
If we thought twice about everything we say, perhaps we would only say half as much. [Ben Franklin]

Age doesn’t always bring wisdom.
Sometimes age comes alone.The real art of conversation is not only to say
the right thing at the right time,
but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing
at the tempting moment.Some folks are so busy falling for everything that they don’t stand up for anything.
Don’t try to be God. You’re not qualified, and the job’s already taken.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
The only way we can ever teach a child to say “I’m sorry” is for him to hear it from our lips first.

What is slapped cheek syndrome?
Question
About two years ago my son’s face swelled up and came out in a rash.
It is now happening again, but this time it is only on the left side of his face. He couldn’t see a doctor but was seen by the nurse, who said the common name for it was ‘Slap Face’. She called it by its full name but as I didn’t go with him I was unable to write it down.
Could you tell me what it is? She just said to take Calpol or paracetamol if his temperature goes up. He told me it feels numb, as if someone has punched him in the face.
Answer
This condition has several names. The common name is ‘slapped cheek syndrome’ because the cheeks are typically red and inflamed as if the face has been slapped hard. It is also known as Fifth’s disease, or Erythema infectiosum.
It is caused by a virus called Parvovirus B19. It is an acute illness, usually with only minor upset, a low-grade fever, and sometimes aches and pains in the limbs. It is common in children, and is spread by droplet infection into the lungs. The rash on the cheeks is often followed by a rash on the arms, legs and trunk. It is a mild illness and usually does not need any special treatment, just paracetamol if the child feels unwell. It usually gets better in about 5 days.
However, if a pregnant woman gets infected, the virus can cause problems in the unborn child, and in about 10 per cent of cases in mothers in early pregnancy, the baby does not survive. So it is important that any child thought to have Slapped Cheek Syndrome does not go near any woman who is known to be in early pregnancy
Ohhhhhhhhh did I forget to add,,,,,,Not for the weak at heart???
