"To Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross,
I hope your strength and courage have
carried you to freedom among the stars!
"Her book 'On Death and Dying' was one of the most
influential things I read while in nursing school. Her
observations and teachings helped me develop ways of
working with dying people and their families in a
'human way' as much as possible in a hospital
environment..."
Manager's Corner
"Sharing!"
Hi all..
"Shared Pain is Lessened,
Shared Joy is Increased."
Spider wasn't the first to say so either. But at Callahans
we take Spider's stories and try to breathe real life into
them. Sharing our thoughts and feelings, our outlooks and
ourselves is an important part of what Callahans on
DelphiForums is.
We share on the board, of course - and in all our various
folders. And that means we share in the R.I.P. folder, too.
Some patrons may be getting tired of hearing me talk about
R.I.P. but it's important to me that we all
appreciate the value and potential of the folder.
It helps us share.
It helps all of us share.
I've spoken of other aspects of R.I.P. but sharing is as
important as anything else we value about it. For some
patrons, Callahans in general may be the only contact they
can deal with in life. And a kind place like the R.I.P.
folder may be the only place they dare share their
views about life.. and about life's issues.
We have made friends with people at Callahans who have said
this to us. And we very much want Callahans to remain a
place where all people are made welcome. We need to be kind
in Callahans - and in R.I.P. We need to listen as people
share. We need to understand each other better.
And we need your help in all these things.

Joke of The Month
A man ran into his doctor's office with a carrot in one
ear, a cucumber in the other and a banana up his nose.
"Doc!" he screamed, "What's happening
with me????"
The doctor replied:
"You're not eating right."

Pun of the Month
Did you hear the one about the woman who caught her husband
making a toupee out of a rabbit pelt?
She asked him how far he would really go to hide his bald
spot. He replied,

Poem of the Month -
"Orion Rising"
I saw Orion rising
The morning after I heard
That you had left us
I heard the stars sing
In a voice so like yours
"Remember me" they said
As if I could forget.
Did you see Orion rising
Before you left this world?
Did the stars sing to you
As your spirit flew away?
I see Orion rising
And I remember you
I hear the stars sing
In a voice so like yours.

Closing Quote
"
What I have known with respect to myself, has tended
much to lessen both my admiration, and my contempt,
of others."

Editor's Note
We hope you find the Bar Rag entertaining and informative.
We can always use good pieces and writers here. If you
have something you would like to submit, or have a comment,
good or bad, about the newsletter, simply send us a note.
And a reminder: we urge everyone to use
our website as a gateway into Callahans on Delphi
Forums. You will find prominent links to our Message
Board and Conference rooms there but also if we ever
have technical trouble at Delphi, we can easily let
you know and redirect you to a backup site if
the trouble is truly serious. And besides - our website
itself is special..:)
