Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| What you must do, what you need to do, what you can do, so many choices. One of the
things that is demanded of you is to access your situation and set priorities for
your self. No one can do that for you but without some order and realisation of what
is truly important you are destine to bump along reacting rather than acting. |

Burial, TV station WKMG from Florida carried this unusual story from Norwood

 n search of breakfast
- Friday
October 3, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire

people have had their world seriously upset so it is the editor's quest to find a
place to fill the bill for a weekly breakfast, or a daily one for that matter. This
story reviews Chicken Delight's breakfast and the "farmer's" breakfast
at A&W.

of the implications.

 The Race to the Bottom of the Free Market- Thursday
October 2, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It seems that to increase profits, the goal
of business, is resulting in a never ending search for lower and lower wages that
increases the widening gap between extreme wealth and extreme poverty, world wide.
To add to this exaggerated devolution the United States has reintroduced warfare
as a business strategy.
