yeah...
...but ya' gotta' luv the Flip-Side...
...the ability to give you Positive Reenforcement
and the Sense of Empowerment by Adding More Time to Your 'Ticker'.

For the first time, rather than 'living on borrowed time'
you could be taking steps 'To Buy Yourself More Time'

That reminds me of an old song:


Why Murphy's Not At Work Today

Dear sir;
I write this note to you to tell you of me plight
For at the time of writing, I am not a pretty sight.
Me body is all black and blue, me face a deathly grey,
And I write this note to say why Murphy's not at work today.

While working on the fourteenth floor, some bricks I had to clear.
But to toss them down from such a height was not a good idea.
The foreman wasn't very pleased, he is an awkward sod.
He said I'd have to cart them down the ladders in me hod.

Now shifting all those bricks by hand, it was so very slow
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured a rope below.
But in me haste to do the job I was too blind to see
That a barrel full of building bricks was heavier than me.

And so when I untied the rope, the barrel fell like lead
And clinging tightly to the rope, I started up instead.
I shot up like a rocket 'till to my dismay I found
That halfway up I met the bloody barrel coming down.

Now, the barrel broke me shoulder as to the ground it sped
And when I reached the top I banged the pulley with me head.
I clung on tightly numb with shock from this almighty blow
And the barrel spilt out half the bricks from fourteen floors below.

Now, when these bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floor,
I then outweighed the barrel and so started down once more.
Still clinging tightly to the rope, me body racked with pain,
And halfway down I met the bloody barrel once again.

Now, the force of this collision halfway down the office block
Caused multiple abrasions and a nasty state of shock.
Still clinging tightly to the rope, I fell toward the ground
And I landed on the broken bricks the barrel had scattered 'round.

I lay there groaning on the ground, I thought I'd passed the worst
But the barrel hit the pulley wheel and then the bottom burst.
A shower of bricks rained down on me, I didn't have a hope.
As I lay there bleeding on the ground, I let go the bloody rope.

The barrel then being heavier, it started down once more
And it landed right across me as I lay there on the floor.
It broke three ribs and my left arm and I can only say
I hope you'll understand why Murphy's not at work today.
