His Name Was Fleming, And He Was A Poor Scottish Farmer.
One Day, While Trying To Make A Living For His Family, He Heard A
Cry For Help Coming From A Nearby Bog.
He Dropped His Tools And Ran To The Bog.
There Mired To His Waist In Black Muck, Was A Terrified Boy, Screaming
And Struggling To Free Himself.
Farmer Fleming Saved The Lad From What Could Have Been A Slow And
Terrifying Death.
The Next Day, A Fancy Carriage Pulled Up To The Scotsman's Sparse
Surroundings.
An Elegantly, Dressed Nobleman Stepped Out And Introduced Himself
As The Father Of The Boy Farmer Fleming Had Saved.
" I Want To Repay You, " Said The Nobleman, " You Saved My Son's Life. "
" No, I Can't Accept Payment For What I Did, " The Scotish Farmer Replied
Waving Off The Offer.
At That Moment, The Farmer's Own Son Came To The Door Of The Family Hovel.
" Is That Your Son " ? The Nobelman Asked.
" Yes, " The Farmer Replied Proudly.
" I'll Make You A Deal.
Let Me Provide Him With The Level Of Education My Own Son Will Enjoy If
The Lad Is Anything Like His Father, He'll No Doubt Grow To Be A Man We
Both Will Be Proud Of. "
And He Did.
Farmer Fleming's Son Attended The Very Best Schools And In Time,
Graduated From St. Mary's Hospital Medical School In London, And Went
On To Became Known Throughtout The World As The Noted Sir Alexander
Fleming, The Discover Of Penicillin.
Years Afterward, The Same Nobleman's Son Who Was Saved From The
Bog Was Stricken With Pneumonia.
What Saved His Life This Time ? - Penicillin.
The Name Of The Nobleman ? Lord Randolph Churchill. . .His Son's Name ?
Sir Winston Churchill.
Someone Once Said: What Goes Around Comes Around.
Work Like You Don't Need The Money.
Love Like You've Never Been Hurt.
Dance Like Nobody's Watching.
Sing Like Nobody's Listening.
Live Like it's Heaven On Earth.
AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH:
I Hope It Works....
May There Always Be Work For Your Hands To Do;
May Your Purse Always Hold A Coin or Two;
May The Sun Always Shine On Your Windowpane;
May A Rainbow Be Certain To Follow Each Rain;
May The Hand Of A Friend Always Be Near You;
May God Fill Your Heart With Gladness To Cheer You.
And May You Be In Heaven A Half Hour Before The Devil Knows You're Dead...

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
