Subj: Stress Test 
Date: 7/3/2003 8:36:16 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From: newacct1088254 (  Boom Boom )
To: Ben517

It's a simple test designed to indicate whether people have too much stress in their life.

It's a picture of two dolphins. The two dolphins appear normal when viewed by a stress-free individual. This test is not accurate enough to pick up mild stress levels.

It's quite simple. If there is anything that appears different about the dolphins (ignore the fact of the slight color differences) it is often an indication of potential stress related problems. Differences, if any, may also indicate the source of your stress.

Sit upright and viewing the screen head-on, take a deep breath, breathe out and then open the picture and look directly at it.

If there is anything out of the ordinary then you should consider taking things a little easier.

Judging by recent missles from Boom Boom,I thought he was getting a little uptight.-Ben

The
following is an extract from an 1989 issue of the Static Line column written by Tom Cross.It concerns Colonel Graves and it is an extract from a 1944 Thunderbolt.

("At the ceremony last week they presented me with a medal, unearned
that as far as any gallantry.There are hundreds in the Combat Team who have been exposed to more fire and were not as scared as I was.This medal was given to me by higher headquarters for the splendid manner in which the men and officers of the Combat Team performed their missions during the past operation. That is the way I will always regard this medal."). Comment  : Col Graves did earn the Silver Star Medal. His humor combined with his humility is the mark of a truly great leader.

"There's people there (in Iraq) that would like to run us out of there,
create the conditions where we get nervous and decide to leave.  We're not
going to get nervous, and we're not leaving until we accomplish the task."

- President George Bush, 7/2/03
