Deremiah *cpe's Achilles Heel

Posted by Anonymous on 750 Points
A little birdie told me that Deremiah has just undergone an operation to fix a torn achilles heel. Ouch! It turns out that no-one has signed the cast he's wearing on his leg and foot...yet!

What would you write on his cast? A neat marketing message? A slick slogan? Appreciation and advice?

If you've no idea who I'm talking about, check out his bio by clicking on his name on the KHE Experts box...and add a comment to this posting...go on!

    We could sell off the "message spaces" on his cast to our clients to raise money for Deremiah’s charities. I look forward to getting this one:

    “Wish that I could get this level of sponsorship for my overalls”
    Best wishes, Michael Schumacher

    Okay Juliet, Stevea, Randall, Barq,

    I see the new birdie logo has not only taken on a new image and appearance but I guess the three abstract lines that are coming from it's mouth must represent these three letters *TPB which stands for *Telling People's Business.

    MARKETING PROFS LITTLE BIRDIE UNDERGO'S AN UPDATE...
    So I won't create a bigger scene by interrogating the little birdie whose new image might need to be retransformed now into a "Little ---BIG Mouth---Parakeet". In Oklahoma where I grew up for a few moments you could often see on the back of a Chevy or Ford the Big Mouth bass image which was quite popular for catching at the ole fishing hole.

    IF I DIDN'T LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH...I'D...I'D...
    Well I was hoping to keep this small little-itty-bitty problem very-very private...but I guess I should be prepared now THANKS to a ---few friends--- to find the paparazzi outside of my door waiting to see me out do Britney Spears as I try to find some baby bottles and the right choice of motivational words to threaten them with...or maybe I can just contact the paparazzi and ask them to look up a few choice friends with a kidnapped "Little Birdie" whose that looks like a Bluejay but sounds like a Parakeet.

    NOW THAT I'VE HAD MY RANT...
    let me say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU everyone for expressing your concerns.

    STEVEA...Great suggestion and interesting message to log onto my cast. But what if I came to the UK to meet with you... do you think you could give me at least a day of your time to seriously consider talking about this and then setting up some strategical plans to making this happen in a Benjamin Franklin kind of way? I mean putting some real electrical energy ---Thinking--- in the same space together about it and maybe while I'm there we could do a podcast I could launch on a friend of mines website that's starting to come around.

    RANDALL..."Who needs ENEMIES---when they've got Friends" :-) Nice impromptu there. Randall it's been a while since I've been to Texas maybe I could make a quick round trip Houston on a weekend in the next couple of months and we could talk about how we could influence each others relationships for the better.

    JEFF...Wonderful way to think about it. I can always count on you to give me an interesting perspective on the matter. AND thanks for your prayers and CPE expressions. Jeff do you think that there might be some way in Heaven that I could leverage my relationships and reputation in a way that could benefit Glenwood, you and quite possibly everyone else who might want to become involved besides myself? I'm thinking that there is and deep inside I've got a wonderful vibration...gut feeling that you're the person to consider asking this question? Don't answer it yet. Just think about it maybe even sleep on it and then shoot me an email. Thanks.

    REMEMBER... our only real problem in life is our failure to be "MORE Creative" than we’ve ever been. If you “Invent” your opportunity YOU WILL most definitely create your future. I'm only an email away from all of you if you ever need my help. AND I give you my word I will do something that will be constructive and beneficial to you. Is there anything else I can do for you?

    Your Servant,

    Okay Juilet & Jill,

    Thanks for both of your inputs.

    JUILET...besides starting this whole thing you're firing with both barrels. Nice slogans and quite witty...so where's that little birdie. I'll be sure to catch him with the one good bionic leg. SMILE. Now with your support I could secure the greater part of my opportunites in advance for 2008. Thanks and as the Donkey said to Shrek..."You've Got To HAVE FRIENDS".

    JILL...Thanks for your kind words but I've found that living PASSIONATELY is birthed during challenging times...You either decide to live GUNG-HO or you decide to live outside of your Purpose empty and unfulfilled taking all of your emotional gifts for living joyously to the grave having never made a difference or influenced anyone. Everyday I have the opportunity to Mentor the most wonderful seed of the land in our Children At-Risk...the future of America. Now let me end with a little bit of history here Jill...the part of life that has enriched me so greatly and has caused me to be so Lavenderly PASSIONATE can be found ALIVE and Vibrant ---Living--- in the words of DEAD MEN who still "though they be dead yet they still speaketh".

    ...Ralph Waldo Emerson once said in his great essays on life in his specific dealing with the subject "EXPERIENCE" in one of his essays and I think as I agree with Mr. Emerson that I too have found my passion with him here and this is what he said...

    ..."The fine young peoople despise life, but in me, and in such as with me are free from dyspepsia, and to whom a day is a sound and solid good, it is a great excess of politeness to look scornful and to cry for company. I am grown by sympathy a little eager and sentimental, but leave me alone and I should relish every hour and what it brought me, the potluck of the day, as heartily as the oldest gossip in the bar-room. I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe and is disappointed when anything is less than the best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods. I accept the clangor and jangle of contrary tendencies. I find my account in sots and bores also. They give a reality to the circumjacent picture which such a vanishing meterous appearance can ill spare. In the morning I awake and find the old world, wife, babes and mother, Concord and Boston, the dear old spiritual world and even the dear old devil not far off. If we will take the good we find, asking no questions, we shall have heaping measures. The great gifts are not got by analysis. Everything good is on the highway.

    And I've learned to live fiesty for life on the words of John D. Rockefeller. In the Titan under the Enthusiast it says...

    ..."When Rockefeller receded from the business world in the mid 1890s, the average American was earning less than ten dollars per week. Rockefeller's average income---a stupefying $10 million per annum in those glory days before income taxes---defied public comprehension." ...(a few paragraphs later it reads)..."When someone expressed surprise to Rockefeller that he had not gotten a big head, he replied, "Only fools get swelled up over money." Comfortable with himself, he needed no outward validation of what he had accomplished.

    So living passionately can be summed up in appreciating even the small things and if you ever attain great wealth never be impressed by it and these are my anchors and that's why I'm so passionate. So thanks Juliet and Jill you guys are the greatest!

    Your Servant,

    Well Stevea & Juliet (this must be the UK connection you got going here) you're just having a good time.

    Carrie: Thanks for your kind words and I do agree it is a real shame it happened BUT (with a huge SMILE) ---I'm so glad it did--- as I've met so many more caring human beings like yourself that I would have never met along the path of life I was traveling. As you can see from above these are just a few of my peers along with you and because of Juliet, you have now an opportunity to express your love for me which is so wonderful.

    Even my surgeon Dr. Armen S. Kelikian, (a Professor and a Clinical Instructor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Northwestern University Medical School here in Chicago, Illinois https://www.ibji.com/physicians/kelikianmd.htm ) who comes from a very proud tradition of medical doctors has been beyond excellent through out the whole process. He's the surgeon for the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Blackhawks professional teams and now I have the opportunity to interview him and Evangelize with PASSION the joy and great work he brings to his customers as I've had first hand personal experience from which I can speak of. Even his staff Carolyn King and Michelle G. have been so supportive including all of the Northwestern staff members who waited on me...EXCELLENT.

    So you see everything isn't always what it seems. "An Accident"....No this didn't happen on accident it was a purposefully prescribed and orchestrated set of events that has come to enrich my life and YOURS through the vehicle of "Life Experience"...isn't this all so wonderful. Even the pain must lie dormant as I rejoice in jubiliation over the excitement of my new found friends who have risen up out of the UK to tell all of my KHE friends about this.

    And Carrie if you go read my story on my website "The Courage To Continue" you'll see that Very Bad things often happen to the BEST of us but that doesn't mean were accident prone...were just prone to experience life from a new altitude...even though I'm hobbling on crutches it can't stop me from flying with the JOY that I have found in my LOVING FRIENDS New & Old who are now surrounding me with there love. In the "Law of Cause & Effect" we learn that this is an orderly universe, there are ---NO accidents---, EVERYTHING ---happens--- for a REASON. For every effect there is a cause or a set of causes. Carrie I love you and I think you are one of the jewels of the KHE Staff...you're the first one to respond and that says a lot about who you are...YOU'RE NUMBER #1...Is there anything else I can do for you? Maybe something that will make your day a little brighter or make things go a little easier for you?

    Your Servant,

    Deremiah

    PS

    Get well soon Deremiah!

    I'll probably write "Hope to see you back in action in Know-how forum!" :)

    Just for laughs, I would have written "Thank God, it was only the heel, not the hands!"

    I'll be checking out your blog! ^_^

    Thanks Benny and Darcy.

    I really appreciate it that you guys do care and sometimes getting back in the game takes a few minutes. Right now I'm starting to answer a few. And Darcy rather funny as gently kicking butt would have been the easiest way to tear an Achilles. Benny thanks for checking out the Blog. You're the greatest!

    Your Servant,

    Deremiah
