Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice? At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?' The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.' Then he told the following story: Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps. I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.' Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!' Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!' Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball. the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay' Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!' As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!' Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team 'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'. Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day! AND NOW A LITTLE FOOT NOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces. If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren't the 'appropriate' ones to receive this type of message Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference. We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the 'natural order of things.' So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process? A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them. You now have two choices: 1. Delete 2. Forward May your day, be a Shay Day

I recently decided to open an commerce store as revenue source for my wife and daughter. I am 60 years old and just found out I have a terminal heart condition that gives me less than a year to get my life and finances in order. With no Insurance, or back up funds to care for my family I needed to do something. WWW.shopbargains4u.com seemed to be the answer, I researched wholesalers, drop-shippers and web designers for months till I made my decision. After opening up my web store www.shopbargains4u.com, my next task was to start selling on Ebay. I remembered Ebay from the old days, when you could get merchandise for a good price, shipping wasn't a revenue source of it's own and everyone was happy and made money.( remember when people would say I can get it cheaper on Ebay?).What a surprise I was in for when I started looking at Ebay today. What happened? Ebay got a swelled head, they started charging outrageous insertion and listing fees, and final value fees that sometimes go as High as 12% of the sale,plus the listing fees,plus, the pay pal fees on and on, till the prices for items are almost as much if not more, than what you would buy it for in a retail store like Walmart,or Target,BestBuy, ect. Now the sellers answer to all these fees was to, make the prices look reasonable,Then, hike up the shipping & handling fees to make up for the low listing prices. Doing it this way still gave them a chance to make a few dollars. Electronics, Tools,kitchen items used to be purchased at almost 30 to 50 % less than the MSRP now your lucky if you can find a Nintendo Wii, xbox 360, Ipod,camera ect. for under the MSRP then add the shipping and handling and well you got the picture. Sellers are complaining, buyers are fed up, and e-bay is still raising the fees for everything.( Remember Pay Pal is owned by Ebay ) so they get it all. I am surprised they haven't opened up their own shipping service yet ! So back to my story, I now get my e-bay store open, My e-commerce store is open and I am sitting here at the computer waiting for the money to roll in, Yea right, the only money that's doing any rolling is the money rolling out of my pocket and into e-bay's & payPal's for listing and handling fees, Then the money to the hosting company for the e-store, and money to the manufacturer to cover the monthly fee to have the right to sell their products???? yup you NOW have to pay for the right to purchase products???? So I made my 1ST sale a few days ago, $39.69,-$25.50 to the manufacturer, $2.50 listing fees, .$0.80 paypal fee, shipping $7.95 total cost of sale $35.95 ( the MSRP was $42.00 ) so selling for more wasn't an option. So I made about 3 bucks. Right now, if your selling tools,toys,cameras, clothing,home&garden, men & womans clothing,makeup,Or any type of electronics Ebay is the only game in town. Collectables are still available but not much in the way of the good old stuff, most everything is new, or re-furbished. cloned, counterfeit, or a scam. Ebay policies are like reading an encyclopedia Britannia, 4 volumes full, just to make sure you don't screw up, and have them suspend your account and put a hold on your money. You'll need to give your credit card and bank account information to e-bay, and Pay Pal in order to buy or sell( they really just want to know how to get their money of you owe them .) and they keep it all on file so they can get to it if necessary. PayPal puts a hold on your sale money for up to 21 days for newbies( they put a hold on the funds as soon as they get them) they will not put a hold on funds if you can prove you shipped the item( how you can prove you shipped an item 20 minutes after the person won the item, and sent the money is beyond me) but thats the policy, or is it thats the way to hold on to your money so they can gain interest on it in their bank for 21 days.??? I have spoken to many many people, lots of ebay power sellers who are ready to throw in the towel.( I am not asking any questions this just comes up in casual conversations when ebay is mentioned All are in agreement, A New Auction site is needed,one that is designed like the old days where people can shop for a bargain, get a deal, make a deal, negotiate. Find Collectibles. By Electronics without being Electrocuted. As for me, I have talked to several people who want to invest in an auction site, but money is an issue. The site can't and won't be a sophisticated as Ebay. But is doesn't have to. We all agree, no listing fee, no padding the shipping, just honest deals.Ubid, Ebid, Liquidators.com , are all trying but are doing the same thing. getting greedy and doing it the ebay way. Hey, if you agree with what I wrote here send your comments. If I see enough buyers and sellers who agree and are willing to give a new auction site a try( as long as there no listing fees) just a % of the sale if item sells. a small %. Maybe we will give it a try. e-mail me at [email protected] give me your opinion, tell me about your experiences with Ebay. As for me I am going to take that 3 bucks I made off Ebay and go buy me a new car or a hamburger. BY the way we would be selling just like the old days, 30 t0 50% off MSRP, on electronics,tools,toys,games, etc. and real collectibles and old stuff from around the house. Lets make ebay go away
