?The Dash Poem? by Linda Ellis<br>
<br>
I read of a man who stood to speak<br>
At the funeral of a friend.<br>
He referred to the dates on her tombstone<br>
>From the beginning to the end.<br>
<br>
He noted that first came the date of her birth<br>
And spoke of the following date with tears,<br>
But he said what mattered most of all<br>
Was the dash between those years.<br>
<br>
For that dash represents all the time<br>
That she spent alive on earth<br>
And now only those who loved her<br>
Know what that little line is worth.<br>
<br>
For it matters not, how much we own,<br>
The cars, the house, the cash,<br>
What matters is how we live and love<br>
And how we spend our dash.<br>
<br>
So think about this long and hard;<br>
Are there things you'd like to change?<br>
For you never know how much time is left<br>
That can still be rearranged.<br>
<br>
If we could just slow down enough<br>
To consider what's true and real<br>
And always try to understand<br>
The way other people feel.<br>
<br>
And be less quick to anger<br>
And show appreciation more<br>
And love the people in our lives<br>
Like we've never loved before.<br>
<br>
If we treat each other with respect<br>
And more often wear a smile,<br>
Remembering that this special dash<br>
Might only last a little while.<br>
<br>
So when your eulogy is being read<br>
With your life's actions to rehash<br>
Would you be proud of the things they say<br>
About how you spent your dash?<br>

I do not mind paying taxes. I run a Bed & Breakfast, north of Moscow.<br>
In addition to sales tax, my guests are charged Travel & Convention Tax,<br>
per Idaho State Law, under my Business License.<br>
Idaho has required I list under Trip Advisor, as they want a free data<br>
base, near as I can tell.<br>
I attempted to contact our Region 2 office under the Travel and Convention<br>
Tax local listings, as Trip Advisor is now requesting a cut of every<br>
booking, to maintain the listing.<br>
Guess where the local Region 2 North Central Idaho Travel Association<br>
Office is?<br>
Pullman, WA.<br>

They said they will have to get back to me.<br>
This does not please me. Just venting.<br>
