Det här var en tid då en dator, monitor och modem tillsammans kunde kosta
flera månadslöner. Sociala medier fanns i visa enklare former men knappas så
stort som dagens t.ex. Facebook. Så för att sprida artiklar, bilder, dikter, musik,
roliga historier m.m. så användes vanlig traditionell e-post. Man skapade
sändlistor med vänner, bekanta, släktingar och tillsammans med brevvänner.
Brevvänner erhölls genom t.ex. portalen som fortfarande finns idag
Brevvänsförmedlingen ( http://www.brevweb.com/ ). Det var väl långt
ifrån alltid man var aktiva brevvänner, utan snarare utväxling-
utbytesvänner. Vi fortsätter lite till...

Finally a "smart" blonde joke!
A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.
She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to
borrow $5000.
The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a
loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked on the
street in front of the bank. Everything checks out and the bank agrees to
accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into
the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later the blonde returns, repays the $5000 and the interest which
comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your business and
this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While
you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a
multimillionaire.
What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5000?"
The blonde replied, "Where else in New York can I park my car for two weeks
for 15 bucks?"
I will with this letter explain some things about Sweden. I think it could
be an interesting reading if you wish to know more about Sweden, me and what I
think. It always exist many ways to see things on, what I see and think is of
course not what every one in Sweden think. In some things I maybe not always
have all facts.
Conny
Näve full med spik
Det var en gång en liten pojke som lätt blev arg.
Hans pappa gav honom en näve full med spik och sa till honom att varje gång
han blir arg ska han gå bakom huset och slå i en spik i staketet.
Första dagen slog pojken in 37 spikar.
Efter några veckor lärde han sig kontrollera sin vrede och antalet islagna
spikar minskade hela tiden.
Han märkte att det är lättare att behärska sin vrede än att slå in spikar i
ett staket.
Slutligen kom den dagen då pojken inte blev arg en enda gång.
Han sa det till sin pappa och denne föreslog honom att dra ut en spik från
staketet varje dag han inte blir arg alls.
Dagarna gick, och efter en tid kunde pojken tala om för sin pappa att det
inte fanns en enda spik kvar i staketet.
Då tog pappan pojkens hand och ledde honom till staketet. Där sa han till
honom: "Det var bra gjort, min gosse, men titta på alla dessa hål. Det här
staketet blir aldrig mera som det har varit.
När du säger något i vredesmod lämnar det just sådana här ärr. Som om du
skulle sticka in en kniv i en människa och dra ut den igen. Det spelar ingen
roll, hur många gånger du ber om förlåtelse, skadan är redan skedd.

What is Poor?
One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the
country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father
asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.
"Oh Yeah" said the son.
"So what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had four."
"We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a
creek that has no end."
"We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night."
"Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole
horizon."
"We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go
beyond our sight. "
"We have servants who serve us, but they serve others."
"We buy our food, but they grow theirs. "
"We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to
protect them."
With this the boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks dad
for showing me how poor we are."
Too many times we forget what we have and concentrate on what we don't
have. What is one person's worthless object is another's prize possession. It is
all based on one's perspective. Makes you wonder what would happen if we all
gave thanks to God for all the bounty we have been provided by Him, instead of
worrying about wanting more.
The Race
Two natural gas company service personnel, a senior training supervisor and
a young trainee, were out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood.
They parked their truck at the end of an alley and worked their way to the
other end.
At the last house, a woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two
men as they checked her gas meter.
When they finished, the senior supervisor, proud of his physical condition,
challenged his younger co-worker to a foot race back to their truck.
As they approached the truck, they realized that the woman from the last
house they checked was huffing and puffing right behind them. They stopped and
asked her what was wrong.
Gasping for breath, she replied, "When I saw two gas men running as hard as
you two were, I figured I'd better run, too!"

MANAGEMENT LESSONS ..words to live by.
Lesson Number One
*****************
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do
nothing all day long?"
The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below
the crow, and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Management Lesson: To be SITTING AND DOING NOTHING,
YOU MUST BE SITTING VERY, VERY HIGH UP.
Lesson Number Two
*****************
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree, "sighed the
turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
“They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him
enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the
tree.
Management Lesson: BULLSHIT might get you TO THE TOP, but IT WON'T KEEP
YOU THERE.
Lesson Number Three
******************
A little bird was flying south for the winter.
It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there
It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there
in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was
actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to
sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came
to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the
pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!
Management Lessons:
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your ENEMY.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your FRIEND.3) And when you're in deep shit, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!
November 1999 skrev jag detta brev till brevvänner boende utomlands.
Det var under en tid då dessa hade många frågor om Sverige. Ganska lång läsning, till och från svårläst engelska (Hade huvudsakligen ett annat sätt att uttrycka mig på) men ger en bra tillbakablick till 90-talet. Sen brevet har skrivits för nu över 20 år sen så har förstås mycket återigen förändrats.

Hi!
 |
| Örby slott någon gång under 90-talet |
Sweden is neutral country. If we do anything we first wait for UN to say
that it is ok. For many years I think that has worked fine (It has been good
for Sweden) and Sweden has done many good things in the name of UN. But today I
and many others are starting to rethink this. Well, what we think is that things
in UN is not working, as it should.
In this subject I would say that it exist a wish for a change and people
and the army are giving suggestions. Until people have decided what we wish for
the old way will be kept. But sometimes I think it looks little strange when I
hear the government saying “This is what we wish for” and when I know that it is
a very big group that thinks different and also before or later will vote
different.
Sweden went in to EU (EUROPEAN UNION). We had an election about this and it
was a close call but it became a yes. Personally I voted yes. I saw good and bad
points in this all together it looked for Sweden like +-0, so I did understand
those that said no too. But I did not see that anything should get worse by this
and the thing that made me to move over to yes was that I saw that it should be
easier to move around in EU.
But today, some years later, it feels like the same. We have got some neat
driving licence and
passports (Sweden had much bigger format on them before). It
is easier to go over the border. Some things are different, other laws, but
mainly I wouldn’t say things has got better or worse for Sweden because of EU.
But it is many things that are changing in Sweden, but I can’t see that that
should have anything with EU to do.

| Mer ifrån Örby Slott under 90-talet. |
For a 10-15 years ago was things in good and bad ways more controlled by
the state. Do not mix this up with anything now, Sweden are and have always
taken democracy and the freedom to speak serious. But post-office and Phone
Company for example was State Company. We could not open a company and sell
those services. In general it was harder to be a company owner. In general I
think it was more bureaucracy and the feeling and the way people was thinking
was that you should not say against the state workers. If they say one thing it
is the trough, but in general things was also working good. I can’t remember
that it was any big problems with schools, we had good and cheap medical care,
police had much more money/ support, it was not that hard to get a work with
good pay. Well, some things has changed some is good and some is bad.
Today we have many post company’s and phone company’s. We have by law go to
school for 9 years. We have never needed to go to the state school we could go
privet schools. But today the money from what it should cost to go to state
school is taken over to the privet school so the cost for going to privet school
is today much lesser. But it is a lot bigger pressure on the kids in schools
today. It is often we hear on TV today about problems in school we never heard
about before, to few teachers are one reason. Also has many things for kids
after school been cute down, places they could go to and so. Also it is much
harder to get work and it is today lesser pay or more to say they often get
lesser for there money when before. So parents don’t have the money all the time
to pay as they did before for football, Ice hockey and other things kids went to
before more often. Before when it was more work parents easy could fix extra
work for there kids there they worked too. Today it is harder for kids/teenagers
students to get extra work. So what do kids do when they don’t have anything to
do? Well, I believe you could count that out.
The crimes by kids are increasing. We are also getting allot more homeless
people, something we
almost not knew the word for before. The cost for medicine
and doctors are getting more and more expensive and what is worse is that it
starting to be more and more failures and longer waiting times for operations.
In the older care it have been little too many failures on that people have
protest very hard now, so on that at the least it will be a little change now.

The crimes are increasing in same time as police are starting to get lesser
money. Police are soon gone do a protest, they gone take all police for a time
on the street. I mean they take even them that works on the office and take them
out on street for showing how the security could be. If they show that the
crimes are going down I guess the government could be in a little problem.
People will then see how things should work.
For sure we hear about much more crimes today especially when sex crimes
against females and children, oh gosh we have even had cases this years on the
childcare, people think they should be able to leave there children safe at the
least there. Police murder was also one of those things we almost didn’t know
the word for. In some few years now we have had 3 police murder and also some
very serious death threat on some high police chefs.
When this is happen people be afraid and do and say things that go over
people that not have done anything. When this is happen company and
organisations are starting to rent guards. It is starting to be guards
everywhere and it is coming more and more security companies. But those guards
have done many wrong things. My guess is for ones that they need more training.
They need so much guards now and that so fast so a big risk is that they don’t
have time to train them as they maybe should. Let’s say like this, we getting
more guards but still are the crimes increasing. And it could in one way also give false safety. Guards can’t stop
everything and if people think they have guard there nothing could now happen it
is bad. The guard is a help, but people should not stop being careful for that.
It is many that uses guard dressers also when they do crimes today. Also
criminals are starting to getting over VERY heavy weapons and it getting heavier
and heavier. It is like the guard and the police are standing there with a water
pistol and the criminal with a fire department truck. Some cases has been there
the criminals not has been a bit afraid for what could happen if police comes.
It has been out in country there it not is too big police force and they have
had too good weapon so they have taken very good time on them, no fear what so
ever for if or if not police comes. They took their time to shut smile faces in
the bank before they left.
We do army service here for one year, we more and more see that people
taking some of the best training in there for when using it for crimes. Some of
this training’s are very good and that skill could many times be much better
when the guards and the police. Put this skill on a criminal and this weapon I
am speaking of against a police that getting lesser support and you could count
out the future. More and more people do not wish to become police anymore.
But people are starting to think and do things for taking better and better
care of the nature. We do for sure also have a very beautiful nature here in
Sweden. Also the attitude against company owner are getting better. Before it
was much like that that they thought we was people that not work and being
haughty/ supercilious, we for sure are not more like that when anyone else and
that are people starting to understand better now.
Well, it is many countries that has it much worse when what we got on all
those subjects but people do not like what is happening, the increase. Some of
the problems are about cut downs other problems I guess is much about that
people are changing, moral, ethic and responsibility. People are starting to see
that they today can’t just agree with the state. We every single person has to
start to questioning everything and learn about things and if things are wrong
fight for changing it. This year I have seen a big change about this and also
the media are changing and being much harder with checks. This is helping, if
something goes on TV that really are wrong it dos not take more when some days
before the state must start taking steps for doing something about it.
Fore some days ago I heard on TV about that the Customs Department are
checking busses that has many people that not are Swedes or when just maybe
people that not are born here in Sweden much more when busses that most are
Swedes. This is a problem for the busses so one buss line say they can’t take
more when 5 people on the buss that not are Swedes for not getting allot of
problems in the custom. Well, after that this went on TV the day after they say
the Custom department gone have to answer for this and they are also gone be
investigated and the media gone proceed reporting about this. You could say that
it is like that that when things not are working and people get to tiered about
the problems they take the power back from the state.
This year you could find people that not even knowing each other joining
each other in discussions on the street about things that are wrong. People are
not only talking they are doing things too for changing it and it is working.
This what starting to happen this year I am very happy to see. The school was
also for first time in court convicted for some weeks ago for a case of a girl
that has been victimised of other children. This conviction will give all school
and also politicians a bigger responsibility for that things shall work in
schools. If people treat people like them self wish to be treaded and doing
their work and taking responsibility many problems could be solved.
Internet is I see a good toll for democracy too. Many people in Sweden do
have Internet and are starting to use it for e-mail complains to government,
media, friends and so on. I guess it feels easier for people to e-mail when to
write letters. Well I don’t know but for sure is the Internet being used for
this.
For a short time ago my mother was walking by the parliament building and
out comes some high politicians, when a guy that also walk there points to them
and shoot "“Here comes the idiots”. Well, most of people that also walks there
are starting to join in to this tone, even 2 tourists from Finland (Many people
in Finland knows Swedish.). The politicians bend their heads down and walk away
from there. This would people for sure not have done for 15 years ago. I must
say I think this was a bit childish but in same time it is good that people
stands up.
Me personally have not had that many problems with any of these things. But
my mother had to have some operation that she had to wait dangerous long for
getting. Also it was some wrong things done, it could have ended very badly for
mother, but I am glad that it didn’t. That problem for US will not that lightly
happen us again in our family because if we need any doctors or medical help we
now days are able to go to privet doctors. Things are working well there for
us.
My friend, this letter does not have any questions for you, this is just
something to think about. But it is important things to think about. This is
questions we all gone have to take serious and stand up for. We can’t go around
thinking that we can’t do anything when nothing will be done. The government /
state big company’s they are powerful and so, but in the end are they working
for us people. We gone have to fight for that world we wish to live in. That is
a responsibility not only for the politician that is all peoples
responsibility.
If you have any questions I will be happy to answer. I hope you will have a
nice weekend!
Take care!
Ska jag ska göra en sammanfattning så handla många utskick om att förklara
riktig vänskap, få en att förstå vad som i långa loppet är viktigt i livet, till
och från diskussioner med gud (Ofta i en religionslös form), rättigheter och
skyldigheter samt skämt om män och kvinnor. Skämten om män och kvinnor varken
mer eller mindre åt något håll, ett jämställt rackartyg. Men tror ändå inte
mycket av det idag kommer att vara så värst politiskt korrekt. Också många
viktiga uppmaning att se det positiva inte bara det negativa samt se möjligheter
och inte bara problem.
