Weird last night!!

Yesterday at a dinner, by brother had a little spat with another guy, that I've always gotten along with, he and I were talking to several lady's when the guy made a comment to him, that he took out of context. I watched the guy walk away.
That evening at supper we found out 'Greg' was taken to the Hospital, he has high blood pressure, blood clots and things he's always getting hospitalized for. I went to bed and lay there thinking, I replayed 'Greg' walking away, then looked at my bedroom wall toward where the hospital is. I said out loud, "My God the man is dying!" and I began praying in earnest for him. It seemed to me he had an aneurysm, but I think it was just a guess. Today we found out he died last night!! I would like to know the time!
Today one person said he thought he probably had a heart attack, but another said no, he had an aneurysm!

Alumni coffe cups

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

All the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself, adds no quality to the coffee in most cases, just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups...and then began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."

God brews the coffee, not the cups...enjoy your coffee!

Keep Fit?

They say we should exercise and stay fit as long as we can !!

My sentiments exactly... unfortunately.

-----Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month.

My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. Now she's 97 years old and we don't know where the hell she is.

The only reason I would take up exercising is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there.

I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.

If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

..............And last, but not least,

You could walk this over to your friends, but why not just
e-mail it to them right???? YEA!!!!

Hehe Miss Bill?

I Miss Bill Clinton

It doesn't matter what party you belong to -- this is hilarious.

From a show on Canadian TV there was a black comedian who said he misses Bill Clinton.

"Yep, that's right - I miss Bill Clinton! He was the closest thing we ever got to having a black man as President.

Number 1 - He played the sax.
Number 2 - He smoked weed.
Number 3 - He had his way with ugly white women.

Even now? Look at him ... his wife works, and he don't! And, he gets a check from the government every month.

Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America's shelves this week with "Clinton Soup," in honor of one of the nations' most distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water.

Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada.

When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, "I don't know, I never had one."

The Clinton revised judicial oath: "I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know."

Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to do Hanky Panky between Bushes."

---ya gotta love it.
Now Don't U miss Bill??????

Tandem Story hehe

Here's a prime example of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus"
offered by an English professor from the University of Colorado for an
actual class assignment:


The professor told his class one day: "Today we will experiment with a
new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person
will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right.


As homework tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a
short story. You will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send
another copy to me. The partner will read the first paragraph and then
add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending
another copy to me. The first person will then add a third paragraph,
and so on back-and-forth.


Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the
story coherent. There is to be absolutely NO talking outside of these
emails and anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail.
The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached."


The following was actually turned in by two of his English students:
Rebecca and Gary.



THE STORY: (first paragraph by Rebecca)
At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The
chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now
reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he
liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind
off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about
him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of
the question.


(second paragraph by Gary)
Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron
now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about
than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with
whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to
Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar
orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could
sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a
hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him
flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.



(Rebecca)
He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt
one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who
had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its
pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4.
"Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel",
Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously
excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her
youth, when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no
newspaper to read, no television to distract her from her sense of
innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one
lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.



(Gary)
Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live.
Thousands of miles above the city, the Anudrian mothership launched the
first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dimwitted wimpy peaceniks who
pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through the congress
had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who
were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the
passage of the treaty the Anudrian ships were on course for Earth,
carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to
stop them; they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan.
The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The
President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean
floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion,
which vaporized poor, stupid Laurie.



(Rebecca)
This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My
writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent.



(Gary)
Yeah? Well, my writing partner is a self-centered tedious neurotic whose
attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. "Oh, shall I
have chamomile tea? Or shall I have some other sort of F--KING TEA??? Oh
no, what am I to do? I'm such an air headed bimbo who reads too many
Danielle Steele novels!"



(Rebecca)
As*h@le.



(Gary)
B*tch!


(Rebecca)
F**K YOU - YOU NEANDERTHAL!!


(Gary)
In your dreams, Ho. Go drink some tea.


(TEACHER)
A+ - I really liked this one.

Everyone has a photographic memory; some just have run out of film.

Hard to comment on this one....huh??

Stupid Questions!

Actual stupid questions asked in court...
Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, in most
cases he just passes quietly away and doesn't know anything about it until
the next morning?
Q: What happened then?
A: He told me, he says, "I have to kill you because you can identify me."

A: None.
Q: Were there any girls?
Were you alone or by yourself?
Q: I show you Exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize that picture?
A: That's me.
Q: Were you present when that picture was taken?
Were you present in court this morning when you were sworn in?
Q: You say that the stairs went down to the basement?
A: Yes.
Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?
Q: Now then, Mrs. Johnson, how was your first marriage terminated?
A: By death.
Q: And by whose death was it terminated?
Q: Do you know how far pregnant you are now?
A: I'll be three months on March 12th.
Q: Apparently then, the date of conception was around January 12th?
A: Yes.

Do you have any children or anything of that kind?
Was that the same nose you broke as a child?
Q: Mrs. Jones, do you believe you are emotionally stable?
A: I used to be.
Q: How many times have you committed suicide?
So, you were gone until you returned?
You don't know what it was, and you didn't know what it looked like, but can
you describe it?
Q: Have you lived in this town all your life?
A: Not yet.
A Texas attorney, realizing he was on the verge of unleashing a stupid
question, interrupted himself and said, "Your Honor, I'd like to strike the
next question."
Q: Do you recall approximately the time that you examined that body of Mr.
Huntington at St. Mary's Hospital?
A: It was in the evening. The autopsy started about 5:30 P.M.
Q: And Mr. Huntington was dead at the time, is that correct?
A: No, you idiot, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was performing
an autopsy on him!

Chipmunks

In the summertime when my brother and I were around 9-10 years old, we would make money by catching chipmunks.
We used the old Cigar box with a horseshoe on top, and a long string, and would sit and whittle stuff while waiting for the chipmunk to take the bait of oatmeal and peanut butter, eventually we got enough money to buy a Havahart trap which was great because we didn't have to watch it!
We would 'tame' them by laying them on our lap, and holding onto the string, they would of course jump off to run away, and we would let them hang a few moments, before putting back on our lap, and petting them. Twice was the average jumps before they figured out, "Hey! this is not to good a deal for me!!" although a few would go a third time, I guess those were a touch hard headed! Never did one try a fourth time!
We sold them in town, usually for a dollar to the tourists letting them know they could get 20 pounds of grain 'sweepings' for a dollar, and that would last for years. We didn't tell them they would chew off the string and be gone by morning!!
One evening Warren and I were going to a movie, and when we got there, I discovered I was broke!, I asked him to spot me, and I'd pay him back tomorrow. He wouldn't do it, and I was really mad at him, rather than walk all the way home and get some money, I headed for the nearest cafe, parked a chipmunk on my shoulder and made a tour of the booths, sure enough a guy called me over, and asked what it was, and I went into my spiel. He asked me if I would sell it, and I said yes for $10.00 because he's my pet! His kids clamored for him to buy it, and so he did giving me the highest price we ever got for a chipmunk, although I do have one regret!! when he gave me the ten, I pulled another chipmunk out of my pocket and put it on my shoulder and walked on. I have regretted this insult to that guy ever since!!! I ran to the theater and showed Warren the money I got for the chipmunk...and he was green with envy....and I was soooo happy!!!
We sent a box load of Chipmunks to Trails End Zoological Dept in Florida by train, ordering them fed and watered twice a day.....we forgot one thing...Insure them!!! "They" claimed that they had all arrived dead, so we got no money and had the costs of shipping 50 chipmunks...Never again would we send to them!!
My dad had built me a large cage, about 4 foot long by 3 wide and 5 feet high, and I kept a chipmunk I had named Sarge in it, I had a tree in it so it could climb all over. After about 3 years in there, I added a couple other chipmunks, but Sarge killed them, so we put in a couple sparrows, and Sarge killed them too, so we put a Robin in, he killed that also, so to teach it a lesson, we put a squirrel in the cage!
The battle lasted only 3 days, because whenever the squirrel was eating or parked on a branch, Sarge would sneak up on it, bite it then run into it's box that I had made for winter quarters, and it was too small for the squirrel to enter. After 3 days I went out and found the squirrel dead, he had been bitten too many times, so that ended giving Sarge some company. Sarge lived eight years, probably twice the average life of a chipmunk.

I believe we invented the "porcupine" egg racket, as walking through any field one would get a lot of cockleburs
which we would put in a glassine envelope and sell as porcupine eggs. I don't know if the tourists were really that dumb, or if they just honored our small attempts at business.
When we got older and had drivers license's, around Christmas time, to get money, we would gather up boxes, gunny sacks and what ever we could find, and go to the mines up in the hills, and load up all the mica schist we could load up, and sell it. It is ground up and used in rouge, and other cosmetics, also the larger pieces would be used for windows in large shop type stoves. Looking back it seems like we always had some sort of money making operation going!

Don't need him?

God is sitting in Heaven when a scientist says to Him, "Lord, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing. In other words, we can now do what you did in the 'beginning'"


"Oh, is that so? Tell me..." replies God.


"Well, " says the scientist, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of You and breathe life into it, thus creating man."


"Well, that's interesting. Show Me."


So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil.


"Oh no, no, no..." interrupts God,

Interesting!

It is short but very interesting.
A car company can move it's factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market.
A toy company can out source to a Chinese subcontractor and claim it's a free market.
A shoe company can produce its shoes in south east Asia and claim it's a free market.
A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim it's a free market.
We can buy HP Printers made in Mexico.
We can buy shirts made in Bangladesh.
We can purchase almost anything we want from 20 different countries BUT...
Heaven help the senior citizens who dare to buy their prescription drugs from a Canadian pharmacy. That's called "un-American"!!!
And you think the pharmaceutical companies don't have a powerful lobby? Think again!
It is an interesting thought. Maybe this is an issue that should come up in the next election!
We're all in this boat together!
Even if you're not in this boat now,
You're standing on the pier...

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Old Favorite!

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. The locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back into the bar, flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head, fired a shot into the ceiling. "Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?" he yelled with forcefulness. No one answered. "All right, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun Texas!"
Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse has been returned to the post. He mounted up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, before you go, what happened in Texas?"
The cowboy turned back and replied, "I had to walk home."
Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited - until you try to sit in their pews.

Needed Quality Time

Back when I lived in the basement apartment on St. Charles street, I loved the hours from midnight to 3:00 AM I could play computer games, and knew mom wouldn't be hollering at me, and I'd be getting no phone calls so would be undisturbed. Usually by my bedtime, I'd be too tired to do much but a few basic prayers, and couldn't concentrate to read the Bible.
One night just before 10:00 PM (22:00) the Lord intervened and asked, "How about a little quality time, instead of the dregs left over after you've used every available good minute?"
Just then from mom's TV upstairs, Johnny Carson came on. I replied to the Lord, "Let that song be my reminder to get into prayer time, and I agree to do it!" I really think I could be wearing ear plugs and I'd hear that song and be reminded!! but it worked, I would always do my prayer time then, and that has held over for the last 20+ years
Years later, I had moved to the High Rise, and in the morning after my coffee, I would fire up the computer for a game or two. One morning the Lord intervened again, "You wouldn't want to give up some of your morning time for me would you?" Thus began my morning prayer time that I've been really faithful to for the last 10 or more years.
The really sad thing though, is that the Lord had to intervene to get me to do what I should have been doing all along, putting the Lord first instead of last!
