One knight told his best friend: "My bride is without doubt one of the most beautiful women in the world. It would be a terrible waste if no man could have her. Therefore, as my best and most trusted friend, I am leaving you the key to her chastity belt to use should I not return from the Crusade." The company of knights were only a mile or so out of town when they noticed a cloud of dust approaching. Thinking it might be an important message from the town the column halted. A horseman approached. It was the knight's best friend. He yells: "Hey, you gave me the wrong key!!" -<>- A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person. The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the Republican's pocket and gave the homeless person fifty dollars. Now you understand the difference between Republicans and Democrats. -<>- .--. | * `. | ( .-. |<><> '._ .' | | /\ <><>'._.' * | : * /\ * * .'

Constantly checking in the mirror to see if the pouch is there. 2nd, 3rd, etc.: Depressed to find that you cannot button your regular pants before you even reach your first doctor's appointment. Only relief is to let the pouch that never went away out and stop trying to hide it. 1st: Begin wearing maternity clothes before you actually have to. 2nd, 3rd, etc.: Begin to cry as you open the bin of maternity clothes because you are wearing them a full two months earlier than the first time around. 1st: Morning sickness can be comforted by rest and light snacks. 2nd, 3rd, etc.: You ignore it while you care for your other kids. All snacks must be eaten in secret because the first kids will beg for whatever food they catch you with. 1st: You write down every moment of pregnancy into a journal for your baby to read eighteen years later. 2nd, 3rd, etc.: You blog your occasional thoughts so that they can someday be printed out because the action of actually writing in a journal requires alone time that you no longer have. 1st: You and your husband spend long moments gazing at your growing belly, dreaming about who this little creature will be. 2nd, 3rd, etc.: You no longer have time to gaze because the first creature constantly interrupts. 1st: You beam when friends tell you that you have the pregnancy glow. 2nd, 3rd, etc.: You roll your eyes at the glow comment because you know the truth is that you are sweaty, bloated, tired, and have friends that are full of crap. 1st: You think you can eat anything you want because it is finally okay to gain weight. 2nd, 3rd, etc.: You realize you cannot eat anything you want because you are still recovering from that binge from the first pregnancy. 1st: You take all of the pregnancy classes, read all of the books and consider yourself an expert on all things baby related. 2nd, 3rd, etc.: You realize you never knew anything about babies and only check the books when something does not feel right. 1st: You worry about embarrassing things happening during the birth, like (gasp) pooping while pushing the baby out. 2nd, 3rd, etc.: You do not care about anything but getting that back- breaking baby out. 1st: You pray for the little one growing inside of you and are humbled that you get to carry this life for such a sweet time. 2nd, 3rd, etc.: Well, maybe not everything is different. - - - - - - - - - From Tales from a Stay at Home Mom: http://bit.ly/differences1 Copyright 2010 Tammy Rosenfeldt.

"Quick man," he whispered to one of the waiters, "what did they say?" "Nothing," replied the waiter. "They were all too busy slipping the seeds into their pockets to plant at home!" -------- A minister, having served the same church for many years, decided to leave and take a similar position in another church. Without telling anyone he had made this decision or writing a letter to the congregation, he waited until Sunday morning to announce his resignation in church. When he spoke to the congregation he orated, "The same Jesus that called me to this church many years ago has now called upon me to leave and serve another church." The choir all stood and sang, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." -------- A businessman boarded a plane to find, sitting next to him, an elegant woman wearing the largest, most stunning diamond ring he had ever seen. He asked her about it. "This is the Masterson diamond," she said. "It is beautiful, but there is a terrible curse that goes with it." "What's the curse?" the man asked. "Mr. Masterson." -------- The Wednesday-night church service coincided with the last day of hunting season. Our pastor asked who had bagged a deer. No one raised a hand. Puzzled, the pastor said, "I don't get it. Last Sunday many of you said you were missing because of hunting season. I had the whole congregation pray for your deer." One hunter groaned, "Well, it worked. They're all safe." -------- A doctor says to his patient Todd, "I've got good news and I've got bad news. The bad news is you're showing signs of being a homosexual." "With bad news like that, what could be the good news?" Thomas asks. "The good news is I think you're cute." -------- After putting her children to bed, a mother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. At last she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard her three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?" -------- A man who had just undergone a very complicated operation kept complaining about a bump on his head and a terrible headache. Since his operation had been an intestinal one, there was no earthly reason why he should be complaining of a headache. Finally his nurse, fearing that the man might be suffering from some post-operative shock, spoke to the doctor about it. The doctor assured the nurse, "Don't worry about a thing. He really does have a bump on his head. About halfway through the operation we ran out of anesthetic." -------- A lady went into the grocery and asked for fifty gallons of milk. The clerk, amazed, asked her what she was going to do with that much milk. "I have a skin problem and the doctor prescribed a milk bath." The clerk asked, "Pasteurized?" She replied, "No just up to my chin." -------- ,______________________________________ |_________________,----------._ [____] ""-,__ __....-----===== (_(||||||||||||)___________/ "" | `----------' Krogg98[ ))"-, | "" `, _,--....___ | `/ """" According to an actual scientific survey of people's reaction to jokes, this is the funniest joke every told: Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?" -------- An eminent psychologist was called to testify in court. A severe, no- nonsense professional, she sat down in the witness chair unaware that its rear legs were set precariously on the back of the raised platform. "Will you state your name?" asked the district attorney. Tilting back in her chair, she opened her mouth to answer, when she was catapulted head-over-heels backward and landed in a stack of exhibits and recording equipment. Everyone watched in stunned silence as she extricated herself, rearranged her disheveled dress and hair, and was re seated on the witness stand. The glare she directed at onlookers dared anyone to so much as smirk. "Well, doctor," continued the district attorney without changing expression, "we could start with an easier question." -------- A distraught patient phoned her doctor's office. Was it true, the woman wanted to know, that the medication the doctor had prescribed was for the rest of her life? She was told that it was. There was a moment of silence before the woman continued, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious my condition is. This prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS.' " -------- A drill sergeant had just chewed out one of his cadets, and as he was walking away, he turned to the cadet and said, "I guess when I die you'll come and dance on my grave." The cadet replied, "Not me, Sarge. No sir! I promised myself that when I got out of the Army, I'd never stand in another line!" -------- A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication for her daughter. When returning to her car she found that she had locked her keys in the car. She was in a hurry to get home to her sick daughter. She didn't know what to do, so she called her home and told the baby sitter what had happened, and that she did not know what to do. The baby sitter told her that her daughter was getting worse. She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door." !|| !|||| ,/|||| !|'''| `\ | )\ \ ejm / \ \ \ The woman looked around and luckily found an old rusty coat hanger that had been thrown down on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time or other had locked their keys in their car. Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this." She bowed her head and asked God to send her some help. Within five minutes an old rusty car pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head. The woman thought, "Great, God. This is what you sent to help me?" But, she was desperate, so she was also very thankful. The man got out of his car and asked her if he could help. She said, "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication, and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?" He said, "Sure." He walked over to the car, and in less than one minute the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "Thank You So Much! You are a very nice man." The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for about an hour." The woman hugged the man again, and with sobbing tears cried out loud, "Oh, Thank You God! You even sent me a Professional!" --- ...LOL! Great Ones!

Brrr! If you are battling frigid temps too, today I'm featuring hints to help with winter blues. While 20 degrees is not quite cold enough, sub-zero temperatures can put your plumbing pipes at risk of freezing and bursting. To avoid this plumbing catastrophe when temperatures dip, insulate your exposed pipes with heat tape or foam pipe insulation, and open cabinet doors under your sinks to help warm air circulate around the pipes. If you have pipes inside exterior walls it is impossible to insulate them, but rather than having a pipe burst, when it gets really, really cold out turn your faucet to a small trickle to keep water flowing. It's an expensive solution if you're paying for water, but it's cheaper than having to tear out the drywall to repair a burst pipe! * Gas 'er up! During cold weather months, its a good practice to keep at least a half a tank of gasoline in your vehicle at all times. Not only does it prevent you from being stranded, but it prevents any water in the tank from freezing, which can damage the fuel pump. * Cover It: Did you know that just by using a lid to cover a pot on the stove top, you can reduce your energy use by up to two- thirds? It also allows you to heat food faster, saving you both time and effort. * Reduce salt There's nothing more frustrating than over-salting a soup or stew you've spent countless hours and countless dollars in ingredients making. Try adding wedges of raw potato or apple to absorb the salt. Simmer for 10 minutes or so, then remove the wedges. If your soup is still too salty, sprinkle in a spoonful of sugar. If that doesn't work, a dash of apple-cider vinegar may do the trick. Finally, try diluting with water or low- sodium broth. * Protect Brown Sugar From Hardening Keeping brown sugar in the freezer will stop it from hardening. But if you already have hardened sugar on your shelf, soften it by sealing in a bag with a slice of fresh bread or an apple - or by microwaving on high for 30 seconds. * Keep Herbs Fresh To keep herbs tasting fresh for up to a month, store whole bunches, washed and sealed in plastic bags, in the freezer. When you need them, they'll be easier to chop, and they'll defrost the minute they hit a hot pan. * Stop The Itch... Dry winter air can make even perfectly healthy skin feel tight, rough, and incredibly itchy! To cut down the symptoms by up to 95% in 24 hours, gently massage coconut oil into the trouble spots twice a day. The natural lubricant brims with healing anti-inflammatory fats. Can't find coconut oil? Petroleum jelly works too, but it takes longer to soak into skin. * Lift Sweater Balls With A Close Shave Fuzzballs, or some call it 'pilling', happens when the ends of fibers tangle, forming knots due to friction. Which they only get worse the more you wash and dry your knits. The fix: Use a razor. Lay your sweater down on a flat surface, and gently glide a razor down it to shave pills off without harming the fabric. * Cut down on paper products Paper products account for about a 1/3 of the waste commonly found in landfills. Sponges, washcloths, and towels are cheaper, reusable, and take up less space than paper towels. And when they get dirty, they're easily disinfected by boiling them in hot water. No waste necessary! ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: Justice With Judge Jeanine 9PM 1/30/21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLEbthZbxvU Watters' World 8PM 1/30/21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDr1Sn2Ns8c Haley: 'Good first week for Russia' following Biden's series of executive orders AND More: https://tinyurl.com/y68k8h63 Anti-Trump Lincoln Project Finally Acknowledges Their Leader was a Homosexual Predator / Woke Racial Politics Slows Vaccine Rollout / Biden Infectious Disease Expert Claims 2 Masks Increase Your Chances of COVID / Taiwan Claims China’s Communist Navy is Violating Its Defense Zone / Google Helps Out Robinhood App by Deleting Thousands of Negative Reviews / GOP Gains Votes in Last House Seat Election as Errors are Discovered AND More: https://reliablenewsnow.com Joe Biden Presidency is a Big Win for Russians and You Won't Believe Why / WHO Says Not to Rely on COVID Test Results for This Shocking... https://deepstatejournal.com One State Making Move To BAN MANDATORY VACCINES! / What They Are Planning To Do To DC Is Absolutely Mind Blowing!

The teller told investigators Flores first handed over a white deposit ticket with a message, "No die Packs" and "armed," according to an affidavit from FBI agent Ward Yoder. Officers later reported finding a knife in the pocket of Flores' jacket. After triggering a silent alarm, the teller asked Flores whether he was looking to make a deposit or a withdrawal, according to the agent. Flores said he wanted to make a withdrawal. The teller then handed over a blue deposit slip and watched as Flores allegedly wrote "$10,000" on the withdrawal ticket. The teller then asked Flores for an ATM card and a form of identification, the agent alleged. Flores continued to cooperate with the requests. Police arrived around noon and took Flores into custody. According to Yoder, Flores waived his rights and confessed to the robbery during an interview. -<>- A man and woman have been arrested in central Florida after police say they stole more than $300 worth of meat from a grocery store. Deputies reported that 48-year-old Doris Rowe and 54-year- old Kenneth Edwards drove 26 miles to a Winn-Dixie store in DeLand where a store manager saw Rowe stuffing meat products and other items into her pants.

Members of Facebook groups based in Plymouth, England, said posts that mentioned the name of Plymouth Hoe were removed by the social media site and some users found their accounts temporarily suspended on accusations of using offensive language. The name of the landmark comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "hoe," which describes a sloping ridge shaped like an inverted foot and heel. Facebook admitted the word was mistakenly confused for offensive speech, leading to posts being erroneously removed. "These posts were removed in error and we apologize to those who were affected. We're looking into what happened and will take steps to rectify the error," a Facebook representative said. --- ...I've had the same problem when using the word cockpit - got banned years ago from a Canadian search engine for it. *- Man hospitalized after attempt to kiss venomous snake -* A Florida man is recovering from a cottonmouth snake bite to his lip after he allegedly tried to smooch the serpent on the mouth. Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies said Austin Hatfield, 18, captured the 4-foot cottonmouth, also known as a water moccasin, while swimming last week and kept it in a pillowcase at his girlfriend's house, where he was bitten on the lip. Friends told investigators Hatfield was trying to kiss the snake when it struck him. Hatfield was initially hospitalized in critical condition, but his status was upgraded to good condition and officials said he is expected to make a full recovery. Investigators said Hatfield did not possess the proper permits required by the state to catch and keep cottonmouth snakes. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said it is investigating the incident. *--- It's Bigfoot season ---* An Oklahoma state representative introduced a bill that would establish a hunting season for one of the state's most infamous species of alleged native wildlife: Bigfoot. Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-District 19, introduced a bill to the state legislature that would call on the Oklahoma Wildlife Commission to designate a Bigfoot hunting season. The mythical ape has been the subject of numerous sightings in southern Oklahoma for years, and the region hosts an annual Bigfoot festival for fans of the cryptid. "The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission shall promulgate rules establishing a Bigfoot hunting season. The Commission shall set annual season dates and create any necessary specific hunting licenses and fees," the bill states. The bill, if passed by the legislature and signed by the governor, would take effect Nov. 1. *--- Saw one eat a rockin' chair one time. ---* A woman out fishing with friends on her boat off the coast of Florida captured video of a large great white shark that approached the vessel and took a bite out of a motor. Erika Almond said she and her friends were fishing for amberjack about 65 miles south-southwest of Tampa Bay in her 34-foot SeaVee, named "Offshore Therapy," when the great white shark approached. "It was breathtaking. It came right up and took a chunk out of one of our motors," Almond said. She said shark sightings are not unusual in the area, but this experience was unique. "It's not unusual, we expect sharks when you're fishing and chumming like that but what made this unique was it was about a 14- to 16-foot great white shark. We couldn't believe what we were seeing," she said. Almond said Capt. Tyler Levesque was at one point able to reach down and touch the shark. "At one point he even rolled over like he wanted us to rub his belly," Almond said of the shark. Almond said that, despite the minor damage to her boat, she is grateful for the encounter. "We knew it was a special moment," she said. "It's truly an amazing experience to see all the things we see offshore and you never know what you're going to find." --- ...Yes, I found the video - just for you! :) https://tinyurl.com/y2h7qqrr See my page for more info on the Great White Shark: http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/greatwhite.html ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend DonF :) BUILD BUILD BUIL BU BUI BUI BUILD BUIL BUI BUILDI BUI BUILD BUILDINGBU BUIL BUI BUILDING BUI BUILD BUILDINGBU BUIL BUI BUILDING BUI BUILDI BUILD BUILDINGBU BUIL BU BUI BUILDINGB BUI BUILDI BUILD BUILDINGBUILDINGB BUILDINGB BUI BUILDINGB BUILDINGB BUILDI BUILD BUILDINGBUILDINGB BUILDINGB BUILDINGBUILD BUILDINGB BUILDI BUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDIN BUILDINGBU BUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDING BUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDING BUILDINGBU BUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBU BUILDINGBU BUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBU BUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDIN BUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDIN BUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGB dp BU BUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDINGBUILDIN >A Builder Or a Wrecker?

Most Americans prefer beef to pork. Hamburger is an American favorite but contains no ham. The porcine raisers were hopeful to see a significant increase in their business after the scares about health over beef, but most of the benefits had gone to the poultry and fish industries, Sale of ham and bacon remained virtually unchanged. Because of this, The National Porcine Association hired a major Madison Avenue advertising firm to boost sale of pork products. They decided on an intensive campaign to saturate magazines television and radio with ads urging people to eat pork patties. The campaign was given an extra boost when Congress was convinced to designate the second of February as the day when every family would be urged to eat pork sausage. That day would be celebrated nationally, of course, as Ground Hog Day. -<>- ___ ___ '::|_|_| '::|_|_|'.:|_|_| '.:|_|_| _,,--~~|~~--,,_ /` | `\ | 7 _( ___ |.|\|:-)|__ |'| |___| / |_| /:::\ ~ David Riley Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
