>-->Groundhog Day From Our Friend Karen :)
>The Legend of Groundhog’s Day
On Groundhog’s Day, we follow legend
Our eyes look to the ground
For a sleepy little woodchuck
In Punxsutawney town.
If Phil, the brown haired critter
Comes out into the light
And quickly sees his shadow
He’ll bounce back out of sight.
He’ll slip into his burrow
For spring is far away
Six more weeks of winter
The price that we will pay.
But should the day be cloudy
Ole Phil will wander out
With spring around the corner
He’ll spread the news about.
Tis fun to follow legend
It brightens up our day
To think the bliss of springtime
Is not that far away.
~ Marilyn Ferguson ©2004 ~
---
...Groundhogs are so cute! Thank You Karen!
It was a beautiful warming cloudy day here in Ohio. Guess what THAT
meant to a little furry rodent coming up to check out the snow
covered world from his warm and cozy little den? Yep. You guessed it!
He DID NOT see his little shadow! So after our big freeze of a week
below zero frigid cold weather, we are all dancing a jig as we're now
in for an early Spring! If we can believe the little guy. :)

Two longtime friends were catching up with the goings-on in their
families. One father related that his son was studying to be a dentist.
The other man said, "Your son wanted to be a proctologist. How come he
switched to dentistry?"
"When we were having a chat one day, I pointed out that people have
thirty-two teeth but only one rear."
-<>-
One day, after a man had his annual physical, the doctor came out and
said, "You had a great checkup. Is there anything that you'd like to
talk about or ask me?"
"Well," he said, "I was thinking about getting a vasectomy."
"That's a pretty big decision. Have you talked it over with your
family?"
"Yeah, and they're in favor 15 to 2."

>Classical Concert
As the lights began dimming at a recent classical-music concert, an
offstage announcer addressed the audience: "And at this time, would
you be good enough to set your cell phones and small children on
vibrate."

>Bedside Manner
The doctor was making her rounds and walked into the semi-private
room in the hospital to examine old Mrs. Williams.
After the exam, in her best professional voice, she said smoothly,
"You are coughing much more easily this morning."
"I should," snapped the patient, "I've been practicing all night."

>Police Academy
My sister felt she was well prepared for her in-depth interview with
the Police Academy Board who would determine her suitability as a
candidate.
The first situation they presented to her was: "On routine patrol,
you see a car traveling at excessive speed, with undue care and
attention. You pull it over and discover that the driver is your
brother. What do you do?"
Without hesitation she replied, "Tell Mom!"
-<>-
>Scales Don't Lie
A lady noticed her husband standing on the bathroom scale, sucking in
his stomach. Thinking he was trying to weigh less with this
maneuver, she commented, "I don't think that's going to help."
"Sure it does," he said. "It's the only way I can see the numbers."
-<>-
Compliment
Marines are known for storming the beaches, not for romance. I
witnessed this firsthand . One of the enlisted men complimented the
receptionist's flowered jacket.
"It's very pretty," he said shyly.
"Thank you," she replied coyly.
"Yeah," he went on. "It looks just like my mother's sofa."

>SMILES
The principal was annoyed by the noise during the assembly program.
"There seem to be several idiots in the auditorium this morning," he
snapped. "Wouldn't it be better to hear one at a time?" Little Johnny
shouted, "Okay---you start."
----------
Then there was the blonde who had trouble filling out a job application
form. Where it said, "Married," she wrote "twice"; where it said,
"Children," she wrote, "No, both were men." ......
----------
Three blondes are sitting by the side of a river holding fishing poles
with the lines in the water. A Game Warden comes up behind them, taps
them on the shoulder and says, "Excuse me, ladies, I'd like to see your
fishing licenses." "We don't have any." replied the first blonde. "Well,
if your going to fish, you need fishing licenses." said the Game Warden.
"But officer," replied the second blonde, "we aren't fishing. We all
have magnets at the end of our lines and we're collecting debris off the
bottom of the river." The Game Warden lifted up all the lines and, sure
enough, there were horseshoe magnets tied on the end of each line.
"Well, I know of no law against it," said the Game Warden, "take all the
debris you want." And with that, the Game Warden left. As soon as the
Game Warden was out of sight, the three blondes started laughing
hysterically. "What a dumb Fish Cop," the second blonde said to the
other two, "doesn't he know that there are steelhead trout in this
river?!"
----------
There was a blonde sitting on the side of the road because her 1968
Volkswagon beetle had broken down. She started waving her arms to get
the attention of another blonde who was also driving a Volkswagon
beetle. After she was waved down, the second blonde got out of the car
and asked what was wrong. The first blonde said that when she opened up
the hood of her car she noticed that her engine was missing. After
hearing this, the second blonde walked over to her car, opened up the
trunk and said that she was in luck because there was an extra engine in
her trunk.
----------
A doctor examined a woman and took her husband aside. "I don't want to
alarm you," he said, "but I don't like the way your wife looks at all."
"Me neither, Doc." said the husband. "But she's a great cook and real
good with the kids."
-------
A blonde was summoned to court to appear as a witness in a lawsuit. The
prosecutor opened his questioning with, "Where were you the night of
August 24th?" "Objection!" said the defense attorney. "Irrelevant!" "Oh,
that's okay," said the blonde from the witness stand. "I don't mind
answering the question." "I object!" the defense said again. "No,
really," said the blonde. "I'll answer." The judge ruled: "If the
witness insists on answering, there is no reason for the defense to
object." So the prosecutor repeated the question: "Where were you the
night of August 24th?" The blonde replied brightly, "I don't know!"
----------
A blonde is in the bathroom and her husband shouts: "Did you find the
shampoo?"
She answers, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do... it's for dry hair, and
I've just wet mine."
----------
When I was working as a clerk at a sporting-goods store, a woman came up
to my register with a package of white athletic socks. "Will you open
this up so I can see how the socks feel?" she asked.
Reluctantly I tore open the package, and she scrutinized the
merchandise. She handed me the package, saying, "I'll take them."
Relieved, I started to ring her up, until she interrupted me. "Can I
have another pack? This one's been opened."
----------
One Sunday morning the pastor noticed Little Johnny was standing staring
up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The young
man of seven had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor
walked up and stood beside him and gazing up at the plaque he said
quietly, "Good morning son." "Good morning pastor" replied the young man
not taking his eyes off the plaque. "Sir, what is this?" Little Johnny
asked. "Well son, these are all the people who have died in the
service", replied the pastor. Soberly, they stood together staring up at
the large plaque. Little Johnny's voice barely broke the silence when he
asked quietly, "Which one sir, the 8:30 or the 10:30?"
----------
I was teaching my 6-year-old daughter how to unbuckle her seat belt. She
asked, "Do I click the square?" I said, "Yes." She asked me, "Single
click or double click?"
-------
Co-workers sympathized as my mother, Claire, complained that her back
was really sore from moving furniture. "Claire, dear, why don't you wait
'till your husband gets home?" someone asked. "I suppose I could...." my
mother told the group, "but, the couch is easier to move if he's not on
it.
----------
A blond went into a pet shop and asked the owner if he had any parrots.
The owner replied, "Sorry, I don't have any at the moment." "Darn and
blast!" said the blonde, "I have been invited to a masquerade party for
the first time in my life, and I have been told to be as authentic as
possible, hence the need for the parrot explained the Blond. "Well" said
the owner, "if you come back here next week, specifically on Thursday, I
am expecting a shipment from South America and I'll be able to supply
you with a parrot, guaranteed," "Darn and blast!" said the blonde, "I
can't come on that day or for some time after." "Why not?" Asked the
owner. "Because that is the day I'm having my leg amputated!"
---------
I was packing for my business trip and my three-year-old daughter was
having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At one point she said,
"Daddy, look at this" and stuck out two of her fingers.
Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her tiny fingers
in my mouth and said, "Daddy's gonna eat your fingers," pretending to
eat them.
I went back to packing, looked up again and my daughter was standing on
the bed staring at her fingers with a devastated look on her face.
I said, "What's wrong, honey?"
She replied, "What happened to my booger?"

>-->Counting With Fingers by emb
Have you noticed this and has it bothered you too? I've been
watching people on talk shows etc. that when counting by using
their hands as emphasis, they begin counting by using their
little finger to indicate number one and proceed to their thumb
to indicate number 5 like in this image:
https://tinyurl.com/yavxh97n
I had to ask my husband about this as I've just become aware of
this oddity and it was perplexing and bothering me. He is like me
and said 'what?'. We always start with our index finger or thumb
and proceed to our little finger or our thumb if starting with
the index finger.
I looked it up and found this interesting ditty on this:
What does the way you count on your fingers say about your brain?
The finger-counting technique you learned as a child may influence
how good your grey matter is at crunching numbers
'Put down your coffee for a moment. Now, without thinking about
it too much, use your hands to count to 10.
How did you do it? Did you start with the left hand, or the right?
Did you begin counting on a thumb, or with a pinkie? Maybe you
started on an index finger? And did you begin with a closed fist,
or an open hand?
If you're European, there's a good chance you started with closed
fists, and began counting on the thumb of the left hand. If you're
from the Middle East, you probably also started with a closed fist,
but began counting with the little finger of the right hand.
Most Chinese people, and many North Americans, also use the closed-
fist system, but begin counting on an index finger, rather than the
thumb. The Japanese typically start from an open-hand position,
counting by closing first the little finger, and then the remaining
digits.
In India, it's common to make use of finger segments to get as many
as 20 counts from each hand. It's even been reported that the
Amazonian Pirah people don't use their fingers to count at all.
Finger counting feels as natural as breathing – but it's not innate,
or even, apparently, universal. There are actually many different
techniques, and they are culturally transmitted.'

Wow! Learn something new every day! So, this tells me that my husband
and I have a mix of either the European culture or the Chinese people
along with many North Americans. Go figure.
What about you? :)

Love the sweet, delicious taste of blackberries, strawberries,
raspberries and blueberries--but hate the way they turn bad
so quickly? Simply dunking them in a solution of three parts
water to one part white vinegar will destroy any mold spores
or bacteria on them. Rinse, dry and store them in an airtight
container lined with paper towels to absorb moisture and -
presto!- they'll last an extra week.
-<>-
Freshen your garbage can by doing this easy tip...
Cover the bottom of your trash can with a layer of old news-
papers. They absorb any liquids that leak from your garbage
and keep crumbs and dirt from falling to the bottom. Change the
newspaper about once a week.
-<>-
'Go Green' Hint:
A mixture of vinegar and water makes a miracle cleaner when
it comes to getting rid of mildew buildup in the tub.
Simply spray the solution on the problem area, let sit, then
wipe away. Soap scum can be removed with a baking soda paste
composed of baking soda and dish soap. Scrub with a toothbrush
to remove stubborn patches.
-<>-
What party would be complete without lots and lots of snacking?
Keep your guests fully satisfied by arranging your entire
spread on the coffee table where it's easily accessible.
Don't forget small snack plates and napkins for easy snacking,
and keep an eye out for any dishes that need replenishing
throughout the party.
Side note: There are certain snack foods that everyone expects
at a party, and chips and guacamole is one of them. Set out a
heaping bowl of everyone's favorite Mexican-inspired appetizer,
along with other bar snacks like popcorn, marinated olives and
chips n' dip.
-<>-
Gas 'er up!
During cold weather months, it's 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.
-<>-
'Go Green' Hint:
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.
-<>-
Socks on the Go!
Pack an extra pair of socks, and place them in your car's
glove compartment. Then if you need to get out and shovel,
or if you step into a puddle, you'll have dry socks to
change into.
And put those mismatched socks to use: use them as wiper
blade covers!
-<>-
Have you ever gone into your purse to find something
and realize your blue pen leaked all over the inside? It has
happened to me twice now...
Avoid those inky messes inside your purse by storing your
ballpoint pens inside a plastic toothbrush container. Your
purse will stay clean and stain-free.
---
...Wow! I've got a drawer of pens and no leaks! I'm glad as
I'd have a hard time finding enough toothbrush containers for
them all. Yes, I'm one of those 'pen collector' nuts. I love
advertising pens - any company name or logo on a pen or pencil
or even a plastic stir stick and I have to have it and squirrel
it away immediately in my drawer. Silly huh?

Vice President Mike Pence writes about a shocking bill introduced by
Democrats in the Virginia legislature that would affirm abortion up
to the moment of birth. But Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) went even
further. “The infant would be kept comfortable. [And] the infant
would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family
desired, and then a discussion would ensue,” the Governor said.
“There’s another word for this: infanticide,” Vice President Pence

What I want to know is why so many people in Alaska are
carrying around swords and axes? You would think this kind
of thing would be discouraged, but apparently in a state
where bear attacks are as common as bar fights carrying
this kind of equipment is de rigueur.
Unfortunately, when two medieval-armed Alaskans butt heads
in the food court at the local mall, steel will be drawn
and blood will spill. But I'm still a little confused on
where the ax appeared from.
According to Anchorage police, the two men who appeared to
know each other, got into an argument in the 5th Avenue
Mall's food court. Mall security separated the two, and
escorted one of them out of the mall. But he returned to
the food court, and the fight continued, police said.
At that point, police say, the man who had remained at the
food court drew a knife and stabbed the other man in the
upper body. The victim, in turn, "was able to grab a sword
from the suspect and swung it," causing a superficial wound
on his leg, police said.
"The two continued their confrontation down to the third
floor when they became separated," police wrote.
Shortly after that, two officers in the parking garage saw
"an adult male with an ax and swords," who began to run,
according to police. Officers had caught him and taken him
into custody when they heard a call from dispatch stating
that there had been a stabbing in the mall, with a suspect
description that matched the man they had apprehended,
police said.

World War II was a captivating conflict that you can spend
your entire life reading about, and the chances are still
likely you won't know everything or see everything that the
war had to offer in terms of knowledge.
It was a devastating conflict that resulted in the
destruction of many countries and the deaths of 60 million
people. From 1939 to 1945, 1 person died every 6 seconds
as a direct result of the war. The reasons for the war are
varied and complex. Instead, what we're going to do is just
find some of the really weird, bizarre, thought provoking
stuff that happened in the war that you have never heard
of, never thought about, or even thought was possible.
Did you know that M&Ms were basically invented for the war?
Yeah, they needed chocolate for the troops that didn't melt
easily in any climate. The eldest daughter of King George VI
of Great Britain, Elizabeth, served as a driver and mechanic
during the war. She, of course, became Queen Elizabeth II.
Or that more Chinese were killed by the Japanese during World
War II than Jews in the Holocaust?
My guess is not! Click the link for a list of the 15 Most
Bizarre Facts about WWII that were too crazy for the history

A zoo in Switzerland said an orangutan paternity test had
some surprising results when officials discovered the
mother and father are in different enclosures. The Basel
Zoo said officials carried out a DNA test on 5-month-old
orangutan Padma as part of an endangered species breeding
program, and they were surprised to discover the only male
in her enclosure, Budi, 14, was not her father. The test
found Padma's mother, Maja, had instead gotten pregnant
from Vendel, 18, a male orangutan in an adjacent enclosure.
Officials said the orangutans apparently managed to mate
through the holes in the fence separating their enclosure
(orangutan glory hole?). The zoo said Vendel is the
dominant male at the zoo and is the only of the facility's
three male orangutans to have cheek pads, which female
orangutans in the wild have been known to seek out when
they are in heat.
*--- Missed It By That Much ---*
A sinkhole that opened in the middle of a Florida road was
found to be caused by an underground tunnel pointing toward
a bank, the FBI said. The FBI said a crew from the Pembroke
Pines utility department was dispatched after the sinkhole
was reported in the middle of South Flamingo Road. "They
looked inside the hole and saw a power cord running toward
the wood line," FBI Special Agent Michael Leverock told
reporters. "At that time they called the Pembroke Pines
police department who showed up, went to the wood lines,
and noticed what looked the entrance to a tunnel." Leverock
said the tunnel was about 2 to 3 feet in diameter and
investigators found a winch, a generator, a bucket, digging
tools, a ladder, a stool and a pair of muddy boots nearby.
He said the FBI was contacted when police determined the
tunnel appeared to be pointing toward the nearby Chase bank.
"I would say it's an attempted burglary of the bank. They're
heading toward the ATM, I don't think they were doing that
for any other reason," Leverock said. Investigators said the
tunnel was incomplete and there were no burglaries at the
bank before the pathway was discovered. A cadaver-sniffing
dog and a remote controlled camera were used to verify that
there was no one inside the tunnel.
*--- Built Like a Sh%t Brick House ---*
An estimated 1.5 trillion bricks are produced globally every
year. That's a lot of bricks. And they take about 3.13
billion cubic meters of clay soil to make. You can imagine
the environmental impact of digging up 3.13 billion cubic
meters of clay soil every year. But researchers from
Australia's RMIT University have found an alternative for
a lot of that material: sh%t. 'Bio-solids' actually. It's
what is leftover once sewage is drained of water, treated,
and dried. Much of it is sent to landfills to rot, but
these Australian eggheads (of should I say, sh%theads) say
a whopping 15 percent of that bio-solid could go into brick
production which would reduce the carbon footprint of brick
manufacturing while satisfying all the environmental and
engineering requirements for bricks. Plus, bio-solid bricks
are more porous than standard bricks, making them better
insulators. So what do you think? Would you be comfortable
living in a sh%t brick house?
*--- 'French Spider-Man' Detained in Philippines ---*
A climber known as the "French Spider-Man" was detained by
police in the Philippines after climbing a high-rise
building without safety equipment. Alain Robert, 56, aka
the "French Spider-Man," was detained by police in Makati
after reaching the top of the 43-story GT International
Tower. Witnesses said it took Robert about an hour and a
half to compete the climb after starting on the ground at
11 a.m. Police said they are considering pressing charges
of trespassing or public disturbance. Robert said he
believes the police should release him without charges.
"There isn't any scandal. I know they're trying to charge
me for trespass, but for me, trespassing is entering into
the property, which I didn't," Robert told CNN Philippines.
Robert, who has been climbing buildings for about 20 years,
has been arrested around 120 times for similar unsanctioned
stunts. His previous climbs include Petronas Towers in
Kuala Lumpur and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

>Highway to Heaven
A cop pulls over a carload of nuns.
Cop: "Sister, this is a 65 MPH highway -- why are you
going so slow?"
Sister: "Sir, I saw a lot of signs that said 22, not 65."
Cop: "Oh sister, that's not the speed limit, that's the
name of the highway you're on!
Sister: Oh! Silly me! Thanks for letting me know. I'll be
more careful.
At this point the cop looks in the backseat where the other
nuns are shaking and trembling.
Cop: Excuse me, Sister, what's wrong with your friends back
there? They're shaking something terrible.
Sister: Oh, we just got off of highway 119.

"Oh Dear!" the doctor exclaimed in disbelief. "But, what
happened to your other ear?"
"The son-of-a-gun called back!"

Pauly walks into a bar and says "Bartender, one round for
everyone, on me!" The bartender says, "Well, Pauly, seems
you're in a really good mood tonight, eh?"
Pauly says, "Oh, you can bet on it! I just got hired by
the city to go around and remove all the money from parking
meters. I start on Monday!"
The bartender congratulates the man and proceeds to pour
the round.
Monday evening arrives. Pauly comes back into the bar and
says "Bartender, TWO rounds for everyone, on me!"
The bartender says, "Well now! If you're so happy just over
having this new job, I can just imagine how happy you'll
be when you get your first paycheck!"
Pauly looks at the bartender with a confused look on his
face, pulls out quite a handful of quarters from his pocket,
and says "You mean they'll PAY me on top of it?"

A prospective juror in a Dallas District Court was surprised
by the definition of voluntary manslaughter given the panel:
"An intentional killing that occurs while the defendant is
under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from
an adequate cause, such as when a spouse's mate is found in
a 'compromising position.'"
"See, I have a problem with that passion business," responded
the jury candidate. "During my first marriage, I came in and
found my husband in bed with my neighbor. All I did was
divorce him. I had no idea that I could have shot him."
She wasn't selected for the jury.

When our second child was on the way, my wife and I attended
a pre-birth class aimed at couples who had already had at
least one child. The instructor raised the issue of breaking
the news to the older child. It went like this:
"Some parents," she said, "tell the older child, 'We love
you so much we decided to bring another child into this
family.' But think about that. Ladies, what if your husband
came home one day and said, 'Honey, I love you so much I
decided to bring home another wife.'"
One of the women spoke up immediately. "Does she cook?"

A co-worker came to work one day wearing shoes that were
identical in style, only one was black and the other brown.
I quietly pointed this out to him. He smiled and said,
"Unusual, aren't they? Believe it or not, I've got another
pair just like this at home."

The heaviest element known to science is Managerium.
This element has no protons or electrons, but has a nucleus
made up of 1 neutron, 2 vice-neutrons, 5 junior vice-
neutrons, 25 assistant vice-neutrons, and 125 junior
assistant vice-neutrons all going round in circles.
Managerium has a half-life of three years, at which time it
does not decay but institutes a series of reviews leading to
reorganization.
Its molecules are held together by means of the exchange of
tiny particles known as morons.

You know how in first grade they used fruits to explain
stuff like "one banana plus two bananas make three bananas"?
Here's a list of high school math courses based on bananas:
-----
Algebra I - A
You have a negative banana (possibly made of antimatter).
Add two bananas to it and you get one banana.
Algebra I - B
You have a banana. Factor it, or solve for apples using the
quadratic formula.
Geometry
Prove: Bananas are not vegetables. Given: Bananas are fruits.
Algebra II
You have an imaginary banana. Square it, and you get one of
those weird anti-matter bananas. The student learns that
their dreams will become reality if they only raise them to
the fourth power.
Pre-Calculus
What is the cosecant of Pi over 2 bananas in a unit apple?
Calculus AB
The student learns to find the slope of a banana.
Calculus BC
The student learns to find the slope of a banana and also to
find the area under the banana.
