Until, that is, the day I overheard the four-year-old tell the three-year-old, "If you pretend you're asleep, he stops." -<>- >Sidewalks For years my husband and I had complained bitterly about the lack of sidewalks in our small town, observing often that if only we had sidewalks, we would walk daily and become models of fitness. So we were thrilled when a community sidewalk project was announced, and watched eagerly as paving neared completion. Then wishful thinking and reality collided. "Well, dear," my husband said. "What'll we use as an excuse for not walking now?" -<>- >How Many Children? I was blessed with three beautiful, intelligent and terrific children. When they were seven, six and five, my youngest daughter who was always asking questions, came home from kindergarten one day and asked, "Daddy, how many children did you want?" Thinking for a minute, I looked at her and said, "Two."

Turning to the others at the table, he asked if there was anything else they would like to see him pick up. "Yes," said his friend.

During the middle of the meal, their two young children walked into the dining room. The children proceeded to walk slowly around the dinner table wearing nothing but their birthday suits. Although a little perturbed, the parents decided to ignore them and carried on with the meal and conversation. The friends did likewise and ignored the children. The children finished their round trip and proceeded out of the room. From the hallway, a giggle was heard and a little voice proclaimed, "See, I told you it was vanishing cream! ---------- An auto mechanic received a repair order that read: "Check for clunking sound when going around corners." Taking the car out for a test drive, he made a right turn, and a moment later he heard a "clunk." He then made a left turn and again heard a "clunk." Back at the shop he opened the car's trunk, and soon discovered the problem. Promptly he returned the repair order to the service manager with the notation, "Removed bowling ball from trunk". ------- Two older, successful businessmen met at a resort. One who had recently retired was describing his life, "I get up late in the morning, have a light breakfast and then I lie down on my veranda for a few hours and relax. In the afternoon I go inside for lunch, have a great salad, fruits and cold fish, then I spend the rest of the afternoon boating or playing golf or tennis... When it starts to get dark I have a great dinner with the finest wines. I smoke a Cuban cigar. Then I go lie on my veranda again." The other gentleman acknowledges that this is a life to be envied. Later he reported the conversation to his wife. She asked, "What's his wife's name?" Her husband said, "I'm not sure, but I think it's Veranda." ---------- Thanksgiving day was approaching and the family had received a Thanksgiving card with a painting of a pilgrim family on their way to church. Grandma showed the card to her small grandchildren, observing: "The Pilgrim children liked to go to church with their mothers and fathers." "Oh yeah?" her young grandson replied, "so why is their dad carrying that rifle?" ---------- I had a dream the other night. I was in the old West riding in a stagecoach. Suddenly, a man riding a horse pulls up to the left side of the stagecoach, and a riderless horse pulls up on the right. The man leans down, pulls open the door, and jumps off his horse into the stagecoach. Then he opens the door on the other side and jumps onto the other horse. Just before he rode off, I yelled out, "What was all that about?" He replied, "Nothing. It's just a stage I'm going through." ---------- I had purchased a talking metronome while I was attending a conference in New York for music teachers. Before my son and I boarded our flight home, I hefted my carry-on bag onto the security-check conveyor belt. The guard's eyes widened as he watched the monitor. He asked what I had in the bag, then slowly pulled out the six-by-three-inch black box covered with dials and switches. Other travelers, sensing trouble, vacated the area. "A metronome," I replied weakly, as my son cringed in embarrassment. "It's a talking metronome," I insisted. "Look, I'll show you." I took the box and flipped a switch, realizing that I had no idea how it worked, "One... two... three... four," it said. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As we gathered our belongings, my son whispered, "Aren't you glad it didn't go 'four... three... two... one...?'" ---------- A man owned a small farm in Iowa. The State of Iowa Wage and Hour Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him. "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent. "Well, there's my hired hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 a month plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit that works here about 18 hours a day. He makes $10 a week and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every week," replied the farmer. "That's the guy I want to talk to; the half-wit," says the agent. The farmer says, "That would be me." ------- Our co-worker kept trying to get her mother to fly out for a visit. "No way am I getting on an airplane," was the in- evitable answer. "Look, Mom, when it's your time to go, it doesn't matter if you're on the ground or in the air." "I know," said her mother. "I just don't want to be that far off the ground when it's the pilot's time to go." ---------- Man goes to a hitman and asks him to kill his wife. Hitman: Sure, but it will be 10K Man: OK, but I want to know how you are going to kill her? Hitman: I will use just one shot just below her left breast. Man: That's no good, I want her dead, not hit in the kneecap. ------- / \ _(I)(I)_ ( _ .. _ ) `.`--'.' ) ( ,-./ \,-.

He gets out and takes the frog and carries him to the side of the road. The frog is grateful, thanks the man and tells him that he will grant him a wish. The man says, "Please make my dog win the next dog race." The frog asks to look at the dog, which limps out of the car. The frog notices that the dog only has three legs, is very fat, and can barely move at all so he tells the man that he thinks it is almost impossible to fulfill his wish and asks that the man will tell him another wish. The man says, "Well, then please make my wife win the next beauty contest in the area." The frog asks him to tell his wife to get out of the car. Wife comes out of the car and approaches the frog. __ --~~--_ _--~~--__ _-~ \---/ ~-_ /~ __--~~\ /~~--__ ~\ / _-~~ | | ~~-_ \ | /~ | | ~\ | | / O | | O \ | | | | | | | \ \_ _/ \_ _/ / ~-_~--___--~ b d ~--___--~_-~ / ~~--- _________ ---~~ \ / ~~--- _________ ---~~ \ / __---~~~~ ~~~~---__ \ _-~~ ~~-_ /~ ~\ (_-~ ~-_) \ / _-~-_ _-~-_ / ~~--___ ___--~~ \ / ~~~~-------~~~~ \ | | | | _ | | _ _-~ ~-| / \ |-~ ~-_ / | | | | \ ( | | | | ) \ ~-| | | |-~ / ~-_ | | | | _-~ ~-_ \ \ / / _-~ ~-_/ ) ( \_-~ _-~ (~-_ _-~) ~-_ ( _ \ ~~--___ _-_ __--~~ / _ ) _-~ ~-_ ) ~~~ ~~~ ( _-~ ~-_ ( _-~/ |\ )--~~ ~~--( /| \~-_ ) ( | ~-~ ~-~ | ) unknown The frog turns to the man and says, "Could I please have another look at the dog?" --- ...TeeHee!

His assistant walked up to him and said, 'This morning when you left your house, did you close your garage door?' The boss told her he knew he'd closed the garage door, and walked into his office puzzled by the question. As he finished his paperwork, he suddenly noticed his fly was open, and zipped it up. He then understood his assistant's question about his 'garage door.' He headed out for a cup of coffee and paused by her desk to ask, 'When my garage door was open, did you see my Jaguar parked in there?' She smiled and said, 'No, I didn't. All I saw was an old minivan with two flat tires.' -<>- I have always dreaded old age. I cannot imagine anything worse than being old. How awful it must be to have nothing to do all day long but stare at the walls or watch TV. So last week, when we all celebrated Senior Citizen Week it was suggested we all cheer up a senior citizen. | ,' `. / \ /-,-,-,-,-\ | J .--. | / oo \/ / -- | < \ / [] `--' || /''\ I decided to do just that. I would call on my new neighbor, an elderly retired gentleman, recently widowed, and who, I presumed, had moved in with his married daughter because he was too old to take care of himself. I baked a batch of cookies, and, without bothering to call (some old people cannot hear the phone), I went off to brighten this old guy's day. When I rang the doorbell this "old guy" came to the door dressed in tennis shorts and a polo shirt, looking about as ancient and decrepit as Donny Osmond. "I'm sorry I can't invite you in," he said when I introduced myself, "but I'm due at the Racquet Club at two. I'm playing in the semifinals today." "Oh that's all right," I said. "I baked you some cookies..." "Great!" he interrupted, snatching the box. "Just what I need for bridge club tomorrow! Thanks so much!" I continued, "...and just thought we'd visit a while. But that's okay! I'll just trot across the street and call on Granny Grady." "Don't bother," he said. "Gran's not home; I know. I just called to remind her of our date to go dancing tonight. She may be at the beauty shop. She mentioned that at breakfast that she had an appointment for a tint job." So I went home and called my Mother's cousin (age 83); She was in the hospital ... working in the gift shop. I called my aunt (age 74); but she was on vacation in China. I called my husband's uncle (age 79). I forgot;...... he was on his honeymoon. So now I dread old age more than ever. I just don't think I'm up to it! --- ...Oh My! LOL!

A magazine article published by Duke Energy, one of the largest electric utilities in the country, took aim at the clock-changing law, which was updated just over a decade ago by a 2005 energy bill. It pointed out a number of adverse health effects that are a side effect of using 0.5 percent less energy per day as a result of gaining an hour of sunlight. Studies published over the last decade on the effects of daylight saving time "have found that the time change interrupts sleep cycles, causing fatigue, lack of productivity and sadness," the article added. Even worse, medical studies showed that daylight saving time also can lead to death. "Other studies show that the number of heart attacks spikes in the days following the March time change, and after the November time change, the frequency of heart attacks decreases." So try to avoid stress and overexertion in the days following - It's just not worth your life. -<>- An ex-employee who was angry about being fired, used his car to run over his boss, according to police in Florida. Police said that they have arrested 52-year-old Irelio Reyes Osorio, after being accused of running his boss over with his car several times in an attempt to kill him. According to the criminal complaint, Osorio wanted to collected money for two days of work. Osorio sent his boss numerous text messages, in which he threatened to use a weapon, a machete or a knife to kill him. At some point, the boss and Osorio agreed to meet at a coffee shop. That was a mistake. When they arrived, Osorio attacked his boss with a knife and began to chase him through a parking lot before cutting him in the chest and left arm. The victim then threw a rock at Osorio, and took the knife out of his hands. Both men returned to their vehicles, but Osorio continued the attack against his employer. Surveillance video shows Osorio ramming into his employer's truck. Osorio then drove away, dragging a fence behind his truck. Osorio then turned around his vehicle and accelerated toward the victim. The employer managed to jump out of the way at the last moment. In another attempt, a fence blocked the suspect from completely running over his boss. The employer was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. Osorio has been charged with one count of attempted first- degree murder. *----- Lesson: Don't Nap on Railroad Tracks -----* A Georgia teenager decided to take a rest after a leisurely afternoon walk by draping his legs over some railroad tracks, putting on his headphones and closing his eyes. The results were just as bad as you expect. He was struck by a train and lost both of his legs. Officer Andy Blimline who was the first on the scene, said that he found 17-year-old Jacob Ohl conscious despite his severe injuries. Blimline said that he soon realized that the teen's legs are no longer attached to his body. Ohl was rushed to a hospital, but doctors were unable to reattach his legs. The teenager told police that he did not intend to hurt himself when he sat down on the tracks. Ohl is a senior in high school and plays for the school orchestra jazz band. His instrument: stand-up bass. *-- Lesson: Drugs Are OK If You Have Upper Body Strength --* A teenage boy got a break from a police officer who allowed him to do push-ups instead of going to jail, according to police in Texas. Arlington police Officer Eric Ball, gave a choice to the 17-year-old boy who was caught smoking pot, to do push-ups or go to jail for possession of marijuana. The boy choice to do push-ups. The boy was allowed to walk free after doing 200 push-ups. A passerby recorded the boy doing the push-ups, and the video was uploaded to Facebook, where it went viral. The mother of the boy, who was not identified, praised the officer for giving her teen the choice of push-ups instead of going to jail. She added that she would force her teen to do even more push-ups in order for him to learn his lesson about smoking pot in public. He should keep that at home like a responsible pothead. *--------- Chris Columbus Can Suck It ---------* South African watersport pro Chris Bertish has just achieved a world first: he crossed the Atlantic solo, unassisted and unsupported, on a stand-up paddle board. The big-wave surfer and Guinness World Record holder crossed 4,500 nautical miles, setting off from Agadir, Morocco, on December 6 and arriving at English Harbour, Antigua, on the morning of March 9. Bertish's stand-up paddleboard is a custom-made, 1,360-pound, 20-foot-long vessel fitted with a tiny cabin and solar panels. For 93 days Bertish has paddled the equivalent of a marathon a day. Along the way he also set the record for the furthest distance traveled solo, unsupported and unassisted over open ocean in a day (71.96 miles). *----------------- Land Shark -----------------* A Walmart manager called police after finding a large shark in one of the store's shopping carts, according to police in Florida. A St. Johns County Sheriff's Office deputy said that he contacted them, after seeing the dead shark in the parking of the Walmart store. While the manager was inspecting the store's parking lot she came across the shopping cart and saw the dead shark inside. The manager did not want to throw the dead shark in the garbage so she called police. Police questioned a man who had parked an RV in the store's parking lot near where the dead shark was found. He told police that when he woke up in the morning, he noticed the dead shark on the hood of his vehicle. He did not know who placed it there. Before leaving to work, the man placed the shark on the ground. ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: ,-. | .| _ __ _ : ` :;__ :| :_`:():._..----,' `:` ,',-.' ; ,' `..' ` _,' ` | ( `-.) / /. ` . ` ,' ,'\ |,'`-.) / /__....---- ,' : | , / ``--..__ ` ' ` |` ;__ ,'/ `.``-.,.--''; .--.',' _.>. `. `,',\ `.,' ,'` > ,',''-` `-' \__,,','.' , ' ,' / '.-' ,',' ,: |.`-. ,' ,'/: `.`-',' / /\_)-' ,' ,'`-' , ,' SSt A group of junior-level executives were participating in a management training program. The seminar leader pounded home his point about the need to make decisions and take action on these decisions. "For instance," he said, "if you had five frogs on a log and three of them decided to jump, how many frogs would you have left on the log?" The answers from the group were unanimous: "Two." "Wrong," replied the speaker, "there would still be five because there is a difference between deciding to jump and jumping." -<>- As one of relatively few female airline pilots, I've often been mistaken for a flight attendant, ticket agent or even a snack-bar employee. Occasionally people will see me in uniform and ask if I'm a "real" pilot. Still others congratulate me for making it in a male-dominated field. One day, I was in the restroom before a flight. I was at the sink, brushing my teeth, when a woman walked through the door and looked over at me. "My sister would be so proud of you!" she remarked. "Oh, is your sister an airline pilot too?"

One of their sons gave a loving toast, finishing with, "and thank you for having such a beautiful marriage." "Thank you for making it necessary," the father joked. In the silence that followed, his wife whispered, "Not him. He's the second son." -<>- Two friends meet in the street. The one man looked rather forlorn and down in the mouth. The other man asked, "Hey, how come you look like the whole world caved in?" The sad fellow said, "Let me tell you. Three weeks ago, an uncle died and left me ten thousand dollars." "I'm sorry to hear about the death, but a bit of good luck for you, eh?" "Hold on, I'm just getting started. Two weeks ago, a cousin I never knew kicked the bucket and left me twenty thousand, free and clear." "Well, you can't be disappointed with that!" "Yep. But, last week my grandfather passed away. I inherited almost one hundred thousand dollars." "Incredible... so how come you look so glum?"

Put your best .3 of a meter forward. Spare the 5.03 meters and spoil the child. Twenty-eight grams of prevention is worth 453 grams of cure. Give a man 2.5 centimeters and he'll take 1.6 kilometers.

This is not a trick question. It is as it reads. No one I know has gotten it right. A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be her dream guy so much, that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister. Question: What was her motive for killing her sister? [ Give this some thought before you answer] . . . . . . . . Answer: She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again. If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly. If you didn't answer the question correctly, good for you. If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take you off my email list. --- ..Wow! OR maybe you've seen this one before! Thanks Geniann! -<>- A husband, proving to his wife that women talk more than men, showed her a study which indicated that men use about 15,000 words a day, whereas women use 30,000 words a day. She thought about this, then told her husband that women use twice as many words as men because they have to repeat everything they say. Looking stunned, he said, “What?” -<>- What Do You Want For Dinner? __________________________________________/ ------------------------------------------| | | |~~~~~~~~~~| | | | | *| *|Bless this|* |* | | |_____|_____| ~Home~ |______|______|____| ___________ | _______ | | `| ((()) || || | |] ))o o(( ||_______|| |__________| ((\-/)) |_________| | | /\\_//\ |_==___==_| | ]__.-- //(_ _)\\ ____|_________| "Fried Tiger!" --- \\\ /// ----|oo o oo| | / | | (// \\) *__|| _______ | | / \\\\| | * /_____\ _*__||| || | ))) ( oo| |_____| | | | __*__|||_______|| | ( oo \o/|________ | | | ______|_________| |_ \o/ // \| |_|_| // \ \\_| \ (_) (_) \\_| (||| \ //\\ ||| "No, Rhinocerri Roast!" (_)(_)(_)_) >EATING IN THE FIFTIES/SIXTIES Pasta had not been invented. It was macaroni or spaghetti. Curry was a surname. A take-away was a mathematical problem. Oranges only appeared at Christmas time. All chips were plain. Oil was for lubricating, fat was for cooking. Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves and never green. Cubed sugar was regarded as posh. Chickens didn't have fingers in those days. None of us had ever heard of yogurt. Healthy food consisted of anything edible. Cooking outside was called camping. Seaweed was not a recognized food. 'Kebab' was not even a word, never mind a food. Sugar enjoyed a good press in those days, and was regarded as being white gold. Prunes were medicinal. Surprisingly muesli was readily available. It was called cattle feed. Pineapples came in chunks in a tin; we had only ever seen a picture of a real one. Water came out of the tap. If someone had suggested bottling it and charging more than gasoline for it, they would have become a laughing stock. The one thing that we never, ever, had on/at our table in the fifties was elbows, hats and cell phones! --- ...HaHa! So true!

In fairness, I celebrated 'A Day Without Women' all through my 20s." -Conan O'Brien "Hasbro announced they are making a new version of Monopoly to appeal to a younger generation. That means it won't come with any cash, so you'll have to borrow some from your parents' Monopoly set." -Jimmy Fallon "A man in Austria yesterday tried to enter a court with a bag of cockroaches. 'Get those horrible creatures out of here!' said the cockroaches about the lawyers." -Seth Meyers "One of the biggest viral sensations right now is a YouTube livestream of a pregnant giraffe waiting to give birth. The cutest part is when she tells the father giraffe, 'You did this to me, now put down that %$#@ camera.'" -Conan O-Brien "President Trump last night announced the creation of a department called VOICE, which will deal specifically with crimes committed against Americans by immigrants. Not to be confused with 'The Voice,' which deals with crimes against music committed by teenagers." -Seth Meyers "Snapchat's IPO launched on the stock market yesterday. Or, to put it another way, something that your parents don't understand just launched on something YOU don't understand." -Jimmy Fallon "A huge document leak has exposed shady financial dealings involving famous people like Vladimir Putin and Jackie Chan. I don't know about you but I smell a buddy movie." -Conan O'Brien "A man in New Orleans could be facing a life sentence for stealing $31 worth of candy from a drug store. I feel for this guy. That has got to be a tough conversation once you're in prison. 'Yeah, I'm in for armed robbery and arson, what about you?' 'Oh, you know, the new peanut butter Twix.'" -James Corden "A woman was arrested after she admitted to purchasing gasoline, driving to her ex-boyfriend's house, and using it to set his new girlfriend's car on fire. She's now facing five years in prison and up to three Country Music Awards." -Seth Meyers "In the U.K., a group of scientists successfully taught bumblebees how to play soccer. And now, they're trying to get American bumblebees to watch it." -Conan O-Brien "A 100-year-old Dutch woman recently persuaded local police to arrest her to fulfill an item on her bucket list. Cool story for her, not so much for the victims of her double homicide." -Seth Meyers "The tax deadline is about five weeks away. And this year, because of all the budget cuts at the IRS, the odds of getting audited are lower than they've been in 13 years. In other words, there has never been a better time to claim your Chihuahua as a dependent." -Jimmy Kimmel >Updated FUN STUFF URLS - Oh Yeah :) Shangy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/urls.html FUN URLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -->FULL LENGTH - FREE On line AUDIO MP3 Christian Foundational Class http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=61 NEW LIFE IN CHRIST! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -->This is for all you who love food and DARE to make it at home Yep.
