He replied, "It cuts off my circulation." She answered back, "It's supposed to!" -<>- What's the definition of an accountant? Someone who solves a financial problem you didn't know you had in a way you don't understand. -<>- >Wisdom from Grandpa - Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries. - Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt, that he forgets his sugar. - Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good. - When a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one. - If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never turn into an old nag. - On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past – but never the present. - The bonds of matrimony are a good investment, only when the interest is kept up. - Many girls like to marry a military man – he can cook, sew, and make beds, and is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders. - Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age, and start bragging about it. - The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. - Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved. - How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are? - When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, remember about Algebra. - I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top. - One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. - Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable. - Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you. - If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old. ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ September 9 is Teddy Bear Day September 10 is Sewing Machine Day and Swap Ideas Day September 11 is 9/11 Remembrance, Make Your Bed Day and No News is Good News Day September 12 is Chocolate Milk Shake Day and National Video Games Day September 13 is Defy Superstition Day, Fortune Cookie Day, Blame Someone Else Day and Chinese Moon Festival, Friday the 13th National Peanut Day, Positive Thinking Day and Uncle Sam Day - his image was first used in 1813 September 14 is International Crab Fest Day and National Cream-Filled Donut Day September 15 is Make a Hat Day, Felt Hat Day - On this day, men traditionally put away their felt hats, National Women's Friendship Day and Wife Appreciation Day ======================================================= >-->From GoodCleanFun: ____ || | ||___| _)__<__ _ _ |____|__|:|___|:|_ | |_.---._|___| _ | o| | | |_o_| | || |/| |\| | |_||____|`\___/'|___| V _/-\_ fsc >Check Your Bill A corporate executive received a monthly bill from the law firm that was handling a big case for his company. It included hourly billing for conferences, research, phone calls, fax, photocopying, and everything but lunch hours. Unhappy as he was, the executive knew that the company would have to pay for each of these services. Then he noticed one item buried in the middle of the list: "For crossing the street to talk to you, then discovering it wasn't you at all - $125." -<>- >Visual Acuity Test I was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity test. I placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and began. "Cover your right eye with your hand." He read the 20/20 line perfectly. "Now your left." Again, a flawless read. "Now both," I requested. There was silence. He couldn't even read the large E on the top line. I turned and discovered that he had done exactly what I had asked. He was standing there with both his eyes covered. I was laughing too hard to finish the exam. -<>- >First Apartment Our son lived at home all four of his undergraduate years. He moved out only when he went to grad school and got an apartment. The first time my husband and I went to see his new place, he greeted us, saying, "I'm glad to finally be the host." As we walked in the door, my husband whispered to me, "Instead of the parasite." -<>- >Left Behind A bus driver accidentally left a passenger behind after they had stopped for lunch. Wanting to apologize, the driver called the passenger on the phone. "I don't blame you," the woman told him, "but I'm mad at my husband for not informing you that I wasn't on the bus." -<>- >Dog Water When we take our dog on a car journey, we carry his drinking water in a gin bottle. On one occasion we stopped for lunch and let him out of the car. Pouring some water from the bottle into his bowl, I noticed a man watching with fascination. He came over to me and whispered, "I hope that you're not going to let him drive!" ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseAu :) _--_ _--_ _--_ _--_ _--_ _--_ _--_ _--_ ( )~~~( ) ( )~~~( ) ( )~~~( ) ( )~~~( ) \ / \ / \ / \ / ( ' _ ` ) ( ' _ ` ) ( ' _ ` ) ( ' _ ` ) \ / \ / \ / \ / .__( `-' ) ( `-' ) ( `-' ) .__( `-' ) ___ / ! `---' \ _--'`---_ .--`---'\ / /`---'`-' \ / \ ! / \___ / _>\ / / ._/ __ ! /\ ) / / ! \ / /-___-' ) /' /.-----\___/ / ) ! !_\ ).

Mrs. McFlannel announced "After twenty years of washing other people's stairs, I can throw my old scrubbing brush away at last." Her husband agreed - "Of course you can, hon. We can easily afford to buy you a new one now." ---------- John Smith lived in Staten Island, New York and worked in Manhattan. He had to take the ferryboat home every night. One evening, he got down to the ferry and found there was a wait for the next boat, so John decided to stop at a nearby tavern. Before long he was feeling no pain. When he got back to the ferry slip, the ferryboat was just eight feet from the dock. Smith, afraid of missing this one and being late for dinner, took a running leap and landed right on the deck of the boat. 'How did you like that jump, buddy?' said a proud John to a deck hand. 'It was great,' said the sailor. 'But why didn't you wait? We were just pulling in!' ---------- A blonde walks into Best Buy looking for a television. The salesman walks up to her and tells her that the store does not serve blondes. The next day the blonde walks back into Best Buy with a red wig and asks if she could buy the television, but the salesman says to her again, "We don't serve blondes." Disappointed, the blonde takes off her wig and asks the salesman how he knew she was a blonde. The salesman replies, "Because this is a microwave." ---------- Two Swedes - Sven & Ole got a pilot to fly them to Canada to hunt moose. They bagged six. As they started loading the plane for the return trip, the pilot said the plane could take only four moose. The two lads objected strongly, 'Last year we shot six and the pilot let us put them all on board; he had the same type plane as yours.' Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six were loaded. However, even on full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load and went down a few moments after take-off. Climbing out of the wreck Sven asked Ole, 'Any idea where we are?' 'Yaaah ai tink vi are pretty close to vere vi crashed last yer.' --- ...LOL! Thanks LouiseAu! -<>- .-""-. _ / _ \ _ /|) .'---""-.| /|) /|/ .' `. /|/ /|/ __/_ \ . /|/ /|/ .' `-. .8-. \\-/|/ /|/ J .--.

A little inexpensive baking soda and water will take out a wide variety of stains and save a lot of expensive repairs! Scroll down to find out some helpful uses. * Crayon marks on walls: Try applying baking soda/water paste on an old toothbrush and lightly brush the affected area. Water stains on wooden floors: Can be removed with a sponge dampened in a solution of baking soda dissolved in water. * Stains on porcelain sinks, toilets and plastics: Can be removed by applying a layer of baking soda and then using a damp sponge. This also works well on a water stain in a sink that couldn't be removed without the use of heavy duty chemicals and scratching the surface. * Coffee Mug Stains: Remove stains from coffee mugs by wiping mug with a wet cloth then rub the inside of the mug with bicarb. If the stains are stubborn, soak overnight in hot water and baking soda. * Crockpot Cleaner: Soak crock in warm water and bicarb before scrubbing for easier cleanup. Or you can make a paste with water, apply to stain and let set for a few hours. Spritz with water then scrub the paste to remove the stains. This also help remove sauce stains. -<>- _ _ / \ _ _ / \ | " \ _ _ / " | \ " \ / " / `-. | | ,-' >-._|,---.|_,-< (_`/ \'_) | o ___ o | \ ,-' `-. / | . | . | | ._____, | __,- `-------' -.__ ,-' `-. | ,' `. | `-._,-' `-._,-' / \ /,--. ,--.\ __|_ \ / _|__ / ` \ / ' \ \ /-----\ / hjm`-.__,-' `-.__,-' >Bread Have you ever read the ingredients on a bag of bread? The preservatives and chemicals that go into commercial bread- making (especially white bread) are not just hazardous to the environment but they are not very good or you either! In the manufacture of white flour, manufacturers first remove the wheat seed's bran and the germ which contains 76 percent of the vitamins and minerals and 97 percent of the dietary fiber. Then it gets worse. What little is left is then bleached, preserved and aged with chlorine dioxide. It is further whitened by adding chalk, alum and ammonium carbonate to make it look and feel more appealing to the consumer. An anti-salting agent called sorbitan mono-saturate is added in the final stage. A few synthetic nutrients are then added back into the white flour and it is then called 'enriched.' Remember, the more ingredients, especially chemicals, in your food the worse it is for you, usually. But how can you guarantee that what you're eating is healthy and all natural? Why not make your bread at home! You don't have to spend hours making dough and sitting next to an oven waiting for your bread to bake. A decent, automatic bread maker will cost you between $100 and $150. And you can find quality used or refurbished bread makers for even cheaper! Being small enclosed units, modern bread makers are quite efficient in terms of electricity. You can also buy ready-made bread mixes that even eliminate the need to prepare your own dough (unless you want to make it for fun). There is a wide range of organic bread mixes available for people who are cautious about both health and environmental concerns. One of the other great advantages of baking your own bread using pre-mixes is the shelf life of the mix; it will keep for months! You are even using less packaging, as you can reuse one bread bag over and over again. Plus, it's just plain fun! -<>- >Go Green' Hint: Borrow instead of buying or shop secondhand. It's really easy to run out and buy brand new things that you can easily borrow or get secondhand. You can rent movies, or check out books and DVDs from the library. Or if you want to own it, check out secondhand stores where you will even save a little money. -<>- Cleaning your oven can be a dirty, messy job. And while it can be made a little faster by using commercial oven cleaners these cleaners contain chemicals which can very literally kill not to mention being extremely harmful to the environment in a number of different ways. Why not try a more Earth friendly alternative? Scroll down and try this home-made method. * Coat oven surfaces in a paste of water and baking soda and let stand overnight, then scrub off. Washing Soda or sodium carbonate (a little different to baking soda which is sodium bicarbonate) is a naturally occurring mineral that can also be used. * If water and sodium carbonate doesn't quite work on your oven mess you can try this alternative method. 2 tablespoons liquid soap + 2 teaspoons borax + warm water, spray on, allow to sit for a while and then scrub off. * Just remember that not using toxic chemicals that would burn your skin off or your eyes out means that it will take a little more time and probably require a little more elbow grease. --- ...Place an old cookie sheet on the bottom of the oven... If you are like me, bending into the oven to scrub it is not an easy task. I have knee and leg issues so I place an old cookie sheet on the bottom of my oven so that it doesn't cover any flames or burners. This helps lengthen times between oven cleaning. It catches all drips or droppings while I am baking. I just easily remove it and clean it at the sink when it gets dirty like I do any other pan and replace it back into the oven. For times I must clean the oven, I use a mop to wipe it out after letting it sit to clean or using a commercial cleaner. The mop can also be used to dry the inside of it easily as well. ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: Record 157,878,000 Employed in August https://tinyurl.com/y5ptdxzb NYT Best Seller List Slammed After Revelations It Tweaked Rankings To Favor Michelle Obama https://tinyurl.com/y4vfycu8 Trump Slams Media After August Jobs Report Released https://tinyurl.com/yy3s8ha2 New Info On Odessa Shooter Destroys Dem's Anti-Gun Narrative https://tinyurl.com/yxe9z6sq Officials In ‘Sanctuary’ County Lash Out At Conservative Media For Reporting On String Illegal Alien S Crimes https://tinyurl.com/y5bpsnct Facebook Shadow Bans Pro-Life Group https://tinyurl.com/y2uz5m3l Westwing News: President Trump’s Plan to Stem Border Crossings Gets Results https://www.whitehouse.gov/westwingreads/ WhiteHouseNews:Private Sector Adds More Jobs Than Expected in August https://www.whitehouse.gov/1600daily/ Latest From AFA: http://tinyurl.com/j7lakqw Students For Life https://tinyurl.com/yd5nxmu6 Latest From OperationRescue: http://www.operationrescue.org/ Latest Product Alert: Soups, Spices, Hamburger Buns http://www.emergencyemail.org/products/?fmt=text Latest Health Alert: Foreign Matter found in Bread http://www.emergencyemail.org/health/?fmt=text Click to Give Free https://tinyurl.com/y2abb8d2 -<>- >From BizarreNews: Emma Heinrich said her 2-year-old French bulldog, Winston, went running up the stairs of her Manhattan apartment building and bounded onto the roof, where he was unable to stop before reaching the ledge. "I kind of watched him reach the edge and try to slow himself down, but it was too late and he just tumbled over the edge," Heinrich reported. It was one of the most terrifying moments that I've experienced. It was really, really scary. The 3 seconds between him going over the edge and him making impact was ... felt like hours. Heinrich said she ran down to the street, expecting to recover the lifeless body of her 30-pound pet, but she was in for another shock when she made it outside. "He was just up, sitting on the driver's seat. Just kind of, like, heavily panting but just looking around at everyone staring at him. Everyone was like, 'Is this your dog?' And I was like, 'Yeah.' I was almost, couldn't speak for a minute because I was in shock and awe that he was seemingly so OK," Heinrich said. Winston had crashed through the car's sunroof, sustaining only minor injuries. He received some stitches at the local vet and was sent home. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around the astronomical odds of him walking away from this fall with nothing more than a few cuts and scratches," Heinrich said. Heinrich said she and her husband have offered to pay to have the car's sunroof repaired. *--- Airline Allows Horsing Around ---* A miniature horse that caught an American Airlines flight with its owner is going viral after surprised fellow passengers shared their amusement on social media. Evan Nowak recorded video aboard the flight from Chicago to Omaha showing the mini horse calmly sitting near the front of the plane. "At this time we would like to begin boarding with any active duty military, families traveling with children under the age of 3 and horses," Nowak tweeted. The horse, named Flirty, is a service animal belonging to passenger Abrea Hensley, who chronicles the equine's adventures on an Instagram page titled "Flirty the Mini Service Horse." American Airlines' regulations stipulate mini horses are among the animals allowed on flights if they are service animals. *--- 73-Tear-Old Woman Gives Birth to Twins --- * An Indian woman who gave birth to twin girls is believed to be the oldest person to ever give birth after having the babies at the age of 73. Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, from Andhra Pradesh, had twins via C-section, and experts said the successful delivery makes her the oldest person on record to have successfully given birth. Dr. Sanakayyala Umashankar, the director of Ahalya IVF, said Mangayamma and her husband, E. Raja Rao, 80, have been together since 1962, but were unable to conceive through natural means. Umashankar said the couple sought assistance from his clinic in 2018 and he agreed to give them a round of IVF treatment when initial tests showed signs of possible success. "The surgery went well ... the mother and the babies are all healthy with no complications," Umashankar said. "We are not allowing the mother to breastfeed and the babies will be fed through the milk bank." *--- Who Doesn't Like the Smell of Barbecue? ---* Who doesn't like the smell of barbecue? This woman, and she has taken her complaint all the way to the Australian supreme court. A vegan woman has filed a suit against her neighbors after complaining about the smell of meat and fish emanating from their barbecues. Cilla Carden took her case to the Supreme Court of Western Australia, citing her neighbors' barbecuing, smoking and children playing basketball, among other complaints. "It's deliberate," Carden accused. "All I can smell is fish. I can't enjoy my backyard." A lower court threw out the case in February. Carden had filed nearly 600 pages of documents in her appeal of the case, "well in excess of anything that might be thought to be proportionate to the issues," said Supreme Court Chief Justice Peter Quinlan to the West Australian. "I'm a good person. I just want peace and quiet," she reported, saying that she intends to continue the legal fight. *--- Here's One Bear Who Does Not Go In The Woods ---* A Montana hotel and restaurant called in wildlife authorities for help when a young black bear wandered into the building and took a rest in the bathroom. Buck's T-4 Lodge & Restaurant in Big Sky posted a video to Facebook showing the bear that crawled through the window and took up residence inside a bathroom. The hotel contacted Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks game wardens and Gallatin County Sheriff's Office deputies to come remove the bear. Authorities said the bear was tranquilized and will be released in an area safely away from the hotel. ========================================================= >-->From TheGroaner: .--. .--. .' ..'. .'..

Once I called on customers who sent their seven-year-old son to pay me. As he approached the screen door, I noticed he was carrying a check in one hand and two dollars in the other, which I assumed was my tip. To my dismay, he pocketed the bills before handing me the check, which was for the exact cost of the pizza. "Could that have been a tip?" I asked, trying not to sound accusatory. "Yep," he replied proudly. "not bad for just a walk from the living room and back!" -<>- We had to have our garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a large enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, "NO, it's not. Four is larger than two." We haven't used Sears repair since. -<>- When our ship stopped in the Atlantic Ocean for a 'swim call,' the chief boatswain noticed how nervous I was. "Don't worry," he assured me.

This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again. -<>- When we decided to sell our house, we nailed "FOR SALE BY OWNER" signs on two trees in our front yard. Before long, the doorbell rang. "How much do you want for the trees?" a young man asked. -<>- A woman visited a psychic of some local repute. In a dark and gloomy room, gazing at the Tarot cards laid out before her, the Tarot reader delivered the bad news: "There is no easy way to say this so I'll just be blunt: Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent death this year." Visibly shaken, the woman stared at the psychic's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She simply had to know. She met the Tarot reader's gaze, steadied her voice and asked, "Will I get away with it?" -<>- The Ten Commandments display was recently removed from the Alabama Supreme Court building. There was a good reason for the move. You can't post Thou Shalt Not Steal, Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery, and Thou Shall Not Lie in a building full of lawyers and politicians without creating a hostile work environment. -<>- I began thinking about my own mortality after I became a widow. One day my daughter called home from college, and I announced to her, "I think it's time for us to talk about where I would like to be buried." "It's way too soon to even think of anything like that," she snapped indignantly. Then there was a brief silence. "Wait a minute, did you say married or buried?" When I repeated buried, she said, "Oh, okay, sure." -<>- ,odOO"bo, ,dOOOP'dOOOb, ,O3OP'dOO3OO33, P",ad33O333O3Ob ?833O338333P",d `88383838P,d38' `Y8888P,d88P' `"?8,8P"' felix lee One day while jogging, a middle-aged man noticed a tennis ball lying by the side of the walk. Being fairly new and in good condition, he picked the ball up, put it in his pocket and proceeded on his way. Waiting at the cross street for the light to change, he noticed a young woman standing next to him smiling. Noticing the rather distinct bulge she asked, "What do you have in your pocket?" "Tennis ball," the man said, smiling back. "Wow!" said the woman looking upset. "That must hurt. I once had tennis elbow and the pain was terrible!" ========================================================= >-->From ScreamOfTheCrop: __ __ `. | | .j-j. _/_____\_ "=========" .':":':':`:`. .'.':`:`: :':`.`. .',.-- .-"""-..--..`. :`:((""' `""))`.: : ':Y Y: ': ':`:| / \ |:`:: '::`| O.-.O |:'`: :`:`:\ /(_)\ /:'::`: ' : :`_`. \ | / .'`: : : `: : / \`-`o'-'`: ,: : ` : '`:/ \ \.`: `: ' : | | ; | \.`: : : | \ _:_| |: :`: , : : \ \ : | \ . : : . .`\ \ | \ : : : : .|`. \ | \ : : : \.-| | |`. \: : : :,-'_.\ /`-.j_| |: : It was the morning after the consummation of the marriage of two senior citizens.

"Is that your grandmother?" I asked. "Yes, "Chris said. "She's come to visit us for Christmas." "How nice," I said. "Where does she live?" "At the airport," Chris replied.

The birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground. The potatoes cook underground, and all you have to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper. Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs. You eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off. You can make instant sun tea. You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron. The temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly. You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car. You discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window. You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of walking distance. Hot water now comes out of both taps. It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets. You actually burn your hand opening the car door. You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30am before work. Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?" You discover that asphalt has a liquid state. Your radiator is overheating before you even start your car. The thermometer in the lid of your Bar-B-Que Grill shows 150 degrees F, before you light it. You need sunscreen just to go check the mailbox. Hot air balloons can't rise because the outside air is hotter than the air inside the balloon. Fabric is considered the deluxe interior, rather than stick-to-your- butt leather. The trees are bribing the dogs. I saw a dog chasing a rabbit and they were both walking. The corn growing in the field is already popped. Tail-gating no longer requires a grill to cook the brats; just lay them on the car hood. The cows are giving evaporated milk. A sad Hoosier once prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much for me, cuz I've seen it, but for my 7-year-old..."

Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving. 2. Having one child makes you a parent; having two you are a referee. 3. Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is the husband! 4. I believe we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried, but they wanted cash. 5. A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school uniforms. 6. Don't feel bad. A lot of people have no talent. 7. Don't marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live without, but whatever you do, you'll regret it later. 8. You can't buy love, but you pay heavily for it. 9. Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote. 10. Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired. 11. Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway. 12. My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me. 13. Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others. 14. Ladies first. Pretty ladies sooner. 15. A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. 16. You're getting old when you enjoy remembering things more than doing them. 17. It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss. 18. Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books. 19. Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you. 20. Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something 21. They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak! 22. Why do couples hold hands during their wedding? It's a formality just like two boxers shaking hands before the fight begins! 23. Wife: Darling today is our anniversary, what should we do? Husband: Let us stand in silence for 2 minutes. 24. It's funny when people discuss Love Marriage vs Arranged. It's like asking someone, if suicide is better or being murdered. 25. There is only one perfect child in the world and every mother has it. 27. There is only one perfect wife in the world and every neighbor has it! ========================================================= >-->FUN Places To Net Visit Wedding Fails!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/weddingfails.html Awesome Bikes!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/awesomebikes.html Humorous Ads 2!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/humorad2.html Fun With Statues!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/funstatues.html Only In Australia!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/australia.html Humor With Cars!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/carhumor.html Extreme US Spas! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/topspas.html Trucks! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/trucks.html World's Fastest Cars! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/fastcars.html Designer Toilet Paper! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/designertp.html Awesome Tree Houses! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/treehouses.html Amazing Dog Houses 2! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/doghouses2.html Unique Designer Shoes! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/shoes.html Cell Phone Madness!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/cellphone.html Life's Little Oops 13!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/whoops13.html Got A Nanosecond 5!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/nano5.html Classic Chevy Collection! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/chevy.html USA 9/11 AND TROOPS INDEX!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/911andtroopsindex.html SUMMER INDEX! https://tinyurl.com/y4xyz2w8 -<>- >From Our Friend LouiseAu :) Unedited D-Day Footage - June 6, 1944 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPnEZt71sZA Jon Dorenbos mystifies the judges and audience of America's Got Talent 2019 with unbelievable magic. https://youtu.be/yeYvdijgK-M Magicians and Illusionists Craig Christian and Elizabeth Best perform live at the French television show The World's Greatest Cabaret, hosted by Patrick Sebastien. https://vimeo.com/213247140 Sophie Edelstein performs her incredible magic at the French television show 'The World's Greatest Cabaret.' https://youtu.be/zAvYcsll3cg --- ...Wow!
