"My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?" "Is, Senor, that's the one." "Darn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?" "From eating the rotten meat, Senor Rod." "Rotten meat? Who the heck fed him rotten meat?" "Nobody, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse." "Dead horse? What dead horse?" "The thoroughbred, Senor Rod." "My prize thoroughbred is dead?" "Yes, Senor Rod, he died from all that work pulling the water cart." "Are you insane? What water cart?"

Here's your first one... After baking, turn off the oven and leave the door open. Its residual heat will raise the temperature of the rest of the house in no time. Spend more time on the top floor of your home since heat rises, the air up there will be toastier than that on the ground floor. Drafty doors? Stuff the leg of an old pair of tights with kitty litter or strips of an old T-shirt. Tie at the end and place in front a door to keep drafts out. -<>- You could save a lot of money by shopping at dollar stores whenever possible. Not all dollar stores sell crappy products. Be careful about quality, but you will find great deals there. Gift bags, gift cards, aluminium foils, fun toys for kids are some examples. Baking soda can be used for putting out fires. Next time a small kitchen fire erupts, fret not! Pour some baking soda on it and out it will go! -<>- >'Go Green' Hints: Plant an edible garden Grow your own salad greens, veggies, and herbs. A garden can help reduce soil erosion and reduce air pollution. Aim to plant a plot that doesn't use a lot of water and tend your garden without using toxic pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Instead, purchase organic and earth-friendly garden products at your garden store. -<>- Choose non-toxic cleaners: Find eco-friendly alternatives to harsh chemical cleaners, which can cause health problems and pollute the environment as well. Several brands of non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning products are available at both natural grocery shops and chain stores. Or make your own: Baking soda is a cheap and effective all-purpose cleaner, scourer, polisher, and fungicide. Switch to natural disinfectants such as tea tree oil or citrus oils. Try borax and white vinegar as a toilet bowl cleaner. ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: Highlights From President Trump's Explosive Speech https://tinyurl.com/uywh2df NYPD investigating 6th anti-Semitic attack in less than 4 days: 'Enough is enough' https://www.foxnews.com/us/nypd-anti-semitic-attacks-new-york-city California businesswoman welcomes Trump intervention on state's growing homelessness crisis https://www.foxnews.com/media/sacramento-business-trump-homeless-crisis GOP Predicts Bipartisan Acquittal in Senate https://tinyurl.com/r95qxcv Adam Schiff Will Cry Himself to Sleep After These New Poll Numbers are Revealed https://tinyurl.com/ry62kh5 Speculation of Famed Liberal Lawyer Dertshowitz Joining Trump’s Legal Team Increases https://tinyurl.com/w5ukl5t William Barr Just Delivered Barack Obama a Stunning Defeat https://tinyurl.com/tdlsg5u AG Barr Hits Back At Comey’s ‘Nonsense’ https://tinyurl.com/qmwr2t4 Immigration Will Dramatically Shift The Electoral College In Favor Of Democrats, Study Finds https://tinyurl.com/umvejec Trump Blasts Commission On Presidential Debates, Says It Is Stacked With ‘Trump Haters And Never Trumpers’ https://tinyurl.com/rey8syv FISA Report Was So Bad That FBI’s Top Lawyer During Russia Probe Felt ‘Distressed’ After Reading It https://tinyurl.com/tvcw4r7 Westwing News: https://www.whitehouse.gov/westwingreads/ WhiteHouseNews: 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: Noodles, Eggs, Sandwiches http://www.emergencyemail.org/products/?fmt=text Latest Health Alert: FDA Warning about CBD http://www.emergencyemail.org/health/?fmt=text Click to Give Free https://tinyurl.com/y2abb8d2 -<>- >From BizarreNews: It must have seemed like a brilliant idea. Hundreds of shoppers packed into a shopping mall when suddenly a shower of gifts rain down on them from a grateful management. The happy recipients are thrilled with their gift cards and coupons and the holiday season is made just a little bit merrier. Unfortunately whoever thought up the stunt didn't realize how quickly a crowd can turn into a mob. Balloons filled with trivial freebies such as coffee vouchers and free parking sparked a wild stampede at a Sydney, Australia shopping centre leaving multiple shoppers injured. Video captured by terrified onlookers shows the moment the 150-strong crowd of people at Westfield Parramatta surged forward to grab balloons falling from above, filled with gift cards and discount vouchers. Police and paramedics rushed to the scene just after midnight after reports a number of people had been hurt in a crowd rush. One victim of the rush was the Westfield Santa, who was behind a wooden sign looking on when the suspended balloons fell from netting. In the video, Santa is seen being thrown several feet backward onto the ground as the structure collapses on top of him. Twelve people were treated at the scene; a half dozen others had to be taken to hospital for more serious injuries including traumatic chest injuries, neck and back pain as well as nausea and dizziness. On witness commented, "This was not worth winning a free coffee and a day of valet parking." -<>- In a small bit of good news for the public education sector, a hot female middle-school teacher in Florida was NOT having s with her students. She was, however, showing them how to twerk during a party. A student reported that the soccer coach and gym teacher had attended an end-of-year soccer gathering at a student's home and was twerking with students. Perhaps as a way of measuring how well they absorbed the material she was teaching them, she also allegedly let one of the eighth-graders give her a lap dance. Call it vocational training. The investigation of the allegations includes cell-phone video of the teacher getting the lap dance, which was described as "a gross exercise of poor judgment." Or "totally awesome" depending on which source you ask. To cap off the afternoon of questionable judgment calls, the teacher then drove home drunk with a classmate in the car, according to other students at the party. She was suspended for 15 days without pay. The superintendent says the educator was not fired because the student's parents were home at the time. Which isn't creepy at all. *--- World's Smallest 'gingerbread house' ---* A researcher at Canadian university said he used an electron microscope to carve the world's smallest "gingerbread house" in a piece of silicon. The Canadian Center for Electron Microscopy at McMaster University said research associate Travis Casagrande carved a smiling snowman smaller than the width of a human hair out of silicon and etched the tiny "gingerbread house" structure atop the snowman's head. The university said the house is half the size of one that was declared the world's smallest when it was created last year in France. "I think projects like this create science curiosity," Casagrande said. "I think for both children and adults, it's important to be curious about science. Looking into how this was made leads to more interest in science, and that builds more science literacy, which allows everyone to make better decisions." *--- Poltergeist turns out to be woman on meth ---* Even if you "ain't afraid of no ghost," you may want to be wary of "meth rampages." A Seattle couple called police after they returned to their condo and discovered that it looked like a scene from Paranormal Activity. The place was completely trashed and their mail and clothing had been strewn throughout the home. The unknown perpetrator had also "smeared lotion on a door handle, removed the inner soles from all of their shoes, screwed a single screw into a piece of scrap wood and placed an upside-down can of paint on top of their toilet." After a purse with a 27-year-old woman's ID card was found, Seattle Police Department officers were called to the scene. The woman was nowhere to be found, so they departed. Police returned after the couple called them back to the scene when they started hearing noises from under the bed. The mystery woman appeared "to be having a panic attack." According to the SPD, "the woman informed police she had been on a 'meth rampage' for several days and had also broken into another home around the block earlier in the evening." She was arrested and booked for investigation of burglary. *--- Woman shoots herself in the face to 'make a point' ---* A Michigan woman who tried to use a shotgun to "make a point" during a family argument ended up shooting herself in the face. After grabbing the gun, the Fremont Township woman slammed its butt-end onto the floor, causing the gun to go off and fire into her face. When police responded after receiving reports of a gunshot victim, they found the 51-year-old with a facial wound. She reportedly told officers that she wanted to use the firearm to "make a point." The woman was taken to St. Mary's of Michigan in Saginaw and she is expected to make a full recovery. Michigan police will continue to investigate the incident, but no charges have been filed at this time. *--- Santa is Fake, But Jesus is real ---* A concerned mother in Alaska is urging other parents to check their children's gifts after finding a surprise in one meant for her daughter. Brianna Ridge says that her mother bought a doll at the Walmart in Wasilla. While wrapping the doll as a present for her granddaughter, she noticed a small piece of paper sticking out of the box. As it turns out, the paper was actually a card - apparently left behind to be discovered by a child on Christmas morning. One side depicts Santa Claus, and reads in large font "HEY KIDS.. Santa is Fake, But Jesus is real." A note at the bottom tells parents to stop lying to their children about Santa, and to instead tell the truth about Jesus Christ. The card did not contain any information that indicates any organization is responsible for the hidden message. As a Christian, Ridge agrees that Jesus is the real reason behind the holiday; however, she does not approve of spoiling Christmas morning for unsuspecting children. --- ...Actually, Santa IS/was Real... Who is St. Nicholas? The true story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was born during the third century in the village of Patara in Asia Minor. At the time the area was Greek and is now on the southern coast of Turkey. His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, died in an epidemic while Nicholas was still young. Obeying Jesus’ words to “sell what you own and give the money to the poor,” Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God and was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to those in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships.

That December, when they went to pick up their first-grade son from school, his teacher told them about a conversation she overheard. One boy said, "We're Catholic, and we are going to Christmas Mass." "Were Jewish," said another child. "And we're going to have a Hanukkah celebration. "Madison chimed in, "We're Texans, and were going to have a barbecue." -<>- At first sight we knew it was the perfect Christmas tree. Tall and full, with no bare spots. Even our grown children were impressed. "Wow," said my son, "if you didn't know it was real, it could easily pass as artificial." -<>- I wondered if I could get my husband to help me address Christmas cards, as I had so much to do. I arranged everything we needed, then hopefully pulled up a chair and said, "Come on, Dear, let's get these out of the way." He glanced at the array on the table, turned away and went into the den, only to return moments later with a high stack of cards, stamped, sealed, and addressed. "They're last year's," he said. "I forgot to mail them. Now let's go out to dinner and relax." -<>- >Holiday Eating Tips 1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls. 2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-aholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas! 3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat. 4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission. 5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello? 6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog. 7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again. 8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day? 9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards. 10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. -<>- he symphony musicians had little confidence in the person brought in to be their new conductor. Their fears were realized at the very first rehearsal. The cymbalist, realizing that the conductor did not know what he was doing, angrily clashed his instruments together during a delicate, soft passage. The music stopped. The conductor, highly agitated, looked angrily around the orchestra, demanding, "All right! Who did that?

And I in my T-shirt, new Reeboks and jeans, I went into the kitchen and started to clean. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the sink to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the curtains, and threw up the sash. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a little white truck, with an oversized mirror. The driver was smiling, so lively and grand; The patch on his jacket said "U.S. POSTMAN." With a handful of bills, he grinned like a fox Then quickly he stuffed them into our mailbox. Bill after bill, after bill, they still came. Whistling and shouting he called them by name: "Now Dillard's, now Broadway's, now Penny's and Sears Here's Robinson's, Levitz's and Target and Mervyn's. To the tip of your limit, every store, every mall, Now charge away--charge away--charge away all!" He whooped and he whistled as he finished his work. He filled up the box, and then turned with a jerk. He sprang to his truck and he drove down the road, Driving much faster with just half a load. Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer, "Enjoy what you got. . . . . .you'll be paying all year!" -<>- >For Those Enjoying Ocean Getaways: ,| / ; / \ : ,'( |( `.\ : \ `\ \. \ `. | `. \ `-._ ; \ \ ``-.'.. _ `._ `. `-. ```-...__ .'`. --.. ``-..____ ,'.-'`,_-._ (((( - ,(()). ,;;;;. __ ________ _____ ___ ((_ _));'_`'_( _| __ __ __ _| _| _| __ __ () \ /)\ ) / (_|__ _|-_| _(_|(_|(_|__ _|-- ((\ O(() \ O / _____(_|(_|_____________(_|_ SSt >Fractured Christmas Carols No one can fracture a Christmas carol better than a kid.

About eight people ran up to the counter to take advantage of the offer.

So I asked him where the organic vegetables were. "He didn't know what I was talking about so I said, 'These vegetables are for my husband. Have they been sprayed with any poisonous chemicals?'

In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all. Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly. Days passed days, and weeks passed weeks. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting. But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband great distress. Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law's bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it. She went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs. She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all. Mr. Huang thought for a while, and finally said, "Li-Li, I will help you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you." Li-Li said, "Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do." Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a package of herbs. He told Li-Li, "You can't use a quick-acting poison to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people to become suspicious. Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and put a little of these herbs in her serving. Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspects you when she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. Don't argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen." Li-Li was so happy. She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law. Weeks went by, and months went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the specially treated food to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper, obeyed her mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother. After six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't had an argument with her mother-in-law in six months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with. The mother-in-law's attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the best daughter-in-law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now treating each other like a real mother and daughter. Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening. One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again. She said, "Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my mother-in-law! She's changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her." Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, there's nothing to worry about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were vitamins to improve her health. The real poison was in your mind and your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her." MORAL: have you ever realized that how you treat others is exactly how they will treat you? There is a wise Chinese saying: 'The person who loves others will also be loved in return.' God might be trying to work in another person's life through you. Also see Galatians 6:7. Everyone reaps what they sow.
