Your stationery is more cluttered than Warren Beatty's address book. The letterhead lists a fax number, e-mail addresses for two on-line services, and your Internet address, which spreads across the breadth of the letterhead and continues to the back. In essence, you have conceded that the first page of any letter you write is letterhead. 2. You have never sat through an entire movie without having at least one device on your body beep or buzz. 3. You need to fill out a form that must be typewritten, but you can't because there isn't one typewriter in your house, only computers with laser printers. 4. You think of the gadgets in your office as "friends," but you forget to send your father a birthday card. 5. You disdain people who use low baud rates. 6. When you go into a computer store, you eavesdrop on a salesperson talking with customers, and you butt in to correct him and spend the next twenty minutes answering the customers' questions, while the salesperson stands by silently, nodding his head. 7. You use the phrase "digital compression" in a conversation without thinking how strange your mouth feels when you say it. 8. You constantly find yourself in groups of people to whom you say the phrase "digital compression." Everyone understands what you mean, and you are not surprised or disappointed that you don't have to explain it. 9. You know Bill Gates' e-mail address, but you have to look up your own social security number. 10. You stop saying "phone number" and replace it with "voice number," since we all know the majority of phone lines in any house are plugged into contraptions that talk to other contraptions. 11. You sign Christmas cards by putting next to your signature. 12. Off the top of your head, you can think of nineteen keystroke symbols that are far more clever than . 13. You back up your data every day. 14. You print the itinerary of your vacation from a scheduler software. 15. You pack the laptop computer first for any trip. 16. You know more about the computer than about all of your friends. 17. You think jokes about being unable to program a VCR are stupid. 18. On vacation, you are reading a computer manual and turning the pages faster than everyone else who is reading John Grisham novels. 19. The thought that a CD could refer to finance or music rarely enters your mind. 20. You are able to argue persuasively the Ross Perot's phrase "electronic town hall" makes more sense than the term "information superhighway," but you don't because, after all, the man still uses hand-drawn pie charts. 21. You go to computer trade shows and map out your path of the exhibit hall in advance.But you cannot give someone directions to your house without looking up the street names. 22. You would rather get more dots per inch than miles per gallon. 23. You become upset when a person calls you on the phone to sell you something, but you think it's okay for a computer to call and demand that you start pushing buttons on your telephone to receive more information about the product it is selling. 24. You know without a doubt that disks come in five-and-a-quarter and three-and-a-half-inch sizes. 25. Al Gore strikes you as an "intriguing" fellow. 26. You own a set of itty-bitty screw-drivers and you actually know where they are. 27. While contemporaries swap stories about their recent hernia surgeries, you compare mouse-induced index-finger strain with a nine-year-old. 28. You are so knowledgeable about technology that you feel secure enough to say "I don't know" when someone asks you a technology question instead of feeling compelled to make something up. 29. You rotate your screen savers more frequently than your automobile tires. 30. You have a functioning home copier machine, but every toaster you own turns bread into charcoal. 31. You have ended friendships because of irreconcilably different opinions about which is better, the track ball or the track pad. 32. You understand all the jokes in this message. If so, my friend, technology has taken over your life. We suggest, for your own good, that you go lie under a tree and write a haiku. And don't use a laptop. 33. You email this message to your friends over the net. You'd never get around to showing it to them in person or reading it to them on the phone. In fact, you have probably never met most of these people face-to-face. 34. You don't even read magazine articles anymore, unless someone's keyed them into e-mail and forwarded it to you. 35. While you're away from home, the first three numbers you call are your voicenet, a bulletin board, and one of your e-mail accounts. 36. You are reading this from a screen. --- .-------. _|~~ ~~ |_ =(_|_______|_)= |:::::::::| |:::::::[]| |o=======.| jgs `"""""""""` ...Speaking of which... While my 8 year old grandsons were visiting this weekend, I was shocked to see one of their school papers. It had a keyboard with blank spaces for all the letters. The paper expected him to fill in the blanks. He only missed 2. I am sure I'd not do as well, even though I have been typing for years! I wasn't aware that they were required to memorize the keyboard so early in life. It is no wonder they can use the computer in the dark! I need a light to see the keyboard - not them! Our new age kids are tech savvy indeed! I have often wondered at why the letters on the keyboard are in the order they are in as they are not alphabetical or in any logical order that I can figure. So today I looked it up - thank God for the internet - little bits of wisdom at our finger tips so to speak. This is the information I found... The Sholes & Glidden Type Writer began production in late 1873 and appeared on the American market in 1874. The Sholes & Glidden typed only in capital letters, and it introduced the QWERTY keyboard, which is very much with us today. The keyboard was probably designed to separate frequently-used pairs of typebars so that the typebars would not clash and get stuck at the printing point. The S&G was a decorative machine, boasting painted flowers and decals. It looked rather like a sewing machine, as it was manufactured by the sewing machine department of the Remington arms company. The Sholes & Glidden had limited success, but its successor, the Remington, soon became a dominant presence in the industry. http://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-history.html This has the history and some interesting early typewriter photos. ======================================================= +------------ BIZARRE HOLIDAYS ------------+ January 18 is Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday and Winnie the Pooh Day -The Birthday of Winnie's author A.A.

At the end of the tour the guide asks her how she enjoyed it. She admits to being a bit worried about seeing a ghost in some of the dark cobwebby rooms and passages. "Don't worry" says the guide, "I've never seen a ghost all the time I've been here" "How long is that?" asks the girl. "About three hundred years......." -<>- >On the Scale When children come in to the doctor's office where I work, it's my job to weigh and measure them. After several unsuccessful attempts to get one frightened three-year-old on the scale, her mother said: "Honey, Mommy has a scale at home. Do like I do and stand on it." Recognition dawned on the child's face and she confidently stepped on the scale, looked down and exclaimed, "Oh, darn!" -<>- >Ice Warning One October, my wife and I spent a vacation on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. We were eager to visit the rain forests near the coast, but we heard that snow slides had made some of the roads impassable. Although apprehensive about the conditions we might run into, we drove on. Sure enough, we had gone only a short way up the High Rain Forest road when we saw a sign: ICE 10 MILES Five miles farther on, there was another sign: ICE 5 MILES The next one was ICE 1/2 MILE We practically crept that half-mile. Finally we came to the last sign. It was outside a small grocery, and it read: ICE 75 CENTS -<>- >Directions A friend was thinking about buying a new house in the country and asked me to come out and look at it. We found the town, but we couldn't locate the road. We drove over to city hall, where a community get-together was going on, and asked around, but no one had heard of the road. Even the policemen and fire personnel were stumped. We went in to city hall and consulted a map, with no luck, until finally one young man came to our aid. He pointed to the map, showing us exactly how to get there. I thanked the young man and asked if he was with the police or fire department. "Neither," he replied. "I deliver pizzas." -<>- >Organizing a Report One of my college friends asked a group of us for advice on organizing his final report for the year. "Why don't you use Roman Numerals to head the different sections?" a friend suggested. "I already thought of that," he replied.

And she walked over and stood on his foot. -------- God saw that there was much evil on earth and sent an angel to check it out and report. When the angel returned he said, "Yes, the Earth is in decline. 95% is bad but 5% of the people are good." God decided to send an email to the 5% that are good. He wanted to encourage them, boost their morale and give them a little something to help them keep going. Do you know what that e-mail said? Oh, you didn't get one either, huh? -------- A Blonde went into a store that sells curtains and tells the salesman, "I would like to buy a pink curtain for my new computer's screen". The surprised salesman replies: - "But madam, computers do not have curtains...". The Blonde says, "Well Helloooo.. I've got Windows!!!!!!!" -------- Everyone says looks don't matter. Age doesn't matter. Money doesn't matter, but I've never met a woman yet who has fallen in love with an old, ugly man who is broke. -------- The businessman dragged himself home and barely made it to his chair before he dropped, exhausted. His sympathetic wife was right there with a tall cool drink and a comforting word. "My, you look tired," she said. "You must have had a hard day today. What happened to make you so exhausted?" "It was terrible," her husband said, "The computer broke down and all of us had to do our own thinking. -------- A small town had three churches -- and all three were virtually overrun with pesky squirrels. The first church called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined that God must have wanted the squirrels there, and the church shouldn't interfere with God's divine will. The second church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creations, so they humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back. The third church came up with the best and most effective solution: they baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter. ------ A beautiful young model boards a plane to New York with a ticket for the economy section. She looks at the seats in economy, and then looks into the forward cabin at the first-class seats. Seeing that the first-class seats appear to be much larger and more comfortable, she moves forward to the last empty seat in first class. The flight attendant checks her ticket and tells the woman that her seat is in economy. The blonde replies, "I'm a famous model, and have never had this problem before. I'm going to sit here all the way, until we get to New York." Flustered, the flight attendant goes to the cockpit and informs the Captain of the blonde problem. The captain goes back and tells the woman that her assigned seat is in economy. Again, the blonde replies: "I'm a famous model, I'm sitting here all the way to New York." The captain doesn't want to cause a commotion, and so returns to the cockpit to discuss the blonde problem with the Co-pilot. The Co-pilot says that he used to date a blond model like her, and that he can take care of the problem. He then goes back and briefly whispers something in the blonde's ear. She immediately gets up, says "ok, thank you". She hugs the Co-pilot, and rushes back to her seat in the economy section. The pilot and flight attendant, who were watching with rapt attention, asked the Co-pilot what he had said to the woman. He replies, "I just told her that the first class seats aren't going to New York." -------- Q: If a blonde and a brunette fell off a building, which would hit the ground first? A: The brunette. The blonde would have to stop to ask directions ----- I came home last night and found my blonde wife painting the living room. She was wearing her new ski parka over her denim jacket. I asked, "Why all the layers? Are you cold?"

One said, "I can't seem to get this door unlocked!" The second blonde answered, "You better hurry up. It's starting to rain and the top is down!" ----- Three blondes were walking through a field when they came across a set of tracks. The first blonde looked down at the tracks and said, "I think these could be bird tracks." The second blonde said, "No, I think these are deer tracks." They stepped aside and the third blonde went over to the tracks. She looked down, then got run over by the train. ----- A blonde asked me what time it was. When I told her she got a with a puzzled look on her face and said, "You know, it's the weirdest thing. I've been asking that question all day, and each time I get a different answer." ----- A blonde was driving down the road listening to the radio and was quite upset when she heard a blonde joke. A little way down the road, she saw another blonde out in a field rowing a boat. The blonde stopped her car and angrily jumped out yelling, "You dumb blonde! It's blondes like you who give the rest of us a bad name! I'd come out there and give you what's coming to you if only I could swim!" ------- Barrack Obama was out jogging one morning along the parkway when he tripped, fell over the bridge railing and landed in the creek below. Before the Secret Service guys could get to him, 3 kids who were fishing pulled him out of the water. He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they wanted. The first kid said, 'I want to go to Disney World'. Barrack said, 'No problem, I'll take you there on Air Force One.' The second kid said, 'I want a new pair of Nike Air Jordan shoes.' Barrack said, 'I'll get them for you and even have Michael Jordan sign them.' The third kid said, ' I want a motorized wheelchair with a built in TV and stereo headset.' Barrack was a little perplexed by this and said, 'But you don't look like you're handicapped.' The kid said, 'I will be after my dad finds out I saved you from drowning.' ------- A housewife takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work, not aware that 9 year old son was hiding in the closet. Her husband came home unexpectedly, so she hid her lover in the closet. The boy now has company. Boy: "Dark in here." Man: "Yes it is." Boy: "I have a baseball." Man: "That's nice." Boy: "Want to buy it?" Man: "No, thanks." Boy: "My dad's right outside." Man: "OK, how much?" Boy: "250 dollars." After a few weeks, it happens again - the boy's father comes home early and the boy and the mom's lover are in the closet together. Boy: "Dark in here." Man: "Yes, it is." Boy: "I have a baseball glove." Man: "That's nice." Boy: "Want to buy it?" Man: "I really don't." Boy: "I'll tell." Man: "How much?" Boy: "750 dollars." Man: "Fine." A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove. Let's go outside and toss the baseball!" The boy says, "I can't. I sold them." The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?" The son says, "1,000 dollars." The father says, "That's terrible to over-charge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess." They go to church and the father alerts the priest and makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and closes the door. The boy says, "Dark in here." The priest says, "Oh, don't start that again!" --- ...LOL!

All he does is get dressed in the morning and hop in his fancy car to visit his cronies. I know he's cheated on me many times with girls young enough to be his grand daughters. I know this because he brags about this to me. He smokes fancy cigars and drinks the most expensive Champagne day and night. We sleep in separate beds because he keeps telling me that he knows I'm a lesbian and my varicose veins and fat behind turn him off. Should I clobber him with my frying pan or, should I just leave him? Your advice would be appreciated. Sincerely, Mad as Hell Dear Mad as Hell, You don`t have to put up with that kind of treatment from any man. I suggest you pack your bags and move out a.s.a.p.!

A couple was arrested a short time after they got engaged at a Walmart in Michigan. 25-year-old William Cornelius popped the question to his girlfriend over the loudspeaker system at the giant discount retailer. People at the superstore in Bay City cheered and applauded while Cornelius got down on his knee to propose with a ring he bought for $29.62. Young love, right? But perhaps the 30 bucks exhausted the young man's entertainment budget, because the lovers were accused of celebrating their engagement by shoplifting. According to the police, the couple took some jewelry, including a necklace. They then went to the nearby Spencer's gift shop, where they are accused of shoplifting adult toys and an edible thong. The couple was arrested at the mall, where Cornelius was found asleep on a food court table. Police recovered $80 worth of stolen items. Cornelius blamed his actions on the pain reliever which he took earlier that day. He was arrested on a charge of fraud, while his fiancee was charged with larceny. At least those edible underwear will come in handy in the holding cell. *---- Man robs bank armed with a Bible ----* NASHVILLE -- Authorities are seeking to identify a man who robbed a Nashville bank while armed only with a Bible. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said it is working with the FBI to attempt to identify the man who walked into a Bank of America branch about 2:30 p.m. Friday while carrying the holy book. The man, whom police said did not display a weapon, handed a note demanding cash to a teller. The suspect fled in an older-model red car. Police said he dropped his Bible on his way out of the bank. Police are asking members of the public to help identify the suspect. *-- Drunk, naked and urinating on police is no way to go through life, Mom. --* This story might sound familiar, but a woman in Florida has been arrested on a charge of child neglect after allegedly abandoning her son because she didn't want him anymore. Daytona Beach police said that they have arrested 34-year- old Jennifer Cael for child neglect and resisting arrest. Officers who arrived at the scene, were greeted by a security guard, who said that Cael abandoned her son. The officers found the boy in good health and eating a cookie. Cael they found naked and under the influence of alcohol. She refused to tell the officers her name and punched one of them in the chest. She then urinated on them. I'd love to know exactly how that happened. A Department of Children and Families worker took custody of the boy. *-- Naked woman goes on rampage through Waffle House --* What is it with naked women this week? A woman is facing several charges after going on a rampage at a Waffle House restaurant in Georgia, all while completely naked. According to police, the woman, identified as Jennifer Nicholson, stripped off her clothes, punched a woman in the face and then threw a plate at a window. She also threw several platters at patrons of the restaurant. When police tried to subdue Nicholson, she fought back. The woman who was punched sustained a broken nose in the attack, according to police. Nicholson is facing several assault and public indecency charges. *-- Customer pays at drive-through with cash, heroin --* Indiana police said a man paying for his McDonald's food handed a bag of heroin to a drive-through worker along with his money. The police report of the incident said an employee at the McDonald's in LaPorte took money from a male driver who appeared intoxicated and she sorted the bills to discover a green plastic baggie containing a "rock-like substance." Police said the substance "appeared to be heroin" and later testing confirmed the presence of the drug. Police said the man likely handed over the heroin by accident. "It shows you how significant the problem is here that we're battling," Metro Operations Coordinator Harlan Williams said. ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: ___ /L|0\ / | \ / \ / | \ / \ / __ | __ \ / __/ \__ \ / /__ | __\ \ /___________________\ / | \ / _|_ \ / ____/___\____ \ ___________[o0o]___________ O O O Paul Tomblin On a visit to my wife's native England for our honeymoon, we arrived at London's Gatwick Airport. Tania headed for the British passport control line while I, an American, waited in the foreigners' line. When my turn came, the customs officer asked me the purpose of my visit. "Pleasure," I replied. "I'm on my honeymoon." The officer looked first to one side of me, then the other. "That's very interesting, sir," he said as he stamped my passport. "Most men bring their wives with them." -<>- In my sociology class, we were instructed to write down answers to some questions the teacher was asking. "Next question," announced the instructor. "How would you like to be seen by the opposite sex?" I was thinking about my answer when the young woman next to me turned and asked, "How do you spell 'intellectual?'" -<>- One night at about 3am my wife was getting up from the toilet to return to bed when she heard a little noise. It was a suspiciously rodent like sound that seemed to be right in the bathroom with her. She, of course, froze and listened attentively for any further sign of invaders. After a moment, satisfied that she was alone, she took a step for the door. Rodent scratchy sounds again! She froze, not breathing. Silence. Her heart beat fast as she once again tried to retreat from the bathroom. This time the noise was accompanied by something touching the back of her leg! That was too much to bear. She literally flew the 8 feet to the bed, clearing the foot board by a couple feet, to land screaming by my side. The culprit was right there in plain sight, a trail of toilet paper neatly marked the path from bed to the bath- room. -<>- While I was serving as a chief master sergeant at Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City, La., my son and namesake was also serving there. His two month old son, whose name was the same as ours, was receiving medical treatments at the base hospital. I went on sick call one morning, and as the doctor reviewed my file, he looked at me in disbelief. "Are you Curtis E. Chaffin?" he asked. When I answered yes, he told me, "It says here that you turn blue when you cry." -<>- I was complaining the other day to a friend about the knot in my tie.

By The Sea Shore A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot. One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every day. She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing; She would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around furtively, then speak to them. Generally, the people would respond negatively and she would wander off, but occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick exchange of money for something she carried in her bag. The couple assumed she was selling drugs and debated calling the cops, but since they didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her. After a couple of weeks the wife asked, "Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?" He said he hadn't. Then she said, "Tomorrow I want you to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she's really doing." Well, the plan went off without a hitch, and the wife was almost hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave. The man walked up the beach and met his wife at the road. "Well, is she selling drugs?" she asked excitedly. "No, she's not," he said, enjoying this probably more than he should have. "Well, what is it, then?" his wife fairly shrieked. The man grinned and said. "She's a battery salesperson." "Batteries?" cried the wife. "Yes" he replied. "She sells C cells by the seashore." -<>- |). ____________ /| \ /) (\ / ,,____,, \:. ,| |__| [][][] |__|: : / [][][] \ : : ( |_ !

A second time and the same result. Then the phone rang a third time. "This is your mother, I think," I heard. "If I am, please call me." -<>- >Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes A couple months ago, I entered a contest and ended up winning a few acres of swamp land below the flood plane in Mississippi. Before I knew it, right after that I won a $250,000 house, so naturally I built it on my new land. So I quit my job and moved down there for good. And just last night, as I sat on my new porch watching the rain and listening to the thunder, it all started to sink in. -<>- >The Boss Of The Year At an annual Bosses Night dinner for Helena, Mont., lawyers, sponsored by legal secretaries, it was time to announce the Boss of the Year. The master of ceremonies began: "First of all, our winner is a graduate of the University of Montana. So that already eliminates some of you as candidates. "Our winner also is a partner in a downtown Helena law firm. That eliminates some more of you. "Our nominee is honest, upright, dedicated..."

Just last week Oprah had a whole show on how great menopause will be.... Puhleeeeeeeze! I've had a few thoughts of my own and would like to share them with you. Whether you are pushing 40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing your luck) you'll probably relate. Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache. Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can see your rear without turning around. Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless. In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can retain is water. Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand McNally -- more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of Wisconsin. Mid-life means that you become more reflective... You start pondering the "big" questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice? But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important. We realize that breasts sag, hips expand and chins double, but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any of you trade the knowledge that you have now for the body you had way back when? Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom and love we've acquired. That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it! -<>- + (|) _____.___.|_|. | / \ |===| | / \ | o | |__/__v__\|, ,| | | | | | || || |/| . . . |','| ||| A A A | , | ||| M M M | | wtx --------------------- >Let Me In Do you remember back when a lot of little churches built the john (bathroom) behind the pulpit? There was often an outside, hallway door to access it from the other side. In such a church the pastor was waxing eloquent on Rev. 3:20. With great pathos he exclaimed that the Lord is standing at the door of your heart and crying, "Let Me in. Let Me in!" He walked over to the aforementioned door just off the pulpit. He reminded us that God was at our heart's door and heavily pounded on it crying "Let Me in. Let Me in!" when back came the plaintive cry, "For heaven's sake, one minute, PLEASE!!" -<>- >Daffynitions ADULT: A person who has stopped growing at both ends and is now growing in the middle.

The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter. After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty! One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you." "My darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek." -<>- _ / } /'.\ _/ ) (`- ( ,) |/ /| ' ` Elb >The Revenge Of The Blondes A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game? The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines, and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise versa." Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00." This catches the blonde's attention and figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. Okay says the lawyer, your turn. She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworker, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500. The blonde says, "Thank you", and turns back to get some more sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep. ========================================================= >-->FUN Places To Net Visit :) Witty Comebacks!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/comebacks.html God's Night Lights 2!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/night2.html Amazing Trivia Facts 3!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/triviafacts3.html Church Mouse Wisdom!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/churchmouse.html Moses And The Red Sea!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/mosesredsea.html Creation VS Coincidence!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/creationvscoincidence.html What I've Learned In Life!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/learnedinlife.html All About Hugs!- http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/hugs.html Happy Moments!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/happymoments.html Sandy's Can Cars!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/cancars.html Typewriter Art 2!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/typeart2.html World Of Squirrels!- http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/worldofsquirrels.htm -<>- >Please Visit/Follow Me on StumbleUpon :) http://tinyurl.com/zpn32jr -<>- >From Our Friend LouiseA :) Watch as these powerful trains plow their way through massive amounts of snow on the tracks in this cool video compilation.
