Time was of the essence. As he was wheeled in and placed in bed, the scene became frenzied. Nurses rushed to get the patient monitored, do a fast physical assessment, obtain pertinent information and prepare equipment. In the middle of this commotion, one nurse called out, "Does anyone know the age of this patient?" Before the nurse could look at his admission sheet to check, a voice from the bed offered: "I know. I'm 75." -<>- >Would You Be Scared? I was trying to get my seventh-grade history class to understand how the Indians must have felt when they first encountered the Spanish explorers. "How would you feel," I asked, "if someone showed up on your doorstep who looked very different, spoke a strange language and wore unusual clothes? Wouldn't you be a bit scared?" "Nah," one boy answered, "I'd just figure it was my sister's date." -<>- >Your Name? One caller to our answering service gave me his name, number and message and then said, "You know my name.

"We're not allowed to give our names," I replied, "but my operator number is 4136" Sounding disappointed, he said, "May I call you by your first digit, or would that be too personal?" -<>- >Dangling Participles (Culled from newspapers) - The burglar was about 30 years old, white, 5' 10", with wavy hair weighing about 150 pounds. - The family lawyer will read the will tomorrow at the residence of Mr. Hannon, who died June 19 to accommodate his relatives. ~ Mrs. Shirley Baxter, who went deer hunting with her husband, is very proud that she was able to shoot a fine buck as well as her husband. - Organ donations from the living reached a record high last year, outnumbering donors who are dead for the first time. - The dog was hungry and made the mistake of nipping a 2-year-old that was trying to force feed it in his ear. - We spent most of our time sitting on the back porch watching the cows playing Scrabble and reading. - Hunting can also be dangerous, as in the case of pygmies hunting elephants armed only with spears. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend LouiseAu :) {} {} ! !

He died many years ago." Saint Peter asks, "What was his name?" The woman replies, "John Smith." "Gee," says Saint Peter, "we've got a lot of John Smiths up here. But sometimes we can identify people by their last words. Do you happen to remember what his last words were?" The woman thinks for a moment, then says, "Oh yes! I remember them! He said that if I ever slept with another man after he was gone, he would roll over in his grave." "Oh!" says Saint Peter. "You mean *Whirling* John Smith!" ---------- At the airport check-in counter I overheard a woman ask for window seats for both she and her husband. The clerk pointed out that this would prevent them for sitting together. "Sweetie," the woman replied, "I've just spent 10 days of quality time in a compact rental car with this man. I KNOW what I'm requesting!" ---------- While sitting on the train one day, the man next to me started screaming, "Call me a doctor! Call me a doctor!" I asked, "Are you sick?" "No", he replied, "I just graduated from medical school." ---------- A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told him he had just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody-or-other had printed it. "Not Gutenberg?" gasped the collector. "Yes, that was it!" "You idiot! You've thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million dollars!" "Oh, I don't think this book would have been worth anything close to that much," replied the man. "It was scribbled all over in the margins by some clown named Martin Luther." ---------- An Irishman living in Devon goes for a job on a construction site. The foreman says, "Can you brew tea?" The Irishman says, "Yes." "Good. Can you drive a fork lift?" The Irishman looks at him and says, "Why, just how big is the teapot?" ---------- Three disabled men (a blind man, an amputee, and a man in a wheelchair) are flying back with the USA team from the Paralympic games in the Middle East when their plane crashes in the Sahara Desert. The three disabled men, the only survivors, are now stranded and wait for someone to rescue them, but no one shows. They start to get real thirsty, so they decide to seek out water. The amputee leads the way, with the blind man pushing the man in the wheelchair;. Eventually they find an oasis. The amputee leader goes into the water first, cools himself down, drinks a load of water, walks out the other side and lo and behold, he has a NEW LEG! He gets excited and encourages his friends to do the same. The blind man offers to push the guy in the wheelchair, but he is refused. The man in the chair is skeptical and insists the blind man goes ahead first. So he goes into the water, cools himself down, drinks a load of water, walks out the other side and lo and behold, he can SEE! Now the man in the wheelchair is getting really excited and starts pushing with all his might. He goes into the water, cools himself down, drinks a load of water, and wheels out the other side. Lo and behold ... NEW TIRES!!! ------- "Mom," said the little boy, in from playing. "I think the people who live next door are really, really poor!" "Why do you say that, my little one?" "Because you should have seen the fuss they made when their baby swallowed a dime!" ---------- Little Johnny's mother asked him what he would like for his birthday. "I'd like a little brother," Little Johnny said. "Oh my, that's such a big wish," said his mother. "Why do you want a little brother"? "Well," said Little Johnny, "there's only so much I can blame on my dog." ---------- Customer on phone: "We need to order some four-by-twos." Lumber clerk: "You mean two-by-fours, don't you?" Customer: "Let me check ..." "... Yeah, I meant two-by- fours." Clerk: "All right. How long do you need them?" Customer: "I'd better go check ..." "... A long time. We're gonna build a house." ---------- Old Mr. Smith, the school's principal, made it a practice to visit the classrooms one day a week. He walked into the 4th grade class, where the children were studying the states, and asked them how many states they could name. They came up with about 40 names. Mr. Smith jokingly told them that in his day students knew the names of all the states. Little Johnny raised his hand and said, "Yes sir, but in those days there were only 13 states." ---------- A man returns from a trip to Shanghai and is feeling very ill. He goes to see his doctor and is immediately rushed to the hospital to undergo a series of tests. The man wakes up after these tests in a private room at the hospital and the phone by his bed rings. "This is your doctor," says the voice on the phone. "We have the results back from your tests. I'm sorry to report that you have an extremely contagious deadly disease known as G.A.S.H." "G.A.S.H?" replies the man. "What in the hell is that?" "It's a combination of Gonorrhea, AIDS, C-19, SARS, and Herpes," explains the doctor. "My gosh, Doc!" screams the man in a panic, "what are we going to do?" "Well we're going to put you on a strict diet of pizza, pancakes, quesadillas, and pita bread," says the doctor matter- of-factly. "Will that cure me?" "Well, no," says the doctor, "but it's the only food that will fit under the door." --- ...LOL! Oh My! Thanks LouiseAu! -<>- _..__ .'

He's running against the Obamas, the Clintons, Oprah, the MSM, Soros, etc. It's Trump vs. Satan. I've never seen a country work so hard to get rid of a President, but not illegal immigrants, drug dealers or child traffickers. So you're voting for Biden? Tell me why without mentioning Trump. Michelle Obama said, "Vote Democrat, or the riots and violence will continue." Sounds like a threat to me. "There's never been anything we've been able to accomplish when we've done it together. ~ Joe Biden, DNC Black & Decker is leaving China & building a $90M plant in Texas. I'm curious as to when the Media is going to tell people not to eat McDonald's, smoke cigarettes, consume alcohol or touch little kids. Or, are we just sticking to wearing masks to save lives? Over 80 days of riots, since May 30, an estimated $100B (that's billion) in 14 cities, & still not one Democrat condemns these riots??!!?? Not a one! What does that tell ya? A piece of rope hanging from a garage door received more Press than the execution of a 5-year old boy. Let that sink in! BLM rioters have now killed more innocent Americans than cops have killed unarmed black people in all of last year. Why not send camera-controlled drones armed with rubber bullets, tasers, capture nets & tear gas into riots? Never forget Democrat Mayors sent SWAT Teams to shut down churches & barbershops, but let looters & rioters burn down cities. BLM = Black Privilege...the ability to break every law in the country & still remain the victim. The Party that constantly calls the Right racist & s%xist just chose their VP based on race & gender. Biden endorsed by BLM & ANTIFA. Trump endorsed by NRA & Law Enforcement. Choose your President wisely. I'm tired of people coming to America & trying to turn it into the country they fled. Aren't you? Social Security checks do not go thru the postal service because it's not secure. Let that sink in. How does the DNC slam Trump on the economy on the same day S&P500 hits record high? Obama in his speech was so concerned about "Democracy". Yet he literally attempted to frame a DEMOCRATICALLY-elected President with Russian collusion for the purpose of impeaching & undoing a DEMOCRATIC election!!

'-' jgs (________\ \ '-' Poor or interrupted sleep is practically an epidemic all by itself. More than 60 percent of people report tossing and turning at night. Sleep deprivation can weaken your immunity, cause weight gain and lower your sex drive, not to mention make you cranky! Luckily a few easy changes can improve your chances of getting the solid sleep you deserve. Open a window You will fall asleep 20 percent faster and wake up more energized simply by cracking open a bedroom window for 10 minutes before bed. During the day when the AC is on and windows are shut, carbon dioxide accumulates in your home, which causes tossing and turning at night. Fresh air lets in more sleep-promoting oxygen. Use a fan Turning on a fan not only cools you off, but the gentle whir of its blades masks outdoor summer noise. Exposure to distracting noises shortens the time we spend in the deepest stages of sleep. Try a red night-light If you find it difficult to get back to sleep after getting up in the middle of the night, try using a red night light. The crimson color doesn't restart your inner clock like a white or blue light does. As a result you stay drowsy even during those late night bathroom trips. Reduce night sweats with lavender Longer summer days throw off your body's temperature- regulating system, worsening night sweats. Tuck a lavender sachet into your pillowcase. Breathing in the scent resyncs your temperature, cutting the frequency of night sweats in half! -<>- .-. | | |=| |=| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |=| jgs |=| |_| .=/I\=. ////V\\\\ |#######| ||||||||| ||||||||| ||||||||| Even if you're compulsive about keeping your home clean, there are still certain things that get overlooked. Things that really should get more attention than they should. For example, did you know that your keyboards are a hotbed of bacteria? Or when was the last time you cleaned your showerhead? To make sure your house is as clean as it can be, here are a few important things everyone forgets to clean. Refrigerator Your fridge could make you sick if you don't clean it every once in a while. NSF International swabbed 20 kitchens as part of its 2013 Household Germ Study, and two of the germiest places were the vegetable and meat compartments in refrigerators. First, unplug the fridge and empty it out. Toss old containers and expired food, and wipe everything down with multipurpose spray. Make sure to scrub drawers in warm water and dish soap. Kitchen drawers and cabinets It's probably a good idea to keep the places you store all your food and dishes clean, right? Empty them out, toss expired food, and wipe everything down. Before returning everything to its rightful place, see if there's any dish- ware you haven't used in a year or two. It would probably be better off donated. Garbage bins Its name implies that garbage bins are supposed to be dirty, but washing them out with a hose every once in a while will make taking out the trash a slightly less painful chore. Doorknobs They may not have as many germs as once thought, but think: Have you ever cleaned a doorknob or a drawer handle? Ever? Take a few minutes and wipe down the most touched knobs in your house. Keyboards When was the last time you cleaned your keyboard? If you can't remember when it might be time to get on that. Keyboards can be home to staphylococcus aureus, a type of bacteria that can cause potentially serious infections in humans. On a more positive note, cleaning your keyboard is a relatively easy task. Showerhead The next time you're cleaning your bathroom, make sure you give special attention to your shower head. The bacteria commonly found on shower heads led to an increased risk of respiratory illnesses, according to 2018 research by the American Society for Microbiology. In fact, bacteria found on showerheads even led to an increased prevalence of lung disease in certain regions of the United States, according to the research. ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: The Dems are busy trying to remove God from our life, from our culture and from their guilty conscience.

The Iga-ryu Ninja Museum, located in Iga, Mie Prefecture, said there were no staff members inside when the late-night thieves broke in and triggered an alarm. Police were summoned to the scene and determined the thieves had used a crowbar to force the door open and made off with a 330-pound safe containing admission fees from more than 1,000 visitors. The museum said about $9,470 was inside the safe. The thieves are believed to have been in and out of the museum in about three minutes. The museum is dedicated to the history and practices of ninjas, who were known for their skills in espionage, assassination, sabotage and guerrilla warfare. The practice of ninjutsu -- the art of stealth -- is believed to date back to at least the 14th century. -<>- Shoplifting can be a real hassle. Especially carrying all of that tantalizing loot out of the store. And what if you want to shoplift something bulky? Like lawn equipment? You're not going to fit that under an overcoat. One enterprising woman in Alabama solved those little inconveniences by doing the most obvious thing. Police say 42-year-old Gwendolyn Braswell was behind the wheel of a Pontiac Sunfire that drove into a Home Depot Friday morning. The bizarre incident was recorded by surveillance cameras inside the store. Police today identified Braswell as the suspect and asked the public for help in determining her whereabouts. Braswell is facing multiple charges, including burglary, criminal mischief, and theft. It is believed that Braswell had first staged merchandise in the store before returning to pick up the goods (a leaf blower and a dehumidifier). That's some good planning right there. After backing in through the store's front sliding doors-- which were clipped by the Pontiac--Braswell navigated her way down an aisle, but not before plowing into a display and scattering customers. Investigators connected Braswell to the brazen heist thanks to witnesses who took down the Pontiac's license plate and recorded video. Police say Braswell used the vehicle without the owner's permission. Braswell's rap sheet includes a burglary conviction and an arrest for possession of narcotics and drug paraphernalia. --- ...Stay watching to see her drive - badly - in the store: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfKwbz5nJE8 *--- Or... he could have used a lighter ---* A Chinese martial artist broke a Guinness World Record when he used his nunchucks to light 21 matches in one minute. Shanghai martial artist Xie Desheng, 28, who previously broke Guinness records for using his nunchucks to extinguish candles and unscrew bottle caps, made it into the record books for a third time by using the weapons to light 21 matches in 60 seconds. Xie, who has been studying the nunchucks for about 10 years, said it took him about a year of practice to prepare for each of his Guinness records. The winner of numerous nunchuck competitions across the globe, Xie teaches classes in Shanghai on using the weapons. *--- Cash by the gallon ---* An aquarium in North Carolina said it drained a wishing waterfall to cash in on 14 years of tossed coins -- about 100 gallons' worth. The North Carolina Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores said employees drained the waterfall, which for 14 years served as a wishing fountain for visitors seeking to trade their coins for good luck. The aquarium said employees sifted out about 100 gallons of coins -- as well as objects including eyeglasses, toys and jewelry. Officials said the money removed from the waterfall will go toward care for the animals at the facility, which has been closed to the public for nearly six months amid the COVID-19 pandemic. They said employees do not yet know exactly how much money was removed from the waterfall. --- ...I found the total just for you! “Drumroll please … there was $8,563.71 in pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters,” aquarium director Liz Baird said in a news release. Facebook user Amy Campbell had guessed $8,562. https://tinyurl.com/yygnzd9w *--- Real Men of Genius ---* Police in Clearwater, FL say Herbert McClellan, 27, walked into a Speedway gas station around 2 a.m. While in the store, investigators say McClellan reached over the counter to steal 13 different scratch-off lottery tickets while the clerk was distracted. He then left the store without paying for the tickets, worth $102, police said. He didn't waste any time in checking to see if any were winners. When one ticket offered a $30 prize, officers say he went back into the same store to cash it in. Employees called police, who arrested McClellan for petit theft and dealing in stolen property. He's being held on $12,000 bond. *--- Boar swims out of Baltic Sea, causes beach chaos ---* A peaceful day on a German beach turned to chaos when a wild boar swam out of the Baltic Sea and ran loose through crowds of sunbathers. A video shared by the Seebad Warnemunde resort shows the boar coming out of the sea at a crowded beach in Schonagen, Schleswig-Holstein. The footage shows a man attempt to ward the wild pig away from the crowds with a shovel, but the undeterred boar ran through the beach, sending sunbathers running for safety. Witnesses said the boar eventually ran off down the coast. The boar is believed to be the same animal earlier spotted swimming miles away, off the coast of Lower Saxony. Sailor Claus Schluter said he and his colleagues were unable to guide the boar out of the water and it was last seen swimming toward Schonagen. Knowing those Germans, that animal eventually became sausages. --- ...I found this video with this boar and many more boars for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyqfEiajey0 ========================================================= >-->From TheGroaner: (.,------...__ _.'" `. .' .' `, `. `. ` . .' .'/''--...__`. \ . .--.`.

"My fee is five hundred dollars," replies the physician. "Five hundred dollars? That's impossible. No one charges that much!" "In your case," the doctor replies, "I suppose I could adjust my fee to three hundred." "Three hundred dollars? For one visit? Ridiculous." "Well, then, could you afford two hundred?" "Who has that kind of money?" "Look, replies the doctor," growing irritated, "Just give me a hundred and get out of my office, okay?" "I can give you fifty," says the man. "Take it or leave it."

LGB My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. He has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants. His meals are provided at no cost to him. He visits the Doctor once a year for his check-up, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him. He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep. He makes no contribution to the running or maintenance of the house. If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep. He receives these accommodations absolutely free. He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever. All of his costs are picked up by others who go out, work hard, and earn a living every day. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head...
