People were sick, hospitals full, Doctors overwhelmed, no one in school. As winter gave way to the promise of spring, The virus raged on, touching peasant and king. People hid in their homes from the enemy unseen. They YouTubed and Zoomed, social-distanced, and cleaned. April approached and churches were closed. "There won't be an Easter," the world supposed. "There won't be church services, and egg hunts are out. No reason for new dresses when we can't go about." Holy Week started, as bleak as the rest. The world was focused on masks and on tests. "Easter can't happen this year," it proclaimed. "Online and at home, it just won't be the same." Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the days came and went. The virus pressed on; it just would not relent. The world woke Sunday and nothing had changed. The virus still menaced, the people, estranged. "Pooh pooh to the saints," the world was grumbling. "They're finding out now that no Easter is coming. "They're just waking up! We know just what they'll do! Their mouths will hang open a minute or two, And then all the saints will all cry boo-hoo. "That noise," said the world, "will be something to hear." So it paused and the world put a hand to its ear. And it did hear a sound coming through all the skies. It started down low, then it started to rise. But the sound wasn't depressed. Why, this sound was triumphant! It couldn't be so! But it grew with abundance! The world stared around, popping its eyes. Then it shook! What it saw was a shocking surprise! Every saint in every nation, the tall and the small, Was celebrating Jesus in spite of it all! It hadn't stopped Easter from coming! It came! Somehow or other, it came just the same! And the world with its life quite stuck in quarantine Stood puzzling and puzzling. "Just how can it be?" "It came without bonnets, it came without bunnies, It came without egg hunts, cantatas, or money." Then the world thought of something it hadn't before. "Maybe Easter," it thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Easter, perhaps, means a little bit more." And what happened then? Well....the story's not done. What will YOU do? Will you share with that one Or two or more people needing hope in this night? Will you share the source of your life in this fight? The churches are empty - but so is the tomb, And Jesus is victor over death, doom, and gloom. So this year at Easter, let this be our prayer, As the virus still rages all around, everywhere. May the world see hope when it looks at God's people. May the world see the church is not a building or steeple. May the world find Faith in Jesus' death and resurrection, May the world find Joy in a time of dejection. May 2020 be known as the year of survival, But not only that - Let it start a revival.

Surfing therapy dog Ricochet has joined forces with Pawsitive Teams, the therapy dog program she is certified with, to provide Virtual Canine Therapy to doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers, and first responders on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic. This partnership directly addresses the mental health crisis affecting these selfless individuals. In every other crisis, therapy dogs are called upon to provide comfort and healing. But, due to social distancing and quarantine, animal assisted therapy programs have been suspended. "At a time when dogs could be truly valuable resources, we’re thinking outside the box in an effort to offer some form of canine therapy to the millions of people around the world who need it," said Judy Fridono, Ricochet’s guardian. “Knowing what I do about eye contact producing oxytocin, I wondered if looking at close-up photos of dogs’ eyes coupled with calming music would have the same result,” said Fridono. Researchers have already determined that looking at photos of nature for 30 to 60 seconds reduces stress. Hundreds of individuals who have participated in the virtual canine therapy program have reported they felt a calm, connected state of being. Cultivating these moments allows for deep experiences of connection regardless of whether physical contact is made. All you need are a human and a dog with open eyes . . . and open hearts! The proactive steps of Ricochet and Pawsitive Teams offering virtual canine therapy with eye gazing will support healthcare workers, essential workers, and the world at large NOW, as well as into the future. The best part is, it can be done on any computer or mobile device connected to the internet, and it only takes a couple of minutes. Stressed individuals can take a quick break from the chaos and find themselves less anxious after engaging in the program. We invite you and your followers to try this phenomenon at https://www.surfdogricochet.com/virtualcaninetherapy.html Please help us reach those in need by sharing this information and the program. Let’s help our heroic men and women take a few minutes to breathe and decompress . . . through a dog’s eyes. Ricochet and Pawsitive Teams thank you for your support.

'|'|! |'|`. " ./ l | \ .'_ _.\ j, `._,. (_)_)._) (_.__,._) itz Believe it or not, it's time to start thinking about spring cleaning your home. Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal...why not make that go for your house as well? The fresh air and greenery out- doors make us want to prettify our indoor spaces, too. It just makes us feel better, but many find the mere thought of spring cleaning overwhelming. For the next few issues we will feature hints and tips to help make spring cleaning a bit easier for you. Start off by listing out every room in your house, without forgetting about the utility room, laundry room, and closets. Think about cleaning tasks like baseboards, walls, window, curtains, and even moving furniture to clean behind and underneath it. DECLUTTER FIRST - If all you do is shuffle piles of stuff to clean around them and then put them back. Sure your stack of DVD's are cleaner, but is your family room ambiance really better off after all your hard work? Before cleaning you should declutter and organize. * Start from the top down... When you think about how to spring clean your home, it's important to start from the ceiling down. This will force debris downward and keep you from having to re-dust or re-clean your space. If you have a vacuum with a long extension hose, use it to get cobwebs and dust from your ceilings and fans. Then dust your furniture and other items before vacuuming all the dust from your floors. Removing pesky pet hair from upholstery and drapes is tedious, and cleaning a lint brush is a nightmare. But all you need are rubber gloves to rid your furniture of fur - just pull on your traditional gloves, dampen them and collect the problem fuzz. * Dust all your forgotten places Like your lamp shades and drapes! Put your dryer to work and toss drapes, curtains, and even throw pillows in the dryer for 15 minutes on the "air-only" cycle, then rehang immediately to prevent wrinkles. * Carryall Apron Before you throw out that old kitchen apron, stash your essential spring-cleaning supplies in the pockets and use it as you go from room to room. It will leave your hands free to scrub and polish and you won't have to lug a heavy cleaning bucket around the house. * Focus on your fridge. You probably wipe down your fridge's interior shelving on the regular already, but don't forget about the rest. Pop out the door shelves and bins, and wash in warm, soapy water to get rid of food bacteria and spillage. * FIFO Grocery stores use a system called FIFO (first in, first out) to rotate products with a limited shelf life so that they'll sell before they spoil. We should follow the same rules and save ourselves both frustration and money. There are probably expired products lurking in your pantry and medicine cabinet right now. When cleaning your pantry, don't just pull everything out and put it back in. Check out those jars, cans and boxes. The medicine cabinet and your other bathroom storage areas also need to be purged of old stuff. Expired medicine can be dangerous at worst and ineffective at best. Cosmetics don't have expiration dates, but liquid-based ones especially can harbor bacteria and should go in three to six months. -<>- >'Go Green' Hint: Indoor air pollution We are all spending more time indoors. Therefore we must pay special attention to our indoor air quality. Here are tips to make your indoor air environment as clean as possible. Open windows! Get fresh air in your rooms every chance you get. Lose the fragrance! If is says "fragrance" in the ingredients, it means that the manufacturer can put ANYTHING in it and hide it from you and regulators. You're bathing it in, washing your clothes in it and cleaning your homes with it. Add that up 365 days a year and it comes to a whole lot of toxins. Some of the ingredients in normal laundry soap are so toxic that if you put them in a barrel and left on the side of the road you could be arrested for dumping toxic waste. There are plenty of fragrance-free soaps, detergents, deodorants and lotions on the market. Even 'green' products made with few or no petroleum by-products. There is no reason to put your health or the health of your family at risk! ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: CDC Coronavirus https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html New York Times continues to spread Chinese disinformation, blames Trump for not acting soon enough https://tinyurl.com/r394zs5 Twitter Just Exposed its Anti-Conservative Bias After This Ridiculous Move https://tinyurl.com/t4dxth2 Trump: Obama Hasn’t Endorsed Biden Because ‘He Knows Something That You Don’t Know’ http://trk.cp20.com/click/g7u1-1xki3r-mkpdu0-d7x9nsh4/ As Democrat States Attack Americans’ Rights, AG Barr Fires Back http://trk.cp20.com/click/g7u1-1xki3r-mkpdu2-d7x9nsh6/ Schiff: I Am ‘Diving Deeply’ into What Warnings Trump Ignored on Coronavirus http://trk.cp20.com/click/g7u1-1xki3r-mkpdu6-d7x9nsh0/ Democrats Across The Country Are Fighting To Give Coronavirus Aid To Illegal Aliens http://trk.cp20.com/click/g7u1-1xki3r-mkpdu8-d7x9nsh2/ Lara Trump joins the fight to end wet markets worldwide https://tinyurl.com/u5jfhog TheWhiteHouseResoluteReads: FIVE STORIES PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS https://www.whitehouse.gov/ Westwing News: Sen.

Jennifer Knox, owner of The Sand Bar in Tybee Island, said customers have been writing their names and other messages on dollar bills and stapling them to the walls inside the bar for the past 15 years. Knox said she was inside the empty bar in March after the business closed due to coronavirus lockdown measures when she came up with a way to help her now unemployed staff. "We were sitting there doors locked and I'm like 'oh my gosh, there's money on the walls and we have time on our hands,'" Knox said. "'We gotta get this money down.'" She said it took three days to remove all the bills. Knox said she was able to collect $3,714 from the walls, and customers who heard about her efforts to help her employees offered donations that brought the total amount to $4,104. She said donations are still coming in from the public. "We all look out for each other," she said. "We are all in this together." -<>- If scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock, what beats an old-fashioned, muzzle-loading pistol? If you guessed a shovel you might be from Michigan, because apparently that's where muzzle-loaders are still being used by the locals. And not very effectively, because this pistol- packin' Michigander was disarmed by a woman with a shovel. Confused? You won't be after this episode of Yoopers Gone Wild. Michigan State Police troopers responded to a residence in Bay County over a dispute involving a camping trailer. Troopers determined a 58-year-old man and a younger female relative had gone to the property to pick up the trailer, where the visitor got into a disagreement with the 55-year- old male resident over the trailer's ownership. The resident at the time had a muzzleloader pistol on him. The two men struggled over the gun, during which the gun was fired. No one was hit, but the resident then used the pistol to strike the older man in his head. As the situation escalated, the woman who was present grabbed a shovel and struck the resident on his head with it. The two visitors left the scene and called 911. Responding troopers arrested the 55-year-old man on a charge of felonious assault. They also seized the pistol. *--- Cops bust man playing with his daughter ---* When the state of Colorado says maintain social distance they mean maintain social distance, even if means staying the hell away from your wife and 6-year-old daughter in public. That's what Matt Mooney learned when he went to the park to play tee-ball with his family. Three Brighton police officers approached Mooney for violating the state's social distancing guidelines, and when he failed to cooperate they arrested him. Unfortunately for the officers, the guidelines state that the park cannot be used by groups of 4 or more persons, and remains open for all other activities. Apparently it took over ten minutes for the officers to count up to 3 on their fingers, because that's how long Mooney sat in the back of their cruiser wearing handcuffs. The Brighton Police Department said it is conducting an investigation into a situation, and Mooney is waiting for an apology. I hope he's got a lot of patience. *--- That's one tough turkey ---* A Minnesota truck driver said he received a shock when a turkey crashed through his windshield on the highway -- and a second surprise when the bird was uninjured. Dante Wiskow said he was driving his truck for Beer Farms when he spotted a turkey soaring past his trailer. Wiskow said a second turkey suddenly appeared in the road and launched itself into the air, crashing through the passenger side of his windshield. He estimated the bird was about 35 pounds. An Eagan police officer came upon the scene and summoned state patrol vehicles to help guide traffic so the turkey could be ejected from the cab of the truck. "After removing the bird, the turkey went back into a wooded area like nothing happened," police said in a Facebook post. *--- Smart ass ---* A team of Stanford University scientists announced they have designed a "smart toilet" that identifies the user by the shape of their backside and monitors the health of their waste. Lead researcher Sanjiv Gambhir said he and his team developed the Precision Health smart toilet to recognize users and use algorithms to analyze the health of their urination and bowel movements. The researchers said the toilet identifies users by reading their finger- prints from the flush lever, but it also uses cameras to identify them by another part of the body. "We know it seems weird, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique," Gambhir said. The toilet takes video of stool samples and uses algorithms to analyze the consistency of the waste. "Everyone uses the bathroom -- there's really no avoiding it -- and that enhances its value as a disease- detecting device," Gambhir said. *--- That's an odd place to park a car ---* A British man who decided to build a deck in his garden during coronavirus lockdown made an unexpected discovery - an entire car buried in his yard. John Brayshaw, 40, who bought his Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, England, home six months ago, said he was digging post panels for a garden deck when he discovered the vehicle buried on its side. Brayshaw said the car, believed to be a 1955 or 1956 Ford Popular 103e, still has its engine, doors and license plate. He said all it appeared to be missing was its wheels. The man said he believes the buried car predates the previous residents of the home, who lived there for about 50 years. ========================================================= >-->From TheGroaner: _.--._ _.--._ ,-=.-":;:;:;\':;:;:;"-._ \\\:;:;:;:;:;\:;:;:;:;:;\ \\\:;:;:;:;:;\:;:;:;:;:;\ \\\:;:;:;:;:;\:;:;:;:;:;\ \\\:;:;:;:;:;\:;::;:;:;:\ \\\;:;::;:;:;\:;:;:;::;:\ \\\;;:;:_:--:\:_:--:_;:;\ -shimrod \\\_.-" : "-._\ \`_..--""--.;.--""--.._=> " >Don't Mind Me...

The seminar leader pounded home his point about the need to make decisions and take action on these decisions. "For instance," he said, "if you had five frogs on a log and three of them decided to jump, how many frogs would you have left on the log?" The answers from the group were unanimous: "Two." "Wrong," replied the speaker, "there would still be five because there is a difference between deciding to jump and jumping." -<>- Now that the metric system is in wide use all over the world, we can see why American have not adopted it: A miss is as good as 1.6 kilometers.

She rolled the paper into the typewriter and began striking the keys, leaving black letters of print on the page. "WOW!" they exclaimed, "that's really cool...but how does it work like that? Where do you plug it in?" "There is no plug," she answered. "It doesn't need a plug." "Then where do you put the batteries?" they persisted. "It doesn't need batteries either." she continued. "Wow!

NAMES If Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth and Barbara go out for lunch, they will call each other Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth and Barbara. If Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Scrappy. 2. EATING OUT When the bill arrives, Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom will each throw in a $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the women get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. 3. MONEY A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need, but it's on sale. 4. BATHROOMS A man has five items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Marriott. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify most of these items. 5. ARGUMENTS A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that... is the beginning of a new argument. 6.CATS Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats. 7. DRESSING UP A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. 8. FUTURE A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. 9. SUCCESS A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. 10. MARRIAGE A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does. ========================================================= >-->From AndyChaps: What is Maturity? ____ _[____]_ Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle ( '7') differences without violence or destruction. __)(^_ Maturity is patience.

The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities; then they do nothing. Maturity means dependability, keeping one's word, coming through in a crisis. The immature are masters of the alibi. They are confused and disorganized. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business, and good intentions that somehow never materialize. Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change, the courage to change that which SHOULD be changed - and the wisdom to know the difference. >Andy Says... Just Think About This! To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice (Proportedly to have come from Bill Gates) and who recently dished out at a high school speech about 11 things they did not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teaching has created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. This is a good one RULE 1 Life is not fair-get used to it. RULE 2 The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. RULE 3 You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both. RULE 4 If you think your teacher is tough, wait 'till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure. RULE 5 Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping - they called it opportunity. RULE 6 If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. RULE 7 Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. RULE 8 Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. RULE 9 Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time. RULE 10 Television is NOT real life? In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. RULE 11 Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. -<>- ______ _\ _~-\___ = = ==(____AA____D \_____\___________________,-~~~~~~~`-.._ / o O o o o o O O o o o o o o O o |\_ `~-.__ ___..----.. ) `---~~\___________/------------````` = ===(_________D -Roland >Real Air Traffic Control During taxi, the crew of a US Air departure flight to Ft.

I told you to turn right on 'Charlie' taxi way; you turned right on 'Delta'. Stop right there. I know it's difficult to tell the difference between C's and D's but get it right". Continuing her lashing to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically, "Gosh, you've screwed everything up; it'll take forever to sort this out.

This went on for several weeks. Then one afternoon as they sat coloring in her room she asked, "Mom, what does lmdz spell?" Kathryn smiled at her and said, "Nothing, sweetheart." The 5-year-old carefully set down her crayon, sighed and said, "Boy, there sure are a lot of ways to spell Nothing!" -<>- >MAIL PROCESSING in the USPS During a hectic night of mail processing at the post office, a number of letters fell off an elevated conveyor belt and scattered onto the floor.

Corollary: It will not be in the last place you expect to find it. * Kauffman's Paradox of the Corporation: The less important you are to the corporation, the more your tardiness or absence is noticed. * The Salary Axiom: The pay raise is just large enough to increase your taxes and just small enough to have no effect on your take-home pay. * Miller's Law of Insurance: Insurance covers everything except what happens. * First Law of Living: As soon as you start doing what you always wanted to be doing, you'll want to be doing something else. * Weiner's Law of Libraries: There are no answers, only cross-references. * Isaac's Strange Rule of Staleness: Any food that starts out hard will soften when stale. Any food that starts out soft will harden when stale. * Kenny's Law of Auto Repair: The part requiring the most consistent repair or replacement will be housed in the most inaccessible location. * Second Law of Business Meetings: If there are two possible ways to spell a person's name, you will pick the wrong one. Corollary - If there is only one way to spell a name, you will spell it wrong anyway. * The Grocery Bag Law: The candy bar you planned to eat on the way home from the market is hidden at the bottom of the grocery bag. * Yeager's Law: Washing machines break down only during the wash cycle. Corollary: All breakdowns occur on the plumber's day off. * Lampner's Law of Employment: When leaving work late, you will go unnoticed. When you leave work early, you will meet the boss in the parking lot. * Quile's Consultation Law: The job that pays the most will be offered when there is no time to deliver the services. * Loftus' Law: Some people manage by the book, even though they don't know who wrote the book or even which book it is. * Lovka's Dilemma: You never get away, you only get someplace else.
