Nilson, long renowned for honesty and steadfast determination, will be sorely missed in our community... In order to pay his medical school tuition, a student was working two jobs over the summer. One was as a butcher's assistant and the other as a hospital orderly, both jobs that required the young man wear a long white coat. One night he was wheeling a woman into surgery when she sat up suddenly, looked him in the eye, and screamed, "Oh No!, Save me!

I politely said no birds or animals. They hid the birds in a back room, anyway. Immediately after the service they went outside, each of them with a bird in its cage. They opened the cages in unison. One bird flew out and made a hard right turn. The other flew out and made a hard left turn. We all stood there watching the symbols of their forever love fly off in opposite directions. -<>- Fresh out of business school, the young man answered a want ad for an accountant. Now he was being interviewed by a very nervous man who ran a small business that he had started himself. "I need someone with an accounting degree," the man said. "But mainly, I'm looking for someone to do my worrying for me." "Excuse me?" the accountant said. "I worry about a lot of things," the man said. "But I don't want to have to worry about money. Your job will be to take all the money worries off my back." "I see," the accountant said. "And how much does the job pay?" "I'll start you at eighty thousand." "Eighty thousand dollars!" the accountant exclaimed. "How can such a small business afford a sum like that?"

After taking away 52 Sundays, there are only 313 days left. There are 50 days in the summer that are way too hot to work so there are only 263 days left. We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that counts up to 122 days so now we're left with 141 days. If we fooled around for only 1 hour a day, 15 days are gone, so we are left with 126 days. We spend 2 hours eating each day - 30 days are used in this way in the year, and we are left with 96 days in our year. We spend 1 hour a day speaking to friends and family, that takes away 15 days more and we are left with 81 days. Exams and tests take up at least 35 days in your year; hence you are only left with 46 days. Taking off approximately 40 days of holidays, you are only left with 6 days. Say you are sick for a minimum of 3 days; you're left with 3 days in the year to study! Let's say you only go out for 2 days...you're left with 1 day. But that 1 day is your birthday.

But she couldn't bring it home so she figured a way. She pawned the mink coat. She came home and told her husband she had found a pawn ticket, which was really the pawn ticket to her mink coat; and she asked her husband to find out what had been pawned. Her husband returned and told his wife it was a cheap watch. The next day his secretary was wearing a $10,000 mink coat. ---------- A window salesman phoned a customer. "Hello, Mr. Brown," said the Sales Rep, "I'm calling because our company replaced all the windows in your house with our triple-glazed weather-tight windows over a year ago, and you still haven't sent us a single payment."

Just give your paycheck to me, and I'll take care if it." The man suddenly looked at her curiously. "Say," he drawled, "are you my wife?" ---------- "The thrill is gone from my marriage," one buddy told another. "Why not add some intrigue to your life and have an affair?" "But what if my wife finds out?" "Heck, this is a new age we live in. Go ahead and tell her about it!" So the guy went home and said, "Dear, I think an affair will bring us closer together." "Forget it," said his wife. "I've tried that so many times, and it never worked. ---------- My grandfather always said, "Don't watch your money; watch your health."

Here's a quick money saving tip that you may not be aware of. As you know a new coat of paint can refresh any room, but at $30 per gallon, the cost can quickly add up. Ask about returned or clearance paint at the store. The big-box retailers such as Lowe's and Home Depot sell paint that has been returned by customers who weren't happy with the color - the paint itself it perfectly fine - they just sell at a steep discount. Or...contact your local recycling center. Many homeowners and local businesses dispose of unwanted paints and stains, and most of it is in good condition - and the center may let you have it for pennies. -<>- * Update your counters for less If your counters need a upgrade don't call a contractor - just pick up a can of countertop paint! Now of days they have some great resin-based countertop kits on the market that are super easy to use and can transform even the most outdated counter surfaces and make them look like marble, Silestone, and more - it's really an easy DIY that will look like you spent a fortune on. Check out kits by Rustoleum and Gianni in home-improvement stores - they cost between $60 - $100! What a steal! -<>- _____________ | ___ ___ ___ | ||_=_|_=_|_=_|| ||____===____|| ||____===____|| _|_____________|_ | _______________ | ||.-----___-----.|| |||_____________||| ||.-----___-----.|| |||_____________||| ||.-----___-----.|| |||_____________||| ||.-----___-----.|| ||| ||| |||_____________||| ''==============='' (o)LGB (o) * Spend Less on Tools Isn't frustrating when you need a tool you don't own for one simple project, and that you won't use again? Check out your local library, there are nearly 100 across the country that allow you to borrow tools for little to no cost. If there is no lending library by you consider renting a tool from your local hardware store or the big-box Home Depot or Lowe's. Just make sure whatever tool you are renting isn't 'commerical grade' or too complicated for a nonprofessional to use. -<>- * Grate Cold Butter I havent tried this little trick just yet, but I love the idea! Your stick of butter has to be close to frozen for it to work, and you must work fast to keep it from melting, but the grated butter is perfect for adding to flour before baking biscuits, scones, muffins, etc.. It also makes the butter melt much faster, so if your butter is too cold to spread, consider grating it first and then topping toast, veggies, or a baked potato! -<>- * Taste It Before You Make It Taste Meatloaf, Meatball, and Sausage Mixtures Before You Shape Them There might be worse things than spending the time to make a full-blown meatloaf only to discover that it doesn't have enough salt in it, but I can't think of any off hand. Here's the trick: when making meatloaf, sausage, or meatballs, take a small chunk of your mixture and fry it in a skillet (or even faster, microwave it for 10 to 15 seconds) and taste. Adjust seasoning levels in the mixture accordingly. --- ...My mom would taste it raw! Gross! My motto is the nose knows - smell it. God gave you a nose for a reason - use it.

Del Hall of Cincinnati said his Lent diet includes only beer, water, black coffee and herbal tea, and as of his Friday morning weigh-in -- day 3 of his diet -- he was down 5.8 pounds. "I only have three to five beers a day," Hall said. "It's not like I'm drinking constantly. If you eat your standard diet, it gets boring. You don't eat the same thing every day. So, I am definitely not going to drink the same thing every day." Hall said he successfully completed Lent beer diets in 2019 and 2020, each time noticing health benefits of the experience. He said he lost 40-50 pounds both years and noticed his blood pressure and cholesterol improved. "The human body is an amazing thing," Hall said. "We're used to going through as hunter-gatherers, feast and famine. The problem is we don't go through the famine anymore." Hall is raising money through a crowdfunding initiative dubbed "Sgt. Del's Virtual Tip Jar." He said the money will go toward local bars and restaurants that have suffered loses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. -<>- While climate change is still up for debate in some peoples' minds, evidence contines to mount that yes, it is happening and yes, it has real consequences. The latest evidence is the recent eruption of a number of Russian gas holes; massive craters have have been appearing in the Siberian tundra over the last couple of years. After the theory alien weapon technology was abandoned, Scientists have concluded on a more terrestrial cause. Massive craters have begun to appear in the Siberian tundra after a powerful blowout of methane gas throws ice and rock hundreds of feet away leaving a gaping circular scar in the landscape. So far 17 holes have been discovered in the Russian Arctic since 2013, mystifying scientists. Remote drone mapping of the interior of the most recently discovered crater has largely confirmed what scientists had hypothesized: Methane gas builds in a cavity in the ice, causing a mound to appear at ground level. The mound grows in size before blowing out ice and other debris in an explosion and leaving behind the massive crater. What's still unclear is the source of the methane. It could come from deep layers within the Earth or closer to the surface -- or a combination of the two. Permafrost is a huge natural reservoir of methane. Warmer summers have weakened the permafrost layer, which acts as a cap, making it easier for gas to escape. "These craters represent a ... process that was previously unknown to scientists," said Sue Natali, Arctic program director at the Woodwell Climate Research Center. While 17 craters have been documented so far, it's not known how many there are in total or when the next one could blow out. *--- Man breaks record for opening cans with mouth ---* An Ontario man broke a Guinness World Record -- but not any teeth -- when he used his jaws to bite open 24 full beverage cans in 1 minute. Chucky Mady, 32, an mixed martial arts fighter from Windsor, was recorded on video using his powerful jaws to rip the tops off the cans, causing soda to spray all over him and the surrounding area. "I've been doing it for years -- I started when I was 16," Mady said. "Just messing around. Party tricks." Mady said it was several years later before he decided to take on the world record. "One day, I was watching Guinness World Records Gone Wild on TV. There was this guy, Ryan Stock, who was doing it. His record was 11 cans in 1 minute, and I was like: 'I can do that.'" Guinness confirmed Mady set the new record at 24 cans. *--- Scientists unveil first clone of endangered ferret The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced the successful cloning of a black-footed ferret -- the first time an endangered U.S. animal has been cloned. The FWS said the female ferret, dubbed Elizabeth Ann, was cloned from the frozen cells of Willa, a black-footed ferret who lived more than 30 years ago. Black-footed ferrets were declared extinct in 1979, but two years later a small population was found living on a Wyoming farmer's property. Officials said all black-footed ferrets alive today are descended from seven individuals. Officials said Elizabeth Ann will become part of a breeding program and will add some genetic diversity to the species. "Without an appropriate amount of genetic diversity, a species often becomes more susceptible to diseases and genetic abnormalities," the agency said in a statement. The FWS said scientists are aiming to create more black-footed ferret clones in the coming months. *--- Man invents murder to get police to clear snow A Ukrainian man has reported a fictitious murder to police in the hope that they would clear snow from his road when they came to arrest him, regional authorities have said. The man called police on Saturday night to tell them he had killed his mother's partner by stabbing him. The man also advised police to bring a snowplough because "it was not possible to reach his house otherwise," a spokesman for the police added. Law enforcement officers were, however, able to reach the property in the small village of Grybova Rudnia in northwestern Ukraine using an all- terrain vehicle. The alleged victim was "safe and sound and no one had attacked him", the spokeswoman continued. The road in question had been cleared of snow in the morning, according to local authorities, but the man said he was unhappy with the work and hoped the police would finish the job. *--- his is a sticky situation all around ---* Louisiana woman Tessica Brown, 40, has gone viral over the past week after turning to her social media followers for help in undoing her "forever ponytail." She had run out of her go-to hairspray while putting the finishing touches on her look a few weeks before, so she used Gorilla Spray Adhesive by Gorilla Glue, instead - and now she can't get the industrial-strength adhesive off of her head. "My hair has been like this for about a month now. It's not by choice," she says in the video. She revealed she washed her hair 15 times, but the glue simply would not come off. "My hair, it don't move. You hear what I'm telling you?" she adds. Subsequent posts have shown her trying to loosen it up with a mixture of tea tree oil and coconut oil, which she called an "epic fail," as well as a trip to the St. Bernard Parish Hospital Emergency Room in Chalmette, La., which was also apparently unsuccessful. Brown has hired a lawyer and is considering her legal options. While the Gorilla Spray Adhesive label warns against using it on eyes, skin or clothing, there is no mention of hair, which sources close to the situation say Brown feels is "misleading." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Geniann :) d8888888888888888888888" 888888888888888888PYP"' d88888888888888888D 8888888888888888P' Y8888888888888b C8888888Y888888P Y88888'd88888" 8888P d8888P d8888D 88888 d888P' Y88dP nY88Pn Y88 8"""-----....._____ N +N 88' 8 NNNNNN8 N +N nd88n P NNNNNNP N +N N +N d dNN ... dNNNNNN __...---"Nn.

They sometimes shipped empty boxes without the tube inside. This challenged their perceived quality with the buyers and distributors. Understanding how important the relationship with them was, the CEO of the company assembled his top people. They decided to hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem. The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated, RFP, and third-parties selected. Six months (and $8 million) later they had a fantastic solution - on time, on budget, and high quality. Everyone in the project was pleased. They solved the problem by using a high-tech precision scale that would sound a bell and flash lights whenever a toothpaste box weighed less than it should. The line would stop, someone would walk over, remove the defective box, and then press another button to re-start the line. As a result of the new package monitoring process, no empty boxes were being shipped out of the factory. With no more customer complaints, the CEO felt the $8 million was well spent. He then reviewed the line statistics report and discovered the number of empty boxes picked up by the scale in the first week was consistent with projections, however, the next three weeks were zero! The estimated rate should have been at least a dozen boxes a day. He had the engineers check the equipment, they verified the report as accurate. Puzzled, the CEO traveled down to the factory, viewed the part of the line where the precision scale was installed, and observed, just ahead of the new $8 million dollar solution, sat a $20 desk fan blowing the empty boxes off the belt and into a bin. He asked the line supervisor what that was about.

Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 'Important; wake me at 5:00AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, 'It is 5:00AM. Wake up.'

The groom told the bride that he had a feeling that he could turn the two bucks into a fortune if he went down to the casino alone. Once in the casino, he put one dollar each into two slot machines and won Jackpots on both totaling $10,000. He then played blackjack for an hour until he had $50,000 in chips. Next, he played poker and upped his winnings to $100,000. He was about to cash in his chips when he got a hunch that his luck hadn't run out. So he took all his money and placed it on Black at the roulette table, hoping to double his money. But the ball came up Red. He returned to his hotel room. "How did you do?" asked the bride. The groom shrugged and said, "I lost two dollars." -<>- A man was sitting alone in his office one night when a genie popped up out of his ashtray. "And what will your third wish be?" The man looked at the genie and said, "Huh? How can I be getting a third wish when I haven't had a first or second wish yet?" "You have had two wishes already," the genie said, "but your second wish was for me to put everything back the way it was before you made your first wish. Thus, you remember nothing, because everything is the way it was before you made any wishes. You now have one wish left." "Okay," said the man, "I don't believe this, but what the heck. I've always wanted to understand women. I'd love to know what's going on inside their heads." "Funny," said the genie as it granted his wish and disappeared forever, "That was your first wish, too!" -<>- I am five feet, three inches tall and pleasingly plump.

He drew a circle on the side of the road and gruffly commanded the blonde, "stand in that circle and DON'T MOVE!". He then went to her car and cut up her leather seats. When he turned around she had a slight grin on her face, so he said, "Oh you think that's funny? Watch this!" He gets a baseball bat out of his truck and breaks every window in her car. When he turns and looks at her she has a smile on her face. He is getting really mad so he gets his knife back out and slices all her tires. Now she's laughing. The truck driver is really starting to lose it. He goes back to his truck and gets a can of gas, pours it on her car and sets it on fire. He turns around and she is laughing so hard she is about to fall down. "What's so funny?" the truck driver asked the blonde. She replied, "Every time you weren't looking, I stepped outside the circle!" -<>- >Are You OK?

"Don't know collateral." "Well that's something of value that would cover the cost of the loan. Have you got any vehicles?" "Yes, 1949 Chevy pickup." The banker shook his head, "How about livestock?" "Yes, I have a horse." "How old is it?" "Don't know, has no teeth." Finally the banker decided to make the $500 loan. Several weeks later the old man was back in the bank. He pulled out a roll of bills, "Here to pay." he said. He then handed the banker the money to pay his loan off. "What are you going to do with the rest of that money?" "Put in tepee." "Why don't you deposit it in my bank," he asked. "Don't know deposit." "You put the money in our bank and we take care of it for you. When you want to use it you can withdraw it."
