The wife comes home sooner than expected, sits, and gets the seat stuck to her rear. She is understandably distraught about this and asks her husband to drive her to the doctor. She puts on a large overcoat so as to cover the stuck seat, and they go. When they get to the doctor's, the man lifts his wife's coat to show their predicament.

As we were walking to the car, my daughter turned to me and said, "That was my math tutor." -<>- >Native Tongue A few years ago, I decided to visit my brother who was stationed in Germany. I assumed that most Germans would speak English. But I found that many people spoke only their native tongue - including the ticket inspector on the train. He punched my ticket, then chatted cordially for a bit, making gestures like a windmill. I simply nodded from time to time to show him that I was interested. When he had gone, an American woman soldier in the compartment leaned forward and asked if I spoke German. "No," I confessed. "Then that explains," she said, "why you didn't bat an eyelid when he told you that you were on the wrong train." -<>- >Celery After my husband asked me to help him shed some unwanted pounds, I stopped serving fattening TV snacks and substituted crisp celery.

When it was over, my husband turned to me. "Did you ever notice," he asked, "that they never advertise celery on TV?" ========================================================= >-->From My Son Victor :) __________ | ________ | ||12345678|| |""""""""""| |[M|#|C][-]| |[7|8|9][+]| |[4|5|6][x]| |[1|2|3][%]| |[.|O|:][=]| "----------" hjw [Politics] Outside of my health care career, I became a Tax Specialist. Joe Biden promises to not raise taxes on income less than 400K per year. He doesn't have to because he has also promised to revoke the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (JCTA, Trump's tax cuts of 2017). In 40 years of doing taxes I never dreamed of seeing a 12%, much less 10% tax rate, which is what the JCTA gave to EVERY ONE OF US. In 2020, this means that for the 1st $9,875 (single)/$19,750 (married filing joint) is only taxed at 10%. The next large chunk of our earned, unearned and retirement income is only taxes at 12%. 22% tax rate is only applied to the dollar amounts over $40,126 (single) and $80,251 (MFJ). The income brackets for these fabulous tax rates increase each year of the TCJA. This provides thousands of dollars of tax cuts to every American. If it goes away, so does thousands of tax cuts to every American. SO, Joe doesn't have to say he is raising the taxes on us folks earning less than $400K/year - by repealing JCTA, he is automatically raising our taxes - rather dishonest communication, wouldn't you say? I am posting this for educational purposes. Whatever you decide, I hope everyone makes an informed voting decision, not just one based on their hatred of one man. There are serious consequences. --- ...Yes! What they have been saying! Thanks Victor! Here's a couple for you...

"Now, what's your third question?" ---------- Early one morning, a mother went in to wake up her son. "Wake up, son. It's time to go to school!" "But why, Mom? I don't want to go." "Give me two reasons why you don't want to go." "Well, the kids hate me for one, and the teachers hate me, too!" "Oh, that's no reason not to go to school. Come on now and get ready." "Give me two reasons why I *should* go to school." "Well, for one, you're 52 years old. And for another, you're the PRINCIPAL!" ---------- My mother and I were walking through the mall when a man stopped us to ask if we would take part in a survey. One of the questions was; "Do you think there is too much love making in movies?" "I don't know," replied my mother.

The line wasn't clearly formed, and there was an old man with a cane nearby me. It was unclear as to who was next. When we got to the front of the line, the man gestured to me and said, "After you." I smiled at him and said, "No, please, after you. I have all day." Then he said, "No. You go ahead.

Today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind! If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him. Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America. Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good. It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it. People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves. People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees. Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated. Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome. $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not. If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free. People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President. We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us. Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now. Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights. And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?! Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese, even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right. Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be?

She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead. The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection. Thought this was interesting and might be of use. On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in Toledo dead, self-defense experts have a tip that could save your life. Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania Southview High School. For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed. Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them." Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so, if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says "spray the culprit in the eyes". It's a tip he's given to students for decades. It's also one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for protection, Glinka says look to the spray. "That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save a life. Please share this with all the people who are precious to your life. Did you also know that wasp spray will kill a snake? And a mouse! It will! Good to know, huh? It will also kill a wasp.!!!! --- ...Great idea! I think a spider would be toast too! Thanks LouiseAu! ========================================================= >-->From HandyHints: ,-.

Essentials like toilet paper, paper towels and food eat up a lot of our budget because, well, they're essential. But if you want to save money or trips to the store - or both - a few simple tips will help you make your household staples last longer. * Force yourself to save toilet paper with a clever hotel trick To ensure each roll of bathroom tissue lasts days longer than normal, steal a trick hotels swear by for saving money on TP. Just squish the roll to flatten it a little so it doesn't spin as fast. The main reason we use more toilet paper than we need is that we wiat for the roll to stop spinning. When it stops sooner, we automatically take less. * Add days to beef by browning it Ground beef typically lasts 2 days before it begins to turn, and sometimes that's just not long enough. The easy way to stop it from ending up in the trash is to cook it immediately. Once cooked, the meat is safe to eat for up to 4 days when stored properly in the fridge. Once you brown the ground beef you can add it to pasta sauce, scrambled eggs, tacos or pizza later. --- ...Freeze your meat right away - lasts for weeks that way! * Stretch your paper towels If you find yourself plowing through rolls of paper towels, try recycling them. It's not as gross as it sounds! Obviously this is a bad idea if you use a paper towel to wipe your mouth or mop up a spill, but if you use a towel for something like drying your hands or drying a clean dish or countertop, set it aside to dry. You can use a magnetic chip clip to hang it on your fridge! Most paper towels are strong enough to be used at least twice. Then you can use it again for a messy job like cleaning your range top or taking care of a spill on the floor. -<>- >Things you never thought you could do with a potato. * Peeling potatoes can be dull and tough, especially if you're preparing a meal that requires a lot of them. Sure, there are certain methods that promise to save time, but they often seem to do more harm than good. I just found a potato-peeling method that's sure to save tons of time in kitchen prep. First, boil your potatoes whole, with the skin on. Then, while they're still hot transfer them to an ice bath for 10-15 seconds. That's all it takes to loosen the skin. From there you can give them a gentle twist with your hands and the skin should come right off. No more peeling! * Remove stains using potatoes...really! Potatoes are excellent stain removers and they can safely be used in a lot of ways around the house. Use them on your hands to remove the stains left behind by beets or berries or blot them into carpet or other fabrics to clean up stubborn spots. Add some salt for extra scrubbing power for particularly troublesome stains. * Clean silverware using potato water Want to clean up your fine silver without all of the chemical scrubbing? Boil a few potatoes in water until they're soft and ready to eat. Set the potatoes aside (for dinner, perhaps?) and place the silverware in the potato water. Allow it to sit for at least an hour. Remove the silver and wipe dry to remove the tarnish. -<>- __________ |DAILY NEWS| |&&& ======| |=== ======| |=== == %%$| |[_] ======| |=== ===!##| ejm97 |__________| >What to do with old newspaper. Newspaper is a very absorbent product. This means it is good at absorbing all sorts of moisture, including moisture and the resulting odors found in shoes and vegetable drawers. If your fridge is starting to smell funky, crumple up some newspapers, spritz them with water, and throw them in your fridge to clear it up. Wad up a big bunch of newspaper and stick them down into the shoes for a day or two. Set them outside in the sunshine if possible. Severely stinky shoes may require a removal of newspaper and re-stuffing of fresh newspaper after the first day for a continued de-stinking treatment. Great tip for winter... I know you don't want to think about winter now, but it's coming and coming fast! Create a home for slushy snow boots. During the winter, keep a pile of newspaper near the entryway. When your little snowmen and women come home, they can toss their winter wear onto the newspaper instead of creating puddles on the floor. * Newspaper as a grill cleaner? Yep, that's right! Turn off the barbecue and allow it to cool a little. Soak newspaper in water, lay the sheets over the warm barbecue grill, close the lid and leave for approximately an hour. Then simply remove the paper and wipe the grill clean. ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: Jeanine Pirro (10-17-2020) https://www.bitchute.com/video/n0yOeDqsqEdW/ A New Era Of Life: Amy Coney Barrett Destroys Liberals Warped View Of Women https://tinyurl.com/yygrshb4 NBC Finally Blames “Mismanagement” Rather than Global Warming for CA Fires / Emails, Testimony and Laptop Prove Biden Inc. is Not a Russian Hoax And MORE: https://reliablenewsnow.com/ Chinese Communist Government Gets The Credit for These Terrorist Groups and More: https://deepstatejournal.com/ France moves to expel 231 radicalized foreigners after assassination of teacher / Sen.

Politicians the world over are suckers for the easy money their offices can provide for them. But at least in America our corrupt politicians (or 'politicians' as they're called) are a little more discreet about their graft than they are in Brazil. One Brazilian senator was caught stealing, literally with his pants down. Brazilian senator Jair Bolsonaro was caught hiding money in his underwear during a police investigation into the diversion of public funds for fighting the coronavirus, local media reported. Federal officers raided the home of Chico Rodrigues in the northern state of Roraima as part of a corruption probe. They found 30,000 reales ($5,300) in cash, part of which was discovered in Rodrigues's underwear, including "between his buttocks," said sources from the investigation. The federal police confirmed they were trying to dismantle a "possible criminal scheme diverting public funds" set aside to combat the outbreak in Roraima state. Rodrigues meanwhile issued a statement saying the police "did their job carrying out a search as part of an investigation in which I'm cited," although he made no mention of the cash nor where it was allegedly found. He complained that he'd had his "home invaded just for doing my job as a legislator" and insisted he had done nothing wrong. -<>- A man out for a run on a Utah trail captured video of his frightening 6-minute encounter with a "scary kitty cat" -- a mother cougar. Kyle Burgess said he was out for a 10-mile run at Slate Canyon in Provo when he spotted four cougar cubs on the trail ahead of him. Burgess said he was filming the cubs when their mother showed up and followed him for 6 minutes. The video shows Burgess calling the mother a "scary kitty cat" and shouting profanely at the animal to leave him alone. "Come on, dude, I don't feel like dying today," Burgess says after the cougar repeatedly lunges at him. Burgess said he was scared and filled with adrenaline during the encounter. "It was a very long 6 minutes," he told local news. The cougar finally turned and went back toward her cubs after Burgess threw a rock in her direction. "Honestly right now it still feels like a dream," Burgess said. Scott Root, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' conservation outreach manager for central Utah, said Burgess "did awesome" during the encounter. Root said wildlife officers searched the area the day after the encounter, but did not find the mother or her cubs. "So hopefully she's moved on," Root said. --- ...Here's the video - WARNING - Strong LANGUAGE!! - Scary!

Customs and Border Protection officials said specialists at the Jacksonville International Mail Facility discovered a package that arrived from Hungary contained more than 200 equine bones. Daniel Alonso, the acting director of field operations for the agency's Miami and Tampa field offices, tweeted photos of the bones arranged to create a complete horse skeleton. "No horsing around this Halloween," Alonso tweeted. Alonso said the package did not have a required veterinary services permit and would not be sent along to its intended destination. *--- Young and dumb tourist returns cursed artifacts ---* A contrite Canadian woman who took pieces from the ancient Italian city of Pompeii 15 years ago returned the fragments with a letter explaining how they brought a "curse" to her life. The woman, who signed the letter with the name Nicole, said she visited the Archaeological Park of Pompeii when she was "young and dumb" about 15 years ago. Nicole's letter -- which accompanied a package containing two mosaic tiles, parts of an amphora and a piece of ceramics -- said she had experienced a string of bad luck since the theft that included two bouts with breast cancer. "Please, take them back, they bring bad luck," she wrote. A spokeswoman for the archaeological park said there have been about a hundred previous incidents of tourists sending Pompeii artifacts back to the city along with apologetic notes claiming the objects were cursed. *--- Knife juggler slices 40 apples ---* An Idaho man showed off his coordination and broke a Guinness World Record when he sliced through 40 thrown crab apples while juggling three knives. David Rush, who has broken more than 150 Guinness records to promote STEM education, enlisted the help of neighbor Jonathan Hannon to take on the record for most apples sliced in 1 minute while juggling knives (team of two). The pair had to beat the goal of 36, which was set by Josh and Cassie Horton on the set of Live with Kelly and Ryan in 2018. Rush, who has been juggling since 2004, said it took 1 1/2 years of "casual training" and several weeks of "serious preparation" to get to the point where he could take on the record. Hannon threw 41 crab apples in the 1 minute time period, and Rush sliced through all but one, setting the new record at 40. *--- Bacon face mask gives wearers the aroma of bacon ---* A U.S. company is offering fans of breakfast meats the chance to enjoy the scent of sizzling pork anytime they want with a bacon-scented face mask.

However, an enterprising journalist decided to get the scoop of the day by photographing the fearsome phantom. When he entered the house, armed with only his camera, the ghost descended upon him. He told the ghost "I mean no harm - I just want your photograph". The ghost was quite happy at this chance to make the headlines - he posed for a number of ghostly shots. The happy journalist rushed back to his dark room, and began developing the photos. Unfortunately, they turned out to be black and underexposed. So what's the moral of the story? The spirit was willing but the flash was weak. -<>- >Random Randomings I went to a seafood disco last week... and pulled a mussel.

"Look, a scale," the man said to his friend. "Let's see how my new diet is working out." He stepped on the scale. "I can't believe it!" he said as he read the result. "I've been on this diet for two weeks but the scale says I'm heaver than I was before! How can that be?" He pondered this as he stepped off the scale, then had a thought. He took off his jacket and handed it to his friend. "Here, hold my jacket," he said. The friend took the jacket as the man stepped back on the scale. Not much change.

The Queen then stood up, raises her hands in the air, and her beloved followers yelled, whistled, and clapped until she had lowered her hand. The Queen then sat back down and looked at the Pope to see what he had to say. The Pope sat for a moment deeply contemplating on how he could top her stunt. He then said to the Queen, with great confidence, "With a movement of MY hand I can not only make this crowd go wild, but give them a story so great they will tell their children, their children's children, and so on." "I highly doubt that," remarked the Queen.
