Because the sun was bright, my husband's eyes hadn't adjusted to the dim light inside in time to see a woman sitting on the floor examining carpet samples. He stepped on her leg and she screamed, causing him to jump into a display of fireplace tools that went crashing in every direction. Unnerved, my husband stumbled over to the service desk, and as he went to rest his hands on the counter, he flipped over a bowl full of little mints, scattering them everywhere. After taking a deep breath to calm himself, he announced to the wide-eyed woman working there, "My refrigerator doesn't work." "I don't doubt it," she replied. -<>- __ @@;, ( ; ? : ); _| |_ | | || | | _| |_ | \ \ \/ || \/ ___ / / | __| |\ __||____||___||______/| | ||| | |_______ _________| | ||| ||| |____ | | ____| ||| Design by \ \______ ) | | / ______/ / || | | | | | /___| || Samule J.

Thanks Del! ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: >From Our Friend Johanna :) By Jerry Beaven of American News One of [the President's] ... campaign promises was to support the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual (LGBT) agenda, and that promise included the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which had been signed into law by Bill Clinton, and to enact into law the Employment Non- Discrimination Act (ENDA) -- both high on the list of must-do legislation by America's homosexuals. To "change" the long held opinion of the American people on the concept of same-sex marriage is not an easy task. Already some 30 states have by solid majorities included in their constitutions the traditional, Bible-based concept of marriage as being between a man and a woman--yet at the same time, a few states have joined the 5 or 6 European countries which permit same sex marriage. The Catholic Church has been outspoken in its opposition to same sex marriage, as have been American Evangelicals--although the American Episcopal Church, in its huge Los Angeles diocese, has [earlier this year] ... installed an openly lesbian bishop, Mary Douglas Glasspool, who will join Vicky Gene Robinson as the other openly gay Episcopal bishop. Robinson's election has created a major schism in the world Anglican Communion. Among the spokespersons on this subject is the movie star, former sex symbol, Raquel Welsh, who [in May] at age 70 made this comment, "I'm ashamed to admit that I myself have been married four times, and yet I still feel that it is the cornerstone of civilization, an essential institution that stabilizes society, provides a sanctuary for children and saves us from anarchy." Related to this ongoing problem and the breakdown in the traditional family are these shocking statistics just released by the Pew Research Center, showing that since the findings in 1990, the number of children born out of wedlock have increased by 13%, from 28% in 1990 to 41% in 2008. This, too, is an important subject for prayer, that the continuing efforts of the nation's homosexual minority will be thwarted, and that the Christian concept of homosexuality as a sin, condemned by God in His word, might once again prevail in America. We ought never to forget or ignore the views of our Founding Fathers: "The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity... I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God." -- John Adams, 1776 "Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure ... are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments." -- Charles Carroll, 1800 Jerry Beavan in American News.

How, a lot of people ask, can it possibly get that bad? Well, there are stories like the one that broke recently about the Illinois state prison board member who took an 18 month sick leave while collecting a salary of $85,000-a-year. Of course, that affects the state budget, not the federal budget, but you know, in a bureaucracy the size of the federal government, that kind of thing is going on all over the place. However, there is a much more telling example of mind-numbing waste from another monstrous bureaucracy, the British Government. It seems the British tax-payers, through a grant from the British Arts Council, have paid for an exhibit of invisible pictures. Polish artist Agnieszka Kurant got a grant for a show that included "a painting that hasn't been painted yet". Kurant's exhibition also had "an invisible sculpture" and "a movie shot with no film in the camera". Culture Department officials insisted there were "substantial benefits for English artists and audiences." Maybe I'm in the wrong racket. Apparently I should have gone to work for the state of Illinois. I'm too old for that now, but I can still take up art. There is already a painting that hasn't been painted yet, and an invisible sculpture, but maybe I can write a book with no words in it, or compose a song with no music. No, wait, rap already exists. -- German unmasked in 'Operation Spiderman' -------- LOS ANGELES - Inspectors in Los Angeles say "Operation Spiderman" ended with the arrest of a German man who allegedly mailed hundreds of live tarantulas to the United States. Sven Koppler, 37, Watchberg, Germany, was picked up shortly after arriving in Los Angeles to meet with an association, the U.S. attorney's office announced Friday. Koppler was charged with violating animal-smuggl- ing laws and ordered to appear in federal court Friday afternoon. Prosecutors said in a written statement that Koppler allegedly twice shipped boxes packed with between 250 and 300 live spiders from Germany to Los Angeles. The discovery of one of the shipments during a routine inspect- ion of international mail sparked the undercover operation dubbed "Operation Spiderman." Postal inspectors and agents of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service posed as buyers and had Koppel mail them five boxes holding dozens of tarant- ulas. Among the spiders were several Mexican red-kneed tarantulas, a species that is protected under international law, the statement said. -- Student's picture wrongly used for convict -------- GAINESVILLE, Fla. - A University of Florida student said he searched his name on Google and found authorities were using his picture to represent a similarly named convict. Zachary Garcia, a student at the Gainesville school, said an online search for his name brought up his picture associated with a Polk County Sheriff's Office report of a murder convict named Zachery Garcia, who spells his first name with an "e" rather than an "a," WTSP-TV, Tampa, Fla., reported Thursday. "I was just very shocked to find my picture and the article saying that I was convicted of a felony murder charge," the student said, "and I was just very shocked and angry that someone put my name up there and said I did something I didn't do." "Everybody makes mistakes," Garcia said. "I work at Publix and I might get somebody's sub (order) wrong.

FROZEN FOODS - Frozen foods that have become an integral part of the defrosting problem in your freezer compartment will probably be spoiled (or wrecked anyway) by the time you pry them out with a kitchen knife. EGGS - When something starts pecking its way out of the shell, the egg is probably past its prime. DAIRY PRODUCTS - Milk is spoiled when it starts to look like yogurt. Yogurt is spoiled when it starts to look like cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is spoiled when it starts to look like regular cheese. Regular cheese is nothing but spoiled milk anyway - if you can dig down and still find something non-green, bon appetit! MEAT - If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from a three-block radius to congregate outside your house, toss the meat. UNMARKED ITEMS: You know it is well beyond prime when you're tempted to discard the Tupperware along with the food. CANNED GOODS - Any canned goods that have become the size or shape of a softball should be disposed of very care- fully. POTATOES - Fresh potatoes do not have roots, branches, or dense, leafy undergrowth. BREAD: Sesame seeds and Poppy seeds are the only officially acceptable "spots" that should be seen on the surface of any loaf of bread. Fuzzy and hairy looking white or green growth areas are good indications that your bread has turned into a pharmaceutical laboratory experiment. You may wish to discard it at this time, depending on your interest in pharmaceuticals. CEREAL: It is generally a good rule of thumb that cereal should be discarded when it is two years or longer beyond the expiration date, or when it will no longer fall out of the box by itself. FLOUR: Flour is spoiled when it wiggles, or things fly out when you open it. PRETZELS: Normally eternal, pretzels may be discarded if they can no longer be picked up without falling apart. Otherwise, there's nothing to stop you from eating a pretzel that the Pharaoh put down only 4000 years ago. RAISINS: Raisins should not usually be harder than your teeth. SALT: It never spoils. However, if you can't chip off reasonable amounts from the block, maybe another box is in order, as fresh salt usually pours. SPICES: Most spices cannot die, they just fade away. They will be fine on your shelf, forever. Put them in your will. VINEGAR: If your grandmother made it, it is probably still good. THE GAG TEST - Anything that makes you gag is spoiled (except for leftovers from what you cooked for yourself last night). EXPIRATION DATES: This is not a marketing ploy to encourage you to throw away perfectly good food so that you'll spend more on groceries. Even dry foods older than you are may be ready to replace. Perhaps you'd benefit by having a calendar in your kitchen. =============================================================== >-->From AndyChaps: , ----. - - ` ,__.,' \ .' *` / | | / **\ . / ****. | mm | ****| \ | ****| ` ._______ \ ****/ \ /`---' \___( /~~~~\ / \ / | \ | | \ , ~~ . |, ~~ . | |\ ( |||| ) ( |||| )(,,,)` ( |||||| )-( |||||| ) | ^ ( |||||| ) ( |||||| ) |'/ ( |||||| )-( |||||| )___,'- ( |||| ) ( |||| ) ` ~~ ' ` ~~ ' >** Andy Says...

"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." -- Will Rogers "We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" -- M. Facklam "Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate." -- Sigmund Freud "The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue." -- Anonymous "Dogs need to sniff the ground; it's how they keep abreast of current events. The ground is a giant dog newspaper, containing all kinds of late-breaking dog news items, which, if they are especially urgent, are often continued in the next yard." -- Dave Barry "Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like never washed a dog." -- Franklin P. Jones "If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise." -- Chrissie Wagner "I wonder what goes through his mind when he sees us peeing in his water bowl." -- Penny Ward Moser "A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down." -- Robert Benchley "No animal should ever jump up on the dining-room furniture unless absolutely certain that he can hold his own in the conversation." -- Fran Lebowitz "I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult." -- Rita Rudner "My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can.

They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!" -- Anne Tyler "If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons." -- James Thurber "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." -- Robert A.

I know this isn't Health Joke of the Day but I need to address some of your concerns and here they go... Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these?vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable slop. Q: Is beer or wine bad for me? A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and vegetables. As we all know, scientists divide everything in the world into three categories: animal, mineral, and vegetable. We all know that beer and wine are not animal, and they are not on the periodic table of elements, so that only leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a burger and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables. Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain - Good. Q: If I stop smoking, will I live longer? A: Nope. Smoking is a sign of individual statement and peace of mind. If you stop, you'll probably stress yourself to death in record time. Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: You're not listening. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: What's the secret to healthy eating? A: Thicker gravy. Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? Cocoa beans... Another vegetable. It's the best feel good food around! I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. -<>- _.,_ ,-'.' .`-, ;; '.

Certainly that would seem to make it the worst disease in the country. I think I have a candidate for one even worse. Even though I have been sober for 27 years, I still consider myself a recovering alcoholic. I am familiar with the mind set that accompanies addiction. After that first drink, the mind releases its tensions, its inhibitions. You have some fun and all seems well with the world. After a while, the mind begins to focus on the need for the next drink. The buzz of the first drink in wearing off and things are not as carefree and happy as they were just a half hour ago. Everything will be OK just as soon as I have the next drink. Always seeking the satisfaction that comes with the next drink. The ugly reality for the alcoholic is that the satisfied feeling never lasts very long. He always needs one more drink and one more and one more. The ultimate result - a wasted life. Now let's stop for a minute and think - where else in our society do we see this same addictive behavior? An addiction suffered by maybe 100 million Americans. I call them consumerholics. They have all the same symptoms as the alcoholic. They have to buy that next thing they feel "they need". It makes little difference, it could be clothing, toys, computer stuff, another addition to the house, exercise equipment, a car or a canoe or maybe a $5.00 cup of coffee. Just like the alcoholic, the buzz lasts for a little while (a few days or even a week) but then the need for some new gizmo takes over and the consumerholic obsesses until finally they and go buy it and the cycle starts again. Few of us realize how deeply we are influenced by the "needs" implanted in our brain by advertising. To the consumerholic there is no such thing as "enough". They are never really satisfied AND never will be. They don't seem to know or want to know, you cannot buy a satisfied mind. Sad, because the simple fact is, its free. It's the state of mind of a happy person. A word of caution here. The last person to recognize that they are sick is the alcholic. He doesn't have a problem, he's just having a good time - what the hell, everybody has a couple of drinks, right. Me, a consumerholic ? - get outa here - everybody has to buy stuff, right. Editors note. Hundreds of millions of people, in poverty stricken countries, suffer slave like working conditions making the crap that keeps the consumerholic supplied with their next fix.

Suddenly, the temperature dropped and a furious snowstorm was upon them. They came across an isolated cabin, far removed from any town. The hunters had heard that the locals in the area were quite hospitable, so they knocked on the door to ask permission to rest. No one answered their knocks, but they discovered the cabin was unlocked and they entered. It was a simple place ... 2 rooms with a minimum of furniture and household equipment. Nothing was unusual about the cabin except the stove. It was large, pot-bellied, and made of cast-iron. What was strange about it was its location ... it was suspended in midair by wires attached to the ceiling beams. "Fascinating," said the psychologist. "It is obvious that this lonely trapper, isolated from humanity, has elevated this stove so that he can curl up under it and vicariously experience a return to the womb." "Nonsense!" replied the engineer. "The man is practicing the laws of thermodynamics. By elevating his stove, he has discovered a way to distribute heat more evenly throughout the cabin." "With all due respect," interrupted the theologian, "I'm sure that hanging his stove from the ceiling has religious meaning. Fire LIFTED UP has been a religious symbol for centuries." The three debated the point for several hours without resolving the issue. When the trapper finally returned, they immediately asked him why he had hung his heavy pot-bellied stove from the ceiling. His answer was succinct. "Had plenty of wire, not much stove pipe." -<>- __---__ ______ / ___\_ o O O _( )__ /====(_____\___---_ o _( )_ | \ (_ AI-YA!!!! ) | |@ (_ Shot _) \ ___ / (__ Again!__) \ __----____--_\____(____\_____/ (______) ==|__----____--______| / / \____/)_ / ______) / | | | _| | ______\______________|______ / * * \ /_____________*____*___________\ / * * \ /________________________________\ / * \ /__________________________________\ | | |________________________| | | |________________________| unknown >** Mind Games Dogs Play With Their Humans ** , _ )\ __`9) _,/^`^(G)-' < \(\a a ) / ) `(v__/` ,_ (_, ) mic `U) _,) )-(_/ (_/ (_/ After your humans give you a bath, DON'T LET THEM TOWEL DRY YOU!
