"Give me your money," he demanded. Indignant, the affluent man replied, "You can't do this - I'm a United States Congressman!" "In that case," replied the mugger, "give me MY money!" -<>- A husband desperate to keep his wife happy offers to buy her a new car. She cutely declines his offer by saying, "That's not quite what I had in mind." Frantically he offers her a new house. Again she rejects his offer, "That's not quite what I had in mind." Curious, he asks: "What did you have in mind?" She retorts, "I'd like a divorce." He answers, "I hadn't planned on spending quite that much." -<>- One liners Ninety-nine percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. Borrow money from a pessimist -- they don't expect it back.

We were successful in finding an appropriately sized one for her. She unwrapped the instrument with great pleasure, then tucked it under her tiny chin, serious and solemn. She slowly ran the bow across the strings, and there was a squeal of discord. She looked up at us in surprise. "Where's the music?" she asked. -<>- >Childbirth Since I was expecting my first child, I had attended natural childbirth classes. One of my classmates was in the hospital in labor at the same time I was. She quickly requested drugs to ease her pain, while I gave birth aided only by my husband's coaching. When the nurses rolled me out of the delivery room, I spotted a chalkboard. Beside my classmate's name was an A-; next to mine was a B+. "Look at that!" I complained to my husband. "She took all the drugs they'd give her and made an A-. I did it naturally and only got a B+." My patient husband rolled his eyes.

I smiled and said, "Sure was a lot of 'em, huh sir?" -------- On the weekend of the biggest motorcycle gathering of the year, I was working at a club nearby. When the roaring machines pulled up outside, our patrons' eyes swung toward the door and conversation turned into uneasy whispering. A group of tough-looking bikers walked up to me, and one of them asked me where the phone was. I pointed it out, and the silence in the room let everybody overhear what the biker said into the receiver. "Hi, Mom. Just want to let you know I'll be home late tonight." -------- Early one morning, a mother went in to wake up her son. "Wake up, 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!" -------- A golfer stood over his tee shot for what seemed an eternity.

"Forget it, man, you'll never hit her from here!" -------- A stewardess approached a gentleman who was voicing his complains rather loudly. "Yes, Sir?" "I want to complain about this airline.

"Sweetheart, Daddy and I would like to give you a baby brother," replied her mom, "But there just isn't time before your birthday."

In an unprecedented move, newly elected GOP President Donald J. Trump has extended an olive branch to his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. After a brief discussion by phone this afternoon, Trump said that he and Hillary had agreed that she would join his administration in January in a very important capacity. Clinton will assume the role of Ambassador to Libya and will serve in the city of Benghazi. When asked for comment about this new opportunity, she replied "What difference, at this point does it make?" --- ...LOL! Great!

An Australian man shot an intruder with a bow and arrow as he was trying to steal his car from his house, but the intruder got away and the man may face charges. A 68-year-old man who was home with his wife prevented the theft of his car, but not of a large amount of cash and a purse, by shooting a would-be robber in the buttocks with a bow and arrow. In addition to investigating the robbery, police also say they must investigate the homeowner because of Australia's strict laws against assault -- even an intruder in your house. The intruder broke into the man's house taking the items and, as the robber was getting into his Nissan X-Trail, the homeowner went into the garage, confronting the intruder. The robber got the car out of the garage but hit a fence. As the robber was running down the street, the homeowner shot the man in the buttocks with a bow and arrow. The robber managed to get to a parked car and, somehow, drive it away. "At this point in time we have been given information by the homeowner, police have attempted to speak to him," said Detective Inspector Dean Johnstone. "He's maintained his right to silence, this is a matter we'll investigate." While bows and arrows are not restricted weapons in Australia, and the man is part of an archery club, it is possible the man could be charged for shooting the intruder to his home, Johnstone said. -<>- A man in China, who lost an ear in a car accident, is rejoicing after doctors managed to grow a new ear on his forearm. The man who was identified as Mr. Ji of Xi'an, was seriously injured as a result of the car accident. He underwent several surgical procedures, but doctors could not save his right ear. Ji became sad as he felt incomplete without an ear on the right side of his head. He was sent to Doctor Guo Shuzhong, who devised a way to grow a new ear on his arm and have it implanted on his head in about four months. Shuzhong first implanted a skin expander under Ji's right arm. In the next step, Shuzhong will take cartilage from Ji's ribs to create the form of the artificial ear. The final stage, which will be carried out in the coming months, will involve the fully grown ear being removed from the patient's arm and attached to his head. --- ...Reminds me of this heartwarming one... Girl Gets New Ear! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/girlgetsear.html *- Then Again, Maybe the Australians Are On to Something -* A father was arrested after shooting his baby while he was repairing his gun. The North Dakota father was arrested for shooting his 6-month-old daughter while she was in his care. 36-year-old Christopher Simmons was charged with reckless endangerment, and he faces five years in prison. Bismarck police said the Simmons told officers that his rifle malfunctioned so he tried to repair it when it accidentally fired a round. The bullet hit the baby in the left side of the neck, police said. The baby was rushed to a hospital and she is expected to recover. *---------------- Happy Holidays ----------------* A fun-loving couple is very happy after a judge allowed them to change their legal names so that they can to bring cheer to others. Jeff and Mary Brookstein of Omaha, Nebraska, used to dress up as Santa and Mrs. Claus to cheer people up around Christmas time. However, they wanted to bring joy to people all year round. Jeff said that he came home one day, and asked his wife whether it was a good idea to change his name to Santa Claus. Mary replied that she had also thought about changing her name to Merry Christmas. The couple filed papers to have their names changed, and a judge approved their request to change their names to Santa and Merry Christmas Claus. They will be working together in malls and at other events during the Christmas season. *---------- They Went Out With a Bang ----------* A young couple making love in a car inside a garage reportedly made the deadly mistake of turning on the ignition to keep warm. The pair died from carbon monoxide poisoning, according to Russian media. Relatives found them naked and locked in each other's arms in the garage of the man's parents. Russian media reportedly identified the couple as 18-year-old Artem S. and 20-year-old Anna D. from Ufa, in southern central Russia. Police said they believed the pair wanted to turn the heat on as temperatures dipped below freezing. Family members said Artem and Anna claimed they were going out for a walk -- but wound up in his car. The two had been dating for just a few months. He'd just graduated from catering college and wanted to open an auto body shop, because they teach drastically different things in catering colleges in Russia. *-- Men Take Taxi to Robbery, Don't Pay Driver --* Two men in New Jersey were arrested after taking a taxi to rob a home and refusing to pay their driver. Kenneth Burke, 46, and Timothy Foote, 38, took a taxi to a neighborhood in Deal Township and asked the driver to wait outside as the entered a home. The two later emerged from the home with a television and several liquor bottles and rode the cab back to an apartment in Asbury Park. Upon their arrival Burke and Foote left the taxi without paying their fare, prompting the driver to call Asbury Park police. Asbury Park police contacted police in Deal, who determined the house had been burgled and returned the stolen items. Burke and Foote taken to Monmouth County Correctional Institution and charged with burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, criminal trespassing and theft. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Bunni :) NO NEWS...

"He's been divorced and remarried. He can't commit to anything.” “He's dangerously ignorant about international affairs. "The Russian leaders will walk all over him.” “He has no filter – doesn't think before he speaks.” “Until recently, he was a Democrat. He's not a real Republican. He hasn't Paid his GOP dues." “He used to be Pro Choice. Now, suddenly he's Pro Life?” “That can't be his real hair!” “He's a loose cannon. No one wants HIS finger on the nuclear button.” “His opponent has the experience and political savvy to be president. He Does not.” “He's just not presidential.” “His temperament disqualifies him from ever being Commander-In-Chief.” “He's proven himself to be mentally unstable. “The military will never accept him as Commander-In-Chief. He's not smart Enough.” “The GOP doesn't want him to be the head of the party. He could never reach across the aisle to get anything done.” “Most Republican voters will just stay home rather than go out and vote for Him." “He's almost 70 – much too old to be president.” “Evangelicals will never support him.” “He says '(Let’s) Make America Great Again'. How dare he say we aren't Still great?!?!” "His intellect is thinner than spit on a slate rock.” “90 percent of Republican state chairmen judge him guilty of 'simplistic Approaches,' with 'no depth in federal government administration' and 'no experience in foreign affairs.'” “His spontaneity with reporters and voters plays well but also gives him plenty of space to disgorge fantasies and factual errors so prolific and often outrageous that he single-handedly makes the word gaffe a permanent fixture in America’s political vernacular. He confuses Pakistan with Afghanistan. He claimed once that trees contributed 93 percent of the atmosphere’s nitrous oxide...” “After all his gaffes, he doubles down on them instead of admitting he made a mistake.” “He's threatening to upend our treaties and relationships with our allies by Demanding that they pay for their own defense!” “Because of his gross factual errors, he might take rash action and needlessly lead this country into open warfare!” “He's racist, xenophobic, and fuels the fires of hatred!” "You shouldn't take him seriously. He has a penchant for offering simplistic solutions to hideously complex problems and a stubborn insistence that he is always right in every argument.” "The rising turnout of his voters are not loyal Republicans or Democrats and are alienated from both parties because neither takes a sympathetic view toward their issues.” “He wears the disdain he draws from the GOP elites as a badge of honor. Henry Kissinger’s championing the other GOP candidate and attacking him are actually helping him!” "The fact that he could be deemed a serious candidate for president is a ahame and embarrassment for the country.” 'The New Yorker observed that his appeal “has to do not with competence at Governing but with the emotion he evokes... [He] lets people get out their anger and frustration, their feeling of being misunderstood and mishandled by those who have run our government, their impatience with taxes and with the poor and the weak, their impulse to deal with the world’s troublemakers by employing the stratagem of a punch in the nose.” “His unpopular opponent presided over the current Iranian crisis ... And a Reeling economy, yet surely the Democrat will prevail over him.” "Is he Safe? ...he shoots from the hip... he's over his head. What are his Solutions?” “Voters want to follow some authority figure, - a leader who can take charge with authority; return a sense of discipline to our government; and, manifest the willpower needed to get this country back on track -- or at least a leader from outside Washington.” Does This Sound familiar? You've heard this all about Donald Trump, right? Most All this was said of Ronald Reagan in 1976 and 1980. Most of it was BY OTHER REPUBLICANS – and Reagan turned out to be one of the greatest presidents of the 20th Century, If not of all time. --- ...It is a good evaluation of the two. Thanks Bunni!

The kids did their best to let it be known I was unmarried and to introduce me to anyone who was skiing alone and therefore, in their minds, single. To my great relief they finally got bored with their mission and charged off on their own. I then made my way to the chair lift. As I moved near the front of the line, a gentle- man close to my age said "Excuse me, but are you single?" Groaning inwardly, I said, "Yes, but despite what you may have heard, I'm really not looking to get married." He looked at me oddly. "All I want is someone to share the chair lift with." -<>- Because of the reaction people have when they wake up and realize it's a workday again and the weekend is over, the first day of the week is called Moanday. Many people too busy to cook on the second day of the week just open a can of beans. Hence the day is known as Tootsday. By the third day of the week, people are wondering when they can ever find the time to get everything done this week that they need to, hence the day is known as Whensday. Too bleary to even count properly, people think it's only Day Three of the week on the next day, therefore it's er- roneously called Thirdsday. On the last day of the workweek, people often go out "for a few" after work. By the time they get home, they're too tired to cook anything elaborate, so they just throw a piece of meat, chicken, or fish in the skillet. That's why the day is known as Fryday. Saturday night all the singles let loose. There's a lot of sexual hijinks. It's pretty obvious why the day is called Satyrday. And on the last day of the week--and the weekend--people look at all the items on their to-do lists that didn't get crossed off, groan aloud, and make themselves promises they won't keep. Therefore the day is called Soonday. -<>- A young man had just graduated from Harvard and was so excited just thinking about his future. He gets into a taxi and the driver says, "How are you this fine day?" "I'm the Class of 2012, just graduated from Harvard and I just can't wait to go out there and see what the world has in store for me." "Congratulations," said the driver reaching back to shake the young man's hand. "I'm Mitch. Harvard Class of '79." -<>- A fellow is getting ready to tee-off on the first hole when a second fellow approaches and asks if he can join him. The first says that he usually plays alone but agrees to let the second guy join him. Both are even after the first couple of holes. The second guy says, "Say, we're about evenly matched, how about we play for five bucks a hole?" The first fellow says that he usually plays alone and doesn't like to bet but agrees to the terms. Well, the second guy wins the rest of the holes and as they're walking off of the eighteenth hole, and while counting his $80.00, he confesses that he's the pro at a neighboring course and likes to pick on suckers. The first fellow reveals that he's the Parish Priest at the local Catholic Church to which the second fellow gets all flustered and apologetic and offers to give the Priest back his money. The Priest says, "No, no. You won fair and square and I was foolish to bet with you. You keep your winnings." The pro says, "Well, is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" The Priest says, "Well, you could come to Mass on Sunday and make a donation. Then, if you bring your mother and father by after Mass, I'll marry them for you." -<>- My husband was waterskiing when he fell into the river. As the boat circled to pick him up, he noticed a hunter sitting in a duck boat in the reeds. My husband put his hands in the air and joked, "Don't shoot!" The hunter responded, "Don't quack." -<>- I'd never had surgery, and I was nervous. "This is a very simple, noninvasive procedure," the anesthesiologist reassured me.

Consider the true story of a woman in Linthicum, Md., who decided to tile her kitchen floor, as reported in an excellent front-page newspaper article written by Eric Collins for the Sept. 26 issue of the Annapolis, Md., Capital, and sent in by many alert readers. According to this article, the woman, who wanted to be identified only as ''Anne'' for reasons that will become clear, decided to surprise her fiance by tiling her kitchen floor herself, thus saving the $700 a so-called ''expert'' would have charged for the job. Step One, of course, was for Anne to spread powerful glue on the floor, so the tiles would be bonded firmly in place. Anne then proceeded to Step Two, which -- as you have probably already guessed -- was to slip and fall face-first into the glue coat she created in Step One, thus bonding herself to the floor like a gum wad on a hot sidewalk. Fortunately, Anne was not alone. Also in the house, thank goodness, was one of the most useful companions a person can ever hope to have: a small dog. Specifically, it was a Yorkshire Terrier, a breed originally developed in England to serve as makeup applicators. A full-grown ''Yorkie'' is about the size of a standard walnut, although it has more hair and a smaller brain. Anne's dog -- named Cleopatra -- saw that her owner was in trouble, so she immediately ran outside and summoned a police officer. Ha ha! No, seriously, Cleopatra did what all dogs do when their owners are in trouble: lick the owner's face. Dogs believe this is the correct response to every emergency. If Lassie had been a real dog, when little Timmy was sinking in the quicksand, Lassie, instead of racing back to the farmhouse to get help, would have helpfully licked Timmy on the face until he disappeared, at which point Lassie, having done all she could for him, would have resumed licking herself. So anyway, when Cleopatra decided to help out, she naturally also became stuck in the glue. But again, luck was on Anne's side, because also at home were her two daughters, ages 9 and 10, who, realizing that the situation was no joking matter, immediately, in the words of the Capital article, 'began laughing hysterically.'' Eventually, with their help, Anne got unstuck from the floor and was able to lay the tile. But she still had glue all over herself. So, according to the Capital article, "'she called a glue emergency hotline, but no one answered.'' I don't know about you, but that sentence disturbs me. I think somebody should check on the glue-emergency-hotline staff. I picture an office reeking of glue fumes, with whacked-out workers permanently bonded to floors, walls, ceilings, each other, etc. Come to think of it, this is also how I picture Congress. But getting back to Anne: Still trying to solve her personal glue problem, she called a tile contractor. During this conversation, the glue on her body hardened, such that (1) her right foot became stuck to the floor, (2) her legs became stuck together, (3) her body became stuck to a chair, and (4) her hand became stuck to the phone. __i |---| |[_]| |:::| |:::| `\ \ \_=_\ jsm ''I had to dial 911 with my nose,'' she is quoted as saying. When the rescue personnel arrived, they found Anne still stuck. Perhaps this is a good time in our story to bring up the fact that she had been working in, and was still wearing, only her underwear. Fortunately, the rescue crews were serious, competent, highly trained professionals, and thus, to again quote the Capital article, they ''laughed until they cried.'' Once they recovered, the rescue crews were able to free Anne by following the standard procedure for this type of situation: licking her face. No, seriously, they freed her with solvents, and everything was fine. Anne got her new floor and saved herself $700, which I am sure more than makes up for suffering enough humiliation to last four or five lifetimes. So the bottom line, homeowners, is this: Don't be afraid to tackle that tile job! Just be sure to have a dog handy, and always remember the No.1 rule of tile-installation professionals: Wear clean underwear. ========================================================= >-->FUN Places To Net Visit :) 3D Liquid Floors! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/3dfloors.html Happy Moments! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/happymoments.html Human Chameleon http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/chameleon.html Mini Crochet Art http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/crochetart.html Japan's Crop Art http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/cropart.html Origami Dollar Art 2 http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/dollarart2.html Japan's Manhole Cover Art http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/japanart.html Amazing Albino Animals http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/albino.html Bear Playground http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/bearplay.html Cats Of The Zodiac http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/zodiaccats.html Nanny Animals 3 http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/nannyanimals3.html Beautiful Rare Flowers! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/rareflowers.html Famous People Photos http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/famousphotos2.html Thanksgiving Story - Alice's Restaurant http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/alices.html -<>- >Please Visit This Link to Get New Traffic For Shangrala :) Fun Pages http://www.funpageexchange.com/go.php?uid=3559 -<>- >Please Follow me on StumbleUpon: http://tinyurl.com/gs8dqyv -<>- Super moon tonight! http://earthsky.org/tonight 236,000 United in Prayer.

My son sent me this because I told him if Trump didn't win I would be holding God along with Christ Jesus accountable. He was upset with me, but what made this election different was the fact that it was being heavily prayed for to God for an intervention so that we would not have a godless leader again. God gives us our own free will to elect who we want, but when there are a huge number of believers asking for God to overturn that and do what is right and good, then God can intercede on their behalf. So I knew that if Trump did not win, then it was God's will and I could make God along with the head of our Christian body Christ Jesus accountable. Like I told Victor, 'If God be for us, who can be against us?' Rev. Graham: God Intervened Nov. 8 to Stop 'Atheistic, Progressive Agenda' in America Commenting on Tuesday's presidential election, Reverend Franklin Graham said the media and political pundits do not understand what happened because they do not understand the "God-factor," the power of prayer, and added that "God intervened" on Nov. 8 "to stop the godless, atheistic, progressive agenda from taking control of our country." http://tinyurl.com/zfjofxx --- ...Thank you Victor! What I've been saying all along - this election was one of the most good vs evil elections I have ever seen! It is nice to have a prominent and famous man of God confirm what I have been saying all along. Just goes to show you, I am not as much of a lunatic as some of you may think :) I've also recently found out what is fueling these protests and riots over our Presidential election. As you may have guessed, it is not all about honest citizens voicing their right to free speech. As we've been learning with the Wikileaks exposure into some corrupt Democratic party dealings and some corrupt government department heads, it is far darker.

Disguised as a waiter, the magician surprised customers with fire, levitating straws and even turned their water into wine which really freaked them out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwMUtXqFqUo Dutch illusionist Hans Klok performing his fastest illusions as he successfully does 10 tricks in 5 minutes. This is a lot of Magic in such a short time and as you'll see he required not just one, but three beautiful assistants to help him with the performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DpYqYq-DOw This magic duo performs a stunning illusion on the French T.V. show The Worlds Greatest Cabaret hosted by Patrick Sabastien that will leave you wondering exactly how they pulled this trick off. This magical act won an award during the World Magic Awards in 2009 and it's easy to see why as it is very entertaining. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKns1uatyNg David Copperfield flies like a bird, pushing against the wind. He then flies through rotating hoops and then flies sealed inside a glass box. No computer effects or edits are used in this illusion, and the perspex box has been previously inspected by two random audience members. It is worth noting that even the woman he flies with does not know how the illusion is done! This remains to this day one of the most spectacular flying illusion ever. What a stunning and romantic performance! From the CBS TV special "The Magic of David Copperfield XIV: Flying — Live The Dream" (1992) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgN-Ac5EH1Y --- ...Great shows!

Thank you Melody! It is the time to be thinking of Thanksgiving meals! After going to the restaurant we have used for our family Thanksgiving dinner for the last two years, we decided to cook the meal ourselves this year. It has been taken over by new management and the last couple times we went there we were very disappointed by the quality of their buffet. I don't want to run the risk of my family being disappointed for Thanksgiving so I'll again cook it with the help of my daughter. One thing I found helped with the aggravation level was to cook the turkey the day before. Carve it and put in in a pan lined with foil. Put turkey juices around it and cover tightly with foil in the refrigerator. On Thanksgiving, you lift the foil to loosely cover the meat and just warm it up in oven. Perfect without any worries! :) Lots of YUMMY Easy Recipes and Desserts Here: http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/easy.html -<>- Popcorn http://popopopcorn.com/ --- ...Makes me want some!

"I think the bottom-line difference between being single and married is this: When you're single you're as happy as you are. When you're married, you can only be as happy as the least happy person in the house." --Tom Hertz "Tomorrow we will elect either Biff from 'Back to the Future' or one of the robots from 'Westworld.' You will decide." -Jimmy Kimmel "This weekend, aides to Donald Trump have finally wrested away his Twitter account. What?! You can't take away Trump's Twitter account! That's like taking away Batman's utility belt! All you're left with is a billionaire with anger issues." -Stephen Colbert "A new survey found that 46 percent of doctors have used Google or Yahoo to diagnose their patients' symptoms.

And the couple still left in the seventh inning to beat traffic. 'Get your purse, Linda, we'll catch the end on the radio.'" -Jimmy Fallon "There's an event company that specializes in fake weddings. The idea is that many young people don't want to get married but they do want a wedding, so the company puts on a fake ceremony and a fake reception. I can't imagine writing 'Will attend' on an RSVP for a fake wedding. There are already weddings for people who don't want to get married - they're called weddings." -Jimmy Kimmel "The FDA is currently debating whether the chocolate hazel- nut topping Nutella should be classified as a dessert or a spread.
