Thanks for your understanding. -<>- >From Carl Jewett: My name is Carl Jewett and I'm the Veteran Liaison for the Mesothelioma Center (Asbestos.com); I'm also the Executive Director of the Veterans Assistance Network, and a retired Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy. While I was browsing through a number of Veterans sites I came across your website and was very impressed by the information you have listed. Countless veterans are currently suffering from life-threatening illnesses that are a result of exposure to asbestos, a material that was commonly used in hundreds of military applications, products, and ships because of its resistance to fire. The Mesothelioma Center provides a complete list of occupations, ships, and shipyards that could have put our Veterans at risk for developing asbestos-related diseases. In addition, they have thousands of articles regarding asbestos and mesothelioma and they've even created a veterans-specific section on their website in order to help inform them about the dangers of asbestos exposure. Because so many veterans visit your site, I thought that you may be interested in helping to educate veterans about the dangers of asbestos exposure by linking to our website, or possibly posting some information on mesothelioma and veterans from your page shangralafamilyfun.com/freedom.html. . . Carl Jewett Mesothelioma Center Asbestos.com --- ...I have added their link to the page he mentioned. They appear to be a wonderful resource. All of you who are interested or may of know of someone who may need this information, here is their link: http://www.asbestos.com/ ==================================================================== >-->From The FunnyBone: ___________ > So You Think You're Computer-Illiterate? |.---------.| || || Check out the following excerpts from a || || Wall Street Journal article by Jim Carlton: || || |'---------'| 1. Compaq is considering changing the `)__ ____(' command "Press Any Key" to "Press [=== -- o ]--. Return Key" because of the flood of __'---------'__ \ calls asking where the "Any" key is. jgs [::::::::::: :::] ) `""'"""""'""""`/T\ 2. AST technical support had a caller \_/ complaining that her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in. 3. Another Compaq technician received a call from a man complaining that the system couldn't read word processing files from his old diskettes. After trouble-shooting for magnets and heat failed to diagnose the problem, it was found that the customer labeled the diskettes then rolled them into the typewriter to type the labels. 4. Another AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with Xeroxed copies of the floppies. 5. A Dell technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back in the drive and close the door. The customer asked the tech to hold on, and was heard putting the phone down, getting up and crossing the room to close the door to his room. 6. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of trouble-shooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key. 7. Another Dell customer needed help setting up a new program, so a Dell tech suggested he go to the local Egghead. "Yeah, I got me a couple of friends, "the customer replied. When told Egghead was a software store, the man said, "Oh, I thought you meant for me to find a couple of geek." 8. Yet another Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys and washing them individually. 9. A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was enraged because his computer had told him he was "bad and an invalid". The tech explained that the computer's "bad command" and "invalid" responses shouldn't be taken personally. 10. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn't get her new Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The "foot pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse. 11. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her brand-new computer wouldn't work. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in, and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked "What power switch?" 12. True story from a Novell NetWire SysOp: Caller: "Hello, is this Tech Support?" Tech Rep: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?" Caller: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?" Tech Rep: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?" Caller: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer." Tech Rep: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?" Caller: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotional. It just has '4X' on it." At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder, and snapped it off the drive! ___________ |.---------.| @)___||_ ||_______ 8*8888*888{______}error ||_______> @) ||_________|| `----)-(----` ____[=== o]___ |::::::::::::::|\ jgs `-============-`() =============================================================== +------------- Bizarre December Holidays --------------+ December 1 is National Pie Day and Eat A Red Apple Day December 2 is National Fritters Day December 3 is National Roof-Over-Your-Head Day December 4 is Wear Brown Shoes Day December 5 is National Sacher Torte Day December 6 is National Gazpacho Day and Mitten Tree Day December 7 is National Cotton Candy Day December 8 is Take It In The Ear Day December 9 is National Pastry Day December 10 is Festival For The Souls Of Dead Whales ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: Parents can be very upset when their children don't get into the college of their choice. As an admissions counselor for a state university, I took a call from an irate mother who was demanding to know why her daughter had been turned down. Avoiding any mention of the transcript full of D's, I explained that her daughter just wasn't as "competitive" as the admitted class. "Why doesn't she try anther school for a year and then transfer?" I suggested. "Another school!" exclaimed the Mother. "Have you seen her grades?" -<>- Panicking when her toddler swallowed a tiny magnet; my sister, Betty, rushed him to the emergency room. "He'll be fine," the doctor promised her. "The magnet should pass through his system in a day or two." "How will I be sure?" she pressed. "Well," the doctor suggested, "you could stick him on the refrigerator. When he falls off, you'll know." -<>- A man goes to the doctor with a swollen foot. After a careful examination, the doctor gives the man a pill big enough to choke a horse. "I'll be right back with some water," the doctor tells him. The doctor has been gone a while and the man loses patience. He hobbles out to the drinking fountain, forces the pill down his throat and gobbles down water until the pill clears his throat. He hobbles back into the examining room. The doctor comes back with a pan of warm water. "Ok, after the tablet dissolves, you can sit here and soak that foot for at least 20 minutes." -- I love the outdoors, and because of my passion for hunting and fishing, my family eats a considerable amount of wild game. I guess they eat so much, in fact, that one evening as I set a platter of broiled venison steaks on the dinner table, my ten-year-old daughter looked up and said, "Boy, it sure would be nice in pizzas lived in the woods." -<>- As the plane was flying low over some hills near Athens, a lady asked the stewardess: "What's that stuff all over those hills?" "Just snow," replied the stewardess. "That's what I thought," said the lady, "but this fellow in front of me said it was Greece." ============================================================== >-->In The Worldly News: >From BizarreNews: +-------------- Bizarre Newspaper Headlines ---------------+ Something Went Wrong in Jet Crash, Expert Says Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers Safety Expert Says School Bus Passengers Should Be Belted Drunk Gets Nine Months in Violin Case Survivor of Siamese Twins Joins Parents Farmer Bill Dies in House Is There a Ring of Debris Around Uranus?

Athens-Clarke County police said the man was caught on a security camera fleeing the store Friday with nine sticks of deodorant in four varieties stuffed into his cargo pants, the Athens Banner-Herald reported Monday. Police said the incident took place exactly one week after employees stopped a woman from stealing 12 deodorant sticks from the shelves. Police were searching for the latest thief. -In Archives... -- Man: Intruder cooked and ate steak ------------- PEORIA, Ill. - A Peoria, Ill., man told police a home intruder had apparently cooked and eaten a steak at his home while he was away. The homeowner told police he returned home at about 9:45 p.m. Saturday after being gone since 11 a.m. and found a window broken, the Peoria Journal Star reported. Police reports said the man was unable to find anything missing from his home until he looked in the kitchen and discovered a $6 steak that he had been defrosting was missing. The man said the intruder had left dirty dishes in the sink, a dirty skillet on the stove and used paper towels on the counter. -- Man gets 50 traffic tickets after chase ---------- BOYTON BEACH, Fla. - Police in Florida said a man was issued 50 traffic citations after he led officers from two cities in a chase that ended when he crashed his vehicle. Authorities said Elvis Alonzo Barrett, 46, whose driver's license has been revoked six times and suspended 28 times, refused to pull over in Boynton Beach when a police officer attempted to stop him, and led police in the city and in nearly Delray Beach on a chase that included driving the wrong way on an Interstate 95 ramp before crashing into another car at an intersection and losing control of his vehicle, the South Florida Sun- Sentinel reported. Barrett's sport utility vehicle over- turned and came to rest after striking a fence, police said. Boynton Beach police said Barrett was charged with fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, felony habitual, possession of cocaine, possession of paraphernalia and leaving the scene of a crash involving damage after Thursday's incident. He also received 50 traffic citations for alleged offenses including speeding, running red lights, improper change of lanes, being a habitual traffic offender, fleeing and eluding and not wearing a seat belt. Barrett could face additional charges from Delray Beach police, authorities said. -- Canadian woman offers free hugs -------------- TORONTO - A 26-year-old Canadian woman says she is offer- ing free hugs for the third year in a row on the streets of Toronto. "Some people will walk by smiling and other people will come running because they love the hugs," said Tanya Neumeyer, who took to the streets Sunday with her older brother Ian in tow. The Neumeyers and a few friends carried large signs saying "Free Hugs," which startled some passersby and comforted others, The Toronto Star reported. "It makes your day. More people should be hugging," said Louise Collins, 54. Tanya Neumeyer said she was inspired by the group We Are What We Do and the group's book "Change the World for Ten Bucks: 50 Actions to Change the World." As for offering hugs in February, Neumeyer said it may be the shortest month but it seems like "the longest part of winter" so more people need hugging. -- Thai man, 88, earns law degree --------------- NONTHABURI, Thailand - An 88-year-old man affectionately known as Grandfather by those who know him says he is pleased to have earned a law degree in Thailand. The Bangkok Post said Monday that Sa-nguan Sunthornwong graduated from Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University with a degree in law after 12 years of classes. But Sunthornwong insists he has no plans to rest following his recent private graduation ceremony. "It's not over," the senior law school graduate said. "I will continue studying until the end of my days." Sunthornwong's determination comes despite the fact the university's oldest graduate was forced to miss the Jan. 23 graduation ceremony for his graduating class. The 88-year-old had been unable to walk or speak, forcing him to be hospitalized for 39 days. Nonetheless, Sunthornwong told the Post he is now consider- ing obtaining a master's degree to go with his law degree. ========================================================= >-->50 yard line tickes for the superbowl Thibodeaux had 50 yard line tickets for the Superbowl.

"What are the different types of azimuths?" I asked my students, referring to a measurement of distance from the poles, used in navigation and surveying. "Grid azimuths" was one answer. "Magnetic azimuths" was another. Then, from somewhere in the back, came: "Bronchial azimuths."

While the players gazed in amazement, the turkey walked up to the head coach and demanded a tryout. Everyone stared in silence as the turkey caught pass after pass and ran right through the defensive line. When the turkey returned to the sidelines, the coach shouted, "You're terrific!!! Sign up for the season, and I'll see to it that you get a huge bonus." "Forget the bonus," the turkey said, "All I want to know is, does the season go past Thanksgiving Day?" ============================================================= >-->From The FunnyBone: Martha Stewart's Tips For Rednecks 1.

He rubbed its side and sure enough, a genie materialized. "I can't grant your wishes," explained the freed spirit, "But I'll give you three gifts for releasing me: a potion to cure ill health, a very large diamond and a dinner date with a famous movie star. By tomorrow afternoon, you will have received all these gifts." When John returned home from work the next evening, he excitedly asked his mother if anything had been delivered. "Yes," she replied. "It's been an unusual day. At 2 pm, a 55-gallon drum of chicken soup arrived. About a half-hour later, a telegram came saying that a long-lost relative had left you a minor-league baseball stadium. Ten minutes ago, MGM called, inviting you to dinner with Lassie tonight." -<>- ** Putting It Together ** The proud father brought home a backyard swing set for his children and immediately started to assemble it with all the neighborhood children anxiously waiting to play on it. After several hours of reading the directions, attempting to fit bolt A into slot B, etc., he finally gave up and called upon an old handyman working in a neighboring yard. The old-timer came over, threw the directions away, and in a short while had the set completely assembled. It's beyond me," said the father, "how you got it together without even reading instructions." "To tell the truth," replied the old-timer, "I can't read, and when you can't read, you've got to think." -<>- ** No Offense Taken ** A local Pastor joined a community Service Club, and the members thought they would have some fun with him. Under his name badge they printed, "Hog Caller" as his occupation. Everyone made a big fanfare as the badge was presented. The Pastor responded by saying, " I usually am called the 'Shepherd of the sheep'... ...but you know your people better than I do." -<>- ** Wow! What Control You Have ** Trying to control my dry hair, I treated my scalp with olive oil before washing it. Worried that the oil might leave an odor, I washed my hair several times. That night when I went to bed, I leaned over to my husband and asked, "Do I smell like olive oil?" "No," he said, sniffing me. "Do I smell like Popeye?" -<>- ** I Know How You Feel ** While I sat in the reception area of my doctor's office, a woman rolled an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room. As she went to the receptionist's desk, the man just sat there, alone and quiet.

My mom makes me ride in the stroller too." -<>- ** Telegram Exchange Plan ** A man, fond of practical jokes, decided late one night to send his friend a collect telegram which read: "I am perfectly well."

The rest of the procession was still following us! -<>- *** You'll Be Next ** Adam is a young single man and attends a family wedding. At the wedding he meets relatives that he hasn't seen for years.

The same Auntie says to him, "You'll be next my love." By this time Adam is getting quite annoyed by his Aunt Betty's words, as he doesn't want to get married. He really wants to come up with some sort of response. Five years pass on, and this time one of his Uncles has died. He attends his funeral and sees Aunt Betty standing talking to other relations. He walks up to her and says, "You'll be next my love." -<>- ** Parking Lot Rules For The Not So Smart ** 1. When waiting for a parking spot, stop in the middle of the road, don't signal, and orient your car diagonally to prevent others from passing 2. Always park on the lines, taking up as many spots as possible. Diagonal parking is preferred. 3. In a crowded parking lot, if you find a spot and have the opportunity to pull through to an adjacent one, drive up half way and stop on the line, taking both. 4. As you pull into a spot, if you see that the space ahead of you is empty and you see another driver signaling to take it, pull through and take it from him. 5. Always park close enough to the adjacent car so that the other driver must grease up with Vaseline to squeeze into his/her car. 6. When getting out of your car, hit the adjacent vehicle with your door really hard. 7. When driving through the parking lot, ignore the painted lanes and drive diagonally from one end to another at a high rate of speed. 8. When stopped in front of a store and waiting for a friend/relative to make a purchase, make sure that you are stopped in the middle of the road. The same rules applies to picking-up and discharging passengers. 9. When a vehicle from the opposite direction is signaling and waiting for a parking space, position your car so that you are in his way and let the car behind you take it. -<>- ** Greatest Books Not Written ** ** NATIONS IN GREATNESS ** 1) Canadian Tips on World Dominance 2) A Guide to Arab Democracies 3) Fat-free Indian Cooking 4) English Tanning Secrets 5) A Guide to Swiss Beaches 6) Spicy Irish Cooking 7) Brilliant Spanish Military Campaigns 8) Great Cars of Russia 9) Advances in Chinese Human Rights 10) French Hospitality ** PERSONALITIES IN TITLES ** 1) Bob Dole: The Wild Years 2) Mike Tyson's Guide to Dating Etiquette 3) A Journey through the Mind of Dennis Rodman ** MISCELLANEOUS TITLES ** 1) Easy UNIX 2) Honest Lawyers 3) Career Opportunities for History Majors 4) Everything Men Know About Women 5) The Amish Phone Book 6) Gypsy Sports Heroes 7) Around the World in a Peugeot ~~~ASB: Best Jokes ~~~ -<>- ** Things To Think About...

Scientists say the dolphin is rare, beautiful, and delicious with hot mustard sauce." --Conan O'Brien "Here is a very odd story. A woman in Tennessee is now suing a local pharmacy after buying what she thought were birth control patches. They turned out to be nicotine patches. The good news, her new baby is now down to a half a pack a day." --Jay Leno "Scientists have said they may have figured out a way to travel through time. For years now I've known of a potion that can let you travel through time..it's called tequila." -Craig Ferguson "As if we don't have enough problems. Fifteen different pre- scription drugs in our drinking water. Fifteen! Honest to God, you need a doctor's prescription to turn on the faucet." -David Letterman "Frankly, I don't believe people think of their office as a work place anymore. They think of it as a stationery store with Danish. You want to get your pastry, your envelopes, your supplies, your toilet paper, six cups of coffee--and then you go home." --Jerry Seinfeld "At a recent speech to hundreds of university professors, Bill Gates said it's puzzling why more kids don't want to become computer programmers. Gee, I don't know, you think maybe it's because at some point they'd actually like to have a girlfriend." --Jay Leno In a national anthem survey, 79% of Americans know the first line of the "Star-Spangled Banner," but only 37% of Canadians know the first line to "Oh, Canada," which is really pathetic considering the first line of "Oh, Canada" is "Oh, Canada." -- Jay Leno "There is nothing you can say in answer to a compliment. I have been complimented myself a great many times, and they always embarrass me -- I always feel that they have not said enough." -- Mark Twain "I know what men want. Men want to be really, really close to someone who will leave them alone." -- Elayne Boosler "Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry." -- Unknown "Remember that as a teenager you are in the last stage of your life in which you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you." -- Fran Lebowitz "You usually know who's going to win pro-wrestling--the guy with the best nickname. Here, from Philadelphia, comes the iron man, Mike 'The Hammer' Armstrong, and his opponent, all the way from Scranton...Eugene!" -- Dan Wilson "I hate the expression 'A friend is a present you give your- self.' Gag. A case of Heineken is a present you give yourself. A friend is somebody you don't have to talk to once there's food on the table." --Sabrina Matthews "There is one thing more exasperating than a spouse who can cook and won't, and that's a spouse who can't cook and will." -- Anonymous "Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a sup- port group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar." -- Drew Carey Three warning signs that your boyfriend/girlfriend is bored: 1. Fewer passionate kisses. 2. Frequent sighing. 3. Moved, left no forwarding address. -- Matt Groening >Updated FUN STUFF URLS - Oh Yeah :) Shangy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/urls.html FUN URLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -->BECOMING A CHRISTIAN HOW TO BE A CHRISTIAN! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -->FULL LENGTH - FREE On line AUDIO MP3 Chrristian Foundational Class http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=61 NEW LIFE IN CHRIST! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -->This is for all you who love food and DAARE to make it at home Yep.
