He went to the Club for the first time to play but was told everyone scheduled to play was already out on the course. He was so disappointed, the Assistant Pro said he would play with him and would give him a 12 stroke handicap. The 80 year old said, "I really don't need a handicap. The only real problem I have is getting out of sand traps." They both played well. Coming into the par three 18th they were even. The pro had a nice drive to mid-fairway and would be able to get on the green with the next stroke and then putt for a par with the following play. The old man hit a long drive, and the ball landed in one of the two sand traps around the hole. Shooting from the sand trap on his second stroke, he hit a high ball which landed on the green and rolled right into the hole! The Assistant Pro was stunned. "Nice shot, but I thought you said you have a problem getting out of sand traps." "I do," replied the octogenarian. "Give me a hand." -<>- >PA Announcement Heard over a public address system: "Will the person who lost the roll of $100 bills tied with a rubber band please come to the office.

It's a civil lawsuit. A wife is bringing this case against her husband because he gambled away the $25,000 he had promised to use to remodel the kitchen for her birthday." "Well, okay. I'll serve.

God: Sure. Me: Promise you won't get mad? God: I promise. Me: Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today? God: What do you mean? Me: Well, I woke up late. God: Yes. Me: My car took forever to start. God: Okay. Me: At lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait. God: Hmmm. Me: On the way home my phone went dead just as I picked up a call. God: Okay. Me: And on top of all that, when I got home I just wanted to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work! Nothing went right today! Why did you do that? God: Well, let me see. The Death Angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that. Me: (humbled): OH... GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road. Me:(ashamed) God: The person who made your first sandwich today was sick and I didn't want you to catch what he has. I knew you couldn't afford to miss work. Me: (embarrassed): Ok...God: Your phone went dead because the person who was calling was going to give false witness about what you said during that call. I didn't even let you talk to them so that you would be covered. Me: (softly) I see, God. God: Oh, and that foot massager had a short that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark. Me: I'm sorry God. God: Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me in all things, the good and the bad. Me: I will trust you. God: And don't doubt that MY plan for your day is always better than your plan. Me: I won't, God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today God: You're welcome, child. It was just another day being your God, and I love looking after my children. --- ...A great reminder - We don't thank God enough!

A little house with three bedrooms, one bathroom and one car on the street. A mower that you had to push to make the grass look neat. In the kitchen on the wall we only had one phone, And no need for recording things, someone was always home. We only had a living room where we would congregate, unless it was at mealtime in the kitchen where we ate. We had no need for family rooms or extra rooms to dine. When meeting as a family those two rooms would work out fine. We only had one TV set and channels maybe two, But always there was one of them with something worth the view. For snacks we had potato chips that tasted like a chip. And if you wanted flavor there was Lipton's onion dip. Store-bought snacks were rare because my mother liked to cook and nothing can compare to snacks in Betty Crocker's book. Weekends were for family trips or staying home to play. We all did things together -- even go to church to pray. When we did our weekend trips depending on the weather, no one stayed at home because we liked to be together. Sometimes we would separate to do things on our own, but we knew where the others were without our own cell phone. Then there were the movies with your favorite movie star, and nothing can compare to watching movies in your car. Then there were the picnics at the peak of summer season, pack a lunch and find some trees and never need a reason. Get a baseball game together with all the friends you know, have real action playing ball -- and no game video. Remember when the doctor used to be the family friend, and didn't need insurance or a lawyer to defend? The way that he took care of you or what he had to do, because he took an oath and strived to do the best for you. Remember going to the store and shopping casually, and when you went to pay for it you used your own money? Nothing that you had to swipe or punch in some amount, and remember when the cashier person had to really count? The milkman used to go from door to door, And it was just a few cents more than going to the store. There was a time when mailed letters came right to your door, without a lot of junk mail ads sent out by every store. The mailman knew each house by name and knew where it was sent; there were not loads of mail addressed to "present occupant." There was a time when just one glance was all that it would take, and you would know the kind of car, the model and the make. They didn't look like turtles trying to squeeze out every mile; they were streamlined, white walls, fins and really had some style. One time the music that you played whenever you would jive, was from a vinyl, big-holed record called a forty-five. The record player had a post to keep them all in line and then the records would drop down and play one at a time. Oh sure, we had our problems then, just like we do today and always we were striving, trying for a better way. Oh, the simple life we lived still seems like so much fun, how can you explain a game, just kick the can and run? And why would boys put baseball cards between bicycle spokes and for a nickel, red machines had little bottled Cokes? This life seemed so much easier and slower in some ways. I love the new technology but I sure do miss those days. So time moves on and so do we and nothing stays the same, but I sure love to reminisce and walk down memory lane. With all today's technology we grant that it's a plus! But it's fun to look way back and say, Hey look, guys, THAT WAS US! --- ...Yep - Those were the days!

We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, soooooooo .... Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it! Have a garbage-free day! --- ...Excellent idea to me! Thanks Brenda! -<>- >A BREAK THROUGH I have now come to the Realization that, for the most part, I Can choose to be happy on a daily basis. There is a measure of truth In the old saying, "Fake it till You make it." Granted, It doesn't work all the time. However, if "fake it" means Choosing to think and act In a variety of "happy ways" Before I actually have Those feelings, then I Would have to say I agree. Take a simple smile, for instance. I've found that something As simple as smiling can do wonders To help me see that I have in Me the ability to choose to be happy. Smile, and the world will smile back at you. --- ...Great Advice!

What a surprise when he brought a friend home for supper A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly but I took a bath anyway. I can't say it improved the rice any. Today he asked for salad again I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Asked me why I was rolling around in the garden.. I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it.. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left. Saturday He did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I don't have any clothes that fit it, and for some reason he keeps counting to ten. I wanted to serve roast but all I had was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius..I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment. GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY.

'The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching 3rd grade. The last Presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot. The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother. The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded and he sat down. Now is was Olivia's turn to speak. Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely would say more. She did not have to. A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. But no one pursued that question. They took her at her word. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it...She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream... Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide. Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 51.4 % of the people reacted like nine year old's. They want ice cream. The other 48.6% percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess." Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else. Most people voted for the ice cream. THAT MY FRIEND, IS HOW OBAMA GOT ELECTED... BY THOSE WHO WANT EVERYTHING FOR FREE! --- ...About the size of it. Thanks KarenF!

I was particularly amused by the suicide turkey in Sheboygan, WI who launched a preemptive strike on Thanksgiving last week. Utility officials say the turkey flew into a power line in Sheboygan County knocking out power for about 1,500 people. But the real story comes from Gulf Breeze, FL where investigators say a neighbor and his friend used a bow and arrow to shoot and kill a family's pet turkey for their Thanksgiving dinner. Sheriff's deputies arrested two Santa Rosa County teens charging them with armed burglary, armed trespassing, theft of livestock and animal cruelty. The teens told deputies they planned to eat the 30-pound turkey for Thanksgiving. I guess food stamps are a little harder to get in Florida. Animal lovers Brian and Christa Caponi live on 6 acres and have a multitude animals, but they said this turkey was special because he was so friendly. In fact, the Caponis said he was more like a family dog than a turkey. Although a family dog would not go nearly so well with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy. *-- 38M Americans shop online from toilet --* PORTLAND, Maine - More than 38 million Americans have shopped online while sitting on the toilet, a CashStar survey showed. The poll also suggests almost 17 million people have shopped via a mobile device while standing in the retailer's physical store; 9 million have secretly shopped while in a business meeting; and 4 million have shopped online while driving a car. The survey was conducted online nationwide by Harris Interactive on behalf of CashStar from Nov. 6-8, among 2,104 U.S. online adults ages 18 and older. The calculation was based on the U.S. Census Bureau's 2011 Census, which estimates there are 237,744,632 million adults ages 18 and older residing in the United States. The CashStar-Harris survey examined the strange places U.S. adults have used computers or mobile devices to shop online. "Smartphones and tablets have enabled consumers to shop and gift on-the-go in more ways and places than ever before," David Stone, co-founder and chief executive officer of CashStar, a digital gifting and incentives partner for retailers, said in a statement Monday. "The retailers who have been paying attention and catering to where and how consumers want to shop by mobile-optimizing their e-commerce sites and offering mobile eGift Cards will reap the rewards this holiday season and have a jump on the competition going into 2013." *-- Cocaine given to trick-or-treaters --* OLDHAM, England - A British man admitted to accidentally handing out bags of cocaine to trick-or-treaters who turned out to be the children of a police officer. Oldham Magistrates' Court heard Donald Green, 23, accidentally dropped the bags of cocaine into the candy sacks of three children, ages 8, 6 and 5, instead of the candy bags in his pocket, The Daily Telegraph reported Monday. Police Constable Simon Fowell, the children's father, soon recognized the strange packages in his children's bags and Green was arrested on a charge of possessing a Class A drug. Green pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 12 months of probation as well as 130 hours community work and court costs totaling $230. *-- Santa dangles by beard at British mall --* READING, England - Officials at a British mall said a Santa was left dangling by his false beard when it became stuck while he was rappelling down for his big entrance. The Broad Street Mall in Reading, England, said the Santa Claus was rappelling into the mall to entertain the children during Saturday afternoon's lights switch-on ceremony when his false beard became caught and he was left dangling 15 feet off the ground for about 30 minutes, the BBC reported Tuesday. Stephanie Maynard, marketing manager at the mall, said the Santa was uninjured. "He could have just taken his beard off and let himself down but he was such a professional and he didn't want to let the children down," she said. "He lost his footing as he came through the hole in the ceiling and there was a sudden jolt and he got caught in the clip on the rope. Some people were absolutely mortified while others thought it was the funniest thing ever. They had to let another rope down and get him down and there was such a roar from the crowd. Usually after the lights switch-on the center empties but there were so many people still there waiting to see if Father Christmas was going to get down." ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Johanna :) .`:;ij;f,;, .`;sk568G6itz,-", .\a\x6P^98^"^986r/,-' -._sV89" " `88k,-_" `.-\Q8f 188/,-', .-_J88| o o |88KJ-_. ,-;388l j888[=- _".>88Y6._ ,J.__.4988E:._" .;=J98| T"^T^"T |88K;-._ _"Z38|._|_ | _|_.|88R=;. .'/2l. | """ | ,j8S^._" '"j^7Z6bouuuod3R^L`-. ,'./jQV9TYVR\[\`".

One night, she confided to him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go back to Italy to secretly have the child. Also, if she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would provide child support until the child turned 18. She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write 'Spaghetti' on the back when the child was born. He would then arrange for the Child Support Payments to begin. One day, about 8 months later, he came home to his confused wife. 'Honey,' she said, 'You received a very strange post card today.' 'Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it later.' he said. The wife obeyed and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted. On the card was written: Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Two with meatballs, one without. Send extra sauce. -<>- () `.. .. `... `.. `.... `.. `.. ()-'`-. `.. `..`. `.. `.. `.. `.. `.. `.. `| |\\ `.. `.. `.. `..`.. `..`.. `. `..

She finally remembered her daddy’s advice that if she got caught in a blizzard she should wait for a snow-plow to come by and follow it. That way she would not get stuck in a snow drift.This made her feel much better and sure enough in a little while a snow-plow went by and she started to follow it. As she followed the snow-plow she was feeling very smug as they continued and she was not having any problem with the blizzard conditions. After an hour had passed, she was somewhat surprised when the snow-plow stopped and the driver got out and came back to her car and signaled for her to roll down her window. The snow-plow driver wanted to know if she was alright as she had been following him for a long time. She said that she was fine and told him of her daddy's advice to follow a snow-plow when caught in a blizzard.

One day, his regular waitress decided to see if he could be made to order anything else. Before giving him the menu she marked out the ham and eggs entry. Once the customer had looked over the menu for a few minutes, the waitress approached him and asked, "Sir, did you notice that I scratched something you like?" Without looking up from the menu, he quickly replied, "Well, would you mind washing your hands before you bring me my ham nd eggs?" -<>- A co-worker returned after lunch carrying a dress from the cleaners. "Pretty," said one of the guys. "Big date tonight?" "I picked it up for a friend," she replied, adding, "Do you really think I could fit in a tiny thing like this?" Jerry smiled and said, "Do you really think I've lived this long by answering questions like that?" -<>- English professors love to catch the errors students make in their term papers, and they love nothing better than to catch mixed metaphors.

Surprised, the lady answered, "Uh...no, thank you." -<>- Some people bend over backward not to insult others.

Follow these rules and you should have no problems. Rule #1: When in doubt - buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet to complain. As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. No one knows why. Rule #2: If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words. "Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "OK. By-the-way, are you through with my 3/8 inch socket yet?" Again, no one knows why. Rule #3: If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car. A 99 cent ice scraper, a small bottle of de-icer or something to hang from his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows why. Rule #4: Do not buy men socks. Do not buy men ties. And never buy men bathrobes. I was told that if God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he wouldn't have invented Jockey shorts. Rule #5: You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn out. If you have a lot of moneybuy your man a big screen TV and watch him go wild as he flips, and flips, and flips. Rule #6: Buy men label makers. Almost as good as cordless drills. With-in a couple of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. "Socks. Shorts. Cups. Saucers. Door. Lock. Sink." You get the idea. No one knows why. Rule #7: Good places to shop for men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr Lumber, Home Depot, John Deere, Valley RVCenter, and Les Schwab Tire. (NAPA Auto Parts and Sears' Clearance Centers are also excellent men's stores. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know what itis. "From NAPA Auto, eh? Must be something I need. Hey! Isn't this a starter for a '68 Ford Fairlane? Wow! Thanks.") Rule #8: It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum extension ladder. Never buy a real man a step ladder. It must be an extension ladder. No one knows why. Rule #9: Clamps. Men can never have enough quick grip clamps. No one knows why. Rule #10: Buy your man Duct Tape. This is a man's most universal repair tool. All men know, if you can't fix it, duct it. ===================================================== >-->FUN Places To Net Visit :) God's Royal and Holy Priests http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/BibleStudy/royalpriests.html Who Is Jesus Christ? http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/BibleStudy/whoisjesus.html Here's Your Frog! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/frog.html Playing With Words http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/wordplay.html World's Best Husband http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/husbands.html Why Dogs Bite People http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/dogsbite.html Signs For Woman http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/wsigns.html -<>- >From Our Friend Linda :) Golf Magic http://www.youtube.com/embed/NIZ_bmCP7GQ --- ...Super!
