Then I would make the biscuit fixins I was fixin to get the biscuit mixes. But I saw two stixes so I used the stixes to mix the mixes together to make the biscuit fixins. But then suddenly Mr Nicks started to help me with the biscuit fixins. Then I asked Mr Nicks if we needed more mix in the biscuit mix to make more fixins? Mr nicks said no I don't think we need more mix in this biscuit mix because we are ( fixin to really start mixing the mix ) ) because you know when you are fixin to _.(--"("""--.._ mix the mix.

The dreaded, "worst Halloween treat ever" – is clearly a matter of natural selection. The candy that takes up residence at the bottom of your bag (while appreciated) is the worst Halloween Treat and will likely be re-gifted next year. Here are the top 11 worst Halloween treats: 11. Coins 'Coins aren't candy', you say. I know! On Halloween, you don't dress up and walk 10 miles (or a few blocks) for dirty change. Coins don't give you a sugar rush; they don't melt in your mouth or stain your tongue blue. By these criteria: coins are absolutely the worst Halloween candy ever. --- ...Wow, when I was a kid, coins were the best - a quarter got you 25 pieces of candy at the store! So ALL the kids hit the house that was out of candy giving 'money'! The HOTest place on the block! Boy just shows ya how times change. 10. Mary Janes Sorry, retro candy lovers. I love peanut butter and I love molasses, but together there's no magic. No surprises, no contrast of flavors or textures, except of course when the wax paper clings to the candy. 9. Candy Corn Sure, some delusional people believe candy corn is tasty. It's alright. Candy corn is not on this list because of its waxy texture, it's here because many parents won't let their kids eat unwrapped Halloween candy. What good is free candy if you're not allowed to enjoy it? This is a trick more than a treat. 8. Candy Buttons on Paper Scrape off colorful droplets of icing from long rolls of paper with your teeth and then explain why this is a good idea. And how does that soggy, stained paper manage to always avoid the trash can? 7. Necco Wafers Do children really eat these slivers of grainy sugar? You get about 50 in a single package and they come in different colors, but so do crayons and I'm not eating those. 6. Random Hard Candies with Gooey Insides One day, long ago, there was a candy maker who made millions of hard candies shaped like strawberries and root beer barrels. Then he went into the sky in his hot air balloon and sprinkled these candies all over the world. Nobody knows what to do with these. I suspect the candy man stopped making these years ago and the same hard candies get recycled into the Halloween bowl every year. Stop this madness! 5. Circus Peanuts Bits of circus peanuts over cereal may have inspired the creation of Lucky Charms cereal, but circus peanuts themselves are disappointing. There is a charm to their mysterious appearance in every Halloween candy bag for the past two-hundred years, but must they taste like bland Styrofoam? 4. Dubble Bubble Rock hard plain gum is never ever yum. I'll be happy to demonstrate why: give me an hour to break my teeth chewing it only to blow a pitiful puff of a `bubble'. 3. Bit-o-Honey If you manage to pry this sticky, honey-flavored taffy from the 50-year old wrapper, you're rewarded with a mouthful of stubborn pieces stuck to your teeth all night. 2. Mini Tooth Brush Adults may appreciate the thoughtfulness, but kids feel jipped when they get mini tooth brushes for Halloween. I have never heard a single child shout, "Hooray! I can clean my teeth with this brand new mini tooth brush. And it's mine. All mine. Ha ha ha [evil and joyful laugh]." And the number 1 all time worst Halloween Treat..... 1. Rasins In or out of those little boxes, this one is Self Explanatory. Your neighbors don't have to open their doors and offer anything on Halloween. In the spirit of dressing up and getting free candy: smile and thank them, even if they drop a rotten apple in your bag. === Adapted from http://www.catalogs.com/info/bestof/top-10-worst-halloween-treats.

They were always at the ready When you needed some advice And their sewing (I can tell you) Was available--and nice. Well Grandma's not deserted you, She dearly loves you still, You just won't find her cooking But she's right there at the till. She thinks about you daily You haven't been forsook. Your photos are quite handy In her Pentium notebook. She scans your artwork now, though, And combines it with cool sounds To make electronic greetings; She prints pictures by the pounds. She's right there when you need her You really aren't alone. She's out now with her "puter" pals But she took her new cell phone. You can also leave a message On her answering machine Or page her at the fun meet She's been there since nine-fifteen. Yes, the world's a very different place, There is no doubt of that, So "E" her from her web page, Or join her in a chat. She's joined the electronic age And it really seems to suit her, So don't expect the same old gal, 'cause Grandma's gone "Computer." --- ...That's Right! Thanks Wesley!

Thanks Johanna! -<>- __ /_/\/\ \_\ / /_/ \ \_\/\ \ \_\/ unknown >A small cross - A powerful message What about this idea? __________________________________________________________ When driving to, from, and through Frankenmuth , Michigan , I'm always intrigued with the many small simple crosses in the front yards of the homes we pass by. Those crosses are a statement of support for Frankenmuth's Christian foundation. Two years ago an atheist living there complained about two crosses on a bridge in town. He requested that they be removed and the town removed them. He then decided that, since he was so successful with that, the city shield should also be changed since it had on it, along with other symbols, a heart with a cross inside signifying the city's Lutheran beginnings. At that point, the residents decided they had had enough. Hundreds of residents made their opinions known by placing small crosses in their front yards. Seeing this quiet but powerful statement from the community, the man removed his complaint. Those simple crosses remain in those front yards today. After passing those crosses for two years, it finally hit me that a small cross in millions of front yards across our country could provide a powerful and inspiring message for all Americans passing them every day. I think it might be time to take this idea across America . We have an administration that says "we are not a Christian nation" and everywhere you look the ACLU and others are trying to remove from our history and current lives any reference to God, prayer, or the fact that our country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Our administration can't bring themselves to talk about "radical Muslims or Islamic terrorists" for fear of offending them, but they can talk about Americans "clinging to their guns and their religion", or insinuate that our own military troops coming home from service overseas might turn into terrorists. The majority of Americans are Christians, why are we letting this happen to us? IT''S TIME TO STAND UP AND MAKE A STATEMENT. A SMALL QUIET BUT POWERFUL STATEMENT. IF YOU AGREE, PLACE A SMALL WHITE CROSS IN YOUR FRONT YARD OR GARDEN FOR ALL TO SEE THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE. It would be a beautiful thing to see crosses all across America . Please pass this along. Encourage all you know to stand for America 's Judeo-Christian heritage and our religious freedom. "IN GOD WE TRUST" --- ...Awesome! Thank You Johanna! Trouble is, I'd be thinking somebody died in your yard if I saw a cross there. Trained I suppose. Personally I like the anchor or cross with anchor symbol. See this teaching... Hebrews 6:19 "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."

The first kid said, 'I want to go to Disneyland' Barak said, 'No problem, I'll take you there on my special airplane.' The second kid said, 'I want a new pair of Nike Air Jordan shoes.' Barak said, 'I'll get them for you and even have Michael Jordan sign them!' The third kid said, 'I want a motorized wheelchair with a built in TV and stereo headset!'

Today the Lebanese nation is alive and is a role model for regional nations. “The world should know that Bint Jbeil is proud and will stand against the enemies till the end.” Then during a visit to the nearby village of Qana, Ahmadinejad — who refuses to refer to Israel by name — said: “You are victorious and your enemies are defeated. “You will stay and your enemies, who are the enemies of humanity, are on their way to demise and annihilation. You are honored and your Zionist enemies are humiliated and weak.” During his visit to Lebanon, Ahmadinejad met at the Iranian embassy in Beirut with Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, who has rarely emerged from his bunker since the 2006 war in Lebanon, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported. Nasrallah gave Ahmadinejad a gun he claimed had been taken from Israeli soldiers during the war. Israel’s Foreign Ministry said Ahmadinejad was “transforming Lebanon into a platform for his aggressive plans against Israel.” --- ...Yes B.D., I agree with you, Ahmadinejad is evil.

Piper Gaffrey of Fort Walton Beach said her husband was running the sale before she arrived last week and she soon found the potted violet holding the ashes of her grandmother, Marjorie Potts Gaffrey, who died in February at age 99, had been sold, the Northwest Florida Daily News reported Thursday. Gaffery said she posted a message on her Facebook page asking whoever purchased the flower to take good care of it and she was surprised to receive a message in return from the buyer. "Fortunately, it was (bought by) someone who knew me," Gaffrey said. "I was just glad to have her back." -- Police use stun gun on nude jogger ----------- WEST MELBOURNE, Fla. - Florida police said they used a stun gun to stop an 18-year-old nude jogger who repeated- ly refused to halt. West Melbourne police said an officer responded to a report of a man running nude at about 7 a.m. Monday and spotted Zak Anthony King of Palm Bay, Fla., running along a street wearing nothing but swimming goggles, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported Thursday. The officer pulled up alongside King and repeatedly told him to stop but King did not comply, police said. The arrest report said the officer told King he would use his stun gun if he did not stop running and King was quoted as replying, "Why would you Tase me?" However, King did not stop and the officer used the stun gun to stun King, who fell to the sidewalk. King received treatment for minor injuries at a hospital and was given a notice to appear in court on charges of resisting arrest without violence and indecent exposure. -- Teacher's aide sues boy, 11 ---------------- NEW YORK - A New York teacher's aide is suing an 11-year- old boy, claiming he knocked her down and injured her back while running for ice cream. Rosanna Tomack, 62, is suing Joseph Cicack in a New York Supreme Court after an incident that took place in 2006, when the boy was 8 years old, the New York Post reported Monday. Edmond Chakmakian, Tomack's lawyer, said his client required spinal fusion surgery and has been unable to return to work since Cicack ran into her and knocked her down at the city's Public School 94. "It's a legitimate case," Chakmakian told the Post. "It's not silly." The lawyer said his client is seeking damages from the insurance policy covering the boy's parents' home. -- New Zealand town to vote on spelling ----------- WANGANUI, New Zealand - District councilors in Wanganui, New Zealand, have voted to allow the citizens to decide whether the city's name should instead be spelled "Whanganui." The councilors decided Monday to put the question to voters after the local Geographic Board said 10 days earlier that the current spelling, which omits the "h," was the result of a mistake 150 years ago, Radio New Zealand reported. The district council said a historian will be hired to research the issue and help voters made an informed choice. -- Fraudster wears 'money' socks to court ---------- MANCHESTER, England - A British woman convicted of amassing $88,500 through benefits fraud arrived in court wearing novelty socks bearing the message: "Show me the money." Sylvia Rogers, 50, of Manchester, England, said her choice of socks was a "coincidence" after she admitted to wrongly claiming $41,000 in welfare benefits, the Daily Mail reported. "It never came into my head that I had them on," she said of her socks. Rogers made her thousands by putting her welfare money into high-yield accounts, court records said. Welfare recipients are allowed to save their money but rules state they are not allowed to have investments topping $23,500. The woman pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud. She was given a 6-month suspended jail sentence and ordered to complete 240 hours of community service. -- Police prevent pillow fight ---------------- DETROIT - Detroit police foiled plans for an impromptu pillow fight at Campus Martius Park by confiscating pillows from the would-be participants. People who showed up for the Saturday event, one of at least 50 scheduled around the world using social networking Web sites, said officers were stationed at the park and confiscated pillows prior to the brawl's planned 4 p.m. start time, the Detroit News reported Monday. One attempted pillow fighter said he was told by an officer that about 5,000 pillows had been collected as of 4 p.m. Saturday. Detroit Police spokesman James Tate said the event posed cleanup issues for the city, as large-scale pillow fights tend to leave large amounts of feathers behind, and officers were concerned that some people who didn't want to participate could be hit by mistake. "They took my pillows but let me keep my cases," Michael Davis, 32, told the News. "They told me I needed a permit. I can understand." However, some of those whose pillows were taken were less understanding, the newspaper said. "I am furious," said Elida Quesada, 23. "It (a pillow fight) is so silly and childlike. It would have been fun. It seems like everything that is fun is illegal." =========================================================== >-->From Our Friend John-Paul :) , }`-. , , \ \ '-' \ .-'{ _} . | ,`\ / ' ; .-;\ { \ | | / `/ '-.,/ ; | { -- -.

The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to determine his answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death. The question? What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable of men, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by the year's end. He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer, not even a hint. * xXxx xXXx * ^^ xxXXx /\__{^^}__/\ xxXXxx * / _ _ \ xxXXxx \/ \/\ww/\/ \/ xxXXxx {~~~~\ xxxXxx ~\:::~~\ * xxxXxx ~~\:::~\ xxXXxx \::::\ xxXXxxx * }::::} xxxXxxx }::::} xxxXXxxx /::::/ * xxxxXXxx /::::/ xxxxXXxx {~~~:::/~ %%xxxxx%% ~~~~~~ %%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%% * * %%%%%%%%%%% xxxxxxxx%%%%% xxXXXXXXXxxx%%% ^^ * xxXx/////xxXxxx%% /\__{^^}__/\ xxxxxxxxxXxx////(/xxXxxx% / _ _ \ XXXXXXXxx//(/(((/xxxXxx \/ \/\ww/\/ \/ * xxxx////(/(/(/)\\xXxx ///////(/(/(/\)\\xxxx /((/(//(/(/((\/\)xXxxx //(/(/(//(/ \ \)\xxxxx //((//(/( / \ \\\xxxx * * (((///(\ \ / )\)\xXxx /(//((/(\ @ /@ )\\)\xxxx //(/(///(\::/ \:::)\\))\xxxx /(/(/(///(\:( ):/)\\)\)\xXxx /((/(/(/(/(\ \ / /)\\)\\)\xxxxx //(/(/(/(\\ \__/ /)\\\)\)\\ xxx /////(/(/(/(\\\ //)))\)\\) * /((/(/(/(/(\\\_///)))\)\\\\) ///(/(/(/(\)) ((/)\)\)\\)\\\ * ///((/(/(/(/)) ((/)\)\))\\)))\ (///(/(/(//) ((/\\)\)))\\ ///(/(/(// \)\\\))\ Abbey Birk (/((/ \ \ ) Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged. The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to request an audience with the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to accept her price first. The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled worse than swamp cabbage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life and destiny. Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch were married. The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom chamber. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half. Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night? Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments? What would YOU do? What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll below. Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life. Now....what is the moral to this story? Scroll down The moral is..... If you don't let a woman have her own way.... Things are likely too get really ugly. ============================================================== >-->From Our Friend Del :) /|\ /::| \ /::::| \ /::::::| \ /::::::::| \ \::::::::| / \::::::| / \::::| / \::| / \|/ + -Bob Harris- I was in my back yard trying to launch a kite.

EATING OUT When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. MONEY A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. BATHROOMS A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. ARGUMENTS A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. FUTURE A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. SUCCESS A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successfulwoman is one who can find such a man. MARRIAGE A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does. DRESSING UP A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. NATURAL Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night. OFFSPRING Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
