I always know God won't give me more than I can handle,
but there are times I wish He didn't trust me quite so much.


God, grant me the Senility to forget the people
I never liked ,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do,
And the eyesight to tell the difference.

TGIF

FRIDAY  NOVEMBER 30,2007


THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night."


A Columbia Doctor's secretary called an old farmer out my way and said:
"Your check came back." The old man replied, "So did my arthritis."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the mid-1950s my father completed a tour of duty at Elmendorf Air
Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska. We were stationed with him and returned
to Seattle aboard the troopship USS Funston. As troop commander, Dad was
charged with conducting daily inspections of the men's quarters, galley
and mess hall. My four-year-old brother, Stuart, tagged along one day.
As usual, the galley gleamed, floors were spotless, and the mess-hall
tables and condiment containers were aligned with military precision. My
father was about to pass the inspection when Stuart piped up, "Daddy,
look at all the gum under the table!" Dad bent down to the eye level of
a small child, and was horrified to see years' worth of petrified
chewing gum covering the bottoms of the tables. The mess hall did not
pass inspection until later that day and the troops who scraped off all
that gum could happily have thrown my little brother in the brig.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GIMME A BREAK, IT'S A HABIT
I arrived early at the office one morning and noticed that someone had
left the lid to the copy machine open. I closed the lid and settled in
for the workday. Over the next few weeks I found someone was continually
leaving the lid up. Finally I caught the guilty party, surprised that I
hadn't figured it out before. The culprit was Richard, the only male on
our staff.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I was standing in line at a restaurant, waiting to pay my
bill behind two women who handed the young waitress a
credit card. After swiping the card through the card reader, she loudly
called out to her manager, "Mr. Calvet, what do I do if it says
REJECTED?"
As the women's faces reddened and customers turned to
look, Mr. Calvet walked out from the kitchen. "Well," he answered,
wiping his hands, "the first thing you do is shout it out loud enough to
embarrass the customer, who might have been thinking of leaving you a
tip."
~~~~~~~~~
Obvious relationship.....
Science has a language of its own which sometimes puzzles laymen. The
word "obvious" is a case in point. A professor of physics, deriving some
profound point of theory for the class, scribbled an equation on the
board and said, "From this, it is obvious that we can proceed to write
the following relationship..." and he scribbled a second and equally
long equation on the board. Then he paused. He stared hard at the two
equations and said, "Wait a minute, I may be wrong..." He sat down and
began to write at his desk furiously, crossing out and rewriting for
five minutes while the class sat in absolute silence waiting for the
verdict. Finally, the professor rose with an air of satisfaction and
said, "Yes, I was right in the first place. It is obvious that the
second equation follows from the first."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Truth Hurts . . .

   I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose-fitting
clothing.
If I HAD any loose-fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the
first place!
~~~~~~~~~~~
When I was young we used to go "skinny dipping", now I just "chunky
dunk".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could
simply press :
     'Ctrl Alt Delete' ...and start all over
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Stress is when you wake up screaming and then you realize you
haven't fallen asleep yet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    My husband says I never listen to him. At least I think that's what
he said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Why is it that our children can't read a Bible in school, but they
can in prison?
~~~~~~~~~~~
    If raising children was going to be easy, it never would have
started
                with something called labor!

     We were on our way to the hospital where our 16-year-old daughter
was scheduled to undergo a tonsillectomy. During the ride we talked
about how the procedure would be performed.
      "Dad," our teenager asked, "how are they going to keep my mouth
open during the surgery?"
      Without hesitation he quipped, "They're going to give you a phone

runs into a problem rider. One passenger, for instance, seemed
irritated at having to hand over his ticket to be punched.
      "Where are you going today?" Bob asked, smiling.
      "Well, what does the ticket say?" replied the traveler
sarcastically.   "Um, it says you're on the wrong train," Bob informed
him.
      "What am I supposed to do now?" asked the flustered passenger.
      Returning the punched card, Bob replied calmly, "Ask the ticket."

sat down, the little boy suddenly yelled out, "PLAY BALL!!!"

One day, as soon as she woke up, Hannah decided that she was sick and
tired of all her husband Arnold's blonde jokes and how he thought that
all blondes were stupid. To show Arnold how wrong he was and to prove to
him that blondes really were smart, Hannah decided to decorate two rooms
while he was at work.

When Arnold returned home that evening, he immediately smelled the
distinctive aroma of wet paint. He went into the dining room and there
he found Hannah lying on the floor in a pool of sweat. He couldn't help
but notice that she was wearing her fur coat on top of her ski jacket.

He went over to her and asked, "Are you OK, darling?"

She replied, "Yes, of course I am."

"So what on earth are you doing dressed like that?" he
said.

"Darling," she said, "I wanted to prove to you that not all blonde women
are dumb and I wanted to do it by painting some rooms in our house."

"But why are you wearing your fur coat over your ski jacket?" he asked.

"I was reading the directions on the paint can, "she replied, "and it
said.... FOR BEST RESULTS, PUT ON TWO FULL COATS."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My husband picked up an old sweater to wear over his work clothes.
He struggled to pull it on, grumbling that I always seemed to shrink
things in the wash. "This was one of my favorites," he complained.
"It's not that bad," I consoled, looking at his bare wrists and shirt
poking out from his waist. In resignation, he fought his way out of
it and tossed it to our 13-year-old son. "Here's a new sweater for you,
Otis," he said. Otis looked at it and replied, "It is my sweater."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had spent our vacation with my husband's family at their cottage.
My 2-year-old daughter, Natalie, had shared a bedroom with her
grandparents, and much to our surprise, her grandfather's snoring
hadn't disturbed her. In fact, it seemed to have a soothing effect on her.
About a week after we returned home, Natalie and I were outside on
the deck when someone up the block started a power saw. Natalie's face
lit up. "Grandpa!" she squealed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While I was visiting my father, my brother called. He couldn't get his
secondhand clothes dryer to work. He had tested it before buying and
had been satisfied that it was a worthwhile purchase. My father made
several suggestions, but nothing seemed to work. Then my husband,
sitting across the room, asked if the dryer door was open. Dad passed
the question along, and his grin provided the answer. My brother
quickly said good-bye and hung up.

 **** COUNTRY MUSIC NEWS ****

Country Music entertainer Ferlin Husky was hospitalized on Tuesday in
Springfield, Missouri.

Doctors placed a stent in Husky's right leg to aid with circulation problems
according to Tracy Pitcox, president of Heart of Texas Records, Husky's
label.

Husky, 81, was admitted to St. John's Hospital for the scheduled surgery
after doctors found substantial artery blockage in his leg. A similiar
operation was done on his left leg earlier this year.

"The surgery was very successful and Mr. Husky's doctors expect him to fully
recover," Pitcox said.

The Flat River, Mo., native had open heart surgery in 1977. He also was
hospitalized for a week in 1983 after suffering a heart attack in Seattle.
He most recently had heart stents in 2005.

Despite his health, Husky still performs about once a month and was recently
honored by the Tennessee Senate for his contributions to the music industry.

He made 18 movies with co-stars like Jayne Mansfield ("Las Vegas
Hillbillies" in 1966) and Zsa Zsa Gabor ("Country Music Holiday" in 1958).

Husky's most memorable songs include "Wings of A Dove" and "Gone."

He has homes in Missouri and Tennessee.


Toby Keith speaks out about dismissed copyright infringement case

NICOLE KEIPER
Staff Writer
A copyright infringement lawsuit brought against country big dog Toby Keith by folk singer Michael McCloud has been dismissed, and "I Love This Bar" scribe Keith has issued a statement regarding the favorable outcome:

"It is an awful thing to be accused wrongfully of copyright infringement. It goes to the core of what you are as a man, a singer/songwriter and an artist," Keith said.

"You know it is being done to you by some greedy lowlife opportunist who just wants to get rich off you. In fact, Michael Snyder a/k/a Michael McCloud publicly bragged this lawsuit would make him a rich man, that I would buy him a comfortable life, retirement, house, car, 'big' boat, Harvard education for his children and other things. While he was talking, I was put in the terrible position of not being able to defend myself until the trial and I just could not wait for that day to come. I knew it would take no time at all for the case to be dismissed and it was, of course, with prejudice which means: He had no case whatsoever.

"I don't have a problem taking heat for my politics or my music. You can like my songs or not but they mean everything to me. I have always said that I may not always be a performer but I will always be a songwriter. So when this lawsuit was filed, it pissed me off. And no matter what it took, I was going to fight it. It was just too wrong. This guy can't sue me again for copyright infringement according to the judgment and I feel that maybe I landed a blow not only for myself, my reputation but for other artists as well. I hope so. As I said, the case was dismissed with prejudice. I didn't pay him or his lawyers a thing."


Montgomery Gentry and others lend their music to a compilation for U.S. troops

NICOLE KEIPER
Staff Writer
A group of 13 heavy-selling recording artists -- including Montgomery Gentry, Billy Joel, Jewel, Josh Groban, Los Lonely Boys, Melissa Etheridge and others -- have donated music to a collection called CD for the Troops, which will be made available to anyone with a valid military identification card to download free of charge at the Army and Air Force Exchange Service Web site, www.aafes.com.

The collection was meant as a token of thanks, and, says contributor John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting, was born of the feeling that music has the ability to affect morale and mental health.

"I thought it was a wonderful gesture," he said. "I started making a few calls to friends of mine, and six months later we have the CD for the troops."

Ondrasik was moved to kick off the project after being asked to lend music and write an introduction for a compilation of local bands sending music to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hard copies of the collection will also be made available to members of the military through various organizations.

Tickets for Garth Brooks fire benefit go on sale Saturday
Thursday, November 29, 2007 – Tickets for Garth Brooks's Los Angeles benefit show in January for victims of the recent wildfires in the state will go on sale Saturday, Dec. 1 at 9 a.m.
Brooks was approached by California state elected officials and civic leaders from areas affected by recent wildfires. The show will be held Jan. 26, 2008 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Tickets for all seats are $38.60 (plus 1.40 city amusement tax and $5.00 handling charge) will be available via Ticketmaster charge-by-phone network and on-line at www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets will not be available at the Staples Center Box Office or other outlets. There will be a limit of six tickets per person.
 
Organizers AEG and Brooks announced that all ticket sale proceeds from the concert sponsored by American Express and official media sponsor the Los Angeles Times, will be donated to the "Southern California 2008 Fire Relief Campaign," a campaign of the McCormick Tribune Foundation.
 
The funds will be granted to agencies providing aid to victims and the first responders of the Los Angeles and San Diego wildfires in addition to providing financial assistance to California firefighting departments and organizations in need of additional or replacement firefighting equipment to better perform their duties. The Foundation will also be responsible for grant administration and recordkeeping.
 
American Express announced that their organization will donate $20 for each ticket purchased with an American Express card with a guaranteed commitment to the fund of $1 million. The McCormick Foundation has also pledged to match the first $2 million raised at 50 cents on the dollar (up to a $1 million match) in addition to promotional support from the Los Angeles Times. AEG has donated the use of the Staples venue for Brooks, who last appeared in Los Angeles in 2001.
 
"Please let everyone know I hate to ask so much for a ticket but, 100 percent of the money is going to victims of the recent fires and to the firefighters facing future fires," said Brooks.
 
"Garth was extremely aware of what our region has had to endure and was on-board the very moment our City and State leaders requested that he perform," said Tim Leiweke, President and chief executive officer of AEG. "Having the ability to play a role in helping Californians who have lost their homes and possessions get back on their feet in addition to helping our firefighters, the true heroes to us all, be better prepared to do their jobs was all it took. Those lucky enough to be at Staples Center on Jan. 26th will not only experience one of the greatest live performers of all-time, but will be joining Garth in helping firefighters and our fellow Californians who are in need."
 
'Tis not the season for music as album sales tumble 

    Nobody's fault but the greed of the record companys.
The artists certainly don't make much,they hit the road
as they always have
now ya can read the rest of this if you choose to......Jim


By Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY

Still deep in the red after Black Friday, the music industry is facing its steepest annual losses to date, with hopes for a year-end holiday turnaround all but Scrooged.
While album sales for the week ending Sunday were up 19% over the previous week, the Thanksgiving week total of 14 million albums trails 2006's take by 18%. So far in 2007, 415.7 million albums have been sold, down 14% from last year, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"This won't be made up by the end of the year," predicts Geoff Mayfield, Billboard's director of charts. "We've yet to have a week where album sales have beaten those of the same week the prior year."

Last year ended with album sales down 4.9%. The loss shrank to 1.2% with the inclusion of "track-equivalent albums," in which 10 downloaded tracks are counted as one album. Though digital sales are up 46% this year, the combined album and track-equivalent sales are lagging 2006 by 8.5%.

One reason: a dearth of superstar titles.

"I'm always one who complains there are too many releases in the last quarter, but we finally had one where perhaps a few more big names would have helped," Mayfield says. "There were no huge releases for Thanksgiving week."

Instead, Josh Groban's seven-week-old Noel rose to claim Billboard's No. 1 spot after selling 405,000 copies, and the highest debut is Jordin Sparks' self-titled disc, at No. 10 with 119,000, the lowest start ever for an American Idol winner. Last Thanksgiving, five debuts cracked the top 10, including discs by Chris Daughtry, The Beatles, Snoop Dogg, 2Pac and Jay-Z.

"Music may be feeling the effects of the TV writers' strike," says Daily Variety associate editor Phil Gallo. "You don't have late-night shows promoting new albums or songs getting placed on new shows."

Dwindling record stores also have hampered sales, he says, and album retail space in big-box chains has been shrinking in favor of DVDs.

Albums by U2, Mariah Carey, Usher, Green Day and other hot sellers were expected this fall but pushed to next year. The good news?

"What's causing pain in 2007 could be a big gain in 2008, especially if they come early, giving ammo to a part of the year that's often fallow," Mayfield says.

The numbers shouldn't leave the impression that music isn't thriving, he says. Piracy drains profits, and the industry is struggling to calculate other means of music consumption. In 2008, Billboard will introduce a chart ranking artist popularity based on aggregate sales of albums, singles, ringtones and DVDs.

"People are more engaged than ever in music, whether through downloads, peer-to-peer, streaming, ringtones, fan clubs or tours," Mayfield says. "The industry is still finding out how to measure and monetize these avid interests."

**** TODAY'S USELESS FACT ****

Were people really buried alive in the cement during the Bay Bridge's construction?

 Sometimes mistaken for the Golden Gate Bridge by camera toting tourists, the Bay Bridge connects San Francisco and Oakland via two discrete bridges and a tunnel through Yerba Buena Island. But do its massive concrete moorings harbor a grisly secret?

Not according to NewBayBridge.org, a promotional site for the bridge's new eastern span. Their detailed construction history refutes the urban legend. Tour boat operators are fond of telling their passengers that several construction workers were buried alive inside "Moran's Island," a concrete pier the size of the Empire State Building. It just ain't so.

But the construction of the
Bay Bridge did come at a price. During the construction, 24 men died. It cost an astounding $78 million during the height of the Great Depression. It also took 18% of all the steel manufactured in the United States in 1933.

These days, the bridge is still in the news thanks to an ongoing debate over which type of design should be used for the new eastern span. It's the age old question of ugly and affordable vs. attractive and expensive.
Bay Bridge category for more.
