TGIF
FRIDAY JUNE 16,2006

THOUGHT FOR TODAY: A
reputation is based not so much on what you stand for, as what you fall
for.
A Special
Birthday This Week. Can you believe it? Monica Lewinsky turned 31 this
week. It seems like only yesterday she was crawling around the White
House on her hands and knees.
They grow up so
fast......... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ADVICE TO BE PASSED ON TO YOUR
DAUGHTER
* Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in
diapers.
* What do you do if your boyfriend walks-out? You shut
the door. * If they put a man on the moon - they should be able to put
them all up there.
* Never let your man's mind wander - it's too
little to be out alone.
* Go for younger men. You might as well -
they never mature
anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two golfing friends were about to tee off, when one
fellow noticed that his partner had but one golf ball. "Don't you have at
least one other ball?", he asked. "Nope, I only need one ball." "Are you
sure? What happens if you lose that one?" "This is a very special golf ball.
You can't lose it, so I don't need another one." "What do you mean you can't
lose it! What happens if you slice your shot and the ball goes in the lake?"
"That's okay, this special golf ball senses when it's under water and it
puts out a steam of bubbles. I'll be able to retrieve it. You can't lose
this ball" "Well what happens if you hit it into the long rough?" "No
problem, you see, this ball can detect the long grass and it sends up puffs of
fluorescent smoke. I'll be able to see it easily. You can't lose this ball"
Exasperated, the friend asks, "Okay. Let's say our game goes late, the sun
goes down, and you hit your ball deep into the trees and it gets lost among
the bushes and shrubs?. What are you going to do then?" "That's okay too.
You see, this special ball can sense the darkness and it makes a beeping sound.
I'll be able to get it back - no problem." Finally satisfied that he needs
only the one amazing golf ball, the friend asks, "Hey, where did you get a
golf ball like that anyway?" "I found
it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A very
genteel Southern lady was driving across the Savannah River Bridge in Georgia
one day. As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixing
to jump. She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, "Please
don't jump, think of your dear mother and father." He replied, "Mom and Dad
are both dead; I'm going to jump." She said, "Well, think of your wife and
children." He replied, "I'm not married and I don't have any kids." She
said, "Well, think of Robert E. Lee." He replied, ''Who's Robert E. Lee?''
She replied, ''Well bless your heart, just go ahead and jump, you dumb
ass Yankee."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "According to
the insurance companies, you know what the most stolen vehicle
is? The Cadillac Escalade. The least stolen car. The
popemobile." --Jay Leno

in New York City. You can tell too. Over at St. Patrick's
Cathedral they put a lime wedge into the holy water." --Dave
Letterman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Becky
prepared a pasta dish for a dinner party she was giving. In her
haste, however, she forgot to refrigerate the spaghetti sauce,
and it sat on the counter all day. She was worried about
spoilage, but it was too late to cook up another
batch.
She called the local Poison Control Center and voiced
her concern. They advised Becky to just boil the sauce
again and it should be fine.
That night, the
phone rang during dinner, and one of the guests volunteered to
answer it. Becky's face dropped as the guest called out,
"It's the Poison Control Center. They want to know how the
spaghetti sauce turned out."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I was
a child, I remember my Mom telling me, "Son, when you grow up,
you can marry any girl you please."
When I became a young
man, I learned the sad fact was that I could not please any of
them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An old man
walks into the University Offices and says "I'd like to enrol for a Latin
course."
The Dean looks at him and asks rather coyly, "How old are you,
Sir?"
"Ninety-three" is the reply.
"Then why do you want to learn
Latin, at your time in life?"
"Well" the man explains "I realize I
haven't got long for this world, but if I go to Heaven I'd like to be able to
speak to God and the Angels in their own language, and I'd feel more comfortable
if I knew some Latin."
The Dean thinks, and then asks "But what if you
don't go to Heaven but go to - you know - the other place?"
"That's
alright, I can already speak
American." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two
men walk into a bar. One sits at one end of the bar and the other at the
opposite end. The bartender asks the first man what he wants.
I'll have a
Frizzle...that's a beer with a splash of tonic, a splash of orange juice, a
squeeze of lemon, no lime."
Then the man at the other end of the bar
orders. "Make mine a Frizzle.It's a beer with just a bit of tonic, a bit of
orange juice, a squeeze of lemon, but no lime."
The astonished
bartender makes the drinks. Then he asks the first man what he does for a
living.
"I am a theoretical mathematician at the university."
Then
he asks the other man what he does.
"Theoretical mathematician at the
college."
"This is remarkable," says the bartender. "You both order a
drink that I've never heard of. You have the identical profession and you
both walk into my bar on the same day at the same time. What are the odds
on something like that happening?"
Both men look up and answer in
unison, "Twelve trillion, nine hunderd, and eighty-seven billion to
one." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get
ready for the adventure of a lifetime, TRY THIS:
Enter Mexico illegally.
Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that
nonsense.
Once there, demand that the local government provide free
medical care for you and your entire family.
Demand bilingual nurses and
doctors.
Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc.
Procreate abundantly.
Deflect any criticism of this allegedly
irresponsible reproductive behavior with, "It is a cultural U.S.A.thing. You
would not understand, pal."
Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old
Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your
car bumper.
Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your
children do likewise.
Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican
school system.
Demand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford
other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal,
presence in Mexico
Drive around with no liability insurance and ignore
local traffic laws.
Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach
English to all its officers.
Good luck! You'll be demanding for the rest
of time or soon be dead. Because it will never happen. It will not happen in
Mexico or any other country in the world except right here in the United States,
Land of the naive and stupid, idiotic politically correct politicians.
If
you agree, pass it on. If you don't, go ahead and try the above in Mexico or
Iraq ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jean
Chretien awoke one morning to a glorious day. The sky was clear, and the sun
was bright and radiant. Jean decided to walk to Parliament Hill.
As he
was walking, he looked up at the sun, and said, "Mister Sun, who is da
greatest Prime Minister dis country has ever had?"
The sun beamed down
upon Jean, and in a booming voice responded, "Jean, there is no doubt that
you are the greatest Prime Minister that Canada has ever had!"
Jean's
chest puffed out and he arrived at work feeling wonderful and important. He
had a marvellous day, so marvellous that he decided to walk home. The evening
was as glorious as had been the morning.
As he walked, he looked up at
the sun and asked, "So, Mr. Sun,am I not da greatest Prime Minister
Canada has ever had?
The Sun looked down at him, and in a booming
voice, responded, "Jean, you are an idiot. This country has never seen a
worse Prime Minister in its entire history."
Taken aback, Jean
responded,
"But dis morning, you said dat I was de greatest Prime
Minister dis country has ever had. Why did you change your mind?
Jean,
this morning, I was in the East. Tonight, I'm in the
West! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Actually,
Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, made about $2 million
this past weekend, whereas X-men made about $150 million. That
just shows we're more interested in the fake people saving the
fake earth than the real people trying to save the real earth."
--Jay Leno
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A friend,
driving home from a fishing trip in northern Michigan with his boat in tow,
had engine trouble a few miles inland from Lake Huron. He didn't have a CB
radio in his car, so he decided to use his marine radio to get help. Climbing
into his boat, he broadcast his call letters and asked for
assistance.
A Coast Guard officer responded, "Please give your
location."
"I'm on Interstate-75, two miles south of
Standish."
The officer paused, "Could you repeat that?"
"I-75, two
miles south of Standish."
A longer pause. Then an incredulous voice
asked, "How fast were you going when you hit
shore?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "About
$1.4 billion of aid money to Hurricane Katrina victims has gone
to alcohol, vacations and pornography. The worst part is that
some of that was wasted." --Conan O'Brien
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An old man
and woman were married for years, even though they hated each other. When
they had a confrontation, screaming and yelling could be heard deep into the
night. The old man would shout, "When I die, I will dig my way up and out
of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your
life!"
Neighbors feared him. They believed he practiced black magic
because of the many strange occurrences that took place in their
neighborhood. The old man liked the fact he was feared.
To everyone's
relief, he died of a heart attack when he was 68. His wife had a closed
casket at the wake. After the burial, she went straight to the local bar and
began to party as if there was no tomorrow.
Her neighbors,
concerned for her safety, asked, "Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be
able to dig his way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you
for the rest of your life?" The wife put down her drink and said, "Let him
dig. I had him buried upside
down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An
eminent psychologist was called to testify in court. A severe no- nonsense
professional, she sat down in the witness chair unaware that it's rear legs
were set precariously on the back of the raised platform.
"Will you state
your name?" asked the district attorney.
Tilting back in her chair she
opened her mouth to answer, but instead catapulted head- over-heels backward
and landed in a stack of exhibits and recording equipment.
Everyone
watched in stunned silence as she extricated herself, rearranged her
disheveled dress and hair and was reseated on the witness stand. The glare
she directed at onlookers dared anyone to so much as smirk.
"Well,
doctor," continued the district attorney without changing expression, "we
could start with an easier
question." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An
older man strode in to his doctors office and said, "Doc, my
druggist said to tell you to change my prescription and to check
the prescription you've been giving to Mrs. Smith."
"Oh, he
did, did he?" the doctor shot back. "And since when does a
druggist second guess a doctor's orders?"
The old man says,
"Since he found out I've been on birth control pills since
December."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While making
rounds, a doctor points out an X-ray to a group of medical
students. "As you can see," she says, "the patient limps because
his left fibula and tibia are radically arched.
Michael,
what would you do in a case like this?" "Well," ponders the
student, "I suppose I'd limp too

Coffee seen to protect against
cirrhosis
OAKLAND, Calif., -- A study by
California's Kaiser Perma- nente Medical Care Program has found
another benefit from coffee -- protection against alcoholic
cirrhosis of the liver. For every cup of java, the study found a
20-percent decline in risk of alcoholic cirrhosis, reports The
Wall Street Journal. Drinking four cups a day lowered the
risk by 80 percent. The study was based on a review of
the medical and death records of 125,580 health-plan
members through 2001. The new data appear in the latest
edition of the Archives of Internal Medicine. The report said
the study's lead author Arthur Klatsky noted caffeine
isn't believed to be the top player because tea
drinking produced no lower risk. The study also didn't
distinguish between regular and decaffeinated coffee. Klatsky
said coffee raises blood pressure in inexperienced drinkers
but not in veterans. He also said some studies have found
a slightly higher risk of heart attack, possibly linked
to rises in cholesterol observed when people drink
boiled coffee, but not the filtered kind. Klatsky said his
re- search team doesn't have any stake in or support from
the coffee
industry. Injectable alcoholism drug developed
FRAZER, Pa., -- A U.S. biotech firm has reportedly
devel- oped a monthly injectable alcoholism treatment as
a substitute for a daily pill. The drug -- being
marketed by Cephalon Inc., in Frazer, Pa. -- was developed
by Alkermes Inc. of Cambridge, Mass., as an
extended-release injection form of naltrexone. The new drug,
Vivitrol, works by blocking neurotransmitters believed to
be associated with alcohol dependence, diminishing the
crav- ing for alcohol, the Philadelphia Inquirer
reported Tuesday. Vivitrol has been approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration for use by adults able to
abstain from drinking alcohol in an outpatient setting, and
who are not actively drinking when they begin treatment.
The monthly intramuscular shot will cost $695, with
Alkermes and Cephalon sharing profits from Vivitrol sales, as
well as developing future commercial uses, possibly to
treat other addictions. Researchers told the Inquirer
Vivitrol will be administered only by healthcare personnel
in offices, hospitals, and clinics, and the treatment
will include counseling.
UB gets federal grant for stem cell study
BUFFALO, N.Y., -- A stem cell biologist at the University
at Buffalo has received a $1.98 million federal research
grant. Te-Chung Lee, associate professor of biochemistry,
will investigate the potential of bone marrow-derived adult
stem cells to treat the serious heart malfunction known as
hibernating myocardium. Hibernating myocardium is a condition in
which heart cells that have experienced reduced blood flow over
an extended period of time due to narrowed coronary arteries
adapt by down-regulating metabolism while remaining functionally
viable. Previous work at the university has shown restoring
normal blood flow to such "hibernating" regions improves
function. However, scientists also found cells in the
left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber, often
do not return to normal, leaving the heart compromised.
Lee and colleagues will investigate whether transplanting
a swine model's own bone marrow stem cells into the
down- regulated tissue can change the myocardial
adaptive responses and improve the function of the
hibernating myocardium. The grant is being provided by the
National Institutes of Health.

Happy Father's
Day
Dad, you have been gone for about forty years
now. You left me when you were far too young, at the age of 52. I
would like to thank you for teaching me to be a good father.
Other teenagers said they wished I was their dad, for being a good
grandfather. Dad did you know I have one great-grandchild and
twenty-seven grandchildren? I was packmaster of my boy's cub scout
pack. I coached each of their baseball teams. I even worked a
second job in their school so I could eat lunch with them. I made a
point to take off my regular job so I could enroll them in school
each year. I loved being a dad... being there for
them. Did you know I ran electric
trains for their classes one day a year? I would look at their eyes as
they stood back with pride in their eyes as their daddy was there in their
classroom. Later when a scandal broke out in our neighborhood about a
bus driver who abused a lot of children, I did not worry because I knew
where my children where at all times. When they played at other
children's homes, I went there with them and visited with the parents.
When I arrived home from work, we went to
the park to play. I knew my boys were boys and needed to expend some
energy. So we ran and played. We laughed. We became weary.
Perhaps the best memory was our Friday
nights. I would drag my mattress into the living room and the boys
would wrestle each other (again to drain their energy). If the tempers
became short, I would stop the game or join it, them verus me. After
supper we would lay on the mattress and watch TV, tired bodies, pop some
popcorn and watch movies and drift off asleep. Me and my boys. Dad
and sons. So Dad I would like to thank you for
raising me and teaching me how to be a father.....but I cannot. You
were not there for me. You were a father to booze, not your son. You
never played with me. We never had the father/son times that I craved as a
child. What you did teach me was how not to raise a child. What I
craved as a child, I passed on to my children. I remember you striking
my mother, my children never had to see that ugliness in our home. I
learned that behavior is accountable by my actions and not inherited or a
learned process. However, I cannot judge you
father. I do not know what made you the way you were. I do
forgive you. So this father's day, I wish that you may see through my
eyes and understand how a father can be. BJ Cassady Guthrie,
Oklahoma

BOILED APPLE DUMPLING
Peel, halve and core
5 or 6 apples.
Put desired amount of sugar and cinnamon and a piece of
butter in each apple. Put halves back together and wrap with following
Bisquick Dumpling recipe, forming snowballs.
(Pat out enough dough to
cover 1 apple. Put dough in hand, place apple in dough and work dough around
apple to completely cover and seal it.)
Pierce dough several times with
fork.
Place in large pot of boiling, lightly salted water and boil for
about 45 minutes.
Remove with slotted spoon. Serve hot with milk
and sugar or Nutmeg Sauce.
BISQUICK DUMPLINGS 2 cups Bisquick 3
tbls sugar 2/3 cups milk Mix to form soft dough.
NUTMEG SAUCE 1
cup water 1/4 cup butter 1 tbls. Cornstarch 1 cup sugar 1/2 tsp.
salt 1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
Melt butter in sauce pan and add water. Mix
sugar, salt and cornstarch together and add to pan. Heat slowly over medium
heat stirring constantly until sauce starts to thicken. Add nutmeg and
continue stirring until thick. Remove from heat. Susan from Beavercreek,
Ohio
Chocolate Pie
1-1/2 c. milk (sometimes I use
evaporated milk or 1/2 reg. milk and 1/2 evaporated milk) 3/4 c.
sugar 3 T. flour 1/4 c. cocoa dash of salt 1 t. vanilla 2 egg
yolks-egg whites are used in the meringue
Mix sugar, flour, cocoa and
salt until well blended. Put milk in 1-1/2 qt. sauce pan; stir in dry
ingredients-I find a whisk does a great job. Cook over medium heat,
stirring constantly, until it boils. Beat egg yolks, add a little of the
chocolate mix into the yolks, then pour that into the pan of chocolate
mixture (this "tempers" the eggs so they don't cook up like scrambled eggs!)
Bring to boil again and cook until thickened-doesn't take too long.
Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour into a 9 in. baked pie shell and top
with meringue. If you make the meringue after the chocolate filling is
cooked, press waxed paper or plastic wrap on top of filling so a "skin"
doesn't form.
Meringue: 2 egg whites 1/4 t. cream of tartar 2 T.
sugar for each egg white
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy.
Slowly add sugar, beating all the while, until stiff peaks form (they hold
their shape when the beaters are stopped and lifted out of the
meringue). Immediately spread on the hot filling-already in pie
shell-spreading to the crust edges and sealing. Bake in a 350 degree oven
until browned to your liking. Keep a watch-ovens vary. Let pie cool, then
refrigerate. Connie in TX
**** TODAY'S USELESS FACT
****
Is
there anything I can add to my diet to help prevent insect
bites?
Actually, garlic is a very healthy natural repellent, preventing not only insect bites
but acne and a variety of infections. If you are worried about the smell factor,
odorless garlic tablets/capsules are available. I've also been told that eating
some fresh parsley after the garlic neutralizes the odor.
Drinking a
little tonic water each day will keep the mosquitos off you, because of the
quinine it contains. However I am not sure that's particularly good for
you.
Don't use "Off" or any other chemical toxin on your skin because the
absorption and damage to organs from these chemicals is more than most people
realize -- i.e. the effects can even show up years later as the body's system
deteriorates as a result.
Vitamins B 1, 6, 12 - any of them are natural
repellents. They produce an odor on your skin that insects especially mosquitoes
don't like.
Oh, and don't eat bananas - mosquitos adore their smell

Nothing makes
people go into debt like trying to keep up with people who already are.

LAST CALL Y'ALL
A
mystery-lover takes his place in the theater for opening night, but his seat
is way back in the theater, far from the stage. The man calls an usher over
and whispers, "I just love a good mystery, and I have been anxiously
anticipating the opening of this play. However, in order to carefully follow
the clues and fully enjoy the play, I have to watch a mystery close up. Look
how far away I am! If you can get me a better seat, I'll give you a handsome
tip."
The usher nods and says he will be back shortly. Looking forward to
a large tip, the usher speaks with his co-workers in the box
office, hoping to find some closer tickets. With just three minutes left
until curtain, he finds an unused ticket at the Will Call window and
snatches it up. Returning to the man in the back of the theater, he
whispers, "Follow me."
The usher leads the man down to the second row,
and proudly points out the empty seat right in the middle.
"Thanks so
much," says the theatergoer, "This seat is perfect." He then hands the usher
a quarter.
The usher looks down at the quarter, leans over and whispers,
"The butler did it in the parlor with the
candlestick."
