MONDAY JUNE 26,2006


THOUGHT FOR TODAY: I married my wife for her looks...
but not the ones she's been giving me lately!


An Elderly couple were celebrating their sixtieth anniversary.  The
couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to
their old neighborhood after they retired.
Holding hands they walked back to their old school.   It was not
locked, so they entered and found the old desk they'd shared, where
Andy had carved," I love you, Sally."

On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car,
practically landing at their feet.  Sally quickly picked it up, but
not sure what to do with it, they took it home.  There, she counted
the money -- fifty-thousand dollars.

Andy said, "We've got to give it back."
Sally said, "Finders keepers." She put the money back in the bag and
hid it in their attic.
 
The next day, two FBI men were canvassing the neighborhood looking
for the money and knocked on the door.
 
"Pardon me, but did either of you find a bag that fell out of an
armored car yesterday?"
 
Sally said, "No."
 
Andy said, "She's lying.  She hid it up in the attic."
 
Sally said, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile."
 
The agents turn to Andy and began to question him.
 
One says:  "Tell us the story from the beginning."
 
Andy said, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school
yesterday . . "
 
The first FBI guy turns to his partner and says, "We're outta here

A man goes to see the Rabbi.

"Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I
have to talk to you about it."

The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?"

The man replied, "My wife is poisoning me."

The Rabbi, very surprised by this asks, "How
can that be?"

The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain
she's poisoning me, what should I do?"

The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me
talk to her. I'll see what I can find out and I'll
let you know.

A week later, the Rabbi calls the man and says,
"Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on
the phone for three hours. Do you want to hear
my advice?"

The man anxiously says, "Yes. YES!"

"Take the poison," says the Rabbi.

Bob Knight, after his team had been sent home from the tournament,
began considering his career, his future, and, as his thoughts turned
that direction, the afterlife. So he contacted his local minister to
discuss the issue.
"Reverend, will I be able to coach basketball in Heaven?" he
inquired.
Now, of course, his minister didn't want to give a glib answer, so
he told Bobby that he wanted to pray for a while and ask for some divine
inspiration before responding to his question.
After a week of prayer, the minister called the coach into his
study, and asked him to take a seat. "Robert," he said, "I have some
good news for you, and some bad news."
"What's the good news?", asked Coach Knight.
"Well, the good news is that yes, you will be able to coach
basketball in Heaven," replied the minister.
"And the bad news?" asked coach Knight (grimacing, probably having
heard jokes like this before).
"Well, Bob," responded the minister, "you'll be coaching the
visiting team."

A park ranger in the Everglades was making his rounds a  
couple of summers ago when a woman came bolting out of  
the weeds right in front of his truck. She seemed frantic  
and he finally got her calm enough to say that her five-  
year-old son was sitting on the back of an alligator.  
 
Now the ranger was frantic. Running in the direction she  
was pointing he found the lad astride a twelve foot male  
alligator which was trying to relieve itself of its load  
by twisting and snapping. As the brave ranger moved in he  
tried to console the mother by saying, "I think I can grab  
the boy and move away before the gator moves. Be ready to  
grab your son. I may have to shoot the gator."  
 
To which the lady replies "Good Heavens, no! Don't shoot  
him. I just wanted you to make him hold still for a minute  
so I could take my son's picture on his back."

My wife asked me to help one of our neighbors, a young mother whose
sailor husband was at sea. Her car had to have a freeze plug replaced,
a job that took two days. Then I discovered that the battery was dead,
and the starter was shot, so I fixed those too.

Days later, I proudly handed the woman her keys saying, "Now your
car is good for many more miles."

"Thanks," she said. "All I care is that it runs long enough to
make it to the dealer. I'm trading it in tomorrow."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was talking to someone the other day about April's home town of
Piney Flats, Tennessee.

I said, "The town's built on a one-way street. It's so small,
that if you pass it by mistake, you have to go clear around the world to
get back to it again."

A young woman who was worried about her habit of biting her fingernails
down to the quick was advised by a friend to take up yoga. She did, and
soon her fingernails were growing normally.

Her friend asked her if yoga had totally cured her nervousness.
"No," she replied, "but now I can reach my toe-nails so I bite them
instead."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was this party in the woods and all of a sudden there was a
downpour of thunder and rain. These two young guys ran for about 10
minutes in the pouring rain, finally reaching their car just as the rain
let up. They jumped in the car, started it up and headed down the road,
laughing and, of course, still drinking one beer after the other. All of
a sudden, an old Indian man's face appeared in the passenger window and
tapped lightly on the window! The passenger screamed, "Look at my
window!!! There's an old Indian guy's face there!" This old Indian man
kept knocking, so the driver said, "Well open the window a little and
ask him what he wants!" So the passenger rolled his window down and
says, "What do you want???" The old Indian softly replied, "You have any
tobacco?" The passenger, terrified, looked at the driver and said, "He
wants tobacco!" The driver replies, "Well, offer him a cigarette!
HURRY!!" So he fumbles around with the pack and hands the old man a
cigarette and yells, "Step on it!", rolling up the window in terror. Now
going about 80 miles an hour, they calm down and they start laughing
again, and the passenger says, "What do you think of that?" The driver
says, "I don't know...how can that be? I'm going pretty fast!" Then all
of a sudden AGAIN there is a knock on the window and there is the old
Indian man again. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, there he is again!", the passenger
yells. "Well, see what he wants now!" yells back the driver. He rolls
down the window a little ways and shakily says, "Yes?" "Do you have a
light?" the old Indian quietly asks. The passenger throws a lighter out
the window at him and rolls up the window and yells, "STEP ON IT!" They
are now going about 100 miles an hour and still guzzling beer, trying to
forget what they had just seen and heard, when all of a sudden again,
there is more knocking! "Oh NOOOOO! HE'S BACK!" He rolls down the window
and screams out, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" in stark fear. The old man gently
replies, "You want some help getting out of the mud?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems that a young man volunteered for military service during World
War II. He had such a high aptitude for aviation that he was sent right
to Pensacola skipping boot camp.

The very first day at Pensacola he solos and is the best flier on the
base. All they could do was give him his gold wings and assign him
immediately to an aircraft carrier in the Pacific.

On his first day aboard he took off and single-handedly shot down 6
Japanese Zeroes. Then climbing up to 20,000 ft. he found 9 more
Japanese planes and shot them all down, too.

Noting that his fuel was getting low, he descended, circled the carrier
and came in for a perfect landing on the deck. He threw back the
canopy, climbed out and jogged over to the captain. Saluting smartly he
said, "Well sir, how did I do on my very first day?"

The captain turned around, bowed, and replied, "You make one velly
impoltant mistake!"

A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day.

The Russian said, "We were the first in space!"

The American said, "We were the first on the moon!"

The Blonde said, "So what, we're going to be the first on the sun!"

The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads.

"You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn up!" said the
Russian.

To which the Blonde replied, "We're not stupid, you know. We're going at
night!"

I was calling the Internal Revenue Service to discuss a matter on behalf of a client with my client on the line, too. When we were being transferred from one representative to a "specialist" there was music on hold in the background. It was the "Waltz of the Flowers" by Tchaikovsky.

I had to comment to my client about the appropriateness of IRS playing music from "The Nutcracker".

One October my wife and I spent a vacation on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. We were eager to visit the rain forests near the coast, but we heard that snow slides had made some of the roads impassable. Although apprehensive about the conditions we might run into, we drove on. Sure enough, we had gone only a short way up the High Rain Forest Road when we saw a sign: "Ice 10 miles."

Five miles farther on there was another: "Ice 5 miles."

The next one was: "Ice 1/2 mile." We practically crept that half-mile.

Then we came to the last sign. It was outside a small grocery store, and it read: "Ice 75 cents." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An American manufacturer is showing his machine factory to a potential customer from Albania. At noon, when the lunch whistle blows, two thousand men and women immediately stop work and leave the building.

"Your workers, they're escaping!" cries the visitor. "You've got to stop them."

"Don't worry, they'll be back," says the American. And indeed, at exactly one o'clock the whistle blows again, and all the workers return from their break.

When the tour is over, the manufacturer turns to his guest and says, "Well, now, which of these machines would you like to order?"

"Forget the machines," says the visitor. "How much do you want for that whistle?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day every month our local supermarket gives senior citizens a ten-percent discount on their purchases. On that day the line-ups can be long and slow. One day the line seemed slower than usual, and the man ahead of me was not very happy when he reached the checkout. When the cashier asked him if he was a senior citizen, the man replied, "Well, I wasn't when I got in line, but I am now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone jumped to pick the phone up when it rang. My brother was calling to announce the birth of his first child. My parents and I rushed to the hospital and met Christopher outside the maternity ward. "You've got to see the new baby!" he gushed. "He's gorgeous!" At the entrance to the nursery, Christopher stopped to read the notice on the door. His face fell. "Only you can go in, Mom and Dad," he said, crestfallen. "I have to stay out here. The sign says PARENTS ONLY ADMITTED."

My father roared with laughter. "You are the parent!" he told the new father. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My husband and I attended a pre-election address by a prominent senator. When he ended his speech, an ardent admirer thanked the guest of honor profusely and presented him with a hand-knit sweater, which the senator promptly tried on. At this, my husband leaned over to me and said sotto voce, "This is the first time I've seen a politician pull the wool over his own eyes."

George Raft acquired and disposed of about ten million dollars in the course of his career. "Part of the loot went for gambling," he later explained, "part for horses, and part for women. The rest I spent foolishly."

A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd. While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar.

So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit.

When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."

Prednisolone may reduce miscarriage risk  

LIVERPOOL, England, -- British scientists have found that  
the steroid prednisolone can reduce the risk of miscarriage.  
The study by the University of Liverpool says prednisolone  
reduces the numbers of a type of cell known to play a role  
before and during early pregnancy. The findings may help  
treat a condition for which no satisfactory treatment cur-  
rently exists. The study's lead author Siobhan Quenby told  
the conference of the European Society of Human Reproduc-  
tion and Embryology in Copenhagen, "A randomized controlled  
trial of prednisolone for the prevention of miscarriage is  
urgently needed and I am in the process of setting one up."  
But Quenby warned her research is still at an early stage  
and that she did not want women to be given false hopes.   

AMA members attack 'Bo-taxes'  

CHICAGO, -- The American Medical Association says plans by  
some states to tax cosmetic procedures like Botox injec-  
tions would set a troubling taxing precedent. A committee-  
adopted resolution at the association's convention in  
Chicago says such "Bo-taxes" would lead to a "taxation of  
additional medical procedures," the Chicago Sun-Times  
reported. The report said nine states want such taxes as  
a new source of revenue. According to the American Society  
of Plastic Surgeons, people in the United States spent $8.4  
billion on 9.2 million cosmetic surgery procedures last  
year. Among those states considering the issue, Illinois  
had proposed a 6 percent cosmetic tax to fund stem cell  
research. The proposal stalled in the Legislature's spring  
session, but supporters plan to resurrect the initiative.  
New Jersey is the only state to pass a cosmetic tax, used  
to reimburse hospitals for charity care. But those opposed  
to the tax says the state's revenues from the tax have  
fallen 75 percent short of expectations.   

Some scientists say pill is not abortion  

NORFOLK, Va., -- Some U.S. scientists refute claims of  
abortion-rights opponents that use of the so-called morn-  
ing-after pill is the same as abortion. Abortion-rights  
opponents say the pills prevent the implantation of a  
fertilized egg in the womb and thus destroy an early  
embryo. They are joined by some pharmacists who refuse to  
dispense emergency contraception on moral grounds, the  
Chicago Times reported. But the scientists say the pills  
work mainly by blocking the release of an egg from the  
woman's ovary, and so no embryo is formed. "The pervasive  
myth out there is that emergency contraception is an  
abortifacient," said Dr. David Archer at the Contraceptive  
Research and Development Program of Eastern Virginia  
Medical School in Norfolk. He said emergency contraception  
generally doesn't work if taken after a woman has ovulated.  
On the other hand, no one can prove that the pill doesn't  
interfere with implantation, the Tribune said. The medical  
establishment including the National Institutes of Health,  
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the American  
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says emergency  
contraceptives prevent pregnancy. Abortifacients such as  
RU-486 terminate pregnancies.

"A SMALL RAGGEDY BIBLE"
 
One day while visiting my father
He said he had something for me to see
He pulled out a small raggedy Bible
Then placed it on the table near to me.
 
"There's a story behind this Bible"
"That I've carried for many years."
"I figured it was time you knew about it."
His eyes began to fill with tears.
 
"It was given to me by a friend"
"Aboard ship in World War two."
That was a long time ago,
Before your mother and I had you.
 
"A buddy, named Joe, gave me this Bible"
"When our ship we started to board"
"He said: Before this war is over,"
"I'll introduce you to my Lord."
 
"I stuck it in my pocket,"
"Not giving it much thought."
"But Joe kept telling me the story,"
"How my salvation, Christ blood had bought."
 
"One day, we were on deck."
"Joe was telling me of God's love."
"Then we heard and saw the planes"
"Descending on us from above."
 
"The planes flew over quickly"
"As they began their attack."
Then before I knew it
Joe had thrown me on my back.
 
"As the bullets started raining"
"He threw himself on me."
"I felt a sharp pain in my chest."
"Then darkness was all I could see."
 
"When I finally opened my eyes,"
"Joe's lifeless body was still there."
"I reached in my pocket for the Bible,"
"Hoping I could find him a prayer."
 
"The bullet that killed my friend,"
"Had been headed straight for my heart."
"If it weren't for him and this small Bible,"
"My body would have been blown apart."
 
"The bullet was lodged in this Bible."
"John 15:13 was right at the bullet's end."
"Greater love hath no man,"
"Than to lay down his life for a friend."
 
"So, you see, my child."
"This story had to be told."
"For I found two friends that day."
"One saved my life, the Other saved my soul."
 
Several years after I heard this story,
I laid my father to rest.
As I lovingly said my good-byes,
I placed that small raggedy Bible upon his chest.

True love`s meaning


In the 1953 movie, The Roman Holiday, Princess Anne embarks on a highly publicized tour of Europian capitals. When she and her royal entourage arrive in Rome, she begins to rebel against her restricted, regimented schedule. One night Anne decides to get 'out and about' away from her normal life, sneaks out of her room, hops into the back of a delivery truck and escapes her luxurious confinement. However, a sedative she was forced to take earlier starts to take effect and the princess is soon fast asleep on a public bench.
    She is found by Joe Bradley, an American newspaper reporter stationed in Rome who takes her  to his apartment. The next morning Joe dashes off to cover the Princess Anne press conference, unaware that she is sleeping on his couch! Once he realizes his good fortune, Joe promises his editor an exclusive interview with the princess with pictures for five grand. Joe Bradley shows her the sites of Rome and he  is initially more interested in a story that fetches him five grand  than the Princess, but begins to fall for Her Highness.
    At the end of the day, through the magic of the nature both are in deep love with each other, and for them the time comes to part forever. Now there is no story for Joe Bradley to supply to his editor. His selfishness to earn five grand at the cost of the public exposure of Princess Anne strangely disappeares. His love for her makes him renounce the five grand.
    Similarly, our true love towards Him, once firmly formed, makes us renounce the worldly aspirations and longings and we end up with the single wish to be with Him only, forever. No love is greater than the love for Him.
                                           -Malladi Venkata Krishnamurthy.

June 23, 2006: Category 5 Records has signed another artist with a well-known, but unnamed artist perhaps signing in a few weeks, according to label head Raymond Termini.

Termini said the label inked Oddis Kohn, a young traditional artist. "Oddis Kohn was here," said Termini in a telephone interview, referring to Kohn being in Nashville. "He moved to town. He went through the paces...We were fortunate enough to sign him." Termini said he was unsure when when a record would be released.

Termini also said he was hoping to ink a deal with another singer for the new label. He did not say who the artist was, but indicated it was a known artist.

The first album from the label will be out from Sammy Kershaw this coming Tuesday. Travis Tritt also has signed with the label and is slated to release an album next year.

5.)  1/4 cup sour half-and-half, or 1/4 cup nonfat sour cream
6.)  1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
7.)  1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
8.)  2 teaspoons granulated sugar
 

Preheat the oven to 350° F.  Put the pie crust into a
9-inch-diameter tart pan with a removable bottom; press the
crust against the fluted edge and trim off any pastry that
extends over the top.
Roll the trimmed dough into a ball; flatten to 1/4 inch and cut
2 or 3 shapes with a cookie cutter. Prick the tart
shell in several places with the tines of a fork.
Put the sliced apples in a large bowl; drizzle them with lemon
juice and toss to mix.  In a small bowl, blend the brown sugar,
sour half-and-half, tapioca, and cinnamon.
Fold the brown sugar mixture into the apples until all
the fruit is coated. Spoon the apples into the tart
shell; arrange the dough shapes on top of the apples.
Sprinkle granulated sugar over the top.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until the apples are tender. 
Cut in 8 equal slices. Serve hot or at room temperature. 
Yield: 1 tart (8 Servings).

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

Is there any truth to the claim that young people are converting to Wicca after reading "Harry Potter" novels?

We need to differentiate between those who convert to Wicca AFTER reading the "Harry Potter" series, and the argument that people convert to Wicca BECAUSE they have read the "Harry Potter" series. Simply stating that one event occurred after another event is insufficient to prove a cause and effect relationship between the two events.

We probably have quite a few people (young and old) who have converted to Wicca after reading the Harry Potter series. Because the dates that they read the Harry Potter books chronologically predate their conversion to Wicca, one could easily say that they converted to Wicca AFTER reading them. This would be factually true. (It would also be factually true to state that they converted to Wicca after having eaten ketchup.)

However, did they convert to Wicca BECAUSE of anything contained in Harry Potter? No. Wicca is a religion, and the Harry Potter series does not address religion at all. People convert to Wicca because of their theological views.

Do people experiment and adopt the use of magic because they read the books? Most likely there are quite a few who have. However, casting spells and using magic simply makes one a
magician or witch; it does not make one a Wiccan.



****A PARTING THOUGHT ****
Good character is like a good meal -- it's usually homemade.
