Neighborly KindnessA dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. fortu-
nately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.
incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, “hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?”
The lawyer replied, “of course, how much was the roast?”“$7.98.” said the butcher.A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. At-
tached to it was an invoice that read: legal Consultation service: $150
“is your mother home?” the salesman asked the small boy.“yeah, she’s home,” the boy said, scooting over to let him past.The salesman rang the doorbell, got no response, knocked once, then
again. still no one came to the door. turning to the boy, the fellow said, “i thought you said your mother was home!?”
The kid replied, “she is; but this isn’t where i live.”
Empowering Thoughts
Statistics
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. you do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. you realize that you control your own destiny. ~ Albert Ellis
Too often we forget that the great men of faith reached the heights they did only by going through the depths. ~ Os Guinness
Losing is a learning experience. it teaches you humility. it teaches you to work harder. it’s also a powerful motivator. ~ Yogi Berra In this world everything changes except good deeds and bad deeds; these follow you as the shadow follows the body. ~ Ruth Benedict
Birth Order Makes A Difference
Worries:1st baby: At the first sign of distress: a whimper, a frown—you pick up the baby.2nd baby: you pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.3rd baby: you teach your three-year- old how to rewind the mechanical swing.

Your True ColorsAn artist is someone who produces things that people don’t need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them. ~ Andy Warhol
Job Application Bloopers here’s a list of silly mistakes people have made while writing their job applications:1. “here are my qualifications for you to overlook.”2. “wholly responsible for two (2) failed financial
institutions.” 3. “instrumental in ruining an entire midwest chain
operation.” (Perhaps he meant running.)4. “note: Please don’t misconstrue my 14 jobs as job-
hopping. i have never quit a job.”

A Colonel’s Order
Happiness is a Journey
Good Friends
Important Memo
i Believe... that my best friend and i can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
we convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are.
After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. we will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.
we tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. if not now, when?
your life will always be filled with challenges. it's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
one of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred d. souza. he said, "for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid.
then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
to make things easier for all of us please notice this important notice About notices.

The letter “e”
A colonel issued the following directive to his executive officers:Tomorrow evening at approximately 2000 hours Halley’s Comet will be visible in this area; an event which occurs only every 75 years. Have the men fall out in the battalion area in fatigues, and I will explain this rare phenomenon to them. In case of rain, we will not be able to see anything, so assemble the men in the theater and I will show them films of it.

farmer Joe decided to take the trucking company to court. The company’s fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe. “didn’t you say, at the scene of the accident, ‘i’m fine’?” farmer Joe responded, “well, i’ll tell you what happened. i had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the.......”
“i didn’t ask for any details, just answer the question. did you not say, at the scene of the accident, ‘i’m fine!’”
farmer Joe said, “well, i had just got Bessie into the trailer and i was driving down the road...”
The lawyer interrupted again, “Judge, i am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Patrolman that he was fine. now weeks after he is trying to sue my client. Please tell him to simply answer the question.” The judge denied, he was now interested in hearing about Bessie.
“As i was saying, i had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when a semi ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. i was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. i was hurting real bad and didn’t want to move. how-ever, i could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. i could hear she was in terrible shape. A highway Patrolman came on the scene. After he looked at her he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. The Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. he said, “your mule was in such bad shape i had to shoot her - how are you feeling?”

Language Woes
when Clairol presented its new curling iron in germany, it quickly real-ized the need for a bit more research.
despite being popular in the united states, Clairol’s mist stick curling iron was a dud in germany, and it wasn’t until the hair products company translated “mist” into german that executives figured out why.
“mist” means “manure,” and few german women were looking for a manure stick for their long locks.
Clairol wasn’t alone in that problem; rolls-royce was forced to change the name of its silver mist to silver shadow before unveiling the car to germans, and liquor producer irish mist also had difficulty breaking in to the german market.

• if you stretch a standard slinky out flat it measures 87 feet long. • There are six ords in the english language with the letter combination “uu.”
muumuu, vacuum, continuum, duumvirate, duumvir and residuum. • The “Calabash” pipe, most often associated with sherlock holmes, was not used
by him until william gillette (an American) portrayed holmes onstage. gil-lette needed a pipe he could keep in his mouth while he spoke his lines.
• most Americans’ car horns beep in the key of f. • dirty harry’s badge number is 2211. • The pupil of an octopus’ eye is rectangular. • The shortest french word with all five vowels is “oiseau” meaning bird. • Camel’s milk does not curdle. • The ball on top of a flagpole is called the truck.
Make Lemonade Fizzy DrinkThere’s a lot of people out there that like drinking fizzy drinks, so why not
do a fun science experiment that leaves you with your own lemon soda to drink afterwards!
make your own lemonade soft drink with this fun experiment for kids. What you’ll need:•Lemon•Drinkingglass•Water•1teaspoonofbakingsoda•SomesugartomakeitsweetInstructions:1. squeeze as much of the juice from the lemon as you can into the glass.2. Pour in an equal amount of water as lemon juice.3. stir in the teaspoon of baking soda.4. give the mixture a taste and add in some sugar if you think it needs to be sweeter. What’s happening?
The mixture you created should go bubbly and taste like a lemonade, soda, fizzy drink, if you added some sugar it might even taste like a lemon fla-voured soft drink you’ve bought at a store. The bubbles that form when you add the baking soda to the lemon mixture are carbon dioxide (Co2), these are the same bubbles you’ll find in proper fizzy drinks. of course they add a few other flavored sweeteners but it’s not much different to what you made. if you are wondering how the carbon dioxide bubbles formed, it was because you created a chemical reaction when you added the lemon (an acid) to the baking soda (a base).

Star Wars
It is clear the future holds great opportunities. it also holds pitfalls. The trick will be to avoid the pit-falls, seize the opportunities, and get back home by six o’clock. ~ Woody Allen
I Have Learned i’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about me, i must live so that no one will believe it. ~ Age 39
Everything I’ve ever learned, I learned from Star Wars• never, never, never underestimate the power of
the dark side • you will find many of the truths we cling to de-
pend greatly on our own point of view • Just when you think there is no more hope, alas,
there is one more. • never judge a “piece of junk” spaceship from the
outside. more often than not, “she’s got it where it counts.”
• your eyes deceive you, don’t trust them. • The Bad guys can’t hit the broad side of a barn. • But, “only imperial storm troopers are so precise” • Beware of judging someone else’s beliefs as just
a “hokey religion.” you just may end up eating those words.

Office Pranksif somebody falls asleep in a meeting, have everyone else leave the room.
Then collect a group of total strangers, right off the street, and have them sit around the sleeping person until he wakes up. Then have one of them say to him, “Bob, your plan is very, very risky. however, you’ve given us no choice but to try it. i only hope, for your sake, that you know what you’re getting yourself into.” Then they should file quietly out of the room.

Weird Traffic Laws
Strange traffic laws from around the driving world.
sometimes, what you’re wearing —or not— while driving can earn you a fine. in Alabama, it is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded or barefoot while operating a vehicle. women can’t wear a housecoat while behind the wheel in California. driving while not wearing shoes is prohibited in virginia. And, in Thailand, you must wear a shirt while driving a car.

Redundant Again
An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; i could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.
he calmly came over to me, i gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and i let him out.

The lawyer interrupted again, “Judge, i am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Patrolman that he was fine. now weeks after he is trying to sue my client. Please tell him to simply answer the question.” The judge denied, he was now interested in hearing about Bessie.
“As i was saying, i had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when a semi ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. i was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. i was hurting real bad and didn’t want to move. how-ever, i could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. i could hear she was in terrible shape. A highway Patrolman came on the scene. After he looked at her he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. The Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. he said, “your mule was in such bad shape i had to shoot her - how are you feeling?”

Language Woes
when Clairol presented its new curling iron in germany, it quickly real-ized the need for a bit more research.
despite being popular in the united states, Clairol’s mist stick curling iron was a dud in germany, and it wasn’t until the hair products company translated “mist” into german that executives figured out why.
“mist” means “manure,” and few german women were looking for a manure stick for their long locks.
Clairol wasn’t alone in that problem; rolls-royce was forced to change the name of its silver mist to silver shadow before unveiling the car to germans, and liquor producer irish mist also had difficulty breaking in to the german market.

Science Experiment
• if you stretch a standard slinky out flat it measures 87 feet long. • There are six ords in the english language with the letter combination “uu.”
muumuu, vacuum, continuum, duumvirate, duumvir and residuum. • The “Calabash” pipe, most often associated with sherlock holmes, was not used
by him until william gillette (an American) portrayed holmes onstage. gil-lette needed a pipe he could keep in his mouth while he spoke his lines.
• most Americans’ car horns beep in the key of f. • dirty harry’s badge number is 2211. • The pupil of an octopus’ eye is rectangular. • The shortest french word with all five vowels is “oiseau” meaning bird. • Camel’s milk does not curdle. • The ball on top of a flagpole is called the truck.
Make Lemonade Fizzy DrinkThere’s a lot of people out there that like drinking fizzy drinks, so why not
do a fun science experiment that leaves you with your own lemon soda to drink afterwards!
make your own lemonade soft drink with this fun experiment for kids. What you’ll need:•Lemon•Drinkingglass•Water•1teaspoonofbakingsoda•SomesugartomakeitsweetInstructions:1. squeeze as much of the juice from the lemon as you can into the glass.2. Pour in an equal amount of water as lemon juice.3. stir in the teaspoon of baking soda.4. give the mixture a taste and add in some sugar if you think it needs to be sweeter. What’s happening?
The mixture you created should go bubbly and taste like a lemonade, soda, fizzy drink, if you added some sugar it might even taste like a lemon fla-voured soft drink you’ve bought at a store. The bubbles that form when you add the baking soda to the lemon mixture are carbon dioxide (Co2), these are the same bubbles you’ll find in proper fizzy drinks. of course they add a few other flavored sweeteners but it’s not much different to what you made. if you are wondering how the carbon dioxide bubbles formed, it was because you created a chemical reaction when you added the lemon (an acid) to the baking soda (a base).

Celebrity Quotes
Star Wars
It is clear the future holds great opportunities. it also holds pitfalls. The trick will be to avoid the pit-falls, seize the opportunities, and get back home by six o’clock. ~ Woody Allen
I Have Learned i’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about me, i must live so that no one will believe it. ~ Age 39
Everything I’ve ever learned, I learned from Star Wars• never, never, never underestimate the power of
the dark side • you will find many of the truths we cling to de-
pend greatly on our own point of view • Just when you think there is no more hope, alas,
there is one more. • never judge a “piece of junk” spaceship from the
outside. more often than not, “she’s got it where it counts.”
• your eyes deceive you, don’t trust them. • The Bad guys can’t hit the broad side of a barn. • But, “only imperial storm troopers are so precise” • Beware of judging someone else’s beliefs as just
a “hokey religion.” you just may end up eating those words.

A Fresh Perspective
Office Pranksif somebody falls asleep in a meeting, have everyone else leave the room.
Then collect a group of total strangers, right off the street, and have them sit around the sleeping person until he wakes up. Then have one of them say to him, “Bob, your plan is very, very risky. however, you’ve given us no choice but to try it. i only hope, for your sake, that you know what you’re getting yourself into.” Then they should file quietly out of the room.

Weird Traffic Laws
Strange traffic laws from around the driving world.
sometimes, what you’re wearing —or not— while driving can earn you a fine. in Alabama, it is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded or barefoot while operating a vehicle. women can’t wear a housecoat while behind the wheel in California. driving while not wearing shoes is prohibited in virginia. And, in Thailand, you must wear a shirt while driving a car.

Redundant Again
An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; i could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.
he calmly came over to me, i gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and i let him out.

Neighborly KindnessA dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. fortu-
nately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.
incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, “hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?”
The lawyer replied, “of course, how much was the roast?”“$7.98.” said the butcher.A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. At-
tached to it was an invoice that read: legal Consultation service: $150
“is your mother home?” the salesman asked the small boy.“yeah, she’s home,” the boy said, scooting over to let him past.The salesman rang the doorbell, got no response, knocked once, then
again. still no one came to the door. turning to the boy, the fellow said, “i thought you said your mother was home!?”
The kid replied, “she is; but this isn’t where i live.”
Empowering Thoughts
Statistics
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. you do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. you realize that you control your own destiny. ~ Albert Ellis
Too often we forget that the great men of faith reached the heights they did only by going through the depths. ~ Os Guinness
Losing is a learning experience. it teaches you humility. it teaches you to work harder. it’s also a powerful motivator. ~ Yogi Berra In this world everything changes except good deeds and bad deeds; these follow you as the shadow follows the body. ~ Ruth Benedict
Birth Order Makes A Difference
Worries:1st baby: At the first sign of distress: a whimper, a frown—you pick up the baby.2nd baby: you pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.3rd baby: you teach your three-year- old how to rewind the mechanical swing.

Job Application Bloopers here’s a list of silly mistakes people have made while writing their job applications:1. “here are my qualifications for you to overlook.”2. “wholly responsible for two (2) failed financial
institutions.” 3. “instrumental in ruining an entire midwest chain
operation.” (Perhaps he meant running.)4. “note: Please don’t misconstrue my 14 jobs as job-
hopping. i have never quit a job.”
