~~The Seed ~~
A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.
Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together.
He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you.
"The young executives were Shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED.
I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you.
I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO."
One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed.
Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.
Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however... He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to grow.
A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection. Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right.
He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes.
Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!
When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.
Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"
All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front.
Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will
have me fired!"
When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed - Jim told him the story.
The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next Chief Executive Officer! His name is Jim!"
Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed..
"How could he be the new CEO?" the others said.
Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.
All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you.
Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive Officer!"
* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust
* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends
* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness
* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment
* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective
* If you plant h ard work, you will reap success
* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation
* If you plant faith in God, you will reap a harvest
So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later..

The Cookie Thief
The Cookie Thief - by Valerie Cox
Read by Wayne Dyer
A woman was waiting at an airport one night
With several long hours before her flight
She hunted for a book in the airport shop
Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop
She was engrossed in her book but happened to see
That the man beside her as bold as could be
Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between
Which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene
She munched cookies and watched the clock
As this gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock
She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by
Thinking "If I wasn't so nice I'd blacken his eye"
With each cookie she took he took one too
And when only one was left she wondered what he'd do
With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh
He took the last cookie and broke it in half
He offered her half as he ate the other
She snatched it from him and thought "Oh brother
This guy has some nerve and he's also rude
Why he didn't even show any gratitude"
She had never known when she had been so galled
And sighed with relief when her flight was called
She gathered her belongings and headed for the gate
Refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate
She boarded the plane and sank in her seat
Then sought her book which was almost complete
As she reached in her baggage she gasped with surprise
There was her bag of cookies in front of her eyes
"If mine are here" she moaned with despair
"Then the others were his and he tried to share"
"Too late to apologize she realized with grief"
That she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief.

Imagine my surprise...
Last night, I had the most awesomest of surprises ever...So what? It's a double superlative - kiss my grits... :-)
My dear friends Pam and Tim had arranged for us all to get together to discuss final preparations for the big benefit being held at the Rail Station Bar and Grill today on my behalf. The plan was to meet for dinner at LaCasita Restaurant in Columbia Hts so that I could take advantage of my free birthday dinner (my "49th + 1" birthday is next Saturday).
http://magicoftouch2.blogspot.com/2009/10/just-3-days-away.html
Imagine my surprise when Tim and I arrived at LaCasita and I see sitting at the table - amongst the other guests - my dear and sweet grandmother from Florida. Pam and her daughter Malorie came up up with the idea a few weeks back to bring Granny here to Minneapolis as a surprise for me.
Granny has been my dearest and sweetest relative throughout my entire life and - since both my parents and all my siblings have passed away - the only "immediate" family I have left. In her mid 90's, Granny is still a dynamic individual and still very full of life.
I had not seen Granny for more than 12 years now, and even though we keep in touch via phone and writing, the years have kept us physically apart.
How wonderful of Pam and Malorie to arrange to bring Granny up here in time for my benefit tomorrow (and for my "49th + 1" birthday). My dear friends Tim and Carol were also wonderful to be a part of this "secret" arrangement.
This is Granny's first trip ever to the Midwest. Today she will join us for the benefit being held on my behalf at the Rail Station from 1 - 3 PM and then she will also be joining us for BARGO tonight at 8 PM. How awesome is that?
I know it will be so wonderful to spend time with her. She has always been such a special influence in my life.
Thank you guys for such an absolutely wonderful surprise!

Peel a banana
"Enjoy today, Live for tomorrow"
Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it. Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
Cheese
Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
Frying beef
Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up.
For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed.Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.
Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic, at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.
Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yummm!
Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.
Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.
Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.
Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
Newspaper weeds away
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
Broken Glass
Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.
No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.
Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper.
The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.
Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and ... ta da! ... static is gone.
Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car . When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!
Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.
Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs.It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.
Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2 with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!
INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS
The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.)
He told us that he wanted to show us something; he took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material .. I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. Well ... the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free ... that nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box . well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down with it!
He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at l east e very six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How about that!?! Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that. So, I thought I'd share!
Note: I went to my dryer and tested my screen by running water on it. The water ran through a little bit but mostly collected all the water in the mesh screen. I washed it with warm soapy water and a nylon brush and I had it done in 30 seconds Then when I rinsed it .. the water ran right thru the screen! There wasn't any puddling at all! That repairman knew what he was talking about!

The Nicollet Mall Farmers Market
Yesterday when I was downtown at the Nicollet Mall Farmer's Market after my morning chemo treatment, I stopped at the Great Harvest Bread Company stand. After I picked up a few things for Tim and I, I wandered over to a new stand a short ways down the block. The lady was just setting up her goods and offering free samples ("free" is my favorite color of the alphabet). I noticed that the little table tent she had sitting in front of (what looked to be chocolate bars) read "key lime." I LOVE KEY LIME PIE!!!!!
At this very time, this really, really hot guy came and stood next to me (also checking out what she was displaying). Being somewhat distracted by my new "neighbor" (ok, I admit, I was actively "chickinhawking"), I only half noticed that the lady at the stand gave me a small rectangular block from the pile marked "key lime" wrapped in a napkin.
I then proceeded to put the sample in my mouth and began to chew. Suddenly a look of shock came over the lady's face and she suddenly blurted out, "you didn't just eat that did you?"
Well, technically, I had only begun the process of mastication, so "eat" may not have accurately described the extent of the process.
I simply nodded yes, now also aware that the cute guy standing next to me had a somewhat astounded look on his face.
To which she replied, "that is hand soap!"
At this point three things happened -
a) I ceased the already-in-process mastication and proceeded to spit the contents from my mouth (in as delicate a fashion as possible),
2) The really cute "chickin" standing next to me doubled up in laughter (guess I lost any intended brownie points with him in the "intelligence" competition - however, he might consider my entrance in the "suave" competition ["Suave does what theirs does for a lot less"]), and
$) Most importantly, I replied to the lady at the stand, "well, my breath smells nice and clean".
I felt so sorry for the guy standing next to me as I thought he was going to hit the pavement from laughing so hard.
So I did the only logical thing. I said, "I see my job here is done. I will take my leave now. Adieu."
Key lime soap - what a concept!
Now you know from where I get such a "bubbly" personality?
Ya gotta love the Nicollet Mall Farmers Market. :-)

PURE HERBS, LTD.
OCTOBER SPECIALS
10/1/09-10/30/09
“BAD CELLS”
GREASEWOOD,
P.C.-C,
RED CLOVER BLENDED,
SANICLE
& WHOLE APRICOT
Purchase 3 bottles receive the 4th bottle free.
To take advantage of the special, all 3 bottles must be the same product, same size and purchased at the same time.
As is my continued practice, I will order products for my friends at my distributor (wholesale) discount of 20% off the regular retail. The prices listed below ARE the distributor (wholesale) prices.
GREASEWOOD (CHAPARRAL)
This remedy comes from the American Indian Pharmacopoeia (listing of official Indian medicines). Greasewood bush has dark, sticky, resinous-filled leaves and stems. It has the distinct taste of telephone poles or creosote, hence its common name Greasewood Bush.
It performs a very valuable service as a douche for the female system (20 drops of extract to a cup of water). Greasewood is most valuable due to the rising widespread use of commercial antibiotics whose use encourages the growth of many types of fungi (funguses), in the body. Jason Winter's Red Clover Tea Blend employs Greasewood as an agent to dissolve tumors and cancers on the advice of the American Indian. Indeed, of the Indian nations, the Eapoch, Pimas, and Maricopias of the desert southwest have long employed Greasewood to be effective in the following conditions: weight reducing, prostate trouble, skin and stomach cancer, leukemia, cancer, arthritis, warts, chronic backache, bronchitis troubles and to stimulate normal hair growth.
Studies indicate Greasewood may remove L.S.D. residues and prevent acid “flashbacks.”
DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops one to three times per day depending on severity of condition. Two to three bowel movements per day are recommended, when using Chaparral to complete the cleaning process.
DISTRIBUTOR COST (20% savings) 1 oz. - $ 7.50 4 oz. - $ 22.50
P.C.-C
Two prominent American herbalists, Pat Courter and Pat Castro, both, individually, recommended the production of this combination based on observable results. Thus, it bears their initials. The formula itself is the product of those who have gone before and left it as their legacy in the war against "bad cells,” also know by some as "cancer.”
For many years users have sung its praises and recommended its use. It is not a scientific formula. It is the product of desperation and prayer, not science. It is, however, difficult to argue with success, even if "scientists don't have their proof" before they would accept it. In the meantime, thousands perish needlessly for lack of knowledge or alternatives. In that vacuum, P.C.-C steps in to offer hope for desperate conditions.
The action of this formula works strongly to clean and correct the blood and liver functions. P.C.-C cleans, corrects, nourishes healthy cells, strengthens the immune system, oxygenates, dissolves and provides a continuous poison antidote effect. "Bad cells" cannot continue their existence in the presence of such action on the body. (SEE: SHEEP SORREL for more information).
COMBINATION: Burdock, Slippery Elm, Turkey Rhubarb, Sheep Sorrel and Marshmallow Root.
DOSAGE: 80 drops per day to prevent problems. 1 tbsp, 3 times per day, to correct the condition of "bad cells.” Also, an external application to the affected area can be of great assistance in correcting the problem.
Use the procedure, which follows. Apply directly to the skin of the affected area, one after the other:
1. VITAMIN E from 100 to 400 i.u. capsules
2. HERBAL ADJ. (SEE: Herbal Adj.)
3. OIL OF CAJEPUT (SEE: Oil of Cajeput). Then, soak a single layer of cheesecloth or absorbent gauze with P.C.- C. Place the cloth over the area. Lay a piece of plastic sandwich wrap over this, cover with another cloth and fix in place. Leave on overnight, each night, until the area is corrected. In the morning, remove and discard the application (never reuse the application).
Wash the area and allow it to dry. If needed, a daytime application, in the same manner, can be done to speed the healing process.
DISTRIBUTOR COST (20% savings) 1 oz. - $ 10.00 4 oz. - $ 30.00
RED CLOVER BLENDED (JASON WINTER’S TEA)
This combination was made famous by a desperate amateur American herbalist, Jason Winter. Necessity being the mother of invention, he cured himself of cancer. In the process, he developed this herbal combination to do the job. Now many others have used this combination and report similar results and claims for its effectiveness in eliminating bad cells.
The herbal components of the formula perform strongly together as a team to increase each other’s effect over what they produce if taken separately.
Greasewood by itself has a long history of having been used to dissolve ”bad cells” and tumors by the American Indians in the desert southwest.
Red Clover is the prime herbal alterative (regulating herb) of northern American Indians, for counteracting scrofulous (lymphatic) disorders and skin “dis-eases,” and as an antidote for “bad cells.” It is also a specific for the kidneys and thereby, helps with the removal of toxic material from the body.
Buchu is known to be rich in potassium and facilitates the removal of irritating poisonous wastes from the blood and lymph through the kidneys while at the same time immediately soothing any inflammation that might be caused from poisons being eliminated. Buchu provides the spark, which coordinates this highly effective herbal team.
COMBINATION: Red Clover, Greasewood (Chaparral), Buchu.
INTERNAL DOSAGE: 10 to 20 drops daily as a preventative. One teaspoon after meals, to kill and dissolve "bad cells.” In very advanced cases, up to one tablespoon three times per day. The amount taken should be managed in this manner: Give only as much as the body can eliminate daily without nausea or discomfort.
Also, one tablespoon of C.C. E.-W (Cleansing Corrective Extract) per day and one tablespoon of Alfalfa (Multi-vitamin and mineral and protein supplement) three times per day.
When using Red Clover Blended for dissolving “bad cells,” be sure to use in conjunction with a good bowel management program which produces at least two, and preferably three, easy and complete movements per day. To flush out what Red Clover Blended is killing and dissolving to avoid nausea and "sick feelings.” (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, Buckthorn, C.C.E.-W).
EXTERNAL APPLICATION: Work in this manner: Each night, apply Vitamin E from 100 or 400 i.u. capsules (International Unit, a measure of liquid vitamins) to the area as an oxygen extender ("bad cells" and tumors cannot exist in areas of good oxygenation), then apply Oil of Cajeput (decongestant and pain reliever), next, apply Herbal Adj. (increases circulation and pain reliever).
Then, soak a single layer of cheesecloth or absorbent gauze with Red Clover Blended and wrap this around, or place over, the area to be corrected. Cover this with plastic sandwich wrap to form a thermal and moisture barrier and drive the herbs into the area, while pulling poisons out through the skin.
In the morning, remove and discard the application. Wash the area and allow to dry. Then repeat the application procedure for the daytime just as you did for the nighttime. Repeat in this fashion until well.
A debt of gratitude for the formula concept of Red Clover Blended is owed to one of the finest Naturopathic Physicians ever, from Chicago, Illinois U.S.A, Dr. Michael Michaels.
DISTRIBUTOR COST (20% savings) 1 oz. - $ 10.00 4 oz. - $ 30.00
SANICLE
The American herbal practitioner, Jethro Kloss, in his monumental work "Back to Eden," aptly describes Sanicle in this manner: "This is one of the herbs that could be called a cure-all, because it possesses powerful cleansing and healing virtues both internally and externally."
Sanicle's great strength includes its uncanny ability to seek out and find anything, which needs correcting and works on that area first which needs it most. It also deserves distinction as a "thinking herb." In other words, if you've got it, Sanicle will find it and fix it, whether it is in the reproductive organs, brain, nervous system, lungs, throat, urinary system or elsewhere. Sanicle is a bulldozer and builder.
There may be temporary discomfort when Sanicle contacts an unwanted obstruction, but it is your reassurance that Sanicle has scored a direct hit. Skin disorders, tumors (also brain tumors), and all manner of morbid material are resolved by Sanicle.
Prolapsis of the uterus (fallen uterus), melancholy (due to toxins), thin mother's milk, morning sickness, diabetes, bee stings, and intermittent fever indicate general categories of its ubiquitous (seemingly everywhere) application.
DOSAGE: 40 drops two to three times per day. If brain tumor, also apply to entire scalp, back to neck and temples. Rub one tablespoon into the scalp at night and wear a shower cap. Wash the area in the morning. During day rub Herbal Adjustment into scalp three times per day.
DISTRIBUTOR COST (20% savings) 1 oz. - $ 9.25 4 oz. - $ 27.75
WHOLE APRICOT
Dr. Ernest J. Krebs, a noted authority on cancer, has often stated that if a person eats six to twelve apricot kernels per day, they will never have to worry about cancer. He recommends peach or cherry kernels, as well. Contained within these kernels is a very small amount of a substance called nitriloside amygdaline (laetrile, Vitamin B-17). It goes directly to a cancer cell, stings it, and kills it. This is especially true of glandular cancers, such as the prostate and other glands. The same is true for moles on the skin and internal tumors.
For moles, take Whole Apricot internally and also apply Whole Apricot and Oil of Cajeput, three times per day, to the area until corrected. There is no fear necessary for this extremely small amount of cyanide; remember Vitamin B-12 is also a cyanide compound and is absolutely essential to life or a person develops a deadly disease known as pernicious anemia.
Head lettuce, as a further example, contains a very small amount of opium. Although it is not recommended, head lettuce does not cause a person to go unconscious or stupefied, and head lettuce is still eaten.
Once you taste apricot kernels, you can recognize an accentuated almond taste. That is the part that kills the cancer cells. It is also present in almonds, but to a much lesser extent. You may find your body is hungry for this taste and the truly wonderful effect it has. The safe rule is not to eat any more apricot kernels than you would of the apricot fruit during a day.
DOSAGE: 10 to 20 drops per day, as a daily maintenance. 40 drops to one tablespoon three times per day, if cancer in the body. Keep the bowels open to expel the dead, nauseating cells and poisons with a good bowel program which produces two, and preferably three, bowel movements per day. (See: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W or Buckthorn). If necessary to quickly relieve the nausea of this regimen, take, as needed, 10 to 40 drops of a poison antidote such as Black Cohosh or Virginia Snake Root. Additionally, an enema can be taken. Usually, within 10 minutes of taking the enema you will feel better. If necessary, repeat the enema.

better than a flu shot
A little rain can straighten a flower stem. A little LOVE can change a life. Max Lucado
Better than a Flu Shot!
Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all.
One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea. As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cute glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom!
When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.
'Miss Beatrice', he said, 'I wonder if you would tell me about this?' pointing to the bowl.
'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter.
If you don't send this to five GOOD friends there will be five fewer people smiling in the world.

Ponder these
If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you just need a friend, I'll be there just being me.
Ponder These
1. Does a clean house indicate that there is a broken computer in it?
2. Why is it that no matter what color of bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
3. Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
4. Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
5. On electric toasters, why do they engrave the message "oneslice"? How many pieces of bread do they think people are really gonna try to stuff in that slot?
6. Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
7. Why is it that no plastic garbage bag will open from the end you first try?
8. How do those dead bugs get into those closed light fixtures?
9. Considering all the lint you get in your dryer, if you kept drying your clothes would they eventually just disappear?
10. When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart than apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" When, it isn't all right .
11. Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
12. Is it true that the only difference between a yard sale and a trash pickup is how close to the road the stuff is placed?
13. In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
14. How come we never hear father-in-law jokes?
15. If at first you don't succeed, shouldn't you try doing it like your wife told you to do it?
16. The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends, if they're okay, then it's you.

Benefit on Saturday, Oct. 17th
My dear friends Tim and Pam have done a lot of work putting together a benefit on my behalf for week after next. It will be held at the Rail Station Bar and Grill in South Minneapolis.
Here is a copy of the letter that has been sent out to businesses seeking donations for the raffle and silent auctions as well as a copy of the poster (click on the image of the poster in order to enlarge it for easier reading).
If you are interested in attending or know of anyone we can contact for donations of prizes, please do not hesitate to contact Pam. She and my roommate Tim have been working very hard to make this a success.

Dear :
On October 17, 2009 the Rail Station Bar and Grill in South Minneapolis will be hosting a benefit for my roommate, Mr. James (Jim) McPherson. Jim has been fighting lung cancer for several years and the medical expenses have become overwhelming.
As a member of the benefit committee, I am asking businesses if they are able to make a donation for the silent auction. Any contribution is welcomed. If you are able to display the poster it would be greatly appreciated.
I thank you for your time and generosity.
Sincerely,
Timothy J. Korsmoe

Jack
Jack
Read This Slowly
Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down: 73 in a 55 zone. Fourth time in as many months. How could a guy get caught so often?
When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour, Jack pulled over, but only partially. Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard.. Maybe some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror. The cop was stepping out of his car, the big pad in hand.
Bob? Bob from Church? Jack sunk farther into his trench coat. This was worse than the coming ticket. A cop catching a guy from his own church. A guy who happened to be a little eager to get home after a long day at the office. A guy he was about to play golf with tomorrow.
Jumping out of the car, he approached a man he saw every Sunday, a man he'd never seen in uniform.
'Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you like this.'
'Hello, Jack.' No smile.
'Guess you caught me red-handed in a rush to see my wife and kids..'
'Yeah, I guess.' Bob seemed uncertain.
Good. 'I've seen some long days at the office lately. I'm afraid I bent the rules a bit -just this once.'
Jack toed at a pebble on the pavement. ' Diane said something about roast beef and potatoes tonight. Know what I mean?' 'I know what you mean.. I also know that you
have a reputation in our precinct .' Ouch. This was not going in the right direction. Time to change tactics.
'What'd you clock me at?'
'Seventy. Would you sit back in your car please?'
'Now wait a minute here, Bob. I checked as soon as I saw you. I was barely nudging 65.' The lie seemed to come easier with every ticket.
'Please, Jack, in the car'
Flustered, Jack hunched himself through the still-open door. Slamming it shut, he stared at the dashboard. He was in no rush to open the window.
The minutes ticked by. Bob scribbled away on the pad.
Why hadn't he asked for a driver's license?
Whatever the reason, it would be a month of Sundays before Jack ever sat near this cop again. A tap on the door jerked his head to the left. There was Bob, a folded paper in hand Jack rolled down the window a mere two inches, just enough room for Bob to pass him the slip.
'Thanks.' Jack could not quite keep the sneer out of his voice.
Bob returned to his police car without a word. Jack watched his retreat in the mirror. Jack unfolded the sheet of paper. How much was this one going to cost?
Wait a minute. What was this? Some kind of joke?
Certainly not a ticket. Jack began to read:
'Dear Jack, Once upon a time I had a daughter. She was six when killed by a car. You guessed it- a speeding driver. A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free. Free to hug his daughters, all three of them. I only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until Heaven before I can ever hug her again.
A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man. A thousand times I thought I had. Maybe I did, but I need to do it again. Even now. Pray for me. And be careful, Jack, my son is all I have left.'
'Bob' Jack turned around in time to see Bob's car pull away and head down the road.. Jack watched until it disappeared.
A full 15 minutes later, he too, pulled away and drove slowly home, praying for forgiveness and hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived.
Life is precious. Handle with care. This is an important message; please pass it along to your friends. Drive safely and carefully. Remember, cars are not the only things
recalled by their maker.
Funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the sanctity of life, people think twice
about sharing.
Funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for
sending it to them.
Pass this on, you might save a life. Maybe not, but we'll never know if we don't try.
May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. 'I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.'
