Good morning people. I had an idea to write a ghost story. Then I got the idea to see if anybody else wanted to help. So if you want to play along here is the way it will work.  I will start the story and continue to a certain point. Then somebody else could pick up where I left off. They then could write as much or as little as they wanted. Then they would leave it at a point where someone else could continue and so on and so on. Sound like fun?   Ok here it goes.

 It was a cold a rainy night on the Northeastern coast of the United States. The kind of cold that gets to your bones. It had been raining for three days. At times it had stormed so hard that all you could see was about five feet in front of you. The thunder was so loud that it hurt your ears and the lightening was so bright that it blinded you with every flash.

 Meanwhile at a dingy little waterfront bar a young man named Billy Acres was finnishing off his tenth rum and coke. Today was a bad  day for Billy. He had just had to bury his wife and daughter who were killed in a boating accident. His life was in shambles and was over as he knew it. He had no idea on what to do next so he paid the seahag looking bartender stiffing her on the tip and staggered out the door into the stormy night.

He wobbled over to the edge of the dock and sat on a piling looking out over the harbor that was awash with foam. As he sat there a million thoughts ran through his head. What to do ,where to go , were just some of the thoughts ran through his mind.

Then off in the distance he heard a sick sounding fog horn and a faint thumping sound that seemed to be getting closer and closer to him....

I first have to give double KUDOS to that brave, brave mother that did it all right and turned a tragedy into a blessing!  She did everything she could so "My friends...a toast to this years Mother of the Year 2008"!  She now has her own mission and I wish her all the best!  YOU GO GIRL!

 
 
What is the difference between girls/woman aged: 
8, 18, 28, 38, 48, 58. 68, and 78 ? 

8-- You take her to bed and tell her a story. 

At 18 -- You tell her a story and take her to bed. 

At 28 -- You don't need to tel l her a story to take her to bed. 

At 38 -- She tells you a story and takes you to bed. 

At 48 -- She tells you a story to avoid going to bed.

At 58 -- You stay in bed to avoid her story. 
 
At 68 -- If you take her to bed, that'll be a story! 

At 78 -- What story??? What bed??? Who the hell are you??? 
Wouldn't you love to say this to someone?

AND REMEMBER: 
Good friends are like stars. 
You don't always see them but you always know they are there. 

BLESSED ARE ALL THE CRACKED PEOPLE.........FOR THEY LET THE LIGHT SHINE THROUGH.......................HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY

I have a confession....

My little convertible was on its last legs....so I traded her in for an SUV. 

Yes, I feel guilty about driving a gas guzzler now.  But, they're so cheap these days they're practically giving them away!  I factored in the extra cost of gas over the next few years, and I still made out in the deal.

Besides, it was getting a little tough squeezing all my stuff, friends, boyfriend, and two dogs in my little two-door.

I promise to still use my eco-friendly grocery bag instead of plastic.  Girl Scout's honor. 

 Sayings of the Jewish Buddhist   

 

 If there is no self, whose arthritis is this? 

 Be here now.  Be someplace else later.  Is that so complicated? 

 Drink tea and nourish life; with the first sip, joy; with the second sip, satisfaction; with the third sip, peace; with the fourth, a Danish. 

 Wherever you go, there you are.  Your luggage is another story. 

 Accept misfortune as a blessing.  Do not wish for perfect health, or a life without problems.  What would you talk about? 

 The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single Oy. 

 There is no escaping karma.  In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited.  And whose fault was that? 

 Zen is not easy.  It takes effort to attain nothingness.  And then what do you have?  Bupkis. 

 The Tao does not speak.  The Tao does not blame.  The Tao does not take sides.  The Tao has no expectations.  The Tao demands nothing of others.  The Tao is not Jewish. 

 Breathe in.  Breathe out.  Breathe in.  Breathe out.  Forget this and attaining Enlightenment will be the least of your problems. 

 Let your mind be as a floating cloud.  Let your stillness be as a wooded glen.  And sit up straight.  You'll never meet the Buddha with such rounded shoulders. 

 Deep inside you are ten thousand flowers. 
Each flower blossoms ten thousand times. 
Each blossom has ten thousand petals. 
You might want to see a specialist. 

 Be aware of your body.  Be aware of your perceptions.  Keep in mind that not every physical sensation is a symptom of a terminal illness. 

 The Torah says, Love your neighbor as yourself. 
The Buddha says, There is no self. 
So, maybe we're off the hook.

I've heard from a few of our viewers that their water tastes funny. These are viewers who live in areas that were flooded during Fay and Ike.

Do any of you have issues with your water?

CAN WE PLEASE GIVE A HURRAH! FOR THE LEDGER FAMILY AND MICHELLE WILLIAMS. THERE WAS NO FIGHTING NO BICKERING! THEY GAVE ALL HIS MONEY TO HIS DAUGHTER FOR HER AND BECAUSE THAT IS THE WAY HEATH WOULD HAVE WANTED IT. I KNOW IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD TO GIVE UP THAT 20 MIL..BUT MAYBE ALL OF US COULD TAKE A LESSON FROM THIS FAMILY!!!!

Heath Ledger's 2-year-old daughter Matilda Rose will inherit the late actor's entire estate, according to Perth, Australia's Sunday Times.

The Dark Knight star -- who died last January of a prescription drug overdose at the age of 28 -- had named his parents and sisters as the beneficiaries in his will.

But the will was made before the birth of his daughter. Some reports speculated that Ledger's ex Michelle Williams would lodge a claim.

But Ledger's father Kim tells Perth's Sunday Times, "There is no claim. Our family has gifted everything to Matilda."

Look back at memorable photos of Heath Ledger and daughter Matilda.

In March, Kim issued a statement: "Matilda is an absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family. They will be taken care of and that's how Heath would want it to be."

Both Williams and Ledger's family recently pledged to contribute an undisclosed amount to a scholarship to help emerging Australian actors and honor the memory of Ledger.

Applications are available online and will be accepted from Oct. 1 to Nov. 28, with the first beneficiary to be announced by mid-February.

SHANNON

Kaley Anthony's mom was spotted today retrieving a newspaper from her yard. Paper boy was badly beaten by protesters who are swarming around the house during the day for taking her side. They were ranting that Kaley's mom shouldn't get the paper, because she's a murderer and doesn't deserve to read.

The latest moron poll showed stupid people ask more stupid questions then smart people do by a margin of 10 - 1

The FEDS take over WAMU and the old CEO on the job for only 3 months gets a $15 million dollar payoff to leave the company. Workers showed up for work this morning, and were sent home with nothing.

A study from Harvard University - taking 5 years and $350,000 in grants - today released a major finding. Men AND Women like Viagra. That's time and money well spent.

Unemployment in America is rising daily. Well we finally found a solution to out Illegal Alien problem. No workie...no tacoee

A team of medical doctors from the New England Journal of Medicine realeased an important finding today. Men who masterbate more then 3 times a day risk getting carpol tunnel in their arms. They came up with alternating arms as a quick cure for this problem.

The Surgeon General says smoking causes cancer. She suggests that no one be allowed to smoke cigarettes because the primary and secondary smoke are killing people. But car, bus, factory, truck, controlled burns, and other pollutants are ok, because she was paid enough by the industries to buy that new yacht she wanted.

That's the Latest news.....Goodnight

This is generally not a popular topic but it is one that we just can't ignore and hope that it goes away. In recent months we have seen various news articles about black bears, gators and snakes showing up in all the wrong place and at the wrong times. I wonder how many people actually stop to consider that it is man's doing that has created this situation.

For years we as humans have thought that we know whats best when it comes to nature and its critters. We have micromanaged many into near extinction and have changed the course of nature itself with our "controlled" hunts, herd thinning, and transplantation of many of our wild creatures all because it was the only way we could continue our endless need for urban sprawl.

Now we are in a situation where we MUST continue to manage nature in a way that is anything but natural. We have engineered a situation where animals that would normally be consumed by natural prey are left to weaking the remaining population by breeding subferrior offspring often in overbreeding to the point of horrific results. That requires us to maintain our diligence and find ways to control populations so that they don't become problems. We have lost our ability to see the "beauty" in nature because we are focused on keeping it in order.

We fool ourselves into thinking that by taking endangered animals out of their natural habitats and confining them in zoo's and selective breeding facilities that we are prolonging their exsistance when in fact we are doing nothing but limiting nature. Our desire to have polar bears, seals, bengal tigers etc for our children to enjoy is denying those same species the ability to evolve and produce new and more wonderful animals. We fail to see the cycle of life as a positive matter and believe that if it is here today then it must be here tomorrow as well. We discount "natural selection" because it plays against our logic and when we do so we in the end hurt ourselves.

No one ever likes death but thats not the point. EVERYTHING MUST DIE at some point if we are to keep moving forward. You would think with the higher intelligence that man possess he would figure out that nature was here long before man and was doing a wonderful job of keeping things in order and nature will be here long after man, rebuilding and reorganizing what man messed up.

No for those of you that might read this and decide I am some "tree hugging, bunny loving" nut case, you could not be further from the truth. I do support "controlled hunts" and managing the animal populations but not because I WANT to but because I understand that we MUST if we are all to survive at this point. We don't live in a perfect world but if we stop our efforts now the animals will not be the only ones to pay the tremendous price. Man will too.

I guess for me it is just one more example of how "superior intelligence" with out common sense has lead us as humans to be really stupid sometimes.

Thoughts?

Ok i just wanted to say hi ! to my friends at fox 35 news channel. I watch your news everu morning before i go to work.

Senate Committee Hearings:

Hawkeye: "All rise and Pledge Obedience, I mean Allegiance to the Honorable state of Florida.  I bring before you B O (WilliamHoward) and S P (insert ANY name of ANY person who is in direct defiance of ANY views, values, or variances in opposition to their own).  We are joined today by Senators ZipitHippy...(Rep.) representing the red state, DaytonaFrank...(Rep.) representing the beach,  Abunai...(Rep.) representing Clermont, and myself, Senate Majority Leader Hawkeye...(Rep.) representing the great city of Tampa.  The B O beatings, I mean proceedings will now come to order.  Please delete it, I mean please be seated.  The highly crazed, I mean highly praised Senator from the red state, please break the Moor, I mean take the floor."

ZipitHippy: "Senator Howard, I have here doctored information, I mean documentation that connects you to known notorious drug dealers, gang members, pimps and prostitutes, and large money embezzlers! What say you to this?!

WilliamHoward: "To become President of this website, I will promise to stop attending my Family Reunions."

Hawkeye: "Governor (insert ANY name of ANY person who is in direct defiance of ANY views, values, or variances in opposition to their own) would you care to respond?"

Governor (insert ANY name of ANY person...etc.): "There's plenty enough room in the dern zoo for Senator Howard and his Family of Gorillas!"

Abunai: "Senator Howard.  Do you care to explain this 30 year gap in your work history?!"

WilliamHoward: "I'm 29."

DaytonaFrank: "Hmmm.  What about this birth certificate issue?!...It says here you weren't even born on this website!...and for me, this is truly disturbing because technically, you shouldn't even be allowed to enter this website!"

WilliamHoward: "Are you posing a question, Senator?"

DaytonaFrank: "no, no...just Hmmm."

Governor (insert ANY name of ANY person...etc.): "I'd like to respond to that remark."

Hawkeye: "Yes?  The hotheaded, I mean aesthetic Governor (insert ANY name of ANY person who is in direct defiance of ANY views, values, or variances in opposition to their own)."

Governor (insert ANY name of ANY person...etc.): "I'd jes like to say, wherever he ding dang came from, be it MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, whatever, I jes think he outta go the heck back and stop amusin', I mean abusin' us good country folk."

(Cheers and Applause reverbate throughout the chambers)

Hawkeye forcefully and repetively bangs his gavel.  "Order!!!  Order I say!  These proceedings..will...come...to order."

DaytonaFrank: "Well, I'd like to pretend to understand, I mean present another plan you put together about the immigration concerns!  Senator Howard, what are you gon' do 'bout all deez m-o-grints?!"

WilliamHoward: "Good question Senator...and I believe I have an even better solution.  For all those immigrants...I plan to send them all back to their respective places of origin...yes, any one of Latin, Asian, Australian, Antarctican, African, and European descent, as we are all the true immigrants of this website. I shall then reboot the system back to the Native American Bloggers.  It just so happens that my wife is Notahoe, I mean Navajo Indian so I'll be staying online to lead this site to a brighter future as their duly sworn President."

(The Senators quickly huddled together to confer...mumbling and grumbling in consternation as the throng of spectators sat in vagitation, I mean agitation.)

Hawkeye: "These proceedings are hereby in adjournment..."

Senator Howard turned to the woman beside him and gave her hand a squeeze of reassurance.  As the top aide to William, she had endured and fought through the hardships of his campaign but the obvious stress of it all had taken its toll.  She grasped at the podium in an attempt to steady herself, but she gradually succumbed to the fainting spell.

Thus, Stand4UrRights had Fell2HisLeft......

I am sad to learn of the passing of Paul Newman.

This guy was a class act through and through-  when you think of real screen legends like   Gable, Bogart, robinson, Cary Grant, Hepburn etc      you will put Newman in that group.

not a "hollyweird" person , he used his money to help others, and made some memorable movies along the way.

Rest In Peace  Paul-you will be sadly missed.

ou can follow these links and open the pdf files from websleuths - picked these up from another blog - should make it easier to read and follow -

"Marriage is when you get to keep your girl and don't have to give her back to her parents" -Eric, six years old

"When somebody's been dating for a while, the boy might propose to the girl. He says to her, 'I'll take you for a whole life, or at least until we have kids and get divorced, but you got to do one particular thing for me.' Then she says yes, but she's wondering what the thing is and whether it's naughty or not. She can't wait to find out." -Anita, nine years old

"You flip a nickel, and heads means you stay with him and tails means you try the next one." -Kelly, nine years old

"My mother says to look for a man who is kind....That's what I'll do....I'll find somebody who's kinda tall and handsome." -Carolyn, eight years old

"Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife" -Bert, five years old

"They were at a dance party at a friend's house. Then they went for a drive, but their car broke down...It was a good thing, because it gave them a chance to find out about their values." -Lottie, nine years old

"My father was doing some strange chores for my mother. They won't tell me what kind." -Jeremy, eight years old

"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." -Martin, ten years old

"Many daters just eat pork chops and french fries and talk about love." -Craig, nine years old

"You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a ring and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding." -Allan, ten years old

"You should ask the people who read Cosmopolitan" -Kirsten, ten years old

"It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need somebody to clean up after them" -Anita, nine years old
