9. The turkey never suffers from modesty.

8. You can nibble before dinner even if Mom sees you.

7. You are expected to pass the dishes around.

6. There are always at least two kinds of dessert, with or without whipped cream.

5. They give you the day off WITH pay to have dinner.

4. Thanksgiving dinner is a "sure" thing.

3. Seconds are encouraged. Take home, too!!

Thanksgiving Divorce
Nov 20, 2009 | 11:18AM

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says,' I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.

 

 

'Pop, what are you talking about?' the son screams.

 

 

We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the father says. 'We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her.'

 

 

 

 

 Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. 'Like heck they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this,'

 

 

 

She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, 'You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?' and hangs up.

 

 

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. 'Okay,' he says, 'they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way.'

Winter Driving Tips
Nov 19, 2009 | 10:28AM

The leading cause of death during winter storms is transportation accidents. Preparing your vehicle for the winter season and knowing how to react if stranded or lost on the road are the keys to safe winter driving.
 
Before Heading for Snow Country:

Make sure your brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition.

Check your antifreeze and be ready for colder temperatures.
 
You may want to add special solvent to your windshield washer reservoir to prevent icing.

Check your tires. Make sure they are properly inflated and the tread is in good condition.

Always carry chains. Make sure they are the proper size for your tires and are in working order.
 
Carry a flashlight and chain repair links. Chains must be installed on the drive wheels. Make sure you know if your vehicle is front or rear wheel drive.

Other suggested items to carry in your car are an ice scraper or commercial deicer, a broom for brushing snow off your car, a shovel to free your car if it's "snowed in," sand or burlap for traction if your wheels should become mired in snow; First Aid kit; and an old towel to clean your hands.

It is also a good idea to take along water, food, warm blankets and extra clothing.
 
A lengthy delay will make you glad you have them.

Bar Stakeout
Nov 17, 2009 | 5:57PM

The policeman had the bar under surveillance a few minutes before closing time, so he could see who comes out drunk.

 

The first one out the door at 2:00 o'clock weaved down the sidewalk, then fell on the curb.

 

Sluggishly got up, then tried his keys in five cars before finding his own car.

 

Once inside his car, he fumbled with his keys for 2 or 3 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, all the club patrons had gotten into their cars and driven away, leaving this one fellow quite alone in the parking lot.

 

Finally, he got his car started and began to very slowly drive away.

 

Immediately, the police car was behind him with lights flashing.

 

The policeman asked the man to take a breathalyser test, to which he readily agreed.

 

When the reading was 0.0%, the policeman said, "How can this be?"

 

To which the man replied, "Because tonight, I'm the designated decoy."

Flat Tire
Nov 16, 2009 | 4:28PM

Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I ease my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully get out of the car and open the trunk.

 

I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so lifelike you wouldn't believe! 

 

They are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers. But to my surprise, cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men. And of course, traffic starts backing up. Everybody is tooting their horns and waving like crazy.

 

It wasn't long before a state trooper pulls up behind me. He gets out of his car and starts walking towards me. I could tell he was not a happy camper!

 

'What's going on here?'

 

'My car has a flat tire', I said calmly.

 

'Well, what the heck are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?'

I couldn't believe that he didn't know.

 

 

So I told him, 'Helloooooo,  those  are my emergency flashers!'

A Near Death Experience
Nov 15, 2009 | 11:39AM

A middle-aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near-death experience. Seeing God, she asked if this was it.

 

God said "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months, and 8 days to live."

 

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face lift, liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck,etc. She even had someone come in and change her hair color. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it. She got out of the hospital after the last operation, and while crossing the street was killed by an ambulance speeding to the hospital.

 

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years?"

 

God replied, "I didn't recognize you."

Baked Beans
Nov 14, 2009 | 6:57PM

One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.

 

Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband and told him that I would be late because I had to walk home.

 

On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odor of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas.

 

Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly: "Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight."

 

He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call.

 

The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill . I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously.

 

Then, shifting to the other cheek, I let off three more. The smell was worse than cooked cabbage.

 

Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable.. When eventually the telephone farewells signaled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself.

 

My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not.

 

At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused:

"Happy Birthday!"

 

I Fainted

A Riddle
Nov 14, 2009 | 10:58AM

I live in water if you cut my head I am at your door, if you cut my tail I am a fruit, if you cut both, I am with you.



The answer is pearl.

 

Cut off the head (P) leaves Earl.

Earl is a man who could be at your door.

Cut off the tail (L) leaves Pear.

Pear is a fruit.

Cut off the head and tail (P/L) leaves Ear.

An ear is on your head!

Place your cursor at the top of the photo. You will notice it is 6:10 PM.  

Bring the mouse down slowly over the photo without pressing a button on the mouse.  Do not right or left click. 

Night time appears, the lights come on, and at 7:40 PM, it's dark!  

I think this is photo technology at its best!

A Fairy Tale for the Woman of the New Millennium
Nov 10, 2009 | 4:43PM

 Once upon a time, in a land far away, A beautiful, independent, self-assured princess, happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle. The frog hopped into the Princess' lap and said:

 

"Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome Prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young Prince that I am and then, my sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in yon castle with my Mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."

 

 

That night, on a repast of lightly sautéed frogs legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself and thought:

 

 

" I don't freaking think so. "

Wasp Spray vs Pepper Spray
Nov 07, 2009 | 7:33PM

 If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone’s
                evil plans for you.
                
                *Wasp Spray* 
A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead. 
                
The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote.

 
She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection. Thought this was interesting and might be of use. 
                
On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save your life. 
                
Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania Southview High School. For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed.

 
Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them." 
Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break 
into your home, Glinka says "spray the culprit in the eyes".  It's a tip he's given to students for decades. 
                
It's also one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for protection, Glinka says look to the spray. "That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save a life. 
                
Please share this with all the people in your life.

What is Politics?
Nov 07, 2009 | 11:44AM
Whether Democrat or Republican, I think you'll get a kick out of this!   
 
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?' 

Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way: 

I am the head of the family, so call me The President

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government
 
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People


The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.' 
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. 

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. 
He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. 

So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother asleep.  
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. 
He gives up and goes back to
bed. 

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.' 

The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.' 

The little boy replies, 'The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep.  The People  are being ignored and the Future is in deep poop.

Thomas Jefferson
Nov 07, 2009 | 8:18AM

How did Jefferson know???  

Especially read the
last quote from 1802.
 


 

 

The democracy will cease to exist
when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.


Thomas
Jefferson


 

It is incumbent on every
generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save
one-half the wars of the world.

 
Thomas
Jefferson


 

I predict future happiness for
Americans  if they can prevent the  government
from wasting the labors of the people under the
pretense of taking care of them.


Thomas
Jefferson
 

 

My reading of history convinces me
that most bad government results from too much
government.


Thomas
Jefferson


 

No free man shall ever be debarred
the use of arms.

 
Thomas
Jefferson


 

The strongest reason for the
people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is,  as  a  last resort,  to  protect  themselves
against  tyranny  in  government.


Thomas
Jefferson


 

The  tree  of  liberty  must  be
refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.


Thomas
Jefferson


 

To compel a man to subsidize with
his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.



Thomas
Jefferson
 


 
 
 

When we get piled
upon one another in large cities, as in Europe ,
we shall become as corrupt as Europe . 

Thomas
Jefferson
 



 

Thomas  Jefferson said in
1802:
'I believe that
banking institutions are more dangerous to
our liberties
  than  standing  armies.

If the American people ever allow
private banks to control the issue of their
currency,  first  by  inflation,
 then  by
deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around the banks will deprive the people
of all property -
until their children wake-up

 homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'

 

GOD BLESS AMERICA  

& GOD BLESS YOU!
