   Good afternoon all my friends. I just wanted to do a quick check in with you guys to let you know all is well. we've completed our preps and just waiting to see what happens. As I mentioned the other day, I am on standby with the medical team. So unfortunately I am stuck here. I have made sure that Mrs. Rawr is well took care of.
   I'm glad to hear that Victoria is out of harms way. One less thing I have to worry about. I hope to be on here for a while with you all. But in any case I'll be back in touch as soon as possible.

   A man had been in business for many years and his business was going down the drain and was full of debt. He was seriously contemplating suicide and he didn't know what to do. So he went to his Priest to seek advice.
   He told the Priest about all of his problems in business and asked the Priest what he should do. The Priest said "Take a beach chair and a bible and put them in your car and drive down to the edge of the ocean. Go to the water's edge. Take the beach chair out of the car, sit on it and take the Bible out and open it up. The wind will rifle the pages for a while and eventually the Bible will stay open at a particular page. Read the Bible and it will tell you what to do."
   The man did as he is told. He placed a beach chair and a Bible in his car and drove down to the beach. He sat on the chair at the water's edge and opened the Bible. The wind rifled the pages of the Bible and then stopped at a particular page. He looked down at the Bible and knew immediately what he had to do.
   Three months later the man and his family came back to see the Priest. The man was wearing a $1,000 Italian suit, his wife was all decked out with a full-length mink coat and the child was dressed in beautiful silk.
   The man handed the Priest a thick envelope full of money and told him that he wants to donate this money to the church in order to thank the Priest for his wonderful advice.
   The Priest was delighted. He recognizes the man and asked him what advice in the bible brought this good fortune to him.
   The man replies: "Chapter 11."

   MORE POINTS TO PONDER

   Isn't it scary that the word "therapist" is the same as the words "the" and "rapist" put together?
   Do sheep get static cling when they rub against one another?
   On a telephone, why does ABC start on the number 2 and not 1?
   Do pigs pull ham strings?
   Do dumped farmers get John Deere letters?
   Why do radio operators say "niner" instead of just "nine"?
   Why do people say heads up when you should duck?
   Why did Superman wear his briefs on the outside of his tights?
   Does anyone actually kill two birds with one stone?
   Why do they call the clock where you punch your time card called a "time" clock? Aren't all clocks "time" clocks?
   Why does blow and suck mean the same thing when we describe something being crap?
   Can dogs have dog days?
   When a male is elected president and his wife is called the First Lady. What would a lady's husband be called if she were elected president?

     1) Considering the rates they charge, it's irony at it's finest.
     2) Yep, and you can also stick them to the wall.
     3) Because I designed it that way.
     4) Pigs pull Silly String.
     5) Yes, unfortunately...
     6) They've had too much winer.
     7) Because they want the people to actually get hit and see where it came from.
     8) Kenney should explain *that* one.
     9) Only if the birds are previously unconscious.
     10) Well, yes, and the cards are tired of being beat up also...
     11) There lies the conundrum.
     12) Dogs, of course, have cat days.
     13) We'll find out whwn Hilary gets elected in 2016, lol.

   And since we're about to have a wind problem of our own

   The Lady of the manor lived on for many years after the old Lord had died. Indeed, she continued in the true blue-blooded ways to which the old Lord had always set the finest example, including maintaining their wide circle of august friends.
   For this particular evening the old Lady had arranged a large dinner at the manor and of course the finest of aristocracy in the land had accepted invitations.
   Unfortunately the old dear had developed a severe "wind" problem, shall we say. But being a pragmatist and CERTAINLY not prepared to even entertain the THOUGHT of cancelling the dinner, she summoned the butler before the first guests were due to arrive.
   "George," she said, "You are of course aware of my WIND problem. No, no, do not hesitate, I KNOW you are! Just please do as I ask. Please see that you stand right behind me all evening, just in case I should need you".
   "Yes, Ma'am," said George.
   That evening, halfway through the third course, it duly happened. The old Lady let loose with a real whopper – a roar! Immediately she turned around in her chair and said, "George, will you STOP that!"
   And George promptly responded, "Yes, Ma'am, if I can find out which way it went".
