A gotcha

---

When I was younger I hated going to weddings ... it seemed that all of my aunts and the grandmotherly types used to come up to me, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.'
They stopped that shit after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Does Hard Work Pay? This may make you think...

---

One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach,
with his fishing pole
propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast
out into the sparkling
blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth of the
afternoon sun and the prospect
of catching a fish.

About that time, a businessman came walking down
the beach, trying to
relieve some of the stress of his workday. He
noticed the fisherman sitting
on the beach and decided to find out why this
fisherman was fishing instead
of working harder to make a better living for
himself
and his family.

"You aren't going to catch many fish that way,"
said the businessman to the
fisherman, "you should be working rather than lying
on the beach!"
The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled
and replied, "And what
will my reward be?"
"Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more
fish!" was the businessman's
answer.

"And then what will my reward be?" asked the
fisherman, still smiling. The
businessman replied, "You will make money and
you'll be able to buy a boat,
which will then result in larger catches of fish!"

"And then what will my reward be?" asked the
fisherman again. The
businessman was beginning to get a little irritated
with the fisherman's
questions. "You can buy a bigger boat, and hire
some people to work for
you!" he said.

"And then what will my reward be?" repeated the
fisherman. The businessman
was getting angry. "Don't you understand? You can
build up a fleet of
fishing boats, sail all over the world, and let all
your employees catch
fish for you!"

Once again the fisherman asked, "And then what will
my reward be?" The
businessman was red with rage and shouted at the
fisherman, "Don't you
understand that you can become so rich that you
will never have to work for
your living again! You can spend all the rest of
your days sitting on this
beach, looking at the sunset. You won't have a care
in the world!"

The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said,
"And what do you think
I'm doing right now?"
Hmmm.

Woman get bear

---

A woman meets a gorgeous man in a bar. They talk,
they connect, they end up leaving together.

They get back to his place, and as he shows her
around his apartment, she notices that his bedroom is
completely packed with teddy bears. Hundreds
of small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor,
medium sized ones on a shelf a little higher, and huge
bears on the top shelf along the wall.

The woman is kind of surprised that this guy would
have a collection of teddy bears, especially one
that's so extensive, but she decides not to mention
this to him.

She turns to him... they kiss... and then they rip
each others clothes off and make love.

After an intense night of passion, as they are
lying there together in the afterglow, the woman
rolls over and asks, smiling, "Well, how was it?"

The bloke says, "You can have any prize from the
bottom shelf."

Lack of Hormone Gave 'Superkid' Big Muscles, he was born in Germany

---

Didn't have have a war(WWII)with people from there that were doing this same suff?

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German toddler has massive muscles and can lift far heavier weights than other kids his age because of a natural genetic mutation, Markus Schuelke, a neurology specialist in Berlin, said on Thursday.


Schuelke first examined the child, now four, as a new-born baby when his extraordinary muscle mass caused fears he might have a muscular problem.


But the baby has developed into a healthy boy, normal apart from having muscles twice as big as normal which enable him to lift three kilo (6.6 lb) weights.


Doctors have now proved for the first time that the child's muscles grew so large because of the absence or malfunctioning of the growth-curbing hormone myostatin.


"Myostatin acts as a stop-sign to muscle growth. If it is removed, muscles will continue to develop," said Schuelke.


The discovery may enable doctors eventually to use myostatin hormone therapy to treat people with muscular dystrophy, a degenerative condition for which there is no cure, he said.

Life in these years...

---

Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years
they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their
activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards.

One day they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said,
"Now don't get mad at me....I know we've been friends for a long time.....but
I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't
remember it. Please tell me what your name is."

Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared
and glared at her. Finally she said


"How soon do you need to know?"

A Good Point

A husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop, and with them are
their nine children. A blind man joins them after a few minutes. When
the bus arrives, they find it overloaded and only the wife and the nine
kids are able to fit into the bus. So the husband and the blind man
decide to walk. After a while the husband gets irritated by the ticking
of the stick of the blind man as he taps it on the side walk and
says to him, "Why don't you put a piece of rubber at the end your stick,
that ticking sound is driving me crazy!" The blind man replies, "If you
would've put a rubber on the end of YOUR stick, we'd be riding the bus,
so shut the hell up!"

AN IDEA TO FILL THE TIME...........

Being Retired!

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their
days interesting.
I went to the store the other day. I was only in there for about 5
minutes.

When I came out there was a city cop writing out a parking ticket.
I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving a senior a
break?"
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi.
He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn
tires.
So I called him a piece of dog shit.
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the
first.
Then he started writing a third ticket.
This went on for about 20 minutes.. the more I abused him, the more
tickets he wrote.
I didn't give a damn. My car was parked around the corner.
I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired.
It's important at my age.

Stop the Censorship of Fahrenheit 9/11

---

Last night, I got a chance to see a sneak preview of Michael Moore's new film Fahrenheit 9/11. It is an incredibly powerful movie that lays bare the cynicism and greed behind Bush's war policy. And the astonishing and revealing footage in it has the power to change the course of the 2004 election. (There's a full review below.)

Given how devastating the movie is to President Bush's carefully crafted facade, it's hardly surprising that right-wing groups who call Moore a "domestic enemy" are using censorship and intimidation tactics to try to get it pulled from theaters. That's why we've got to do everything we can to make the opening a huge success.

Today, we're asking MoveOn members to pledge to see the film on the opening night -- Friday, June 25th. (If you can't make it on Friday, pledging to go on Saturday or Sunday is fine, too). It'll be fun, of course -- you'll be watching the movie with lots of other MoveOn members. It'll also send an unmistakable message to the media and theater owners that the public is behind this movie.

To see the Fahrenheit 9/11 trailer and pledge to see the movie on the opening weekend, go to:

http://www.moveonpac.org/f911/?id=2949-3646104-YRmkUta5zw10_vFfKGLFuQ

Then please pass this message on to your friends, family, and co-workers.

Fahrenheit 9/11 isn't just the most powerful and complete indictment of the Bush administration that I've ever seen - it's one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's a knockout blow: a poignant, darkly funny film that deftly interweaves footage of the President, his allies, and the Americans his policies betrayed. As Fox News' reviewer put it, the movie "is a tribute to patriotism, to the American sense of duty - and at the same time an indictment of stupidity and avarice." (See http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,122680,00.html for the full review.)

Despite years of television coverage on Iraq and the war on terror, most of the movie consists of footage you'd never see on TV. There are heart-breaking interviews with troops in Iraq, chilling scenes of the civilian consequences of that war, and footage of Bush so candid and revealing that it's hard to imagine how Moore got his hands on it. In one unforgettable scene from the morning of September 11th, Bush blithely reads a children's book to a classroom of kids for seven long minutes after his chief of staff quietly informs him that the second plane has hit the World Trade Center and "we're under attack." The film is filled with this stuff, and it's hard to imagine seeing it and not being moved, shocked, and outraged.

Fahrenheit 9/11 opens with footage of Bush administration officials putting on their TV makeup. Paul Wolfowitz sticks his comb in his mouth, slathers it with spit, brushes it through his hair, and grins a toothy grin. Colin Powell eyes the camera nervously as a makeup artist dusts his face. And, moments before President Bush goes on TV to somberly announce the beginning of the Iraq war, we see him goofing around, making funny faces at the folks behind the camera.

These candid portraits encapsulate the genius of Moore's documentary. Compared to his other films, there's little pranking or moralizing. Moore basically stays out of the picture: he doesn't have to indict the Bush administration, because with powerful and indisputable video, Bush and the rest indict themselves.

As Moore unravels Bush's story, he joins it with the stories of the real Americans who have shouldered the burden of the post-9/11 war policy. In Flint, Michigan, we hear from a group of inner-city kids whose only option for education and a better life is to enlist in the Army - and then, in a scene that's both humorous and deeply creepy, join two Marine recruiters as they case a local mall for possible enlistees. We watch a California peace group that was infiltrated by the local police department under the Patriot Act. And, in the final heartbreaking scenes, we witness the pain of a mother who lost her son in Iraq.

In the hands of other directors, the content could easily feel exploitative. But Moore is grounded by a patriotism that rings through every frame of the film. Compassion and love of country give the film its striking authenticity: it's clear that what stings most about the President's behavior, for the subjects of the film, is Bush's betrayal of our country's soul.

Fahrenheit 9/11 is a film with the power to change hearts and minds. It's brilliant, funny, moving, and authentic. And together, we can make it a huge success.

Watch the trailer and pledge to see the film opening night at:

P.S. Fahrenheit 9/11 has already reaped widespread praise from critics. Here are just a few samples:

Roger Ebert, "Less is Moore in subdued, effective '9/11'," Chicago Sun Times, May 18, 2004
"Despite these dramatic moments, the most memorable footage for me involved President Bush on Sept. 11. [Ebert goes on to describe the scene.] The look on his face as he reads the book, knowing what he knows, is disquieting."
http://www.suntimes.com/output/eb-feature/cst-ftr-cannes18.html

Mary Corliss, "A First Look at "Fahrenheit 9/11," Time Magazine Online, May 17, 2004
Corliss calls the film, "Moore’s own War on Error."
http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,638819,00.html

Frank Rich, "Beautiful Minds and Ugly Truths," International Herald Tribune, May 21, 2004
"'Fahrenheit 9/11' is not the movie Moore watchers, fans or foes, were expecting. (If it were, the foes would find it easier to ignore.)"

Hosting Service Closes 3000 Blogs Without Notice, no not me this time, but

---

"Citing the high costs of running the free service, performance concerns, and health problems, Dave Winer closed down the weblogs.com hosting service without any prior notice. As many as 3000 sites are now inaccessible, and the users who want to transfer their data elsewhere have to ask (politely) for it to be exported. As might be expected, reactions range from understanding to enraged. Netcraft has a report, too."

That is way you start see my every own blog page on a server that is controlled by members of Letsnet.org. Steelhoof, you know the guy who hates SPAM and is letsnet's GUY on Linux, well he's the one who is contributing space on his server to letsnet.org. And if your looking for a place to host your website or page or if you want to register a domain name, I.E. letsnet.org, he can handle that for you too. $10.00 appx. a month paid thou PayPal. E-mail him at Help@yourcomputers.org. Just some old "hobbyist" & non old Techs trying to help, safely. And now it looks like have a computer is not going to do it if your concerned about losing your info. I'm still trying to recover from yahoo's dropping their Ecard service and changing to a new one. I lost all my saved cards and much more. So the more I can do for myself or within letsnet the better. Something to think on. information is power and power is control, and the more control you have the better you are to handle your affairs the way you want.

LIFE

Is all about ass,

you're either covering it,

laughing it off,

kicking it,

kissing it,

busting it,

or trying to get a piece of it.

WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?

---

(taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)


Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of her own. They like other people's.

A grandfather is a man grandmother.

Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the store and have lots of quarters for us.

When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.

They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also Why we shouldn't step on "cracks."

They don't say, "Hurry up."

Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes.

They wear glasses and funny underwear.

They can take their teeth and gums out.

Grandp arents don't have to be smart.

They have to answer questions like "why isn't God married?" and "How come dogs chase cats?".

When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again.

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television, because they are the only grown ups who like to spend time with us.

They know we should have snack-time before bedtime and they say prayers with us every time, and kiss us even when we've acted bad.


! A 6 YEAR OLD WAS ASKED WHERE HIS GRANDMA LIVED. ''OH,'' HE SAID, ''SHE LIVES AT THE AIRPORT, AND WHEN WE WANT HER WE JUST GO GET HER. THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE HAVING HER VISIT, WE TAKE HER BACK TO THE AIRPORT.''

Your Funny New Name

---

Follow the instructions to find your new FUNNY name. The following is an excerpt from a children's book, "Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants" by Dave Pilkey: The evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names...

Use the third letter of your first name to determine your New first
name:
a = poopsie
b = lumpy
c = snotty
d = gidget
e = crusty
f = greasy
g = fluffy
h = cheeseball
i = chim-chim
j = stinky
k = flunky
l = boobie
m = pinky
n = zippy
o = goober
p = doofus
q = slimy
r = loopy
s = buttercup
t = tulefel
u = dorkey
v = squeezit
w = oprah
x = skipper
y = dinky
z = zsa-zsa

NOW
Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your
new last name:
a = apple
b = toilet
c = giggle
d = burger
e = girdle
f = barf
g = lizard
h = waffle
i = cootie
j = monkey
k = potty
l = liver
m = banana
n = rhino
o = bubble
p = hamster
q = toad
r = chuckle
s = pizza
t = gerbil
u = chicken
v = pickle
w = gizzard
x = tofu
y = gorilla
z = stinker

LAST
Use the fourth letter of your last name to determine the second half of
your new last name:
a = head
b = mouth
c = face
d = nose
e = tush
f = breath
g = pants
h = shorts
i = lips
j = honker
k = butt
l = brain
m = tushie
n = chunks
o = hiney
p = biscuits
q = toe
r = buns
s = fanny
t = sniffer
u = sprinkles
v = kisser
w = squirt
x = humperdinck
y = brains
z = juice

Thus, for example, George W. Bush's new name is Goober Chickenshorts.

I know what if you only have 2 letters in your first name, and what if you only have 3 letters in last name (you know who you are), tough. You don't get to play or make up your own rules.

The Burial

---

Little Amber was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence.

Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was doing.

He politely asked, "What are you up to there, Amber?"

"My goldfish died," replied Amber tearfully, without looking up, "And I've just buried him."

The neighbor was concerned, "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish isn't it?'

Amber patted down the last heap of earth then replied, "That's because he's inside your frecking cat."
