I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my PAPER newspaper like I used to, before the Web.
I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.
I will get dressed before noon.
I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.
I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Web-deprived.
I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Web.
I will read a book... if I still remember how.
I will listen to those around me about their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Web.
I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.
1I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.
I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Web.
Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime... and the Web will always be there tomorrow!

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked
and/or drank while they
carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna
from a can, and didn't get
tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered
with bright
coloredlead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles,
doors or cabinets and when we
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention,
the risks we took
hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat
belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was
always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a
bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from
one bottle and NO ONE
actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and
drank soda pop with sugar
in it, but we weren't overweight because
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all
day, as long as we were back
when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were
O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of
scraps and then ride down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes.
After running into the
bushes a few times, we learned to solve the
problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes,
no video games at all, no
99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no
surround sound, no cell
phones, no personal computers, no Internet or
Internet chat rooms
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and
teeth and there were
nolawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the
worms did not live in us
forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made
up games with sticks and
tennis balls and although we were told it would
happen, we did not put out
very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and
knocked on the door or rang
the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the
team. Those who didn't
had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine
that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the
law was unheard of. They
actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best
risk-takers, problem solvers
and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of
innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and
responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have
had the luck to grow up as
kids, before the lawyers and the government
regulated our lives for our own
good.
and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so
they will know how brave
their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house
with scissors, doesn't it?!

Humor - an old virus

There is a old virus circulating around.
It is called "WORK".
If you receive WORK from your colleagues, your boss, or from anyone else,
do
not touch it under any circumstances. This virus wipes out your private
life
completely. If you should happen to come in contact with this virus, take
two
friends and go straight to the nearest bar. Order drinks immediately and
after
three rounds, you will find that WORK has been completely deleted from
your
brain. If you don't drink, check out the Dairy Queen Hot Fudge Brownie
Supreme!
It has pretty much the same effect. Forward this virus warning
immediately to at least five friends. Should you realize you do not have
five
friends, this means you are already infected by this virus and WORK
already
controls your life. If this is the case, go to the nearest bar or Dairy
Queen
and stay until you make at least five friends. Then retry. I think I have
five
friends, but I am not entirely positive, so I'm headed for the Dairy Queen
anyway...it never hurts to be safe.

I thought this was really something.
The Old Poodle
A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking
her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles
discovers that she's lost. Wandering about, she notices a leopard
heading rapidly in her direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some
bones on the ground close by, she immediately settles down to chew on the
bones with her back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about
to leap, the old poodle exclaims
loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any
more around here?"
Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look
of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!",
says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby
tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for
protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him
heading after the leopard with great
speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up
with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the
leopard.
The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here,
monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving
canine!"
Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back
and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog
sits down with her back to her attackers, pretending she hasn't seen them
yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says: "Where's that damn monkey? I sent him
off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"
Moral of this story..
Don't mess with old farts..age and treachery will always overcome
youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and
experience!

Two robins were sitting in a tree.
"I'm really hungry," said the first one. "Let's fly down and find some lunch."
They flew down to the ground and found a nice plot of newly plowed ground that was full of worms. They ate and ate and ate till they could eat no more.
"I'm so full, I don't think I can fly back up into the tree," said the first one.
"Let's just lay back here and bask in the warm sun," said the second.
"O K," said the first.
So they plopped down, basking in the sun. No sooner than they had fallen asleep, when a big fat tomcat up and gobbled them up.
As the cat sat washing his face after his meal, he thought...

A letter from Frank (no not you Frank U.)
The worlds is so ass backwards today that it almost makes you wish you were dyslectic - Dennis Miller(I am dyslectic, it didn't work)
IT'S GOD'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FORGIVE BIN LADEN
IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ARRANGE THE MEETING

It is important for men to remember, that as women grow older it becomes
harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when
they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are
oversensitive & there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.
My name is Frank..... Let me relate how I handled the situation with my
wife, Maureen.
When I took "early retirement" last year, it became necessary for
Maureen to get a full-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits
that we needed.
Shortly after she started working I noticed she was beginning to show
her age. I usually get home from the Golf Course about the same time she
gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always
says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't
yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when
she gets dinner on the table.
I generally have lunch in the Men's Grill at the club so eating out is
not an option. I'm ready for some home cooked grub when I hit that door...
She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now, it's
not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I
do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening
that they won't clean themselves. I know she appreciates this, as it does
seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed. I really think my
experience in the gas business helps a lot. I consider telling people
what they ought to do one of my strong points...
And speaking of bed, her age really shows up there. I go out and golf
all day, come in dead tired and after a two hour nap and a good meal, I'm
ready, if you know what I mean.
Age has gotten her so bad that she actually dozes off during lovemaking.
But that's okay. Her satisfaction in that area is important to a sensitive
guy like me and if she enjoys sleeping during our little trysts, what the
hey...
Now that she has gotten older, she does seem to get tired so much more
quickly. Our washer and dryer are in the basement. Sometimes she says
she just can't make another trip down those steps. I don't make a big issue
of this; as she finishes up the laundry the next evening, I'm willing to
overlook it. Not only that, but unless I need something ironed to wear
to the Monday lodge meeting, or to Wednesday's or Saturday's poker club, or
to Tuesday's or Thursday's bowling, or something like that, I will tell her
to wait until the next evening to do the ironing.
This gives her a little more time to do some of those odds and ends like
shampooing the dog, vacuuming or dusting.
Also, if I had a really good day on the course and it was wet and muddy,
my clubs are a mess, so I let her clean them, you know.....get the grit off
the grips and a little light Brillo on the club faces at a casual pace. My
golf bag is heavy so I lift it out of the trunk for her. Women are delicate,
have weak wrists and can't lift heavy stuff as good as men. But I did tell
her I don't like to be wakened during my after golf nap, so rather than bother
me, she can put them back in the trunk when she's finished.
Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example, she will
say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills
during her lunch hour. But boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just
smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even
three days. That way she won't have to rush so much.
I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't
hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my
strong points.
When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods.
She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I
try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice,
big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. And,
as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me
too, then take her break by my hammock. That way she can talk with me until I
fall asleep.
I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Maureen.
I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will
find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I
do, how frustrating women get as they get older.
However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less
criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider
that writing it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth
to help each other...
Signed, Frank
EDITOR'S NOTE: Frank died suddenly Thursday, June 3. He was found with a
Calloway extra long 50 inch Big Bertha Driver II rammed up his ass, with
only 2 inches of grip showing. His wife Maureen was arrested, but the
Grand Jury accepted her defense that he accidentally sat on it and she was
released on Friday, June 4.
