We are sorry there has been no papers the last few days as the main site that sends out the papers has been down, We hope it is now fixed and everything is back working again.

~*~ The Sympathetic Visitor ~*~

A big, burly man visited the pastor's home and asked
to see the minister's wife, who was well known for her
charitable impulses. As he addressed her he said in a
broken voice, "I'd like to draw your attention to the
terrible plight of a poor family in this district. The father
is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and the nine
children are starving.
They are about to be turned out into the cold streets
unless someone pays their $400 rent payment.
"How terrible!" exclaimed the preacher's wife.
"May I ask who you are?"
The visitor wiped his eyes with his handkerchief and
sobbed. "I'm the landlord."

~*~ A Great Vocabulary ~*~

I used to think I was poor.

Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy.

Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as
needy. I was deprived.

Then they told me that it was bad for my ego to think of
myself as deprived, I was really underprivileged.

Then they told me that underprivileged was overused.
I was disadvantaged.

I still don't have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary.

~*~ SENIOR CITIZEN ~*~

YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!

I'm the life of the party...... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I'm very good at opening childproof caps... with a hammer.
I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I am going.
I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.
I'm very good at telling stories; over and over and over and over...
I'm aware that other people's grandchildren are not nearly as cute as mine.
I'm so cared for -- long term care, eye care, private care, dental care.

I'm not really grouchy,

I just don't like traffic, waiting, crowds, lawyers, loud music, unruly kids, Toyota commercials, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, barking dogs, politicians and a few other things I can't seem to remember right now.

I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

I'm having trouble remembering simple words like.

I'm beginning to realizing that aging is not for wimps.

I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days, and when did they let kids become policemen?

I'm wondering, if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?

And, how can my kids be older than I feel sometimes?

I'm a walking storeroom of facts..... I've just lost the key to the storeroom door.

Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!

Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back to them, but I would send it to many more!

Now- Have I already sent this to you???????

If so, I'll try not to do it again (for a while.)

Have a Blessed Day
