I so enjoyed the old type of comedians, the humor wasn't about "others" as they kept it to "themselves", about the "life"in general, and people whom had been there, an knew about it, could laugh at some of the things they had been through in growing up also. I can remember the "I love Lucy" show when she started making this loaf of bread that kept growing an growing clear out of her kitchen one time and laughed, or even Tim Allen's sit-com where he was showing the latest inventions and closed his whole kitchen to reveal the whole thing being sprayed down with water in an whirling direction of an sprinkler, while hsi partner was slammed up against the see through dorrs like he was in an dishwasher, and then whom can forget Benny Hill...Red Skelton, Tim Conway, Carol Burnette, Steve Allen, Johnny Carson...to name but an very few of the great ones through the years, whom made us weep with joy from laughing and we forgot our troubles if but for an moment. People in my parents generation gave us "hope" ..Art Linkletter, the TV host whom was an orpan showed other like "kids" that you could grow up and be respectable and famous in the world, and John Wayne showed people that being big and tough meant to use it for truth and justice, and these were the days when you could be President if you set your mind to it, no matter what the family finanical status was. they through themselves...inspired others to "become" their best, whatever  "talent"  they  may posess at the time. The more you had, the more you shared also.

What Christmas is all about every day!  

"The message of this season that is applicable throughout the year lies not in the receiving of earthly presents and treasures but in the forsaking of selfishness and greed and in going forward, seeking and enjoying the gifts of the Spirit, which Paul said are 'love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

I got this in the mail this week along with a picture of a bunch of very cute puppies.

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

I usualy get an "angel" book at Christmas to read and an romance book at Valentine's Day to read, well, I picked up an book with an angel on it called "The Messenger's" by Julie Ingram, and it's completely different now that I'm into it, it speaks of "angels" encouraging one "Nick Burnick" whom lives in an area of Portland called Lake Oswego, an sucessful international businessman, to author an book...well, it turns out that he's really the apostle "paul",,and this Julie is an past life regressionist, and so she takes him back to his asocation with Jesus unto his death. I'm about finished with it, to me, I wonder if he was "Paul" or not, as this has an lot of "new age" type thinking to it...and knowing the bible, it would be easy to supply the dialouge perhaps.  It couldn't come at an more perfect time, day two and day two the schools have been closed, with another storm coming into tomarrow to perhaps get us out of this cold snap...but first they are saying we have to have 3 to 5 inches of snow and an little freezing rain perhaps. I know...read on, by the time it's over with, the book will have been read.
