The Bus Ride
Two bowling teams, one of all Blondes and one of all
Brunettes, charter a double-decker bus for a weekend trip to
Louisiana. The Brunette team rode on the bottom of the bus,
and the Blonde team rode on the top level.
The Brunette team down below really whooped it up,
having a great time, when one of them realized she
hadn't heard anything from the Blondes upstairs. She
decided to go up and investigate.
When the Brunette reached the top, she found all the
Blondes in fear, staring straight ahead at the road,
clutching the seats in front of them with white knuckles.
the brunette asked, 'What in the world is going on up
here? We're having a great time downstairs!'
One of the Blondes looked up at her, swallowed hard and
whispered...yeah, but you've got a driver.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!! what a show
oil can harry put on tonight! the band did a heck of a job tonight. they got started late because there was an arm wrestling thing going on in back of the tent. getting back to
oil can harry, they played a hell of great songs. that tent was so packed. that band has a huge following. how many of you bloggers went to see them perform at the eden firemens picnic? i hope that they come back next year to play. i hope we get a ton of bloggers on this site to come out to the eden area and enjoy that band next year. that would be a hell of a time. after my mother took me and a freind of mine home from there, i stood outside and listened to the music from the deck just outside my house in the front. let me tell you bloggers that my deck was shaking right under me. i love listening to bands from my house when they play at the park. i live for that every single year. hopefully we can get all of us bloggers out there and have a great time. for the shows that they do, go to their website at
www.oilcan.net and bookmark that.
oil can harry sure knows how to rock a firemens picnic like they do. that is for sure. we need to get the people from the station up here and they will have a great time up here in eden at the picnic.

once in a while i like to watch fox11 news @9 out of green bay. what i like about that is because when it comes to a certain story, they would have both side of the story that is being featured. i wish fox 6 would have something like what fox 11 has on their newscasts. they even have that on their news @ 5 as well. how many of you bloggers in the fond du lac service area for charter cable watch fox 11 for news once in a while and if you like it when they have both sides of a story they feature? what is nice is that you get both sides from different points.

As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a grave-side service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there. As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and being a typical man did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew, who was eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight.
I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul. As I preached the workers began to say 'Amen,' 'Praise the Lord,' and 'Glory'! I preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached before- from Genesis all the way to Revelations. I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car. As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, 'I ain't never seen anything like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.'

Pictures at the end, do not miss.
In Tennessee we really do pull off the road and stop for funerals......nobody moves until the last car has gone by.
What follows is a message from Vicki Pierce about her nephew James' funeral (he was serving our country in Iraq):
'I'm back, it was certainly a quick trip, but I have to also say it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. There is a lot to be said for growing up in a small town in Tennnessee The service itself was impressive with wonderful flowers and sprays, a portrait of James, his uniform and boots, his awards and ribbons. There was lots of military brass and an eloquent (though
longwinded) Baptist preacher. There were easily 1000 people at the service, filling the church sanctuary as well as the fellowship hall and spilling out into the parking lot.
However, the most incredible thing was what happened following the service on the way to the cemetery. We went to our cars and drove to the cemetery escorted by at least 10 police cars with lights flashing and some other emergency vehicles, with Tennessee police handling traffic. Everyone on the road who was not in the procession, pulled over, got out of their cars, and stood silently and respectfully, some put their hands over their hearts.
When we turned off the highway suddenly there were teenage boys along both sides of the street about every 20 feet or so, all holding large American flags on long flag poles, and again with their hands on their hearts. We thought at first it was the Boy Scouts or 4H club or something, but it continued .. for two and a half miles. Hundreds of young people, standing silently on the side of the road with flags. At one point we passed an elementary school, and all the children were outside, shoulder to shoulder holding flags kindergartners, handicapped, teachers, staff, everyone. Some held signs of love and support. Then came teenage girls and younger boys, all holding flags. Then adults. Then families. All standing silently on the side of the road. No one spoke, not even the very young children.
The military presence, at least two generals, a fist full of colonels, and representatives from every branch of the service, plus the color guard who attended James, and some who served with him ... was very impressive and respectful, but the love and pride from this community who had lost one of their own was the most amazing thing I've ever been privileged to witness.
I've attached some pictures, some are blurry (we were moving), but you can get a small idea of what this was like.
These photos are awesome !!

TOP 8 MORONS OF 2008 - so far anyway.
1.. WILL THE REAL DUMMY PLEASE STAND UP?
AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it's not Walter who's lacking intelligence.
2. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS..
Police in Oakland , CA spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside his home. After firing ten tear gas canisters, officers discovered that the man was sta nding beside them in the police line, shouting, 'Please come out and give yourself up.'
3. WHAT WAS PLAN B???
An Illinois man, pretending to have a gun, kidnapped a motorist and forced him to drive to two different automated teller machines, wherein the kidnapper proceeded to withdraw money from his own bank accounts.
4. THE GETAWAY!
A man walked into a Topeka , Kansas Kwik Stop and asked for all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently, the take was too small, so he tied up the store clerk and worked the counter himself for three hours until police showed up and grabbed him.
5. DID I SAY THAT???
Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn't control himself during a lineup. When detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words: 'Give me all your money or I'll shoot', the man shouted, 'that's not what I said!'
6. ARE WE COMMUNICATING???
A man spoke frantically into the phone: 'My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart'. 'Is this her first child?' the doctor asked. 'No!' the man shouted, 'This is her husband!'
7. NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED!
In Modesto , CA , Steven Richard King was arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America branch without a weapon. King used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun. Unfortunately, he failed to keep his hand in his pocket. (hellooooooo)!
8. THE GRAND FINALE!!!
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, CA, some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 foot boat, going. It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power they applied. After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted into a nearby marina, thinking someone there may be able to tell them what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition The engine ran fine, the out-drive went up and down, and the propeller was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath. He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard.
NOW REMEMBER...THIS IS TRUE.
Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer!

for those of you bloggers who are fans of big brother and did not see what is going on. here is a complete wrapup in detail of what happened.
SUNDAY::::the houseguests moved into the big brother compound. before they went in, they voted for the first head of household. the vote was revealed and jerry won head of household. jerry nominated renny and jessie for eviction.
TUESDAY::::the first power of veto competition was held. jessie won the veto and took himself off the chopping block. jerry who was the head of household had to replace jessie. so his reasoning to them was that there was someone who was playing both sides of the house and he put up brian.
WEDNESDAY::::the houseguests vote live to evict either renny or brian. brian was evicted from the compound. jessie became the head of household after winning the head of household competition.
SUNDAY:::::jessie nominated during the nomination ceremony steven and dan for eviction. one of his reasonings was stupid for dan not coming up to his room. the other reason was that they see steven as a physical threat.
TUESDAY::::michelle won the second power of veto competition. a fight between jerry, libra, and renny ensued. during the veto meeting, michelle did not use the veto and kept the nominations the same.
WEDNESDAY::::steven was evicted from the big brother compound tonight. keesha won the head of household competition and is the new head of household.
in the next 3 to 5 weeks i should be posting a bigger blog about what goes on in the big brother house. so keep your eyes peeled.

warning:must feature for all female bloggers to read and repsond to. vital information. only female bloggers respond to this blog.
how many of you bloggers watched oprah today? her show was about spousal rape. let me tell all of you bloggers that this show is an eye-opener. this is a very serious show that all of you female bloggers should have been watching.
the first lady that oprah had on the show told her about her ordeal when she ws married. she was raped and sodemized by her own husband. he is up for parole as of 2019. if you ever saw the show today, and saw the pictures of what happened to her. you'ld be shocked and mortified. thank god she did report her husband to the police. while the husband was still sleeping, she escaped through a window. her ex-husband was verbally abusive toward her as well. she was explaining what happened was very shocking. this guy would punch her, make her perform sexual acts that she did not want to do, and rape her. he even said horrible things like how does it feel to be used and other things. the lady in the first story said to oprah that she was laying on the bed and her ex would force himself on top of her. he would put the sofa in front of the front door and the dryer at the back door, and he told her that no one is going to save her. before that she was dragged outside and screaming for help. he said to her that he would have the opportunity to kill her outside or in the house.
the second lady,who was a deuputy police officer, that oprah had on the show today, told her what happened to her. she told oprah that she was raped by her ex-husband as well. she was having arguments with him over a single subject-sex. her husband was good at manipulating her. he would ask her to have sex with him and she said no. one night her ex tried to kill himself, by holding a knife to his neck crying and saying that he would kill himself because she would not have sex with him. she got him to calm down and both of them went into the bedroom. on the program, she told oprah that wa when he forced her to have sex with him. he would tell her that she doesn't love him because she would not have the sexual contact with him. one night she came home from work, her ex was hiding under the steps of her home. down the road from her home, the ex forced her into his car and drove her to a small town in colorado and raped her. this guy was even carring a gun. she was even carring a restraining order paper in hand. in court, one of her kids at the sentencing hearing said that what happened to her mom was horrible and if she would ever see him, she would fear for her own life. this lady was doing the right thing by changing the locks on her house. the ex husband was sentenced to prison for life. she did not report it the first time because she was in denial.
the prosecutor that was on toward the end of the show told oprah that there are some tings that victims of spousal rape should do and they are the following:
(***)keep a journal
(***)go to the hopsital and have a rape kit collect evidence
(***)go to the police
(***)get a restraining order
(***)tell someone

oh great! just what we need! a flash flood watch through saturday night. we certainly do not need torrential rainfall that leads to flooding. i absolutetly do not want to have my dad bailing out his basement again. hey vince, even though the storms are not all day rains, how much rainfall can we expect through saturday night? yesterday on the way home from work, it wsa pouring like a son of a gun. i got a feeling that the underpasses of military and hickory streets were flodded. we were on the highway 151 bypass, and i saw a vehicle kicking up a ton of water. we sure do not need more rain. our garden is so sad that nothing is coming up. our cucumber seeds are not germinating-execpt we have one plant and that is it for that. our watermelons are ok for now along with our musk melon. some of our plants in our garden are not doing well at all. we need our gardens to totally dry out and give our plants time to soak in the water from all the rainfall that we had.

TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT.
DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE.
THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING,
WROTE IN THE SAND:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.
THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED
TO TAKE A BATH
THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE ! AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.
AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:
'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE'.
THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE
SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?'
THE FRIEND REPLIED
'WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE I T DOWN
IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.
BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES
SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT.'
LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.
THEY SAY IT TAKES A
MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL
PERSON, AN HOUR TO
APPRECIATE THEM, A DAY
TO LOVE THEM, BUT THEN
AN ENTIRE LIFE
TO FORGET THEM.
SEND THIS TO
THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET.
I JUST DID.
IF YOU DON'T
SEND IT TO ANYONE,
IT MEANS YOU'RE IN A
HURRY AND THAT YOU'VE
FORGOTTEN YOUR FRIENDS.
TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE!
DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS
YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE
WHO YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE !
AND
IF I HAPPEN TO GET IT BACK,
THEN I KNOW MY PLACE IN YOUR LIFE
'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'
....AMEN TO THAT!

This is one of the
Best prayers
I think I have ever read.
PRAY THIS EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!!
IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.
I started not to do this, but as I read it....
I understood God to say,
'You need a miracle tomorrow'
so here goes...Prov. 29:25
You never know
when God is going to bless you!!
Good things happen when
you least expect them to !!!!!!!!
Change the number in the subject box
when you forward it by adding one!!!
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day,
I thank You for my being able to see
and to hear this morning.
I'm blessed because You are
a forgiving God and
an understanding God.
You have done so much for me
and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything
I have done, said or thought
that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe
from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day
with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day
to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind
that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper
over things I have no control over.
And give me the best response
when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray,
You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be
a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted that I may have
words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost
and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged
and misunderstood.
I pray for those who
don't know You intimately.
I pray for those that will delete this
without sharing it with others
I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank You that I believe
that God changes people and
God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
For each and every family member
in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy
in their homes; that they are out of debt
and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this
knows there is no problem, circumstance,
or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received
into the hearts of every eye that sees it
in Jesus' name. Amen!
If you prayed this prayer,
change the number in the subject box
before forwarding the message
so people can see how many
other people have done so.
God Bless ! ! ! ! !
Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves!!
God I love you and I need you,
come into my heart, please.
Pass this message to 10 people except you and me. You will receive a miracle tomorrow.
Don't ignore this and God will bless you.
Know that you are already blessed
by the person who sent this to you.
