Nice to meet you, Suzy's mom. Suzy, you made Ken day by showing up. We
are so happy to see you here with all of us. Now we really have a family
reunite going here!

Alive and well so far!

I am up trying to do things between rain showers.

It's 11:22 pm here in the Greater New Orleans area. So what you feel
like talking about?

I am for boxing being a sport. I much rather see a couple of people in a
ring with gloves on boxing, then on the street killing each other with
knives and guns to prove how tough they are.

Football and hockey you have a gang going after one guy with the ball or
puck. These sports have an few injuries with each practice and game, so
they are no safer then boxing. Basketball you have one on one contact
more and more. If you keep these as sports, so should you with boxing.

I don't know about girls, as I am a woman. And yes, I am hot. I am told
how hot I am everyday. I am told how they would like to please me and
show me how hot I get them!

My pet peeve started where I work. People sitting on the table after
sitting on the floor and after sitting on the bench or stool where their
feet has been. It is hard enough trying to get them to clean up after
themselves and with the place full of staff infections, without them
sitting on the table. Who wants to eat off of someone's butt. I tell
them it is disrespectful of everyone in the cell block.

Muffuletta!

For the olive salad:
1 gallon large pimento stuffed green olives, slightly crushed and well
drained
1 quart jar pickled cauliflower, drained and sliced
2 small jars capers, drained
1 whole stalk celery, sliced diagonally
4 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced diagonally
1 small jar celery seeds
1 small jar oregano
1 large head fresh garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 jar pepperoncini, drained (small salad peppers) left whole
1 pound large Greek black olives
1 jar ****tail onions, drained
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl or pot and mix well. Place in a
large jar and cover with 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 Crisco oil. Store tightly
covered in refrigerator. Allow to marinate for at least 24 hours before
using.

For the sandwich:
1 round loaf italian bread
1/4 pound mortadella, thinly sliced
1/4 pound ham, thinly sliced
1/4 pound hard Genoa salami, thinly sliced
1/4 pound Mozzarella cheese, sliced
1/4 pound Provolone cheese,sliced
1 cup olive salad with oil
Split a muffuletta loaf (Shaped Round) or a loaf of Italian bread
horizontally. Spread each half with equal parts of olive salad and oil.
Place meats and cheeses evenly on bottom half and cover with top half of
bread. Cut in quarters. Enjoy! Especially heated in the oven, the cheese
melted, the meat hot, and the bread slightly crisp before slicing.

The Olive Salad is good eating by itself too!

Another one hits the dust! I wonder how many impersonators will flock to
Hawaii and homage to him. Many years ago my parent had all of his
Hawaiian music albums. Summertime, above ground pool, weekend
barbeque's, and Don Ho music, this was before Luaus became a summertime
thing. Mom was ahead of her time!

On and off while I try to move things from one place to
another!

Little Johnny asks his mother how old she is, and she replies,
"Gentlemen don't ask ladies that question."

Johnny then asks his mother how much she weighs.

Again, she replies, "Gentlemen don't ask ladies that question."

Then, Johnny asks, "Why did Daddy leave you?"

His mother shouts, "Go to your room, young man!"

On the way to his room, Johnny trips over his mother's purse and her
driver's license falls out. He glances at it and then says with a grin,
"I know all about you now...You're 36 years old, weigh 127 pounds, and
Daddy left you because you got an 'F' in sex!"

One of the women with whom I work, Donna, has a son in third grade. Part
of his daily homework is to practice his spelling for his weekly tests.
So, together, Donna and her son go over the words for
the test, both meaning and spelling of the words.

A few weeks ago, her son brought home his test. He scored 97%, missing
only one word. The word was "clock." Part of the test was to use each
spelling list word in a sentence. His sentence? "My dad gave my mom a
clock for her birthday" -- only it seems he'd accidentally omitted the
letter "L."

Donna said there was no comment on the test, just the biggest check mark
she had ever seen.

For me it is a love people and a love of communication. With each
thought or word written there is knowledge being exchanged. Some of the
best things result when people put their minds together, friendship and
relaxation. This is my peace also, because of the hectic world I live.

I am sure glad to see you! I was thinking of you yesterday and wondering
if anyone told you where to find us all.
This party over here is getting better all of the time.

A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation was
just sitting around chatting. Suddenly, the Devil appeared at the front
of the church.

Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling
each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate. Soon the
church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his
pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate
enemy was in his presence.

So the Devil walked up to the man and said, "Do you know who I am?" The
man replied, "Yep, sure do."

"Aren't you afraid of me?" the Devil asked.

"Nope, sure ain't." said the man.

"Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?" asked the Devil.

"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.

"Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying agony for all
eternity?" persisted the Devil.

"Yep," was the calm reply.

"And you're still not afraid?" asked the Devil.

"Nope," said the old man.

More than a little perturbed, the Devil asked, "Why aren't you afraid of
me?"

The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years."

woohoo! Thomas is in the house! Come on in and let the party start. Glad
to see you!

So far, I found that women talk as much as men, but men gossip more. I
seem to run into the men at work that love to start or spread rumors.

Sometimes it is numbness in a one the extremities, like the hand or leg.
Sometimes you have a pain between the shoulder blades. Sometimes a
tightness in the chest. There are many symptoms associated with a heart
attack. Most people don't realize that if you feel symptoms, a regular
aspirin may save your life.

Always call 911 advise them of the address if possible, in case you are
unable to give more information. Even a land-line hangup from your
location will send out police, medical, and fire depts. You may not pay
for home phone service, but plug in a phone anyway, you will still be
able to dial 911 from it for help.

Cell phones sometimes does not go directly to the 911 center that is in
the area you are in, please give your name, location, even if it is a
mile marker on a highway, a description of your vehicle. A cell phone
even with out service can dial 911, so please keep one that is charged
in the vehicle.

If you have a cell phone that you no longer want or need please donate
it you your local sheriff's office. It will go to a program to give cell
phones to the elderly, battered women, and numerous other programs. They
make it so the persons address shows up when they call 911. Example of
why: a elderly person, that can't afford any other type of service, who
has fallen and can't get to a regular phone can dial 911 for help.

For any elderly persons out there please notify your fire department so
that information of where a key can be located is entered on the
emergency service screen, in case you are incompasitated, this will help
emergency personnel can get in to help you.

I know this information because I used to be a 911 operator and train
others. Thank you for reading this.
