And Tim Tebow was released by the Jets.

God would be furious at the Jets if he wasn't to busy laughing at them along with everbody else

Wow, Willie Nelson is 80 today???

(CNN) -- The United States believes Israel has conducted an airstrike into Syria, two U.S. officials tell CNN.

U.S. and Western intelligence agencies are reviewing classified data showing Israel most likely conducted a strike in the Thursday-Friday time frame, according to both officials. This is the same time frame that the U.S. collected additional data showing Israel was flying a high number of warplanes over Lebanon.

Becky called me today and told me that at Dylan's 6 mo check up she said that he is advanced with his motor skills. At 6 months he is doing things that 9 months old do.

I wonder if anybody will pick him up, I feel bad for the guy. The Jets screwed him over from the get-go. I knew from the beginning the whole Sanchez/Tebow thing was going to end in disaster.

Just so you know, I'll be away for a week. But I'll still check in now and then, so be good!

I will boss

Enjoy your break..

Yes, there is a huge state beyond New York City and it is called Upstate New York.

It has some beautiful large cities and is also full of MANY, MANY small towns and abundant farm land which we call Rural New York.

Here is someone's take on "Rural New York" and it's quite accurate.


THE RULES OF RURAL NEW YORK ARE AS FOLLOWS: Listen up City Slickers!

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Turn your cap around straight... Your head isn't crooked.

3. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'dirt road' No matter how slow you drive, you're going to
get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way. I drive a pickup truck because I want to.

4. They are cattle. They're live steaks. That's why they smell funny to you. But they smell like money to us.
Get over it. Don't like it? I-90 and I-81 go west and south... Use em.

5. So you have a $60,000 car... We're impressed. We have $250,000 combines... To harvest corn and soybeans that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

6. So every person in rural New York waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

7. If that cell phone rings while an 8-point buck and 3 does are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

8. Yeah, we eat meat, taters and gravy, beans and biscuits, and homemade pie. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available down at Jim's bait shop.

9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.

11. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order steak or chicken. Or, you can order the
Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.

12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices...salt, pepper, and ketchup. Oh, yeah... We don't care what you folks in Chicago call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI !!

13. You bring 'coke' into my house... It better be brown, wet and served over ice.

14. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long blonde hair.

15. The Syracuse Orangemen and high school football are as important here as the Giants and the Jets and more fun to watch.

16. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards... It spooks the fish.

17. Colleges? We have them all over. We have Cornell University, Ithaca College, Syracuse U., Colgate, the SUNY system, Community Colleges, and Voc-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and Country, and they still wave to everybody when they come home for the holidays.

18. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump junk ain't music anyway. We don't want to hear it any more than we want to see your boxers. (Refer back to #1.)

19. Four inches of snow isn't a blizzard... it's a flurry. Drive in it like you got some sense, and DON'T take all our bread, milk, and eggs off the grocery shelves. This ain't Alaska! Worst case... You may have to live a whole day without croissants. Anyway... The pickups with snowplows will have you out the next day.

20. If you've never been here, come visit our friendly folks and enjoy our spectacular scenery... Lakes, farmland, great fishing and hunting, wineries, museums, lots of history. Take a boat ride on the Erie Canal. Check out Niagara Falls and the Adirondacks and Catskill Mountains.

21. By the way, if you want to talk to God in Upstate New York... it's a local call.



HAVE A GREAT DAY! FROM RURAL NEW YORK WITH LOVE...

Good Stuff FS. I lived in Downstate NY for most of my 63 years. NY is probably the most diverse state in the the USA when you consider the tip of Long Island, through NYC and up to the Canadian border past Plattsburgh or out to Buffalo and Niagra Falls. The Empire State. I miss it.....sometimes.

Yes, you are right...there is more then just New York City in New York State. A lot more!

Well, the semester's over. Casualties: 1 student expelled for cellphone use; two received Fs for plagiarism. The beat goes on.

What was the subject matter if we may ask?
and how many students? How old?

Today email - funny:

EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT CATHOLIC, THIS IS EYE OPENING ...

When the Catholic Church was founded, there were no hospitals. Today, one out of five people in this country receive their medical care at a Catholic hospital.

When the Catholic Church was founded, there were no schools. Today, the Catholic Church teaches 3 million students a day, in its more than 250 Catholic Colleges and Universities, in its more than 1200 Catholic High Schools and its more than 5000 Catholic grade schools.

Every day, the Catholic Church feeds, clothes, shelters and educates more people than any other organization in the world.

The new Obama Health Mandate could end all this and the tax payers would have to make up the loss.

Also, all Catholic adoption services would come to an end; a human disaster.

There are more than 77 million Catholics in this country. It takes an estimated 50 million Catholic votes to elect a president. I am asking all of you to go to the polls in 2014 and be united in replacing all Senators and Reps with someone who will respect the Catholic Church, all Christians, and all Religions with the exception of Islam.

Mr. President, you said, "The USA is not a Christian Nation". You are wrong we are a Christian Nation founded on Judeo-Christian values allowing all religions in America to Worship & Practice Freely. Something Islam will never do.

Oh, by the way, on MUSLIM HERITAGE IN America...

Have you ever been to a Muslim hospital?

Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?

Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade?

Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?

Have you seen Muslims shaking hands with a Muslim Girl Scouts?

Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?

Have you ever seen a Muslim do anything that contributes positively to the American way of life?

Texas State and Local Government; 60; typical college age.

Did you guys hear of the lady handcuffed and escorted off an airplane because she would not stop singing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You?" Even as she's leaving the plane. Ha ha ha. Can you imagine? I heard on the news that she's blaming her diabetes?

(CNN) -- Actress Angelina Jolie announced in a New York Times op-ed article on Tuesday that she underwent a preventive double mastectomy after learning she carries a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which sharply increases her risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

I wonder if Brad Pitt is being kept abrest of the situation.

Boy, that is one hell of a thing to deal with, but you see it more and more out there. Angelina Jolie fame just brings it out to the news front. Many women have taken that same step to prevent it...Christina Applegate I think also did the same thing if I am not mistaken-

on another note:

and I take DT's comment as a joke...
I will add....rumor has it that Brad has them bronzed and mounted. The breasts that is.

Not really a Jolie fan, but my heart goes out to her. What a horrible decision to have to make. I can only imagine what she went thru. Same for Christina Applegate who went thru the same procedure.

Take a look at this; it's cool:

Interesting/clever Oli. I wouldn't have picked up on any of them.




TIS

They pay a firm major $$ for them.

My mother is an ovarian cancer survivor and tested positive for the BRCA2 gene. I was tested and luckily don't have it. I felt like I dodged a bullet. When you have the cancer mutation, your chances of developing either breast or ovarian cancer increase dramatically. I'm guessing that a hysterectomy may be her next step.

Here are some more sinister subliminal messages their laughable but still interesting.

Oops, I did it again!

Televangelist Pat Robertson is under fire once again after telling the wife of a cheating husband to get over the infidelity and provide a better home so he doesn't "wander."

Robertson was responding to a letter from a woman identified as Ivy during Wednesday's episode of "The 700 Club." Ivy wrote, "We have gone to counseling, but I just can't seem to forgive, nor can I trust. How do you let go of the anger? How do you trust again?

Robertson's co-host began to answer the letter when the one-time Republican presidential hopeful interjected with the "secret" to getting past the cheating.

"Stop talking about the cheating. He cheated on you. Well, he's a man. O.K.," Robertson said.

Robertson suggested the wife forget about the incident and focus on why she married her husband in the first place, advising she try to fall in love with him again. The televangelist rolled out a series of questions for Ivy to think about.

I guess adultery isn't a sin for men unless they're gay. But consider the source. Pat Robertson, who claimed last year that God spoke to him directly and said that Romney was going to defeat Obama in the presidential election, recently warned his silly followers not to fall for false prophets.

On this date in 1954 the Supreme Court issued the decision in Brown v. Board of Education, overturning the separate but equal doctrine in Plessy.

Pat Robertson is a moron, as is anyone who sends him a penny, so I guess there are plenty of morons out there!

Klyd, it's amazing how those cases stick with you. They are so ingrained in my head that as I read your post, I mentally added the words "of Topeka, Kansas".
