Ahat, We're flying, so can't stop by Sevierville. Would have been fun! Missed you at the Weenie Roast. What happened? Suda

Welcome, PaulTony. Enjoy your visit here and have dessert on me. Brownies are a favorite! Come back and see us often! You are welcome at the Cafe! Suda

Thanks for the chuckles!

Well hot dog! Congratulations Raf and Sweetie! Will this be another GreaseSpot wedding? July 6 sounds like it's going to be a wonderful day! Tell us more about your exciting news, Raf. I'm so thrilled for you two! Suda

Okay, Shellon, what do you know? Has Raf got a sweetie we are unaware of? Suda

I second that emotion! Suda

Seems like this would be the June timeframe. Graduating from school again? Got an exciting vacation planned?

Can't be a baby - that countdown would be 300 days maximum. Prelude to a baby?

Hope it's not 310 bottles of beer on the wall we have to drink!

And if you sprinkle when you tinkle Please be neat and wipe the seat!

We all had to learn the mommy stare in Mommy School 101. Think there was a whole chapter devoted just to it!

The new "hot thing" for many churches around here is small groups. This is different from your Sunday School class. It's a group of about 12 or so people that get together, often in each other's homes, once a week to study topics of interest in the Bible. They are also prayer partners. Sounds a lot like home fellowships to me. I attended church for quite a while when my children were young. Was asked to leave, and never found another one I enjoyed. Then a new home fellowship run by former corps started here, and I've been going ever since. But we don't follow the "agenda" posted above. May or may not sing, and if we do there is no hand waving to direct us. May or may not have a "season of prayer". Can't remember the last time there were announcements. Have no leader, or coordinator. We just take turns being the "teacher" sharing what we're studying personally. And we take turns "leading" the meeting. Glad I'm a part of it!

What an exciting day for you and your family. The key for me was to keep my happy face intact and control my tears until they were happily settled in the room and I was well out the door! Fortunately, all my children were excited about going to school. I was the only one who shed tears. And making these into Kodak moments did help tremendously! We took still shots and videos. Let us know all about it! Suda

Ron, Thanks for explaining it to me. You're a sweetie! Suda

Ron and Tom, Help please. Again, I don't get it. On another note, how about "Bacon in the sun"?

Great ride! And think of the many uses for that truck bed (wink, wink!) Suda

Exie is always a hoot in chat! I'm always excited when in see her name on the roster. She's a chat buddy extraordinare! Suda

So glad you posted, I have missed you! Bravo to you for seeking the help you needed. Glad to know that you are improving and back home. My opinion of those with mental illness. Very similar to Rascal. All of us have major obstacles in our lives, and mental illness is just one of those. I see it no differently than anything else. You are a strong, intelligent woman. Keep doing what you need to heal. My hat's off to you! Suda

Received this e-mail warning from a friend. Don't know if it's truth or legend, but thought I'd pass it on in case it could be helpful to any of you. I dialed '0' and asked the operator who confirmed that this was correct so please pass it on. PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. I received a telephone call last evening from an individual identifying himself as an AT&T Service Technician (could also be Telus) who was conducting a test on the telephone lines. He stated that to complete the test I should touch nine(9), zero(0), the pound sign (#), and then hang up. Luckily, I was suspicious and refused. Upon contacting the telephone company, I was informed that by pushing 90#, you give the requesting idividual full access to your Telephone line, which enables them to place long distance calls billed to your home Phone number. I was further informed that this scam has been originating from many local jails/prisons. DO NOT press 90# for ANYONE. The GTE Security Department requested that I share this information with EVERYONE I KNOW. After checking with Verizon they said it was true, so do not dial 90# for anyone !!!!! PLEASE HIT THAT FORWARD BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust."

Church Smiles There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. "Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk. "Only the Ten Commandments," answered the lady. A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses." When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation." There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets." A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him in front of the service station. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. "Reverend," said the young man, "sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip." The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business." People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention. A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!" His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means?" The son replied, "I do know!" "Okay, said his father. "So, son, what does the Bible mean?" "That's easy, Daddy. It stands for 'Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.'" Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt." Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming." Give me a sense of humor, Lord, Give me the grace to see a joke, To get some humor out of life, And pass it on to other folk.

An elderly couple were driving across the country. The woman was driving when she got pulled over by the highway patrol. The officer said, "Ma'am did you know you were speeding?" The woman, hard of hearing, turned to her husband and asked, "What did he say?" The old man yelled, "He says you were speeding!" The patrolman said, "May I see your license?" The woman turned to her husband once again and asked, "What did he say?" The old man yelled, "He wants to see your license!" The woman gave the officer her license. The patrolman then said, "I see you are from Arkansas. I spent some time there once and went on a blind date with the ugliest woman I've ever seen." The woman turned to her husband and asked, "What did he say?" The old man yells, "He said he thinks he knows you!".

We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads. So I'm not fat, I'm just really intelligent and my head couldn't hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Happy birthday fellow chatter! Hope your day is all you wish for! Suda
