Blind Clerk

A woman goes into Cabela’s to buy a rod and reel for her grandson’s birthday. She doesn’t know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter.

A Cabela’s associate is standing there wearing dark shades. She says, “Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?”

He says, “Ma’am, I’m completely blind; but if you’ll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes..”

She doesn’t believe him but drops it on the counter anyway.

He says, “That’s a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-LB. test line. It’s a good all around combination
and it’s on sale this week for only $20.00.”

She says, “It’s amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I’ll take it!”

As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor.

“Oh, that sounds like a Master Card,” he says.

She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts. At first she is really embarrassed, but then she realizes there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was she who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn’t know that she was the only person around.

The man rings up the sale and says, “That’ll be $34.50 please.”

The woman is totally confused by this and asks, “Didn’t you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20.00? How did you get $34.50?”

He replies, “Yes ma’am. The rod and reel is $20.00, but the duck call is $11.00 and the catfish bait is $3.50.”

Xanax and ultimate stupidity!!

OMG… I can’t believe my eyes and ears. Can you believe the news story about the 200lb chimp who’s owner fed the damn monkey XANAX???? This INFURIATES ME TO NO END!!

Yes, according to reports the monkey had been sick…..

Investigators said they were also told that Travis had Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness with flu-like symptoms that can lead to arthritis and meningitis in humans.

BUT…… what made this person think that they could just drug a monkey with medications (mind altering drugs) that were not prescribed for the chimp???

Police said that the chimp was agitated earlier Monday and that Herold had given him the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in some tea. Police said the drug had not been prescribed for the 14-year-old chimp.

There is actually a video out titled…… Still Not Clear What Triggered Chimp Attack …….. uhhh HELLO? Lets see…. the chimp has Lyme disease and didn’t feel good in the first place, so hey lets give the monkey some benzos. Who knows how long this idiot has bee giving the chimp Xanax??? It would be totally different if it was prescribed for the chimp…. but IT WASN’T!

HOW MANY WAYS CAN YOU SPELL S T U P I D ??

My prayers go out to the person who is now missing a face because of this chimp.

The full story is here ……. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090218/ap_on_re_us/chimpanzee_attack

Benzos, Ignorant Doctors, and Money Hungry Pharmaceutical Companies

This is just sickening. It’s time for people to educated themselves and SPEAK UP!! There are SO MANY MORE videos like this!!

I do not endorse buying this book she has, but it really makes you wonder how many other drug reps are aware of what is going on and don’t care?

I Refuse to be Discouraged

I Refuse to Be Discouraged
I refuse to be discouraged,
To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted,
And here’s the reason why . . .
I have a God who’s mighty,
Who’s sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who love me,
And I am on His team.
He is all wise and powerful,
Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable,
My God remains the same.
My God knows all that’s happening,
Beginning to end.
His presence is my comfort,
He is my dearest friend.

When sickness comes to weaken me,
To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God;
Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten
To rob me from my peace,
He draws me close unto His breast,
Where all my strivings cease.
And when my heart melts within me,
And weakness takes control,
He gathers me into His arms,
He soothes my heart and soul.
The great “I AM” is with me,
My life is in His hands,
The “Son of the Lord” is my hope,
It’s in His strength I stand.

I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me,
As through this life I trod.
I’m looking past all my circumstances,
To Heaven’s throne above;
My prayers have reached the heart of God,
I’m resting in His love.
I give God thanks in everything,
My eyes are on his face;
The battle’s His, the victory is mine;
He’ll help me win the race.

Food for Thought

 I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work,
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
My Christian duty was now done.
My soul could rest at ease…
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer,
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They’d laugh a at me I’d fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need,
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God Held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said,
“Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down…
But never found the time”.

Guidance

I received this in an email forward and I wanted to share with anyone who visits!  I think this is really pretty!!

Dancing With God

When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn’t flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.

One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw “G”: I thought of God, followed by “u” and “i”.
“God, “u” and “i” dance.”
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.

My prayer for you today is that God’s blessings
and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.

This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life,
please share this message with someone else.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
so let’s continue to pray for one another.

And I Hope You Dance!!
