Did you know that - at some point in time (cannot presently tell you what year it was) a Federal law was passed that requires the price at gas pumps to have the nine-tenths of a cent added...? It is actually illegal for it to not be included. The mechanical workings of every gas pump in the U.S.A. are designed around it - by law.

'Alan decided to go skiing with his buddy, Chris.
So, they loaded up Alan's minivan and headed north.

After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard.
So, they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.

'I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed,' she explained, 'and I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house.'

'Don't worry,' Alan said. 'We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light.'
The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.

Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.
But about nine months later, Alan got an unexpected letter from an attorney.

It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on their skiing weekend.

He dropped in on his friend Chris and asked, "Chris, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our skiing holiday about 9 months ago?"

'Yes, I do,' said Chris.
'Did you get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?'

'Well, yes!' Chris said, a little embarrassed about being found out, 'I have to admit that I did.'
'And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?'

Chris's face turned beet red and he said, 'Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did.' 'Why do you ask?'
'She just died and left me everything.!!'

Reminds me of a song my dad used to sing:

My sister fell out the window
We thought that her head would be split
But instead of her skull meeting concrete
She fell in a puddle of...

Shaving cream
Be nice and clean
Shave every day
And you'll always be clean

The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers.
Suzie stood and walked to the podium.
She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Phil, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."
You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagine the pain that poor Phil must have experienced.
"Phil was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain." We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Phil's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."
Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Phil.
"Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Phil is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely."
All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.
A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.
He said, "I'm Phil." The entire congregation held its breath.
"I just want to tell my wife the word is sternum."

I wish I took pictures of how I painted my house a few years ago. Picture multiple sawhorses with plants on them with ladders on top of them -- rope tied to attentia on the roof with a harnest on me.

Google woodworking bloopers I do not have sound on my Computer.

How to Make Sawdust
"Sand a piece of sample wood that matches the project material. A sander with a collection bag makes it easy to collect the sawdust, but using a file, rasp, or sanding by hand will also make perfectly usable sawdust if you don't have a power sander. "

I followed your directions for making sawdust, but all I got was cellulose powder. As cellulose powder is an essential ingredient listed on bags of shredded cheese, I'm not sure what to do now. Should I sell it to Kraft? Please advise.
