2] Strange and/or Relevant Questions I have Received!

Q: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to see it, do the other trees make fun of it?
A: Yes, but only if it fails to pick up the penny lying by its roots.

3] General News!

from Sig and Sandy: "ROYAL PROCLAMATION!

Hear ye hear ye,

On this date, March 15 in the year of our Lord 2009, a decision has been made.

Sig and Sandy Moser, (the oldest ones in this pack of fools) as hosts of the "Annual Christmas Celebration" have reached a consensus of two (and we are unanimous in this). As of March 31, 2009, no further money will be raised for Christmas Dinner!! Whatever is in the "Dinner" fund, (Jan and March) will be what we have to work with for Christmas dinner. If we end up with turkey and grilled cheese sandwiches and glasses of water... so be it!! We have decided it's WAY more fun to steal (oops) redirect lost money, to Charity, than to our our dinner table. We can in fact afford to feed you. We think it will be fun to see if we CAN produce Christmas dinner with whatever is in the pot. (note to self...start looking for turkeys on sale soon). There will be no debate on this matter. The remaining months of the year will all be directed to Charity, so get out there!! So say we."

On way back to school stopped there for stuff to take home found a dime on the floor by the till YAHOO!!!!!! was so excited holding it in my hand carrying stuff out then lost the dime before I got to the car. Found a penny after that so only ended up with a 6 cents haul instead of 16 cents. Found 50 cents by the dumpster today at school tho so spirits better for a friday the 13th second in a row. So my total for the week is 56 cents!"
