“Cash, check or charge?” the cashier asked after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As the woman fumbled for her wallet, the cashier noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. “Do you always carry your TV remote?” the cashier asked. “No,” she replied. “But my husband refused to come shopping with me, so I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him.”

I enjoy money as much as the next person (and understand how important it can be), but I’m incredibly grateful that my family essentially had none of it when I was growing up.
The reality is that wealth tends to change our focus. When you have money, life seems to center on what it can buy, what it can do, who it can impress or influence, and what has to be done to obtain more of it.
I grew up dirt poor. My father disappeared to the next town over to start a new life with a new family when I was very young. We were better off without him. His only form of “parenting” was the government garnishing his wages each week for his measly child support payment.
My mom was left to raise three small children in a tiny trailer. She worked two or three jobs at a time to pay the necessary bills and to put food on our table. There were days we didn’t have electricity or heat because we couldn’t afford it. Many times, dinner consisted of a mystery can of something-or-other we found at the back of the cabinet or whatever our food stamps could buy. Powdered milk and Spam were staples at our house—when we could afford them—and frozen TV dinners and pizzas were considered “special occasion” foods.
As children, we felt lucky when our house payment could be paid; the threat of being kicked out of our home was delayed for another month. We were excited when our junker of a car started, when our Goodwill-sourced home items actually worked, or our hand-medown clothes didn’t have holes. New clothes were unheard of, but if by chance we had to purchase something new, we suffered in other areas of our lives to make up the difference.
This must sound like a nightmare. To me, though, it was the best experience, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Why? Because our focus was family, not material objects.
My family didn’t go out to fancy dinners, shows, or plays. Our entertainment was to turn on the stereo my dad left behind and dance together in the living room to scratched Elvis records. On weekend mornings we gathered on my mom’s bed and talked for hours, or sat chatting at the dinner table long after we stopped eating. The laughter, fun, and happiness in those moments with my mom, older brother and sister are some of the best memories I have. We didn’t have much, but we were healthy, happy, cared for, and, above all else, we knew we were loved beyond reason. We were together. “Our focus was family, not material objects.”
When I talk about my family openly, I receive strange looks. People don’t understand how close-knit we are. It took until my mid-twenties for me to realize not every family is like mine. Our lack of money made us depend on each other, appreciate respect, and support one another.
Kids don’t need the overabundance of junk saturating the market. What kids need is engaged parenting. Don’t simply tell your kids you love them, but prove it to them. Show them your love by being involved in their lives, actively communicating with them, participating in their activities, and being there for them.
It astounds me when I’m out to eat and I notice families and friends sitting at tables, shoveling unappreciated food into their mouths while their noses are buried in their cell phones. Set the phone down, look up, and enjoy the people you surround yourself with—the life you created—before it passes you by.
Money makes the world go round, but it can’t replace affection, guidance, support, and love. Money can’t teach respect, hard work, or appreciation. The poorest person supposedly has nothing, but if they have the aforementioned, they have everything that counts. (by J.M. Paul)

New Golf Terminology
Four senior men went into the pro shop after playing 18 holes of golf. The pro asked, “Did you guys have a good game today?” The first old guy said, “Yes, I had three riders today.” The second old guy said, “I had the most riders ever. I had five.” The third old guy said, “I had 7 riders, the same as last time.” The last old man said, “I beat my old record. I had 12 riders today.” ‘
After they went into the locker room, another golfer who had heard the old guys talking about their game went to the pro and said, “I have been playing golf for a long time and thought I knew all the terminology of the game, but what’s a rider?” The pro said, “A rider is when you hit the ball far enough to get in the golf cart and ride to it.”

Contented Married Life
A man was telling one of his friends the secret of his contented married life, “My wife makes all the small decisions,” he explained, “and I make all the big ones, so we never interfere in each other’s business and never get annoyed with each other. We have no complaints and no arguments.”
“That sounds reasonable,” answered his friend sympathetically. “And what sort of decisions does your wife make?”
“Well,” answered the man, “she decides what jobs I apply for, what sort of house we live in, what furniture we have, where we go for our holidays, and things like that.”
His friend was surprised. “Oh?” he said. “And what do you consider important decisions then?”
“Well,” answered the man, “I decide who should be our President, whether we should increase our help to poor countries, what we should do about the nuclear bomb, and things like that.”

The Senility Prayer
God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones that I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.
Now that I’m older (but refuse to grow up) here’s what I’ve discovered… ONE – I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it. TWO – My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran. THREE – I finally got my head together now my body is falling apart. FOUR – Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded. FIVE – All reports are in, life is now officially unfair. SIX – If all is not lost, where is it? SEVEN – It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser. EIGHT – Some days you are the dog, some days you’re the hydrant. NINE – I wish the buck stopped here, I sure could use a few.
TEN – Kids in the back seat cause accidents. ELEVEN – Accidents in the back seat cause kids. TWELVE – It’s hard to make a comeback when you haven’t been anywhere. THIRTEEN – The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you’re in the bathroom. FOURTEEN – If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees. FIFTEEN – When I’m finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess? SIXTEEN – It’s not hard to meet expenses…they’re everywhere. SEVENTEEN – The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. EIGHTEEN – These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter…I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I’m here after.

“The Paper With A Hometown Flavor”
Toilet-Squatting Exercise Class
My mother was a fanatic about public toilets.
As a little girl, she’d bring me in the stall, teach me to wad up toilet paper and wipe the seat. Then, she’d carefully lay strips of toilet paper to cover the seat. Finally, she’d instruct, “Never, never sit on a public toilet seat.”
And she’d demonstrate “The Stance,” which consisted of balancing over the toilet in a sitting position without actually letting any of your flesh make contact with the toilet seat. But by this time, I’d have wet down my leg. And we’d go home.
That was a long time ago. Even now in our more mature years, The Stance is excruciatingly difficult to maintain when one’s bladder is especially full. When you have to “go” in a public bathroom, you find a line of women that makes you think there’s a half-price sale on Mel Gibson’s underwear in there. So, you wait and smile politely at all the other ladies, also crossing their legs and smiling politely. And you finally get closer. You check for feet under the stall doors. Every one is occupied.
Finally, a stall door opens and you dash, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall. You get in to find the door won’t latch. It doesn’t matter. You hang your purse on the door hook, yank down your pants and assume “The Stance.” Relief. More relief.
Then your thighs begin to shake. You’d love to sit down but you certainly hadn’t taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold The Stance as your thighs experience a quake that would register an eight on the Richter scale.
To take your mind off it, you reach for the toilet paper. The toilet paper dispenser is empty. Your thighs shake more. You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on that’s in your purse. It would have to do. You crumble it in the puffiest way possible. It is still smaller than your thumbnail.
Someone pushes open your stall door because the latch doesn’t work and your purse whams you in the head. “Occupied!” you scream as you reach out for the door, dropping your tissue in a puddle and falling backward, directly onto the toilet seat.
You get up quickly, but it’s too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with all the germs and life forms on the bare seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper, not that there was any, even if you had enough time to. And your mother would be utterly ashamed of you if she knew, because her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, “You don’t know what kind of diseases you could get.”
And by this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, sending up a stream of water akin to
a fountain and then it suddenly sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged to China. At that point, you give up. You’re soaked by the splashing water. You’re exhausted. You try to wipe with a Chicklet wrapper you found in your pocket, then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.
You can’t figure out how to operate the sinks with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past a line of women, still waiting, cross-legged and unable to smile politely at this point. One kind soul at the very end of the line points out that you are trailing a piece of toilet paper on your shoe as long as the Mississippi River!
You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in the woman’s hand and say warmly, “Here. You might need this.”
At this time, you see your spouse, who has entered, used and exited his bathroom and read a copy of War and Peace while waiting for you. “What took you so long?” he asks, annoyed.
This is when you kick him sharply in the shin and go home.

What a talent....
A family was visiting an Indian reservation when they happened upon an old tribesman lying face down in the middle of the road with his ear pressed firmly against the blacktop.
The father of the family asked the old tribesman what he was doing. The tribesman began to speak...”woman, late thirties, three kids, one barking dog in late model, white, four-door station wagon, traveling at 65 m.p.h.
“That’s amazing!” exclaimed the father. “You can tell all that just by listening to the ground?”
“No,” said the old tribesman, weakly. “They just ran over me five minutes ago!”

A couple was dressed and ready to go out for the evening. They turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on the phone line, covered their pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard. They phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and the couple opened the front door to leave their house.
The cat they had put out into the yard scoots back into the house. They don’t want the cat shut in the house because “she” always tries to eat the bird. The wife goes out to the taxi while the husband goes inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, the man in hot pursuit. The wife doesn’t want the driver to know the house will be empty. She explains to the taxi driver that her husband will be out soon. “He’s just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother.”
A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab. “Sorry I took so long,” he says, as they drive away. “She was hiding under the bed. Had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked. I hauled her fat butt downstairs and threw her out into the backyard!” The cabdriver hit a parked car...

Touring South America
A tourist is traveling with a guide through one of the thickest jungles in South America, when he comes across an ancient Mayan temple. The tourist is entranced by the temple, and asks the guide for details. To this, the guide states that archaeologists are carrying out excavations, and still finding great treasures. The tourist then queries how old the temple is.
“This temple is 1503 years old”, replies the guide. Impressed at this accurate dating, he inquires as to how he gave this precise figure.
“Easy”, replies the guide, “the archaeologists said the temple was 1500 years old, and that was three years ago”

Three young boys were fighting over whose dad was the best.

Chuckle for the day
The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they should not interfere with God’s divine will. At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistry. The deacons met and decided to put a waterslide on the baptistry and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later, the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the waterslide.
The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.
But the Catholic church came up with a more creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven’t seen a squirrel since.

Poor as a church mouse.’ ‘Well, then, is she good in the romance department?’ ‘I don’t know.’ ‘Why in the world do you want to marry her then?’ ‘Because she can still drive!’

Those little white lies
Have you ever told a white lie? If so, you are going to love this -- especially all the ladies who bake for church events.
Alice was to bake a cake for the church ladies’ group bake sale, but she forgot to do it until the last minute. She baked an angel food cake and when she took it from the oven, the center had dropped flat.
She said, “Oh dear, there’s no time to bake another cake.”
So, she looked around the house for something to build up the center of the cake. Alice found it in the bathroom ... a roll of toilet paper.
She plunked it in and covered it with icing. The finished product looked beautiful, so she rushed it to the church.
Before she left the house, Alice had given her daughter some money and specific instructions to be at the bake sale the minute it opened, and to buy that cake and bring it home.
When the daughter arrived at the sale, the attractive cake had already been sold. Alice was beside herself.
The next day, Alice was invited to a friend’s home where two tables of bridge were to be played that afternoon.
After the game, a fancy lunch was served, and to top it off, the cake in question was presented for dessert.
Alice saw the cake, she started to get out of her chair to rush into the kitchen to tell her hostess all about it, but before she could get to her feet, one of the other ladies said, “What a beautiful cake!”
Alice sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess (who was a prominent church member) say, “Thank you, I baked it myself!

Circle Flies
A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable.
Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.
The farmer said, “Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?”
The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said-- “Well yeah, if that’s what they are-- I never heard of circle flies”.
So the farmer says-- “Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they’re called circle flies because they’re almost always found circling around the back end of a horse.”
The trooper says, “Oh,” and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, “Hey...wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horses back end?”
The farmer says, “Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horses back end.”
The trooper says, “Well, that’s a good thing,” and goes back to writing the ticket.

How far ants travel for food
Unlike humans, ants have the ability to travel long distances to find food. The average worker ant will travel over 250 miles in their lifetime. Depending on the species, ants can also travel up to 4 miles in a single day.
The ant’s ability to travel long distances is based on a number of factors, including their ability to detect chemicals on the ground. These chemicals act as a signal to other ants. In addition, ants can use their sense of smell to determine which direction they need to go.
In the United States, the average distance a hormigas culona (a big-butt ant) travels is about 3000 feet. They are also known to be quite fast, and can cover up to 900 feet in just 60 minutes.
The carpenter ant uses landmarks to find food, as well as memory of the entire landscape in which it lives. In addition, some species of ants create massive networks of connected tunnels.

Aside from the usual suspects, ants also utilize pheromones to signal other ants where to go. A pheromone is a chemical signal that helps other ants find their way to food. When ants leave their nest to find food, they leave a pheromone trail behind. The trail is then followed by other ants. As the pheromones accumulate, the trail gets stronger. This signal is also used to help other ants return to their nest.
While there is no exact way to figure out how far ants travel for food, a rough estimate is that they can travel up to a mile in a single day. They will also travel for water and to escape predators.

Why women are so bright
We got off the Titanic first. We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses. We don’t look like a frog in a blender when dancing. We don’t have to pass gas to amuse ourselves. If we forget to shave, no one has to know. We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there. We have the ability to dress ourselves. We can talk to people of the opposite sex without having to picture them naked. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we’re aware that we look like an idiot. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems. We’ll never regret piercing our ears. We can fully assess a person just by looking at their shoes. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence, because they aren’t listening anyway.
