Four generations of McEntires

Aches and pains

This 70 year old man went to the doctor and told him that his left leg was hurting. After a series of test and x-rays the doctor could not find any physical condition that would cause the problem, so he told the old man it was just old age. The man replied that it was'nt old age. The doctor said the test showed nothing physically wrong, and asked why he thought it was'nt old age. The old man's reply was " there is nothing wrong with my right leg, and it's the same age as the left one."

Rain, rain go away
Little Johnny wants to play
Come again some other day

This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Ps. 118:24
This is about the 10th day in a row that we have had rain. I'm sure that we would all like to see some sunshine. We really don't like this cold, rainy, dreary weather. But you know that not many months from now we will be complaining that it's to hot and dry. We just never seem to be satisfied with the weather. After complaining today about the weather, I thought about this verse in Psalms. This is the day that the Lord has made. We should be thankful for it. There are a lot of people that can't even get out of bed to go outside. I just thought of the old saying "I complained because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet". Let's just sit back and enjoy the day that God has made.

This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, in retaliation for the execution of Saddam Hussein, warned the United States that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers. And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell and AOL customer service technicians and Motel 6 managers.

It's really beginning to get ugly!

This global warming is terrible. No school today, so I just sit at home all day with my sweetheart and enjoyed every second of it. Talked to Jeff this morning. He said all of the trees around his house had ice forming on them. Jason worked last night, so I haven't gotten a weather report from Athens.


There was once a snail who was sick and tired of his reputation for being so slow. He decided to get some fast wheels to make up the difference. After shopping around a while, he decided that the Datson 240-Z was the car to get. So the snail goes to the nearest Datsun dealer and says he wants to buy the 240-Z, but he wants it repainted "240-S".The dealer asks, "Why 'S'?"The snail replies, "'S' stands for snail. I want everybody who sees me roaring past to know who's driving."Well, the dealer doesn't want to lose the unique opportunity to sell a car to a snail, so he agrees to have the car repainted for a small fee.The snail gets his new car and spent the rest of his days roaring happily down the highway at top speed. And whenever anyone would see him zooming by, they'd say "Wow! Look at that S-car go!"

MY SOAPBOX FOR THE DAY

Hello I'm back.

Soapbox #1


I don't understand why we the American people, through voting, hire someone to do a job and then allow him or her to spend the time in office campainging for a higher office. I see governers and senators that will spend the next two years campainging for the office of president. I think when they are elected they should have to sign a contract, that they would either resign or wait until their term expires to run for a higher office. I worked 27 years for Dow Chem. Can you imagine if I told my supervisor that I wanted to take off 2 years, with pay, to look for another job. I'm sure that they would give me the rest of my life off without pay in order to find another job. We as voters should demand that our elected officials fullfil the job they were elected to do.
I voted for and support President Bush, but he spent the last 2 years as governor campainging for president and not doing the job he was elected to do.

Soapbox #2

Nancy Pelosi said that when the Dems. took control of the house they would begin working 5 days a week instead of 3 days a week. I'm not sure that we, as tax payers, could afford to have them to work more than 3 days a week. But back to the issue. One of the first things that the speaker did was give congress a day off to watch the national football championship game. Sounds like the old indian saying "the speaker speaks with a forked tongue". Did anyone out there get that day off, except for our overpaid congress.
