A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled. A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS." The agent replied, "I'm sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?" Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention please," she began her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14." With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth and swore. "F*** you!" Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to get in line for that, too."

I’ll have

to remember that one, as I’m the “computer guy” and I had some users with an id

10 t error yesterday. I had to walk over there 4 times to fix their spreadsheet

each time they made a change to it. These ladies (in our direct mail department),

work on Excel everyday, yet they refuse to learn how to use it. I have written

menus, etc. so that everything is as automated as can be, but I wish they would

take a little time to figure things out before they call me sometimes. Don’t

get me wrong, I actually like all of them, but they’re a little trying now and

then. I guess if they knew too much, I would be out of a job. J

Young

Judy was having trouble with her computer, so she called Jim, the

computer guy, over to her desk.

Jim clicked a couple buttons and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, Judy called after him, " So, what was wrong? "

And he replied, " It was an ID Ten T Error. "

A puzzled expression ran riot over Judy's face.

" An ID Ten T Error? What's that ... in case I need to fix it

again?? "

He gave her a grin... " Haven't you ever heard of an ID Ten T Error

before? "

" No, " replied Judy.

" Write it down, " he said, " and I think you'll figure it

out. "

ONE MANS PERSPECTIVE ON

CYBER SEX

Let's face it after 28 years of a happy

marriage, there's no way I'm going to cheat on my wife. But if you ever sense

you may be getting tempted to stray, don't do it! There is a safe alternative.

I suggest a visit to your favorite Chat Room where

you can engage in some of that Cyber Sex stuff; I just found out about this

last night! I was on AOL and I went to this Chat Room. It was named something

suggestive, but I can't remember which one it was. It was, " Horny and

Bald, " or something like that.

OK, so I get in there and, man, these people are

talking some real crap back and forth. I can't believe it!

Somebody asks, " What's everyone wearing? "

And everyone starts responding about what they're

wearing. Girls were saying they were wearing silk nighties, leather and lace,

or nothing at all -- spikes, all kinds of kinky stuff!!

Well hell, I was just wearing a T-shirt and blue

jeans, and I sort of felt out of place. So I hurried up and put on a jock strap,

my wife's bra, roller blades, ear muffs, and a ring of bratwurst around my

neck.

I finally realize that certain people are asking

other certain people if they want to go to a private room and have Cyber Sex. I

wasn't quite sure how this whole thing worked, so I asked. Some members of the

group explained that you could send another person in the room a private

message, and then go to a private room and two members could talk back and

forth without anyone else knowing, and that's how you have Cyber Sex. WAY

COOL!!!

OK, so I'm waiting, and one by one I keep seeing

people ask other people if they want to have Cyber Sex, and they say yeah,

" IM me. " I found out that " IM " means Instant Message or

something like that.

OK, so I wait some more, 'cause I know some really

hot cyber chic babe is going to be asking me to have some private cyber sex any

minute now. Well, I'm waiting and waiting... and nothing. I'm thinking, these

hot ! chics mu st somehow know that I'm a former police officer whose starting

to lose my hair. My stomach has gotten so big I haven't been able to find my

navel in two years.

They must know that I've been married 28 years,

have three kids, and sometimes when I have a choice of making love to my wife

or taking a nap, I choose the nap. Hey, I figure I can get some sleep and dream

about having sex and kill two birds with one stone. I'm 48 and I'm at that

point where my wife makes me have sex at least once a month whether I need to

or not.

I'm thinking this Cyber Sex thing will be great

because I won't have to get out of breath or get up in the middle to go pee or

anything.

But no one sends me an invitation to join them.

Then I got a brain storm. I wondered if I could send myself a private message.

So I tried it, and sure enough I could! So I sent a message to myself asking me

if I wanted to have Cyber Sex. Well, trying to act coy, I reluctantly agreed.

Once I was in the private room I started telling

myself what I was wearing... you know ear muffs, roller blades, and all.

Then the next thing I knew I was saying some really

lewd stuff to myself. Man, at first I was really embarrassed and on some level

offended by the things I was saying to me. But the next thing I knew I was

really starting to get turned on.

I was saying things to myself like, " Oh yeah,

oh yeah baby, that's it, that's the way I like it, you're the king, you're the

king, oh you're a greek god, you're the chief of police, you're the sheriff, go

trooper, ride me like a K9 dog humping the Sergeant's leg, oh god, oh god, cuff

me, beat me, call me dirty names, turn on your red light, scream like a

siren... "

Man it was really getting hot, and then just when

it was really getting good I said something about " my momma. " Well

shit, that did it, I just lost it.

I really got pissed off at me, and I started

screaming at myself TYPING IN ALL CAPS and stuff, and I told myself that I was

a no good, insensitive ass! hole. I came back with a reply that I was nothing

but a Cyber P**** Teaser, and then I said I couldn't believe that I would have

done something like this with someone as disgusting a pig as me...

Well, to make a long story short I told myself,

" F*** off you Cyber Slut, " and I disconnected myself from me. I

immediately contacted the AOL Chat moderator and reported that I had been

sexually harassed by disgusting pervert: myself!

God, I am so sick and ashamed of what I did. I

never want to talk to myself again.

Do you think I cheated on my wife?

Remember, if you haven't got a smile on your face and laughter in your

heart......Then you are just an old sour fart.

An Irishman is never drunk as long as he

can hold on to a single blade of grass, and avoid falling off the earth. I am

an Irishman, so I can get away with that..l

Two

Irishmen, & , were adrift in a lifeboat following a

dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the

boat's provisions, stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly

hoping

that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the

amazement of , a genie came forth. This particular genie,

however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard

three.

Without giving much thought to the matter, blurted out, Make

the

entire ocean into Guinness Beer! " The genie clapped his hands with a

deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest

brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the genie vanished.

Only the gentle lapping of Guinness on the hull broke the stillness as

the two men considered their circumstances. looked disgustedly

at whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension-filled

moment, he spoke: " Nice going ! Now we're going to have to pee

in the boat. "

For every person with a spark of Genius, there are a

hundred with ignition trouble.

Me too! I have a difficult time mixing the Enbrel when my figners are so

stiff and uncooperative. The injecting is easy but the mixing is a

challenge. I hope it works really well for you. I know that without it I

would be in really rough shape, probably unable to work fulltime like I do

now. I wish it worked better though. I feel like I am losing the battle by

inches instead of large leaps like I was before Enbel but every inch is

devastating. Good Luck , Cheri :-))

Do you think B 12 shots help with the chronic fatigue of pa? I'd like to

look into that

Hi , I don't know if they specifically help with the PA...I take them

because I have something called pernicious anemia, and I can't absorb B12 any

other way. However, B12 is required to absorb iron, and iron deficiency can

cause fatigue. I think the best bet would be to have your dr run some tests

on B12 levels, as well as folate levels and iron levels. I have noticed over

time that many of us with PA seem to have absorption problems with iron and

folate, and this can lead to fatigue.

My regular doctor is the one who recommended that I take folic acid

supplements...she says that she's seen a lot of research indicating that women

of

child bearing age are folate deficient, and when I mentioned it to the rheumy,

she agreed and said that autoimmune patients also tend to be folate deficient.

When the pernicious anemia was diagnosed, my hematologist told me that what

is considered the " right " level of B12 is up for debate...in Japan, the

normal standards are much different than in the US...so I am treated with a

goal

of getting to a higher B12 level than what is considered normal, and this

seems to help me. Even so, I still have trouble with iron absorption and take

a

prescription type of iron (hemocyte) that is easier to absorb. They keep my

ferritin goals higher than average as well...all of this seems to help with

my fatigue.

Hope this helps!

Breakfast at Mc's . Please read until the end.

This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.

The last class I had to take was! Sociology.

The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities th at I wish every human being had been graced with.

Her last project of the term was called " Smile. "

The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to Mc's one crisp March morning.

It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.

I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they hadmoved.

As I turned around I smelled a horrible " dirty body " smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was " smiling " .

His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.

He said, " Good day " as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.

The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them.

The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.

He said, " Coffee is all Miss " because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.

I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, " Thank you. "

I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, " I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope. "

I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband sm iled at me and said, " That is why God gave you to me, Honey,! to give me hope. "

We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.

We are not church goers, but we are believers.

That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love. I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.

I turned in " my project " and the instructor read it.

Then she looked up at me and said, " Can I share this? "

I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.

She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.

In my own way I had touched the people at Mc's, my husband, son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE !.

Much love and compassion i s sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

If you think this story has touched you in any way, please send this to everyone you know.

There is an Angel sent to watch over you.

In order for her to work, you must pass this on to the people you want watched over.

F R O G" we all need one!

I do hope this returns to ME the sender! Isn't the little green guy sort of cute? I was told a story about a lady in the hospital who was near death when an area Chaplain came to visit her. This Chaplain was a very young female with long blond hair. She listened to the lady who was ill and left her a small gift for comfort. It was a tiny ceramic frog.

The next day one of the people from the lady's church came to visit. The lady told her friend about the beautiful young Chaplain who had come to visit her. The friend was so impressed with the way the lady had improved and felt the need to talk to the young Chaplain. In her search to find the young gal, she was repeatedly reassured that the chaplains are never very young and that there was never a gal that fit the description given.

Upon returning to the lady in the hospital, a visiting nurse entered the room and noticed the ceramic frog. The nurse made the comment "I see you have a guardian angel with you," As she held the little frog. We asked why she made the comment and we were informed that the frog stood for: (F) Fully ® Rely (O) On (G) God To The World You Might Be One Person; But To One Person You Might Be the World. You have been Tagged by the Foggy, which mean you are a great friend.

You will Have Good Luck For Two Years if you send this to 8 people or more. And if this is sent back to you then you know that youare a true friend...

which means you are a great friend!!

Hi Janet,

me specifically but I end up answering others too! lol Looking up I still have

643 unread but a week ago it was just under 1000 so I'm slowly getting

through them. Betz is right though. I should give up and start again. lol If

everyone starts talking about food for a couple of weeks I will catch up quicker

though. I tend to flick through them. lol I know most of you would enjoy that

subject too. lol

Everything ok with you Janet? Reading on, I see you haven't posted much. As

long as you are ok that's fine.

Take care,

TOO SWEET!!! A six-year-old boy told his father he wanted to marry the little girl

across the street. The father, being modern and well-schooled in

handling children, hid his smile behind his hand. "That's a serious step," he said. "Have you thought it out completely?" "Yes," his young son answered. "We can spend one week in my room

and the next in hers. It's right across the street, so I can run home if I

get scared of the dark." "How about transportation?" the father asked. "I have my wagon, and we both have our tricycles," the little boy answered. The boy had an answer to every question the father raised. Finally, in exasperation, his dad asked, "What about babies? When you're married, you're liable to have babies, you know." "We've thought about that, too," the little boy replied. "We're not going to

have babies. Every time she lays an egg, I'm going to step on it!"

, bless your little heart! Welcome back - all the newcomers

were welcomed by somebody though I'm sure we don't do nearly the good

job you do. So don't worry about it and just jump in on the new

stuff.

Hi : Another symptom of ides is having to " come home early from a

night out with friends! "

[Editor's Note: Oh, no, he's baaaaaaaaack! , I am sure no one else agrees

with me, but I missed you, LOL. Kathy F.]

Kathy F.: YOur statement " no one else agrees with me,... " assumes that there

is at least one agreeing with you!!! Is there really one agreeing with you !!!

PS please insert a few LOLs in this message.

[Editor's Note: , I was using the law of averages which suggests that out

of 3,000 members, at least one other has missed , but you're right, I

can't name even one! Stay safe on this snowy day. We've got about 7 inches of

snow at the moment - halfway to the 14 inches we're expecting. Two days ago, it

was 73 degrees up here and I was driving around with the top down (not mine, the

convertible's). It's miserable out there!
