ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
What exactly is a zombie?
A zombie is someone you would NOT want to meet in a
dark alley. Basically, the zombie is a corpse that has been
exhumed by a sorcerer and made to walk and do the
sorcerer's bidding. Belief in these "living dead," whose souls
have been stolen, is found in the Haitian "vodun" (voodoo)
cult. If you should encounter a zombie, the best thing to do is
give him food with salt! Legend has it that if the zombie eats
such food, or if he is permitted to look on the sea, he'll quietly
return to his grave.
How did the custom of "trick or treating" originate?
"Trick or treating" probably evolved out of a Celtic custom of
offering food to the gods during the fall festival of "Samhain."
In celebration of the recently completed harvest, Celts would go
door to door to collect food donations to offer to the gods. Also,
young Celts would ask townspeople to supply wood for the
Samhain bonfire. Townspeople would take an ember from the
sacred bonfire to their home to relight in the family hearth. The
ember was usually carried in a hollowed-out turnip or gourd.
To prevent being harassed by evil spirits as they walked home
in the dark, the people would dress in frightening attire and
carve scary faces on their gourds. In Europe, during All Soul's
Day, Christians had a tradition of going from house to house
to ask for "soul cakes" or currant buns. In return, they'd pray
for the souls of the homeowner's friends and family.

March To A Different Drummer!
by Ken Darby
A man drives to a gas station and has his tank filled up.
The gas pumper spots two penguins sitting in the back
seat of the car.
He asks the driver, "What's up with the penguins in the
back seat?"
The man in the car says "I found them. I asked myself
what to do with them, but I haven't had a clue."
The clerk ponders a bit then says, "You should take
them to the zoo."
"Hey, that's a good idea," says the man in the car and
drives away.
The next day the man with the car is back at the same
gas station. The clerk sees the penguins are still in the
back seat of the car.
"Hey, they're still here! I thought you were going to take
them to the zoo."
"Oh, I did," says the driver, "And we had a swell time.
Today I am taking them to the beach."
Most of us reading this joke would think the penguins were
lost and should be taken back to the zoo. At least that is
what I thought.
It is clear this guy is marching to a different drummer than I
am. That's cool. I like that. In fact I fight long and hard for
every person's right to do that. Each is on a journey and it
is important they complete that journey. I, for one, insist on
a person's right to be different.
It is true many are odd, or that far out from the norm that I
am not sure I really want to associate with them, but it is
their right. They know what they are doing even if I don't.
Some days when I walk down the sidewalk and see
teenagers hanging out at the corner it scares me. Oh! I'm
not afraid of them but my goodness have you had a look
at their clothing, their make-up, their hairdos lately? Wow!
I know we did the same thing. I just never thought we
looked so bad to our parents as some of the kids do today.
Oh well! The pendulum will swing. It always does.
Soon these kids will come into the workforce, marry,
have kids, buy cars and houses and do all the things
we did too. And one day some of them will write an
article about marching to a different drummer. It is
always a current subject.

CHECK UP ON SCHEDULED TASKS
The task scheduler in Windows make it easy to run programs when
you're not around. But sometimes it's difficult to tell which programs
actually ran. If this question ever arises, you can always check the
task scheduler's log. Click Start then go to Programs then
Accessories and System Tools and go to Scheduled Tasks.
In the new window, click Advanced and View Log. You'll find a list
of actions taken by the task scheduler. The task scheduler also can
let you know if something is not done. Under Advanced, click
Notify Me of Missed Tasks.

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - -
Amalgam or Mercury: A Sense Of Confusion
PART 6 of 9
If you think you have severe symptoms, you should
discuss this with your dentist. If he or she does not
share your concern, you need to be very diplomatic, but
also firm. They may feel your symptoms come from
something else. Maybe so and maybe not. You NEED to ask
their opinion as to where these come from. Just making
such a general statement of coming from “something
else” isn’t going to help you find the source of your
symptoms.
Dr. Tom McGuire on page 311 of his excellent book
called “Tooth Fitness”, says “It’s also interesting to
note that dentists who say mercury fillings in your
mouth are 100% safe, nevertheless take every precaution
to avoid any contact with the leftover amalgam. All
leftover amalgam particles are stored in containers and
quickly disposed of.” Sometimes actions speak louder
than words.
http://www.dentalwellness4u.com/pages/openbook.htm
What do you need to do next? Think about what you have
read and how this pertains to your own life and
situation. Do a lot of research. It is very easy for
someone to suggest you change dentists and find one
that practices “mercury free dentistry”, but if the
room is spinning and the noise in your ear is
deafening, it’s very difficult to be hopeful and
motivated! Once things are better, do visit this site
(two pages).
http://www.dentalwellness4u.com/pages/openbook.htm
http://www.dentalwellness4u.com/pages/linkedsites3.htm
There seem to be two distinct steps to take control of
your own dental health in this situation. But they can
only come after some serious thinking and consulting.
First you have to remove the actual mercury. Then you
have to remove the mercury out of the rest of your
body. This is called detoxification. Safe mercury
removal is a specialty. It needs to be done in such a
way so it doesn’t bring any additional harm both to you
and the dental staff. Therefore one very important step
is to find that dentist who practices “mercury free
dentistry”. And you can find listings in many places. I
would start with the links in this article. Here is
also where the testing for this suspected mercury can
be done. This has got to be one of the most frustrating
parts of all of this. I hear about saliva tests and
blood test and hair analysis. Each person disputes the
efficiency of the other’s test results! How can the
ordinary layperson compare all these conflicting ideas
and instructions??? Recently, I heard of an regular
blood test that also has the capability of checking for
mercury levels. You need to ask specifically to have
your mercury level done, but this seems like a good
place to start.

THE NET'S BEST KEPT SECRET
<><><><>
THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began
and David Wylie, age 20, were selected by a
stranger in town to take a dangerous trip,
together. The idea was that each was to take
only the clothes on their back and go
anywhere in the world where the stranger
took them. They were to be left there to find
their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they
were. If they arrived back home, there
would be a million dollars waiting in each
of their bank accounts
The story deals with their adventures along
and leads to the only way they could survive.
The story leads to many friends, many
adventures and many places.
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

"Tim, you say you live by what you call higher
law. What exactly do you mean?"
Tim came down out of the clouds long enough to
think on her question and to answer her. "Man
works hard, Sharon, to accumulate material goods
that he considers wealth. Yet, if you go to your
bible and read what Jesus said to the masses,
that's in Matthew 5, 6, and 7, but primarily
Matthew 6: 19 - 34 you will find he offered
another way to live. He said to seek the kingdom
of his Father and it's right-use-ness and all
these things will be added unto you. He seemed to
be suggesting that when one was completely in tune
with their Maker they would have all the same
powers and abilities their Maker has. Jesus goes
further in later chapters to confirm and even show
how to cause this to happen, see Matthew 21:v 21,
22. When man follows the teachings of Jesus, not
the teachings of the church about Jesus, then one
becomes able to do what Jesus taught. That is all
I do."
"You mean we are being taught wrong by the
church?"
"Sharon, you, alone, must make up your mind on
that point. All I am telling you is the church
teaches about Jesus, but none do as Jesus taught.
You must consider, Jesus either taught truth or he
was the greatest liar in earth. You must decide
what that means to you. If those who lead the
church did what Jesus taught them then they would
all do what I am doing. All men can do this. It is
no miracle. It is no secret even. It is merely
looking through the veil of simplicity and
realizing what Jesus taught."
"That sounds complicated to me" Sharon
suggested.
"It only sounds complicated because this is
the first time you have heard it. The longer you
are associated with the idea the simpler it
becomes. Even grade 12 is complicated when you
first begin. But as the year goes on it becomes
more readily understood. It is no more complicated
than that. Would you like to come over to my place
and have supper with us?"
"I would have to call my Mom. I don't know
what she would say. Your family has quite a
reputation in town. Not everyone wants to be with
you. I will have to tell her."
"What is your parents opinion of our family?"
"Well... " Sharon had not expected to be put
into this position. She had opened her mouth and
now found herself here, where she did not want to
be. She decided that her parents opinion would be
found out anyway, so there was nothing to be
gained by withholding it, and besides she likely
gave it away already. "They aren't to keen on what
they think you do. I'm not sure they know much
about it except what they learn in church or
gossip on the street, but they are not keen on
having much of a relationship. I know if I tell
Mom where I am she would likely want to discourage
me. I know. I'll call her from your house. That
way if she tells me to come home, she will come to
realize I am already at your place. I'll tell her
I will be home as soon as possible."
"Sharon, maybe we should not offend, but face
it head on. Maybe we should forget about the
supper idea and you can tell her face to face at
some other time. The more they learn to trust your
judgment, the greater the chance we can see each
other."
"That might be nice, but my folks know I make
up my own mind. They taught me that, and I want to
have supper at your place."
They continued on their way, at about the same
slow pace, still enveloped, together, in that
euphoric cadence of first love. They seemed to
float over the land, not being aware of walking.
There are few times in one's life when they
experience the beauty of that first love, that one
that takes your breath, mind and body away from
you and transports you into a land that transcends
all pain.
Yet, that does not last forever, and Tim well
knew he better keep a cool head on his shoulders.
He was, nonetheless, enjoying these moments with
Sharon.
"Are you going to corrupt my mind, if I come
to supper?" She was teasing him.
"Get outta here! You know better than that."
He stuck his finger into her ribs. That was the
first time he had touched her, except for holding
hands. It was like heaven. She did not move away
from him too much.
For Sharon's part she loved his touch. There
was a special kind of "electricity" in it. This
man was different than any others she had met. He
broadcast love, peace, quiet. She felt completely
safe while with him and she trusted him. That led
to feelings she never had before. She felt she
could explore them, safely, with Tim and she was
doing that as they walked.

things that happen to us along the way.

REFLECTIONS ON AGING
~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
--------------------
A couple had two little boys ages 8 and 10, who were
excessively mischievous they were always getting into
trouble and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred
in their town, their sons would get the blame.
The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been
successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would
speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed, and asked to
see them individually. So, the mother sent her 8-year-old first,
in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in
the afternoon.
The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the
younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"
They boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response,
sitting there with his mouth hanging open. The clergyman
repeated the question. "Where is God?"
Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman
raised his voice some more and shook his finger in the boy's
face and bellowed, "Where is God!?"
The boy screamed and bolted from the room. He ran directly
home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind
him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked,
"What happened?"
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in
big trouble this time! God is missing and they think we did it!"
