TODAY'S TRIVIA - - -
-----------------------
Is a black eye a bruise?
Is it true that a "white Christmas" is more rare these days?
--------------
ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
Why do bruises change color?
Bruises change color as they heal, reflecting what is going
on beneath the skin. Initially, bruises are reddish, thanks to
the blood trapped under the skin. Within a few days, the
hemoglobin in the blood begins to break down, causing a
predictable series of color changes. After a few days, the
bruise appears blue or purple. By about a week, the bruise
changes to a greenish color, then a few days later to a
yellowish one. Bruises generally heal after 2-3 weeks.
Do kids bruise more easily than adults?
Actually, it's the other way around. Blood vessels become
more fragile as we age and we bruise more easily. Kids may
have MORE bruises, but they also tend to do more risky
things that RESULT in bruising.

Trying to keep thePEBBLE out of the clutches of your

moonbeams. Every spam filter has a different set of
qualifiers. I have decided I will not chase them.
thePEBBLE has been, is and will continue to be a
highly honorable publication dedicated to serving
our readers. There is no logical reason spam filters
cull it out of your mail, except for the odd word here
or there in an ad, or in a story or article. That is why
I have put thePEBBLE online, to serve those of you who
loyally follow the publication, especially The Saga Of

I will continue to publish thePEBBLE daily and email
it to you. However, if your spam filter eats it, then you
can read it online.

You Need A Little Willingness
To Handle Your Anger
by Rhoberta Shaler, PhD
Every person who has ever lived has experienced anger. The
capacity to become angry is an impressive gift which comes as
part of our biological inheritance, but, what we do with our
anger makes all the difference.
Anger itself is a state of physical readiness. Our body goes
through preparation for action-more adrenaline is secreted,
more sugar is released, our heart beats faster, our blood
pressure rises, we are alert! Anger is designed as a
biological mechanism which operates in the interest of
physical survival. We do have a body, after all!
Because anger is a state of arousal, readiness and power, it
is dangerous. When it is mishandled, all kinds of problems
can be created. Anger used destructively can do extensive
damage. Our bodies react to anger but how we choose to use
our anger is learned. The good news, then, is that anger can
be brought under control by our thinking, our decision-making.
If we consider anger as a response to our fear, the first step
in identifying our anger would be to ask ourselves what is
frightening to us, or, what we are hurt or frustrated by.
Awareness is the key to changing our response because, as soon
as we discover the "problem" we can formulate a strategy to
deal with it-if we are willing.
The expression of anger is one we most often read about in the
newspapers or have vividly recalled for us on television.
Maybe we even have some vivid memories in our own lives of
anger unleashed! The behavior related to anger is learned.
Fortunately this learning can be erased and new learning can
take its place. Often it is best to get some help with the
new learning-to both erase the old and rewrite the new, and,
to support the new program until it is fully working for us.
Just like software!
Anger and aggression are different. Aggression is one way
anger can be expressed, however, there are many other ways-and
most of them are better! Anger can be expressed
constructively. To choose constructive ways to express anger,
we must make full use of our capacity to think. When we
choose appropriate ways to express our anger, we significantly
increase the amount of satisfaction we get from living. I
feel sure that very few of us get any more than very
short-term satisfaction from expressing our anger
aggressively, violently or abusively.
New ways can be learned and they give us a new lease on life.
Learning to communicate our most sensitive feelings is
important. John Powell says in "The Secret of Staying in
Love" that the genius of good communication is to be totally
kind and totally honest at the same time. At some levels of
anger it may be worthwhile to express yourself directly to the
person at the time. At other levels it may be best not to
share your anger at the moment. Sometimes our bodies are so
charged up, our mouth misfires! This does not help. It is
our anger. We own it. We must decide what to do with and
about it. Giving it away usually does not help.
When we gain mastery over our anger, we gain some mastery over
our lives. So learn to transform your anger into a significant
resource for constructive living. Learn to identify and
acknowledge your anger, handle it, and release it
appropriately and healthily. It is life-affirming and
energizing. All it takes to begin is a little willingness.

Reclaiming Your Power.
A Powerful De-Stressor!
PART 4 of 5
Then if they are motivated to change, they will rapidly find
many other means to reclaim their own power. It may only
take changing their thoughts, but they then choose those
thoughts with consciousness. I find many, many people
aren't aware they can make choices. This is a real eye-opener
for me. I thought I was the only one J ! But this is the start
of personal growth. So when I suggest to people they
are giving away power and control to a stranger, they
often are completely amazed. And no, they wouldn't
choose to do this. Most of us are born with wonderful
and forgiving bodies. As you know, you can do lots of
less-than-good things to it and it still there for you, holding
you together: getting you places. I am working with a gal
who has decided that her degenerative condition cannot
be healed. She is stuck with the illness. In essence, she
has given her illness all her power where in fact she
could easily choose to control her illness or possibly
even reverse the symptoms. If she chose to, she could
ask herself "how can it be better" instead of "it can't be
done" Then she could face her daily activities with hope
and anticipation of better things to come, of feeling more
energy, and looking forward to a better social life. In the
end, the more power you reclaim or retain, the more you
learn and experience, the more confident you become.
Then as you face more situations, you feel comfortable
and relaxed. So for goodness sake, don't avoid the
"lessons" you are meant to learn! One of the "by-products"
of doing this exercise is that you begin to know yourself.

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 . . . . . . .

With no one taking aim, and firing
indiscriminantly it was no wonder she had been
hit. None of the riflemen knew what they were
doing. Strange as it might seem every single man
and boy on each side had been to the doctor for
help. Now the doctor's daughter lay in the midst
of them, wounded by each side.
Sam and Billy instinctively knew what to do.
Sam had been in these situations before, but Billy
was a practised street fighter. Each knew the
motivations and the attitude of the fighters.
Billy took one side and Sam took the other.
They caused themselves to be invisible and to
hover over the group, for fear of taking on a
bullet themselves.
They broadcast love unto both groups, intense
love. And as any fighter failed to receive it but
keep fighting, they concentrated on him. Soon, for
no apparent reason to onlookers, the gunfire
ceased. Each of Sam and Billy then proceeded to
damage the weapons by causing the steel on the
inside of each rifle to swell sufficient to
prevent any bullet from getting through.
Soon each side was laying on the side of the
road, each looking in wonder at their buddies
beside them. They queried why they had stopped
firing. Reloading their weapons, each was in
readiness.
The woman in the center of the road was still
crying and screaming. The doctor came running up
the road toward her. When he recognized it was his
daughter his speed picked up. He ran to her and
tried to pick her up. She was bleeding from her
wounds, and was now dirty from her rolling around
on the dusty road.
The doctor stood. He was angry. He began to
holler and scream at both sides. He was scolding
them for their stupidity, showing how his daughter
who had nothing to do with this idiocy was now
wounded by each one of them.
The combatants were shocked. None knew they
had wounded the doctors daughter. She had never
been anything but kind to them.
Sam and Billy re-emerged from over the hill.
They were walking slowly and broadcasting love.
Fighters from each side stood. Suddenly one
especially irritated and angered young man fired
his weapon across the road. The weapon backfired
and blasted metal parts into his face. He screamed
the scream of terror. The war was now his. He knew
not what had happened yet he was in pain. As a
youth he had not felt this before. Now the war
changed for him.
Fighters from the other side fired. They, too
screamed from the resulting backfire of their
rifles.
Sam and Billy were walking toward the girl on
the road. With each step they were getting closer.
The sounds all around them were loud and fearful.
When there was not rifle fire there were screams
of wounded men. They continued to walk toward the
girl and the doctor who was now again at his
daughter's side.
The doctor looked up and knew these were
special men. Something in his mind and heart told
him all would be well. He stood and took two steps
back, all the while watching the two men
approaching.
In the midst of all the screams from the
wounded men Sam stood at the feet of the woman and
raised his hands toward her. "Rise up and walk"
were the quiet words he spoke. The words sounded
like cannon fire unto all who was withing earshot.
Even the screams halted.
The girl stirred. Slowly she rose to her feet.
She was filthy dirty from blood and dirt. Billy
approached her and with his hands six to eight
inches from her waved them up and down her body.
She was instantly cleaned and radiant in
shimmering clothing that made her shine. Her heart
was filled with love.
Her father came rushing in to her. He held
her, and wept.
"I'm okay Daddy. These men have made me whole
and I shall be fine forever more." She spoke with
a love and calm her father had not heard before.
Somehow his daughter had changed. He felt an
energy coming from her he had not felt before.
The screams, howls and expletives of pain were
still coming from both sides. The small group on
the road were suddenly brought out of their
reverie to the noise of those in pain.
Sam and Billy had no plans to fix the fighters
unto a condition of being whole once more. They
must bear the fruit of their actions. That was the
law. With the aid of the doctor, his daughter, and
other villagers who came running, they began to
tend to the wounded.
It was ironic indeed that the doctor had to
take many of them to his house where he had extra
supplies. There, sitting on the floor of the
doctors house were men of both sides of the
skirmish, each in pain and each needing the
services of the doctor.

THINK ABOUT THIS TODAY!
"Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph
of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it
because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no matter
how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm
you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can
accomplish miracles."

HA! HA! HA!
Ohio Secretary of State, J. Kenneth Blackwell unveiled a
plan Monday night that he feels will drastically reduce the
state's budget deficit.
The public can learn how this plan will work by calling the
state capitol at 1-900-555-5555. A recorded message will spell
out the new budget-reducing plan. Calling the number involves
a $100 charge for the first minute and $50 for each additional
minute.
