How is Alice Liddell famous?
Alice Liddell is believed to be the inspiration for Lewis
Carroll's famous children's book, Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland.
Did Lewis Carroll invent the "Cheshire cat?"
No one knows where the expression "to grin like a Cheshire
cat" originated, but it wasn't with Carroll. The Cheshire cat is
a well-known character in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,
but the expression -- meaning a sneering smile that shows the
gums -- existed long before he wrote the book. There is no
such breed of cat.

Trying to keep thePEBBLE out of the clutches of your
spam filters is almost an impossible job. It is like chasing
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
Pinehill.
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.

STRANGE BITS AND PIECES!
Throughout the South, peanuts were known as "Monkey Nuts,"
and "Goober peas," before the civil war.

Here's To Think On ...
with Ken Darby
-----------------
Forgive Yourself
A new business was opening and one of the owner's
friends wanted to send him flowers for the occasion.
They arrived at the new business site and the owner
read the card, "Rest in Peace."
The owner was angry and called the florist to complain.
After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how
angry he was, the florist replied, "Sir, I'm really sorry for the
mistake, but rather than getting angry, you should imagine
this: somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and
they have flowers with a note saying, 'Congratulations on
your new location.'"
Believe it or not I have seen this kind of a mix up happen.
And folks feel bad about it because that is just what it is,
a mistake. The mistake is not appreciated by the recipients
of either of the flowers yet, if you are not involved it is
laughable.
We all do things like this. It is called "the condition human".
It comes from a short term oversight, a quick lapse in
attentiveness, a minute diversion of concentration or focus.
It is just this kind of short moment of inattention that can
get us killed if we are driving a car, but in most other
situations it is not so costly. These things can, however,
be embarrassing, sometimes hurtful. So it behooves us
to be fully attentive of what we are doing.
Yet there is another aspect about making mistakes we
should consider. We all make mistakes. We are
supposed to make mistakes. Without it we would not
learn. Too many of us take the making of a mistake
personally, rather than look at the matter philosophically.
When we do that it then gets buried deep into our
psyche, there to haunt us until we do one
thing ... forgive ourselves.
Some people think this blasphemous, that only God
or the church can forgive us. Not so. In truth only you
can forgive yourself. We should make a point of regularly
looking at the errors and mistakes we have made and
go deep into ourselves and there grant ourselves
forgiveness. You see, even if it is important that others
offer us forgiveness it is you that is carrying around the
guilt and it is only you who can forgive yourself for
making the mistake. Once you do that you no longer
end up punishing yourself over and over for mistakes
long past.
Performing that task can start life anew, open a fresh
start to joy and progress. It is an important lesson to
learn ...
Forgive Yourself

I am always fascinated how we all seem to be floating from
one condition to another in this spaceship earth, almost as if
we were each in a capsule of our own. What makes us think
anything is any different when we die, is only an ignorance
founded on our lack of effort trying to get out of our capsule.

by Karin Henderson
Head Aches Or Headaches...Why?
PART 7 of 7
If in your investigation you thought this headache
could be caused by inadequate food/nutrient intake, or
the wrong kind, or a lack of water, would it not make
more sense to correct this possibility first? Would it
be fairly easy to take a few deep breaths and try to
relax where you are? Here are a few other easy things
to do. The goal is to free your body of as many
chemicals as possible! Substitute butter for
margarine...use natural sugars instead of refined ones.
(And don’t be fooled by the ads for “real sugars”.)
Maybe substitute diet foods/drinks or fruit drinks for
REAL fruit juices and real foods. (Let me know if you
would like a link to information about artificial
sweeteners. If you have never explored their “makeup”,
you should.) Did you realise that decaffeinated
products are filtered through many chemicals? Guess
what you may be drinking? Familiarize yourself with
food processing procedures and the additives used.
You are now beginning to realise what the chemicals can
do to your health. I work with people every day whose
lives are overpowered by something that has upset the
normal functions of their bodies. Don’t allow yours to
get to that stage. It will require patience and faith:
trial and error, but it’s doable. The results won’t
come overnight, but the sooner you understand how your
body reacts to unwanted and unnatural things, the
sooner you will stay healthy. Start with baby steps. It
can be done because people do it every day. It is your
awareness and decisions that result in changes. And the
changes result in long-term health. The reward is so
tremendous! Healthy at 100!!

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 . . . . . . .

"Yes. I remember Sharon. How is she, Tim?"
"Oh, she's wonderful, Mrs. MIles."
"No Tim. I didn't ask what you thought of her.
I asked how is she."
"She's fine, but she still terrific."
"You see, Mrs. Miles" Tom broke in, "he's all
love struck. He's been useless around here for
months." Tom was laughing as Tim slugged him on
the shoulder.
"I hope to see her Tim. I'll be around for a
while."
"She might be over tonight, Mrs. Miles."
With that the meal was over and the ladies
cleaned up what little there was to clean. The day
and early evening had gotten away from them, they
had been so interested in one another.
The doorbell rang. It was the Sparks. Sam let
them into the living room.
"Welcome. It's nice to see you folks. We were
just in the kitchen enjoying a surprise visit from
Sue Miles, our neighbor. She's been away in China
for months now and just returned for about a week.
Can I get you a coffee?"
"Sure Sam, cream and sugar in both, please."
Sue walked into the living room. "Hello Mr.
and Mrs. Sparks. How are you? I'm Susan Miles. I
live next door to the Henrys. They were kind
enough to feed me supper tonight."
"Hello, Susan. Sam tells us you have been in
China for some time and are just back visiting.
What are you doing over there?"
"Mae Wiley and I are just touring, but on
foot. We decided some time back that we would like
to walk from Kowloon all the way up through Tibet
and down to New Delhi. We wanted to see the
country, meet the people and enjoy China."
"That sounds like some trip. Maybe I should
get you to write articles for me and I'll publish
them."
"That might be interesting." Susan observed.
Sam returned with the coffees and Alewka was
right behind him with a tray of cookies and
sweets.
"Hi, you two. How are you today?"
"We're fine Alewka, and you?"
"Oh Darryl, I'm always fine. You know that."
"Yes, I do. Nothing ever gets you Henrys down.
That's remarkable. But then I suppose that is one
of the benefits of living by higher law."
"It is Darryl. It is." Sam responded. "Say I
see what folks must think as promising news about
cancer in your newspaper, yesterday."
"We got that article from one of the news
services. It does look promising."
"Darryl, do you really think they'll find a
cure for cancer?"
"Sam, by the tone of your voice I sense a trap
here. I would like to think we could conquer the
disease but you're going to tell me something
different aren't you?"
"I am, Darryl. They can cure cancer anytime
they want, but they won't."
"Sam," said Evelyn, "that's terrible. What do
you mean?"
"Evelyn, cancer has had so much money thrown
at it and affects so much of our population it has
now become an entire subculture. There are
literally hundreds of thousands whose economic
lives now depend on cancer that if a cure were
found it would cause economic chaos of disastrous
proportions, not only here but internationally.
Hospital facilities would close. People would be
out of work. Manufacturers of needed equipment
would go broke. There is no aspect of our economy
that would not be harmed if a cure for cancer were
to be found."
"Sam, that's crazy. You have got to be wrong."
"Think on it Darryl. Look at the hospital
right here in Pinehill. How much of it is devoted
to the condition of cancer. What would happen if,
suddenly, there was no more need. The hospital
could not keep all those people employed. They
could not keep that part of the hospital open. And
we are just a very small part of the U.S. Imagine
what would happen in every community if there was
a cure for cancer. Across the nation there would
be hundreds of thousands out of work. There would
be the ripple effect that would put hundreds of
thousands more out of work. The effect on our
economy would throw us into a depression worse
than we have ever seen. It could crash our
economic system, indeed, all over the world. No,
Darryl, they cannot afford to find a cure for
cancer."
Darryl Sparks face turned white. The
realization of what Sam was speaking about had hit
him. He saw the truth behind Sam's words. It put
him into a state of shock. He had not thought
through the whole condition before. He had not
looked at what such a discovery as a cure for
cancer would do to the economy. While it would be
received as good news, in fact it would have a
devastating effect on the economic welfare of the
whole country, the world. Government cannot afford
to have, or approve, or release a cure for cancer.

It is a way of seeing some of the good things and not so good
things that happen to us along the way.

by you, it does keep you updated on some of the trials and
tribulations of doing business on the internet.
We thought we would keep it up.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
HA! HA! HA!
The phone rings and John picks it up
"Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
"Yes."
"Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where you are.
I just saw a beautiful mink coat. It's absolutely gorgeous!!
Can I buy it?"
"What's the price?"
"Only $2,500.00."
"Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much..."
"Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership
and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked. I spoke
with the salesman, and he gave me a really good
price...and since we need to exchange the BMW that
we bought last year..."
"What price did he quote you?"
"Only $60,000..."
"OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
"Great! But before we hang up, something else..."
"What?"
"It might look like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank
account and...I stopped by the real estate agent this
morning and saw the house we had looked at last year.
It's on sale!! Remember? The one with a pool, English
Garden, acre of park area, beachfront property..."
"How much are they asking?"
"Only $950,000 - a magnificent price...and I see that we
have that much in the bank to cover..."
Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid $920,000. OK?"
"OK, sweetie...Thanks! I'll see you later!! I love you!!!"
"Bye...I do too..."
The man hangs up, closes the phone's flap, and raises
his hand while holding the phone and asks to all those
present: "Does anyone know who this phone
belongs to?"
