When was the croissant invented? -------------- ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - - -------------- What was the original name of the game we now know as "pick-up sticks"? North American settlers played a game called "jackstraws" that involved literally picking up pieces of straw or wood splinters. The game became especially popular in the early eighteenth century, when ivory or bone sticks were used instead. Players tossed the sticks onto a smooth surface and challenged each other to pick up a designated color without disturbing the sticks of other colors. Today's "pick-up sticks" are usually made of colored wood or plastic.  Who invented the "Slinky"? The "Slinky," that amazing metal toy that performs flip-flop feats, was invented in 1945 by Richard James, who was trying to make a torsion spring to support heavy, fragile objects for the US Army. Gimbels in Philadelphia introduced the toy during the holiday season of 1946. Its entire stock sold out in less than 90 minutes. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> I'LL SEE IT WHEN I BELIEVE IT! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> There are a lot of ways to become a failure, but never taking a chance is the most successful. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> NOTICE - NOTICE - NOTICE Trying to keep thePEBBLE out of the clutches of your spam filters is almost an impossible job.

Late one Saturday evening, I was awakened by the ringing of my phone. In a sleepy grumpy voice I said hello. The party on the other end of the line paused for a moment before rushing breathlessly into a lengthy speech. "Mom, this is Susan and I'm sorry I woke you up, but I had to call because I'm going to be a little late getting home. See, Dad's car has a flat but it's not my fault. Honest! I don't know what happened. The tire just went flat while we were inside the theater. Please don't be mad, okay?" Since I don't have any daughters, I knew the person had dialed my number by mistake. "I'm sorry dear," I replied, "but you've reached the wrong number. I don't have a daughter named Susan." "Wow, Mom," the young woman's voice replied, "I didn't think you'd be this mad." Well I've been there, bought the T-shirt. Even if the tire was flat the youngster was speaking with who she thought was her Mother, with a guilty tone or feeling. If the event was legitimate she still responded as guilty, and that guilty conscience had her so she was not listening to the voice. She had pronounced punishment on herself because that is what she was looking for. That is the way with all of us when we do things against our own conscience. The moment we feel those pangs of guilt is the moment we begin to look for punishment for ourselves. That is why it is so important for us to seek truth. The more we do, the more we learn and soon we become strong in knowledge, if not with real power. The more guilt, the greater the likelihood we will interpret situations incorrectly. It comes from looking through glasses of guilt, rather than those clean, crisp, clear glasses of brilliant truth and confidence. It is likely all who read this know this truth from childhood. Yet some fail to learn its lesson. They continue to practice these things that sponsor guilt and the consequent result is less, far less than what one wants, for it is then one is looking for punishment to once more cleanse the sense of guilt. The circle becomes a pattern. A pattern becomes a habit. A habit becomes a life, and the life is one of repeated guilt and suffering. The answer then is to live within the bounds of your conscience and strive to broaden the bounds thereof so you can do all you need to do in good conscience.

The laws exist. If you learn them and use them to your advantage you prosper. If you decline and continue to conduct your life as if they do not exist then it is an absolute certainty you will do less, have less and be less than your peak. ---- Ken Darby <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> MEDICAL COLUMN - - - - by Karin Henderson The Relationship of Oral Health to Overall Health and Longevity by Tom McGuire, D.D.S. PART 30 of 31 Conclusions The long-held belief that dental disease is a localized, minor disease that only affects the teeth and gums, has not withstood the test of time. Dental disease, and other issues related to the mouth, can and do contribute to serious health problems. They can also interfere with successful medical treatment and healing and can actually shorten life expectancy. I believe that the evidence supporting the role of dental disease in systemic diseases is conclusive. As a patient, you cannot afford to overlook this relationship when seeking treatment for any disease or for attempting to extend life expectancy and improve the quality of your life. If you suffer from any of the symptoms or diseases referred to in this chapter, you must determine if periodontal disease, amalgam fillings, or another oral issue could be contributing to its cause or severity. Certainly, you want to ensure that you have at least eliminated dental disease or mercury poisoning as a possible cause of, or contributor to, your existing health problems. Neglecting the issue of dental health, in my opinion, jeopardizes the success of treatment and could lead to disappointing outcomes. It could also result in great frustration for you and your health practitioner.  Solutions Discussing problems without offering solutions does not have much value. Therefore, I will offer some solutions to help you address the problems of dental disease and its effects on overall health. I am not suggesting that you become a dentist yet, it is vitally important to address the issue of oral health, especially since it could affect the success of any treatment you may now be undergoing. Everyone understands that successful treatment hinges on making an accurate diagnosis. In order to make a truly ‘whole body’ diagnosis you, your dentist and your health professional, must know the state of your oral health. My suggestion is that you make an appointment with your dentist to determine the following: 1. Your total periodontal health; 2. Whether or not you have any infected root canals; 3. The condition of any extraction sites; 4. Whether or not you have, or have had, amalgam fillings, including how many; 5. Whether or not you have been examined for other diseases whose early signs and symptoms are found in the oral cavity. ------------------------ Tom McGuire, DDS President The Dental Wellness Institute 321 S.

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. The Saga Of Pinehill, The Adventure is now in bookstores. A controversial and powerful story. It will change your life.

It continues . . . . . . . ---------------- The pair of them sauntered back to Sonora's place casually chatting along the way about nothing in particular. You know how young lovers are. They can talk all day long about nothing, pass the day together and it goes by so fast one wonders where it went. They think they have solved the problems of the world and that all is well. It is such a euphoric and wonderful state to be in. That is what Billy and Sonora were doing. Time had no meaning or purpose to them. They existed in a bubble of their own and, as far as they were concerned it could go on forever. Forever, that is until it was interrupted by Sam Henry. "Hello, you two. Are you in euphoria land again?" Sam laughed. He, too, was a teaser. He loved the pair of them and as they approached Kenyata's and Mombudo's fire circle it was clear they were "spaced" out. "Hello, Mr. Sam." Sonora ran over to him and gave him a hug. "What are you doing here?" "Hello, Sam." Billy was a little more subtle, a little more "manly". "Hi Billy. It is good to see you, son. I hope and trust all is well and this little vixen here isn't giving you a hard time." Sonora laughed and poked Sam in the ribs. "Oh, you men are all alike. Does he get that from you, Mr. Sam? He's always teasing me." "Now, Sonora, don't get too haughty. It seems to me you can hand it out with the best of them. She's just vying for your attention, Sam. She's been telling me I'm an old man, that I'm clumsy and that I'm not making any points with her this day. She's a wiley one, Sam. Look out for her." "You see, Mr. Sam, this is what I'm planning on marrying. I'm starting to have second thoughts. I think I'm going to get into a situation where he will have no mercy and tease me all the time." Sonora was laughing with the rest of them. "I was just on a journey to help out in a landslide situation. It is all well now, but before I went home I thought I would drop in to see how you folks were doing. I imagine you are all busy." Sam had been sitting at the fire circle with Mombudo and Kenyata for a while. He arrived just as Sonora was on her way to get water. She had not seen him arrive. Billy and Sonora had taken maybe 30 minutes getting water. "It's a ladies thing Mr. Sam. The men have nothing to do but run errands once in a while." Mombudo had spoken. "I notice this young man seems lost in space somewhere. They are barely polite to him in the village and no one wants him to do anything. He closed down the school for a month or more until he and Sonora return from their alone time, so now he wanders like a lost soul through the village. It is as if he were a ghost." They all laughed. Billy was the butt end of his joke. Yet it was true. That is almost how Billy felt. "The entire village is busy, Sam. This is a big event for them. They have all learned well at our school and it is as if they have been released from bondage. Fear and ignorance have kept these people in bondage for a long time,. They now see they, too, are children of God and they, too, can seek and find their Maker. It is quite a revelation to see, Sam. They are wonderful people and have come alive with this wedding. The Old One says they are doing it for me, but the real truth is they have found themselves and are doing it for themselves. I am just the excuse." "Sure you are, Billy. Isn't it wonderful. I get such a joy out watching people grow. Nothing pleases me more. So, the wedding is in a few days is it?" "You bet, Sam. I was going to come and get you and Mom in a couple days. And I was going to round up the whole gang then, too. I do hope everyone is coming." "Billy, they wouldn't miss it for any reason. What about your own parents and family, Billy?" "I thought about that Sam. Had it not been for you and your family I would have been a juvenile delinquent likely now sitting in jail someplace. They have no concern about me, Sam. I have decided to leave them out of this. I will see them later. You know the kind of thinking that comes out of a beer bottle. I will have to have Sonora prepared for such a meeting." "I see. As you wish, Billy. I see nothing that would cause you a problem there. So I'll see you in a couple days, back home?" "You bet. Please tell everyone I'll be there, we'll be there," he put his arm around Sonora as he spoke. "We want to gather everyone up and bring them back here. Did you see the guest village we set up for everyone?" "Yes. Mombudo showed me. He said it was you and your students set it up. Good work." "I sure hope all our guests are up to being questioned. I suspect these villagers will be on their cases from the moment each arrives. They are hungry for knowledge, Sam. They have had a taste of higher law and they want to live that way." As they were speaking they could see the Old One coming. He was walking upright, with his staff. He was now a frail man, but wiry and a mental giant among these people. Sam, Mombudo and the others rose to greet him. "I knew Mr. Sam was with us. I wanted to come and say hello. It is a long time since I saw you." "Yes, Old One. I have stopped in to see this young sprout is behaving himself and carrying himself like a son of mine. I trust that is so?" <><><><> TOMORROW - - - Billy and Sonora <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> WHY DO WE SAY IT? On the Cuff: Why do we say that something purchases and charged is put "on the cuff"? Because it was once the custom of waiters in public houses to keep a record of what was ordered on the cuffs of their shirts. for this reason, a diner who wished to have his meal charged would jocularly suggest that the amount due be put "on the cuff" also. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> For advertising that works go to http://www.the-pebble.com/PAGES/advertis.html <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> THINK ABOUT THIS TODAY!

They were talking about how hard it is to lose weight as one gets older, something with which all you youths must deal eventually. One woman complained that she remained an 'apple-shape' and the other said that no matter how much she exercised, there was too much poundage on her backside and thighs. It almost seemed like it was there to stay. Her buddy agreed, saying, "It's true.
