Where did the term "Goody Two-Shoes" come from?
"Goody Two-Shoes" was the main character in the
1766 book, The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes.
("Goody" is an abbreviated form of "Goodwife," a
popular form of address in the sixteenth century.)
Why in the world do we use the phrase "happy as a
clam"? Are clams happy?
The original phrase was "happy as a clam in the
mud at high water." Now, does it make more sense?

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.
Please note you can read thePEBBLE anytime you wish

Here's To Think On ...
by Ken Darby
-----------------
Building Bridges Is Far Superior
To Building Fences
Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining
farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in
40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery,
and trading labor and goods as needed without a
hitch.
Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with
a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major
difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange
of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.
One morning there was a knock on John's door.
He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox.
"I'm looking for few days work" he said.
"Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here
and there. Could I help you?"
"Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you.
Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbor,
in fact, it's my younger brother.
Last week there was a meadow between us and
he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now
there is a creek between us.
Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll
go him one better.
See that pile of lumber curing by the barn? I want
you to build me a fence, an 8-foot fence so I won't
need to see his place anymore. Cool him down,
anyhow.
The carpenter said, "I think I understand the
situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole
digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases
you."
The older brother had to go to town for supplies,
so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready
and then he was off for the day.
The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring,
sawing, nailing. About sunset when the farmer
returned, the carpenter had just finished his
job.
The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped.
There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge-
a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the
other! A fine piece of work handrails and all; and the
neighbor, his younger brother, was coming across,
his hand outstretched.
"You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after
all I've said and done."
The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge,
and then they met in the middle, taking each other's
hand. They turned to see the carpenter hoist his
toolbox on his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days.
I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older
brother.
"I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but, I
have many more bridges to build."
There is not likely need to say more. This above story
is quite complete. How many times have we let ourselves
get emotionally worked up against someone, when, in
truth, they are simply doing their best, just as we are?
Sometimes people act in ways that appear to be against
us when really they act that way either for reasons we
don't know or see, or because they don't know they
hurt us. Think on that.
How many times have you gotten mad because a driver
has sped past you and cut you off? Then later you find
out his wife had just been in an accident, has life
threatening injuries and he has been called to the
hospital.
Be not quick to judge.

To Be Vaccinated Or
Not To Be Vaccinated…
PART 3 of 13
This virus affects about 30% of a "population. That means
30% of your associates could get the flu. It means that
30% of the work won't get done or will be done not as
efficiently.. It means 30% of your coworkers will become
"incubators" for a short while. Can you see why prevention
is very important? But not everyone needs the vaccination.
So find out if you are considered "high risk". There are
arguments against having this vaccination, so be informed.
If you don't need it, don't do it, but if you do need it, then
do it. What are you being vaccinated against? Influenza
is caused by a group of viruses divided into three
classes: A, B or C. Influenza A and B are the major
causes of severe illness and death related to the flu.
The strains of the viruses may mutate / change from
one year to the next. This is why flu outbreaks are a
yearly event. Immunity to last year’s flu does not protect
you from this year’s new strains. Influenza A virus, the
strongest/most virulent, is responsible for widespread
pandemics (worldwide) and epidemics (regional). The
virus changes itself and you find yourself unprotected
and susceptible to infection despite prior immunity to
previous strains of the A virus. Influenza B virus is also
responsible for a significant amount of the flu-related
illnesses, although it is less likely to cause death. The
B virus tends to cause more localized outbreaks of flu
with fewer complications. Each year’s influenza vaccine
contains three virus strains (usually two type A's and
one type B) representing the influenza viruses that are
most likely to circulate in the coming winter.

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 . . . . . . .

The animal had long straight horns and was
nearly twice the size of the one he had speared
yesterday. He had second thoughts about trying
this one, it was big. But he had not eaten and he
was beginning to get desperate.
The animal came directly under him. Hanging
onto his spear, Hemno dropped. He landed directly
on the animals back and the lightning fast
reactions of the beast put it into an immediate,
fear sponsored, jumping and bucking. The dust was
flying, the dirt was flying. Hemno didn't know
when it happened but those fierce horns came back
at him. He grabbed for them. That was the last he
knew before hitting the ground.
The beast felt the weight on it's horns. It
bucked and then brought it's head down, thus
making his horns a lever that took Hemno up and
over it's head and through the air. He landed with
a thud, flat on his back. It took his breath clear
away. But then he heard it ... C-R-A-C-K.
Hemno's legs were in the air continuing their
forward movement. They were acting as if they were
not even attached to him. One of them came down
hard on a rock. That's when he heard the crack. He
hollered in pain. He couldn't get his breath and
his leg felt as if it had been cut right off.
He slowly got his breath back and ever so
slowly raised himself on his elbows so he could
look down toward his feet to see what was
happening in that direction.
His one leg and foot were lying flat on the
ground, bruised and sore but all right. The other
leg scared him. It was still resting on the rock.
Looking at it Hemno could see his leg notch out in
a different direction. It went down and looked
almost, for a moment, as if he had two knees on
that leg. It was all he could do to move it. His
body was in shock and his head spinning.
Ever so slowly he brought his bad leg toward
him. He had never known such pain. Every movement
seemed to disturb the spot with the lump on it. He
knew his leg was broken. There was no skin broken
except for the rash and scrapes the ordeal had
given him, but he could clearly see his leg was in
two pieces where there should only be one.
He cried. They were tears of pain, tears of
desperation, tears of fear. He cried.
It was a very long while before he moved. He
knew he needed rest and he had to asses his
condition and circumstance. And he knew he had to
get food.
Will alone kept him going. He knew not from
where the courage and drive came but he knew he
had to fix his leg somehow and he still had to
hunt.
While he had been quiet he had a vision. He
would have to set his leg and find two pieces of
wood to act as a splint. Then he would have to cut
himself a crutch much like the one the headman of
his village used.
Still without food he summoned up from within
him an extraordinary amount of energy. He
literally willed himself into movement. He brought
his leg as close as he could get it. Then, with a
stick in his mouth he attempted to re-set his leg.
He virtually screamed loud enough to wake every
animal for miles around. The herds all looked in
his direction. When he was finished he was faint.
He slept, right where he was.
He awakened when the sun was going down. Lying
there he felt detached, until he moved his leg.
The pain was terrible. He looked around for his
staff/spear, and found it about ten paces away. He
dragged himself over, hollering with every
movement. Finally he had it.
Using the staff as a crutch he raised himself
up. Then he headed for the nearest bush. He wanted
to look for a branch long enough to function as a
crutch. It took him a long time to get there and
he didn't know if he would be able to do this
before the sun went down, but he would try.
He saw a curved one that had a pretty tough
looking Y near the top. He began to cut away, with
his knife.
It was dark when Hemno finally had cut the
limb free. Slowly, painfully he gathered up wood
and then went a little out onto the plain to start
a fire. This was going to be a very long night. He
could hardly move and when he did it hurt.
When his fire was going good he took some of
the leaves from the plants he found as his source
of water. He needed as much as he could get.
Then he set to the task of carving himself a
crutch. He had seen others in his village and knew
what he wanted.
As he was carving he was also thinking. He was
thankful one could live without food for longer
than they could without water. Tomorrow he was
going to have to cut some more branches and try to
tie them to each side of his leg to help support
it. He didn't want to get into a condition where
any of his movements opened up the bone again. As
he looked at it his leg didn't look too bad. At
least it appeared straight. He had no idea how it
would heal or how long it would take. All he knew
is it hurt. The tears that left streaks in the
dirt on his face were testament to that.

THINK ABOUT THIS TODAY!
"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course
you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that
you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that
tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a
course of action and follow it to an end requires some
of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its
victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them."
---- Ralph Waldo Emerson

HA! HA! HA!
While my friend was working as a receptionist for an eye
surgeon, a very angry woman stormed up to her desk..
"Someone stole my wig while I was having surgery
yesterday," she complained.
The doctor came out and tried to calm her down. "I assure
you that no one on my staff would have done such a thing,"
he said. "Why do you think it was taken here?"
"After the operation, I noticed the wig I was wearing was
cheap-looking and ugly."
"I think" explained the surgeon gently, "that means your
cataract operation was a success."
