Where did the phrase "pipe dream" originate?
When ice melts, does it raise the water level in the glass?

ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
What does "mark twain" refer to?
"Mark twain" means "two fathoms." (A fathom, of course is
six feet deep, so that's 12 feet.) When navigating a
riverboat over the Mississippi River, a riverboat captain
needs someone to call out the depth in tricky areas to
ensure that the boat can make it through. If he hears "mark
twain," he knows that the water is barely deep enough for
the boat to pass.
What famous author took "Mark Twain" as his pen name?
Samuel Clemens, the creator of the adventuresome Huck Finn
and Tom Sawyer, took "Mark Twain" as his pen name. This was
not because he WAS a riverboat captain, but because he once
wanted very badly to be one.

Here's To Think On ...

Deal Straight Or It Backfires!
During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the
pastor with an unusual offer.
"Look, I'll give you $100 if you'll change the wedding vows.
When you get to me and the part where I'm to promise to
'love, honor and obey' and 'forsaking all others, be
faithful to her forever,'I'd appreciate it if you'd just
leave that part out." He passed the minister a $100 bill and
walked away satisfied.
It is now the day of the wedding, and the bride and groom
have moved to that part of the ceremony where the vows are
exchanged. When it comes time for the groom's vows, the
pastor looks the young man in the eye and says, "Will you
promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every
command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning
of your life and swear eternally before God and your lovely
wife that you will not ever even look at another woman, as
long as you both shall live?"
The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny
voice, "I do."
The groom leaned toward the pastor and hissed, "I thought we
had a deal."
The pastor put the $100 bill into his hand and whispered
back, "She made me a much better offer."
Life amazes me how it turns around and slaps you in the face
when you least expect it.
It is that old law, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."
Deceit begets deceit.
My advice is and always has been shoot straight and you'll
only get what you give. Keep your word, and you will get
back a hundred fold what you give out. If that initial act
was good, imagine the hundred fold in return.
Too often that is the cause of our anger. The law catches us
in actions we should not be performing. The law . . . "As ye
sow . . ." always wins. And it works whether you know it or
not, like it or not, want it or not. It is one of those
universal laws that acts on all things.
In being human you are fortunate enough to see it, recognize
it, use it to your advantage. Most of us don't but we do
have that option.
Life is a matter of choices. The choices you make today will
bring your rewards tomorrow. What do you choose?

To Be Vaccinated Or Not To Be Vaccinated
Do Some Serious Deliberation Before
You Offer Your Arm
PART 14 of 15
The World Health Organization asks for reports on any
adverse reactions and publishes them the following year. The
most frequent adverse or side effect of the vaccine is
soreness at the site lasting approximately 2 days. And that
is to be expected. Remember that your arm has been “invaded”
by a foreign object. Your body automatically reacts by
bringing extra fluids and healing powers to the area to get
rid of these “invaders”.
Now for a bit of controversy…Did you notice something
unusual last year when we ran out of flu vaccine? Do you
recall that we had the vaccine didn’t meet the required
standards and couldn’t be used? Suddenly not everyone needed
to have a flu vaccination. Suddenly the rules changed. And
just as suddenly they changed again, when more vaccine
appeared! This year there will most likely be another
shortage.
Some pharmacists are telling their regular clients they
cannot provide flu shots. And others are saying they can. On
top of that, the season which normally can lasts about seven
weeks, may only last three weeks. This year we were to
vaccinate children as young as 6 months old! I wonder if
that will happen if there is this possible shortage. I bring
all this up because you didn’t change and your requirements
didn’t’ change. Do you really need a flu shot if your immune
system is healthy and strong? Could you use some
preventative measures instead and avoid putting more
chemicals into your body? Do you really want mercury in your
body? Do you realise if we break a mercury-filled
thermometer, we have to call the materials hazard team to
clean it up? And now you put this material willingly into
your body? Just be aware of your choices and your reasons.

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

your favorite bookstore. ISBN # 1-4137-4723-X
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .
----------------
None of the other children had that experience. They
just stepped off solid ground and kept walking. They had
witnessed the first girl and did not want a similar
experience.
"Now, I want you to observe something." Sam was talking
to the kids around him. "You are all walking on quicksand.
Bend down and touch it. See if it is wet or if you can put
your hand into it."
The kids did as he asked. "What keeps us above this Mr.
Sam. How can we walk on top of this, yet sink into it if we
choose?"
"That is what happens when you choose to live the life
of your Maker. All things in the universe have a spiritual
underpinning, an unseen matrix which is its frame.
Knowledgeable thought can influence that spiritual
framework, yet only when it is accompanied by belief. That
is why you were told to KNOW you could walk on top of this
stuff. Your belief causes the spiritual matrix underlying
anything to behave as you believe. Know this and you live by
higher law. That is why Riata has schooled you so long and
hard on the law 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap'. She wanted
you to have a solid grounding on the idea that what you
think and do has results. You can get good results or bad
results. As you live longer in higher law those results come
faster and are more significant. Think no evil henceforth
for any person. Let not your emotions do your thinking for
you. Think always love toward all living things, never fear.
KNOW you are always safe and protected and that you alone
are in charge of when you shall live and when you shall die.
Death is by choice and can be overcome. Make the choices
that will allow you to live and help mankind. Raise the
standard for man and he shall pursue it. Now, I'll beat all
of you to the orphanage."
There was instant pandemonium as the kids began to take
off, not giving a thought to what was beneath their feet.
They ran like the wind, yet at they got to the orphanage,
there was Sam.
"How did you get here so fast Mr. Sam. We didn't see you
run. We beat you."
Sam laughed. "Ah! Yes. But you behaved like most men.
You did what the natural inclination was. You did what you
have always done. You did not think about the new way, you
just ran. I decided to see myself here and believed I would
be. That is instantaneous. Your way is the slow way. I'll
keep testing you until you come up with the right way so you
had better all start thinking." Sam laughed again.
"That's not fair, Mr. Sam. We have to learn more."
"Ah! Ha! Whining, crying, blaming others, looking for
excuses are all ways one looks for failure. What you are
saying, before you even start, is that there are reasons why
you can't do something. You are each a son or daughter of
your Maker. Do you think there is anything you cannot do?"
"Well, when you put it that way, Mr. Sam, no."
"That's right. There is nothing in this universe you
cannot do. You have complete and total dominion over all
things. You are one with your Maker. Why would you want to
think like man if you can think like your Maker? Know from
this instant you are a Master. Act like one. Think like one.
Be one."
"Are you saying, Mr. Sam, that there is no reason, no
excuse why we can't do something?"
"Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. I am saying you
alone, each of you, is responsible for the things that
happen to you. All men are. Yet you now know you can walk on
water. You can cross over quicksand. What else can you do?
See Mazunta over there. He has not yet come through the
quicksand. I want each of you to go stand by his side
without taking even one step from where you are. It will
help you, initially, if you close your eyes. See yourself
standing over there with him. Believe you are there and then
open your eyes."
Before Sam had finished, the last of the kids was over
with Mazunta.
"Do you now see how you can travel? Do you now see how
belief is the answer for all mankind. The only thing that
separated you from the rest of men is you now know and act
on that knowing. Jesus said it long ago, 'Whatsoever things
ye shall ask of me in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.'
You each heard and saw, this day, the reward your
beloved Riata has received for her long-suffering service on
your behalf. She did the same for kids in an orphanage in
Matto Grosso, in South America. She has been of service to
man for years without seeking anything for herself. Today
she was made a council to Jesus, Muhammad and Buddha. She is
a woman of high stature and highly thought of by all who
know her. It is only because she lived by higher law and
served mankind without asking for anything in return. It was
enough for her to serve. Follow her example. Listen to her
and follow her advice." Sam was speaking quietly but to
every heart in every child standing with Mazunta.
All the kids present were in that group. Even Sam's
grandchildren, plus David and Pam's kids. All now lived by
higher law.
Sam turned and walked through the orphanage to where the
adults were standing.
Mazunta was there in a blink of an eye, leaving all the
kids on the "island". They looked perplexed until AliAnn
said "Come on guys. This is just another test like Grandpa
said. Come, let's join the adults." When she finished she
vanished to be seen with her Grandpa. In that moment each
child took responsibility for themselves. Each travelled to
be with the adults. None were left behind.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Lager Beer: How did "lager beer" get that name?
The German word lager means a "storehouse". The barrels of
lager beer are placed in a storehouse for their contents to
age.

HA! HA! HA!
While I was working in the men's section of a department
store, a woman asked me to help her choose a white dress
shirt for her husband.
When I asked about his size, the woman looked stumped at
first, then her face brightened. She held up her hands,
forming a circle with her forefingers and thumbs.
"I don't know his size," she said, "but my hands fit per-
fectly around his neck."
