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
-----------------
Be Careful What You Wish For!
There once was this guy that got a dirty old lamp for his
birthday. He cleaned it up and POOF!--out popped a
genie!
"I shall give you three wishes. You may have anything
you like."
So the guys thinks for a minute and says, "I would like
a billion dollars."
"You shall have it," and the genie grants him the wish.
"Anything else?"
The guy thinks for a while. Then, "I would like a VW Bug
with A/C, power locks, power windows, 10-disk changer,
you know the works."
"Your wish is my command. What is your last wish?"
"Hmmm. I think I'll save it for a rainy day."
"OK, suit yourself," says the genie.
So the guy gets in his new VW and goes for a drive to
show all his friends. He turns on the radio. There's a very
familiar commercial on. The guy starts singing to it:
"I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener."
While the joke above might serve as an introduction to the
subject the advice in the title is nonetheless sound advice.
Many of us have an image of "being rich" without having
any real idea what that means. I don't know how many
times I have heard "When I win the lottery ..." only to find
the end result is one has spent $10 or $20 for nothing.
The only ones getting rich are the lotteries.
However, what would you do if you did win a lottery?
Suddenly you would not have to work anymore, that's one
thing, but that is one of the bitter pills. When you no longer
maintain your discipline, your sense of regimen, your
purpose, you have lost life. When that happens you flounder
and, like every other big lottery winner you proceed to destroy
you marriage, your relationships, your life.
One of the problems is that one who has no money has no
idea how to handle large amounts of money. They just don't.
That is a learned thing. It has to be acquired over years. If
you think otherwise you are fooling yourself.
That is why success at what you do is more valuable than
to win a lottery. You learn over time and become used to
the fruits of success. The joke above reveals what happens.
The mindset of the individual was not consistent with the new
condition. He went right on doing what he used to do, hum
and sing to the catchy commercial when he should have
been attentive to the new condition. You think thats a joke?
You should see the decisions that are made by those who
fall into sudden money without them having experience first.

Do You Have Trouble Staying Awake After A Meal?
This Might Be The Reason...
(Healthy Habits Aren't Convenient . . . They're A Choice.)
PART 1 of 6
Do you ever find yourself sleepy and unable to concentrate
after eating a substantial meal? And you ate because you
were hungry and needed to get some work done? The last
thing you need is a nap, but that would feel soooo good right
now... just to close your eyes for a few minutes. Not a good
idea in case the boss walks in...
A little while ago someone mentioned that they fell asleep
after lunch and/or dinner almost all the time. I decided to
do a little research because I think most of us have done this
at one time or another, but not routinely. The term for this
condition is called post-prandial fatigue: "post" being "after"
and "grandial" being "meal". It is typical for people to experience
some fatigue after eating a mid-day meal. But I have never
thought there could be an underlying problem. I discovered
that there is a problem, but there is also a solution and it's a
pleasant one! There could be several reasons why this is
happening: the composition of the meal components, i.e. fats,
proteins, and carbohydrates, lack of water in your body
(dehydration), irregular or skipped meals, and sugar spikes
from big meals.
There are other reasons, but these are good ones to start with.

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 . . . . . . .

"Here is a good place to start. Hello
Midnight. We brought some guests here to visit our
village. Say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Sparks. Mrs.
Sparks this is Midnight. She is a black jaguar,
commonly called panthers. She guards our village
and is usually pretty nosey about anything new.
That is why she came over to see what was going
on. This is her latest cub, a little girl. Neither
Midnight or the cub will harm you. She has been
with us, or with me, since my first trip down to
this country. You do know about that."
"Yes, Eloise. I do know about that. You were a
brave girl to come this far and do what you had to
do. Are you sure the cat will not hurt me?"
"She won't harm you. Put out your hand and she
will come to you so you can pet her. Little AliAnn
plays with her a lot, as do the other village
children. She is presently about 10 years old."
Evelyn held out her hand and true to Eloise's
word Midnight saw it and came over. Both Darryl
and Evelyn petted the cat. It was a relief to have
that over. The cat was no longer the threat it
once was to the newcomers.
Eloise and Mazunta began to walk. The group
followed them. Eloise stopped and took Evelyn into
the family home. It was not very large and without
any amenities.
"Eloise, how do you live like this? You have
no furniture, no utensils, not even a place to sit
except maybe that bench outside the door. This is
a drastic change from where you were raised."
"It sure is. However, Evelyn, think of how I
arrived here. I was placed out in the wild without
anything. I had to learn who I was and what to do.
I had not even a house or place to stay. In the
rainy season the rains come down so hard
everything is wet. So I had to learn to sit on the
ground, be happy with what I was and where I was
and with what I had to eat and drink. It was,
overall, a humbling experience. But I did find I
did not need the fancy chesterfield suite, or the
television set, of the spring filled mattress. I
found out who I was and that became much more
important than anything else. I can manifest the
furniture I need or want, but why should I burden
myself with all the chores you have to go through?
This way life is simple and I concern myself about
life. There is no better place in the world to
raise kids. Here they can learn about real life
rather than 'man made' life."
"Bu...but this is so primitive." Evelyn Sparks
was shocked that Eloise would choose to leave the
kind of life she could have in Pinehill in favor
of this. It was clear she was not yet here long
enough to have the villagers cast their spell of
love, peace, joy and stress free living.
"Hello Mr. Sparks. How are you?"
Darryl Sparks turned around in surprise that
anyone else was here who knew him.
"My goodness. David Wiley. How are you? I
heard you lived here. I haven't seen you for a
very long while. How are you doing David?"
"I'm fine, Sir. Is this your wife?"
"Yes it is, David. Evelyn, this is David
Wiley." Darryl stopped long enough for David and
Evelyn to shake hands. "I heard your Mother lived
here too. How is she David?"
"She is fine. She isn't here right now. She
and a friend are on an extended journey in China.
I haven't seen Mom for nearly two months now, but
she is fine."
"David, are you one of those...?"
"Yes, Mr. Sparks. You mean do I live by higher
law? The answer is yes. It took me a long time
before I believed. I thought it was all phony. I
thought that if you had money you were powerful,
or if you had influence you were powerful. I found
out both those notions are wrong. Power and peace,
real peace, both lie with higher law. You must go
inside to find both. It took me some time to find
that, but I did. Here I and my family are happy
and content."
"Sam tells me you married a Pinehill girl. How
has she adapted to the change?"
"Wonderfully. She would not go home to live.
She wants to live here. We now have two kids. This
is a great place to raise kids. We are teaching
them in the ways of higher law. They will be fine
for all their lives. Same with Eloise and her
kids. Did you know that Mazunta is our village
headman? Back home you would call him a mayor, but
here he is a leader whom all in the village look
up to and respect."
"I didn't know that. He is certainly of
magnificent stature. He would be a leader in any
society."
"That's true. He, too, lives by higher law."
"Yes, I know. I admire the man."
The group was moving on and seeing the rest of
the village.
"I'll see you when you get over by our place."
David bid Darryl good bye.

"Always be eager to learn, no matter how successful you
might already be. In the Millionaires' Club, we sometimes
invite a billionaire to come talk to us. He says, 'You're doing
okay, but come on. How about if you really poured it on!'"

HA! HA! HA!
The woman's husband had been slipping in and out of
a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his
bedside every single day. One day, when he came to,
he motioned for her to come nearer.
As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears,
"My dearest, you have been with me all through the bad
times. When I got fired, you were there to support me.
When my business failed, you were there. When I got
shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house,
you stayed right here. When my health started
failing, you were still by my side. You know what?"
"What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her heart
began to fill with warmth.
"I think you're bad luck."
