I will be fine as long as no one shakes me up like a soda.

Glad to hear elf-boy is better. And that PE is being taken care of. Now, must try not to shake you up like a soda.... but, I just got this email joke from my uncle!

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Hang on to any of the new State of Texas quarters. If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents.

The U.S. Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the Texas quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. "We are recalling all the new Texas quarters that were recently issued, "Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday.

"This action is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices."

The quarters were issued in the order in which the various states joined the U.S. and have been a tremendous success among coin collectors worldwide.

"The problem lies in the unique design of the Texas quarter, which was created by a Texas A&M graduate, Shackleford said.

"Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices.

ROFLMAO gotta love aggie jokes. In other news... PE is drugged with antibiotics, with a bowl of homemade tortilla soup on the bedside table.
