Good morning! Thanks for pouring, Libby.

[sweetliberty]

I figured it's at least a 7 cupper this mornin'.

[phantomworker]

HI, BQ! Are you going out shopping today? I think I better get a move on or it will get too crowded too quickly.

Just want to get out there and absorb some of the Christmas spirit before it gets too crazy! And it turns into bah humbug! LOL!

[Borax Queen]

Hey Phantom! I tried to go shopping yesterday and it was already manic - on the roads and in the stores by 10:30 am. I couldn't believe it. Bumper to bumper 30 mph in 40 zones. It appears no one works in Tucson on weekdays. I was completely agitated by the time I got home.

Off to do some quick errands - good luck with yours! See ya soon. p.s. how did your chapters go?

[Letitring]

Good morning Everyone.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, a bit in advance.

Love you all.

[phantomworker]

Well I finished the chapters, turned it in, so now it's all over except for the crying. LOL I shouldn't have waited until the last minute. Thanks for asking. I hope I don't get dropped from the program. Maybe I can grovel and say I'll work harder next time. ;)

What other things have you been doing now that you have the time off? Is the weather nice and warm there?

[phantomworker]

Yeah, be nice to the innocent aquatics! Those that like Shrek! It was good, but there was too much angst in the movie wasn't there? I can't handle angst. ;) Hmmm, let's analyze that one... LOL!

Morning, Sharky, My wireless keeps going on and off, so better get this sent before it goes again. I really have to get out and check out the Christmas decorations in the stores. bbl

[Letitring]

Be certain and take your money/credit cards, etc. Decorations are beautiful this year. I've been delighted with mine.

Think next year I am going Pink and silver, so bright it will be blinding. LOL.

[Letitring]

Where is everyone today? I suppose I've missed you all again. Sigh.

INFANT DISCOVERED IN BARN, CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES LAUNCH
PROBE

Nazareth Carpenter Being Held On Charges Involving Underage Mother

Bethlehem, Judea - Authorities were today alerted by a concerned citizen who noticed a family living in a barn. Upon arrival, Family Protective Service personnel, accompanied by police, took into protective care an infant child named Jesus, who had been wrapped in strips of cloth and placed in a feeding trough by his 14-year old mother, Mary of Nazareth.

During the confrontation, a man identified as Joseph, also of Nazareth, attempted to stop the social workers. Joseph, aided by several local shepherds and some unidentified foreigners, tried to forestall efforts to take the child, but were restrained by the police.

Also being held for questioning are three foreigners who allege to be wise men from an eastern country. The INS and Homeland Security officials are seeking information about these who may be in the country illegally. A source with the INS states that they had no passports, but were in possession of gold and other possibly illegal substances. They resisted arrest saying that they had been warned by God to avoid officials in Jerusalem and to return quickly to their own country. The chemical substances in their possession will be tested.

The owner of the barn is also being held for questioning. The manager Bethlehem Inn faces possible revocation of his license for violating health and safety regulations by allowing people to stay in the stable. Civil authorities are also investigating the zoning violations involved in maintaining livestock in a commercially-zoned district.

The location of the minor child will not be released, and the prospect for a quick resolution to this case is doubtful. Asked about when Jesus would be returned to his mother, a Child Protective Service spokesperson said, "The father is middle-aged and the mother definitely underage. We are checking with officials in Nazareth to determine what their legal relationship is.

Joseph has admitted taking Mary from her home in Nazareth because of a census requirement. However, because she was obviously pregnant when they left, investigators are looking into other reasons for their departure. Joseph is being held without bond on charges of molestation, kidnapping, child endangerment, and statutory rape.

Mary was taken to the Bethlehem General Hospital where she is being examined by doctors. Charges may also be filed against her for endangerment. She will also undergo psychiatric evaluation because of her claim that she is a virgin and that the child is from God.

The director of the psychiatric wing said, "I don't profess to have the right to tell people what to believe, but when their beliefs adversely affect the safety and well-being of others - in this case her child - we must consider her a danger to others. The unidentified drugs at the scene didn't help her case, but I'm confidant that with the proper therapy regiment we can get her back on her feet."

A spokesperson for the governor's office said, "Who knows what was going through their heads? But regardless, their treatment of the child was inexcusable, and the involvement of these others frightening. There is much we don't know about this case, but for the sake of the child and the public, you can be assured that we will pursue this matter to the end."

Okay, I'm gone. Got to be somewhere Noonish and I'm still in my jammies.

[Letitring]

ROFLOL. Smooches Nully.

[Letitring]

Hey Sweetie!

I plan to be in Hot Springs, Arkansas, in and around Feb/Mar of 06. How close to you is that? I'll get you exact dates when I find out when a certain horse is running. :)

I don't know if you care for horse racing but there USED to be a pretty good Italian resturant across the street from the track. If not there, perhaps we can meet for a quick bite and some blue thingies. :) Will try to be more percise WHEN I can find out if the horse is running. :)

In a small town in the Old Country, the Rabbi died. His widow, the Rebbetzin, was so disconsolate that the people of the town decided that she ought to get married again. But the town was so small that the only eligible bachelor was the town butcher.

The poor Rebbetzin was somewhat dismayed because she had been wed to a scholar, and the butcher had no great formal education. However, she was lonely, so she agreed, and they were married.

After the marriage, Friday came. She went to the mikvah (a Jewish ritual bath to get rid of impurities). Then, she went home to prepare to light the candles. The butcher leaned over to her and said, "My mother told me that after the mikvah and before lighting the candles, it's a mitzvah to have sex." So they did.

She lit the candles. He leaned over again and said, "My father told me that after lighting the candles it's good to have sex." So they did.

They went to bed after prayers to get ready for Shabbos. When they awoke he said to her, "My grandmother said that before you go to the synagogue it's a mitzvah to have sex." So they did.

After praying all morning, they came home to rest; and again he whispers in her ear, "My grandfather says after praying it's a mitzvah to have sex." So they did.

On Sunday she went out to shop for food and met a friend who asked, "Nu, so how is the new husband?"

She replied, "Well, he is no scholar; but he comes from a wonderful family."
