Tidbits of Wisdom If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it will always be yours. If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with. BUT ... if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and doesn't appear to realize that you had set it free ... you either married it or gave birth to it. My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely. The nice part about living in a small town: When you don't know what you're doing, someone else always does. The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight shoes. Amazine!! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks two sizes! Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today. Sometimes I think I understand everything ... then I regain consciousness. Visit Nancy at www.belovedembroidery.com. I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner. I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some wine with it instead of dinner?" "No, I had to stop drinking years ago", the homeless woman told me. "Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" I asked. "No, I don't waste time shopping," the homeless woman said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive." "Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" I asked. 'Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!" "Well," I said, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight." The homeless woman was shocked. "Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting. I said, "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine." Courtesy of Pam from www.sacredgardensoap.com. Airbag systems, considered supplemental restraint systems, are meant to be used in conjunction with seat belts. The California Highway Alliance recently found 1 of out every 25 previously damaged vehicles inspected had phony or dummy airbags! Victims of airbag fraud have found everything from packing peanuts to paper towels, old shoes to aluminum cans stuffed into steering wheel and dash-board airbag compartments to fill the space that should be taken up by the airbag. According to the National Association of Consumers Advocates and the Consumer Federation of America, each year approximately 2.5 million vehicles are totaled by insurance companies and issued salvage titles. More than 1 million of those or 2 out of every 5 were rebuilt and put back on the road. Carfax vehicle history reports can indicate salvage (junk) titled vehicles, vehicles that have been involved in major accidents and in some states notes airbag deployment. Only a handful of states have laws regulating airbag system replacement. If you have a used car and wish to check if there is any history of airbag deployment in your car, Carfax is offering a free check at www.carfax.com/airbag |

A man in Fort Collins, Colorado robbed the same 7-Eleven store twice in one day. He told the clerk during the second robbery that he'd be back in a few hours to rob it a third time. Sure enough, he returned a few hours later and was arrested by detectives still in the store investigating the first and second robberies. A man who attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived on scene to find an ill man, curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline but unknowingly plugged his hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. A man walked into a convenience store, put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, he pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer? $15.00 Believe it or not, as your kids have just started the new semester in school and the early signs of autumn are in the air, we at QFLEA are working on our official holiday sale. This year, there are eighty businesses ready to advertise on our special holiday website, scheduled to launch on October 1. Each of those ads will also appear in upcoming editions of our newsletter. I hope you'll give special consideration to our QFLEA vendors this holiday season. Rather than running to the mall, struggling for parking, wasting gas and fighting crowds, we invite you to pour yourself a nice cup of your favorite beverage, sit back and enjoy our QFLEA holiday sale. "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence? ... George Carlin. |
