Nancy's Nuggets:
Husbands and Wives


A husband was reading the newspaper and found an interesting article. He read it aloud to his wife. It stated scientific research about how many words women use a day. It claimed that women used 30,000 words every day as compared to a man's use of approximately 15,000.

The wife replied, "I'm not surprised by that at all. Do you want to know the reason? I'll tell you. The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything we say to men."

The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

Building A Fence


Three contractors were visiting a tourist attraction on the same day. One was from New York, another from Texas, and the third from Florida.

At the end of the tour, the guard asked them what they did for a living. When they all replied that they were contractors, the guard said, "Hey, we need one of the rear fences redone. Why don't you guys take a look at it and give me a bid?" So, to the back fence they all went to check it out.

First to step up was the Florida contractor. He took out his tape measure and pencil, did some measuring and said, "Well I figure the job will run about $900. $400 for materials, $400 for my crew, and $100 profit for me."

Next was the Texas contractor. He also took out his tape measure and pencil, did some quick figuring and said, "Looks like I can do this job for $700. $300 for materials, $300 for my crew, and $100 profit for me."

Without so much as moving, the New York contractor said, "$2,700."

The guard, incredulous, looked at him and said, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"

"Easy," he said. "$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you and we hire the guy from Texas."

Vendor Spotlight:
Jeanne Stuemke

The first time I saw an antique postcard with beautiful flowers and flowery words, I was hooked. I started collecting these wonderful old cards from the early 1900s, and it wasn't long before I had a large collection. I needed to find a way to use them.

One day I was at a craft show and saw a display of handmade greeting cards. A light bulb went on! I could make these antique postcards into handmade greeting cards and send them to my friends and family for birthdays and holidays. That is what I did.

I love making these cards and made a hundred or so and wanted to make more. I don't have enough family and friends to send this many cards to, so I had to think of more ways to use these cards. Another light bulb went off – I could sell these cards! Victorian Cards was born. I already had two web sites where I sold antiques, so I created another web site for Victorian Cards. As they say, the rest is history.

Final Thought

We congratulate Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States, on being named Nobel Laurate for his environmental work. In his honor, we remember the words of another former Vice President and his comments on the environment.

It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it ... Dan Quayle
