Nancy's Nuggets: $100
A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. So he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00.
When the postal authorities received the letter to God , USA , they decided to send it to the President. The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill. The president thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:
Dear God: Thank you very much for sending me the money. I received it yesterday. However, I noticed that for some strange reason you sent it through Washington, D.C. Do you know those jerks deducted $95.00 in taxes!

Vendor Spotlight: Ilene Shaffer
Soap making was suppose to be a hobby when I started making soap five years ago. Then I got interested in which oils I should use to make a soap kind to skin and friends started telling me I should share this soap with others and make a business of it. A local health food store started offering my soap and the business has expanded ever since.
As a practicing herbalist my interests leaned toward making more than just fragranced soaps. I wanted to make products that helped people alleviate some skin conditions, insect bites, sprains, sore muscles, oily skin & blemishes and a variety of other ailments.
Hearing people tell me my products work so well for them, having them tell me their condition is eased because of what I make is one of the most satisfying things in my life and formulating new products to continue this mission, is my mission!

Two Dumb Truckers
While driving along the back roads of a small town, two not-so-smart truck drivers came to an overpass with a sign that read CLEARANCE 11'3".
They got out, looked at the sign, and then took out a tape measure. They measured their rig, which was 12'4".
They got back into their truck when one asked the other, "What do you think?"
The driver looked around very carefully, then started the truck and shifted into first gear. "I don't see a copy anywhere in sight. Let's take a chance!"

Tough Teacher
A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. The cast fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all.
On the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then started to get busy with some work on his desk.
Suddenly a strong breeze came up, making his tie flap. He reached for the desk stapler and he stapled his tie to his chest.
He had no trouble with discipline that term.
Final Thought
"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?" ... George Carlin.
