Vicky, Yuck, that sounds like a gruesome job, like a death watch. There's only one licence here, per person, and the season is short, thank heavens. If hunters weren't out in the woods it wouldn't flush the deer onto the roads, there wouldn't be any roadkill, and some human lives would be spared as well. I hate driving during hunting season, the deer dash arcross roads and then you know how stunned they get in headlights. We hit a deer, a couple of years ago, did over $3000 damage to our car and darn near came through the windshield. What does a person do with three deer in their freezer, give it to others?

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. The next week the man realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5.00am for an early flight to Sydney. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he finally wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5.00am". The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9.00am, and that he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't awakened him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed....it said..."It is 5:00am, wake up!" : : --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Three deer has saved us a lot of grocery bills. Plus we make jerky out of it. And give it as 'gifts' to my folks, my very best friend, our pastor [there is 6 in his household], and other's if they ask, like John's sister. We usually make 'hamburger', stew, steaks, roast, and jerky.

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Do not set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them, for without them, life is meaningless. Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other. Do not be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is too hold it too tightly. The best way to keep love is to give it wings. Do not dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose. Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Life is not a race... but a journey to be savored! Anonymous --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

The children's pastor at the local mega-church was teaching some children in the Sunday morning children's church a lesson about God and all the animals He had created. He decided to begin his lesson with a riddle: "What is it that collects nuts for the winter, climbs trees, and has a bushy tail?" An eager little girl near the front waved her hand. The pastor called on her. "Well," she said, "I know the answer's supposed to be Jesus, but it sure sounds like a squirrel to me." --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Just another soggy Seattle Sysop. It was the first day of school in Dallas and a new student named Suzuki, the son of a Japanese businessman, entered the fourth grade. The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. Who said, "Give me Liberty, or give me Death?" She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Suzuki, who had his hand up. "Patrick Henry, 1775," He said. "Very good! Who said, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth"? Again, no response except from Suzuki: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863," said Suzuki. The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Suzuki, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do." She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Japs." "Who said that?" she demanded. Suzuki put his hand up. "Lee Iacocca, 1982." At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke." The teacher glares and asks "All right! Now, who said that?" Again, Suzuki says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991." Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!" Suzuki jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!" Now with almost a mob hysteria someone said, "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you." Suzuki frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy 2001." The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're screwed," and Suzuki said, "TheTaliban, 2001" !
