Grass ... from a slightly different point of view. GOD: Frank, you know all about gardens and nature, what in the world is going on down there in the US? What in the world happened to the dandelions, violets, thistles and the stuff I started eons ago? I had a perfect no-maintenance garden plan. Those plants grow in any type of soil, withstand drought and multiply with abandon. The nectar from the long lasting blossoms attracts butterflies, honey bees and flocks of songbirds. I expected to see a vast garden of color by now. All I see are patches of green. ST. FRANCIS: It's the tribes that settled there, Lord. They are called the Suburbanites. They started calling your flowers "weeds" and went to great lengths to kill them and replace them with grass. GOD: Grass? But it is so boring, it's not colorful. It doesn't attract bees, butterflies or birds, only grubs and sod worms. It's temperamental with temperatures. Do these Suburbanites really want grass growing there? ST. FRANCIS: Apparently so, Lord. They go to great pains to grow it and keep it green. They begin each spring by fertilizing it and poisoning any other plant that crops up in the lawn. GOD: The spring rains and the warm weather probably makes the grass grow really fast. That must make the Suburbanites very happy. ST. FRANCIS: Apparently not, Lord. As soon as it has grown a little, they cut it--sometimes two times a week. GOD: They cut it? Do they bale it like hay? ST. FRANCIS: Not exactly, Lord. Most of them rake it up and put it in bags. GOD: They bag it? Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they sell it? ST. FRANCIS: No sir, just the opposite. They pay to throw it away. GOD: Now let me get this straight: They fertilize it to make it grow and when it does grow, they cut it off and pay to throw it away? ST. FRANCIS: Yes, sir. GOD: These Suburbanites must be relieved in the summer when we cut back on the rain and turn up the heat. That surely slows the growth and saves them a lot of work. ST. FRANCIS: You aren't going to believe this, Lord. When the grass stops growing so fast, they drag out hoses and pay more money to water it so they can continue to mow it and pay to get rid of it. GOD: What nonsense! At least they kept some of the trees. That was a sheer stroke of genius, if I do say so myself. The trees grow leaves in the spring to provide beauty and shade in summer. In the autumn, they fall to the ground and form a natural blanket to keep the moisture in the soil and protect the trees and bushes. Plus, as they rot, the leaves become compost to enhance the soil. It's a natural circle of life. Author Unknown ST. FRANCIS: You'd better sit down, Lord. As soon as the leaves fall, the Suburbanites rake them into great piles and pay to have them hauled away. GOD: No way! What do they do to protect the shrubs and tree roots in the winter to keep the soil moist and loose? ST. FRANCIS: After throwing the leaves away, they go out and buy something called mulch. They haul it home and spread it around in place of the leaves. GOD: And where do they get this mulch? ST. FRANCIS: They cut down the trees and grind them up to make mulch. GOD: Enough!! I don't want to think about this anymore. Saint Catherine, you're in charge of the arts. What movie have you scheduled for us tonight? ST. CATHERINE: "Dumb and Dumber", Lord. It's a real stupid movie about... GOD: Never mind---I think I just heard the whole story from Saint Francis... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious. For those who have children this age, this is not funny. For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning. For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control. THE FOLLOWING CAME FROM AN ANONYMOUS MOTHER IN AUSTIN, TEXAS: THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM MY CHILDREN (HONEST & NO KIDDING): 1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep. 2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite. 3. A 3-year old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant. 4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 room. 5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way. 6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan. 7. When you hear! the toilet flush and the words "Uh oh", it's already too late. 8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it. 9. A six-year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies. 10. Certain Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old. 11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence. 12. Super Glue is forever. 13. No matter how much Jell-o you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water. 14. Pool filters do not like Jell-o. 15. VCRs do not eject PB & J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do. 16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes. 17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving. 18. You probably do not want to know what that odor is. 19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens. 20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time. 21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy. 22. It will, however, make cats dizzy. 23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy. 24. The mind of a 6-year old is wonderful. First grade...true story: One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read, "...And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'" The teacher paused, then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?" One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said...'Holy sh_t! A talking pig!" The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes. 25. 60% of men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

CHERI, I LOST YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. PLEASE EMAIL ME AS I HAVE 2 PICTURES OF AUGUST KOCH TO SEND YOU. KEVIN KLOWERY@FRONTIERNET.NET

Could someone please look up the burial of August Koch and his wife Caroline Dietrich? They are supposed to be buried in the Danvers area. Thanks, Cheri

Marilyn, as they say, "Been there, done that." So many of my so-called brainstorms lead to no-where land. Happy Hunting and Thanks for the census info. Shari

dose anyone have access to the 1890 census and would do a look up for me? Debs

Tanya, thanks for the census info. Shari

Regarding the question about IL state census'--Illinois had 1825-1835-1845-and the last was in 1865. These were basically agriculture census. They list head of household only by name and sometimes how many people were in the household by gender and ages. Not all of these census are complete. These state census can be found at the IL State Archives. They are NOT indexed, so if you write to them, they have to know a location. I have a list of all the states & what state census each may have had. Doris

Hi Marilyn. Shari in SC here. I did not think any census except the very early ones were 5 years apart. I know Iowa had one that was 5 yrs. apart. Amost all the censuses were every ten years, i.e. 1840, 1850, etc. If you find those years, let me know. I would love to find some ancestors. Shari

Are any of the state census' for McLean and Logan on-line? If so, where do I go - not Ancestery - I don't go there. Looking for 1885 and 1905. Thanks Marilyn - Fla.

Can anyone on the list give me general directions to Hopewell Cemetery???? And, Does anyone know if the old Garr Cemetery is still in existence. Any help from the list with this info would be appreciated. thanks Leslie

First, my family lived in Mclean and the people I'm looking for died in Mclean. The Obit of one says they are buried in Bethel Cemetery. I can't find a Bethel Cem. in Mclean County...(other counties, yes)...does anyone know of one? My Second question is off topic. A cousin I found on the internet that has shared info with me actually has some old 8mm tapes of my Gr Grandparents, who I never met. He's sending them to me and it's up to me to get them transferred to VHS, Has anyone done this with there old tapes? If so what is the going price to get it done? debs

Does any one know who owns the property Indian Field Cemetery is on?

Hi Everyone, Does anyone on the list have any cemetery records for Lexington Township in Mclean Co.? If so, could you email me. I could really use a Lookup!!! :) Thanks in advance to anyone, Leslie

I know it doesnt show on later maps - I believe it might have been in or around Old Town Township. It is on the early census's. Leslie

Does anyone on the list have listings for any Cemeteries in Padua Township in Mclean. I am looking to find a group of several family members who are most likely buried in or around that township. If anyone does email me off the list and I will give you the details such as name and aprox date of death. Thanks, Leslie Maurice
