Oh Glenda.....that really makes you think, doesn't it. Think I had better buy some marbles. Maggie

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable. A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the kitchen with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time. Let me tell you about it. I turned the volume up on my radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning talk show. I heard an older sounding chap with a golden voice. You know the kind, he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business himself. He was talking about "a thousand marbles" to someone named "Tom". I was intrigued and sat down to listen to what he had to say. "Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to be- lieve a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. Too bad you missed your daughter's dance recital." He continued, "Let me tell you something Tom, something that has helped me keep a good perspective on my own priorities." And that's when he began to explain his theory of a "thousand marbles." "You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years." "Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900 which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime. Now stick with me Tom, I'm getting to the important part." "It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail", he went on, "and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventyfive, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy." "So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round-up 1000 marbles. I took them home and put them in- side of a large, clear plastic container right here in my workshop next to the radio. Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away." "I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight." "Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure if I make it until next Saturday then God has blessed me with a little extra time to be with my loved ones...... "It was nice to talk to you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your loved ones, and I hope to meet you again someday. Have a good morning!" You could have heard a pin drop when he finished. Even the show's moderator didn't have anything to say for a few moments. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to do some work that morning, then go to the gym. Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. "C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast." "What brought this on?" she asked with a smile. "Oh, nothing special," I said. " It has just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. Hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles." HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND MAY ALL SATURDAYS BE SPECIAL AND MAY YOU HAVE MANY HAPPY YEARS AFTER YOU LOSE ALL YOUR MAR- BLES.

Hello Elizabeth, Welcome ! I assume you mean Penrith Cumberland that was , not somewhere in Wales ? I would suggest you take a look at the url below, which will tell you how to view the records of Births Marriages and Deaths ( or at least find the index entry ). It's unlikely the church will be able to help much - in theory their registers have been deposited elsewhere , or should have been ! http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/CUL/Penrith/ Pictures and info on the church :- http://www.btinternet.com/~lake.district/pen/chp2.htm Maybe Sue from Kendal can give you more info I looked on the IGI for you , but the records don't go up as far as 1864 it seems ( www.familysearch.org ) Regards Dave. > Hi! > I am researching a family, father was Thomas > Stubbs, mother Mary Jackson.

I was sent this today and I thought you might enjoy it. Maggie A guy buys a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee for $38,000 and has $600+ monthly payments. He and a friend go duck hunting and of course, this being January, all the lakes are frozen. These two guys go to the lake with the guns, the dog, the beer and of course the new vehicle. They drive out onto the lake ice and get ready. Now, they want to make some kind of a natural landing area for the ducks, something for the decoys to float on. In order to make a hole large enough to look like something a wandering duck would fly down and land on, it is going to take a little more effort than an ice-fishing-hole drill. So, out of the back of the new Grand Cherokee comes a stick of dynamite, the kind with a short, 40-second fuse. Now these two rocket scientists DO have enough brains to consider how to place the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they (and the new Jeep) are standing. They don't want to take the risk of slipping on the ice when they run from the burning fuse and possibly go up in smoke with the resulting blast, so they decide to light this 40-second fuse and throw the dynamite. Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the vehicle, the beer, the guns and the dog? Yes, the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for retrieving; they especially love to retrieve things thrown by the owner. You guessed it, the dog takes off at a high rate of doggy speed on the ice and captures the stick of dynamite with the burning 40-second fuse about the time it hits the ice. The two men yell, scream, wave arms and wonder what to do now. The dog, cheered on by this, keeps coming. One of the guys grabs his shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is loaded with #8 duck shot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog slows for a moment, slightly confused, but continues on. Another shot and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused and of course is terrified, thinking these two Nobel Prize winners have gone insane. The dog, being probably the smarted pencil in this particular box, takes off to find cover.......under the brand-new Cherokee. ----BOOM!---- Dog and Cherokee are blown to bits and sink to the bottom of the lake in a very large hole, leaving the two idiots standing there with an "I can't believe this happened" look on their faces. The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by the use of illegal explosives is not covered and refuses to hear of paying.

Hi! I am researching a family, father was Thomas Stubbs, mother Mary Jackson. They had at least one child, a daughter Annie Mary, who was baptized at St. Andrew's Church, Penrith, in October 1864. The family lived on London Road,Penrith at the time. I read an article indicating St. Andrew's was/is? the Cathedral Church for Penrith and remains so today. I do not know how accurate this is and would be interested in verification. I also would like the correct address (including Postal Code that is very important, I've discovered) for St. Andrew's. I would like to write and hopefully find siblings of Annie Mary and the marriage record of Thomas and Mary. I'm a dreamer, I know!! Sometimes we just luck-out---I'm hopeful!! If the names and location ring a bell with any of you, and if someone can give me the address of St. Andrew's, I'll be most appreciative. Looking forward to hearing and I thank you very much!!
