cold winter comming
It's late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota
asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the
old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was
going to be like.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter
was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should
collect firewood to be prepared.
But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He
went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is
the coming winter going to be cold?'
'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist
at the weather service responded.
So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more
firewood in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it
still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?'
'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to
be a very cold winter.' </span>
The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every
scrap of firewood they could find.
Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again.
'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?'
'Absolutely,' the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it is
going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.'
'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked.
The weatherman replied,'The Indians are collecting a ****load of firewood'iv`e used up all my sick days at work .. can i call in dead ?

Hey Gang, I've just started buying a different 30 gal trash bag for my kitchen and houshold trash and I am very happy with them, especially the money I am saving.
At first I was reluctant because I didn't think they would hold up as well as what I had been buying but they have held up nicely and none have busted open ?yet?. I've been using them for almost amonth now and I'll buy more until something changes.
The pic below shows both bags that I have been using. The top one is the "new" clear plastic trash bags that cost around less than $3 and the bottom box is the ones I used to use that are a Walmart brand and are 3 times as expensive for the same amount of bags.
Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know about this new "money saving find" so if anyone wants to try them they can.
With our economy being in the shape that it's in and being on a fixed income - - - - ?WELL? you get the picture - - - - every little bit helps.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Anita Bryant was my guess, she has a similar look and used to do all the OJ adds, so I figured Florida plates were a hint. Rita is better!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.
