I BELIEVE THE FOLLOWING LIST
WAS WRITTEN BY A WOMEN!
We think it was LULU and her gang----

"10-Top Reasons Eve Was Created"

10. God worried that Adam would frequently become lost in the garden because he would not ask for directions.

9. God knew that Adam would one day require someone to locate and hand him the TV remote.

8. God knew that Adam would never go out and get himself a new fig leaf when his seat wore out and would therefore need Eve to get one for him.

7. God knew that Adam would never be able to make a doctor's, dentist or haircut appointment for himself.

6. God knew that Adam would never be able to remember which night to put the garbage on the curb.

5. God knew that if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle the pain and discomfort of childbearing.

4. As Keeper of the Garden Adam would never remember where he left his tools.

3. Apparently, Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.

2. As the Bible says, It is not good for man to be alone!

1. When God finished the creation of Adam,
He stepped back, scratched His head and said,
"I can do better than that."

NOTE:garfield and the back alley gang and me
MAN MOUNTAIN DEAN disclaim any knowlege or
blame for the above list!
We think LULU and her girls are to blame!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
MAN MOUNTAIN DEAN AND THE GANG!

GETTING OLD?.....DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN?

REMEMBER WHEN...

* Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo."

* Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"

* "Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

* Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in
"Monopoly."
* Catching fireflies happily occupied an entire evening.

* It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.

* Being old, referred to anyone over 20.(AH yes I do)

* The net on a tennis court was the perfect height to play volleyball and rules didn't matter.

* The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.

* It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.

* It was unbelievable that dodgeball wasn't an Olympic event.

* Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a slingshot.

* Nobody was prettier than Mom.

* Dad was the strongest man alive.

* Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.

* It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park.

* Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.

* Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare."

* Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute ads for action
figures.
* No shopping trip was complete, unless a new toy was brought home.
* "Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense.

* Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
* The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.

* War was a card game.

* Water balloons were the ultimate weapons.

* Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle.

* Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable vitamins.

* Ice cream was considered a basic food group.

* Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors.

AH YES, our child hood memories we may grow old but they keep us
young! don't concern yourself too much with
the pass, because each day brings a new memory
One that is filled with Joy, sorrow, worry, and pain.
but remember this, if you are lucky enough to have children,
than you can help them through the daily Bumps of life.
I have experience all that life can give. I have nevr been a
rich man, but, I must say I am the richest man on earth if you
count LOVE, I have had a wonderful women that loved me and my children for over 35 years. she gave me 4 daughers, who in turn have blessed me with 6 grandchildren and now I await the new arrival of a wonderful
great grand daughter next month.
So you see my dear readers and friends each day is a new day of memories. "I have been down and I have been up. but never knocked out"
What I am trying to say is not to give up your hopes and dreams
you can make it because God loves you and so do I!

I hope you have a GREAT DAY and I hope you enjoy my efforts
please leave your comments on the comment page and I will try and answer you I have not been feeling the best and I get tired real easy
so please understand and keep me and my family in your prayers
thanks

YOU KNOW WITH JOBS AND MONEY SO LITTLE THE FOLKS AT THE LOCAL CHURCH COULD NOT GIVE TOO MUCH TO THE CHURCH,
AND THE PASTOR WAS REALLY IN A BIND BECAUSE HE HAD TO PAY HIS BILLS
TOO
WELL ONE DAY A LOCAL BUSINESS MAN CAME IN AND OFFERED THIS
TO HIM. READ ON

"THE DISCREET ADVERTISING"
A clergyman struggled along with a small congregation in a small neighborhood. A commercial firm offered to supply free hymn books, provided they could insert a bit of discreet advertising into the hymnals. The pastor was reluctant but finally agreed. When the hymnals arrived, he eagerly examined them and was delighted to find no brash advertisements on or inside the covers.

The next Sunday, his flock began to sing from the hymnals. All went well until the THIRD song, in which the congregation lifted their voices in unison to the melodious notes of:

Hark the herald angels sing,
Hanson's pills are just the thing;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
Two for men and one for child.

This was a made up story!
Guess it won't be long till we see this in our churches
It is a shame, but the sign of the times
but it is funny

YOUR FRIENDS,

AH YES; SUMMER IS ALMOST GONE! THE HEAT WAVES; THE LAWN MOWING
THE LARGE BUGS
HOWEVER THERE IS THE FUN OF SUMMER, AFTER A LOOOOOOONG WINTER IT'S CALLED THE B/Q! A CHANCE FOR THE WIFE NOT TO WORK.
WHEN THE HUSBAND DOES ALL THE COOKING!
LET'S LOOK IN ON ONE COUPLE AND SEE HOW IT IS GOING!

"THE B/Q OR THE NIGHT OFF FOR THE WIFE"

After four long months of cold and winter, we are finally coming up to summer and BBQ season. Therefore, it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this outdoor cooking ritual, as it's the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ, the following chain of events are put into motion:

1. The woman buys the food.

2. The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

3. The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces,
and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill
--- beer in hand.

4. THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

5. The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

6. The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning.
He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

7. THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

8. The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table.

9. After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

10. Everyone PRAISES THE MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

11. The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off" and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction,
concludes that there's just no pleasing some women!

"THE PROCRASTINATORS CREED.... The following will be
the rules for all "BACK ALLEY BOYS" "BACK ALLEY CATS" AND BACK ALLEY GANG MEMBERS" They will be followed by all members and new comers and wanttobes
By order of GARFIELD LEADER OF THE "GANG"

Procrastinators Creed...

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or to find excuses.

3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.

5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.

6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.

7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is never exactly zero.

8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.

9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.

11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.

12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.

13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
