Subject: FW: Twin TowersRemember this? Thought you might be interested in this forgotten bit of information.......... It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration. There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning! He was being drilled by a senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?" Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir." The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?" "No, sir," continued Ollie. "No? And why not?" the senator asked. "Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir." "Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned. "By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered. "Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?" "His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied. At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked. "Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered. "And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator. "Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth." The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip. By the way, that senator was Al Gore! Also: Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners." However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports. If you agree that the American public should be made aware of this fact, pass this on. Subject: 9/11 Do Not Break - it is 3 years strong This is why I always say I love YOU....This has not been broken since 9/11/01, please keep it going...This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11. In memory of all those who perished this morning; the passengers and the pilots on the United Air and AA flights, the workers in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and all the innocent bystanders. Our prayers go out to the friends and families of the deceased.Send this to at least 10 people to show your support.

TIPS FROM MOM

Tip #1-- Drinking 2 glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost immediately; without the unpleasant side effects of traditional pain relievers? I have not had a headache to give this a try. If anyone tries it let me know if it really works.

Sorority

2007-05-06T18:16:00.000-07:00

My sorority is a service organization. The world-wide group is Beta Sigma Phi. Our smaller group is Theta Omicron. We have fun and provide services to the community. We make most of the money we spend thru a large yard sale every January. We provide a Christmas gift to every person that receives meals-on-wheels, scholorships to female high school seniors, donate cash to Grad night(like in Oley), and collect items to give to Martha's House( a refuge for battered women). All of my dgts may want to look into finding a group in your area--provides friends and networking along with community service. I like it--in some ways it reminds me of girl scouts when I was younger.

Easter 4/2007

2007-04-07T14:53:00.000-07:00

Hey!! You can see I managed to get photos on the blog.
Alex visited for a few days before Easter while StaceyAna went to visit a friend in Reading, PA.

I took wed, thur, and fri off from work and with sat and sun I am getting a little time to rest my brain. Supervising sometimes really wears a person out. Although I am not one to be easily frazzled, it is still tiring.

Well that is it for today. I am so happy the pix got published.
I may try scanning some pix tomorrow--these are from my digital camera today. Even got the red eye from Alex!!

Thank you Robert(with sarcasm) The site wouldn't let me login and then it wouldn't let me thru to help. I think my desktop has some blocks on it I am unaware of. (incorrect grammar) I am now on my laptop.

Alexandria will be down here for about 3 days next week. I am hoping to make an Easter basket with her. I will load my digital camera program into the laptop and get some pictures on this blog. I'm taking those 3 days off from work so, I will have a little more time.
