Bedtime Stories

It’s 10:30 PM on a Wednesday night. Do you know where your appetite is ? 

When we experience food, fun, and fellowship in my Life Group we don’t play around. We mean business. We had enough food for about 50 people tonight even though there were only about 15 of us. That means that each person had to eat for 3 people. Since some people only ate for 2 people that means that I had to pick up the slack. Oh yeah, and J.T. has enough lunch and dinner leftovers to last him through the upcoming weekend !

It’s going to be another heavy duty afternoon of more food, fun, and fellowship this upcoming Sunday at Homestead Bayfront Park. BRING IT ON !

TOMORROW here on the blog I’ve got your weekly ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’. I’ve got a well-circulated ’round the Internet photo to share with you that illustrates the effect of a major news story from the Summer Of 2003 that caused an estimated six-billion-dollars in financial losses here in North America. But is the picture for real, or is it a complete and utter hoax ?  We’ll find out tomorrow afternoon.

Thursday is also the day that many of my favourite bloggers post some of their best work of the week in a dire effort to get included on my coveted ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’. Get to work bloggers !

And so that’s what I’ve got for this Wednesday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’. Have a safe and restful night, sleep tight, don’t let them bed bugs bite, and remember this:

A large company – feeling it was time for a shakeup – hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.

On a tour of the facilities the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers, and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, ‘How much money do you make a week ?’

A little surprised the young man looked at him and replied, ‘I make about $400 a week. Why ?’

The CEO then handed the guy $1,600 in cash and screamed, ‘Here’s four weeks’ pay. Now GET OUT and don’t ever come back !’

Feeling pretty good about himself the CEO looked around the room and asked, ‘Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here ?’

From across the room came a voice: ‘Pizza delivery from Domino’s.’

Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends this is ‘Bedtime Stories’ on this Thursday night – brought to you by the new 1959 Chevrolet Station Wagon !

This is the 4TH and final blog entry for this day. 4 blog entries in a single day is my self-imposed maximum limit. I’ve done that on many days since this blog started, and I’ve never gone past that limit. I figure that if I’m posting 5 (or more) blog entries in a single day then I’m probably spending way too much time on my computer !  😉

It’s another hard day at work for me tomorrow, but the cool thing is that it’s Pay Day Friday, and the final day of the work week. I’ve got a busier than normal weekend planned. On Saturday night I’ll be dressed up in near-formal attire for the night. Maybe I’ll get myself into some pictures so that I can post some of them on here so that all of you can see what I look like when I try hard enough to look the very best.

Be sure to catch the blog in action tomorrow afternoon. I’ve got the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ in full effect featuring some of the best blog entries of this past week from some of my favourite bloggers that are near and dear to me and this blog. Please remember that there is to be no wagering as to which specific blog entries and bloggers will make the hot list.

Have a safe and peaceful Thursday night everyone, and until we hang out again on here remember this:

Yes, Fun To See !  Fun To Drive !  Fun To Buy !
The New Chevrolet !

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Jesse !

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

The following E-Mail was recently sent to me by a personal friend and a fan of this blog. It’s not necessarily an Internet Hoax that’s meant to intentionally deceive the general public at large, but it’s also not true. It’s an urban legend. Read on:

Subject:  Try This
 
I can’t wait to try this in the summer!

I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children’s swing area, and the standing water nearby. During the summer, I don’t leave home without it…..Pass it on.

I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works – in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn’t take much, and it is a big bottle too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of spray you buy that doesn’t last 30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don’t spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house.

Read more about it.

Mosquitoes adore water and blood. If you wish to remove mosquitoes from your general vicinity then remove the water and the blood. Standing water attracts the biting bugs. If you’ve got blood laying around all over your yard then perhaps mosquitoes may not be your biggest problem !  😉
