Yes folks, Youcan still buy GREAT COUNTRY MUSIC at

Thought For Today:Do you want some help using the Internet, son?
No thanks, Dad, I can screw it up all by myself.
As the only vegetarian in my family, I often get tired of defending my food choices to other family members, especially at the large dinner gatherings we have on special occasions. I didn't realize how often the subject is actually discussed until one day around Thanksgiving, when I picked up my six-year-old, Jordan, from school. His class had made Thanksgiving turkey crafts using potatoes and paper feathers.
Jordan proudly presented his to me, announcing excitedly,"Mom, this year we'll finally have the kind of turkey even you can eat!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the beginning of the school year, I asked my Grade 2 students to write about something exciting they did that summer, then to draw a picture to illustrate it. One student proudly presented his account of a ride on a roller coaster, but he had not drawn a picture. When I asked why he hadn't done this, he declared, "I couldn't: I didn't see anything because my eyes were closed."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At a family gathering, a husband began teasing his wife about how she always get her way. "Honey," she said to her husband, "when I get my way, that's a compromise."
"What is it when I get my way?" he was quick to ask. She replied, "That's a miracle."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Old-fashioned Zachary approached Laura's father, intent upon asking him for her hand in marriage. "Sir," he blurted out, "I have an attachment for your daughter, and..." "See here, young man," interrupted Laura's dad, "when my daughter needs accessories, I'll buy them myself."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JUDGE: You claim you robbed the grocery store because you were starving. So why didn't you take the food instead of the cash out of the till?
BURGLAR: Your Honor! I'm a proud man, sir, and I make it a rule to pay for everything I eat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
QUESTION: Why does beer go through your system so fast?
ANSWER: Because it doesn't have to stop and change color.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Despite his low opinion of lieutenants, the sergeant kept a respectful tone as he taught us how to bail out of a plane in an emergency.
"Sirs, to open the hatch," he began, "turn this lever to the right, then pull that handle."
"What if we don’t follow that sequence?" a second lieutenant asked.
"Then, sir," said the sergeant patiently, "you hit the hatch handle with a crash axe."
"That’ll open the hatch?"
"No, sir. But it will keep your mind occupied until you crash."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While editing announcements for a newspaper, I came across an item promoting a camp for children with asthma. Aside from all the wonderful activities the kids could enjoy, such as canoeing, swimming, crafts and more, it promised that its lakefront property offered something the kids probably did not expect: "breathtaking views."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have a friend who saw her dream of proclaiming her love for tofu, mercilessly crushed by the California Division of Motor Vehicles.
They absolutely prohibited her from purchasing and displaying a vanity plate, designed to demonstrate her affection for that bean-curd stuff.
The DMV claimed that the plate would have been obscene. Kelley's plate was to have read: ILVTOFU. Now who could mistake this wholesome sentiment for something else?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: What is the hardest part of skydiving?
A: The ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last June, my friend told me about her plans for our upcoming prom. "I'm renting a stretch limo and spending $1,000 on a new dress, and I've reserved a table at the most expensive restaurant in town," she said.
Our teacher overheard her and shook her head. "I didn't spend that much on my wedding."
My friend answered, "I can have three or four weddings. But a prom you do only once.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A mystery writer giving a speech told her audience that her career path was laid out early in her life. She explained that her parents guessed what she might become when she was five years old. They read. "Humpty-Dumpty" to her and she wondered if he was pushed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
QUESTION: What letter should women avoid?
ANSWER: The letter "A" because it makes men mean
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had our ten-year-old daughter late in life, long after our two boys
were born. She is the joy of my husband's life, but he is self-conscious
about being an older father. He likes to jokingly tell people that by the
time she graduates from high school, he'll be in a nursing home. One
day she asked. "Mom, you know how Dad always says he'll be in a
home when I graduate?" I nodded, expecting some sad question
about mortality. "Can I have the car then?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pregnant with our second child, I was determined to ride my exercise
bike at least two miles a day. Late one night, having put it off all day,
I climbed aboard the noisy contraption in our bedroom, where my
husband was reading a book. After about 20 minutes of listening
to the squeaky machine, he glanced up, somewhat annoyed,
"Don't you think it's time you turned around and headed for
home?" he asked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I stopped at a local convenience store the other day to fill up my
gas tank before heading back home. After pumping the gas I
headed in, grabbed a pack of gum, and got in line to pay. In the
front of the line was a tired looking woman, holding a toddler in
her arms. Behind her and just in front of me was an older man
with white hair and a white shirt.
He smiled kindly at me and patiently waited while the woman struggled
to hold her child while she counted out change with her free hand. She
searched twice in her pocket book but still didn't have enough money
to pay for the two gallons of milk she had brought to the counter. I
could see her lips tremble and her eyes moisten as she apologized and
picked up one of the gallons to take back.
It was then that the older man stopped her. With a gentle smile he told
the cashier that he would pay for the milk. The look of relief on the poor
woman’s face touched my heart. She thanked the older man while he
smiled again and said not to worry about it. As she exited the store I
could see that her eyes were still moist, but this time the tears were for
a different reason. As he paid for her milk and his own items the white
haired angel in disguise smiled at me one last time. Then as he was
walking out of the store he gave me a wink and said, "You can't take
it with you, you know."

Country Hall of Fame looks to expand
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 – The Country Music Hall of Fame is looking to double in size, according to a report in The Tennessean.
Nashville Mayor Karl Dean announced the news during a speech on Monday.
Hall of Fame Director Kyle Young told the newspaper, "We really need to expand. We know what happens when you don't do that...It's good business to want to build on success."
The hall moved downtown from Music Row in 2001, The nearly140,000-square-foot building cost about $37 million. About 500,000 people visit annually.
Young and Dean met to talk about the expansion.
Dean indicated an expanded hall could be linked to a proposed downtown convention center and a 1,000-room convention center hotel. The hotel would be constructed just south of the hall.
"An expanded Country Music Hall of Fame has the potential to make Fifth Avenue an extension of what's already happening on Second Avenue and Broadway," Dean said.

I don't suffer from stress. I'm a carrier.
Last Call Y'ALL
The fist knocking on the door belonged to a cop. Bracing for
the worst, the yard foreman opened the door. "Is that yours?"
asked the officer, pointing to a company van that was jutting
out into the narrow street.
"Uhh, yes it is," said the foreman. "That is, it's our company's."
"Would you mind moving it?" asked the officer. "We've set up
a speed trap, and the van's causing everyone to slow down."

<P align=center><STRONG><EM>Thought For Today:</EM></STRONG>Do you want
some help using the Internet, son?<BR><BR>No thanks, Dad, I can screw it up all
by myself. </FONT><STRONG> <BR><BR><BR></STRONG><FONT color=#000000>As
the only vegetarian in my family, I often get tired of defending my food choices
to other family members, especially at the large dinner gatherings we have on
special occasions. I didn't realize how often the subject is actually discussed
until one day around Thanksgiving, when I picked up my six-year-old, Jordan,
from school. His class had made Thanksgiving turkey crafts using potatoes and
paper feathers.<BR><BR>Jordan proudly presented his to me, announcing
excitedly,"Mom, this year we'll finally have the kind of turkey even you can
eat!"<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>At the beginning of the school year, I asked my
Grade 2 students to write about something exciting they did that summer, then to
draw a picture to illustrate it. One student proudly presented his account of a
ride on a roller coaster, but he had not drawn a picture. When I asked why he
hadn't done this, he declared, "I couldn't: I didn't see anything because my
eyes were closed." <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>At a family gathering, a husband
began teasing his wife about how she always get her way. "Honey," she said to
her husband, "when I get my way, that's a compromise."<BR><BR>"What is it when I
get my way?" he was quick to ask. She replied, "That's a miracle."
<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>Old-fashioned Zachary approached Laura's father, intent
upon asking him for her hand in marriage. "Sir," he blurted out, "I have an
attachment for your daughter, and..." "See here, young man," interrupted Laura's
dad, "when my daughter needs accessories, I'll buy them myself."
<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>JUDGE: You claim you robbed the grocery store because
you were starving. So why didn't you take the food instead of the cash out of
the till?<BR><BR>BURGLAR: Your Honor! I'm a proud man, sir, and I make it a rule
to pay for everything I eat<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>QUESTION: Why does beer go
through your system so fast?<BR><BR>ANSWER: Because it doesn't have to stop and
change color. <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>Despite his low opinion of lieutenants,
the sergeant kept a respectful tone as he taught us how to bail out of a plane
in an emergency.<BR><BR>"Sirs, to open the hatch," he began, "turn this lever to
the right, then pull that handle."<BR><BR>"What if we don’t follow that
sequence?" a second lieutenant asked.<BR><BR>"Then, sir," said the sergeant
patiently, "you hit the hatch handle with a crash axe."<BR><BR>"That’ll open the
hatch?"<BR><BR>"No, sir. But it will keep your mind occupied until you crash."
<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>While editing announcements for a newspaper, I came
across an item promoting a camp for children with asthma. Aside from all the
wonderful activities the kids could enjoy, such as canoeing, swimming, crafts
and more, it promised that its lakefront property offered something the kids
probably did not expect: "breathtaking views." <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>I have a
friend who saw her dream of proclaiming her love for tofu, mercilessly crushed
by the California Division of Motor Vehicles.<BR><BR>They absolutely prohibited
her from purchasing and displaying a vanity plate, designed to demonstrate her
affection for that bean-curd stuff. <BR><BR>The DMV claimed that the plate
would have been obscene. Kelley's plate was to have read: ILVTOFU. Now who
could mistake this wholesome sentiment for something else?
<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>Q: What is the hardest part of skydiving?<BR><BR>A: The
ground.<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>Last June, my friend told me about her plans for
our upcoming prom. "I'm renting a stretch limo and spending $1,000 on a new
dress, and I've reserved a table at the most expensive restaurant in town," she
said.<BR><BR>Our teacher overheard her and shook her head. "I didn't spend that
much on my wedding."<BR><BR>My friend answered, "I can have three or four
weddings. But a prom you do only once. <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>A mystery
writer giving a speech told her audience that her career path was laid out early
in her life. She explained that her parents guessed what she might become when
she was five years old. They read. "Humpty-Dumpty" to her and she wondered if he
was pushed. <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>QUESTION: What letter should women
avoid?<BR><BR>ANSWER: The letter "A" because it makes men
mean<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>We had our ten-year-old daughter late in life,
long after our two boys <BR>were born. She is the joy of my husband's life, but
he is self-conscious <BR>about being an older father. He likes to jokingly tell
people that by the <BR>time she graduates from high school, he'll be in a
nursing home. One <BR>day she asked. "Mom, you know how Dad always says he'll be
in a <BR>home when I graduate?" I nodded, expecting some sad question <BR>about
mortality. "Can I have the car then?" <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>Pregnant with our
second child, I was determined to ride my exercise <BR>bike at least two miles a
day. Late one night, having put it off all day,<BR>I climbed aboard the noisy
contraption in our bedroom, where my <BR>husband was reading a book. After about
20 minutes of listening <BR>to the squeaky machine, he glanced up, somewhat
annoyed, <BR>"Don't you think it's time you turned around and headed
for<BR>home?" he asked. <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR> I stopped at a local
convenience store the other day to fill up my <BR>gas tank before heading back
home. After pumping the gas I<BR>headed in, grabbed a pack of gum, and got in
line to pay. In the <BR>front of the line was a tired looking woman, holding a
toddler in <BR>her arms. Behind her and just in front of me was an older man
<BR>with white hair and a white shirt.<BR>He smiled kindly at me and patiently
waited while the woman struggled <BR>to hold her child while she counted out
change with her free hand. She <BR>searched twice in her pocket book but still
didn't have enough money<BR>to pay for the two gallons of milk she had brought
to the counter. I <BR>could see her lips tremble and her eyes moisten as she
apologized and<BR>picked up one of the gallons to take back.<BR>It was then that
the older man stopped her. With a gentle smile he told<BR>the cashier that he
would pay for the milk. The look of relief on the poor <BR>woman’s face touched
my heart. She thanked the older man while he <BR>smiled again and said not to
worry about it. As she exited the store I <BR>could see that her eyes were still
moist, but this time the tears were for<BR>a different reason. As he paid for
her milk and his own items the white<BR>haired angel in disguise smiled at me
one last time. Then as he was <BR>walking out of the store he gave me a wink and
said, "You can't take<BR>it with you, you
know."</FONT></P></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT

Hall of Fame looks to expand<BR>Wednesday, September 23, 2009 – The Country
Music Hall of Fame is looking to double in size, according to a report in The
Tennessean. <BR>Nashville Mayor Karl Dean announced the news during a speech on
Monday. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Hall of Fame Director Kyle Young told the newspaper, "We
really need to expand. We know what happens when you don't do that...It's good
business to want to build on success." </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>The hall moved downtown from Music Row in 2001, The
nearly140,000-square-foot building cost about $37 million. About 500,000 people
visit annually. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Young and Dean met to talk about the expansion. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Dean indicated an expanded hall could be linked to a proposed
downtown convention center and a 1,000-room convention center hotel. The hotel
would be constructed just south of the hall. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>"An expanded Country Music Hall of Fame has the potential to
make Fifth Avenue an extension of what's already happening on Second Avenue and
Broadway," Dean said. <BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<BR>Gill, Harris play Leno
Wednesday<BR>Sunday, September 27, 2009 – The upcoming Country Music Hall of
Fame and Museum's All for the Hall Los Angeles fundraiser on Oct. 1 with Vince
Gill, Emmylou Harris, Dwight Yoakam, Melissa Etheridge and friends performing
together will be preceded the night before by a special duet from Harris and
Gill on NBC's new primetime Jay Leno Show. <BR>All for the Hall Los Angeles will
offer an opportunity to see these singer-songwriters interact in a "guitar
pull," where they will accompany one another as they take turns swapping songs,
stories and personal recollections</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>The Museum launched All for the Hall, its' first-ever
non-bricks-and-mortar fundraising campaign, in 2005. The campaign addresses the
museum's need for long-term financial security and will provide a safety net for
the institution and its work. This is the third year the event on the road,
hosting previous All for the Hall events in New York in 2007 and
2008.</FONT></DIV></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT>
