 A Little Bit of Humor...
On the last day of kindergarten, all the children brought presents for
their teacher. The florist's son handed the teacher a gift. She shook it, held it up and said,
"I bet I know what it is - it's some flowers!"
"That's right!" shouted the little boy.
Then the candy store owner's daughter handed the teacher a gift. She held it up, shook
it and said. "I bet I know what it is - it's a box of candy!"
"That's right!" shouted the little girl.
The next gift was from the liquor store owner's son, Little Johnny. The teacher held it
up and saw that it was leaking. She touched a drop with her finger and tasted it. "Is it wine?"
she asked.
"No," Little Johnny answered.
The teacher touched another drop to her tongue. "Is it champagne?" she asked.
"No," he answered.
Finally, the teacher said, "I give up. What is it?"
Little Johnny replied, "A puppy!"

Words of Wisdom and Inspiration...
This was sent to me in an email by my best friend, Jeanne,
on November 10, 2010:
"READ IT!..... It will make you
think!
|
A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one grasshopper on
the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a billion of them would. With that thought
in mind, read the following - obviously written by a good American.
(I think this lady's on the right track. Let's all get
behind her!)
Check this out. I was in
Lowes the other day, and just for the heck of it I was looking at the hose attachments. They
were all made in China. The next day I was in Ace Hardware, and just for the heck of it I
checked the hose attachments there. They were made in USA. Got me thinking. Start
looking.
In our current
economic situation, every little thing we buy, or do, affects someone else - maybe even their
job. My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I just noticed that it is marked 'made in Mexico' now.
I choose not to buy it any more.
My favorite toothpaste, Colgate, is also 'made in
Mexico' now. I've switched to Crest. You have to read the labels on
everything.
This past weekend
I was at Kroger. (Can be true for any store.) I needed 60W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets.
I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy, was an off brand
labeled, "Everyday Value." I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were
the same, except for the price. The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand -
but the thing that surprised me the most, was the fact that GE was 'made in MEXICO' and the
Everyday Value brand was 'made in (you got it) the USA', in a company in Cleveland,
Ohio.
So throw out the myth
that you cannot find the products you use every day - made right
here!
On I went to another
aisle. Those Bounce Dryer Sheets I needed - yep, you guessed it! Bounce cost more money -
and - it's made in Canada. The Everyday Value brand was less money - and - 'MADE IN THE
USA'! Bye-bye Bounce! I did laundry yesterday, and the dryer sheets performed just like the
Bounce Free I've been using for years - and at almost half the
price!
My challenge to you
is this: start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things, and see what you can
find that is made in the USA. The job you save may be your own, or your
neighbors!
If you accept
the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book, so we can all start buying
American - one light bulb at a time!
Stop buying from overseas companies and other
countries!
We should have awakened a decade ago.
Longer than that, over 30 years ago it was already happening.
Let's get with the program and help our fellow
Americans keep their jobs, and create even more jobs, right here in the U. S. A.
