Happy 4th Of July
Enjoy your 4th with family and friends. 
Charm School
Two nicely dressed ladies happen to start up a conversation during an endless wait in the LAX airport. The first lady was an arrogant California woman married to a wealthy man. The second was a well mannered elderly woman from the South.
When the conversation centered on whether they had any children, the California woman started by saying, "When my first child was born, my husband built a beautiful mansion for me."
The lady from the South commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued, "When my second child was born, my husband bought me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz."
Again, the lady from the South commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued boasting, "Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet."
And a gain, the Southern lady commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman then asked the Southern lady, "What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child?"
"My husband sent me to charm school," declared the Southern lady.
"Charm school?" the first woman cried, "Oh my God! What on earth for?", asked the first woman.
The Southern lady responded, "Well for example, instead of saying "Who gives a shit?" I learned to say, "Well, isn't that precious?"
710
A few days ago I was having some work done at the local Ford Dealership.
A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. We all looked at each other and another customer asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?" She replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one." She said that she did not know what it was but this piece had always been there.
He gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car, which had its hood up and asked, "Is there a 710 on this car?
" She pointed and said, "Of course, it's right "there"
Music Can Make You Gay
Do you really think that what your kids listen to can cause them to be Gay? If you listen to Donnie Davies this is the case. He has compiled a list of bad and good musicians to listen to.
The supposed to be bad list is compiled of musicians that have a Gay message in their music. Apparently he thinks that listening to their music will cause them to be Gay, which I think is crazy. The list consist of some well known singers that I am familiar with and some I have never heard of.
Nirvana
* Boy George*
* The Killers
* Lou Reed
* Lil' Wayne
* Motorhead
* Jill Sobule
* Wilson Phillips
* DMX
* Lisa Loeb
* Ted Nugent (loincloth)
* Dogstar
* Thirty Seconds to Mars
* Lil' Kim
* kd lang
* Frank Sinatra
* Hinder
* Nickleback
* Justus Kohncke
* Bob Mould
* Clay Aiken
* John Mayer
* Angel Eyes
* The Indigo Girls
* Velvet Underground
* Madonna
* Elton John
* Barry Manilow
Davies says the most dangerous ways homosexuality invades family life is through popular music.
Parents should keep careful watch over their children's listening habits, especially in this Internet Age of MP3 piracy.
I Wish You Enough
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
A True Miracle
The recent plane crash of the Yemenia jet with 153 on board was very sad, but out of this terrible crash with all of those lives lost was a true miracle.
How else do you describe the rescue of one 14 year old girl that managed to cling to the wreakage for hours until found.
The only survivor and the only injury, a fractured collarbone. The sad part is that she still has to be told that her mother who she was traveling with did not survive and when she ask for her mother they tell her that she is in the room next door as she is still traumatized.
Let's keep her in prayer or think good thoughts for her.

B.O.A. Sucks
He recently decided to sign up for online banking to pay his bill. While checking his account online he noticed that the checking and savings was fine and all accounts was showing up except one grandchild savings. I told him that he should call the bank and inquire about it.
When he called the bank they told him that he was not the authorized owner of that account so they could give him no info on it. My husband was the one that opened the account for her and put money in this account for her every month so that was a shock.
He goes to the bank and he soon came back and said that he needed to take her to the bank with some identification. By this time I was really upset.
When he came back I found out that they had put her account under someone name Stella Shepherd, we don't know anyone by that name plus the fact that my husband was the one that opened the account. They finally straightened the mess out but how do a bank make a serious mistake like that?
I should not be surprised because this is the same bank that lost $21,000 of ours some years ago, he deposited a check for 22,000, a week later he found out that they had put it down as 2,200 but luckily I still had the deposit slip, you can't imagine the mess that was to get straight. I tried to get him to change banks then and he wouldn't do it so I didn't waste my breath arguing with him this time
Well I feel better just venting about them here.I recomend that you be sure to check your deposit slips and all transactions when dealing with the bank.

"Swoop & Squat"
Consider this scenario: You’re stuck in heavy traffic on a busy highway. Another car cuts off the driver in front of you, forcing him to slam on the brakes. You try to stop, but there’s no time … and you rear-end the guy in front of you.
An everyday accident? Not this time. Turns out you’ve been had by a well-organized criminal ring that staged the entire thing.
This particular scam is called the “swoop and squat.” (The first car “swoops” in while the second car “squats” in front of you.) After the “accident,” everyone in the car you rear-ended—usually crammed full of passengers—will file bogus injury claims with your insurance company. Each will complain of whiplash or other soft-tissue injuries—things difficult for doctors to confirm. They may even go to crooked physical therapists, chiropractors, lawyers, or auto repair technicians to further exaggerate their claims.
We’re talking big money here. Staged accidents cost the insurance industry about $20 billion a year. Those losses get passed on to all of us in the form of higher insurance rates—an average of $100-$300 extra per car per year.
Here are some similar scams to look out for:
The drive down. You’re attempting to merge when another driver waves you forward. Instead of letting you in, he slams into your car. When the police arrive, he denies ever motioning to you.
The sideswipe. As you round a corner at a busy intersection with multiple turn lanes, you drift slightly into the lane next to you. The car in that lane steps on the gas and sideswipes you.
The t-bone. You’re crossing an intersection when a car coming from a side street accelerates and hits your car. When the police arrive, the driver and several planted “witnesses” claim that you ran a red light or stop sign.
How can you protect yourself?
If you’re in an accident, call the police immediately.
Report accident claims to your insurance company. Don’t settle on site with cash.
Be careful with your personal information, mindful of identity theft.
If you can, photograph the car and passengers and write down names, addresses, and phone numbers.
Use medical, car repair, and legal professionals you know and trust.
Don’t tail gate … drive safely.
What are we doing to protect you from these schemes? Plenty. Like Operation Soft Tissue, where a Chicago agent posed as a corrupt lawyer and caught hundreds of these con artists and crooks red-handed. We’ve investigated more than 90 staged accident fraud cases over the past decade. With more to come
