08/10/09 - "Solution":
There is a solution here: Copy the entire newsletter page insert it into your announcement newsletter. Most e-mail programs will recognize HTML content. After I send this, I will send you an e-mail with a newsletter inserted. Let me know how it displays.
Well, of course,
David, you are a SUPER GENIUS!
I'd not even thought of that
before; I figured the letters would all be too long and too frequent and people
would complain about their jammed inboxes - which is how we happened to initiate
the published Newsletters in the first place.
For a moment I
considered a brief (hopefully) return to the Old Style Newsletters (no music, no
graphics, no images, just boring) of 2004 and before, but the timing is just so
wrong. I mean, I'm right in the middle of a silent, unannounced, all but
invisible contest here (to which I alluded
yesterday, and to
which we're STILL had no response or even queries of "What in the world are you
DOING, Crazy Woman?!?," and if I were forced to stop before it has successfully
concluded, well, it would just ruin everything! And you, of all people, David,
know what a Mega Brat I am!
Okay, I'll compromise. If someone responds to the Secret Contest, I'll try something else. Maybe. I dunno. It's still gonna ruin everything.
Thank you, Brown Eyes!
I'll think about it.....
From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 08/10/09 - "Bird Gets Down With Ray
Charles":
Guaranteed to make you smile. I did. This is the second bird I've seen "Get Down" to music. The other was a Cockatiel that used his feet more. What a dancer!

I left the string on this forward to let you see it has a Typhoon touch! In addition, just watch and see what you think!!
You just have to see this one. Talk about illusions ... this one will blow your mind ....

Okay, well, first, he said, "Lay down" when he should have said, "Lie down" - thrice!
Then, he said that second gal was too short. I myself am extremely vertically challenged, so I must take umbrage at that.
And next -
AAAIIIEEEEWWW!!! That is just so gross!!! How'd he DO that?!? No, wait, I don't wanna know. I think I'm gonna be sick now.
UM, thanks, Wayne Honey
- and Danny and Buster - I think!!!
P.S. In searching for this video on YouTube rather than as a .wav file (which I cannot use here), I found this possible explanation of the trick:

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes.com - 08/10/09:
A Lost Phone?
My girlfriend called me as she was driving to an
appointment. She arrived, and I could tell from her voice that she was getting
frustrated. Finally she said, "I know I had my cell phone with me. And now I
can't find it!"
I replied, "Aren't you talking on it!?"
There was a solid period of stunned silence as the reality of the situation sank
in - followed by, "You are NOT going to tell anybody about this!"
*************
The
Things That Drive A Sane Person Mad
You have to try on a pair of sunglasses with that stupid little plastic thing in
the middle of them.
The person behind you in the supermarket runs his cart into the back of your
ankle.
The elevator stops on every floor and nobody gets on.
There's always a car riding your tail when you're slowing down to find an
address.
You open a can of soup and the lid falls in.
There's a dog in the neighborhood that barks at EVERYTHING.
You can never put anything back in a box the way it came.
Your tire gauge lets out half the air while you're trying to get a reading.
A station comes in brilliantly when you're standing near the radio but buzzes,
drifts and spits every time you move away.
There are always one or two ice cubes that won't pop out of the tray.
You wash a garment with a tissue in the pocket and your entire laundry comes out
covered with lint.
The car behind you blasts its horn because you let a pedestrian finish crossing.
A piece of foil candy wrapper makes electrical contact with your filling (or
braces).
You set the alarm on your digital clock for 7pm instead of 7am.
The radio station doesn't tell you who sang that song.
You rub on hand cream and can't turn the bathroom doorknob to get out.
People behind you on a supermarket line dash ahead of you to a counter just
opening up.
Your glasses slide off your ears when you perspire.
You can't look up the correct spelling of a word in the dictionary because you
don't know how to spell it.
You have to inform five different sales people in the same store that you're
just browsing.
You had that pen in your hand only a second ago and now you can't find it.
You reach under the table to pick something off the floor and smash your head on
the way up.
*************
Barber and Kid
A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "This
is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then
calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?" The boy takes the
quarters and leaves.
"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the
ice cream store. "Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the
quarters instead of the dollar bill?"
The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the
game's over!"

Blueboy
John Fogerty, 1997
(b. 28 May 1945)
Way back in the hills
There's a place I know
People comes from miles around
Just to watch 'ol Dooley do the show
Ooh let the blueboy play
Ooh let the blueboy play
Gonna ride the mule
Gonna chase him too
Pullin' on-a pullin' on-a
Pullin' on-a pony
He goes...
Soon's the sun go down
That's when the fun begins
Hitch your wagon down the track
Up to the roadhouse
And come on in
Ooh let the blueboy play
Ooh let the blueboy play
Gonna ride the mule
Gonna chase him too
Pullin' on-a pullin' on-a
Pullin' on-a pony
He goes...
Instrumental
Sheriff says it late
Closin' time we got to go
But Dooley he don't want to quit
Ain't nobody feels like goin' home
Ooh let the blueboy play
Ooh let the blueboy play
Gonna ride the mule
Gonna chase him too
Pullin' on-a pullin' on-a
Pullin' on-a pony
He goes...
