Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I couldn't seem to learn very much about this song except that it sounds very happy, and hey - the pictures are from the annual Virginia Tech International Street Fair!

Had I realized the sad news which was to follow, I probably would not have deliberately selected such a chirpy little tune.....

From My Husband, Paul's
(Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of
NC) Distant Cousin, Elaine of MO - 02/07/12 - "PRAYER REQUEST":
THIS IS MY DEAR
FRIEND. """BRENDA TAYLOR""""FROM HERE IN BENTON, PLEASE PRAY FOR
HER ,,, ONE SPECIAL LADY THIS IS FROM HER DAUGHTER, DEBBIE I am calling all my faithful prayer partners. I need prayer for my Momma. She left for AZ about three weeks ago, once she got there she was in horrible pain and started running a fever. My Aunt Pat took her to ER and she stayed in the hospital for a week, the diagnosis was SHINGLES! ......They have moved her to an assisted living nursing home and have her in isolation! First, she is in severe pain, and has a rash/blisters on her foot, leg, and side. She can not walk ( the rash, blisters are on her foot) and is having a pretty hard time with it all, to say the least. The doctor told her the pain could last 6-9 months! She has asked me twice to request prayer for her. WE SERVE an AMAZING GOD and trust him for healing! HE IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN......By his stripes she is healed!! Please pray scripture and I know that God's word does not return to him void and will do what it says it will do...... Thank you in advance for your support and prayers....I will keep you posted as I know more! OH! by the way.....I hate Satan!!
YOWZERONI!
Thanks, Dools!

PLEASE READ!
INVOLVES THE SHAMPOO WHEN IT RUNS DOWN YOUR BODY WHILE YOU ARE SHOWERING!!!!
WARNING TO US ALL!!! YOU NEED TO READ THIS. DON'T DELETE IT BEFORE READING!
SHAMPOO WARNING!
I just discovered this important
info below.
Please share with all your friends.
From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of
NC - 02/07/12 - "A prayer was answered":
This is a story written by
a doctor who worked in Africa:
One night I had
worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all
we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a
crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the
baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an
incubator).
WOWZERONI!
Thanks, Dools!

From My #2 Son,
Brent Harty
(Hillsboro HS,
IL - '90) of TX
(newly returned
home from a year's
deployment to "the lands dark and dusty")
- 02/07/12 - "RE: A prayer was answered":
Dad,
I hope this is a real
story. That would be cool. But regardless, the principle is
correct. Our Father does answer our prayers, truly all of them,
in so many diverse ways. It is hard to truly describe the power
and impact of prayer. Regardless-its importance is clear...the
Savior himself set the model in this for us. Thanks for the
email on the power of prayer...
With love
Thank
you, Brent!

From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 02/03/12 - "Friday":
Fruit What's this daily charge for "Fruit?" the hotel guess asked the manager. "We didn't eat any." "But the fruit was place in your room every day. It isn't our fault you didn't take advantage of it." "I see," said the man as he subtracted $150.00 from the bill. "What are you doing?" sputtered the manager. "I'm subtracting $50 dollars a day for your kissing my wife." "What? I didn't kiss your wife." "Ah," replied the man, "but she was there." ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc We all fail sometimes. But there's something about failing with style. Here are some of the best test paper blunders from the most clueless - and inventive - of students. * Classical Studies * Question: Name one of the early Romans' greatest achievements. Answer: Learning to speak Latin * Biology * Question: What is a fibula? Answer: A little lie * Classical Studies * Question: What were the circumstances of Julius Caesar's death? Answer: Suspicious ones * Biology * Question: What is a plasmid? Answer: A high definition television * Religious Studies * Question: Christians only have one spouse, what is this called? Answer: Monotony * Physics * Question: Name an environmental side effect of burning fossil fuels. Answer: Fire * Geography * Question: What does the term "lava" mean? Answer: A pre-pubescent caterpillar * Geography * Question: The race of people known as Malays come from which country? Answer: Malaria * Geography * Question: Name one famous Greek landmark. Answer: The most famous Greek landmark is the Apocalypse * History * Question: Where was the American Declaration of Independence signed? Answer: At the bottom. ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc Wisdom Tip The day a person becomes a cynic is the day he loses his youth. ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc TODAY'S THRIFTY TIP: * To raise revenue, many U.S. libraries and municipalities are turning unpaid debts over to collection agencies. Once an agency takes over your debt, even if it is only $20, you can count on a big dent in your credit score--100 points or more. * Making insignificant claims on your home owner's insurance can increase your monthly premiums, and you could even be dropped as a customer. You should pay small repairs (those less than $1,000 or less than your deductible) out of pocket. * If at all possible, do not cash out your 401(k) when you leave your job. Roll over funds into a personal IRA so your money continues to grow, tax-deferred. In 20 years, $2,500, the average 401(k) cash-out, can grow to $11,652. * If you find yourself out of work don't just stop paying on your student loan. If you stop paying a $20,000 loan with a 6.8 percent interest rate for 12 months, you'll pay an extra $1,360 in interest and fees. Let your loan provider know that you're out of work. By law, every lender must offer programs for customers experiencing economic hardship. ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
