J. ARMSTRONG AL BURTON WILLIAM DOBSON ROBERT EDWARDS DONALD ENDER E. GOLLIHER ROBERT HANES DARYL JOHANNSEN ___________________________ NEWS YOU CAN USE Barbara Risk’s sister (Jan Peterson) informed us that, as of last December, Barbara has been living at the Barton House, an Alzheimers facility at 7007 E. Mountain View Rd., Paradise Valley, 480-607-2898. She writes that they realized Barbara’s short-term memory had changed over the last three years and doctors confirmed that she now has no short term memory. If she had full-time monitoring, she likely could still be living at home. At Barton house, they give her projects to keep her busy so she thinks she works there. We see here quite often and she is doing well and very high functioning. If anyone wants to stop by and see her, that would be wonderful. Just a clue . . it is difficult to carry on a normal conversation with her. When we go to see her, we always ask how she likes her work there. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Diane Bennett included four possible vacation destinations with the mailing of the November issue of the News-letter.

The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the stroke symptoms. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: 1. Ask the person to SMILE. 2. Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. 3. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Co- herently, i.e.: It is sunny out today). If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. After discovering that non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urg-ed the general public to learn the three questions. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of a stroke and prevent brain damage. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dave Pearson has a flyer for this year’s annual fishing trip on our website.

Other Stuff
Mike was going to be married to Karen, so his father sat him down for a little chat. He said, "Mike, let me tell you something. On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants, handed them to your mother, and said, 'Here - try these on.' She did and said, 'These are too big I can't wear them.' I replied, 'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will.' Ever since that night we have never had any problems." "Hmmm," said Mike. He thought that might be a good thing to try. On his honey-moon, Mike took off his pants and said to Karen, "Here - try these on." She tried them on and said, "These are too large. They don't fit me." Mike said, "Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. I don't want you to ever forget that." Then Karen took off her pants and handed them to Mike. She said, "Here - you try on mine." He did and said, "I can't get into your pants." Karen said, "Exactly. And if you don't change your smart ass attitude, you never will. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where some-one wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If: Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K And
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T AND, look how far ass kissing will take you!
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While …Hard Work and …Knowledge will get you close, and …Attitude will get you there, … it's the BullShit and …Ass Kissing that will put you over the top!!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote: "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door. When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned, but added to it was this cryptic message: "Genesis 3:10." Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins "Be-hold, I stand at the door and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Remember, once you get over the hill, you'll begin to pick up speed. I love cooking with wine. Some-times I even put it in the food. If it weren't for STRESS I'd have no energy at all. Whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. Dogs have owners. Cats have staff. If the shoe fits .... buy a pair in every color. Never be too open minded, your brains could fall out. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks. Some days are a total waste of makeup. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
