WeeWeeChu from Southeast New Mexico

Merry Christmas To You!! 
 
It's a romantic full moon, when Pedro said, "Hey, mamacita, let's
do Weeweechu."
 
Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Rosita.
 
Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's
the perfect time," Pedro begged.
 
"But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon." replied
Rosita.
 
Please, corazoncito, just once, do Weeweechu with me."
 
Rosita looked at Pedro and said, "OK, one time, we'll do
Weeweechu."
 
Pedro grabbed his guitar and they both sang.....
 
"Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas,
Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

MY POOR COWBOYS----NO HOPE FOR THEM THIS YEAR

DALLAS COWBOYS ANTHRAX SCARE

 

Dallas Cowboys football practice was delayed nearly two hours yesterday after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field.  Head coach, Wade Phillips, immediately suspended practice while police and federal agents were called to investigate.

 

After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance, unknown to the players, was the goal line.

 

Practice was resumed today after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again.

GOD'S WINGS

God's Wings -

A little something to put things in perspective...

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest rangers
began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage.

One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched
statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat
sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.
When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under
their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of
impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the
tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing
that the toxic smoke would rise.

She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her
babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her
small bo dy, the mother had remained steadfast ...because she had
been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.

'He will cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you will find refuge.'
(Psalm 91:4)

Being loved this much should make a difference in your life.
Remember the One who loves you, and then be different because of it.

My instructions were to send this to people that I wanted God to
bless and I picked you. Please pass this on to people you want to
be blessed.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will
treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.
To realize the value of a friend...lose one.

CHRISTMAS DINNER

This is an article submitted to a 1999 Louisville Sentinel contest to find out who had the wildest Christmas dinner. It won first prize.


As a joke, my brother Jay used to hang a pair of pantyhose over his fireplace before Christmas. He said all he wanted was for Santa to fill them.

What they say about Santa checking the list twice must be true because every Christmas morning, although Jay's kids' stockings overflowed, his poor pantyhose hung sadly empty.

One year I decided to make his dream come true. I put on sunglasses and went in search of an inflatable love doll. They don't sell those things at Wal-Mart. I had to go to an adult bookstore downtown.

If you've never been in an X-rated store, don't go. You'll only confuse yourself. I was there an hour saying things like, 'What does this do?' 'You're kidding me!' 'Who would buy that?' Finally, I made it to the inflatable doll section. I wanted to buy a standard, uncomplicated doll that could also substitute as a passenger in my truck so I could use the car pool lane during rush hour.

Finding what I wanted was difficult. 'Love Dolls' come in many different models. The top of the line, according to the side of the box, could do things I'd only seen in a book on animal husbandry. I settled for 'Lovable Louise.' She was at the bottom of the price scale.

To call Louise a 'doll' took a huge leap of imagination.

On Christmas Eve and with the help of an old bicycle pump, Louise came to life.

My sister-in-law was in on the plan and let me in during the wee morning hours. Long after Santa had come and gone, I filled the dangling pantyhose with Louise's pliant legs and bottom. I also ate some cookies and drank what remained of a glass of milk on a nearby tray. I went home, and giggled for a couple of hours .

The next morning my brother called to say that Santa had been to his house and left a present that had made him VERY happy, but had left the dog confused. She would bark, start to walk away, then come back and bark some more.

We all agreed that Louise should remain in her pantyhose so the rest of the family could admire her when they came over for the traditional Christmas dinner.

My grandmother noticed Louise the moment she walked in the door.
'What the hell is that?' she asked.

My brother quickly explained, 'It's=2 0a doll.'

'Who would play with something like that?' Granny snapped.

I kept my mouth shut.

'Where are her clothes?' Granny continued.

'Boy, that turkey sure smells nice, Gran,' Jay said, to steer her into the dining room.

But Granny was relentless. 'Why doesn't she have any teeth?'

Again, I could have answered, but why would I? It was Christmas and no one wanted to ride in the back of the ambulance saying, 'Hang on Granny, hang on!'

My grandfather, a delightful old man with poor eyesight, sidled up to me and said, 'Hey, who's the naked gal by the fireplace?' I told him she was Jay's friend.

A few minutes later I noticed Grandpa by the mantel, talking to Louise. Not just talking, but actually flirting. It was then that we realized this might be Grandpa's last Christmas at home.

The dinner went well. We made the usual small talk about who had died, who was dying, and who should be killed, when suddenly Louise made a noise like my father in the bathroom in the morning. Then she lurched from the mantel, flew around the room twice, and fell in a heap in front of the sofa. The cat screamed. I passed cranberry sauce through my nose, and Grandpa ran across the room, fell to his knees, and began administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

My brother fell back over his chair and wet his pants.

Granny threw down her napkin, stomped.  out of the room, and sat in the car.
It was indeed a Christmas to treasure and remember.

Later in my brother's garage, we conducted a thorough examination to decide the cause of Louise's collapse. We discovered that Louise had suffered from a hot ember to the back of her right thigh.

Fortunately, thanks to a wonder drug called duct tape, we restored her to perfect health.

I can't wait until next Christmas.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 

 Absolutely The Funniest Joke Ever ! ..... ON US !

  

Does anybody out there have any memory of the reason given  for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY during  the Carter Administration? Anybody? Anything? No?  Didn't think so.   Bottom line . . we've spent several hundred billion  dollars in support of an agency the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember.
 
Ready? It was very simple, 
and at the time everybody  thought it very appropriate. 

The Department of Energy was instituted 8-04-1977 TO "LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL". 
HEY, PRETTY EFFICIENT,.......HUH?  
AND NOW IT'S 2008, 31 YEARS LATER, AND THE BUDGET FOR 

 THIS NECESSARY DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR, THEY  HAVE 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES, AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000  CONTRACT EMPLOYEES AND LOOK AT THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE! 
 
THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR 
FOREHEAD AND SAY:  'WHAT WAS I THINKING?' 

Ah yes, good 
ole beauocracy. And now we are going to turn  the Banking system over to them?..............

 "God  Help us".

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND EVERYONE ELSE

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 

*Twas the month before Christmas*
    *When all through our land,*
    *Not a Christian was praying*
    *Nor taking a stand.*
    *See the PC Police had taken away,*
    *The reason for 
Christmas - no one could say.*
    *The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
    *About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
    *It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*
    * December 25th is just a " Holiday ".*    

    *Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*
    *Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
    *CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*
     *Something was changing, something quite odd! *
    *Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
    *In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*
    *As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*
    * At Lowe's the word 
Christmas - was no where to be found.*
    *At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*
    *You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*    

    *Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-is-ty*
    *Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
    *Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*
    *On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on  Clinton !*
    *At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*
    *To eliminate 
Jesus, in all public matter.*
    *And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
;   * Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*


    *The true Gift of 
Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
    *The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*
    *So as you celebrate "Winter Break" under your "Dream Tree"*
    *Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*
    *Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*


    
*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS

     Not   Happy  Holiday !

TICKLE ME ELMO! JUST LAUGH AND ENJOY.....

 Tickle Me Elmo:

There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.

Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 am.


The next day at 8:45 am there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee.


He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule.




The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up.
[]
At the end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's She has a roll of plush Red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.

The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs.


The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Lena .


'I'm sorry,' he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, 'but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday...'


'Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles.

If you don't send this to five friends right away,
There will be five fewer people laughing in the world!

MONOPOLY --- WORLD WAR II STYLE

This is really a neat story and I had never heard it before'

 

 


 

INTERESTING STORY ABOUT WW II.

Starting in 1941, an increasing number of British airmen found
themselves as the involuntary guests of the Third Reich, and
the crown was casting about for ways and means to facilitate
their escape. Now obviously, one of the most helpful aids to
that end is a useful and accurate map, one showing not only
where stuff was, but also showing the locations of 'safe
houses' where a POW on- the-lam could go for food and shelter.

Paper maps had some real drawbacks -- they make a lot of noise
when you open and fold them, they wear out rapidly, and if they
get wet, they turn into mush.

Someone in MI-5 (similar to America 's OSS ) got the idea of
printing escape maps on silk. It 's durable, can be scrunched-up
into tiny wads, and unfolded as many times as needed, and makes
no noise whatsoever. At that time, there was only one
manufacturer in Great Britain that had perfected the technology
of printing on silk, and that was John Waddington, Ltd.

When approached by the government, the firm was only too happy
to do its bit for the war effort. By pure
coincidence, Waddington was also the U.K. Licensee for the
popular American board game, Monopoly. As it happened, 'games
and pastimes' was a category of item qualified for insertion
into 'CARE packages', dispatched by the International Red
Cross, to prisoners of war. Under the strictest of secrecy, in
a securely guarded and inaccessible old workshop on the grounds
of Waddington's, a group of sworn-to-secrecy employees began
mass-producing escape maps, keyed to each region of Germany or
Italy where Allied POW camps were located (Red Cross packages
were delivered to prisoners in accordance with that same
regional system). When processed, these maps could be folded
into such tiny dots that they would actually fit inside a
Monopoly playing piece. As long as they were at it, the clever
workmen at Waddington's also managed to add:

1. A playing token, containing a small magnetic compass
2. A two-part metal file that could easily be screwed together
3. Useful amounts of genuine high-denomination German,
Italian, and French currency, hidden within the piles of
Monopoly money!

British and American air crews were advised, before taking off
on their first mission, how to identify a 'rigged' Monopoly set --
by means of a tiny red dot, one cleverly rigged to look like
an ordinary printing glitch, located in the corner of the Free
Parking square. Of the estimated 35,000 Allied POWS who
successfully escaped, an estimated one-third were aided in their
flight by the rigged Monopoly sets. Everyone who di d so w as
sworn to secrecy indefinitely, since the British Government
might want to use this highly successful ruse in still another,
future war. The story wasn't de-classified until 2007, when the
surviving craftsmen from Waddington's, as well as the firm
itself, were finally honored in a public ceremony.
Anyway, it's always nice when you can play that 'Get Out of Jail
Free' card.

I realize you're all too young for WWII (!),
but this is still interesting, isn't it?

WHY CHILDREN ARE LIKE KITES....

"Why Children are like Kites"

You spend years trying to get them off the ground.

You run with them until you are both breathless. They crash ... they
hit the roof ... you patch, comfort and assure them that someday they will
fly.

Finally, they are airborne.

They need more string, and you keep letting it out.

They tug, and with each twist of the twine, there is sadness that goes
with joy.

The kite becomes more distant, and you know it won't be long before
that beautiful creature will snap the lifeline that binds you together and
will soar as meant to soar...free and alone.

Only then do you know that you have done your job.

If you have children, love them, cherish them and appreciate them.
Having children is the only thing we do as humans where we are partners with
God in creation. Divine energy is about unconditional love. And the only way
one can truly learn this is by having children. Only a parent can internally
understand what it means to constantly give and give and give – especially
to an infant – without expecting anything in return.

THE LAW IS THE LAW

THE LAW IS THE LAW!
I really love this one
This is one of the better e-mails I have received in a long time!
I WONDER IS THE NEXT GROUP OF OFFICIALS IN D.C. WILL DO ANY BETTER...BGR 


THE LAW IS THE LAW


So 'if' the US government determines that it is against the
!
law for the words 'under God' to be on our money, then,
so be it.


And 'if' that same government decides that the
'Ten Commandments'
are not to be used in or on a
government installation, then,
so be it.


I say,
'so be it,' because I would like to be a
law abiding US citizen.


I say,
'so be it,' because I would like to think that
smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.


I would like to think that those people have the
American public's best interests at heart.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?

Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings
,
I don't believe the Government and its
employees should participate in the
Easter and Christmas
celebrations which honor the God
that our government
is eliminating from many facets of American life.


I'd like my
mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day.

I'd like the
' US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as
well as Sundays.'
After all, it's just another day.


I'd like the
Senate and the House of Representatives
to not have to worry about getting home for the
'Christmas Break.' After all it's just another day.

I'm thinking that a lot of
my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would
work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter.
It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other
day of the week
to a government that is trying to be
'politically correct..'
In fact....

I think that
our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God...) because, after all, our government says that
it should be just another day....
What do you all think????

If this idea gets to enough people,
maybe our elected
officials will stop giving in to the 'minority opinions'
and begin, once again, to represent the 'majority'
of ALL of the American people.

SO BE IT...........

Please Dear Lord,

Give us the help needed to keep you in our country!

'Amen' and 'Amen'
Touche!


These are definitely things I never thought about but
from now on, I will be sure to question those in
government who support these changes.


At the top, it says
'I hope this makes its way around
the USA several times over!!!!!'

Let's see that it does.

INVISIBLE MOTHER


Invisible Mother.....
 
It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response,
the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and
ask to be taken to the store. Inside I'm thinking, 'Can't you see I'm on
the phone?'
 
Obviously not; no one can see if I'm on the phone, or cooking, or
sweeping the floor, or even standing on my head in the corner, because no
one can see me at all. I'm invisible. The invisible Mom. Some days I am
only a pair of hands, nothing more! Can you fix this? Can you tie this? Can
you open this??
 
Some days I'm not a pair of hands; I'm not even a human being. I'm
a clock to ask, 'What time is it?' I'm a satellite guide to answer, 'What
number is the Disney Channel?' I'm a car to order, 'Right around 5:30,
please.'
 
I was certain that these were the hands that once held books and
the eyes that studied history and the mind that graduated summa cum
laude -but now, they had disappeared into the peanut butter, never to be
seen again. She's going, she's going, she's gone!?
 
One night, a group of us were having dinner, celebrating the return
of a friend from England .. Janice had just gotten back from a fabulous
trip, and she was going on and on about the hotel she stayed in. I was
sitting there, looking around at the others all put together so well. It
was hard not to compare and feel sorry for myself. I was feeling pretty
pathetic, when Janice turned to me with a beautifully wrapped package, and
said, 'I brought you this.' It was a book on the great cathedrals of Europe
.. I wasn't exactly sure why she'd given it t o me until I read her
inscription: 'To Nancy , with admiration for the greatness of what you are
building when no one sees.'
 
In the days ahead I would read - no, devour - the book. And I would
discover what would become for me, four life-changing truths, after which I
could pattern my work: No one can say who built the great cathedrals - we
have no record of their names. These builders gave their whole lives for a
work they would never see finished. They made great sacrifices and expected
no credit. The passion of their building was fueled by their faith that the
eyes of God saw everything.
 
A legendary story in the book told of a rich man who came to visit
the cathedral while it was being built, and he saw a workman carving a tiny
bird on the inside of a beam. He was puzzled and asked the man, 'Why are
you spending so much time carving that bird into a beam that will be
covered by the roof, No one will ever see it. And & the workman replied,
'Because God sees.'
 
I closed the book, feeling the missing piece fall into place. It
was almost as if I heard God whispering to me, 'I see you, Nancy. I see the
sacrifices you make every day, even when no one around you does.
 
No act of kindness you've done, no sequin you've sewn on, no
cupcake you've baked, is too small for me to notice and smile over. You are
building a great cathedral, but you can't see right now what it will
become. At times, my invisibility feels like an affliction. But it is not
a disease that is erasing my life. It is the cure for the disease of my own
self-centeredness. It is the antidote to my strong, stubborn pride.
 
I keep the right perspective when I see myself as a great builder.
As one of the people who show up at a job that they will never see
finished, to work on something that their name will never be on. The writer
of the book went so far as to say that no cathedrals could ever be built in
our lifetime because there are so few people willing to sacrifice to that
degree.
 
When I really think about it, I don't want my son to tell the friend
he's bringing home from college for Thanksgiving, 'My Mom gets up at 4 in
the morning and bakes homemade pies, and then she hand bastes a turkey for
3 hours and presses all the linens for the table.' That would mean I'd
built a shrine or a monument to myself. I just want him to want to come
home. And then, if there is anything more to say to his friend, to add,
'You're gonna love it there.'
 
As mothers, we are building great cathedrals. We cannot be seen if
we're doing it right. And one day, it is very possible that the world will
marvel, not only at what we have built, but at the beauty that has been
added to the world by the sacrifices of invisible women.
 
Great Job, MOM!
 
Share this with all the Invisible Moms you know... I just did. The
Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect
you.
