some hotels are being investigated for raising their prices during hurricane ike.

if you have 1000 people come to your hotel,and you only have 200 rooms, isn't it a matter of supply and demand. like with anything else, the more rare it is the more valuable it becomes. if it is rare to find a decent hotel room, because they are almost all taken, the more valuable they are to the people wanting them. a Honus Wagner baseball card is very valuable because there are very few of them still around,and many people would like to have one. it's up to people to decide if it's worth it to pay the price for the room, or go without it. no one is forcing them to rent the room.

apparently north Korea has recently tested a long range missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. there is no info if the test was successful. iran is blocking UN inspectors from seeing there nuclear facilities. are they testing nuclear missiles too??? we don't know for sure.

if either of these nation get nuclear capabilities will WW3 be closer than ever? i think these countries having "the bomb" is like an arsonist having a book of matches. it can only lead to trouble,and destruction.

This week, the NFL released its new league-wide fan code of conduct. The rules are pretty simple:

  • No unruly, disruptive or illegal behavior
  • No drunkenness or signs of alcohol impairment
  • No foul or abusive language
  • No verbal or physical harassment of fans from opposing teams

    in an effort to make nfl games more pleasant for all fans the nfl has come up with conduct rules that fans must follow during games, or risk being thrown out of the stadium. with these rules in place it will totally change the way fans enjoy the game and express themselves during the game. i guess when our team scores we will have to sit quietly, clap our hand lightly, and say bravo......bravo. since when did the nfl start puting on operas. will these new rules keep you from going to the stadium,and watch the game at home, or at a sports bar???

    i took my nephew to an astros game last week (Yes, they lost a 3rd straight game to the pirates). after the game was over i took him over to the garage where the players come out so he could see some of his favorite players. as the players were driving out they weren't even acknowledging that the fans(about 15-20 children, and their parents) were standing out there. they drove past doing their best to avoid looking at the kids. one player walked out of the garage. he completely threw the children crazy as they were calling his name and praising him.

    i don't get these atheletes have to be that way with the children(some of their biggest fans). i mean, ok so they lost a game. don't they realize these children don't care about wins vs. losses, batting avg., hits, etc...... the adults are the ones who keep track of all that stuff. the children just want to see their favorite players. would it really hurt these atheletes to wave at the kids as they go by, or glance and give a quick smile. if it wasn't for the kids who go to these games, buy the sports products, and spend their parents money on this stuff, where would pro sports be??

    i just watched the hurricane briefing for today. they talk about a tropical wave being out there, but say it will not form because of upper level winds that will tear it apart.

    with these winds in place does that mean that all storms that get near us will be torn apart before they reach us. if so then will this be a very quiet season for us that we really don't have to worry about?

    i would like the opinion of one of the weather guys on this one.

    Joe Horn was cleared of  criminal charges in the shooting death of two immigrants who were burglarizing his neighbors home. the shooting occurred when Horn confronted the burglars and they threaten him by coming onto his property.

    That's one for the good guys. good to see that someone is not afraid to take a stand against criminals. i wish i had a neighbor like him. He should be given a medal, and a parade in his honor. this case never should have gone to the grand jury.

    This week marks the 15th anniversary of Lorena Bobbit severing her husband john's private. she was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.her defense was he had raped her after she had denied him sex. if he did rape her, does that give her the right to take the law into her own and attack him in his sleep.

    with all the domestic violence we here about in the news, should the victim have the right to retaliate, and not have to answer for their actions? should the insanity defense be allowed in cases like this, or any case for that matter?

    This is just too funny not to share. Excerpted from an article which
    appeared in the Dublin Times about a bank robbery on March 2.
    Once
    inside the bank shortly after
    midnight, their efforts at

    disabling the security system got underway immediately. The robbers,

    who  expected to find one or two large safes filled with cash and

    valuables, were surprised to see hundreds of smaller safes scattered
    throughout the

    bank.  The robbers cracked the first safe's combination, and inside they


    found only a bowl of vanilla pudding. As recorded on the bank's

    audiotape system, one robber said, "At least we'll have a bit to eat."


    The robbers opened up a second safe, and it also contained

    nothing but vanilla pudding. The process continued until all the safes
    were opened.

    They found not one pound sterling, a diamond, or an ounce of

    gold. Instead, all the safes contained covered bowls of pudding.

    Disappointed, the robbers made a quiet exit, each leaving with

    nothing more than a queasy, uncomfortably full stomach.

    The newspaper headline read:

    IRELAND
    'S LARGEST SPERM BANK ROBBED EARLY THIS MORNING

    Send this to anyone you think needs a good laugh.

    WRITTEN BY A 15 yr. old SCHOOL KID IN ARIZONA :


     


    New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME) !

     




    Since the Pledge of Allegiance
    and
    The Lord's Prayer
    are not allowed in most
    public schools anymore
    Because the word "God" is mentioned....
    A kid in Arizona wrote the attached




     




     

     



    NEW School prayer

     

    :
    Now I sit me down in school
    Where praying is against the rule
    For this great nation under God
    Finds mention of Him very odd.





     

     




    If Scripture now the class recites,
    It violates the Bill of Rights.
    And anytime my head I bow
    Becomes a Federal matter now.

     






     

     




    Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
    That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
    The law is specific, the law is precise.
    Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

     

     




     

     




    For praying in a public hall
    Might offend someone with no faith at all.
    In silence alone we must meditate,
    God's name is prohibited by the state.

     






     

     



    We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
    And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
    They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
    To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
    We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
    And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
    It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
    We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.

     






     

     




    We can get our condoms and birth controls,
    Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
    But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
    No word of God must reach this crowd.

     






     

     




    It's scary here I must confess,
    When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
    So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
    Should I be shot; My soul please take!
    Amen

     

     




     

     




    If you aren't ashamed to do this,
    please pass this on.

    Jesus said,
    "If you are ashamed of me,
    I will be ashamed of you before my Father."

    A One Question Test! Body: A One Question Test!

    This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.

    By

    giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

    The

    test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you

    will have to make a decision.

    Remember that your answer needs to be

    honest, yet spontaneous.



    Please read down slowly and give due consideration to each line.



    ----------------------------------------------------
    ---------------

    THE SITUATION:

    You are in Florida , Miami to be specific.

    There is chaos all around you

    caused by a hurricane with severe flooding.

    This is a flood of biblical

    proportions.



    You are photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught

    in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.



    You're trying to shoot career-making photos There are houses and people

    swirling around you, some disappearing under the water.

    Nature is

    unleashing all of its destructive fury.



    ===============================================

    THE TEST:

    Suddenly you see a woman in the water.

    She is fighting for her life,

    trying not to be taken down with the debris.



    You move closer. Somehow the woman looks familiar.

    You suddenly realize

    who it is.

    It's Hillary Clinton! At the same time you notice that the

    raging waters are about to take her under forever.



    You have two options: You can save the life of Hillary Clinton or you

    can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death

    of one of the world's most powerful women (in her mind, at least).



    ===============================================

    THE QUESTION:

    Here's the question, and please give an honest answer......."Would you

    select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic

    simplicity of black and white?"

    Apr 14, 2008 9:08 PM Subject: Cherokee Indian Body: Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of passage?

    His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.



    He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold.

    It would be the only way he could become a man!

    Finally, after a horrific night, the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm. We, too, are never alone. Even when we don't know it, our Heavenly Father is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.



    If you liked this story, pass it on. If not, perhaps you took off your blindfold before dawn.



    Moral of the Story: Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean He is not there 'For we walk by faith, not by sight.

    '
    ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7 ~

    ~DEATH~
     WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT..  

      A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to    

    leave the examination room and said,  

    "Doctor, I am afraid to die.  

     

    Tell me what lies on the other side."  

    Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."  

    "You don't know?  You, a Christian man,  

    do not know what is on the other side?"  


    The doctor was holding the handle of the door;  


    on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining,  

    and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room  

    and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.  

    Turning to the patient, the doctor said,  

    "Did you notice my dog?  

    He's never been in this room before.  

    He didn't know what was inside.  

    He knew nothing except that his master was here,  

    and when the door opened,  he sprang in without fear.  

    I know little of what is on the other side of death,  

    but I do know one thing...  


    I know my Master is there and that is enough."  




     

    (sorry - cannot break this)

    May today there be peace within you.


     

    May you trust God that you are exactly

     

    where you are meant to be.

    I believe that friends are quiet angels

    who lift us to our feet   when our wings

    have trouble remembering how to fly.



    Just pass this on...


    Do not break this, PLEASE !!!!!

    Little Johnny watched his daddy's car pass by the school Playground and go into the woods. Curious, he followed the car and saw Daddy and Aunt Jane in a passionate embrace.  Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could hardly contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his mother. 'Mommy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, and then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane...'

     

     

     

    At this point Mommy cut him off and said, 'Johnny, this is such an interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight.

     

     

     

    At the dinner table that evening, Mommy asked little Johnny to tell his story. Johnny started his story, 'I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane.. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mommy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was in the Army.

    Mommy fainted!


    Moral: Sometimes you need to listen to the whole
    story before you interrupt!
