Nineteen terrorists wielding box cutters managed to take over four planes. Two planes flew into the World Trade Towers, one into the Pentagon and one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. This Pennsylvania plane crash was directly due to the efforts of some brave passengers who knew that their love of America would prevail over the efforts of the terrorists.
Over 3,000 died on that day and many more have died since then due to the medical problems related to the terrorist acts.
A piece of America's crown may have been torn off, but the crown didn't fall. The crown is now repaired and stands strong again....and with resolve. This is the land of the brave and we will not back down. In our response to the terrorists of the world, and to coin the words of Shakespeare.... brevity is the soul of wit....we say.....Go To H*ll!
Today we are on alert. It may be a false threat but if not the terrorists will try to make us fall. They will want to prevail. We await their attempts, our military and police are ready. Ready to act and to react. We are made of some strong fabric....it can't easily be torn. The terrorists can try but we won't give in to their attempts. I say.....get 'em. We await with anticipation and hope that a true terrorist act will not exist this time. To the terrorists I say....the last time your attacks using explosives, and airplanes into buildings, accomplished little except for deaths. Evil begets evil...our Bible, the Quran/Koran and the Torah say so. Wonder who is the worst evil?

Recipe
Stuffed Green Pepper Soup
2 15 oz cans tomato sauce
2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
3 1/2 cups water
2 cups diced green bell peppers
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 cup uncooked minute rice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/8 cup packed brown suger
Brown beef in skillet and drain. Add all ingredients to the soup pot (or crock pot) and cook until peppers are tender. More water can be added as soup cooks to make it your desired consistency. If you like stuffed green peppers, you will think you are eating those instead of soup. Note: you might like a sweeter taste, and if so, add a bit more brown sugar.
Thought For The Day
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
--Anais Nin
Laughter is the best medicine. I believe this and try to laugh at least two times a day.
Laughter releases endorphins which are the feel better chemicals in the body. These give you an all over good feeling and can even temporarily relieve pain in some instances. To laugh can also relieve stress and can dissolve depressive emotions.
I think we should all laugh all day long, but can you imagine what others would think of a bunch of laughing people....they would probably think we were a bunch of laughing hyenas.
I'll tell you a couple of real life laughter items as long as you won't hold it against me:
I wear top dentures. One day my grandson was here....I had the dentures in a glass of water cleaning them. He saw the dentures and said....Grandma are you going to put those under your pillow for the tooth fairy?
Another time, we were at my daughter's house. I told my grandson we had to say the prayer before we could eat. He said, why, we might be eating at mom's house, but you cooked this grandma, so why do we need a prayer?
I bet you laughed at those......and if you did, you just helped save your heart. Because to laugh is to help your heart and almost every other part of your body.
Today, tell yourself to laugh more or at least smile. Don't be a fuddy duddy. Be happy!
Hope you laughed at these jokes!!!!
