TODAY IS...JOHNNY APPLESEED DAY

Yes, there really was a Johnny Appleseed. His real name was John Chapman - born in Massachusetts in 1774. But he didn't just walk around the country sprinkling apple seeds all over the place. He was a serious nurseryman who set out orchards in the widerness of the MidWest. He then gave or sold trees to the pioneers moving West who depended on apples as a staple in their diets

TODAY'S TRIVIA

Today is Genealogy Day, a time to celebrate names and start a great hobby Today is Apple Appreciation Day, honoring the memory of Johnny "Appleseed" Chapman, who died on this date in 1847. He planted apple trees everywhere he went and was regarded by native Americans a great medicine man

1302: Romeo Monteveccio married Juliet Cappelleto in Citadela, Italy, and inspired Shakespeare to write a play about them. They had never seeneach other

1903: Lawrence Welk was born in Strasburg, North Dakota. He sold accordion lessons by mail before his TV show became a hit. The 16-year network show still thrives in syndication. His only hit record was "Calcutta" in 1960.

1951: The comic strip "Dennis the Menace" first appeared in U.S. newspapers. His favorite drink was root beer. For years, he always carried a slingshot in his back pocket

TODAY'S SMILE

It arose one morning from the bowels of my desk, a formless mass that spread and covered itself over anything I was looking for. "Who are you?" I asked. "I am Clutter," the mass answered, "and I am here to confound your life.

I am the things you refuse to throw out though you haven't used them in six years, the miscellaneous papers, phone numbers, business cards, things you accumulate and don't put away. I am the inevitable manifestation of your sloppiness. I am Clutter." I grabbed Clutter and moved it from one end of the desk to the other.

Clutter chortled.

That's my favorite pastime. Moving from one end of the desk to the other. "What do you want?" Iasked.

"To frustrate you. I will resist all attempts to remove me, reduce me, or otherwise eliminate me. It's my purpose to hide whatever important piece of paper you need, whichever phone number you must call."

"I'm throwing you out," I stormed. Clutter shook his untidy mass sadly, as in pity. "Not without looking through me to see if there's anything you really need,"

Clutter answered. "The odds are slim, but you won't take that chance. And while your sorting through me, I'll re-form in another pile." "But you'll be smaller, more manageable."

"Not really. You'll decide to keep 90% of me, as you always do. And soon, new papers, numbers, documents will gather, making me more obstructive than ever." "You won't ruin my life, Clutter! I'll start a filing system! Put a bit of you where you belong."

Clutter gazed at me contemptuously. "The last time you tried that, you created my cousins, Chaos and Disorder. It'll never work."

Clutter had me and I knew it. Attempts in the past to file things alphabetically had only created 26 piles of mess instead of one. I was desperate, so I decided to bluff. "I'll take a time management course," I threatened.

Clutter quite rightly ignored my remark. I wasn't dealing with an idiot, after all. "Then I'll buy a computer and store you on my floppy disks!" "And within a month your disk-filing system will be in total disarray, plus you'll have another pile of papers waiting to be entered onto disks.

Face it, you can't win.

Exasperated, I ran to the closet. "I'm getting some air. "Clutter had been to the closet before me. Shoes were scattered, shirts were unhung, clumps of pants and underwear lay strewn next to towels and a lawn chair. Socks congealed in small piles, looking like the waste product of some nylon-eating monster. Cliff notes from A Tale of Two Cities lay atop the heater.

"Clutter," I yelled. "You have crippled my productivity for the last time. No longer will I be late, no more will I miss appointments, never again shall I be overwhelmed by your size and withdraw into reading old magazines. I am going out to the store to buy a paper shredder."

I looked around for a long moment. "Now where did I leave my keys?"

Clutter burped !

TODAY'S REFLECTION

Prophecy: I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth Isaiah 49:6b

Fulfillment: Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: 'We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles Acts 13:46

If you want to start a campfire, you have to get a spark, possibly by rubbing flints together, then the spark lights a few twigs and soon you have a blazing fire. God chose a most unlikely person to be a spark that was "a light to the Gentiles." Paul was a Pharisee, a militant enemy of the Christians. Yet Jesus spoke to Paul as he was traveling to Damascus, causing Paul’s conversion.

HAPPY FRIDAY

This morning I’m waiting for the Columbia Gas man to come, he is installing an electronic device that will allow them to read my meter from the outside. They complain because I’m never home when they come to read the meter. I’m at work when they come.

Then I’m off to the folks house to spend the rest of the day. I’m busy tomorrow, my usual day to go, as the babes are coming in to celebrate March birthdays. We’re going to the West Side Market and to O’Boy’s for dinner then back here for birthday cake.

He made sure they didn't! Ravens arenow kept at the Tower by clipping their wings. They have their own lodgings, are cared for by the Ravenmaster - and they take all the tourists in stride.

TODAY'S SMILE

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.

I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rock. I want to think M&M's are better than money because you can eat them.

I want to lie under a big oak tree, and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day. I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care.

All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset. I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.

I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life, and be overly excited by the little things again. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountain of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

So . . . here's my checkbook, my car keys, my credit card bills, and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, well, you'll have to catch me first, cause. . .

"TAG!! YOU'RE IT!!!

(I know this is an oldie and you’ve probably heard it before, but it so fit the description of how I feel that I just had to share it again !!!)

NEW WORLD DAY - Amerigo Vespucci , born March 9, 1451, was a merchant and an outfitter of ships, a job that introduced him to Christopher Columbus. Their stars would cross again in 1507 when a German mapmaker named the new continent on his maps, America. The mapmaker had not heard of Columbus’ discovery at the time. So Columbus got the credit for the discovery; but the discovery bore the name of Vespucci ... forever In reality, Vespucci had participated in two major expeditions between the years 1499 and 1502, to the coast of South America. There he discovered the Amazon and Plate Rivers. Vespucci thought he had discovered a new continent ... or a New World

TODAY'S SMILE

A road was closed to repair a collapsed sewer-pipe. The actual road closure was not apparent until a person drove around a bend, so drivers would go around the closure sign to see if the road was really impassable. Once they went around the bend, they'd have to turn around in the narrow road. Their embarrassment was made worse by the back of the "ROAD CLOSED" sign, which read: "TOLD YOU SO !

While waiting to board a plane in a small airport, the ticket agent made the following announcement on the paging system: "Would the person who dropped his pants please return to the ticket counter." After a slight pause, the same voice added, "The pants were on a hanger!

There once was an elephant who came down with a very serious cold. He was so stuffed up that he couldn't really breath through his trunk anymore. "No one has ever suffered as much as I," he moaned to himself. After he failed to get better for over a week, the elephant was sure that he was going to die. So he called all of his friends together for a farewell party, and he gave away all of his worldly possessions, in lieu of having a will. The next day, the elephant woke up in perfect health, and penniless.

The moral? Just because your trunk's packed doesn't mean you're ready to go

TODAY IS...SALT WATER DAY

Why is ocean water salty? River water picks up mineral salts from rocks and soil as it flows to the ocean. Not much salt is in that river water, but hold on! Ocean water only evaporates (or freezes into polar ice), and the salt stays behind, so... over time, the ocean just gets saltier and saltier. If all the salt was taken from the oceans and sprinkled on land, it would make a layer about 500 feet deep - as high as a 40 story building. Now, that's a lot of salt
