Food for thought – Always remember that you’re unique. Just like everyone else.
Have you written your note about your father? There is still time to write it and post it on our bulletin board. We still have room for your story or saying.
Our condolences go out to the family of Alice Hancock. She was a sweet little lady. We miss you Alice.

Just for laughs – One morning a woman said to her husband, “I bet you don’t know what day this is.”
“Of course I do,” he indignantly answered, going out the door on his way to the office.
At 11:00, the doorbell rang, and when the woman answered it, she was handed a box containing a dozen long-stemmed red roses.
At 1:00, a foil-wrapped box of her favorite chocolates arrived.
Later in the afternoon, a boutique delivered a designer dress.
The woman couldn’t wait for her husband to come home. “First the flowers, then the candy, and then the dress!” she exclaimed when he walked in the door. “I’ve never had a more wonderful groundhog day in my whole life!”

Just for Laughs – A salesman, tired of his job, gave it up to become a policeman. Several months later, a friend asked him how he liked his new career.
“Well,” he replied, “the pay could be better, and the hours can be long, but what I like about it is that the customer is always wrong.”
Food for Thought – Stand tall, and be you in your own wonderful way.

Weekly Techie Tip #008
by Zane the Tech Man Slaton Tech Ph 329-0312 slatontech@gmail.com
Have you ever had a friend or family member that you would consider a geek or maybe even a nerd? They have collections of things that you have no idea what they are or why someone would spend money on. So when it comes time for a birthday or Christmas you want to get them something amazing but have no idea where to even start looking?
Thinkgeek.com has been around for a very long time and does nothing but specailize in the “needless awesomeness”. They have things for collectors of every kind of sci-fi genre, superheroes, Star Trek even Dr. Who. My favorite section of this site is the gadgets. They make the most ridiculous alarm clocks that make sounds loud enough to wake your neighbors or even simulate an earthquake. Sporks made out of titanium or a bottle opener that opens like a butterfly knife. This site is nothing less than a nerd’s dream come true.
A LOOMING COWBOYS DISASTER?
by Glenn Branscum Blog
MR. JONES SCARED OF… (DEZ) RAY RICE TYPE INCIDENT?
Some things make absolutely no-sense until… they make total-sense. And, I am sure hoping that the Dallas Cowboys management has not been sandbagging the Dez Bryant contract because they know more than just the something that has only been speculation up and until now.
Here’s what I am writing about:
“I don’t even know that the tape exists,” Florio said of the video. “That’s just the chatter … that there’s video of some incident that the Cowboys are afraid is going to come out and have a Ray Rice-type impact on Dez Bryant over the long-haul.”
