A spammer got a hold of my email account and deleted all of the emails that I received today before 7:00 p.m., so I don't know who responded or how.? You should have received an email from me Wednesday evening explaining what happened and how your emal account may or may not have been affected.? Please read and heed that actual email from me, not the spam email that was spoofed to look like it was from me.

I did read an email from Grover this morning, informing me of the difference between a homonym and a homophone.??Thanx, Grover.??I was going to include what Grover said in today's limericks email, but the spammer deleted Grover's email after I read it.??Grover explained it better than I will, but here it goes:

?

Homonyms are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings.??Example: band can mean a ring or a musical group.??Homophones are words that share the same pronunciation, but have different spellings or meanings.??Example: heel and heal.??And then there are homographs, words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and/or pronunciations.??Example: bow - as in bend at the waist - OR - as in bow and arrow.??Some words can be homonyms, homophones, and/or homographs.??I won't attempt to explain.??If you want to understand that, you can Google it.

Every Easter our church stages an elaborate pageant. Last year the man who played Pontius Pilate had to work on the night of the dress rehearsal, and a chorus member substituted for him. As we began rehearsing Pilate's solo, the conductor stopped the orchestra. "Pilate, I don't hear you," he called out. "You're not loud enough."

"Pilate is at work," a voice on the stage shouted back. "We've got our co-Pilate tonight."

Kurt was going out with a nice girl and finally popped the question. "Will you marry me, darling?" he asked.

Lisa smiled coyly and said, "Yes, if you'll buy me a mink."

Kurt thought for a moment and then replied, "Okay, it's a deal, on one condition."

"What is that?" Lisa asked.

"You'll have to clean the cage," Kurt replied.

If America Online Was a City ...?

1) You'd live in a place where no two people had the?same name.

2) You'd only pay $21.95 a month to live there, but half the time you tried to leave your house, the door would be stuck.

3) Once you got outside, even if you were in a hurry, you'd be assaulted by slimy little door-to-door sales creeps offering you great AOL modems for only $399.99.

4) The commute to work is just a double-click away, but every time you try to leave your driveway, the flow of traffic knocks you back into your yard.

5) 48 hours after moving in, your mailbox would be overflowing with special offers, promotions and discounts from?.

6) The local post office would tell your mother you're not a known resident.

7) The local post office won't forward your mail to you when you move.

8) If you saw a crime and called 911, they'd reply a week later with a form letter saying how you "really are important to us."

9) Every time you went shopping, you'd be kicked out of the store by a bouncer screaming, "WE'RE SORRY, THIS STORE IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE."

10) Whenever you traveled to other cities, people would see your license tag and laugh at you, behind your back.

11) You'd occasionally be sent home during your day by another bouncer telling you that the city has performed an illegal operation.

12) You'd not have any idea who your neighbors are, and most new arrivals would move in at night, stuff everyone's mailbox with garbage, and vacate before sun-up.

13) The administration would build a huge, state of the art park, and allow the kids to play there free, then suddenly start demanding money.

14) Upon waking every morning, a voice from above would shout, "HEY! YOU! YOU WANT AN AOL VISA, DON'T YOU?" To which you say, "No." The voice then replies, "OK, I'LL ASK YOU AGAIN TOMORROW."

George Carlin's Views on Aging?
?
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five!

That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ... you become 21.? Even the words sound
like a ceremony ... YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to
throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling? What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.

Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away.?
Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But wait! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime.

And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!

*HOW TO STAY YOUNG*

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age,
weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay " them " .

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer,
crafts, gardening, whatever. Never? let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's Workshop." And the?devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

The junior officers challenged the senior officers at an Air Force Base in North Carolina to see who would donate the most blood.

After trying several times to locate a vein in the left arm of a young first lieutenant, the medical technician applied a Band-Aid, and then inserted a needle into the right arm, drawing blood this time, and then put a Band-Aid on that arm as well.

As he left the collection facility, the lieutenant passed a colonel. Noting the two bandages, he looked at the first lieutenant and shook his head, saying, "I knew you young guys would find some way to cheat."

A taxpayer received a strongly worded "second notice" that his taxes were overdue. Hastening to the collector's office, he paid his bill, saying apologetically that he had overlooked the first notice.

"Oh," confided the collector with a smile, "we don't send out first notices. We have found that the second notices are more effective."

When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it.?


The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave.

Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.

When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment and said, "Ah, yes, that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards."

He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling."

So the magistrate kept listening, "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."

Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate.

He stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing."

DEAR ABBY: I lost my wife 14 years ago. We were married for 26 years. Our two children are now adults. I have since remarried and moved to another state. My children love and respect their stepmother. I have five step-grandchildren who live within 15 minutes of my current home. I love them, and they love me as well. My first wife's gravesite is in the small town where we used to live, about 90 miles away.

My question concerns my final resting place. Do I request burial with the mother of my children, or at a place of my current wife's choosing near my current home, ultimately to be buried next to her? How about cremation, where my ashes could be split between two gravesites? I don't care, but I want to make a choice that will make everyone comfortable. What have others done in this situation, as I suspect this issue is not uncommon??-- PLANNING AHEAD IN DELAWARE

DEAR PLANNING:?Your question is a tough one because I'm sure you want to make everyone happy and avoid any conflict after your death. Your idea about cremation so your ashes can be divided between the two gravesites seems sensible to me. However, because I am not an expert when it comes to funeral arrangements, I took your question to the Funeral Consumers Alliance (), which had one more question for you. It was: "Have you spoken with your wife, your children and extended relatives about it?"

Once you have had these important family discussions and a decision is made, make sure your wishes are documented in a disposition form from your current state of residence. Doing so could prevent family drama at the time of your death. Kudos to you for planning ahead.



DEAR ABBY: For a long time now, I've been living in the past, thinking about how great it was and how much fun it was. I'm also obsessed with an old boyfriend who cheated and broke up with me to sleep with the "other woman." Abby, this was 48 years ago! I've been married for 35 years, but I haven't been happy since I don't know when. My husband is a wonderful guy, but I no longer feel anything for him. There's no way I can divorce him. He has multiple medical issues, and I could never do that to him. What can I do??-- YESTERDAY'S GIRL IN FLORIDA

DEAR YESTERDAY'S GIRL: It might help to take off those rose-colored glasses and come back to the present. The man you are obsessed with betrayed you and dumped you. It's time to take another look at why you married your husband. While your passion for him may have lessened and his health isn't the greatest, these things sometimes happen as people age.

You're in need of an attitude adjustment, which may involve talking with a licensed psychotherapist. If you do, it may help you rid yourself of your unhealthy preoccupation.
