Sarah, the church gossip and self-appointed supervisor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.
Several residents were unappreciative of her activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his pickup truck parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon.
She commented to George and others that everyone seeing it there would know that he was an alcoholic. George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just walked away. He said nothing.
Later that evening, George, quietly parked his pickup in front of Sarah's house...............
AND he left it there all night.

After analyzing data on 126,000 people for as long as 18 years, Harvard researchers calculate that compared with not partaking in America's favorite morning drink, downing one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce diabetes risk by single digits. But having six cups or more each day slashed men's risk by 54% and women's by 30% over java avoiders.
Consider this: At least six studies indicate that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's, with three showing the more they drink, the lower the risk. Other research shows that compared to not drinking coffee, at least two cups daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in liver cirrhosis risk, and nearly half the risk of gallstones.
There's also some evidence that coffee may help manage asthma and even control attacks when medication is unavailable, stop a headache, boost mood, and even prevent cavities.
"The evidence is very strong that regular coffee consumption reduces risk of Parkinson's disease and for that, it's directly related to caffeine," DePaulis tells WebMD. "In fact, Parkinson's drugs are now being developed that contain a derivative of caffeine based on this evidence."
Translation: If you are jittery enough, diseases can't see you. My grandfather died with (perhaps not OF) a form of Parkinson's, and my grandmother had Alzheimers, and their parents had the same things, so I am going to get up and brew some more COFFEE!

Your older brother is in a steaming, hot shower getting ready for his Saturday night date. Little brother sneaks in with a 5 gallon bucket full of ice water, stands on a stool, and dumps the entire 5 gallon bucket over the shower curtain. OH! - I forgot - AND THEN RUNS COMPLETELY OUT OF THE HOUSE AND DOWN THE BLOCK!
HAHAHA...

What about forts? No one I think said anything about forts. I remember one time we wanted to make a fort in this bush but there was a nest of hornets that lived in the ground. It was my bright idea to make a soap water solution to pour into the hole. We designated John to go and pour it on the bees. He poured it down the hole and all the sudden a swarm of angry bees were chasing him. Boy could that kid run fast!
I bet he ran fast, LOL! My grandparents lived in the Appalachian country, and we moved there to take care of grandma. It was great, woods and creeks and hilly fields. My sister and I made forts with branches and rocks, with moss for carpets, as well as bridges and paths... Other things I remember growing up:
Wild strawberry picking wild blackberries and raspberries, for me! See? I was born in 1985 and growing up we still knew how to have fun Hey! I'm finally OLDER than someone on this thread!!
