A LETTER TO THE EDITOR (THIS WAS SENT TO ME ON THE INTERNET. IT WAS PRINTED AS A LETTER TO AN EDITOR IN A NEWSPAPER. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD) THE OTHER DAY SOMEONE AT A STORE IN OUR TOWN READ THAT A METH LAB WAS FOUND IN AN OLD FARMHOUSE IN THE ADJOINING COUNTY AND HE ASKED ME A RETORIAL QUESTION, "WHY DIDN'T WE HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM WHEN YOU AND I WERE GROWING UP?" I REPLIED I HAD A DRUG PROBLEM WHEN I WAS YOUNG: I WAS DRUG TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY MORNING; I WAS DRUG TO CHURCH FOR WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS. I WAS DRUG TO FAMILY REUNIONS AND COMMUNITY SOCIALS NO MATTER THE WEATHER. I WAS DRUG BY MY EARS WHEN I WAS DISRESPECTFUL TO ADULTS. I WAS ALSO DRUG TO THE WOOD SHED WHEN I DISOBEYED MY PARENTS, TOLD A LIE, BROUGHT HOME A BAD REPORT CARD, DID NOT SPEAK WITH RESPECT, SPOKE ILL OF THE TEACHER OR A PREACHER, OR IF I DIDN’T PUT FORTH MY BEST EFFORT IN EVERYTHING THAT WAS ASKED OF ME. I WAS DRUG TO THE KITCHEN SINK TO HAVE MY MOUTH WASHED OUT WITH SOAP IF I UTTERED A PROFANITY. I WAS DRUG OUT TO PULL WEEDS IN MOM'S GARDEN, FLOWER BEDS OR COCKLEBURS OUT OF MY DAD'S FIELDS. I WAS DRUG TO THE HOMES OF FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS TO HELP OUT SOME POOR SOUL WHO HAD NO ONE TO MOW THE YARD, REPAIR THE CLOTHESLINE, OR CHOP SOME FIREWOOD AND IF MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE EVER KNOWN THAT I TOOK A SINGLE DIME AS A TIP FOR THIS KINDNESS, SHE WOULD HAVE DRUG ME BACK TO THE WOODSHED. THOSE DRUGS ARE STILL IN MY VEINS AND THEY AFFECT MY BEHAVIOR IN EVERYTHING I DO, SAY OR THINK. THEY ARE STRONGER THAT COCAINE, CRACK, OR HEROIN AND IF TODAYS CHILDREN HAD THIS KIND OF DRUG PROBLEM, AMERICA WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE. GOD BLESSES THE PARENTS WHO DRUGGED US.

OUR APRIL "ATTA BOY" AWARDS GO TO ALYCIA AND AKESHA JUAREZ. ALYCIA AND AKESHA HAVE DELIVERED OUR MINOT DAILY NEWS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. THEY SO A FINE JOB. THEY ARE ALSO WILLING TO HELP OUT DONNA WHEN SHE NEEDS IT AND THESE ARE TWO GREAT GIRLS. THEY EACH RECEIVE A FREE HAMBURGER AND FRENCH FRIES FROM DONNA AT THE MEMORIAL DINER. THANK YOU ALYCIA & AKESHA! THANK YOU, DONNA! ****************************** EASTER, MARCH 23,2008 DID YOU WONDER WHY EASTER WAS SO EARLY THIS YEAR? EASTER IS ALWAYS THE 1 ST SUNDAY AFTER THE 1 ST FULL MOON AFTER THE SPRING EQUINOX WHICH WAS MARCH 20 TH. THIS DATING OF EASTER WAS BASED ON THE LUNAR CALENDAR THAT HEBREW PEOPLE USED TO IDENTIFY PASSOVER, WHICH IS WHY IT MOVES AROUND IN DATE ON OUR ROMAN BASED CALENDAR. EASTER CAN ACTUALLY BE ONE DAY EARLIER, MARCH 22, BUT THAT IS PRETTY RARE. THIS YEAR IS THE EARLIEST EASTER ANY OF US WILL EVER SEE FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. ONLY THE MOSE ELDERLY OF OUR POPULATION HAVE EVER SEEN IT THIS EARLY (95 YEARS OLD OR ABOVE). NONE OF US HAVE EVER, OR EVER WILL, SEE IT A DAY EARLIER. HERE ARE THE FACTS: THE NExT TIME EASTER WILL BE THIS EARLY (MARCH 23) WILL BE IN THE YEAR 2228, 220 YEARS FROM NOW. THE LAST TIME IT WAS THIS EARLY WAS 1913. THE NEXT TIME IT WILL BE A DAY EARLIER, MARCH 22 ND, WILL BE IN THE YEAR 2285, 227 YEARS FROM NOW! THE LAST TIME IT WAS ON MARCH 22 ND WAS THE YEAR 1818. THANK YOU TO RUBY BOUTILIER FOR THIS ARTICLE. IT WAS GREAT! ********************************** ARLAND MUELLER RETIRED ON MARCH 29 TH AT 12:01. GOOD LUCK ARLAND! |
It is guaranteed you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now. . A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about father," said the son. "I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor." So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a >tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.  |

JUST A THOUGHT. . .I DID SOMETHING THE OTHER DAY THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER DO. SOME VIPS FROM CANADA CAME DOWN TO OUR WAREHOUSE FOR THE DAY. THEY WANTED TO GET US ALL PIZZA FOR LUNCH BUT THE DELIVERY PEOPLE WERE BACKED UP SO I SAID I WOULD GO AND GET THE PIZZA. I ASKED LES HOW HE WANTED ME TO PAY FOR IT. HE SAID JUST TAKE HIS CREDIT CARD. I SAID OK BUT I ASKED HIM IF HE WAS GOING TO BAIL ME OUT WHEN THEY ARRESTED ME FOR USING SOMEONE ELSES CREDIT CARD. HE TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY, JUST SIGN HIS NAME AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE. NOW I'M FROM NORTH DAKOTA, I DON'T EVEN HAVE MY OWN CREDIT CARDS AND I MOST CERTAINLY HAVE NEVER USED ANYONE ELSE'S CARD. I STOLLED INTO PIZZA HUT SAID MY NAME FOR THE ORDER, HANDED HER THE CARD, SIGNED HIS NAME, COLLECTED MY SLIP AND PIZZA AND WALKED OUT THE DOOR. WOW! THAT WAS EASY! MAYBE I SHOULD MAKE A TRIP TO WALMART! BUT I AM FROM NORTH DAKOTA AND I WAS DRUGGED TO PLACES TOO, AND I KNOW BETTER. THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE SLIP. HOW EASY IS THAT! NO WONDER PEOPLE GET BY WITH SO MUCH. MAYBE THAT LADY WHO WAITED ON ME WAS FROM NORTH DAKOTA, TOO AND HAD BEEN DRUGGED PLACES TOO. IT JUST AMAZED ME HOW EASY IT WOULD BE IF I WANTED TO BE A CROOK. I COULD OF WENT TO I KEATINGS (I HEARD THEY WERE HAVING A SALE) AND BOUGHT THE NEW FURNITURE I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO BUY. I COULD OF STOCKED UP ON GROCERIES, I COULD OF EVEN WENT TO THE MALL (OR, PROBABLY NOT, I HATE THE MALL), OR SOMEWHERE TO GET SOME NEW CLOTHES. I COULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT BECAUSE I WAS RAISED DIFFERNTLY THAN THAT. I WAS DRUGGED TO CHURCH AND DRUGGED TO THE NEIGHBORS AND I DID BABYSITTING FOR PENNIES SO THEY COULD GO OUT, CAUSE THEY NEVER GOT TO GO ANYWHERE WITH OUT THE KIDS CAUSE THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO GO OUT AND PAY A BABYSITTER TOO. MY DAD WOULD SAY IT WAS OK THAT THEY PAID WHAT THEY PAID ME CAUSE WE WERE NEIGHBORS AND I ALWAYS WENT BACK CAUSE MY DAD SAID SO. I DON'T THINK I TURNED OUT SO BAD. I DON'T THINK MY KIDS TURNED OUT SO BAD, THEY WERE DRUGGED, TOO! THANKS MOM AND DAD! ENUF SAID, JO
