The Coffee Shop / Children 'explain' Marriage!
« on: January 02, 2012, 01:03:28 pm »1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
(written by kids)
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff.
Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10
-No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10
2. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10
3. HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8
4. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8
5. WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
-Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)
-On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10
6. WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
-When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7
-The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- - Curt, age 7
-The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
- - Howard, age 8
7. IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child )
8. HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8
And the #1 Favorite is .......
9. HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck.
-- Ricky, age 10

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen."
-Leonardo da Vinci

The Coffee Shop / Sportsmanship....
« on: December 26, 2011, 05:20:23 pm »
At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside and asked, 'Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?' The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
'Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?'
The little boy nodded 'yes'.
'So,' the coach continued, 'I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a pecker-head. Do you understand all that?' The little boy nodded 'yes' again.
He continued, 'And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach a dumb ass' is it?' The little boy shook his head 'NO'.
'GOOD', said the coach.
'Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother.?
'Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?'
The little boy nodded 'yes'.

The Coffee Shop / Raspberry Sauce
« on: December 23, 2011, 10:44:07 am »
RASPBERRY SAUCE
(From ?Grampa Ed? for adding to almost anything!)
Ingredients:
1 Package frozen Red Raspberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 stick butter
How to do it:
Combine sugar and water In a saucepan.
Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. (stir constantly)
Continue cooking until mixture thickens.
Stir in the frozen Raspberries and butter stirring and cooking until the berries are thawed.
Bring to a boil and continue cooking until the syrup thickens to your taste.
You can transfer this to a blender and liquefy or leave it as it is.
I have been known to blend and strain to get rid of the seeds.
I have also been known to add such things as Rum, Amaretto, or Gran Marnier as the mood strikes me and the occasion demands.
Especially wonderful when served warm over Chocolate Cheesecake!
Enjoy!

The Coffee Shop / It must be the Christmas Season!
« on: December 22, 2011, 02:19:14 pm »
MEDINA, Ohio (AP) ? A cat has survived a four-hour, 200-mile ride under the hood of a car traveling through Ohio.
WJW-TV reports ( bit.ly/vqGcUr) a man who'd left Xenia (ZEEN'-yuh) in southwest Ohio on a drive to Cleveland Sunday afternoon stopped at a rest area south of his destination when he smelled something. A patrolling state trooper found the motorist with his hood up and a large black and white cat that wasn't his stuck in the engine compartment. The animal had burns on the right side.
The cat was taken to an animal hospital in nearby Lodi (LOH'-dy) where Dr. Linda Randall said he was going to be fine.
Randall is calling him "Eclipse" because that was the model of the car. The SPCA is trying to find the feline's owner.
