Hi guys, I just woke up! Here I am, is anyone else here? I'll be here for a
little while.

As far as I can tell, penny, Christy, Robert, a second Robert, you and Me.
AI sent messages to Donna, Jodie, Will and you. Donna said she will try
again soon. The first time she couldn't make it. Havn't heard from Jodie
and Wills message came back so I must have had the wrong address.

True Story from a Friend about a Guide Dog

I was flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles.  By the time we
took off,
there had been a 45-minute delay and everyone on board was ticked.

Unexpectedly, we stopped in Sacramento on the way.  The flight
attendant
explained that there would be ANOTHER 45-minute delay,
and if we wanted to get off the aircraft, we would reboard in 30
minutes.

Everyone got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind.
I noticed him as I walked by and could tell he had flown this very
flight
before because the pilot approached him and said,
  "Keith, we're in Sacramento for almost an hour.  Would you like to
get off
and stretch your legs?"  Keith replied, "No thanks, but maybe my
dog
  would like to stretch his legs."

Now picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a
complete stand
still when they looked up and saw the PILOTwalk off the plane with
the GUIDE
  DOG!  The pilot was even wearing sunglasses!  People scattered in
every
  direction - to point out the pilot to others - to change planes
  - to change airlines, and to call their families and the media!



Joel

Yes I got on!  How many are back on so far?  Well it is great!

Christy, now, is that all the details?  Isn't the amount of your bills an
important element?  Make sure you include the plastic ones.  You know those
little cards that are so easy to flash to pay for stuff?  You would have to tear
them up and agree to never, never own another one.  Else this whole deal is null
and void.

Rusty would definitely eat the cats so that wouldn't be a problem.

I could use a couple of kids to help me love, feed and groom all the dogs and
pick up all this doggie doo.

Re: early retirement

As a result of the reduction of money budgeted for department areas, we are
forced to cut down on our number of personnel. Under this plan, older
employees will be asked to go on early retirement, thus permitting the
retention of the younger people who represent our future.

Therefore, a program to phase out older personnel by the end of the current
fiscal year, via retirement, will be placed into effect immediately.

This program will be known as SLAP (Sever Late Aged Personnel). Employees
who are SLAPPED will be given the opportunity to look for jobs outside the
company. Provided they are SLAPPED, they can request a review of their
employment records before actual retirement takes place.

This phase of the operation is called SCREW (Survey of Capabilities of
Retired Early Workers).

All employees who have been SLAPPED or SCREWED may file an appeal with the
upper management.

This is called SHAFT (Study by Higher Authority Following Termination).
Under the terms of the new policy, an employee may be SLAPPED once, SCREWED
twice, but may be SHAFTED as many times as the company deems appropriate.

If an employee follows the above procedures, he/she will be entitled to get
HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel's Early Severance) or CLAP
(Combined Lump sum Assistance Payment) unless he/she already has AIDS
(Additional Income From Dependents or Spouse).

As HERPES or CLAP are considered benefit plans, any employee who has
received HERPES or CLAP will no longer be SLAPPED or SCREWED by the
company.

Management wishes to assure the younger employees who remain on board that
the company will continue its policy to train employees through our Special
High Intensity Training (SHIT). This company takes pride in the amount of
SHIT our employees receive. We have given our employees more SHIT than any
company in this area. If any employee feels they do not receive enough SHIT
on the job, see your immediate supervisor.

Maybe, depends on the finer details of this arrangement!  <grin>

Hi James

Bills would you like to have them Robert. Smile
Christy

Hello guys,
James, how'd you find us? Did you do a search? Just curious. Glad you're here.

This is a really _great list.  It used to be cyberkayne till that disappeared
last week or whenever it was. We have cyberparties every Sat. at 9 p.m. Bring
whatever/whoever.  Christy can tell you some wild stories about the parties (ha
ha).

Hello all you good people out there!

Penny

Your right Rob the list would be the same without you. I'm glad we found you.
Christy

Hey, you got girlfriends, lots of them, ready and willing - Mrs. Palm and her
five daughters.  Right?  <grin>

Do you know an Alan in Denver?  Alan did have a guide dog named Alf.  Dad's a
biker, I think.  Alan either smokes those funny cigs or just acts like it at
times to have fun.  Great guy, that Alan.

Hey, what happened to cybercayne? I noticed that it was gone, and
thought about writing to someone to find out where you were all going,
but just hadn't found time yet.  So when I received Penny's letter, I
hustled over to subscribe.  You all's list just wouldn't be the same
without me the resident Lurker!  haha!
Thanks Penny for inviting me back on board.  Looking forward to hearing
about all of you.
Your bashful friend,
Rob

Good Morning Everyone
I'm glad to see your list is growing. I didn't have the address of everyone on
the list so those of you that have other addresses please let them know that
we are trying to start over. I sure have missed you all. Sorry I missed out on
the snow ball fight last night. I went to sleep early. The stress of the last
few weeks is really wearing me out. One of the last message that I sent which
I'm not sure anyone got was about my trip to Jekyll Island. While I was there
my van caught on fire and it is a total loss. It wasn't even running and no
one was in it. Praise God. We got a ride back with another foster family and
I'm renting a car while dealing with the insurance company. What a mess.

Missed you
Christy

Robert the only why to get kicked off this list is being normal. Normal is
boring. smile
Christy

Well it looks like you are the first to sign on Penny
