Something to Think About:

     The bathtub was invented in 1850.
     The telephone was invented in 1875.
     This might not seem like much but, if you had lived 
       back then, you could have sat in the bathtub for 25 
       years without being bothered by the phone.

A.A.A.D.D. 

Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D.  - - -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. 

This is how it manifests: 

I decide to wash my car. As I start toward the garage, I notice 
that there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the 
mail before I wash the car. 

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the 
trash can under the table, and notice that the trash can is full. 
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the 
trash first. 

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I 
take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take 
my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check 
left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go to my 
desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. 

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke 
aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke 
is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to 
keep it cold. 

As I head toward the kitchen with the coke a vase of flowers on 
the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered. I set the 
Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that 
I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back 
on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. 

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with 
water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the 
kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will 
be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the 
kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, 
but first I'll water the flowers. 

I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor. 
So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and 
wipe up the spill. Then I head down the hall trying to remember 
what I was planning to do. 

At the end of the day: the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, 
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers 
aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I 
can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't 
remember what I did with the car keys. 

Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm 
really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm 
really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get 
some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail. 

Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you 
know, because I don't remember to whom it has been sent. 
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming! 

Growing Older is Mandatory,
Growing Up is Optional.
Laughing at Yourself is Therapeutic!

><>(o:} What is Blessed to Bless? {:o)<>< 

Blessed to Bless! is published on a "round-2-it" basis. Most weeks, 
you will receive at least one issue. Some weeks, you may receive two 
or three. Once in a while, you may not receive an issue for a week or 
two. So, whenever I get a "round-to-it," you can expect to hear, 
"You've got mail," Yahoo," or whatever happens on your PC. 

Blessed to Bless! contains an article that I have written using simple 
everyday events to illustrate qualities and ideals sought after by 
many in the world today. Also included are writings from other 
sources that I have come across (usually by e-mail or a book I am 
reading). I try not to send everything that comes along; but I do 
send those that I think would be a blessing to you - - - or at least 
make you think for a moment and/or bring a smile to your face for 
just a little while.  

CAUTION: Please do not drink while reading the humorous stories. 
Doing so has caused many to snort Diet Pepsi out their noses. 

NOTE: Corrections to spelling and grammar are NOT made to the 
articles in the "Writings by Others" sections.

To learn more about the meaning of Blessed to Bless! go to
http://www.blessed2bless.us/meaning.html

Please note that Blessed to Bless! is plain text e-mail with no 
attachments. It is therefore totally safe from a virus point of view. 
Be aware that the latest ludicrous viruses send out email from 
people's email programs, pretending to be from someone else within 
their address book. As my address becomes better known, it is just 
possible that you could receive such bogus e-mails - 
they are not from me!

If known, the original source of material used in Blessed to Bless! 
will be cited, or at least the source where I obtained the material 
will be cited with a credit at the end of each item. If the material 
was obtained from an e-mail newsletter, subscription information 
to that newsletter will also be included. This will be done as a 
matter of Christian integrity to give credit where credit is due.

><>(o:} What is the Deal with those Ads? {:o)<>< 

You will see ads in Blessed to Bless! These advertisers keep the 
newsletter FREE by paying for ad space. My host, Mike Hodapp 
(Tigger at http://www.hundred-acre-woods.com), uses the proceeds 
to pay the basic expenses of his Internet service as a web site host 
server as well as sending a portion each month to feed starving 
orphans in third world countries. The advertisers pay by the 
number of clicks on the ads, NOT by the number of sales.

To subscribe to Blessed to Bless! go to

If you really have to leave, you can unsubscribe using the same link.

Blessed to Bless! and several other newsletters are distributed by 
hundred-acre-woods.com. Names are not purchased or added to our 
lists without permission. If you did not subscribe yourself, then 
someone you know probably added your name to our list(s). 
Or someone else may have forwarded it to you.

If you are changing your e-mail address, please advise me of both 
your old and new address. I will happily change my records to 
ensure ongoing delivery. You may do this yourself by unsubscribing 
your old address and subscribing your new address using the 
subscription link above.

Once in a while, addresses may be deleted by mistake. This usually 
happens if e-mail is sent to an address several times and it is 
returned as undeliverable. This can be caused because an address 
has been discontinued or even because the mail quota has been 
exceeded. If you feel that your address has been deleted, go to 
the subscription link above and subscribe again. A message will let 
you know if you are still on the list. If not, you will be added.

Attention AOL users: Occasionally we see an uncommonly high 
number of bounces from AOL subscribers. Should you notice our 
newsletter(s) not getting through to you via AOL, we recommend 
you subscribe under a non-AOL email address. There are many 
free email providers available. Sorry, but this is an AOL issue that 
we have no control over.

Recently, I began sending the newsletter in HTML format (looks

anything. You will automatically be subscribed to the HTML list.

need to do two things: 
     First, go to the following link to unsubscribe from the HTML
     version. You will need to enter your e-mail address (name 
     is optional), click "Unsubscribe," and then "Submit."
