Grammy97 sent us this joke:
At a local winery, the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire. A drunk with a ragged dirty look came to apply for the position.
The director of the factory wondered how to send him away. They gave him a glass to drink. The old guy tried it and said, "It's a muscat three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers. Low grade but acceptable."
"That's correct!" said the boss. "Another glass, please."
The man said, "It's a cabernet, eight years old, south-western slope, oak barrels, matured at eight degrees. Requires three more years for finest results."
"Absolutely correct!" said the boss again. "A third glass, please."
"It's a pinot blanc champagne, high grade and exclusive," calmly said the drunk.
The director was astonished, so winked at his secretary, to suggest something. She left the room and came back in with a glass of urine.
The alcoholic tried it. "It's a blonde, 26 years old, three months pregnant... and if I don't get the job, I'll name the father."
Thank you, Grammy

Fragile children need some help.
An old friend sent me the following email. I'm sure you will remember her and will not hesitate to help.
Hi Regina!
I hope you remember me. I have been lurking on your new site, and I really like it. I am sending emails to all of my friends and contacts. We need your help.
The State of Illinois is trying to take away medical coverage for children with complex medical issues, like my Christopher. We have a waiver, and the program is limited to about 500 children at any one time. The State is broke, and they believe one of the ways to balance the budget is to cut off populations that they believe will not fight back.
We are asking for help, no matter your location, in fighting back. We have started a petition online and are asking that folks sign and then blog, tweet, facebook whatever to get more folks there. If you are resident of Illinois, we are asking that you also email, call or write your State Senators and Representatives. Our children's lives literally hang in the balance.
If I were forced to hospitalize or admit Christopher to a nursing home, not only would it cost about 8 times what this program does, he would most likely be dead in 3 to 6 months. He has no immune system. There are 500 children in the same situation.
I am posting a link to my blog. There is a widget at the top of the page to go sign the petition. I hope you can use your blog and/or contacts to help us out.
Keep up the great work on your blog! : ) Hugs!!!
