Source: Molly's Quotes of the Day, mailto:molly.rhea@gmail.com?subject=Subscribe_Quotes_of_the_Day ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: I once heard a conversation between a church-member and an infidel. After arguments had been urged at some length on both sides, the infidel observed to his friend that they might as well drop the subject of conversation; “for,” said he, “I do not believe a single word you say, and, more than this, I am satisfied that you do not really believe it yourself; for to my certain knowledge, you have not given for the last twenty years as much for the spread of Christianity—such as the building of churches, foreign and domestic missions—as your last Durham cow cost. Why, sir, if I believed the one-half what you say you believe, I would make the church my rule for giving, and my farm the exception.” Source: Signs of the Times, Copyright (c) February 10, 1898, Pacific Press, http://www.signstimes.com ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: Pet Pet-Peeves Dog: "They keep putting the lid down on the big water bowl." Goldfish: "Just because I have a three-second memory, they don't think I'll mind eating the same fish flakes ... Oh boy! Fish flakes!" Cat: "Sharpen claws on one stinking curtain and it's curtains." Parrot: "Tease, tease, tease -- but do those greedy humans ever really give me a cracker?" Cat: "Why are these people in my house?" Dog: "What the ... HEY!!! I didn't even sign a consent form for that surgery. Help, Legal Council!!!!" Goldfish: "Oh, tap-tap-tap! ‘There's’ a new one!"

One day I was walking down a hallway with an attorney, engrossed in a discussion on a point of law. When he opened a door and walked through, I followed, preoccupied with the matter we had been debating. Suddenly, he stopped. "Can I ask you something?" he asked. "Sure," I replied. "Do you really think you should be in the men's washroom?" Submitted by Lorraine ~~~~~~~ TRIVIA: Is There A Ski Resort In Arizona? Snow isn't what usually comes to mind when envisioning Arizona's Old West and desert country in southern Arizona. Despite its extreme southern locale, Mount Lemmon Ski Valley can offer some of the best skiing in the state. The ski area averages an annual snowfall of 175 inches. Tucked into the Santa Catalina Mountains, Mount Lemmon's scenic ski area has the distinction of being the southernmost ski resort in the continental United States.
