ramdac.org is shutting down (April Fools!)
My writing days are over. After much thought on the matter and coming to terms with myself, I’ve decided it’s the best thing to do for my future. I have no time, and no energy anymore to write and was getting tired of the emails….so this is what it has come to.
I thank you all for all for your support over the years and for the many many comments. It has enhanced my life in ways you cannot imagine.
Again, thank you all and God bless.

Come to think of it, I’m a little suspicious of the Pope being on his deathbed………….today.

Well, the pope did “die” a little after noon only to not be dead about ten minutes later.

whats this about the pope dying, and not being dead? I haven’t heard anything.

haha ditto . . . .
I’m one of those people who sits at work all day constantly hitting the refresh button on the news sites . . . . .
Sometime on the afternoon of April 1, the Italian news media reported that the pope had died. Within 10 - 20 minutes, other news sources reported that he was not dead, but was still alive.
Alas, about 24 hours later, the pope actually did die.
Am I the only one that noticed there is something weird about the pope, Terri Schiavo, and Johny Cochran all dying in the same week.
If you ask me, it has the making of a real bad joke:
Johny Cochran, Terri Schiavo, and the Pope all arrive at the pearly gates . . . .
St. Peter asks the Pope why he should be let into heaven:
“Well, I’ve served God all my life. I’m the leader of the world-wide Catholic church, and I have a nice smile.”
“Go right on in,” St. Peter replies.
Next, St. Peter looks at Schiavo and asks the same question.
“Well,” she replies, “I suffered a great deal the last fifteen years of my life while I was mentally brain damaged and hooked up to a feeding tube. Within the last few days of my life, my situation got the attention of the entire nation. Congress and the Judicial system played political games with my life in the balance.”
“Well, indeed you deserve to come in!” exclaimed St. Peter, and Terri walked through the gates.
Finally, St. Peter turned to Johny Cochran and asked him, again, the same question:
Mr. Cochran replied, “Well, I defended the O.J.’s and the No Js. I stood up for human rights and made sure everyone got a fair trial! Even if my clients were guilty, I would find a way to get them off and give them a second chance at life!”
“Well,” said St. Peter, “It seems as you are also worthy of entrance into heaven. Please step through the gate.”
As Mr. Cochran approached the gate, however, he noticed the gate was too small for him to get through.
“St. Peter,” he said, “it looks like I don’t fit through the gate!”
“Well,” said St. Peter in a stern and convincing voice, “if it doesn’t fit, I can’t aquit!”

Josh, that is a cute joke. But thanks for the info. Not all news sorces are always accurate. They can be delayed.
So your a news junky? Well, shouldn’t you be working while your at work? I mean, don’t you have important stuff to do instead of clicking th refresh button? What do you do?

haha, I can’t take full credit for that joke . . . . my office mate made it up as we were checking the news . . .
I work at a regional planning and development commission. We’re kind of like a not-for-profit government support agency type thing. Don’t worry, I do plenty of work while at work, but do have to take time to download alot of field survey data to my computer. So while I’m waiting for that to happen, I check the news.

Well, I really wasn’t trying to patronize you… I realize that you do work and that waiting time does take a while. Okay, so you told me what you do, but not really what you do, titles don’t explain anything…!

Well, I’ll say that your friend is the funny one then, but you delivered it just as good.
