wanna feel smart?

DIM BULBS OF THE MILLENNIUM Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever. -- Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff. -- Mariah Carey I haven't committed a crime. What I did was fail to comply with the law. -- David Dinkins, New York City Mayor, answering accusations that he failed to pay his taxes. Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life. -- Brooke Shields, during an interview to become spokesperson for a federal anti smoking campaign. I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body. --Winston Bennett, University of Kentucky basketball forward Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country. -- Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, DC We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees. -- Jason Kidd, upon his drafting to the Dallas Mavericks It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it. -- Former US Vice-president Dan Quayle (Right on, Danny!!!) I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix. -- Former US Vice-president Dan Quayle (You da man, Danny!) It's no exaggeration to say that the undecided could go one way or another. (3rd Favorite) --George Bush, US President I have opinions of my own -strong opinions- but I don't always agree with them. --George Bush, US President We've got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need? --Lee Iacocca The word genius isn't applicable in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein. --Joe Theisman, NFL football quarterback and sports analyst We don't necessarily discriminate. We simply exclude certain types of people. --Colonel Gerald Wellman, ROTC Instructor. If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. --Dan Quayle We are ready for an unforeseen event that may or may not occur. --Dan Quayle Traditionally, most of Australia's imports come from overseas. --Keppel Enderbery The loss of life will be irreplaceable. --Dan Quayle I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have is that I didn't study my Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people. --Dan Quayle What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is. --Dan Quayle It is wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago... --Dan Quayle(He seems to outdo himself) Your food stamps will be stopped effective March 1992 because we received notice that you passed away. May God bless you. You may reapply if there is a change in your circumstances. --Department of Social Services, Greenville, South Carolina If somebody has a bad heart, they can plug this jack in at night as they go to bed and it will monitor their heart throughout the night. And the next morning, when they wake up dead, there'll be a record. --Mark S. Fowler, FCC Chairman

Off topic! - horse loving dog needs home
This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, This is definitely off topic - but thought there might be a match on the list. I received a call from a friend of an old friend the other evening. The call was from a San Francisco lawyer who, whenever he has a mid-life crisis (he has had more than one) does things like go to work for the Humane Society - or teach in a school for troubled adolescents. Well - in one of those forays of teaching, he met a young teacher and her dog. They (the teacher and dog) were teaching at a school where dogs and horses are used as surrogate counselors. This young teacher arrived with her dog and was able to take him to work every day, where he went on long horseback rides with the kids etc. The dog did great with the kids and horses. For some reason, however, this idyllic job did not last. Now the teacher is commuting from Marin County into San Francisco to teach at a private school there. The dog has gone to school there, and does fine, but the school policy doesn't really allow for this on a full time basis. In the meantime, Plato is having to stay home alone in a condo all day - with predictable consequences. He has started to get anxious, and chew his surroundings. Currently, the teacher, in desperation, is taking him to work and leaving him in her car. This is untenable, and, as soon as the weather warms up - will be downright dangerous. She is desperate for a nice home for him. I have some pictures of him. He looks like a yellow Labrador Retriever - except that his coat coloring looks like there is a hound in there somewhere - maybe Beagle. Size is smallish yellow lab. I have some pictures I am preparing to scan. The other thing about him is that he was hit by a car last September - and has several pins in his leg - though seems to be fully recovered. I have not met him, but from the sounds of things, would take him if my SO were not adamantly opposed to having dogs in the house. He really needs a stay at home Mom - or a set up where he does not have to be locked up alone in a house. I know there are ways to retrain him out of the anxiety attacks - but that still does not solve the problem that his general life situation us untenable. The note I have from his owner (along with the pictures) states: Thank you for thinking of Plato - he is one of those most wonderful creatures - my nickname for him is 'Joyful Life' - but our situation isn't working out, his mine. If interested - write and I will e-mail photos. He is in California - but I happen to be making trips to the Pacific Northwest in the next couple of months.

Dora
This message is from: Skjenna, Laura: #CIO - BPI [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi. Thanks to Lori for putting Dora's photo on your page. Thanks also to Mike for posting her pedigree. However, she was NOT foaled in 1901 - gosh that would surely make her the oldest horse alive! I've filled in some of the other unknowns too. She was imported from Germany as a two year old by Helena Klement of Alberta. She's had 8 babies so far, and is in foal to Felix with her 9th. I've had her since April 1997. She is a great riding horse. She's very calm and good natured. It takes quite a bit to get her excited! I haven't seen any of her babies so am anxious to see the Felix baby. I find her a bit short in the neck, and she toes in the tiniest amount, you can only see it when she's tired.

RE: Re: Foetal Movement
This message is from: Mary Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've been singing into mom's belly. Okay, it's a strange way of doing things, but it DOES work, I feel the babies move and they get used to the sound of my voice. I've done this with two foals now, and it does work, they do respond to singing. I put my belly up to the mares when I do it, must be a funny sight, but you can feel much more with your belly than your hands. Of course, this was with quarter horses, it might be a little more difficult with a small fjord. :) Mary --- FREE!

I personally think that a good name for a colt is VARG, which means wolf in the Scandinavian languages. Another one is VESTLAND - the part of Norway where the cradle of the Fjordhorse stood. In the old days, I think that the name Vestlandshest was used more than Fjordhest. VIKING is another suggestion, but perhaps it has been used a lot? I'll think about filly-names.
