GIRLFRIENDS
A group of 15 year old girlfriends discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they should meet at the Dairy Queen next to the Ocean View restaurant because they only had $6.00 between them and Jimmy Johnson, that cute boy in Social Studies, lives on that street and they might see him and they can ride their bikes there.
10 years later, the group of 25 year old girlfriends discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the food was continental, the band was good, there was no cover and there were lots of cute guys.
10 years later, at 35 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the menu was varied, it was right near the gym and if they go late enough, there wouldn't be too many whiny little kids.
10 years later, at 45 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because there was free bread and the waiters there were handsome.
10 years later, at 55 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the food there was reasonable, they had windows that open in case of a hot flash, and fish is good for your cholesterol.
10 years later, at 65 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because lighting was good and they have an early bird special.
10 years later, at 75 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because food was not too spicy, the restaurant was handicapped accessible and they even had an elevator!
10 years later, at 85 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they had never been there before.

Lyle,
We are anxious to learn about Martha, but your joke reminds me of a favorite story from our friend Emma Mills Clark of New Boston, Ohio.
A lot of the steel mill workers in NB were LEGAL immigrants from many ethnic groups. An older gentleman visited Dr. Mills, Emma's dad, and asked for help. Doc saw that the fellow was constipated and gave him a mild laxative and told him to try and return if he had problems. In a couple of days the Italian gentleman with little knowledge of English returned and Doc learned that he still had problems. Doc increased the medicinal strength and gave the man the same instructions. The fellow returned again and Doc said: Gosh man, haven't you shit yet?
"Shitta!, Shitta!, Shitta!, thas all I been a'doin'!"

Subject: READ THIS AND TRY TO HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Subject: Three great waves .... A must read, this is not bashing, it's the truth.
In just six months, on January 1, 2011, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect.
They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves.
On January 1, 2011, here’s what happens... (read it to the end, so you see all three waves)...
First Wave:
Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief
In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families.
These will all expire on January 1, 2011.
Personal income tax rates will rise.
The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed).
The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent.
All the rates in between will also rise.
Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates.
The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:
* The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15%
*
* The 25% bracket rises to 28%
*
* The 28% bracket rises to 31%
*
* The 33% bracket rises to 36%
*
* The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%
Higher taxes on marriage and family.
The "marriage penalty" (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income.
The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child.
The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level.
The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.
The return of the Death Tax.
This year only, there is no death tax. (It’s a quirk!) For those dying on or after January 1, 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes, a business, a retirement account, could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved ones. Think of the farmers who don’t make much money, but their land, which they purchased years ago with after-tax dollars, is now worth a lot of money. Their children will have to sell the farm, which may be their livelihood, just to pay the estate tax if they don’t have the cash sitting around to pay the tax. Think about your own family’s assets. Maybe your family owns real estate, or a business that doesn’t make much money, but the building and equipment are worth $1 million. Upon their death, you can inherit the $1 million business tax free, but if they own a home, stock, cash worth $500K on top of the $1 million business, then you will owe the government $275,000 cash! That’s 55% of the value of the assets over $1 million! Do you have that kind of cash sitting around waiting to pay the estate tax?
Higher tax rates on savers and investors.
The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011.
The dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011.
These rates will rise another 3.8 percent in 2013.
Second Wave:
Obamacare
There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include:
The "Medicine Cabinet Tax"
Thanks to Obamacare, Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).
The "Special Needs Kids Tax"
This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children.
There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States , and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education.
Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington , D.C. ( National Child Research Center ) can easily exceed $14,000 per year.
Under tax rules, FSA dollars can not be used to pay for this type of special needs education.
The HSA (Health Savings Account) Withdrawal Tax Hike.
This provision of Obamacare increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
Third Wave:
The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and Employer Tax Hikes
When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they'll be in for a nasty surprise-the AMT won't be held harmless, and many tax relief provisions will have expired.
The major items include:
The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last year.
According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center , Congress' failure to index the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families-rising from 4 million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was created in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.
Small business expensing will be slashed and 50% expensing will disappear.
Small businesses can normally expense (rather than slowly-deduct, or "depreciate") equipment purchases up to $250,000.
This will be cut all the way down to $25,000. Larger businesses can currently expense half of their purchases of equipment.
In January of 2011, all of it will have to be "depreciated."
Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses.
There are literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place. The biggest is the loss of the "research and experimentation tax credit," but there are many, many others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs.
Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced.
The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available.
Tax credits for education will be limited.
Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses.
Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut.
Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed.
The student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families.
Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed.
Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from their IRA.
This contribution also counts toward an annual "required minimum distribution." This ability will no longer be there.

And worse yet?
Now, your insurance will be INCOME on your W2's!
One of the surprises we'll find come next year, is what follows - - a little "surprise" that 99% of us had no idea was included in the "new and improved" healthcare legislation . . . the dupes, er, dopes, who backed this administration will be astonished!
Starting in 2011, (next year folks), your W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are given by the company. It does not matter if that's a private concern or governmental body of some sort.
If you're retired? So what... your gross will go up by the amount of insurance you get.
You will be required to pay taxes on a large sum of money that you have never seen. Take your tax form you just finished and see what $15,000 or $20,000 additional gross does to your tax debt. That's what you'll pay next year.
For many, it also puts you into a new higher bracket so it's even worse.
This is how the government is going to buy insurance for the15% that don't have insurance and it's only part of the tax increases.
Not believing this??? Here is a research of the summaries.....
On page 25 of 29: TITLE IX REVENUE PROVISIONS- SUBTITLE A: REVENUE OFFSET PROVISIONS-(sec. 9001, as modified by sec. 10901) Sec.9002 "requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee the aggregate cost of applicable employer sponsored group health coverage that is excludable from the employees gross income"
- Joan Pryde is the senior tax editor for the Kiplinger letters. - Go to Kiplingers and read about 13 tax changes that could affect you. Number 3 is what is above.
Why am I sending you this? The same reason I hope you forward this to every single person in your address book.
People have the right to know the truth because an election is coming in November!

Sam, Mrs Walker always called her son Paul Jr.( to us, I don't know if she did it all the time) I never knew him but he and Fout communicated. He got a law degree and was practicing law the last I heard of him..
We had a real blood letting when we played Middletown up there. Both teams undefeated. They were a good bit bigger than we were and it ended zip to zip. The only time they got inside our 20, they had 1st and goal on the five. took three shots up the middle and a pass. Nada. We always thought we beat 'em. Lemon Elliot fumbled in the end zone, they recovered and brought the ball out to the twenty. He was in the endzone with the ball in his possession, but the score didn't say that. Five of us went up there during basketball season for our game with them( our team was beaten in a laugher.) Just about all their footbal guys were there and they treated us like we were long lost relatives.Never met a nicer bunch. Doc played with one of the guards at the U. of Cinn. The next night we went to Springfield. Lost that basketball game too. Didn't see any of their football team, We beat them 27 to 0. Up there. Red Griffin and Howard Pollitt were with Doc, Jim and I.
That is true, Jack. I admire your loyalty to Doc right through the end of his time on earth.
You Mabert Roaders and Vinton Avenue friends were tight along with your buddy, Jim Fout.
It was an extreme pleasure for me to interview you three and all of the outstanding athletes in the Portsmouth area that I did for the excellence book of mine.
I wonder if Paul Walker's son ever proceeded to write an Excellence book on the Middletown area. He called and talked with me about it a couple of years ago, if you remember. Middletown and each of the Greater Ohio League schools had rich histories in athletics. Gosh, it seemed like the NFL or NBA when those GOL teams got together on Friday nights.
We went with my son and granddaughter to New Philadelphia Ohio and he asked me if Gib Lakeman was really a legend in Portsmouth athletics. Jay played basketball with Gib's son,Richard, who has been so good in helping me. I told Jay he certainly was along with you three guys, Don Monk, Dave Thomas, Calvin and LLoyd Flamer, Larry Hisle, Al Olliver and so many others far too numerous to mention. It was an extension of the old Portsmouth Steel Shoes or the Portsmouth Spartans. I had not played sports until the sixth grade at Highland school when I must have been 11 and our blue collar family knew nothing of the sports history. It was about then (1943 and the midst of WW II) that I made my way up McConnell to the park anbd became a full fledged Mound Park Urchin.

Lemon Elliot fumbled in the end zone, they recovered and brought the ball out to the twenty. He was in the endzone with the ball in his possession, but the score didn't say that. Five of us went up there during basketball season for our game with them( our team was beaten in a laugher.) Just about all their footbal guys were there and they treated us like we were long lost relatives.Never met a nicer bunch. Doc played with one of the guards at the U. of Cinn. The next night we went to Springfield. Lost that basketball game too. Didn't see any of their football team, We beat them 27 to 0. Up there. Red Griffin and Howard Pollitt were with Doc, Jim and I.
That is true, Jack. I admire your loyalty to Doc right through the end of his time on earth.
You Mabert Roaders and Vinton Avenue friends were tight along with your buddy, Jim Fout.
It was an extreme pleasure for me to interview you three and all of the outstanding athletes in the Portsmouth area that I did for the excellence book of mine.
I wonder if Paul Walker's son ever proceeded to write an Excellence book on the Middletown area. He called and talked with me about it a couple of years ago, if you remember. Middletown and each of the Greater Ohio League schools had rich histories in athletics. Gosh, it seemed like the NFL or NBA when those GOL teams got together on Friday nights.
We went with my son and granddaughter to New Philadelphia Ohio and he asked me if Gib Lakeman was really a legend in Portsmouth athletics. Jay played basketball with Gib's son,Richard, who has been so good in helping me. I told Jay he certainly was along with you three guys, Don Monk, Dave Thomas, Calvin and LLoyd Flamer, Larry Hisle, Al Olliver and so many others far too numerous to mention. It was an extension of the old Portsmouth Steel Shoes or the Portsmouth Spartans. I had not played sports until the sixth grade at Highland school when I must have been 11 and our blue collar family knew nothing of the sports history. It was about then (1943 and the midst of WW II) that I made my way up McConnell to the park anbd became a full fledged Mound Park Urchin.

Sam, the term Blue-blood may have originated in Lexington. There are damned few things I find more praise worthy than loyalty or more rewarding for that matter. Jack P.

Perhaps so, friend, but that has been Kentucky basketball forever and I, personally, love it.
I will admit that I lose all interest in the young potential Kentucky players if they don't become Kentucky Wildcats.
When in- I really love it! If they are going someplace else, I try to ignore them. Yes- I may be slightly prejudiced, but wait, UK fans are never slightly prejudiced. We are merely royal blue with UK!

Sam things have gotten way out of balance when a high school boy announcing where is going to college becomes a media event.
