I am happy for the more than 19,000 hits on my SamKat blog since its inception in the second half of 2008. I realize that those hits are miniscule vs. even the lowest circulated weekly newspapers and so many other blogs. Nonetheless I am so thankful for the many excellent forwarded emails from so many good friends of mine who receive them from their good friends and sources.
Thanks again and enjoy these numbers for Daily newspapers:

A follow-up to Ramey's Splinter removal- SamKat
I consider my sisters, Sharon and Sandy and Jeanie and I very lucky to get off an Everglades swamp boat alive. It became a thrill ride to me because I imagined being impaled by the jagged water-outcropped growth of one to four inch diameter branches, many pointing in the oposite direction of our speeding boat. I hope they monitor the drinking conditions of the drivers. Ours had to be sober. I'll tell you, I was!

Sam
Splinter removal ... Thanks Ramey Hoskins!
OUCH how bad can a splinter hurt ?
Makes you think twice about speed on the water!!!!
Now This Is A Splinter!
Read the story on this before you think much about it.
* DON'T DRIVE THAT
FISHING BOAT TOO FAST!
* So you thought YOU had
a bad day at the office !
* OK, all you medics... Top this one!
This is an actual emergency room photo of a fisherman
who lost control of his High Speed Bass Boat in West Virginia.
The warden's believe that he was traveling at a speed of approximately
75 mph at the time of the accident.
He was unable to negotiate a curve in the narrow waterway and
unfortunately for him, upon striking the shoreline, he was ejected from the
boat and landed on an old fence post.
You can probably picture what happened next,
but this photograph really says it all.
The good news is after about 6 months,
this man made a full recovery after
suffering a shattered hip, broken leg,
several broken ribs, internal injuries and soft tissue damage.
The doctors credited his recovery to the fact that the post
lodged itself so tightly that there was little or no blood loss.
Now, that's got to hurt!

Senior Health ... Thanks Bob Looney!
Senior Health ... thanks friend Bob Looney! I know some sharp seniors who may have even considered this.

So you're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing
home available for you, what do you do?
Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed
to shoot four Congressmen.
Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get three
meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning and
all the health care you need! Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses?
That's great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They're all
covered. And, as an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you as often
as they do now.
And who will be paying for all of this? It's the same government that just
told you that you they cannot afford for you to go into a home.
Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes
anymore.
Is this a great country or what?

Slow Dance Thanks Bob Looney!
I believe I saw this a couple of years ago, Bob. The count is probably much much higher by now. Nonetheless, it is excellent! Whether written by a teenager or a six year old, the thought is tremendous for each of us throughout this life on earth. Might we become that butterfly? Thanks good friend!

Slow
Dance
This
is a poem
written by a teenager with cancer.
She wants to
see how many
people get her poem.
It is quite the poem
Please pass it
on.
This
poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a
New York
Hospital.
It was sent
by
a medical doctor -
Make sure to read what is in the closing statement
AFTER THE
POEM.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever
watched
kids
on a merry go round
Or listened to
the
rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the
fading
night?
You better slow down.
Don't
dance so
fast.
Time is short.
The music
won't
last.
Do you run through each day
On
the
fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear
the
reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie
in your
bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through
your head?
You'd better
slow down
Don't dance so
fast.
Time is
short.
The music won't
last.
Ever told your
child,
We'll do it
tomorrow?
And in your
haste,
Not see
his
sorrow?
Ever lost
touch,
Let a good
friendship die
Cause you
never had time
To call
and say,'Hi'
You'd
better slow down.
Don't dance
so fast.
Time
is short.
The music won't
last..
When you run
so fast to get somewhere
You
miss half the fun of getting
there.
When you worry and hurry
through your
day,
It is like an unopened
gift....
Thrown
away.
Life is not a
race.
Do take it
slower
Hear the
music
Before the song is
over.
FOR WARD ED
E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL
COUNT.
Dear All:
PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know -
even to those you don't
know! It is the request of a special girl who will
soon
leave this world
due to cancer.
This young girl has 6 months left
to live,
and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter
telling everyone to
live their life to the fullest, since she never will.
She'll
never make it to prom, graduate from high school,
or get married and have a
family of her own.
By you sending
this to as many people as
possible, you can give her and her family a
little hope, because with every name
that this is sent to, The American
Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name
to her treatment and recovery
plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know
that we can at least send
it to 5 or 6. It's
not even your money, just
your
time!
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.
