Does prayer work? This story will amaze you

Al was teenage boy who mostly had a female side. One day instead of going to church Al went to the movies instead. The movie was starring two famous men named Bert and Tom not only that the theater itself was filled with wall to wall girls.

When Al was watching the movie he heard one girl behind him whispering to another girl that Bert and Tom are really very good looking studs.

So when the movie was over and when Al got home he prayed every night to become a stud. In one of his Bible studies he learned you have to keep praying until you see an inner cloud.

One day he felt his inner cloud coming out of back of his head  and moving forward in front of his eyes .He watched the small cloud while it was floating out of the window."Great" said Al "God is going to answer my prayer"

But Al knew according to his Bible studies that God usually doesn't answer prayers right away. In his Bible studies the usual answer to prayer is to wait.

So Al waited days and days until one day  he did indeed became  a stud because on that day Al became a cog on a wagon wheel also  known as a stud.

                                  THE END--lol

 Being a little rock and rock and a little country is okay but we must not forget there are a lot of different genres of music out there. so let's broaden our horizons : ) .Below are two songs titled "Sugar Sugar" the first one is a rock and roll version the other reggae and each song has different lyrics.

Oh yes, Sabrina the teenage witch is a comic book character in the Archie comic book series which later became a tv series on ABC starring Melissa Joan Hart  somewhere around the 1990's.

Calendars and Time

You may be wondering why Chrismas and New Years always fall on the same day of the week, even tough it is on a different week.It's very simple really because they are always 7 days apart. 

If we take February the 1st which this year began on Sunday and add 7 then next Sunday will be the 8th which is today. Adding 7 again we get 15 which will be the date for next Sunday and so on.By the way, when the 1st of  any month begins on a Sunday there will always  be a Friday the 13th.

The earth of course completes its orbit around the sun in 365 1/4 days. That 1/4 is why we have leap year to make up the difference.To figure if any year is a leap year simply divide the year by 4 if there is any remainer then the year is not a leap year.Let's take the year 2016 and divide that by 4 we get an answer of 504 and no remainer. So 2016 will be a leap year.

Now let's talk about the time on a clock : Suppose you're in the Navy boot camp and they call "Taps" (sleep time) and you go to bed at 9:30 PM and are awaken at 4:30 AM how many hours is that?

In the example above you can do this math in your head. First add 12 to the AM hour (4:30 + 12 = 16:30) then subtract the PM hour (16:30 - 9:30 = 7 hours). Odd ball hours like 9:15 PM to 9:20 AM will be  a little more difficult to do in one's head.

Did you know long time ago February always had 29 days and August always had 30 days ? Augustus Caesar had notice that his brother's month July had 31 days while his month of August only had 30 days. So Augustus took one day off  of  February and  then added to his month of August, so that both July and August  will now have  31 days.The month of July was named after Julius Caesar and the month of August was named after Augustus Caesar.

 AM means before the middle of the day. (mornings before noon)
 PM means after the middle of the day (after noon)

One final fact: In Julius Caesar's army every man had to know how to play chess.

My Good Deeds

These  good deeds I have done in various times but they are all absolutely true even though I cannot remember the order I did them so the deeds will be all random.

One deed I did was for an old lady who wanted a phone  jack and line in her bedroom.(This was before cellphones) and the phone company said they do it for a $100.So I did it instead.She said she'll pay for the phone line and jack which I got at Rural King  at that time was $15. I did not charge her for labor except maybe two cups of coffee and that was it.There was nothing to it just match the wire colors.

Another deed was when I help neighbors with their computer problems they were afraid I might charge them but I didn't except again for a cup of coffee  or two ,and to my surprise one of them invited me to a  fried chicken dinner with her family and the other one to a lasagna dinner at a different time with her boyfriend just to say thank you.Had fun at both events.They didn't have to.

Now one other person had a FBI virus on her computer with a fake FBI message saying that they'll let her in after she pays the $300 fine. I told her not to pay it. It is a scam and It took 1/2 day to get rid of that virus and I also told them to keep their computers updated or it might show up again.(Antivirus, firewall and windows update) and a spyware scanner unless it is built in the antivirus.After I updated and ran the antivirus and antispyware I ran windows update that took about 4 hours to enter them all but the computer works fine now even to this day and that person was able to keep her $300.Yeah, I was sipping coffee while I was working on their computer :)

On one hot sticky summer day I visited a neighbor that used to lived behind me she had no air conditioner but she had about ten fans going  and she also had small kids ,since my new place had central air I gave them  my old window air conditioner .

My greedy brother wanted me to charge her husband for using the window air conditioner I told him I am not like that. My brother even had a book called "Borrowed Your Way To A Big Fortune" Of course the only people who made money were the people selling that book.

Anyway, on one of my bicycle trips about four miles out of town my bicycle tire blew, but as luck would have it the people  which I have given the window air conditioner drove  up and offered me a ride back home which I took. Now if I charge them for using the window air conditioner would they still offer me a ride?
