The following information is true!!!! When a friend sent it to me, I checked it out. Although my phone number and all three of my children came up blank , my parents and three sisters all came up with phone numbers and addresses and maps Carol Go to www.google.com <http://www.google.com> then type in your phone number (separated by hyphens, including area code) and click on Google Search. If your phone number is listed it will show your name and address and give you two map options. Yahoo and MapQuest. See how accurate the map is to your home. VERY SCARY!!! It only shows street addresses however, not route addresses for those living out of town Any person wishing to discover the physical location of a phone number, be it a home or business address, could use this feature to locate a physical street address, and receive directions on how to get there from anywhere in the country. In the age of the internet communication we all know the dangers of this - for adults and CHILDREN! Google has made available an option that will allow anyone to REMOVE their telephone number from the database that is linked to the mapping feature. You will first need to check if your number is listed in this manner by attempting a search-entering your full telephone number separated by dashes (e.g. 555-555-5555). If the number appears in the mapping database, an icon resembling a telephone will appear next to the first or second entry on the results page. Clicking on this icon will take you to a page containing a description of the service, and a link to request your number be removed from the database. So far unlisted numbers and cell phone numbers, do not show up. The END ************************* LB 59

"What do you have?" the receptionist asked the man in the doctor's waiting room. "Shingles", he said. She gave him a medical record form to fill out. Later a nurse asked him, "What do you have?" "Shingles", he replied. She asked him to go to an examing room, undress and put on a gown. At last the doctor appeared and asked, "What do you have?" "Shingles." "Where do you have them?" "Out in the truck. Where do you want me to put them?"
They call my President a "cowboy." It used to tick me off when the Muslim detractors in the Middle East, or the socialist detractors in Europe, Hollywood and others called our President a cowboy. But the more I think about it, the more glad I am that he is. When I was a kid, cowboys were our heroes. Well, I mean the ones in the white hats, not the black hats. There was Hopalong Cassidy, Red Ryder, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, then later Marshall Matt Dillon and others. Personally, I think Roy Rogers could beat 'em all up, and then sing a song afterward to his girlfriend (or his horse Trigger). He was my favorite. What were common attributes of these legendary cowboys? Here are a few: 1. They were never looking for trouble. 2. But when it came, they faced it with courage. 3. They were always on the side of right. 4. They defended good people against bad people. 5. They had high morals. 6. They had good manners. 7. They were honest. 8. They spoke their minds and they spoke the truth, regardless of what people thought or "political correctness," which no one had ever heard of back then. 9. They were a beacon of integrity in the wild, wild West. 10. They were respected. When they walked into a saloon (they only drank sarsaparilla), the place became quiet, and the bad guys kept their distance. 11. If they got in a gunfight, they made sure they could outdraw anyone because they did what it took to prepare for the worst. If in a fist-fight, they could beat up anyone. 12. They always won. They always got their man. In victory, they didn't stay around to take the credit and have the town give them a parade, they rode off into the sunset. Those were the days when there was such a thing as right and wrong, something blurred in our modern world, and denied by many. Those were the days when women were respected and treated as ladies, because they acted like ladies. Now as a mature adult, I still like cowboys. They represent something good -- something pure that America has been missing. Ronald Reagan was a cowboy. I like Ronald Reagan, who was brave, positive and who gave us hope. He wore a white hat. To the consternation of his liberal critics, he had the courage to call a spade a spade and call the former Soviet Union what it was -- the evil empire. Liberals hated Ronald Reagan. They also hate President Bush because he distinguishes between good and evil. He calls a spade and spade, and after 9/11 called evil "evil," without mincing any words, to the shock of the liberal establishment. That's what cowboys do, you know. President Bush also told the French to "put their cards on the table" (old West talk), which they did, exposing their cowardice and greed. The Arabs are wrong. In the old West, might did not make right. Right made right! Cowboys in white hats were always on the side of right, and that was their might. I am glad my President is a cowboy. He will get his man. Cowboys do, you know! >> The END ************************* LB 59
