It is near the Christmas break of the school year.
The students have turned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do.
All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early dismissal. Teacher: "Whoever answers the questions I ask, first andcorrectly canleave early today.
"Little Johnny says to himself "Good, I want to get outta here.
I'm smart and will answer the question."Teacher: "Who said 'Four Score and Seven Years Ago'?"Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, "Abraham Lincoln."Teacher: "That's right Susie, you can go home."
Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first. Teacher: "Who said 'I Have a Dream'?"Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says, "Martin LutherKing."Teacher: "That's right Mary, you can go."
Johnny is even madder than before. Teacher: "Who said 'Ask not, what your country can do for you'?"Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says, "John F. Kennedy."Teacher: "That's right Nancy, you may also leave."
Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer to any of the questions. When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, "I wish these bitches would keep their mouths shut!"The teacher turns around: "NOW WHO SAID THAT?"Johnny: "TIGER WOODS. CAN I GO NOW?"

The Girl Goes Home...
Mackenzie will be getting on a plane today to fly home for three weeks. I am excited because she will be going to the home they just bought and hopefully will get to live in a long time.
Mackenzie has to go to school today. She has one final test to take. I will pick her up at school at 11:50, that is when she starts noon recess and we will go straight to the airport. We should have plenty of time. After we get all checked in we will be having lunch.
She is ready but not overly excited. I hope she will be ready to come back after three weeks. The day after she gets back, Jan. 5th school starts back up the next day. She is only missing a day and a half of school here.
It will be almost 70 here when she flies out and when she arrives, at 5:00 WA time it will be raining but 51 degrees....so no worry of ice or snow.... We will pray for as good of weather on the return trip...

Good news...
My Son-in-Law said this will guarantee him a job for the next 5 years....I am thrilled!!!!
EVERETT, Wash. - Boeing Co.'s new 787 jetliner finally took to the skies Tuesday, more than two years later than the company had planned.
Pilots Michael Carriker and Randall Neville lifted off in the big blue and white jet at about 10:30 a.m. PST from Everett's Paine Field on a four-hour flight over Washington state, beginning the extensive flight test program needed to obtain the plane's Federal Aviation Administration certification.
Before landing at Seattle's Boeing Field later, the two-member crew planned to perform a variety of basic tests and systems checks, said Boeing Commercial Airplanes spokesman Jim Proulx. "They will essentially make sure that the airplane under normal circumstances flies the way it's supposed to fly," he said.
The huge blue and white aircraft paused for several minutes at the end of the runway, adding to the tension for the several thousand Boeing employees, customers and airline executives standing on the tarmac to watch.
About 25,000 people braved the cold and damp to watch the 787 take off. Paine Field operations director Bruce Goetz says most of the crowd were Boeing employees or members of the general public. Also in the crowd were executives from the airlines that plan to buy the new plane.
Although the runway was lined with fire trucks and other emergency vehicles with lights flashing, the first flight looked like a normal takeoff for an airliner as the huge engines kicked up clouds of mist.
The plane is the first of six 787s Boeing will use in the flight test program, expected to last about nine months that will subject the planes to conditions well beyond those found in normal airline service. Chicago-based Boeing, which has orders for 840 787s, plans to make the first delivery to Japan's All Nippon Airways late next year. The 787 is a radical departure for Boeing: About 50 percent of the plane is made of lightweight composite materials, with large sections produced by suppliers around the globe and assembled by Boeing at Everett. The plane, Boeing says, will be quieter, produce fewer emissions and use 20 percent less fuel than comparable aircraft, while passengers will enjoy a more comfortable cabin with better air quality and larger windows. The program has been plagued by ill-fitting parts and other problems. The first flight was supposed to be in 2007 with deliveries the following year, but Boeing has been forced to push that back five times — delays that have cost the company credibility,

Mystery Solved!
Sunday I blogged that after a day of shopping my feet hurt so bad. I figured it was because I wore heels and had not worn them in ages.
I have always been a sort of shoe horse. I used to own a hundred pair of shoes easily. But since I quit working at AT&T I had not bought many shoes. Then when I got sick (almost 3 years ago) and I was falling down and running into walls I bought an assortment of Crocks. That is all I wore for 2 years...I gave all of my shoes worth anything to Kris at the time. We both have always wore a 7 1/2. Since then I have given others to other people, donated some and so forth. I have ended up with a nice pair of Black 'Born' clog type, one pair of RED 'Ked' stretch Tennis shoe, and a brown pair of 'Naturalize' Loafer type. These are the only shoes I had besides Crocks that did not hurt my feet...
So for about three months now I have been reading about these 'Shape Up' Sketchers...Today I went to Kohl's and bought a pair. They feel really good on my feet. I knew Sketchers run a little small so I picked up a size 8...They were a little tight. Then I picked up an 8 1/2 and they felt better so I tried on a 9 and bingo I had a winner!
Maybe my feet hurt not because those shoes were heels but because they were size 7 1/2!
