Back to Basics:
ii) IMPORTANT
MONEY TIP
i) Getting Back to Basics:
We're well into our Fall
activities and I suddenly found myself overwhelmed with too many tasks, which
made the Singles Courier a week late. But, as Al Williams has said 'All You
Can Do IS All You Can Do, BUT ALL You Can Do Is Enough' so I won't beat
myself up too much.
Last issue I sent out a plea for help in designing our future, through a
survey on our site. Have you had time to do that yet? If not, then please set
aside time soon. The results will be summarized and published in our
Singles Courier so subscribers and members can see a profile of Singles Center
singles.
You can read my last epistle here
or go right to the survey here
You can read this issue's epistle
'Searching Issues' on a new discussion group in our Singles
Ministry that I'll be leading, where we'll look at some questions that may be
pertinent to today's single.
What does the Bible say about sex before marriage?
What is the Christian attitude towards homosexuality?
Please take time to help me out with your input on
the survey.
ii) Here's an IMPORTANT MONEY
TIP:
I'm so-o-o-o excited! I found a way to cut my phone costs by MORE than
half, pay fewer taxes on my phone service, and even make money with it. My
phone costs went from over $100 per month to $27. per month, AND I have more
features. Watch for an email invitation coming from me to invite you to try
the features and get a free month of service, or you can
check it out now.
You’ll love it!

10) Last but not least -
Always Leave 'Em Laughin'
In honor of Canada's (my homeland) approaching Thanksgiving Day (and the US
Columbus Day), I share this story of Patty's Sharing Thanksgiving Dinner. This
is not the same Pat as in our new Pat's Corner but their antics can be similar
at times :)
Patty’s Sharing Thanksgiving Dinner
My friend Patty has had to cope with more crises than I think any one
person should have to bear. But God gave her a quirky sense of humor to see
her through her trials. One of the ways she copes is to play pranks on
friends, who sometimes don’t see the humor in it right away.
One of the funnier ones, to me as an observer, was the time she decided to
treat her boyfriend to a surprise dinner, with a menu only Patty could cook
up. She went to the Public Market in Rochester NY and purchased the piece de
resistance – a live duck. Patty doesn’t drive so she tied a rope around the
duck’s neck and proceeded to walk it several blocks over to Monroe Avenue to
her boyfriend’s house.
The duck was not very cooperative and she had trouble keeping it on the
sidewalk and walking in the direction she wanted to go, with it squawking and
flapping its wings, scattering feathers along the way. Passers-by laughed and
even motorists honked their horns causing the duck to act up even more.
She finally reached her friend’s house where she put the duck, a can of
peas, and a potato, on the front porch, closed the door and walked away,
chuckling to herself. It was a couple of days before her friend called.
"What in hell did you think you were doing?" Tim yelled.
"What do you mean?" Patty said innocently.
"I’ve been out of town," he replied. "I came home and found my German
Shepherd had jumped through the front window onto the porch. I’ve got blood
and feathers all over the place. I know it was you. Nobody else would dream up
a stunt like that or go through with it, if they did," he said.
Patty confessed that she was the culprit but it didn’t end their
friendship. They continued to date and she even played other her pranks on him
but her Thanksgiving Duck Dinner is the one he remembers and laughs about the
most now.
