  Today's Word – SUPERFLUITY
   

 


su·per·flu·i·ty
noun, plural. su·per·flu·i·ties. 1. The quality or condition of being superfluous. 2. Something superfluous: could do without such superfluities as a second car. 3. Overabundance; excess

He was a man to whom memories were an incumbrance, and anticipations a superfluity. Simply feeling, considering, and caring for what was before his eyes, he was vulnerable only in the present. His outlook upon time was as a consciousness into days gone by and to come, which makes the past a synonym for the pathetic and the future a word for circumspection, was foreign to Troy. With him the past was yesterday; the future, to-morrow; never, the day after.

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD
by Thomas Hardy



Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

James1:21

  Getting Grey



Human Body Fact

Can someone's hair turn white overnight? There are people in history that are supposed to have had their hair turn white overnight. Marie Antoinette and Thomas More, for example, are supposed to have transformed in this way immediately prior to their executions. But, can it really happen? It doesn't seem possible, because, hair is dead. Well, the visible part of hair is dead. It's just masses of dead cells hanging in a strand. So how could dead cells possibly respond to a person's emotional stress, or anything for that matter?

Well, it actually doesn't. Does that mean that no one really turns gray overnight? Not exactly. Some hair experts that it could be possible due to a condition known as "diffuse alopecia areata." That means that some of their hair falls out overnight. A person with 'Salt and pepper' hair could suddenly loose all their pigmented hair when suddenly faced with a crisis. A person with diffuse alopecia areata experiences sudden, possibly drastic hair loss. no one knows why but for some reason, he or she loses only pigmented hairs. The remaining hair would all be white.

Today's SMILE

 

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

A FEW SMILES

A contractor was going though a client's home as she told him what colors she wanted each room. "I want the living room yellow", she said.

The contractor leaned out the window and yelled "Green side up!"

In the bedroom she wanted a light pastel blue.

Once again the contractor leaned out the window and yelled "Green side up!"

After she requested mauve for the bathroom, the contractor once again leaned out the window and yelled "Green side up!"

The client finally asked. "I requested three different colors and you kept yelling the same thing out the window.

How come?" The contractor answered, "My crew is laying down your sod outside."

His reply: "Duh, like in a big red truck!"

The Furries

  It seems that when the astronauts landed on the moon they were met by a group of small fuzzy creatures known as "Furries."  The King Furry introduced himself and offered the earthlings a tour of the underground kingdom.  After visiting the mall, parks and schools, they were taken on a tour of the hospital.  It was a fine facility but the astronauts did notice a small furry sitting in a corner with a hypodermic needle sticking out of its head.  Curious about that, they asked the King what was wrong with that particular furry.

"Why, nothing. Thats just a Furry with a syringe on the top."

Long ago there was a kingdom where the King wore a brightly colored vest instead of a crown.  The vest was adorned with  all different colors of berries to make it beautiful.   Maintaining this vest was difficult because it needed   freshening daily.  His people would go into the mountains  with big nets.   They would throw the nets over the berry bushes, and snare the fresh berries for the King.  The people valued and honored this vest as the symbol of the throne.   One day the colors on the King's vest were fading badly.  The people were asked to bring in fresh berries, but there were none to be had. The King looked very bad, so much so that he so he issued this proclamation: ... "A reward will be paid for those who snare enough to mend the berry vest."

(By Harry Tilden)


A wealthy man bought a ranch in Kentucky, bought several promising young thoroughbred horses, and hired some experts to raise them while he followed other pursuits. He quickly found, however, that the money flow was only in one direction, out of his pocket. He decided to make a surprise visit to his ranch, and found to his horror, that he had been financing a gentle retirement home for lazy race horses. Each horse gave clear evidence of living a wholly sedentary life. The horses were grossly overweight. Moreover, they were so unused to moving rapidly that many small birds had built nests in their hair, and these birds were busy raising their young. He was incensed and fired all his ranch hands. Next, he grabbed a ladder and garden rake, and he started cleaning up his horses, removing the bird nests from off their backs. In his anger, he gave these now immortal instructions to his new helpers: "BEAST IS BEAST, AND NEST IS NEST, AND NEVER THE MANE SHALL TWEET!"
