Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrong. Charlotte Bronte |

![]() One's life story cannot be told with complete veracity. A true autobiography would have to be written in states of mind, emotions, heartbeats, smiles and tears; not in months and years, or physical events. Life is marked off on the soul by feelings, not by dates. Helen Keller |

A portion of this building has recently been demolished. From what still remains of it one
can form a judgment as to what it was in former days. As a whole, it was not over a
hundred years old. A hundred years is youth in a church and age in a house. It seems as
though man's lodging partook of his ephemeral character, and God's house of his eternity.
Les Miserables
Victor Hugo

The Frog Life Cycle 2 The marsupial tree frogs have a very unique life cycle. Examples of the marsupial frogs
are those of the genus Gastrotheca found in tropical America. The female has a brood pouch
on her back. As she extrudes the eggs in the course of breeding, the male uses his feet to
guide the eggs into her pouch. Depending on the species, the eggs may develop with baby
frogs being born from the pouch, or they may develop into tadpoles to be released into
water for further development. Sources for the Amphibian - Frog series include: Encyclopedia of Reptiles and Amphibians - Editors: Dr.

A FEW SMILES OLD FROGS never die, they just croak
Two poodles were chatting. "I can't figure it out," said the first dog. "I'm in perfect physical shape, but I'm constantly anxious." The second dog says, "Why don't you go to a psychiatrist?" To this the first dog remarks, "How can I? I'm not allowed on the couch!!" A man needs a heart transplant and is put on the top of the priority list. Days are passing by, but there is still no available compatible heart. As death becomes imminent, his doctor presents him with a possible life-saving alternative. "Jim, we want to help you, but we cannot find a compatible human heart. However, we are testing animal hearts in humans and can offer you a sheep heart. Are you willing?" The man agrees after weighing the options, and the surgeon transplants the sheep heart into him. A few days after the operation, the man comes in for a checkup. The doctor asks him "How are you feeling?" The man replies "Not BAAAAD!" The Have you heard about the man who got the job driving the bus for Sesame Street? He
was really looking forward to meeting all the Sesame Street characters, and so he was
filled with great anticipation his first day on the job. As he stood outside the bus
waiting for his riders to begin to arrive, the first person he saw approaching the bus was
an *extremely* large woman. Before she boarded the bus, he asked her her name. Huffing and
puffing from the exertion of walking, she replied, "My name is Patty." There is an Indian tribe near here that has a problem: they can't sleep.
It is a small tribe; only 500 members, but every one has insomnia. They are called the
Indian-napless 500. |
