Jack’s Winning Words 8/7/13
“The more you know, the less you need.”  (Australian Aboriginal Proverb)  DNA tests show that the Aboriginal people are the oldest living group on earth, tracing their heritage back 75,000 years ago.  They’ve survived because of a “make do” attitude.  During the Great Depression my wife’s grandparents kept a cow in their backyard to provide milk for their children.  It’s amazing how the needy can become resourceful.    ;-)  Jack

   FROM HONEST JOHN:  My DNA has been traced back 77,000 years....came out of Africa...got as far East as Khazakistan and then to Germny and now to USA...been immigrants many times.====JACK:  So, you don't subscribe to the Creationist's calendar which says that the Earth is between 6,000 and 10,000 years old?  That would mean that "you" were created before Adam and Eve.

  FROM BLAZING OAKS:  MY GOODNESS, THINK OF THAT! DNA GOING BACK  75,000 YRS!.DNA DISCOVERY HAS LED TO  SO MANY OTHERS!  DO YOU REMEMBER THE QUOTE BY RONALD REAGAN, "THE  NEAREST THING TO ETERNAL LIFE WE WILL EVER SEE ON THIS EARTH IS  A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM"? STILL STANDS TRUE TODAY....:-) ====JACK:  I'm glad for many government programs...social security, medicare, food and drug controls, FAA, etc.  I also do not see DNA testing as an invasion of my privacy.  And I don't care if they read this e-mail answer to you.

 FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  We are finding this true more and more.  We have family items and we have decided to give them to the kids now...so they can enjoy them.  We will be downsizing when we move out of this big home.  We love it, but we find we can do with less and less all the time.====JACK:  An elderly friend of mine (older than I am) has certain buzz words and phrases.
Simplify!  He did that prior to moving uinto assisted living (and before).  He had too much STUFF.
10-10-80 - Give 10% to God; save 10%; spend the rest, 80%, on whatever you want.  And you will be rich.  He's done that since he was a young man and says that it works.

 FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  The glass is always half full, I think. Is that the Hubbard of Scientology? ====JACK:  L. Ron Hubbard would probably not say something like today's "words."  The Church of Scientology admires L. Ron, to such an extent that it describes him in hagiographic terms.
