Jack’s Winning Words 5/27/20
“If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.”  (Katharine Hepburn)  “There’s no crying in baseball!” is being replaced by a new rule…”There’s no spitting in baseball.”  Statistics show that players spit on avg, once every 30 seconds.  Baseball and spitting have always been the style of the game, but “the virus” is changing that.  Even the Little League “handshakes” are a thing of the past.  New times demand a new style of doing things, even in the “old ballgame.:”  ;-)  Jack


FROM TAMPA SHIRL:   Life is filled with surprises! I am waiting for the rocket launch today! ===JACK:  Anticipation...Will a "private rocket" make it?

FROM HONEST JOHN:  Americans stink at following the rules...even our leader can’t do it....bad example===JACK:  I can hear God saying, "My people stink at following the Commandments." ===JOHN:  Sounds like it comes from Jeremiah===JACK:  ,,,,one of my favorite Bible books.  I also like the song, "Jeremiah was a bullfrog."

FROM THE HAIR STYLIST:  Amen to that.

FROM FACEBOOK LIZ:  i will be soooo glad when the scamdemic is exposed for the political ploy it is... tho spitting/tobacco chewing can go away forever, please!===JACK:  Scamdemic?  Where are you living?  in a cave?  ...and do you mean to say that you've never spit during your lifetime?  I'm glad to see that you're still the same old "fun" Liz.

FROM WILLMAR REV:  Mom used to spit on her thumb and wipe something off my face . . . no wonder I've gotten old and will die someday?! 0;-)===JACK:  ...and I hated it when my mom used to spit on her hankie and try to wipe something off of my face.   I have survived.,..so far!

FROM QUILTING CAROL:   I sure will NOT miss the baseball players spitting!  What a gross habit to get start; maybe this will end their chewing tobacco another awful habit!  Will miss the Little League handshakes or any handshakes – a nice habit to share.===JACK:  How about the "passing of the peace" in church?  Will that be next?===CAROL:  I’m sure it will be for maybe a year or so until they can figure out this Covid 19 better.  Can understand the removal of hymnals, but am truly wondering why they don’t want of singing?  Can we not pass germs saying the liturgy, the Lord’s Prayer and Apostles Creed?  If we can’t do all of these things together, then let us keeping worshipping from home to be safer

FROM FACEBOOK LIZ:  of course i have never spat... ew.  the virus is not what some would lead us to believe. purely political. gisela has great insight into the reality of it as an ER nurse, brand new nurse practitioner (doctorate in nursing from one of the top NP programs in the world). she is soon to be one of four NPs in charge of the ICU.  CDC is backtracking on the “science,” the WHO and china are not forthcoming w/answers and are doing everything in their power to prevent others from getting to the bottom of it.  a cave... hmmm, like the cave the wuhan bat flew out of? if this is a super virulent “novel” virus, the bat caves should be teeming w/bats infected w/it. no one has any info on that, to my knowledge.  time will tell..===JACK:  We each have our own sources for reliable information..
