Joke for the day
Heimlich Maneuver
At a buffet, a man suddenly called out, "Help! My son is choking!
At a buffet, a man suddenly called out, "Help! My son is choking!
He swallowed a quarter! Please, anyone, help!"
A man from a nearby table quietly stood up and said that he was quite experienced at this sort of thing.
He walked over to the boy -- suddenly squeezed hard in a sensitive spot, and out popped the quarter.
The man then went back to his table as though nothing had happened.
"Thank you! Thank you!" cried the father. "Are you a paramedic?"
"No," replied the man. "I work for the IRS."

8 Gifts That Don't Cost a Cent
1. THE GIFT OF LISTENING . . . .
But you must really listen; no interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response “just listen.”
2. THE GIFT OF AFFECTION . . . .
Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds.
Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
3. THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER . . . .
Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories.
Your gift will say "I love to laugh with you."
4. THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE . . . .
It can be a simple "Thanks for the help" note or a full sonnet.
A brief, hand-written note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.
5. THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT . . . .
A simple and sincere, "You look great in red." "You did a super job," or
"That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.
6. THE GIFT OF A FAVOR . . . . .
Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
7. THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE . . . .
There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone.
Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
8. THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION . . . .
The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone; really it's not that hard to say, "Hello" or "Thank You."
But you must really listen; no interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response “just listen.”
