903-883-5263 July, 2014 “Sticks and Stones” is an English language children’s rhyme. It persuades the

child victim of name-calling to ignore the taunt, to refrain from physical retaliation,

and to remain calm and good-natured. It is reported to have appeared in The Christian

Recorder of March 1862, a publication of the African Methodist Episcopal Church,

where it is presented as an “old adage” in this form:

Sticks and stones will break my bones

But words will never harm me.

The phrase also appeared in 1872, where it is presented as advice in Tappy’s

Chicks: and Other Links Between Nature and Human Nature, by Mrs. George Cup-

ples.The version used in that work runs:

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But names will never hurt me.

This sentiment is reflected in/reflects the common law of civil assault, which

holds that mere name-calling does not give rise to a cause of action, while putting

someone in fear of physical violence does.

Three cowboys are sitting around a campfire, out on a lonesome Texas prairie, each with the bravado for which cowboys are famous. A night of tall tales begins.The first one says, “I must be the meanest, toughest cowboy there is. Why, just the other day a bull got loose in the corral and gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground by the horns with my bare hands.”The second cowboy can’t stand to be bested. “Why that’s nothing. I was walk-ing down the trail yesterday and a fifteen-foot rattlesnake slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that snake with my bare hands, bit its head off and sucked the poison down in one gulp. And I’m still here today.”The third cowboy remained silent, silently stirring the coals with his hand.

TO FEAR OR NOT TO FEAR? THAT IS THE QUESTION!

By Ginger Lane

Wherever this amazing bridge is going, I can’t

go there. At least, I can’t drive there. I can’t drive over

I-30 on Hwy 635 in Mesquite or over the 2 mile bridge in

Tawakoni when it’s foggy.

It’s a little embarrassing when someone is giv-

ing you directions to follow and the first and most impor-

tant question is, “Do I have to drive over anything high?”

Cuz, I can’t, ain’t and will not do it.

I’m not sure when this happened to me, but I be-

lieve it was when I was about 30 years old. I was driving

over some tall overpass and as I was beginning to start

the incline, an overwhelming feeling that I was driving

right into the sky over came me. I tried to tell myself

that everything was fine and normal, but my heart rate

was going up. I was beginning to break out in a cold

sweat and as my knuckles started to turn white gripping

the steering wheel, I realized I had slowed down to about

20 miles an hour and traffic was backing up behind me.

When I made it to the other side, I just couldn’t imagine

903-883-5263 July, 2014

Continued on Page 8


what was happening.

Even as I’m writing about this, just thinking

about it, I’m feeling a lot of those same symptoms. It’s

been years since that first episode and I’m not getting any

better. I’ve been on one side of the 2 mile bridge on 276

in Lake Tawakoni when it was foggy and I have to drive

all the way back around the lake because I can’t make

myself cross the bridge. That’s about an hour’s drive in-

stead of 2 minutes.

I remember one shopping trip to Mesquite with

a friend, Denise Easterling. She teased me into driving

over 30 on 635 on the highest part. I started with a ner-

vous laugh and ended up laughing hysterically, tears roll-

ing down my face and all the other symptoms. I can as-

sure you that by the time we made it to the other side; she

was no longer thinking of ever riding anywhere with me

again, ever. It was really scary. That’s been about twenty

years ago, and I haven’t driven over one since.

I had no idea what to call it….until now. It’s

called Gephyrophobia, a fear of bridges. I’m thinking,

for real? I have an official phobia! And, from what I

have learned, others that experience this same phenom-

ena also start around their 30’s and 40’s.

As I read more about phobias, it seems like I

might have quite a few.

*Agrizoophobia – fear of wild animals (Yep! And, I’m

mighty proud of this one!)

*Nomophobia – fear of being out of mobile phone con-

tact (Who wouldn’t be? They call it the ‘dead’ zone.)

*Myrmecophobia – fear of ants (And? I just had 5 of

the little devils bite me today. I’d call it a problem if you

weren’t afraid of them.)

*Omphalophobia – fear of navels (Just kidding. But I

had to include this one. That’s just cute.)

*Sesquipedalophobia – fear of long words (Not this one

either, and seriously?)

*Spectrophobia – fear of mirrors (And, every year this

one gets worse!)

*Turophobia - fear of cheese (Not in this lifetime!)

*Tetraphobia – fear of the number 4 and Triskaideka-

phobia, – fear of the number 13 (No, but what about the

number 5? Isn’t anybody afraid of the number 5?!)

903-883-5263 July, 2014 An Honest Mistake

An man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly

the light turned yellow just in front of him.

He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the

red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, made hand gestures while screaming

in frustration that she missed her chance to get through the intersection because of him.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face

of a very serious police officer.

The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police sta-

tion where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She

was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with

her personal effects.

He said, “I’m very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while

you were blowing your horn, making hand gestures to the guy in front of you, and

cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the ‘Choose Life’ license plate holder, the ‘What

Would Jesus Do” bumper sticker, the ‘Follow Me to Sunday School’ bumper sticker,

and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you

had stolen the car!!!”

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never

failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would

be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on

Obama’s plan”. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same

grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.

The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little

were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied

even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they

studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted

in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism

would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is

great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to suc-

ceed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

July, 2014 Texas TwisterSurvivor, Texas Style

Due to the popularity of the Survivor shows, Texas is planning to do its own, entitled Survivor - Texas Style. The contestants will start in Dallas, travel to Waco, Austin, San Antonio, over to Houston and down to Brownsville. They will then proceed up to Del Rio, on to El Paso, then to Midland, Odessa, Lub-bock and Amarillo. From there, they’ll proceed to Abilene, Ft. Worth and fi-nally back to Dallas.Each will be driving a pink Volvo with bumper stickers that read, “I’m a veg-etarian”, “I voted for Al Gore”, “George Strait Sucks”, “Hillary in 2016”, and “I’m here to confiscate your guns!” The first one to make it back to Dallas alive wins.*****The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could out-do anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, the older worker had had enough.“Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is,” he said.“I will bet a week’s wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won’t be able to wheel back.”“You’re on old man,” the braggart replied. “Let’s see what you got!”The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he says... “All right. Get in...”

A man was having trouble getting his neighbor to keep his chickens fenced in. The

neighbor kept talking about chickens being great creatures, and as such they had the

right to go where they wanted.

The man was having no luck keeping the chickens out of his flower beds, and he had

tried everything. Two weeks later, on a visit a friend noticed his flower beds were do-

ing great. The flowers were beginning to bloom.

So the friend asked him how he managed to keep the birds away. “How did you make

your neighbor keep his hens in his own yard?”

“One night I hid half a dozen eggs under a bush by my flower bed, and the next day I

let my neighbor see me gather them. I wasn’t bothered after that.”

*****

A young man and an old man were fishing on a pier. The young man started telling the

old one that the night before he caught a trout that was over 3 1/2 foot long.

The old man replied “Oh yea, well I was here 2 nights ago and I hooked something

huge. After a 30 minute fight I finally got it up and it was an old lantern and the thing

was still lit.”

The young man said “You’re lying. I can’t believe that.”

Then the old man said “I’ll tell you what, you knock a couple of foot off your trout and

I’ll blow out my lantern.”

Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look Ahead & Move on.3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes a few minutes to burn, but it takes years to write.4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, don’t worry, they can’t last long either.5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don’t forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, “Relax, sweetheart, it’s just a bend, not the end!7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn’t solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: “Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?” He replied: “Yes, losing your vision!”9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and some-times, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow’s TROUBLES, it takes away today’s PEACE.

YOUR SMILE & YOUR HEALTH!By C Gene Hamil, DDS

Parkway Dental This is the era of modern dentistry. Several years ago the new graduating dentist was bestowed his title DMD (doctor of Modern Dentistry) instead of the DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery). Both had the same qualification and training. Some people always want to look back to ‘the good ole days’, but they are not appropriate now. In our digital electronic time, we can take x-rays without plac-ing a film in the mouth. We can take an impression with-out the good in trays and we can prepare teeth for crowns without using the ‘dreaded drill’ but instead by using a laser. We can take a denture impression digitally outside the mouth. Crowns and dentures can be done digitally.One big problem is the cost. Not everyone can afford dentistry this way and the cost of this equipment is still expensive. The best thing about modern dentistry is that we know what causes dental disease, tooth decay, gum disease and unsightly crooked teeth. Modern preventive measures can prevent 90% of all dental diseases. Most of the time the missing factor is the individual responsi-bility of the patient to carry through with the measures to keep their teeth for a lifetime.

July, 2014 Texas TwisterHalt! You’re Under Arrest!

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:Officer: “May I see your driver’s license?”Driver: “I don’t have one. I had it suspended when I got

my 5th DUI.”Officer: “May I see the registration for this vehicle?”Driver: “It’s not my car. I stole it.”Officer: “The car is stolen?”Driver: “That’s right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the registration in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.”Officer: “There’s a gun in the glove box?”Driver: “Yes sir. That’s where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.”Officer: “There’s a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?”Driver: “Yes, sir.”Hearing this, the officer immediately called for back up. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the cap-tain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:Captain: “Sir, can I see your license?”Driver: “Sure. Here it is.”It was valid.Captain: “Who’s car is this?”Driver: “It’s mine, officer. Here’s the registration.”The driver owned the car.Captain: “Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there’s a gun in it?”Driver: “Yes, sir, but there’s no gun in it.”Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.Captain: “Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there’s a body in it.”Driver: “No problem.”

Trunk is opened; no body.Captain: “I don’t understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn’t have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glove box, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.”Driver: “And I bet he told you I was speeding, too!”


Howdy Texas Twister Fans, First I’d like to thank our niece, Ginger Lane, and her friend that has donated so many dolls and stuffed animals to me for my project. I take all of them and clean them and crochet clothes for them. Then I donate them to firemen, police-men and women’s center for the children. Again thank you for helping me out, you will never know how much I appreciate you both. Hope you are enjoying some of this rain we needed for our garden. We are just now getting squash and our toma-toes, peas, and okra are up but just not ready for picking. Here’s wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July, just be careful out there around all those fireworks. And watch out for those little ones if you are going to the lake, they can go under in the blink of an eye. God Bless America and God Bless our soldiers and their families. Thank you for your service to our country, both past, present and future service men and women.

The 4th of July is picnic, lake, and backyard cookout time! It’s wonderful and there is nothing better than family and friends getting to together to celebrate our free nation. I have found a sweet onion relish to top those hot dogs and hamburgers that are going to be sizzling on the grill, it’s easy and it’s not canning, but it keeps over a week in the fridge, it if lasts that long! If you are camping in an RV or in a cabin and have excess to a stove, here are some cinnamon treats that are good at the start of the day or for a late night snack around the campfire! This Chicken Taco Egg Roll recipe is so good, when served HOT! Like egg rolls. You can also try wrapping them in a tortilla like a burrito or in lettuce like a wrap!

Lake Area Shared Ministries (LASM)“If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then you shall help him, like a stranger or a sojourner that he may live with you.” LEV. 25:35 LASM is ALL volunteer emergency food pantry. It helps the needy with food, electrical bills and medical prescriptions. The pantry was formed in 2002 at the First United Methodist Church in Quin-lan. The next year we moved the property owned by Faith Baptist Church in Quinlan and worked out of a building donated by Calvin Lucas. LASM stayed at the FBC location until 2011 at which time the demand in the area had become so great that a larger location was needed to accommodate the food stor-age and clerical work area. In January of 2012, LASM opened at the new location at 8493 H 34 in Quinlan to expand its services to the needy. The building was an unfin-ished steel structure which had to be converted to a food pantry. Offices and a warehouse were con-structed in the building by an all volunteer crew. LASM has grown from 2002, serving 364 families to serving 2347 families in 2013. That equates to 90,000 pounds of food for 6000 individu-als. LASM also distributed $11, 227 of FEC fund for electric service and $5,199 in prescriptions from HMHD.Volunteers and Donations needed and welcomed! 903-356-6744
