So American Red Cross should be closed too,since it has the word "Cross" in it...Or maybe we should stop giving Medals of Honor since they have shape of Cross...How ridiculous is this????

THIS IS JUST GREAT!


Rebuilding New Orleans after Katrina often caused residents to be challenged to prove home titles back hundreds of years. That is because of community history stretching back over two centuries during which houses were passed along through generations of family, sometimes making it quite difficult to establish a paper trail of ownership.

A New Orleans lawyer sought a FHA rebuilding loan for a client. He was told the loan would be granted upon submission of satisfactory proof of ownership of the parcel of property as it was being offered as collateral.
It took the lawyer 3 months, but he was able to prove title to the property dating back to 1803. After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply:
(Actual reply from FHA):
"Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application, we note that the request is supported by an Abstract of Title. While we compliment the able manner in which you have prepared and presented the application, we must point out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral property back to 1803. Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin."

And here is the great letter the lawyer responded with:
(Actual response):

"Your letter regarding title in Case No.189156 has been received. I note that you wish to have proof of title extended further than the 206 years already covered in the present application. I was unaware that any educated person in this country, particularly those working with real property, would not know that Louisiana was purchased by the United States from France in 1803 , the year of origin of title identified in our application. For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to U.S. ownership was obtained from France, which had acquired it by Right of Conquest from Spain. The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of Discovery made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus, who had been granted the privilege of seeking a new route to India by the Spanish monarch, Queen Isabella. The good Queen Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful about titles as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to finance Columbus' expedition Now the Pope, as I'm sure you may know, is the emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted, created this world. Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the world called Louisiana. God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and His origins date back to before the beginning of time, the world as we know it, and the FHA. I hope you find God's original claim to be satisfactory.
Now, may we have our damn reconstruction loan?"

The loan was immediately approved.

Good History Also.

Think you know everything about your pooch? Well, lets see...

Here are some things people think they know about dogs, but they aren't true.

Dog Myth #1: A Dog's Mouth is Cleaner Than a Human's

As much as I'd like to believe that Ellie's kisses are full of nothing but love, that just isn't the case.

You see, dogs carry different bacteria than we do. And, some of that bacteria can create health problems for humans, particularly if you have a weakened i****e s****m or the dog licks your open wounds.

If you have a dog, it's important to keep any wounds covered until they heal. And if your dog does land a wet one on your face, be sure to wash both your face and hands after the kiss to get rid of any bacteria that may have left Fido's mouth.

T***hfully, though it may not be the cleanest, I still go in for a kiss. (You gotta live a little.)

Dog Myth #2: Dogs Can Only See in Black & White

This one even got me, as I always believed that Ellie could only see in shades of grey. After all, this was once widely known as t***h for as long as I can remember. But, new studies have shown that this isn't the case.

It seems that dogs can actually see certain colors, like yellows, blues and violets.

However, they can't tell the difference between reds, greens, and oranges.

Maybe that's why Ellie always had a hard time finding her orange ball laying in the grass out back. Or maybe she's just messing with me.

Dog Myth #3: A Wagging Tail = A Happy Dog

Your dog actually has many types of wags to show their mood. A broad, swishing wag when you come home is showing that she's happy to see you.

But, a high tail with very fast, short, back-and-forth movements can mean your dog is on guard.

And, when someone new comes to visit, she may give a slight wag, showing that she's a little tentative and nervous.

So, the next time you're out with your pooch, or having people over, keep an eye on that tail to see how she's really feeling.

Dog Myth #4: Dogs Age 7 "Human Years" Each Year

I hear this a lot. "Janie is 3 is dog years, but 21 in human years."

Nice shorthand, but it just isn't true. How fast a dog ages depends on its size and its breed. Larger dogs, like Great Danes, tend to age faster than smaller dogs, like Chihuahuas.

But as anyone who has lost a dog can tell you...

They don't live nearly long enough.

Dog Myth #5: Some Dogs are Hypoallergenic

While it's true some dogs naturally shed less, or have less fur, no dog is completely hypoallergenic.

Allergens are found in dog's dander, saliva and urine. And, I've never met a dog that didn't have these 3 things.

There's bound to be some people, particularly those who are more sensitive, that will still have a problems with your hypoallergenic dog.

But, let's be honest.

Despite the dander, and the shedding, and the sloppy kisses filled with bacteria, there's really few places you'd rather be than sitting beside your dog, giving her a scratch behind her ears.

I count Ellie as one of the true blessings in my life, and if you have a dog, I'm sure you feel the same way about yours.

God Bless,
