 [Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day] Each year on Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Survivors, veterans, and visitors from all over the world come together to honor and remember the 2,403 service members and civilians who were killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. A further 1,178 people were injured in the attack, which permanently sank two U.S. Navy battleships (the USS Arizona and the USS Utah) and destroyed 188 aircraft. VideoEvery year more and more people are forgetting December 7 because most of those who remember it are dead by now. |

 [Toys For Tots] Where can I donate a nice, unwrapped Xmas toy to go to a truly needy child? A couple of years ago I was on the phone donating a toy to Toys For Tots; when I told him what toy I had, I heard him say (either to himself or someone else in the room), “Hey, I can give this to my nephew!” I said to him,” Hey, these toys are meant for the poor and needy,” he said,” Well, he’s needy!” Yeah right. I don’t want to be buying toys for the Toys for Tots guy’s family; let him buy his own presents! |

 [Flood Insurance] Did you get a notice that you must have flood insurance (which you’ve never had) for a whopping $4000?, or they will cancel your wind insurance? They don’t even “allow” us to put anything downstairs that’s worth $4000. The few people who’ve had it over the years say they insurance doesn’t pay for anything anyway. I’m thinking of cancelling my wind insurance |

| [Friday Joke] Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on a park bench one morning. The 87-year-old had just finished his morning jog and wasn’t even short of breath. The 80-year-old was amazed at the guy’s stamina and asked him what he did to have so much energy. The 87-year-old said, “Well, I eat rye bread every day. It keeps your energy level high and you’ll have great stamina with the ladies.” So, on the way home the 80-year-old stopped at the bakery. As he was looking around, the saleslady asked if he needed any help. He said, “Do you have any rye bread?” She said, “Yes, there’s a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?” He said, “I want five loaves.” She said, “My goodness, five loaves! By the time you get to the 3rd loaf, it’ll be hard.” The old man says to himself, ‘I can’t believe everybody knows about this but me.’ |
