........ Top TEN New Year's Resolutions >>
. 10. Read less. 7-8-and 9 were too racy.
6. Procrastinate more.
5. Drink. Drink some more.
4. Start being superstitious.
3. Spend more time at work.
2. Stop bringing lunch from home: I should eat out more.
and last but not least...
1. Take up a new habit: maybe smoking!
.............. Alternatives for the , ah, para-normals;
n >>>>
. 1. As I let go of my feelings of guilt, I am in touch
with my inner sociopath.
2. I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-
soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia.
3. I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the
ones that are someone else's fault.
4. In some cultures what I do would be considered normal.
5. My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of wisdom and
judgment.
6. I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan,
whimper, and complain.
7. When someone hurts me, I know that forgiveness is
cheaper than a lawsuit, but not nearly as rewarding.
8. I am at one with my duality.
9. Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves
in knots.
10. I will strive ... (deleted explitives).
11. I honor and express all facets of my being, regardless
of state and local laws.
12. Today I will gladly share my experience and advice,
for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so!"
13. A scapegoat is almost as good as a solution.
14. Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all
day in my underwear. Instead, I will move my computer into
the bedroom.
15. I will no longer waste my time reliving the past; I
will spend it worrying about the future.
16. The complete lack of evidence is the surest proof that
the conspiracy is working.
17. Before I criticize a man, I walk a mile in his shoes.
That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot.
The following was shared by surfer Cathy W., from
[link removed].
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste,
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared,
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared.
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese,
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt,
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt.
I said to myself, as I only can,
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"
So--away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished,
'Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie--not even a lick,
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore,
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot,
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

Hi,
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Keith
Zierhart and I am the Special Programs Coordinator at
Forest Hill Memorial Park in Oak Creek, Arlington Park
Cemetery in Milwaukee, and Sunset Ridge Memorial Park in
Kensoha. I have just initiated a special savings program
for all educators, administration personnel, and
retirees. The offer is a 20% discount on all crypts,
cremation niches, graves, markers, and most all cemetery
merchandise. We are also offering 36 month interest-free
financing.
Please let me know the best way to present this program to
those eligible. I can do a presentation and/or distribute
flyers with this information.
Pre-planning is not only a wise decision financially, but
it will prevent your loved ones from having to make
terribly difficult personal decisions under the worst of
circumstances.
Please get back to me and we can discuss this further, or
put me in touch with the individual(s) who would be
responsible for this type of program. The best way to
reach me is by cell phone (414-588-3476).
Thank you,
Keith A. Zierhart

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Congress in the Classroom® 2005
DEADLINE: March 15, 2005
Congress in the Classroom® is a national, award-winning
education program now in its 13th year. Sponsored by The
Dirksen Congressional Center, the workshop is dedicated to
the exchange of ideas and information on teaching about
Congress.
Congress in the Classroom® is designed for high school
teachers who teach U.S. history, government, civics,
political science, or social studies. Forty teachers from
throughout the country will be selected in 2005 to take
part in the program.
You will gain experience with The Center's educational Web
site, CongressLink - [link removed].
Throughout the program you will work with national experts
as well as colleagues from across the nation. This
combination of firsthand knowledge and peer-to-peer
interaction will give you new ideas, materials, and a
professionally enriching experience.
In sum, the workshop consists of two types of sessions:
those that focus on recent research and scholarship about
Congress (and don't always have an immediate application in
the classroom) and those geared to specific ways to teach
students about Congress.
The 2005 program theme will be "Our New Congress -- the
109th." Confirmed session titles are:
* A View from Capitol Hill
* The Importance of Teaching Democracy Appreciation
* George W. Bush's Second Term: What's in Store for
Congress?
* Congress Has a Humorous Side
* How Congress Members Decide (Hint: It Looks Like a Game of
Billiards)
* Teaching Congress Through Visuals
* The Struggle to Reform Congress and Its Consequences
* The Civil Rights Act of 1964: Using Document Analysis to
Tell the Story
* How to Get Your Point Across to Congress Members
* The Dirksen Center Web Suite as a Resource for Teachers
* Congressional Insight: A Computer Simulation of a Member's
First Term in the House of Representatives, and more.
The workshop will take place from Monday, July 25 through
July 28, 2005, at the Radisson Hotel in Peoria, Illinois.
Teachers who are selected for the program will be
responsible for (1) a non-refundable $135 registration fee
(required to confirm acceptance after notice of
selection) and (2) transportation to and from Peoria,
Illinois. Many school districts will pay all or a portion
of these costs.
The Center pays for three nights lodging at the
headquarters hotel (providing a single room for each
participant), workshop materials, local transportation, all
but three meals, and presenter honoraria and expenses. The
Center spends between $25,000 and $30,000 to host the
program each year
Those teachers who are not selected for the program will
have an opportunity to register for the Web-based Congress
in the Classroom course.
The deadline for applications is March 15, 2005. Enrollment
is competitive and limited to forty. Selection will be
determined by The Center. Individuals will be notified of
their acceptance status by April 1, 2005.
Take a look at The Dirksen Center Web site-

Probably the most time efficient way to find out salaries
for certian areas is to contact the uniserve for a
particular area. You should be able to find the uniserve
office numbers for northern WI districts by going to the
WEAC website. I believe it is [link removed].
