RE: 2^nd Newsletter

Today's thought from Hazelden is:

You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.
--Doug Floyd

How do you experience harmony at work? We typically experience it through cooperation in projects or in meetings where everyone seems "tuned in" and can hear one another.

When we are working in a cooperative environment, we have an opportunity to experience synchronicity at work. Synchronicity refers to the moments when there is a true sense of cooperation. We know that barbershop quartets as well as other music groups and athletic teams experience this. Of course they get to practice to achieve such harmony. When we give ourselves permission to be truly "with" our colleagues or co-workers, it becomes possible to tap the spirit in the workplace. The feelings of harmony send energy into the air around us; we know that we are a part of the whole.

Just for today, I shall focus on cooperating with all those around me.

Your first game was on Wednesday, October 10^th, 2007, and I ask Juanita to make sure this game started that date, because I wanted you to play for the highest Jack Pot possible.

That thought process did is not good. Look at this:

$20 Million Powerball Jackpot Won!
One lucky ticket in Colorado matched all six numbers Wednesday evening and walked away with the $20 million jackpot. The holder of the winning ticket will now have to decide either to take the 29 year, 30 installment annuity or take the one-time cash "lump sum" amount of $9,402,914. No word from the winner yet, but the ticket was reportedly sold in the Denver area.

Okay, now the Jack Pot is reset, so we are playing for $15 Million. It seems to me a lot of people are winning Power Ball, and I would like to know why we are NOT those people.

Here are your numbers for the entire game:

Power Ball Numbers	Power Ball	Dates Valid	Notes
25 31 44 50 54	08	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008	Not Quick Pick
07 11 17 31 39	06	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008
04 22 38 39 49	07	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008
08 31 44 50 54	25	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008
24 37 46 52 55	31	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008
06 22 23 32 47	05	10/10/2007 – 01/05/2008

While someone in Colorado was winning the Power Ball Jack Pot, we won $12.00.

The Numbers for Saturday were 12-16-31-33-54

Power Ball: 5

Power Play: 4

We had the Power Ball 05 and that pays $3.00; the Power Pay number was 4 so we got $12.00.

This was just our 1^st drawing, and we have 25 more drawings to go.

Most of you play with me in other games and your use to me picking up the money and buying the group more tickets. That is not going to happened in this game.

Our tickets were purchased in Pennsylvania, and Juanita Brown, who has our tickets lives in Ohio. So we will be saving all of our winnings until the last draw, and then will arrange to collect our winnings.

For now, I will show your wins here:

Amount Won	Date Won	Running Total
October 10, 2007	$12.00	$12.00

Our next drawing is on Saturday, October 13^th, 2007. The Jack Pot is worth $15 Million. The Cash Option is worth $7,100,000.00. There were 12 shares issued in this game. I will divide the Cash Option by 12 and your portion in posted in the chart below.

Shares Purchased	Amount you could win (before any attorney fees, Taxes or Tithes)
.5	$295,833.33
1	$591,666.66
2	$1,183,333.33
3	$1,775,000.00

MAX (Here it is = men’s answer to Maxine)

How many men does it take to open a beer?

None. It should be opened when she brings it.

Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?

Because a woman who can’t even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you.

Why do women have smaller feet than men?

It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.

How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?

When she starts a sentence with "A man once told me..."

How do you fix a woman's watch?

You don't. There is a clock on the oven.

Why do men pass gas more than women?

Because women can't shut up long enough to

Build up the required pressure.

If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?

The dog, of course, he'll shut up once you let him in.

What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?

A woman who won't do what she's told

I married a Miss Right.

I just didn't know her first name was Always.

Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes a woman's sex drive by 90%.

It's called a Wedding Cake.

Why do men die before their wives?

They want to.

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

In the beginning, God created the earth and rested.

Then God created Man and rested.

Then God created Woman.

Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.
