RE: 6tH NEWSLETTER
THE FIREMAN
In
She took her son's hand and asked, "Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life?"
Mommy, "I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up."
Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if we can make your wish come true."
Later that day she went to her local fire department in
Fireman Bob said, "Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at
Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station.
He was in heaven. There were three fire calls in
He was also videotaped for the local news program. Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy, that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept that no one should die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital.
Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as a fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition.
The chief replied, "We can do better than that, we'll be there in five minutes.
Will you please do me a favor?
When you hear the sirens screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire? It's just the fire department coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will you open the window to his room?
About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window 16 firefighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room.
With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him.
With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said, "Chief, am I really a fireman now?"
“Billy, you are, and the Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand," the chief said.
With those words, Billy smiled and said, "I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and the angels have been singing."
He closed his eyes one last time.
Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead tell your storm how big your GOD is.
Barbara got back and I got your tickets Wednesday, but AT&T had our phone switched, we had no access to DSL or to Caller ID. They did clear it yesterday, and everything works fine – expect that I’m so far behind with all my newsletters for my pools.
You have new tickets!
Here are you numbers you will be playing for all 20 drawings:

Two things: 1) You are tie with J & M Lottery Pool, they have 11 lines until
2) This tickets are so light is hard to believe. Do we have an ink shortage that, I’m unaware of? When I first saw these tickets, I thought they had changed their paper, but when I saw our original tickets and compared them to our exchange ticket, I realized that Barbara was right; they need to change their Ink Cartridge.

What you’ve won so far:
| Amount Won | Date won | Running Total |
| $4.00 | | $4.00 |
| $4.00 | | $8.00 |
| - $8.00 | | $0.00 |
Now you know how much I hate single draw tickets. I have to scan them, renamed them, move them to the correct folder, only to end up deleting them. I have to update the newsletter and then on the next newsletter delete those lines. It’s a lot of work for nothing. And I always resend doing something for nothing.
But, you have to accept what you get. Barbara did get our $8.00 for us and was able to get us more tickets. So you do have one more line for five more draws, and considering no one won the Jack Pot on Wednesday and the current jack rose to over $100 Million, I will be the first to admit, I’m lucky to have 11 lines for this next drawing. (Still, I would have rather had two lines for 4 drawings.)
Your next drawing is on
| Shares Purchased | Amount You could win |
| One | $5,190,000.00 |
| Three | $15,570,000.00 |
Game Announcements
1. Lotto
2. Mega Millions Lottery Pool – Game 39 – Cost is $10.00 per share. This game starts on
Bills Gates vs. GM
Gates vs. GM and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:
"If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics" (and I just love this part):
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........ Twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
I love the next one!!!
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
