>-->2 HOT Off The 'Shangy' Press :)
Our first too hot to handle new page comes from our friend
BillR. This was one, like the one we already had on the
website, made me stop and think and take pause. It is a good
reminder to spread the Gospel to all those we hold near and
dear. Be sure to turn up your sound and check it out here...

...Definitely a keeper! Thanks BillR!
Our next flaming hot new page is from our friends Melinda and
LouiseAu. I've had this from Melinda for a while and recently
ran across it in my email forwards archives. Like before, I really
liked it and tried to check it out. It being in another language,
however, I was not quite sure of it. So, like before, I put it on
the back burner. I generally ask God to help me with my web work
so I know I am giving Him the Glory and am doing as He pleases.
God being the awesome Father He is, worked His magic and the next
day, in comes an email from LouiseAu. It settled my mind so that
I had no doubts and could do the following page on it - be sure
to turn the sound up and watch the video here too:

...So Stunning! Things we seldom see! Thanks Ladies!
* A Little Note Here: What Father did was how He often works with us,
His children. Because of our spiritual connection of God in Christ in
us, Father is able to link us like one big family unit. He can work
through each of us bringing us closer together to help each other solve
problems. I am sure LouiseAu had no idea she was led to that particular
video at that particular time to share it with us by God Almighty! Just
one of the many awe inspiring things God does for us.

The young couple invited their aged parson for Sunday dinner.
While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked
their son what they were having.
"Goat," the little boy replied.
"Goat?" replied the startled man of the cloth, "Are you sure about
that?"
"Yep," said the youngster. "I heard Pa say to Ma, 'Might as well have
the old goat for dinner today as any other day.'"

Three Rednecks were working up on a cell phone tower: Cooter, Ronnie and
Donnie. As they start their descent Cooter slips, falls off the tower
and is killed instantly.
As the ambulance takes the body away, Ronnie says, "Well, damn, someone
should go and tell his wife."
Donnie says, "OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it."
Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Budweiser.
Ronnie says, "Where did you get that beer, Donnie?"
"Cooter's wife gave it to me," Ronnie replies.
"That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she
gave you beer?"
"Well, not exactly," Donnie says. "When she answered the door, I said to
her, 'You must be Cooter's widow'".
She said, "You must be mistaken, I'm not a widow."
Then I said, "I'll bet you a case of Budweiser you are."

>Airplane Cell Phone
En route to Hawaii, I noticed one of my passengers in the coach
section of the airplane dialing her cell phone.
"Excuse me. That can't be on during the flight," I reminded her.
"Besides, we're over the ocean. You won't get a signal out here."
"That's okay," she said. "I'm just calling my daughter. She's sitting
up in first class."

>Priestly Golf
A priest was playing golf with several laymen. On the eighteenth
hole, the priest was two feet from the cup. A tap would make him
winner for the day.
He stepped to the ball, studied it, then putted. The ball ringed the
cup and jumped out.
The priest stared for a full minute, his lips forming some famous
four-letter words.
One of the laymen said, "That was the dirtiest silence I ever heard!"
-<>-
>Time Management
The church wanted to help their congregation cope better with the
stresses of modern life, and decided to offer a course in Time Management.
Soon after the course was announced, a member telephoned the
preacher, "What time does the course start?"
The preacher replied, "Oh... six-ish, seven-ish...."
-<>-
>Mealtime Blessing
My four-year-old likes to say the blessing at mealtimes, usually
repeating the same short prayer: "Thank you, God, for this gracious
food. Amen."
One evening, however, he thanked the Lord for the birds, the trees,
each of his friends, and asked God to watch over his family and help
them to be good.
I was thrilled that he was finally praying from the heart.
But after the "Amen," he took a spoonful of stew, gasped, then
dropped his spoon into the bowl. "I should have said a longer
prayer, my food is still too hot!"
-<>-
>Travel Warning
The state has issued a travel warning due to snowfall and icy road
conditions. They suggest that anyone traveling on the roads should
have the following:
Shovel
Blankets or sleeping bag
Extra clothing including hat and gloves
24 hours' worth of food
De-icer
Road salt
Flashlight with spare batteries
Road flares or reflective triangles
Full gas can
First Aid kit
Booster cables
I looked like a real idiot on the bus this morning.

>SMILES:
Benefits of Good Vocabulary - I recently called an old Engineering buddy
of mine and asked what he was working on these days.
He replied that he was working on "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics,
aluminum and steel under a constrained environment."
I was impressed until, upon further inquiry, I learned that he was
washing dishes with hot water under his wife's supervision.
-------
A widowed lady, traveling alone, was taking a long plane trip back to
where she & her husband both grew up. Upon arriving at the airport she
informed the airline that she wanted to take her dog with her in the
cabin. She became angry when the airline told her she couldn't, but
finally gave in and allowed them to put the dog in the baggage
compartment.
The airline pilot told her, "It will be warm & pressurized in there, &
your dog should be just fine. Nothing to worry about."
Upon arrival at the first fuel stop, the crew went to check on the dog
and found it dead! The airline crew quickly ran all over town until they
found a dog of the same color, height, weight, and gender & put it in
the cage in place of the dead dog. Upon arrival at their final
destination, they hand delivered the lady her dog.
Quite surprised, the woman says, "Sorry, but that's not my dog! Could
you please go get *my* dog?"
The airline pilot replies, "Sure it's your dog. Look! It's the same
height, weight, color, & gender as when we loaded it."
The lady again insisted, "THIS, IS *NOT* MY DOG!"
The airline pilot asks her, "Just how do you know that this isn't your
dog?"
The widow answers, "Because my dog is dead! I was taking it home to
bury it next to my husband!"

>THE MIRROR
The other day, I happened by chance,
As I passed a mirror, to give it a glance
And I wondered who that old man could be,
Who, with his mouth wide open, was looking at me.
His bald head was sprinkled with a little gray fuzz,
And he wasn't at all handsome (like I always was)
He looked like a sack of mismated parts,
Put together without aid of instructions or charts.
And while I know that my shoulders don't slump,
This person's were misshapen in one ugly hump'
Now, if that was my image, I only can say,
They don't make mirrors like they did in my day.

sells for half the price you paid for it.
11. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the

to go get it.
12. Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase
would be a hassle and takes planning.
13. Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food bags out of
the back seat of your car.

This morning I was listening to a morning talk show and--as is the case
since his death--there's a lot of conversation about President George H.
W. Bush. Bill Bennett, who served under GHWB, was being interviewed.
One of the questions that the commentator asked was, " How would you
compare George Herbert Walker Bush to Donald Trump?”
I think Dr. Bennett`s response was brilliant when he replied, "... the
world is an ever-changing place; sometimes you need Mother Theresa and
sometimes you need Dirty Harry."
That sure sums it up.

No one likes a dry, hard cookie - especially not Santa
To ensure maximum cookie freshness, store them in a container
with a slice of white bread, half of an apple, or an orange
peel.
The cookies will absorb that moisture, keeping them softer longer.
No rolling pin? Don't freak out, I got you covered...
Wine and liquor bottles make great substitutes for rolling
pins.
Just wipe them down, dry them completely, and cover them in
flour like you would a normal rolling pin.
You can also wrap the bottle in parchment paper to be extra
sanitary.
Memorize the phone numbers of three key contacts.
We have all become incredibly reliant on our cell phones
for everything.
Do yourself a favor and make sure that you know the phone
numbers of at least three people close to you. You never know
when you will need to reach someone and not have access to
the contact list on your phone.
Keeping your pillows fresh is easy - once a week!
To keep your pillows fresh, tumble-dry them once a week for
15 minutes. This will get rid of mites and remove any
mustiness. Your pillows will also come out much fluffier.
Time to de-clutter your pantry...
De-clutter your pantry by storing individually wrapped items

All About THE WALL - Justice With Judge Jeanine 12/22/18
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRN2zn2h17M
---
...I was speaking with my brother this weekend and he mentioned that
he really didn't know if President Trump was doing the country any
good. He went on to say he voted for him and will do so again in
2020. This got me thinking. It is sad actually. He doesn't get on
the computer much so most of the news he gets is from the normal news
networks which do everything they can to trash and bash President
Trump, his family and his supporters every news cycle. This means
that most of the good the President has been doing over the last 2
years doesn't get air time and is hardly mentioned, so he and many
others like him have no idea how hard Trump has been working to keep
his promises and do his best for America.
With this in mind I went searching on the internet and found a
wonderful list and printed it out for him. It turned out to be 25
pages of what Trump has done for the US! Check this out here:

>From BizarreNews:
Like the comedian Jim Gaffigan pointed out, a lot of our holiday
traditions seem like the actions of a drunk. Who chops down a tree and
drags it inside their house (without drinking a 12 pack of beer and a
half pint of whiskey first)? But our holiday oddities seem quaint and
homey compared to some of the bizarre things they do to celebrate
Christmas around the world.
In Catalonia, families gather around the "caga tio," a log that's
decorated with a cartoon face and plied with treats in the weeks before
Christmas. On Christmas day, the children sing a song and beat the log
with sticks until it 'poops' out presents (caga is the Catalonian
equivalent of 'caca,' and means 'pooping').
In Austria, the Christmas season kicks off on Dec. 5 with Krampusnacht
Krampus, St. Nick's demonic polar opposite, is a goat-horned devil that
shakes fistfuls of rusty chains at passing children. According to
legend, naughty kids are snatched by Krampus and dragged to his mountain
lair. In more recent years, the custom has morphed into a sort of
Halloween in December, giving people a chance to dress up and parade
around in their ghoulish costumes.
In the Netherlands, the Dutch add a little fear to their holiday
celebrations with Zwarte Piet. In a rather racist custom that has
persisted to this day, Zwarte Piet, or Black Peter, is Santa's slave who
abducts Dutch children that misbehave, taking them back to Spain, where
it is said that Santa and Peter spend their off-season. In a scene many
Americans would find shocking, the Dutch dress up as Black Peter,
donning black face and Afro wigs, in order to accompany Santa.
So don't be too critical when Dad dresses up at Santa this year and
smells a little like scotch and cigarettes. It could be a lot worse.

Just where does the weapons manufacturer 'Glock' get off producing
firearms that discharge? The atrocious record of these guns firing is
long and storied.
One of the best examples was caught on video. You may have seen this
clip in Bizarre News before. This poor, hapless officer is shot by the
deadly Glock while teaching a gun safety seminar. If you haven't seen
the video you can click the link below.

https://www.pulsetv.com/prodinfo.asp?number=8581&youtube=evtv11215&iframe=true"
Yet another disturbing example came to light when another police officer
who was shot by a Glock brought a lawsuit against the manufacturer.
Los Angeles police officer Enrique Chavez was shot in the back by his
own weapon. The off-duty officer had forgotten that he had stowed his
loaded .45-caliber Glock, upholstered and with a round apparently
chambered, securely under the front seat of his Ford Ranger, I am
assuming according to department regulations concerning the proper
transport and storage of firearms.
With the weapon safely out of sight and out of mind, although
unfortunately not out of reach, Chavez loaded his 3-year-old son into
the vehicle. Since the streets of Los Angeles are so safe to drive
Chavez did not secure the toddler in a child safely seat.
The inquisitive fingers of the boy soon found the weapon while he was
crawling around the vehicle, and that is when the treacherous Glock
fired, hitting the officer in the back.
Chavez is now suing the company claiming the Glock 21 had a light
trigger and lacked a grip safety.
Perhaps, if this suit is successful, we can finally live in a world
where you can hand a toddler a loaded handgun and feel confident you
won't get shot in the back.
*--- Diamond Ring Found 9 Years After Being Flushed ---*
A New Jersey woman was reunited with her diamond encrusted wedding
band almost a decade after accidentally flushing it down her
toilet. Paula Stanton, 60, said she was cleaning her bathroom nine
years ago when the gold ring, which her husband Michael Stanton
had given her to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, slipped
off of her finger. Paula still held on to the hope that she would
find the original, asking Somers Point Public Works Department Crew
Chief Ted Gogol two years ago if he'd ever spotted the ring during
his work. While Gogol initially answered no, the inquiry paid off
when Stanton and her husband arrived home from a Thanksgiving trip
and found a note on their door telling them to contact the public
works department. "I figured they had to work near our house and
had to dig up the yard or something," Stanton told the Press of
Atlantic City. Much to her surprise, Gogol had found the missing
ring while doing routine maintenance on a nearby sewer line. "I was
only in a manhole less than 400 feet away from their house when I
saw something shiny sitting in the mud and debris. I realized it
was a ring, and I remembered the woman who was looking for a ring,"
he said. The couple's initials were inscribed on the inside of the
ring, allowing Gogol to confirm it was Stanton's and return it to
her.
*--- Hotel replaced Bibles with 'Fifty Shades' ---*
CROSTHWAITE, England - The owner of a hotel in Britain said he
replaced the room Bibles with copies of "Fifty Shades of Grey"
to reflect the modern secular society. Jonathan Denby, owner of
the Damson Dene Hotel in Crosthwaite, England, said he decided
to replace the Bibles with copies of E.L. James' erotic novel
because he decided the Bibles were "wholly inappropriate" for
bedrooms in a secular society, NBC News reported Wednesday. "I
was thinking originally of putting in a book by Ayn Rand --
'Atlas Shrugged' was my first thought," Denby said. "(But)
because everybody is reading 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' we thought
it would be a hospitable thing to do, to have this available for
our guests, especially if some of them were a little bit shy
about buying it because of its reputation." The Rev. Michael
Woodcock, who oversees services at St. Mary's Parish Church,
told The Westmoreland Gazette he was dismayed by the hotelier's
decision. "It is a great shame that Bibles have been removed from
rooms and very inappropriate to have been replaced by an explicit
erotic novel," he said. "The Bible remains a source of comfort
and inspiration that many people do find helpful."

...Following is a couple of DUH's...
*--- Woman Breaks Up With Ghost Pirate Husband ---*
A 45-year-old Irish woman married the ghost of an 18th-century
Haitian pirate after the couple met when she felt his presence
laying beside her in bed in 2014. Amanda Teague, from Drogheda,
traveled to international waters to marry her pirate partner Jack
through the means of a medium after telling the spirit that she
was no longer happy to just have casual S. Teague, who has five
children from a previous marriage with a living man, believes she
has found her 'soulmate' in Jack, who was executed over 300 years
ago for theft at sea. The marriage was not to last, however, and
she took to social media to announce their split. "So I feel it's
time to let everyone know that my marriage is over," Teague wrote.
"I will explain all in due course but for now all I want to say is
be VERY careful when dabbling in spirituality, it's not something
to mess with..." [DUH!]
*--- KFC Creates Fried Chicken Scented Fire Log ---*
Kentucky Fried Chicken is getting into the holiday spirit with an
unusual product -- a fire log designed to smell like fried chicken.
The KFC 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog, created in partnership with
Enviro-Log, is designed to emulate the smell of the fast food
chain's Colonel's Secret Recipe chicken. "For more than a million
ears, mankind has been attempting to improve upon the simple fire,"
KFC said on its website. "We've tried burning different things like
sticks or leaves or various incriminating documents. All of that
experimentation, all of that innovation, has culminated in this
event, the KFC 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog," the chain said. The log,
which is available for $18.99 while supplies last, comes with an
important disclaimer: "Please don't put face directly into fire in
attempt to smell fried chicken." [DUH!]

>Visiting Russia
A couple were visiting Russia for the first time. They were taking a
guided tour, and Rudolph, their guide, was very informative about all of
the sights. Unfortunately, about half-way through the tour, the weather
started to take a turn for the worse.
The man commented, "Well, it looks like it's starting to sleet, and
we'll be seeing some snow soon." Their guide said, "No worries, it's
just a little rain. We'll be okay." But the man was insistent that it
was going to snow.
After several minutes of arguing, the man's wife turned to him and said,
"This is getting ridiculous. Rudolph the Red knows rain, Dear."

Last night the wife and I decided to retire to the basement
and build a nice, cozy, little fire to snuggle up next to
and relax.
That's when I discovered I still have something to learn
about building fires. Because about 90 seconds into the
process the basement filled with acrid white smoke which
hung in a thick layer up against the ceiling.
The wife, displaying an unusual amount of calm, asked, "Is
it supposed to do that?"
I scrambled to check and make sure that damper was open
and then pulled the little, glass doors shut, but by then
the damage was done.
I have lit fires in the fireplace before, and while there
is always a little escaped smoke, I have never seen it
billowing out of the fireplace like it did this time.
I opened windows and turned on an exhaust fan while the
wife opened the bottle of wine she had brought down. Then,
eyes stinging from the smoke and our bodies shivering from
the draft, we toasted a nice, romantical evening.
So this morning I looked up the procedure for lighting a
fire in a fireplace (while I should have been working) and
discovered some very helpful tips that I had never thought
of before.
The first is; if you are building a fire in cold weather,
and chances are you are, then the air inside the flue or
chimney is probably cold. Once you start a roaring fire all
of that combustion needs oxygen and it is going to pull it
straight down that cold chimney and right into your room,
along with several cubic meters of wood smoke.
So you have to warm the air in the flue. The page I read
recommended holding some burning newspaper up the flue.
Once the air is warm it will naturally rise instead of
sink, and when you start your fire it will draw air from
the room and send it up the chimney instead of vice versa.
The other tip that made a lot of sense to me was to crack
a window BEFORE you start the fire. And for pretty much the
same reason as above. All of the combustion will be drawing
air from somewhere. If you are in a sealed room the fire
will naturally draw air from the direction of least
resistance, that being down the chimney. Having a window
cracked will allow greater air pressure inside the room than
up the chimney.
There are other tips like; use seasoned wood, make sure the
damper is opened, don't use diesel fuel as an accelerant,
etc, stuff everybody knows, but the two tips I just mentioned
I simply hadn't thought of before and they really made sense
to me once I read them.
So, armed with this new knowledge I am eager to try another
fire, but for the time being we have to let the smell of
smoke inside the house dissipate a bit. Right now it's like
coming home to a log cabin.
But, at least none of the neighbors called the fire department
on us.

was trapped in a small rest room by a faulty lock. When he

worker was called. A bit later, David noticed the door was
closed again. He jiggled the doorknob and a voice from inside
called, "Get me out!"
"Don't worry," David replied, "Maintenance should be sending
somebody."
"They did," said the voice.

While watching my grandson's baseball game, I saw a young
mother with her toddler on one of those child leashes.
She was talking with another mom about an incident that
happened earlier that morning.
Her little Chihuahua was sick, and she had raised people's

her arms and her child on a leash.
All I could think was, "What's wrong with this picture!"

After finishing an out-of-town errand, I discovered that
my car wouldn't start because it was out of gas. A passer-
by told me there was a service station a half-mile away,
so I took a gas can from the trunk and trudged the distance
in the sweltering sun.
The attendant filled my two-gallon can, and I lugged it
back and poured the gas into the tank. But when I tried to
unlock the car door, it wouldn't open. Just then, I noticed
an identical old car parked a short distance away. That was
my car; I had filled a stranger's gas tank.
Wearily I walked back to the station. "You know," the
attendant suggested helpfully, "instead of walking back and
forth to fill the tank from the can, you could put a couple
of gallons in the tank and then drive the car here."

While I was dining in the restaurant of a large hotel, I
heard a loud crash. A waitress had dropped a whole tray of
coffee cups, plates, and dishes. Being only a couple tables
away from her, I felt a stinging pain in my hand where I was
cut from the shattered debris. I was immediately escorted to
the hotel doctor.
"What happened?" he asked.
I said, "I was attacked by a flying saucer."

A co-worker was telling us about her sister who was coming
to visit her for the holidays. Someone asked how old her
sister was, at which she paused, thought for a bit, and
then answered, "She's half as old as I am, that's how I
always remember."
So someone else (okay, it was me) said, "That's neat, So
every year that you age, she only ages half a year?"
My co-worker thought about that, and then said, "Oh, yeah,
I guess it only works on even years."

>THE SYMPTOMS OF INNER PEACE
Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great
many have already been expose to inner peace and it is possible that
people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This
could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable
condition of conflict in the world.
Signs and symptoms of inner peace:
* A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on
fears based on past experiences.
* An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
* A loss of interest in judging other people.
* A loss of interest in judging self.
* A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
* A loss of interest in conflict.
* A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious
symptom.)
* Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
* Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
* Frequent attacks of smiling.
* An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than
make them happen.
* An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others
as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
WARNING: If you have some or all of the above symptoms,
please be advised that your condition of inner peace may be
so far advanced as to not be curable. If you are exposed to
anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed only
at your own risk.

From Hillsdale College:
Early in his presidency, President Donald Trump highlighted the
importance of our "Western tradition"—meaning the foundation of Western
Civilization—in a speech to the people of Poland. The media took issue
with the phrase "Western tradition," accusing him of promoting an "alt-
right manifesto" that only celebrates dead white men.
While the media reacts strongly to anything Trump says, this particular
response shows that there is a great misunderstanding of the meaning of
Western heritage and its foundations.
You cannot call yourself educated unless you know the story of Western
Civilization. That is why we are offering our free online course,
"Western Heritage."

The classic Christmas song “O Holy Night” performed live in London by
André Rieu & His Johann Strauss Orchestra. There are so many ways for
musical groups to perform this song and this performance by André Rieu
is certainly pleasing to the audience.

Bob Hope was without a doubt one of the greatest entertainers of all
time. A wonderful look at some special moments Bob spent with the troops
during his many Christmas performances. What a classic entertainer he
was and I’m sure that anyone that ever saw him perform live will never
forget the show. Thank You to all the Veterans that ever spent a
Christmas away from their family and to Bob Hope for spending his
Christmas with the troops.
