Letters to Juliet!
I recently read the book Letters to Juliet by Lise and Ceil Friedman. It was about a group of volunteers in Verona, Italy who respond to thousands of letters each year sent there to the most famous herione of William Shakeseare's play's Romeo and Juliet. People have been sending letters there to Julet asking for advice usually about there love lives among other things. It was an informative book about the history of the secretaries to Juliet and about the play and Verona itself. The sample letters in the book made me both cry and laugh. The book came with a piece of stationary paper and an envelope. I wrote my own letter and intend to send it shortly. The webstite to get contact info about the Club Di Guilietta- The Juliet Club and learn more about them is www.Julietclub.com well worth a read is the book and definatly recommend writing to them.

Drifting into the Depths
Drifting into the Depths
Drifting fast into the deep blue water
All around me pulling me down
Oh how I would give anything to be lifted
As I feel I can not
Struggling hard as life takes its toll
Forever fearing what I know I shan’t
Never think about yesterday; that is easy
Never think about tomorrow; harder to do
Stay in the present never wander
I can’t for I am in constant limbo
Worry, worry all I do
Can no one break my awful fall?
Is there a being to raise me from the depths?
To save my soul, my body and mind
To be forever thanked for the gift they give me
My life put straight
I learned that I must dig and claw my way out
Of the nightmarish hole
It is my burden and my salvation
To do so
In the depths I see the shadows
But above I see the sliver of light
Go down further where I may never get out
Or claw and fight to light above
The decision is simple
But the aide to my ordeal
Has yet to show it’s self
But it is faith that tells me they are close
I can’t see them or feel them
Yet I know they are there
I shall soon see them in the murky waters
Lending a hand and bringing me out
That shall be the day I leave the depths and reemerge
To the light of the world
To be able to revile in the simplicity of all around
To be in the arms of my protector
Drifting fast into the deep blue water
All around me pulling me down
Oh how I would give anything to be lifted
As I feel I can not
Struggling hard as life takes its toll
Forever fearing what I know I shan’t
Never think about yesterday; that is easy
Never think about tomorrow; harder to do
Stay in the present never wander
I can’t for I am in constant limbo
Worry, worry all I do
Can no one break my awful fall?
Is there a being to raise me from the depths?

To be able to revile in the simplicity of all around
To be in the arms of my protector

In and Out of Time
In and Out of time
The sun has come
the mists have gone
we see in the distance
our long way home
I was always yours to have
you were always mine
we have loved each other
in and out of time
When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I have always loved you more
You freed your braids
gave your hair to the breeze
it hung like a hive of honey bees
I reached in the mass
for the sweet honeycomb there
Hah
God how I loved your hair
You saw me bludgened by circumstance
lost, injured, hurt by chance
I screamed to the Heavens
loudly screamed
trying to change our nightmares
into dreams
The sun has come
the mists have gone
we see in the distance
our long way home
I was yours to have
and you were always mine
we loved each other
in and out, in and out, in and out of time
Maya Angelou

The Strangest Wal Mart Customer
Dear Mrs. Denner,
Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behaviour and may be forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Denner are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.
June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.
July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House-wares to go off at 5-minute intervals
July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.
July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, "Code 3 in House-wares. Get on it right away."
August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on layaway.
September 14: Moved a "CAUTION - WET FLOOR" sign to a carpeted area.
September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department.
September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
December 6: In the auto department, he practiced his "Madonna look" by using different sizes of funnels.
December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled "PICK ME! PICK ME!"
December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fatal position and screamed "OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!"
December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, "Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!"
Once again we cannot tolerate this behaviour in our store.
Regards, Wal-Mart

Alligators in the Pool
A CEO throwing a party takes his executives on a tour of his opulent mansion. In the back of the property, the CEO has the largest swimming pool any of them has ever seen.
The huge pool, however, is filled with hungry alligators.
The CEO says to his executives "I think an executive should be measured by courage. Courage is what made me CEO. So this is my challenge to each of you: if anyone has enough courage to dive into the pool, swim through those alligators, and make it to the other side, I will give that person anything they desire. My job, my money, my house, anything!"
Everyone laughs at the outrageous offer and proceeds to follow the CEO on the tour of the estate. Suddenly, they hear a loud splash. Everyone turns around and sees the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) in the pool, swimming for his life. He dodges the alligators left and right and makes it to the edge of the pool with seconds to spare. He pulls himself out just as a huge alligator snaps at his shoes.
The flabbergasted CEO approaches the CFO and says, "You are amazing. I've never seen anything like it in my life. You are brave beyond measure and anything I own is yours. Tell me what I can do for you.
The CFO, panting for breath, looks up and says, "You can tell me who the hell pushed me in the pool!"

Best Known Man In the World!
Well Sulio's boss thinks for a minute and then comes up with a name. "Tom Selleck! I bet you don't know Tom Selleck!" Sulio says "Tom Selleck! Tom and I were in boy scouts together when we were kids!" but Sulio's boss says "No you weren't!" then Sulio says "Yes we were!" so they fly to Hollywood and drive up to Tom Selleck's house. Sulio knocks on the door and Tom Selleck answers and Sulio goes "Tom!!!" and Tom goes "Sulio!" and they hug and catch up for 30 minutes and Sulio's boss can't believe it. But then he thinks "Well that could happen, it's just one person," so he tells Sulio and Sulio says "OK, pick somebody else!"
This time Sulio's boss has someone in mind! "The president, Bill Clinton! You don't know Bill Clinton!" but Sulio says "Oh yes I do! Bill and I were on debate team together in college!" Sulio's boss says "No you weren't!" and Sulio says "Yes we were!" so they fly to Washington and they catch up with the President at a press conference. They work their way through the crowd until Sulio get's close enough to catch Clinton's eye and waves "Bill!" and the President waves "Sulio!" and after the press conference they hug and catch up for 30 minutes and Sulio's boss is stunned-- he can't believe it. But then he thinks "Well that's just two people in one country-- that doesn't mean he knows everyone in the whole world!" so he tells Sulio and Sulio says "OK, pick someone out of the world spectrum and I know them!"
And Sulio's boss knows just who to pick so he says "The Pope! You do not know the Pope!" and Sulio says "The Pope! The Pope BAPTIZED me!" and Sulio's boss says "No he didn't!" and Sulio says "Yes he did!" so they fly to Rome where the Pope is giving Mass in front of hundreds of thousands of people. They work their way through the crowd-- without much luck-- so Sulio says "Boss, we're never gonna get there together through all these people so I tell you what--I'll work my way up there and when I do, I'll give you a sign that shows you I know the Pope!" and he leaves. Well Sulio's boss waits and waits and waits and just when he's about to give up, he sees the Pope come out onto the balcony and right there beside him is Sulio!
Shortly afterwards, Sulio's boss passes out. Sulio comes back and finds his boss passed out and he fans him and says "Boss! Boss! Wake up!" and when his boss comes to, he asks "Boss what happened?" Sulio's boss looks at Sulio and says "OK, I can see Tom Selleck. I can see Bill Clinton...hell, I can even take the Pope! But when somebody standing next to me asks 'Who's that up there with Sulio?' that's a little more than I can take!
This time Sulio's boss has someone in mind! "The president, Bill Clinton! You don't know Bill Clinton!" but Sulio says "Oh yes I do! Bill and I were on debate team together in college!" Sulio's boss says "No you weren't!" and Sulio says "Yes we were!" so they fly to Washington and they catch up with the President at a press conference.
