08/31/09 Grif.Net – Man Rules

Now it’s time for the man’s rules. We always hear “the rules” for the
feminine side. OK. We are now going to hear the rules from the man’s side.
These are our rules!
Please note these are all numbered “1″ on purpose. [Copied, the original
source is unknown . . or more likely in hiding]
1. Learn [...]

08/29/09 Weekend Grif.Net – Fathers

[Came across a humdinger of a blog article. Was even MORE startled when I
saw who wrote it - a ditzy blonde actress of Saturday Night Live fame. But
what she said was spot on.]
Cheetos (Poor People Need Fathers Not Government Programs)

I’m sitting in a waiting room. I’m waiting for my auditioning squad to
execute [...]

08/28/09 Grif.Net – Truism Week, 5

[Some noticed two little icons at the bottom of recent grif.net messages.
These are "counter" boxes, to show the popularity of the grif.net web site.
No need to ever click on them, although they will contain a list of 1000 top
"Baptist" or "Christian" sites, many of which are VERY good] We’re testing
it out to see value [...]

08/27/09 Grif.Net – Truism Week, 4

The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they
had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the
restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then
estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a
large amount of food. [...]

Grif.net – Truism Week, 3

Do YOU have favorites? We will have grif.net readers share on Friday.]
 
There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
 I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to [...]

08/25/09 Grif.Net – Truism Week, 2

[Day 2. All true, some more than others. Thanks to BJ for collecting these
and passing them on. Do YOU have favorites? We will have grif.net readers
share on Friday.]
While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively
swerved to avoid it.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I [...]

08/24/09 Grif.Net – Truism Week, 1

[All true... Some more than others. Thanks to BJ for collecting these and
passing them on. Do YOU have favorite questions or statements? We will have
grif.net readers share on Friday]
The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This
recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will [...]

08/22/09 Weekend Grif.Net – Long Live the Queen

Big hubbub this past week on Mrs. Obama’s “shorts” when vacationing in
Wyoming and Arizona. Not an issue for me, compared to the MILLIONS of
dollars she is spending on her White House staff. From a Canadian news link
-
“There has never been anyone in the White House at any time that has created
such an army [...]

08/21/09 Grif.Net – Lawn Mower

[Ivan, a preacher in Illinois, sent this bit of humor]
A preacher was making his rounds to his parishioners on a bicycle, when he
came upon a little boy trying to sell a lawn mower. “How much do you want
for the mower?” asked the preacher.
“I just want enough money to go out and buy me a [...]

08/20/09 Grif.Net – Life’s Great Questions

[Some of these are new; some are as old as Iowa and twice as corny, but I
found myself laughing again. Maybe you will, too]
If you throw a cat out of a car window does it become kitty litter?
If there is no God, who pops up the next Kleenex in the box?
Why do they put [...]

08/19/09 Grif.Net – Odd Books & Authors

08/18/09 Grif.Net – Hotter than ??

The temperature of Heaven may be accurately computed. Our authority is
Isaiah 30:26, “Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the
Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven
days.”
Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun,
and in [...]
