THIS should be interesting to listen to when the dude gets it available!!

Not a song selection for the faint of heart!!!

Delfino- that guitar looks sweet, are you bidding for it?

Michelle- thankyou, positives vibes really do help!! :-)

moved to the new school. change sux....but cool. i hate my dorm. Its been nicknamed the "dirty south" and my roommate is a republican.....grrrr.

will catch up when I have the time. For now, I am a million pages behind.

Webmaster, can you please post a message about Joe's health?

mikesb, I just checked at cduniverse to see if they have Spectrum. They have it for $14.something. I thought hmmm, wonder if they have it at my favorite DVD store on the net, so I went there. I just bought it for $10.80 with no S&H :) deepdiscountdvd is the bomb! lol! As for my husband & kids helping out... my husband put away the box of nic-nacs I had taken down to put up Christmas stuff. Well, I figured he put it up with the empty Christmas boxes. Nope. He has no idea where he put the damn box with all the pictures and stuff in it. LOL! He moved it while I was at work. He keeps asking me what *I* did with it. He usually helps much better than that. lol! My kids also help...when I threaten them with death or dismemberment. lol! No, they actually do chores, but I still get the majority of housework. I could really use something that will knock the dust off the high places. lol!

Adrián, thanks :)

Jazzy, good luck in the dirty south. LMAO! Dude, welcome to the world of living with a republican. My husband is one too. He's like an alien when we talk politics, which we don't do much. We're so opposite it isn't even funny, but he's my best bud in the world, so it's all good.

Happy first Monday of the year! More to follow...

Hey Joe.

Long time fan (since 1988 - "Surfing"). Own all your albums and have converted many to your sound. I've never seen you live so when the ListMaster sent me an email informing me of the House Of Blues gig, I bought the tickets (3 months in advance), booked time off work and arrived in Vegas after a 6 hour road trip from SLC, UT with my wife in tow. I showed up at the House Of Blues at 5:30pm to pick up my tickets, and it was there I learned the show was cancelled due to illness.

AAHHHHH!

Joe, as I mentioned I'm a long time fan, but I have to say that I was very disappointed and angry. More than seeing you live, I was really expecting to "convert" my wife to your sound through this concert.

Hey, if you want to make it up to me, I'll gladly accept a 1 hour guitar lesson or a concert in my home town with free tickets.

Get well soon.

Senior Moments

Three old people are out walking.

First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"

Second one says, "No, its Thursday!"

Third one says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer."

A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid.

It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect."

"Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"

"Twelve thirty."

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.

A few days later the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.

A couple of days later the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?" Morris replied,

"Just doing what you said, Doc:

'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"

The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur. Be careful.'"

An old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.

The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE TEST

Count the "F's" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...(see below)

Scroll down only after you have counted them. Do you think there are three?

Wrong, there are 6 !!--no joke. Read it again. The reasoning behind it is further down.

Michelle - My wife has not been able to finish it either. The guy that wrote the letter I 'call' my cousin' but in reality is the husband of my wifes cousin. We are pretty close and our kids are about the same age. It is hard to deal with at times. They are actually doing better with the whole situation then we are. He is a soldier,an officer, and she is a soldiers wife. He has been in the military for some time. So, it is something they have been preparing for. Plus they have that sense of duty. We just hope that he makes back ok.

On a lighter note, did you give your daughter any bat themed presents for X-mas? I would not have been able to contain myself if she were my daughter. It would have been Bat-O-Rama around the ol' homestead.

Joey........how ya feelin....better...I hope?

Peace!

mikesb,

He looks the part...let's see if he can even clean Joe's shoes?

Keep me informed...if you wouldn't mind?

Thanks,

Steve

I just finished the 1st 73 minute long cuts that will comprise my 2nd Album....I'm very excited about the new material.

It's more Satch oriented than the 1st CD.

Sex, Dogs and Chickens -- Weird Headlines of 2004

LONDON (Reuters) - Humming sex toy shuts Australian airport. Taiwanese man tries to convert lions to Jesus, gets bitten.

Talking toilet orders German men to sit down. Chinese get busy signal on Beijing suicide line.

Judging by the bizarre headlines that greeted readers around the world, 2004 was a bumper year for the weird and wacky.

Canadian guide dog barred for only answering its master's commands in French. Japanese boy writes apology in blood for dozing in class.

The list is endless, living proof that truth is all too often stranger than fiction.

A vibrating sex toy chucked into a rubbish bin at an Australian airport sparked a security alert that only ended when an embarrassed passenger came forward to claim what was identified as "an adult novelty device."

A fervent evangelist who leapt into the lions' den at Taipei zoo and shouted "Jesus will save you" was lucky to escape with just a bite in the right leg when he tried to convert the king of beasts to Christianity.

Feeling suicidal in Beijing? Then be patient.

Nine out of 10 Chinese calling into a suicide-prevention hotline were greeted by an engaged signal.

When it comes to quirky ideas, man's ingenuity knows no bounds.

A German inventor came up with a best-selling gadget that berates men if they try to use the toilet standing up, telling them: "Put the seat back down right away, you are definitely not to pee standing up."

The Germans have been accused of being a deadly serious people with a severe sense of humor failure.

But several surreal tales that would not look out of place in a Monty Python sketch prove they can laugh at themselves.

German police arrested a flasher who stumbled over his dropped trousers during an aborted attempt to flee.

A cost-cutting German theater was berated for using just four dwarves instead of seven in their Snow White show.

A survey revealed that most German men wear the wrong size condoms. Germans said they find smelly co-workers to be the most annoying aspect of their jobs.

Britain had its share of oddities too.

UK nursing home staff were so proud of a 105-year-old woman who had smoked since the age of 15 that they cremated her with a packet of her favorite cigarettes in the coffin.

A British train conductor stamped and carefully returned the ticket of a slumbering passenger without realizing the man was dead. A South African radio reporter went a little more live than he anticipated when he was mugged on air for his cellphone while transmitting from a squatter settlement.

Romance certainly had its rough patches in 2004.

A Norwegian court acquitted a man accused of raping a sleeping woman after he said he was also asleep at the time.

All three wives of a 67-year-old Iranian man took overdoses in an unsuccessful triple suicide bid after the youngest wife sparked jealousy by buying an expensive pair of boots.

A Malaysian man shot his wife dead after he mistook her for a monkey picking fruit behind their house.

A Spaniard tried to have his wife charged with domestic abuse because she refused to have sex with him on five consecutive nights.

Two Italians with the nicknames Bull Shark and Nurse Shark donned bubble-helmet immersion suits to get married in a shark tank.

But from Latin America to Africa, tainted love turned twice to tragedy.

A Mexican man killed his lover in a drunken, drugged fight and then cooked the man's body in tomato and onion sauce and ate it over three days.
