THE LAWS OF LIFE
Law of Mechanical Repair
After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch or you’ll have to pee.

Law of the Workshop
Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

Law of Probability
The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

Law of the Telephone
If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal.

Law of the Alibi
If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire.

Variation Law
If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will start to move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

Law of the Bath
When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings

Law of Close Encounters
The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don’t want to be seen with.

Law of the Result
When you try to prove to someone that a machine won’t work, it will.

Law of Biomechanics
The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Law of the Theater
At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last.

Law of Coffee
As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

Murphy’s Law of Lockers
If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

Law of Rugs/Carpets
The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor covering are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet/rug.

Law of Location
No matter where you go, there you are.

Law of Logical Argument
Anything is possible if you don’t know what you are talking about.

Brown’s Law
If the shoe fits, it’s ugly.

Oliver’s Law
A closed mouth gathers no feet.

Wilson’s Law
As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it. (This one is true every time!)

Doctors’ Law
If you don’t feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you’ll be fine.

Family History for Darryl, Michael and Christopher Herbert Dec. 11, 1988 -THE HERBERT’S PAST PRESENT & FUTURE

PLEASE WAIT A FEW MOMENTS FOR VIDEO TO LOAD. THIS VIDEO WAS PUT TOGETHER BY FLETCHER AND MYSELF (MARY) IN DECEMBER, 1988 FOR OUR SONS AND FOR ALL OF THE FAMILY TO HAVE AND TO REFER TO, NOW AND LATER ON IN LIFE. WE GATHERED OUR PHOTOS -100’s  AND BORROWED MANY OTHERS TO MAKE THIS VIDEO. THERE WERE PHOTO’S LAID OUT ALL OVER THE LIVING AND DINING ROOM CHAIRS AND FLOORS. WE TAPED OURSELVES WITH VERBAL HISTORY GOING BACK TO 1820 TO THEIR GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDPARENTS AND THEN PULLED IT ALL TOGETHER SHOWING PHOTOS OF GRANDPARENTS (BOTH SIDES), AUNTS, UNCLES, COUSINS, AND ALSO SOME OF OUR PETS.  THE PHOTOS ARE OF EVENTS AND CELEBRATIONS IN OUR LIVES, ETC. THIS WAS THEN SET TO MUSIC WITH THE HELP OF FAMILY FRIEND, PHILADELPHIA VIDEOGRAPHER, TED PENDERGRAST.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS BIT OF HISTORY SET TO MUSIC AND RECOGNIZE SOME OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS.

FIRST DAY OF SPRING — MARCH 20, 2015

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!

THANK GOD FOR THIS DAY WHICH HE HAS MADE.  HERE IN PHILADELPHIA, PA WE ARE HAVING SNOW TODAY AND THE  CROCUS ARE BLOOMING.  WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW WHEN THE SNOW WILL MELT ACCORDING TO THE WEATHER REPORT. 

GOD IS SO AMAZING, HE IS RIGHT ON TIME!

WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR, IN SPITE OF THE STATE OF THE UNION AND LACK OF MOVEMENT BY SOME OF OUR LEGISLATURES IN CONGRESS  AND THE SENATE.  BUT WE MUST REMEMBER AND PREPARE TO VOTE AND SPEAK OUT TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES SO THAT OUR VOICES CAN BE HEARD.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

MY PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY IS THAT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH OVER AND BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US — THE MEMBERS OF THE WILSON LAKE HERBERT FAMILY WHEREVER WE MAY BE AT THIS TIME.  WE PRAY THAT GOD WILL KEEP US SAFE AND GUIDE US IN OUR DAILY LIVES.  WE PRAY THAT FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE SICK AND SHUT IN THAT GOD WILL HEAL US AND RELIEVE US OF ANY PAIN AND SUFFERING WE MAY HAVE AND THAT WE’LL BE BLESSED WITH GOOD HEALTH.  FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE IN NEED OF A FINANCIAL BLESSING, WE PRAY THAT GOD WILL TURN THAT AROUND AND SUPPLY US WITH ALL OUR NEEDS AND BLESS US ABUNDANTLY. 

WE PRAY THAT GOD WILL CHANGE THE HEARTS OF OUR HATERS AND SOME OF THE LEADERS IN WASHINGTON, DC AND GIVE OTHERS WHO WE VOTED FOR THE COURAGE THEY NEED TO STAND UP ON BEHALF OF THE AVERAGE PERSON.  WE PRAY THAT THE TERRORISTS AROUND THE WORLD REFRAIN FROM HARMING INNOCENT MEN,    WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

WE PRAY THAT GOD WILL KEEP A HEDGE OF PROTECTION OVER OUR FAMILY AND THAT HE WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS AND KEEP OUR PRESIDENT-  PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AND HIS FAMILY. 

WE THANK GOD FOR ALL THESE BLESSINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  AMEN

I’m Thankful for You
Thanksgiving is the appointed time
for focusing on the good in our lives.
In each of our days,
we can find small blessings,
but too often we overlook them,
choosing instead to spend our time
paying attention to problems.
We give our energy
to those who cause us trouble
instead of those who bring peace.
Starting now,
let’s be on the lookout
for the bits of pleasure in each hour,
and appreciate the people who
bring love and light to everyone
who is blessed to know them.
You are one of those people.
On Thanksgiving,
I’m thankful for you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
By Joanna Fuchs

WISHING OUR FAMILY A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING DAY AND WEEKEND AS WE GIVE THANKS FOR WHAT GOD HAS BESTOWED UPON US. 

PRAYING FOR GOOD HEALTH AND WELL BEING FOR ALL.
