I just realized something; it just hit me!My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
He has his food prepared for him.His meals are provided at no cost to him.He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, andhe again visits during the year, if any medicalneeds arise.
He pays nothing for this, and nothing is requiredof him.He lives in a nice neighborhoodHe lives in a house that is much larger than heneeds.
He is not required to do any upkeep.If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.He receives these accommodations absolutelyfree.He is living like a king, and has absolutely noexpenses whatsoever.
All of his costs are picked up by others who earna living.
I was just thinking about all this and suddenly ithit me like a ton of bricksMy dog is a POLITICIAN!

A middle-aged couple had finally learned how tosend and receive texts on their cell phones. The
wife, being a romantic at heart, decided one
day that she'd send her husband a text while shewas out of the house having coffee with a friend.She texted:
If you are sleeping, send me your dreams.If you are laughing, send me your smile.If you are eating, send me a bite.If you are drinking, send me a sip.If you are crying, send me your tears.I love you.The husband, being a no-nonsense sort of guy,
texted back:
I'm on the toilet. Please advise.

A woman stopped by, unannounced, at her son'shouse. She knocked on the door then immediatelywalked in.She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lyingon the couch, totally naked. Soft music was
playing, and the aroma of perfume filled the room."What are you doing?!" she asked."I'm waiting for Mike to come home from work,"
the daughter-in-law answered."But you're naked!" the mother-in-law exclaimed."This is my love dress," the daughter-in-lawexplained."Love dress? But you're naked!""Mike loves me and wants me to wear this dress,"she explained. "It excites him to no end. Every time
he sees me in this dress, he instantly becomesromantic and ravages me for hours on end. Hecan't get enough of me"The mother-in-law left.
When she got home, she undressed, showered, puton her best perfume, dimmed the lights, put on a
romantic CD, and lay on the couch, waiting for herhusband to arrive.Finally, her husband came home. He walked in andsaw her lying there so provocatively."What are you doing?" he asked."This is my love dress," she whispered sensually."Needs ironing," he said. "What's for dinner?
He never heard the gunshot.

An amusing and sarcastic complaint letter to aCaribbean airline is making headlines this weekafter being spotted by Sir Richard Branson.The open letter, by Arthur Hicks to LIAT (Leeward
Islands Air Transport) caught the attention of theinternational media after being blogged by the
Virgin founder.
Here's what the letter said:Dear LIAT:May I say how considerate it is of you to enable
your passengers such an in-depth and thoroughtour of the Caribbean.Most other airlines I have travelled on wouldsimply wish to take me from point A to B in rathera hurry.
I was intrigued that we were allowed to stop atnot a lowly one or two but a magnificent sixairports yesterday.
And who wants to fly on the same airplane theentire time? We got to change and refuel everystep of the way!
I particularly enjoyed sampling the securityscanners at each and every airport. I find it
preposterous that people imagine them all to bethe same.And as for being patted down by a variety ofislanders, well, I feel as if I've been hugged by mostof the Caribbean already.
I also found it unique that this was all done on'island time', because I do like to have time toabsorb the atmosphere of the various departurelounges.
As for our arrival, well, who wants to have to takea ferry at the end of all that flying anyway?
I'm glad the boat was long gone by the time wearrived into Tortola last night and that all thosenoisy bars and restaurants were closed.So thank you, LIAT. I now truly understand why
you are 'The Caribbean Airline'.
P.S. Keep the bag. I never liked it anyway.

CMS DEFINITELY NOT THE NEWS!Because rumour, gossip, hearsay and anecdotes are just sooo much more fun!
HEARTBREAKING!The El Carey Restaurant on Costambar Beach wasburnt to the ground in what police have confirmedwas a case of arson. The first attempt to burn it wasunsuccessful. One of Costambars, if not the NorthCoasts, iconic establishments (it started asRobertos), this place holds many memories for oldtimers as well as newcomers.Whatever the motivation for this evil and cowardly
act, and there are many rumours and theoriesswirling around out there, actions like these onlyhurt our community and any attempts to grow andthrive. We hope the perpetrators are found andseverely punished.This follows the burning of the beach chairs ofanother Costambar beach business.
HEARTWARMING!And then the people of this community showed whothey truly are! Dozens of people from allnationalities and other local business showed up toshow support for El Careys tragedy and proceededto clean up the wreckage in record time. They didthis voluntarily and of their own volition. No oneasked them to. They just wanted to. And manydidnt even personally know the owners. They
cleaned away the debris and power washed away thesoot, working all day so that Kevin & Patricia couldget to work as soon as possible rebuilding theirbusiness. And many others donated financially tohelp them start all over. Kind words and supportcame from everywhere.This is the real Costambar! And if we always behavein this manner, supporting and helping each other,then we will become a stronger and bettercommunity.If you are interested in donating please contactSylvia McGinnis. You can email her at
smcginnis@sasktel.net. Canadians can email moneydirectly to her. She also has PayPal and even if youdont have PayPal she can make it work. You can callher at 809-848-9009 or drop by her restaurant SylsPlace on calle Principal in Costambar.Working together we can rise from the ashes of thistragedy!
MORE TRASH TALK!Costambar Monthly was provided with what looks likethe official resolution of the garbage rates byAyuntamiento. At this point it looks like the rateswill be as follows:
residence RD$300, apartmentRD$200, large commercialbusiness RD$400 and smallcommercial business RD$250Well keep you posted ifanything changes.
KEEPING YOU POSTED ON HOW COSTAMBAR GETS WIRED!Work began on wiring up all those pretty new electricity posts late in August. They seem to bemaking good progress and it will be interesting to see how this effects not only the length of timewe are without power but the quality of that power. We can at the very least hope that a newelectrical infrastructure will mean less unscheduled outtages.

During her physical examination, a doctor asked amiddle-aged woman about her physical activitylevel. The woman said she spent 3 days a week,
every week in the outdoors."Well, yesterday afternoon was typical; I took afive hour walk about 7 miles through some prettyrough terrain. I waded along the edge of a lake. Ipushed my way through 2 miles of brambles. I gotsand in my shoes and my eyes. I barely avoidedstepping on a snake. I climbed several rocky hills. I
went to the bathroom behind some big trees. I ranaway from an irate mother bear and then ranaway from one angry bull Elk. The mental stress ofit all left me shattered. At the end of it all I drank a
scotch and three glasses of wine.Amazed by the story, the doctor said, "You mustbe one hell of an outdoors woman!"No," the woman replied, "I'm just a really, reallyshitty golfer".

This is a story of self-control and marksmanship
by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistolagainst a fierce predator. What is the smallestcaliber that you would trust to protect yourself?
A Beretta Jetfire testimonial.Here is her story:While out walking along the edge of a bayou justbelow Houma, Louisiana, with my soon to be ex-
husband discussing property settlement and otherdivorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft.alligator suddenly emerging from the murky waterand charging us with its large jaws wide open.She must have been protecting her nest becauseshe was extremely aggressive. If I had not had mylittle Beretta Jetfire .25 caliber pistol with me, I
would not be here today! Just one shot to myestranged husband's knee cap was all it took. Thegator got him easily and I was able to escape by
just walking away at a brisk pace. It's one of thebest pistols in my collection! Plus ... the amount Isaved in lawyer's fees was more than worth the
purchase price of the gun.
