she and her husband are thinking of Sudoku<br />
<strong>The</strong> rules of Sudoku are simple.<br />
<br />
Place a digit from 1 to 9 in each empty cell so<br />

contains the digits 1 to 9. Have <strong>Fun</strong>!!!<br />
sleeping in on weekends, no more<br />
<br />
not what I meant at all. I look at my<br />
daughter, trying to decide what to tell<br />
her. I want her to know what she will<br />
never learn in childbirth classes. I want<br />
to tell her that the physical wounds of<br />
child bearing will heal, but becoming a<br />
mother will leave her with an emotional<br />
wound so raw that she will forever be<br />
vulnerable. I consider warning her that<br />
she will never again read a newspaper<br />
<br />
<br />
every house fire will haunt her. That<br />
when she sees pictures of starving<br />
children, she will wonder if anything<br />
could be worse than watching your<br />
child die.<br />
I look at her carefully manicured nails<br />

We had so many cucumbers we were<br />
having trouble finding different ways to<br />
use them up. Neither my mother nor I<br />
wanted to make one huge batch of<br />
<br />
<br />
books for new and interesting ideas.<br />
After hours of work, we had whittled the<br />
piles down to a manageable level. Finally<br />
I found yet another relatively simple<br />
recipe and showed it to Mom. She<br />
started laughing. She had contributed it<br />
to a community book published for fund<br />
-raising and had later bought a copy to<br />
help out. She had forgotten the recipe<br />

We have a new employee at the local<br />
Home Depot. He just moved here from<br />
Mexico and has proven to be very<br />
knowledgeable and helpful to the sawdust<br />
challenged like myself. Yesterday I<br />
needed his guidance after ruining several<br />
pieces of wood with my newly purchased<br />
belt sander. A fast trip to the<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
office for my routine checkup, and from<br />
there we decided to go out to eat.<br />
Since we had driven in separate cars, I<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
forgotten about my appearance. Anybody<br />
could see that I was at least 8 1/2<br />
months pregnant.<br />

Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids<br />
Did you know : Feline Leukemia and Aids are two of the most common infectious diseases<br />
associated with illness and death among cats? Both these diseases impair the immune sys-<br />
<br />
Both diseases are prevalent in Creston.<br />
Did you know : Feline leukemia is transmitted through sneezing, licking, biting, and even<br />
from shared food and water dishes or litter boxes? If your cat goes outside, they are at risk.<br />
Did you know : Feline Aids is carried in the blood and transmitted through bite wounds<br />
inflicted during fights especially for male cats? Even neutered or spayed cats that venture<br />
outside could be bitten by an aggressive, roaming feline.<br />
Cats that contract feline leukemia or feline Aids may show symptoms such as unexplained<br />
weight loss, recurring infections, skin disorders, swollen glands, anemia, respiratory and<br />
<br />
immune system may allow a variety of secondary diseases to take hold.<br />
Many cats may be symptom free for many years, but still pose a threat to other cats,<br />
as they are carriers of the infection.<br />
Have your cat tested for both these diseases for the discounted price of only $64.04<br />
in the month of May. (a Savings of $20.00) Includes Blood collection, Feline Leukemia<br />
(Felv), and Feline Aids (FIV) test.<br />
