MATTHEW GLOWACZ

Houston Power coach John Glowacz, who lost his son, Matthew, in a traffic accident, sent the following message:  Our Power organization is constructing a Matthew Glowacz Memorial featuring two Disappearing Water Fountains showing Matthew's relationship with God.  We are also going to start a scholarship fund as well in his name as he followed me and my daughter around the country all these years.  Anyone who would like to donate to the Memorial can do so.

 

SHORT HONEYMOON

A relative had the shortest honeymoon I know; ala Sonny Corleone, he was caught upstairs in bed with a bridesmaid – during the reception!  Washington Post was civil to President Bush on Wednesday when the issue was in some doubt; respectful on Thursday in offering advice on his second term; and incorrigibly scathing on Friday while several columnists recited all the reasons voters made a bad choice.  Poor Kerry.  Two weeks ago, dozens of newspapers and magazines endorsed him as intelligent, courageous, insightful, etc., the only choice to lead America.  Now, they editorialize about what a poor choice he was, even blame his defeat in part on his wife.

 

GIVE ME A BREAK!

Jude Law as Alfie.  He couldn’t pick up a woman with any sophistication unless he was driving a taxi in a thunderstorm.

DR PHIL’S TEST

CONTRIBUTED BY Ronnie Lombard

Dr. Phil's Test:

Here ya go .. try this. Below is Dr. Phil's test. (Dr. Phil scored 55; he did this test on Oprah; she got a 38.) Some folks pay a lot of money to find this stuff out. Read on, this is very interesting!

Don't be overly sensitive! The following is pretty accurate and it only takes 2 minutes. Take this test for yourself and send it to your friends.
The person who sent it placed their score in the subject box. Please do the same before forwarding to your friends. (send it back to the person who sent it to you) Don't peek but begin the test as you scroll down and answer. Answers are for who you are now...... not who you were in the past. Have pen or pencil and paper ready. This is a real test given by the Human Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations today. It helps them get better insight concerning their employees and prospective employees. It's only 10 simple questions, so.....
grab a pencil and paper, keeping track of your letter answers to each question.
Make sure to change the subject of the e-mail to read YOUR total. When you are finished, forward this to friends/family, and also send it to the person who sent this to you. Make sure to put YOUR score in the subject box.

Now add up the total number of points.
OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.
