Wonders

Do you ever wonder if it is all worth it? Do you ever wonder if time really exists? Do you ever wonder if you're being told the truth? Do you ever wonder if your bedroom is a fire risk? Do you ever wonder if you're developing normally? Do you ever wonder if you have enough insurance? Do you ever wonder if you are doing the right thing? Do you ever wonder if all that working out is working for you? Do you ever wonder if you are who you are suppossed to be? Do you ever wonder if your pets enjoy the music you listen to? Do you ever wonder if your weight problem could be hereditary? Do you ever wonder if your mom might run away with a younger man? Do you ever wonder if you're already dead and this is just your life flashing before your eyes? Do you ever wonder if we make the moments in our lives or if the moments in our lives make us? Do you ever wonder how our lives would be different if the Twin Towers hadn't been attacked on 9/11?

Fargo Flood 2009

Vince Lombardi quotations
applied to Fargo Flood 2009.

Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.


The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.


Success demands singleness of purpose.


Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.


The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.


The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.

Mylah's Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Here is an easy recipe for the best cookies in the kitchen: Let 2 sticks of unwrapped butter come to room temperature in a large bowl. Then mix in 3/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup white sugar, 2 eggs (without shells), 1 teaspoon hot water, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Separately mix together one and a half (1.5) cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well. Then add in semi-sweet chocolate chips (either 2 small bags, or 1 larger bag), and 2 cups (or a little more) of quick-cooking oatmeal, and finally 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (optional, of course). After stirring it all together well, use two common tablespoons: one to scoop out a golfball sized chunk of (tasty & edible) dough, and another spoon to push it off onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 12 minutes until golden brownish. Enjoy with milk!

Yes We Kenya

Ideas, Thoughts, and Observations:

The letters in "PRESIDENT OBAMA"
can all be re-arranged to spell:
"BAD PERMEATIONS".
Why not pass a law, only allowing the stock market to go up? Why not raise the minimum wage to $30/hour? Why not end term limits for a president? Why not replace Big Business with Big Government? Why not? In Obama We Trust? Why not? Just show us your valid birth certificate. Why not?

H B 2 U

Birthday Wishes from Us to the MB© VP & CO.

SMiles: On behalf of U2 & The World, we toast 2 your tireless work U do as MB© CO (community organizer) 2 help save the planet from CO (carbon monoxide). --Bono

CogStar: Every family needs at least 1 Star. In your case, there are multiple. Shine on & shine forever.
--The Edge

Hey Dutch. Happy 42nd! Now you're twice the drinking age in America (and 3x the drinking age in Dublin). As MB© Historian, U know it was me that posted the "Musicians Wanted" ad that got this whole thing started. I hear U played some drums back in skool. Cool. --Larry Mullen

S4: We hope U like the sound of all the tracks on our new CD (expecially the bass). The release date of March 3rd, along with five straight nights on Letterman, is no coincidence. H B 2 U! --Adam

As the MB© TA (Travel Agent), we encourage U2 keep on keepin' on, just as U did when U had 2 leave 1 of our concerts just before it started. All's well that ends well.

Now, you can think of "No Line On The Horizon" every time you look out your West windows.

Happy Birthday 2U!

Thought of the Day

Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe. -Robert Service, writer (1874-1958)

Dizzy Spells

We drink coffee on a daily basis but since too much caffeine can cause dizziness and that nervous feeling our choice is the half-caff coffee because the brain is the most biochemically complex and metabolically active organ of the whole body and a large section of the brain called the cerebellum is mainly concerned with balance and coordination so it's not surprising that dizzy spells are a common symptom of too many coffee beans which leads us to what are dizzy spells and their causes?

After looking at these coffee beans, do you feel faint?
As if about to pass out? Any hint of cerebral dizziness?
This could be from low blood pressure, low blood sugar, or poor oxygen supply. Low blood pressure often causes faintness. If you suddenly stand up, expecially(*) if you have been lying down for some time, this could cause a dizzy spell. Low blood sugar could cause faintness or dizziness to occur and could be caused by missing a meal, or if you eat sweet things all the time, but now have missed a snack, or if you have exercised hard and burned up the sugar in the blood. Ear disease could cause dizziness since balance is sensed by the inner ear. Any disturbance of this may cause Vertigo: a symptom described as “the world going round”. Hyperventilation can certainly cause dizzy spells. In this case, there is often a feeling of being spaced out and “not with it”.
(*) expecially = extra especially

ABCs

We're all familiar with the official standard international phonetic alphabet, which was a very good idea to avoid confusion and mistakes. Referring to a letter by its phonetic alphabet counterpart probably should be used more when speaking over the telephone, especially when dealing with all those very similar sounding letters.

The Miles Brothers Corp decided to come up with our very own official standard international phonetic alphabet, and we encourage you to do the same.
Here it goes:
A as in Amsterdam. B as in Brenna.
C as in Cogstar. D as in Dr. Miles.
E as in Elephant. F as in Fargo.
G as in Garlic. H as in Honda.
I as in Imagination. J as in James.
K as in Kit. L as in Led Zeppelin.
M as in Mylah. N as in North Dakota.
O as in Okolemaluna. P as in Ping Pong.
Q as in Quagmire. R as in Reagan.
S as in Sam. T as in Tom.
U as in U2. V as in Vacation.
W as in Willy's Wonka. X as in X-wife.
Y as in Yes. Z as in Zen.
