Special
Member Needs/Offerings
House Sitter
Needed
Hi Friends,
We live on Sugarloaf 10 miles west of Boulder. We are looking for a
house sitter for Friday night February 29th through dinner Sunday March
2nd. We have 2 very friendly dogs, and 3 well-behaved horses. The dogs
need to be walked twice a day, and fed dinner, with company over night.
The horses need to be
fed twice a day.
It is beautiful and peaceful and quiet up here. We will be happy to pay
for someone to house sit and take care of our loving animals who are
very important to us.
If you are interested, or know of someone else who might be interested,
please call me at 303-442-6656. Leave a message if I am not home and I
will call you back.
Thank you very much.

A
hurricane blew across
the Caribbean. It didn't take long for the expensive yacht to be
swamped
by high waves, sinking without a trace.
There were
only two survivors: the boat's owner Dr. Eskin and its steward Benny.
Both managed to swim to the closest island. After reaching the deserted
strip of land, the steward was crying and very upset that they would
never be found. The other man was quite calm, relaxing against a tree.
"Dr.
Eskin, Dr. Eskin, how can you be so calm?" cried the Benny. "We're
going to die on this lonely island. We'll never be discovered here."
"Sit down
and listen to what I have to say, Benny," began the confident Dr.
Eskin. "Five years ago I gave the United Way $500,000 and another
$500,000 to the United Jewish Appeal. I donated the same amounts four
years ago. And, three years ago, since I did very well in the stock
market, I contributed $750,000 to each. Last year business was good
again, so the two charities each got a million dollars."
"So what?"
shouted Benny.
"Well,
it's time for their annual fund drives. They'll find me," smiled Dr.
Eskin.
