One invention that was more important than the first telephone was definitely ... the second telephone.
I was robbed by 6 dwarves today. Not Happy.
Real calls received by 911 Operators over the years...
A call came into 911 Emergency because two couples were going to share a hotel room and there weren't enough towels.
A man called 911 and said: "Please connect me to Switzerland."
A lady called 911 because of a fight going on in a parking lot. When asked to describe the combatants, she said: "I'll try. There's one man, and he's dressed like Elvis. He's kicking another man who's laying on the ground and screaming 'You Ain't nothing but a hound dog.'"
Sunday greetings everyone.
We're enjoying a visit from one of Grandma Cybersalt's brothers and his son. Bill and Jordan are going to go on something called a "hike?" I hear it is a long walk that one takes because one wants to - not because one has to. An interesting concept!
Today's video share is a deeper look into the deep. Its a cool look at ocean currents which aren't always cool!

Another person called to report he had the hiccups.
A thirteen-year-old boy called to report he had "stuff" coming from his navel. Paramedics examined the boy and all they found was belly-button lint.
A male complainant called and requested police call gas stations on all exits of I-95 to find out which ones were open.
A woman called emergency to report she had seen a wild mouse in her house.
Someone called 911 to report the parrot got out of his cage and "is in a tree outside!"
A man broke up with his girlfriend and wanted police to go by her house and report to him the owners of any cars, other than hers, in her driveway.
A man called to report he had a roach stuck in his ear.
One invention that was more important than the first telephone was definitely ... the second telephone.

"Judgment is God's justice confronting moral inequity, whereas mercy is God's goodness confronting human guilt and suffering."
- A. W. Tozer Delighting in God
I need a strength to keep me true
And starlight in everything I do;
I need power to keep me strong
When I am tempted to do wrong;
I need grace to keep me pure
When passion tries its deadly lure;
I need a love to keep me sweet
When hardness and mistrust I meet;
I need an arm to be my stay
When dark with trouble grows my day;
And naught on earth can these afford,
But all is found in Christ my Lord.
- Theodore Horton

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . .
I would be the first to admit one truth about myself: I don’t know everything. To quote a politician, “I don’t know what I don’t know.”
That has been the theme of my life for as long as I can remember.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
I cannot tell a lie, the cherry tree is almost totally picked. Grandma Cybersalt is OK if birds pick the little bit that is remaining, so we have removed the protective nets.
If you find washing dishes stresses you out, today's video share shows something to try instead that will help calm you!

Co-workers sympathized as my mother complained that her back was really sore from moving furniture.
"Why don't you wait till your husband gets home?" someone asked.
"I could," my mother told the group," but the couch is easier to move if he's not on it."
My boss said I intimidate my coworkers; so I stared at him until he apologized.
What's the difference between a poorly dressed man on a tricycle and a well-dressed man on a bicycle?
Attire.
Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink.
- Dwight L. Moody
One of my favorite stories is about a little girl who was late coming home for supper. Her mother made the expected irate parent's demand to know where she had been.
The little girl replied that she had stopped to help Janie, whose bicycle was broken in a fall.
"But you don't know anything about fixing bicycles," her mother responded.
"I know that," the girl said. "I just stopped to help her cry."
Not many of us know anything about fixing bicycles, either. And when our friends have fallen and broken, not their bicycles but their lives, NONE of us knows how to fix that. We simply cannot "fix" someone else's life, even though that's what we would like most to do.
But like the little girl, we can stop to help them cry. That is the best we can do. And that is a lot!

Susan Page writes . . . .
- photo by Susan PageA title can make or break a book! Finishing Well: It happens by choice, not by chance, is an insightful book by Rev. John Garner. I love the title, and it’s a great read. I came across another book called The Final Lap by John Wyatt. I haven’t read this book yet, and while it may be good, the title is not nearly as appealing. I’m not ready to say I’m on the final lap, although ultimately, my days are in God’s hands.
The expression “I’m retired” has lost its appeal for me, mostly because it’s associated with aging. I’m aware of the passing of time, but I don’t necessarily want to focus on it. So, what does retirement mean? Does it mean we are tired, and then we are re-tired? Is it time to put our name on the waiting list for the nursing home? (I’m speaking tongue-in-cheek, of course). People celebrate stepping back from full-time work and often use the term retirement, but I prefer to say that after 50 years in the workforce, I finally graduated. What does this graduation signify, and what will be next… before that final lap?

Cybersalt's funny pictures collection has been years in the making and continues to grow. We are also in the process of moving images over from our old site so check back often.

Over the years, some of the most popular pages on the Cybersalt site have featured Funny Cat Pictures. We have to admit that even though cats often look at humans like they owe the feline world something (remember dogs have owners and cats have staff), cats aren't as bad as a lot of the press that they get.
And so, whether you are a cat lover or tolerator, we hope you enjoy these funny cat pictures. And, of course, if you have any funny cat pictures you want to share with the world, feel free to send them to us to post here.
Some say the world can be divided into two types - cat people and dog people. For the cat people of the planet, Cybersalt has the Funny Cat Archive. For the dog people we have this Funny Dog Pictures archive.
It's dedicated to the memory of Maggie - Pastor Tim and family's dog. The SPCA rescued Maggie from Manitoba's Red River flood in 1996 and brought her to British Columbia where she had two short term owners before becoming a part of the Davis household where she preferred adults over kids, picked and ate fruit from trees in the backyard, and very rarely went into water at the beach.
Here's our funny horse pictures collection.
We think Cybersalt's Funny Christmas Pictures Collection is the best on the net.
We hope you'll enjoy each one and share them with your online family and friends.
Merry Christmas!
