RG WRAPUP
The 2010 Regional Gathering was a hit as we ‘camped’ out at the Crown Plaza
for President’s Day weekend. From scrumptious desserts on Friday to delicious
pizza for Sunday lunch, hospitality outdid themselves once again. Thank you,
Jack, and all who helped. Barbara Kryvko assembled a variety of speakers and
activities. There was something to interest
everyone. I wish to thank all the people who helped this year, especially my
committee which spent many hours planning and implementing the RG: Jim Tuller,
registrar; Laura DeWeese, kids program; Judy Shimkus, printed program; Sharon
Pidgeon, game room; Angie Doering, whatever I needed; Gary Sudin, technology;
Mike Thompson,runner; Jack Lippold, hospitality; Barbara Kryvko, speakers.
Watch for information on the 2011 Regional Gathering. Would you like to
volunteer? There are positions requiring just a little bit of time or many
hours of time. Contact Jackie to volunteer.
Do you have ideas for future RGs?
Contact Jackie. All ideas are welcome.
What is Mensa?

If you see this lady turning clockwise you are using
your right brain.
If you see it the other way, you are using your left brain.
Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.
If you try to see it the other way and if you do see it, your IQ is above 160 which
is almost a genius.
Then see if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the
brain's current.
BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN
This was proved at Yale University, over a 5 year study on the human brain
and its functions. Only 14% of the US population can see her move both ways.
Mensans - do you think this
is true?

Girlie Wisdom!
Women over 50 don't have babies because
they would put them down and forget where they left them.
A friend of mine confused her Valium
with her birth control pills... she has 14 kids but doesn't really care.
One of life's mysteries is how a
2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 lbs.
My mind not only wanders, it sometimes
leaves completely.
The best way to forget your troubles is
to wear tight shoes.
The nice part about living in a small
town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does.
The older you get, the tougher it is to
lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends.
Just when I was getting used to
yesterday, along came today.
Sometimes I think I understand
everything, and then I regain consciousness.
I gave up jogging for my health when my
thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my knickers.
Amazing! You hang something in
your closet for a while and it shrinks 2 sizes!
Skinny people irritate me!Especially
when they say things like...'You know sometimes I forget to eat!' .....Now I've
forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name and my keys, but I have never
forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to
eat!
The trouble with some women is that
they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him.
I read this article that said the
typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too
fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day!
