True tales......
Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: "Free to go home. You want it, you take it." For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal. It looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge for sale 50." The next day someone stole it.
Whilst looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?"
When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff."
They Walk Among Us!!
I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open.
I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific" .
They Walk Among Us!!!
My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the staff talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving".
My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk...They Walk Among Us!!!!!
My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount....
They Walk Among Us!!!!!!
I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned...
They Walk Among Us!!!!!!!
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"...
They Walk Among Us!!!!!!!!
====================
While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding.
"Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.
Yep, They Walk Among Us, too.!!!!!!!!
====================
They walk among us, AND they reproduce!

White African Wildflower
I have been wandering beyond the kraal
Wandering on like an innocent child
Wandering beyond the woods in the wild
Wandering to the kopje of Transvaal.
Wandering to the land of the birds of Paradise
Wandering to the valley of the sunrise
Wandering to the fountain of the bubbling spring
To join the chorus of the fairies as they sing.
There I saw the white flower among the lilies
Among the lilies beyond King Solomon’s mines
The enchanted white flower of dawn
Blooming in the bright light of the African sun.
Wandering on like an innocent child
Wandering beyond the woods in the wild
Wandering to the kopje of Transvaal.

There I saw the white flower among the lilies
Among the lilies beyond King Solomon’s mines
The enchanted white flower of dawn
Blooming in the bright light of the African sun.

Genevieve Nnaji: The Queen of Nollywood
Genevieve Nnaji in her own words!
Genevieve Nnaji On The Cover of Mimi.
I must say that life has been very dramatic. It has been quite eventful. It also has its ups and downs. But above all, I thank God for whatever I have been able to achieve over the years. For me, it has been quite fulfilling being a popular actress. The fact that I am able to do what I want to do which is acting. It is fulfilling for me. The fact that people do appreciate what I have been doing, my work, and my personality, that is fulfilling on its own. But in terms of the downs, yes!
As a celebrity and a popular actress, people tend to misjudge my character as a person and what role I play on screen. I don’t think I have played any role that is exactly my character in real life. But you have to cry or laugh as you used to, in real life to be able to perfect the make-belief notion. You can’t imitate any person in that situation.
But the story lies on how you are able to handle a particular situation in a movie, how you react to certain issues and situations are not necessarily the way you will probably handle such situation in real life. Music is something I have always cherished, even before I started acting. I discovered my talent in music first before I went into acting. . The originality of my song is what inspired my producer to want to approach me for a deal. Even though acting is my vocation and has helped to make a celebrity, and me more responsible it has equally denied me the right to live the way I would have loved to live my life. A lot of people want to associate with you. You cannot live a normal life. You don’t have your privacy again. It appears you are no longer human. I am actually a very rare gem. I like to just react naturally to any situation. I believe, everybody has a right to his or her feelings and freedom to express oneself without interference.

I like to just react naturally to any situation. I believe, everybody has a right to his or her feelings and freedom to express oneself without interference. I want Hollywood to come to Nollywood. It’s not that I cannot act in Hollywood. But for the fact that I have my root here, my parents are very much alive and my siblings, my cultural background, I don’t think I can take up the challenges in Hollywood. We are not African-Americans; we are purely Africans by birth. My parents are artistic. In terms of music, drumming, and singing, I am the only actress in my family, but there are my other siblings who are into music and other areas of the arts.
Who I'd like to meet:All of my fans. Thank you for the love you give so freely, especially those who have proudly declared themselves members of the Republic - don't laugh it does exist. I try everyday not to disappoint you by being the best I can be. Thanks to those who keep in touch trough emails - Love you back like you will never know.

Pray For Lisa Fox
Dear Praying Friends,
Lisa did not have to be admitted to the hospital the other day. She came home later that evening. As i said then, she was a bit frightened by the siezure, and so far the CT scan indicates that it was not caused by a significant regrowth of the tumor. They don't know what would have caused it then, of course. So please pray for Lisa's peace of mind, and that the doctors could determine and address the problem if possible. And of course, please continue to pray, even now, for a complete eradication of the cancer in Lisa's brain.
The scheduled trip to Texas was cancelled due to the siezure and fear of possible further episodes. Please pray that the Fox's might get to visit family there soon.
Rich has also asked for continued prayer about their financial situation. In particular, there is an important board meeting in Lombard on Monday evening that will decide on issues related to a property variance. If the variance is passed it would mean a significant financial benefit for Rich and the Fox family. If it does not pass then it would affect them quite negatively. Please pray for a positive outcome.
And one last prayer request for the Fox's, their current nanny who helps take care of all five children, will be leaving in January to attend school. Please pray that a new, suitable nanny will be found to replace her.
Under the Mercy,
For Lisa Fox
