Nancy Reagan, the widow of President Ronald Reagan, died Sunday morning of heart failure in her Los Angles home at the age of 94. Mrs. Reagan was a First Lady of class and elegance and her memory will continue to live on.
Mrs. Reagan is set to be buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, next to her husband. Prior to the funeral, there will be an opportunity for members of the public to pay their respects at the Library, the spokesperson said. Rest in peace Mrs. Reagan.
The News As I See It: A new report claims that a knife was found buried at O.J. Simpson's estate. They're now analyzing the knife for evidence, but experts warn that it might not be related to the crime. You know, because it could just be one of those regular knives people bury in the backyard.

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) I think the executives at Walmart had a meeting one day and someone said, "I know, let's buy thirty registers and only keep two open. 2) The inventor of the doorbell obviously did not own a Chihuahua. 3) Sure, blue jeans are comfortable....but forever in them? 4) A male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who never owned a car. 5) Snuggies are a stupid product. Not only that, they're not new or an invention. In most houses, they're called blankets and if you're too stupid to operate a blanket, you deserve to be cold.....and that's five !

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar And Grill: A blonde went the library and stepped up to the desk. She said to the desk clerk, "I would like a hamburger, french fries and a malt." The desk clerk said, "Shhh...this is a library."
The blonde said, "Oh I'm sorry, I don't know what is wrong with me." Then, the blonde leaned over close to the desk clerk and whispered, "I would like a hamburger, french fries and a malt."
Dan Quayle, Newt Gingrich and President Clinton all get caught up in a tornado and land in the Emerald City of Oz. They are finally allowed to visit the great and powerful wizard.
Dan Quayle says "I've had a tough time getting by in Washington and I think I'd like to have a brain".
Newt Gingrich speaks next and says "I've heard all they say about me and my conservative politics and I'd like to have a heart."
President Clinton speaks last and says "I'll just take Dorothy."
The Hits Just Keep On Coming: A Polish man was walking down the street, carrying a brown paper bag. He ran into one of his friends, who asked, "Hey! What do you have in the bag?" The man tells his friend that he has some fish in the bag.
His friend says, "Well, I'll make you a bet. If I can guess how many fish you have in the bag, you'll have to give me one." The man says, "I'll go you one better. If you tell me how many fish I have in this bag, I'll give you both of them."
Three guys that all worked bulding high rise buildings sat down to lunch one day. The first one opens his lunch and says, "Tuna fish, tuna fish, I hate tuna fish. If I get tuna fish one more time I'm jumping." The other two guys open their lunches and say the same thing.
The next day the first guy opens his lunch and says, "Ah, ham and cheese." The next two open their lunches and say, "Tuna fish, tuna fish, I hate tunafish. If I get tuna fish one more time I'm going to jump."
The third day the first two guys open their lunches and both got their favorite sandwiches. The third guy opens his lunch and says, "Tuna fish, tuna fish, I hate tuna fish. All right, that's it. I'm jumping." So he goes to the edge and jumps off.
The other two look on not believing what just happened. After a while, the first guy says, "Gee, that's sad. He actually jumped." The second guy says, "Yeah and the worst part is that he packs his own lunch."
That's it for today, my little chicklets. Remember, love is like a long joke where the punchline doesn't make any sense.
