How kids show off

Three little Kids were standing around on the school grounds boasting about their dads. The first kid, a little boy said, “My Dad writes a few words on a piece of paper. He calls it a poem, and people give him $100 for it.”

The second kid, also a boy said, “That’s nothing. My Dad writes a few words on a piece of paper. He calls it a song, and people give him $200 for it.” The third kid, a girl said, “My dad’s better than both of yours easily.

My Dad writes a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes seven people to carry all the money he gets for it!”

Now here’s your Dear Jackson, Alyssa wrote… I am having trouble making friends what should I do?

Dear Alyssa,
All you need to do is be yourself and you’ll make friends soon.
Sincerely,
Jackson

That was Dear Jackson,. Now heres your news:

Exotic-animal owners oppose bill
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Dozens of exotic-animal owners lined up Tuesday before a state legislative panel to express their concerns over new permit fees, caging requirements and other proposed rules contained in a bill drawn up after a man released lions and Bengal tigers from his farm.
The measure, which seeks to regulate wildlife in the state, would ban new ownership of lions, tigers and other exotic animals, allowing current owners to keep their pets by obtaining new permits by 2014. The owners would have to pass background checks, obtain insurance, install microchips in the creatures and show they can adhere to caretaking and safety measures. Zoos, circuses, sanctuaries and research facilities would be exempt.
Animal owner Evelyn Shaw, who lives in Pataskala, just east of Columbus, told senators on Tuesday that the bill would force her and other private owners to euthanize their animals or keep them illegally. She said the fees are too expensive and insurance is too difficult to get.
“Anytime something is banned, it goes underground,” she said. “Desperate people use desperate measures. This could cause a greater public safety risk.”
Shaw, who said she has four species that would be restricted under the bill but declined to say how many animals she owns, was among many opponents in the standing-room-only hearing who wore buttons to show their opposition to the legislation. She said she legally obtained her cougar, named Niles, and has kept him at her home for 15 years.
“I know his personality, his likes and dislikes, his feeding schedule and when there is the slightest change indicating that he may not feel well,” she said.
Ohio has some of the nation’s weakest restrictions on exotic pets. Efforts to strengthen the state’s law took on new urgency in October, when a suicidal man released dozens of wild animals from his farm and authorities were forced to kill almost all of them, including endangered Bengal tigers.
The bill has the support of Republican Gov. John Kasich and the Columbus Zoo. The head of the Humane Society of the United States has said the measure would be a vast improvement for Ohio but had concerns over certain exemptions and snake ownership rules.
The bill would let owners of constricting and venomous snakes keep their reptiles, but they must have safety plans in place in case the snakes got out or if they were bitten. Owners could still breed and acquire new snakes.
Snake owner David Sagan, who takes snakes and other reptiles into schools as part of his work at the Hocking Woods Nature Center in Nelsonville, described the proposed requirements as cumbersome and discouraging. Plus, Sagan said, constrictors are gentler than the proposed rules make them out to be.
“I, for good luck, literally kissed all my big pythons on the head before I came here,” he told the Ohio Senate committee.
Tuesday’s hearing was the first chance opponents had to speak to the legislative panel considering the bill. A committee vote has not been scheduled. And the chairman of the Senate’s Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources Committee said he planned to take as much time as needed for people to be heard.

Now here’s your song:

Cross the Line Written By Super Chick
Follow the leader, stay in the lines
What will people think of what you’ve done this time?

Go with the crowd, surely somebody knows
Why we’re all wearing the emperor’s clothes
Play it safe, play by the rules
Or don’t play at all – what if you lose?
That’s not the secret, but I know what is:
Everybody dies but not everyone lives
Everybody dies but not everyone lives

I’m gonna run like I’ve got the cops on my tail
I’m gonna live my life like I’m out on bail

I’m gonna be up front, gonna blaze a trail
I’m gonna gonna gonna cross that line

Everybody freeze – don’t step over the line
Don’t stand up, they’ll shoot down the first one who tries
Try to change the world, they’ll think you’re out of your mind
Revolutions start when someone crosses the line
They want us to lie down, give into the lies
Nothing has to change, and no one has to die
Everybody dies but not everyone lives
Everybody dies but not everyone lives

I’m gonna run like I’ve got the cops on my tail
I’m gonna live my life like I’m out on bail

I’m gonna be up front, gonna blaze a trail
I’m gonna gonna gonna cross that line

Thank you everyone. Bye!!!

Now heres your funny story:
Kids’ Logic

6-year-old Jimmy, a precocious kid, always told everyone he wanted to be a doctor when he grew up. One day as Jimmy was running through his house playing, he ran into the corner of a table and hurt his eye. Being a little kid, Jimmy cried for a while but also kept saying, “Oh no, now I can never be a doctor when I grow up.”

Jimmy’s mom trying to reassure him told Jimmy that he could still be a doctor but Jimmy kept insisting that he couldn’t.

Finally she asked, “Why can’t you be a doctor, Jimmy?”

Holding one hand over his injured eye, Jimmy said, “Because now I will have to be a pirate!”

Ha Ha Ha!!! That’s funny stuff!!! Now heres your news:

Ada blaze destroys big Methodist church

ADA — Fire destroyed the 113-year-old First United Methodist Church in Ada, roaring through stained-glass windows and caving in the roof, leaving only some of the stone masonry standing Tuesday.

No one was injured. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, Hardin County Sheriff Keith Everhart said.

Dozens of firefighters from Ada, Bluffton, Kenton, McGuffey, Alger, Dunkirk, Lafayette, Mount Cory and Jenera hosed down the building into the late afternoon.

The blaze was reported about 12:15 p.m., the Ada Police Department reported.

Tara Swaney was teaching a Head Start class in the basement of the church, and practicing a tornado drill with her students, when she heard the fire alarm go off. She ushered all of the children out of the building safely.

“We didn’t know it was a real fire until we got to our normal meeting spot,” Swaney said. “Then we saw smoke pouring out of the windows and doors and we heard the windows shattering and we knew it wasn’t a drill.”

Connie Flemming, who has attended the church for 35 years, stood by taking photographs as firefighters put out the blaze.

Flemming was upset that the church was “demolished” because of its importance in Ada, serving the congregation and as a meeting place for many groups and organizations.

“A lot of people use the church — the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Head Start,” Flemming said. “Everyone made it out safely, so I’m thankful for that.”

“It was a lot more than a church,” said Ada Mayor Dave Retterer. “There was a kitchen down there, and the Kiwanis met there, and hundreds of people go through there all the time. It’s a community center.

“It’s been here since 1899 and the people at First United Methodist are so generous. There have been funerals here, and people have gotten married here, so it’s a big shock to the community,” Retterer said.

Pastor Mary Jo Yeakel declined comment.

Ernest Hackwort’s two daughters were married at the church.

Despite the “big loss,” Hackwort said, “they’ll build it back.”

The State Fire Marshal’s Office was at the scene Tuesday to investigate the cause of the blaze.

Main Street in Ada, which is Ohio 235, was expected to be closed through the night, Ada police reported.

According to the church’s website, the Rev. Samuel Hagerman organized a Methodist class in 1852 that met in a schoolhouse at the corner of Main and Montford streets in Ada.

In 1866, the Methodists built a two-story building on the corner of Gilbert Street and Highland Avenue. With a growing congregation, a new church was built at 301 N. Main St. and dedicated June 18, 1899.

Wow that was probably scary for the people around there!

Now Heres your song:

“If I Die Young”

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother
She’ll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh well
Life ain’t always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain’t even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

And I’ll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I’ve never known the lovin’ of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin’ my hand,
There’s a boy here in town, says he’ll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I’ve had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I’ll sell ’em for a dollar
They’re worth so much more after I’m a goner
And maybe then you’ll hear the words I been singin’
Funny when you’re dead how people start listenin’

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (oh, uh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep ’em in your pocket
Save ’em for a time when you’re really gonna need ’em, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls

The Band Perry is cool right? Now next week I will start Dear Jackson, You can either E-mail me or comment me to see the problem you’ve been having and I will answer it. Bye everyone!

Kids are smarter than you think
9-year-old Emily was given an assignment in school to write a story on “My family’s ancestors” The purpose was for the kids to understand their heritage.

In search of some answers for her assignment Emily proceeded to interview her grandmother who was not aware of the reason for Emily’s questions.

When she asked her grandmother, “Granny, where did I come from,” her grandma being quite nervous about talking with a kid about such a touchy subject in the absence of her parents wanted to buy some time and replied, “Well, sweetie, the stork brought you.” Hoping that the subject would be dropped until Emily’s parents came back she said no more.

“So, where did Mom come from?”

“The stork brought her also.”

“Well, then where did you come from?”

“The stork brought me too, sweetie.”

“All right, thanks, Granny.”

Emily’s grandmother did not think anything more about this incident until three days later when she was tidying up and looking at Emily’s desk, read the first sentence of her paper, “For three generations there have been no natural births in our family.”

That was really funny… “For three generations there have been no natural births in our family.” HA…HA…HA! And now for your Song today is a song I wrote comment on this if you think I wrote a good or bad song.

You don’t understand

You don’t understand what this means to me! This means the world to me I-I-I-I thought you knew! Don’t say I’m not smart! You will never stop me! I-I-I thought you knew_______! You dont understand what this means to me! This means the world to me! I-I-I-I thought you knew! You dont understand______

That was half of the song I haven’t written the rest of it yet. So heres the News:
