Oak Park in Minot – Live Postively contest
Submitted by Wayne (’61) & Rosemary Smith: Bottineau, ND
 

Gary:

Oak Park in Minot, ND is still ranked #1 in the Live Postively contest, but the #2 park is closing the gap. The contest ends September 6. The winning park gets a $100,000 grant. This grant will be used to restore, rebuild or enhance places within the park to play or be active. The Mouse Rive flooded Oak Park this spring. All you bloggers who wish to vote, do it and vote often. Vote at http://www.livepositively.com

Thanks, Gary

Joke of the day

Ponder-isms

1· I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

2· There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

3· Life is sexually transmitted.

4· Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

5· The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

6· Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

7· Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

8· Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

9· All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

10· In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it Normal .

11· How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

12· Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, ‘I think I’ll squeeze these dangly things and drink whatever Comes out’?

13· If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

14· Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

15· If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

16· If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

17· Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

18· Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

19· Why doesn’t glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

20· Do you ever wonder why you gave me your email address?

Dear Travel Partners,

 

I wanted to inform you of our new smoking policy effective January 2012.

Please read statement below and refer your clients to NCL website for any further details.

 

Thank you,

 

MIAMI – August 09, 2011 – Norwegian Cruise Line today announced adjustments to its smoking policy in response to changing guest preferences. Effective January 2012, guests setting sail on a Norwegian cruise vacation are no longer permitted to smoke cigarettes in their staterooms. Guests who are in a balcony stateroom will be permitted to smoke on the outside balcony;however, cigar and pipe smoking in staterooms and on balconies is prohibited. Ashtrays will be available for use upon request through housekeeping staff.

 

In an effort to diminish the presence of smoke indoors, cigarette smoking is only permitted in the casino, where ashtrays and appropriate signage will be displayed. Smoking is prohibited in all other public interior venues including all bars, restaurants, conference rooms, corridors, restrooms, staircases and landings. Guests may utilize the enclosed cigar bars on board Norwegian Pearl for cigarette, cigar and pipe smoking.In addition, the policy allows guests to smoke cigarettes, cigars and pipes in outdoor public guest spaces and open decks, where designated by the appropriate signage. Smoking is not permitted near outdoor venues which serve food, in open spaces such as the jogging track, sport complex andchildren’s pool.

 

For more information on Norwegian’s updated smoking policy guests may consult their Freestyle Daily once on board the ship or view the policy on website at www.ncl.com
