Random Surfs

Made in China isn't so cheap anymore. Maybe it's just me, but this is like a terrorists wet dream waiting to happen.

Our country really is starting to fall apart at the seams. My heart goes out to those family's. It's something I never really think is possible when I cross a bridge. At least, that's what I used to think. Now I'll be more likely to avoid bridges whenever possible.

For every disaster like this most recent one, there are at least a few heroes.



I got this E-mail today:

Hi,
My name is Katherine Johnson. I run a Humanitarian Organisation/Orphanage home
that caters for Children who have no homes .I have been doing this for some
years now with my Husband,James Johnson,and Few close friends of mine (Jenny
Scoggins and Michael Donald ). The name of My organization is Katherine
Johnsons Orphanage center, based in the city of Lancs , England , UK here. I
want you to know that Thousands of children’s lives were lost recently ,
when this deadly volcano came up and destroyed so many cities in Ecuador
,thousands of children were left homeless recently in Ethiopia ,Africa when
this Deadly flood swept across the country .Again severe watery diarrhea had
spread and killed so many children in Northern Australia .This are all
peoples Children just like me and you , who have been nurturing dreams of
becoming someone great someday.

It is because of the above sad experiences in the lives of so many children
that we came together few years ago ,to set up this foundation (Katherine
Johnson ORPHANAGE HOME ),with the aim of catering for this Children, and
given them a new sense of belonging , we feed , house them, and give them a
new future, which they taught they have lost finally .

God had been so good, and our Orphanage works had been growing steadily this
past few years. We have been able to build Orphanage home in South Africa, we
have set up a catering center for the children in Ecuador. We are set to do
even more, since there have been increase in the number of children suffering
from neglect.

As a result of this great works and because people want to be a part of
making this children happy(after all it is more blessed to give than to
receive, and again ,it is not how long we live that matters and will always
be remembered , BUT IT IS JUST the number of lives we are able to touch with
the few years we have to live that matters , and will be remembered forever
.),more personalities and Companies in USA are ready to give something to
improve the life of this children.The problem we are facing right now with
this people, who want to donate something to this Orphanage Children, is that
most of them are willing to donate something only through money order or
cashiers check, which is difficult to cash here in UK

THEREFORE WE ARE LOOKING FOR A GODFEARING ,HONEST AND RELIABLE REPRESENTATIVE
IN THE USA ,WHO WILL BE WORKING FOR US AS A PART TIME WORKER.WE ARE
WILLING TO PAY 10 PERCENT OF ANY MONEY WE RECEIVE TO THIS REPRESENTATIVE. I
WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT ACCORDING TO OUR ORPHANAGE POLICY AND RULES WITH
WHICH WE OPERATE,10 PERCENT OF ANY MONEY RECEIVED GOES TO OUR
REPRESENTATIVE,THE OTHER MONEY IS USED IN PAYING THE SALARY OF OUR VARIOUS
STAFFS AND GENERAL UPKEEPS ,AND THEN THE REMAINING PERCENTAGE IS CHANNELED
INTO TAKING CARE OF THIS CHILDRENS VARIOUS NEEDS.

Do understand that the cost of coming to the States and getting all this money
that had been donated ,is very expensive and time consuming, therefore we are
working on building an Orphanage home very soon in the States, and operating
from there.

These Donations are in Money order, cashier’s check or a special financial
facility such as, Equity Line of Credit, Business Line of Credit. or CREDIT
CARD. and they would come to you in your name, if you are willing to assist as
representative for this Children, so all you need do is cash the money order
,deduct your percentage and Western Union Charges, then wire the rest back to

sent to you by the FedEx or UPS from this great DONORS , , then you are to
take it to your bank account to enable you cash it ,and send the money back to
us , via Western Union money transfer .

will be deducted from any money you are receiving , so you are rest assured
that you WOULD NOT spend a dime out of your personal money.

Now, we all know this is a hoax, right? Seriously, do people buy into this line of crap?

And, would someone please tell me why I have to be Godfearing in order for them to steal money from me? Seems like I'd only have to be stupid.

No matter how bad a day you may be having, it's better than this kids

I'd better get some work done toady. later!

Sadly enough, many people do fall for those scams! Even the Godfearing ones!

That wipeout was BRUTAL! Yowch! Doesn't surprise me though that his shoes came off. Ever see how the kids wear those skater shoes?!

Buy Canadian! :) We'll only give you mad cow disease. Well, not anymore, we've been pretty vigilant about the cows.

I cannot believe the nerve of some folks... just makes me ill thinking of elderly or not so bright people believing this and being taken for a ride on the Reading.

I hope they rot in hell too.. but thats just me again (see previous post response..;)

It's the "godfearing" part that probably drags a few in. They figure that if someone is looking for a person who believes in God, then they must be righteous, too. Such a shame.
