		<description><![CDATA[Toodle-oo
 I thought that it would be a good idea to say some a little stupid  here even if it gets a smile and  that  is if Bernews  can put up with a little frivolity once in a while, after all life all bt a big joke any way.

  A tom cat and his girlfriend Elizabeth are planing to have their wedding on alllllllgirls point, 
 no Daugs will be invited, some thing about difference  between a bark and a meow. 

  Thought  followed a muck cart and thoaught it was a wedding. well i never !

 The day we stop laughing  which make the pain go away, is also the time to moaning a groaning about the little things on life, why sweat the small stuff ?
 I told all the cashiers at  Gorhams that some where near the Barbary&#039;s  Park was having a beauty contest  at 4 .0 pm . that brought great joy an excitement. To day application were  available for $300 . each , and  first prize would be  $2.99  -
 

  On a more  seiouse note .

  BERNEWS.

    Manaement and the  Staff of Bernews.

 I hope  I am not the last to congratulate Bernews and their wonderful staff for an absolute and with  out doubt did   fantastic job  covering the last  Hurricane it is greatly appreciated, we see here and exibition  of  comunications with enthusiasm by those who did absolute rendition of pure  journalastic excellence. 
&quot;  Thank you !&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since the down turn in our economy more an more people will look to charity only to be disappointed by the fact that charity givers are also  living on charity.

 i though it might be a good idea to run behind a bus into town in order to save little money. 

We also thought that if we had no children  we could save a bob or two and also   cut back on napkins there would be a tremendous savings  , but unfortunately  nothing seems to work. 

   At 88 and with  the cat&#039;s mother 85  we are still cutting our lawn,what took two hours back then now takes three days with the second day as a rest day for our tired old bones.

  TV sucks   no relief there , they all have guns. you never get to see the funerals .
   What we that is you and  I are going through these days is not exactly hardship like it was during WW TWO .

 Unfortunately our young people  are not helping  much that is some what disappointing there is the future gone up in smoke  eventually  the young will be for seniors and they will pay the price  it is written in the wind as noting is free.
    I never invisioned that  2023  &amp; 2024  was going to be the worst years of our lives for some not all.
 there a 7 or isit8. hurricane this year that is not very encouraging.

     Faith hope love and charity and the greatest of them all  is a piece of toast soaked in gravy and to pretend it is a tenderloin.
    Faith, is the  red head  girl next door  that plays the violin
     Love  is  Hope,  for a better  life which  will not long lost
      Charity , we gave it all away.

   The secret to it all is when and your deams  come true .

  Get a job !]]></description>
