I saw a very nice ceramic pot with lid for baked beans and I would love to buy it, but am afraid of lead. On the bottom, it says made in Taiwan. How can I tell if it is safe?

A professor at the University is giving a seminar on the supernatural.
To get a feel for his audience, he asks them, "How many folk here believe in ghosts?"

About 80 students raise their hands. "That's a good start," says the professor, "For those who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you've ever seen a ghost?"

About 40 students raise their hands.

"That's really good," continues the professor, "I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?"

15 students raise their hands.

"That's a great response," remarks the impressed professor, "has anyone here ever touched a ghost?"

3 students raise their hands.

"Brilliant. But let me ask you one question further...

Have any of you ever been intimate with a ghost?"

One of his students from a Redneck state raises his hand.

The professor is astonished. He takes off glasses, takes a step back, and says, "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed that.

You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." The redneck student replies with a nod and begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor asks, "Well, tell us what it's like to have made love to a ghost."

The student replies, "Ghost?!? Dang it!... I thought you said goats."

If you could go back and change anything financially (realistically) in the past 20 years of your life, what would you change and why?
This is for an assignment and my professor requires contact information to make sure we actually asked. If you'd put your age, name, and e-mail, I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks!!

A question was asked earlier on Seniors by a person questioning what to do with someone who spends too much time on YA and not enough time with their family. The asker then adds more info and accuses some of the people that answered of condoning child neglect, even though I'm sure they were not. In addition, he calls Eve T. "wierd" and Gladys "a nut case". This reminded me of a similiar situation when I recently answered a question. The asker called me "stupid", even though I gave what I thought was a good answer. I decided to ignore it, but seeing this made me wish I didn't. What would you have done?

My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was always around in my early years but less and less as time passed by until today I read his obituary. Please join me in a moment of silence in remembrance. For Common Sense had served us all so well for so many generations.

Obituary
Common Sense


Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm a Victim.

I am really really upset because Q&A, to me, is almost like having Penfriends. I happened to show my partner an e-mail that I had from a male acquaintance to a previous Q.
All of a sudden, it's suspect. I might be 'chatting' God forbid! Some MAN knows my e-mail address! Maybe I'm meeting someone, somewhere!
He has use of my computer and I like to share answers with him, so he's not blocked out as though it's my own private little world.
Why is he making me feel guilty for receiving an e-mail from someone on answers?

Our company had the annual Christmas party at a casino this year. It was a new experience for me. I was surprised at the number of smokers in there gambling with a cigarette hanging from their mouth. Yuck!!!! There was a blue cloud of smoke in the air. Thank goodness I found the non-smoking room. Also, many of the gamblers were Senior Citizens. I felt so out of place, bored and uncomfortable. Finally found a football game to watch on one of the TVs.

Do you go to casinos? What's fun about it?

This farmer has 500 hens but no rooster so he goes to his neighbor and asks him if he could buy a rooster for $100.

The neighbor says, "You can have this rooster. His name's Roy. He'll get all your hens pregnant. He's a real stud."

So the farmer takes him home and says, "It's your first day so take it slow, okay?"

The farmer puts Roy in the hen house and then hears all the hens crying and yelling. Roy nailed every one of those hens and then nailed a duck and a goose at a pond.

The next morning the farmer finds Roy lying dead with his legs sticking in the air and buzzards circling overhead.

The farmer says, "Roy, did you have to die?"

Roy says, "Quiet! They're about to land!"

Until 62 I was quite healthy and work a physical job. But at 62 I developed autoimmune disorder and now stay uncomfortable or in pain daily.

No matter how hard I work to stay healthy, another 20 years of this just seems exhausting. Does anyone else feel this way or have any suggestions to improve my outlook?

Thank you for all responses.

An overweight blonde went to see her doctor for some advice. The doctor advised that she run ten miles a day for thirty days. This, he promised, would help her lose as many as twenty pounds.

The blonde followed the doctor's advice, and, after thirty days, she was pleased to find that she had indeed lost the whole twenty pounds. She phoned the doctor and thanked him for the wonderful advice which produced such effective results.

At the end of the conversation, however, she asked one last question:

"How do I get home, since I am now 300 miles away?"

The show America's Funniest Videos. The video was of an older gentleman 50+, setting at the right side with a water hose, spraying a little girl aged about 2-3. She had nothing on. The only area shaded was the pubic area. Everything else, backside and all, was there for the whole world to see. In these days, with child pornography, pedophiles and such, I feel the segment shouldn't have been aired. If the child had on a diaper, undies, something, it would have been different. Some videos are not meant for all the world to gawk at. Is there something wrong with me? What is your opinion?

Martha complained that her husband, George, was just getting too old and listless. She suggested that he go to the doctor for a checkup and see if the doctor could give him something to pep him up. George went to the doctor and when he got home he was a different man. He chased his wife around the house and couldn't get her to bed often enough. Martha was worn out. She thought, "This is too good to be true. I'm going to the doctor and see if he can do something for me." George drove his wife to the doctor's office and waited while she went in to see the doctor. Martha said to the doctor, "What did you tell my husband. He is like a new man." The doctor said, "Well, I don't know. I gave him a checkup but I don't remember saying anything that would change him like that." She said, "Well, he's right out here in the waiting room. You ask him. George came into the office. The doctor said, "What did I say to you that gave you so much energy?" George said, "You said be cheerful. You have a hot mama!" The doctor said. "Oh, no! I said, be careful. You have a heart murmur!"
