A mechanic who worked out of his home had a dog named Mace. Mace had a bad habit of eating all the grass on the mechanic's lawn, so the mechanic had to keep Mace inside. The grass eventually became overgrown. One day the mechanic was working on a car in the backyard and dropped his wrench, losing it in the tall grass. He couldn't find it for the life of him, so he decided to call it a day. That night, Mace escaped from the house and ate all the grass in the backyard. The next morning the mechanic went outside and saw his wrench glinting in the sunlight. Realizing what had happened he looked toward the heavens and proclaimed, "A grazing Mace, how sweet the hound, that saved a wrench for me!"

Goobers All Around Submitted by Maggie May
Jimbo, Uncle Andy and Thomas escaped from prison. They ran for miles until they came upon an old barn, so they decided to hide in the hayloft and rest. When they climbed up, they found three gunnysacks and decided to put them over their heads for camouflage. About an hour later the sheriff and his deputy came into the barn. The sheriff told his deputy to go up and check out the hayloft.

A young man was driving along a country road on the way to see his girl. As he passed a field the idea struck him to stop and pick a bouquet of flowers. He had barely begun romping through the field when he became aware or a rather mean looking bull not far away, with head lowered and an evil look in his eye. Far away, leaning comfortably on the prudent side of the fence, stood a farmer taking in the situation. The young man called out to him, "Hey, mister! Is that bull safe!" To which the farmer shouted back, "Safe as anything! Can't say the same about you, though!" Uncle Andy’s Digest ...with

Dr. Ted Stratman & Dr. Chandra Sasseville welcome Dr. Grant Lemire to the team.
How it all started: “I was 10 years old when I first saw a chiropractor. I had been suffering with headaches, acute migraines, numbness in the right upper half of my body, gastrointestinal reflux, chronic ear infections, and strep throat. I had seen every kind of doctor from my PCP to a neurologist, GI specialist, allergists, ENT, you name it. I had the works: MRI, cat scan, nerve tests, endoscopy, tubes in the ears, adenoids removed, failed attempt of removing my tonsils and the list goes on. At one point the doctors were thinking I was making it up to gain attention. My day consisted of being woken up, given a pill box for all my drugs (at one point I was on over 6 different drugs for reasons unknown), and I was lucky if I was able to make it through one full day of school. I remember coming home, going to bed, being woken up to eat, and then going back to bed. That was what my life had come to. No playing with friends, teachers had excused me from homework assignments, and I was unable to play sports. It wasn’t until the pharmacist said to my mom that I should not be on this many medications without any known cause of my symptoms and I should see a chiropractor. My mom was surprised that a chiropractor could even help. It was this pharmacist who literally saved my life. My first chiropractic visit, I remember it like it was yesterday. He pushed on different points of my spine and literally reiterated all my different
symptoms. I remember asking my mom to make him stop. He looked at me and smiled, ‘You’re a chiropractor’s dream’, he said. He then went over my x-rays and explained to us how my spine was out of alignment, so my nerves were not functioning correctly. If my nerves were not functioning correctly, the decrease in function in certain parts of my spine can cause certain symptoms like I had been experiencing. I saw the chiropractor initially quite often, as he needed to reiterate and reeducate my muscle and realignment. Slowly, one by one, I started getting off the drugs and my symptoms started to disappear. Before I knew it I was off the drugs completely, no longer had to see the specialists or perform any test, and I was seeing the chiropractor once a month or as needed. I was making it through a full day of school, playing with friends after school, able to get involved with sports, and excelling as an adolescent. I could never thank the pharmacists enough to speak up the way he did to my mom and I can never give back to chiropractic what it has given me. It will be my lifelong mission to do to others and provide them chiropractic the way it has been provided to me.”

A husband stepped on one of those penny scales that tell you your fortune and weight, and dropped in a coin. "Listen to this," he said to his wife, showing her a small, white card. "It says I'm energetic, bright, resourceful and a great husband." "Yeah", his wife nodded, "And it has your weight wrong, too."

If you don’t care where you are, then you ain’t lost.
1. Leftovers in your mouth Proper brushing and flossing twice daily is essential to reduce bacteria and food particles that remain between the teeth and gums, which is a major cause of bad breath. Just imagine a piece of food lingering between your teeth for weeks until you floss it out! 2. Your dirty tongue The surface of the tongue has tiny fibers that trap food and bacteria. To remove debris, simply brush the tongue daily with a soft bristle toothbrush or tongue cleaner. Tongue cleaners come in many shapes and sizes. 3. A mouth like the desert Dry mouth is a side effect of many medications. Saliva acts as a natural oral cleanser, helping to rinse the oral cavity. With limited salivary production, this cleansing mechanism becomes ineffective. Dry mouth gels, drops, and rinses help increase saliva production. It is our goal to have open discussions with patients about all aspects of oral health, so don't be embarrassed to talk with your dentist or hygienist at your next visit!

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Once there were four business men. They were sitting on a bench in a hospital waiting room because their wives were having babies. A nurse comes over and says to the first businessman, "Congratulations! Your wife had 1 baby." The man says, "What a coincidence! I'm the president of And1!" The nurse goes away. Then the nurse comes back and says to the second businessman, "Congratulations! Your wife had twins!" The man says, "What a coincidence! I'm the owner of the Minnesota Twins!" The nurse goes away. The nurse comes back and says to the third businessman, "Congratulations! Your wife had triplets!" The man says, "What a coincidence! I work for Triple Crown!" The nurse goes away. The nurse comes back and sees the fourth businessman alone on the bench crying. She asks, "Why are you crying?" The man replies, "I work for Seven Up!" Uncle Andy’s Digest ...with April 2014

Weight For Help Submitted by Jimbo
Somewhat skeptical of his son's new found determination to become Charles Atlas, the father nevertheless followed the teenager over to the weight-lifting department, admiring a set of weights. "Please, Dad," pleaded the boy, "I promise I'll use 'em every day." "I don't know, Michael. It's really a commitment on your part," the father pointed out. "Please, Dad?" the boy continued. "They're not cheap either," the father came back. "I'll use 'em Dad, I promise. You'll see." Finally won over, the father paid for the equipment and headed for the door.
Pfffft... Big deal. It’s only 90 human years!

A cat, by any other name, is still a sneaky little furball that barfs on the furniture.
At the local grocery store a man observed a woman in the grocery store with a three year old girl in her basket. As they passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies and her mother told her, "No." The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the mother said quietly, "Now Monica, we just have half of the aisles left to go through don't be upset. It won't be long now." Soon, they came to the candy aisle and the little girl began to shout for candy. When told she couldn't have any, she began to cry. The mother said, "There, there, Monica, don't cry - only two more aisles to go and then we'll be checking out." When they got to the checkout stand, the little girl immediately began to clamor for gum and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering there'd be no gum purchased. The mother said serenely, "Monica, we'll be through this check out stand in 5 minutes and then you can go home and have a nice nap."

A rich billionaire decides to throw a massive party for his 50th birthday, so during this party he grabs the microphone and he announces to his guests that down in the garden of his mansion he has a swimming pool with two great white sharks in it. “I will give anything you desire of mine, to the first person who swims the length of that pool.” The party continues with no events in the pool, until suddenly, there is a great splash and all the guests of the party run to the pool to see what has happened. In the pool is Uncle Andy swimming as hard as he can. The fins come out of the water with their jaws snapping! He just keeps on going while the sharks gain on him. Uncle Andy reaches the end and gets out of the pool, tired and soaked. The billionaire grabs the microphone and says, “I am a man of my word Uncle Andy, anything of mine I will give, my Ferrari, my house, absolutely anything, for you are the bravest man I have ever seen.

3rd Consecutive New England Title!
Bottom row: Cassie Regner, Erin Morris, Abbie Madden & Lily Fundis. 2nd row: Brianna Hull, Olivia Bergeron, Sadie Dulac, Sage Physic, Erika Thibault, Sierra Melanson, Nadine Jones, Tia Cortes & Meagan Murphy. Top row: Kaitlyn Beckwith, Hailee Ingerson, Maddie Leblond, Tawni Zamrock, Kyla Hill, Ali Porter, Morgan Allen, Taylor Hopkins & Andrea Bonin. The Lewiston Blue Devils cheerleaders won their third consecutive New England Title in Lawrence, MA last month. Coach Lynnette Morency couldn’t be prouder. These Lewiston girls beat out Pinkerton Academy from Derry, NH to claim the hardware for the third year in a row. Pinkerton is a prep school who was seeking their seventh overall New England title in the eight year history of the event, winning three in co-ed and three in the all girls division. Lewiston won big, 191.1 points to Pinkerton’s 184.8. Marshwood finished third with 180.2 points giving Maine two of the top three finishers. Biddeford, Marshwood and Bangor all beat out Lewiston at the states, denying the Devils’ seniors a four year sweep. Only the fact that Biddeford had a male cheerleader, placing them in the co-ed division, allowed the Devils to defend their title. They certainly made the most of that opportunity. Lewiston High School cheerleaders hard work has paid off big in recent history. Winning state titles in 2011, 2012 & 2013 and winning the New England Champion title in 2012, 2013 & 2014.
Congratulations, Lewiston High School Cheerleaders on your commitment to excellence! Great job!! Uncle Andy’s Digest ...with

Bill was removing some engine valves from a car on the lift when he spotted his richest customer, the famous heart surgeon Dr. Shepard. Bill, who was somewhat of a loud mouth, shouted across the garage, "Hey Shepard, is that you? Come over here a minute." The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Bill was working on the car. Bill, in a loud voice that all could hear, said argumentatively, "So Mr. fancy doctor, look at this work. I too, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I'm finished, this baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get the big bucks, when you and me are doing basically the same work?" Dr. Shepard, very annoyed, shook his head and replied in a similar loud voice, "Try doing your work with the engine running."
