WIFE'S DIARY: Tonight I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk.

He agreed, but he didn't say much.

I asked him what was wrong. He said, "Nothing." I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving.

I can't explain his behavior I don't know why he didn't reply, "I love you, too." When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.

He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came

Table Talk Submitted by Jimbo

Negotiations between union members and their employer were at an impasse. The union denied that their workers were flagrantly abusing their contract's sick-leave provisions.

You Know You’re a Golfaholic When: You spend over $300 on a new club solely for the hope that you might gain an extra 3 yards with it.

Comprehensive Family Dental Care in a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere

Kevin M. Connelly, D.M.D.

One morning at the bargaining table, the company's chief negotiator held aloft the morning edition of the newspaper, "This man," he announced, "called in sick yesterday!"

There on the sports page, was a photo of the supposedly ill employee, who had just won a local golf tournament with an excellent score.

The silence in the room was broken by a union negotiator. "Wow," he said. "Just think of what kind of score he could have had if he hadn't been sick!"

Historical Fun Fact The first draft of the Declaration of Independence was presented by drafting committee member, Thomas Jefferson, on June 28, 1776. Other members of the committee were John Adams, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin and Philip Livingston.

There are two things to aim at in life: first to get what you want and, after that, to enjoy it.

Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.

Androscoggin Habitat for Humanity kicks-off its ‘Weatherization Assistance Program’ Habitat to offer free phase one weatherization to qualified, low-income homeowners Androscoggin Habitat for Humanity will begin phase one weatherization of homes in partnership with qualified, low-income homeowners. The new weatherization assistance program is aimed at providing energy efficiency services to low-income homeowners in need.

Habitat for Humanity’s Weather Assistance Program has a goal to serve low-income homeowners who struggle to maintain their energy costs during the winter and summer months. The work is done by volunteers who use donated materials whenever possible.

The homeowners income must fall between 30% and 60% of the area’s median income by family size, be willing to partner with Habitat during the weatherization process, live in Androscoggin or Oxford County, and have a home that is able to be safely weatherized.

“We are very excited to be able to serve even more families in our community with this much needed program and are looking forward to weatherize our first home by October 1st.

Helping people weatherize their homes fits in seamlessly with Habitat's core mission of making decent, affordable housing available to low-income families.” Kim Veilleux, Office Manager.

The Weatherization Program is primarily underwritten by a state-wide grant from Dead River Company, with additional assistance from Gorham Savings Bank and Bangor Savings Bank.

For more information about how you can get involved with Androscoggin Habitat for Humanity or apply for this program, please contact us at 786-2598 or androhabitat@roadrunner.com.

Application deadline is September 1, 2013.

Walking vs. Riding

Stop repeat offenders. Don't re-elect them!

Submitted by Jimbo

Four old men went into the pro shop after playing 18 holes of golf.

The pro asked, "Did you guys have a good game today?"

The first old guy said, "Yes, I had three riders today."

The second old guy said, "I had the most riders ever. I had five."

The third old guy said, "I had 7 riders, the same as last time."

The last old man said, "I beat my old record. I had 12 riders today." ‘ After they went into the locker room, another golfer who had heard the old guys talking about their game went to the pro and said, "I have been playing golf for a long time and thought I knew all the terminology of the game, but what's a rider?"

The pro said, "A rider is when you hit the ball far enough to get in the golf cart and ride to it."

It was not until 1804 that the White House celebrated the first public Independence Day event. In 1941, Congress formally declared July 4 a federal holiday.

Vacation Time Submitted by Jimbo

My two-year-old cousin scared us one summer by disappearing during our lakeside vacation.

More than a dozen relatives searched the forest and shoreline, and everyone was relieved when we found Alex playing calmly in the woods.

"Listen to me, Alex," his mother said sharply. "From now on when you want to go someplace, you tell Mommy first, okay?"

Alex thought about that for a moment and said, "Okay. Disney World."

An engineering student was walking on campus one day when another engineering student rode up on a shiny new bicycle.

CummingsAgency.com

You're never too old to learn something stupid.

The second engineer replied "Well, yesterday I was walking along minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said 'Take what you want!'"

The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice, the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

Historical Fun Fact On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Second Continental Congress.

However, the 56 signatories did not execute the landmark document at the same time, nor did they all sign the document on July 4. Instead, the most prolific signing date occurred the following month on August 2, when 50 men endorsed it.

The Fourth of July weekend was approaching, and Miss Pelham, the nursery school teacher, took the opportunity to tell her class about patriotism. “We live in a great country,” she announced. “One of the things we should be happy is that, in this country, we are all free.”

Trevor, who was a little boy in her class, came walking up to her from the back of the room.

He stood with his hands on his hips and said loudly, “I'm not free. I'm four.”

After a brief pause Little Jimbo answered, "That's just what I say, 'What's the difference?'"

When asked whether a pair of trousers were singular or plural, Little Jimbo replied, "Well, they are singular at the top and plural at the bottom."

Finally the psychologist decided to test his spelling and asked him, "How do you spell Banana?"

The psychologist then wrote on his report: "If you are not having problems with Little Jimbo it would not be normal."

Puzzled, the secretary said, "Excuse me, sir?"

He repeated, "I want to talk to the head hog at the trough!"

She then realized the man wanted to talk to the pastor. Somewhat indignant she said, "Sir if you want to talk to our pastor, you will have to address him properly. You should call him Pastor, or Reverend, or Brother, but you certainly cannot refer to him as the Head Hog at the Trough!"

A man and his wife walked into a dentist's office.The man said to the dentist, "Doctor, I'm in one heck of a big hurry! I have two buddies sitting out in my car waiting for us to go play golf. So forget about the anesthetic and just pull the tooth and be done with it. I don't have time to wait for the anesthetic to work!"

The dentist thought to himself, "My goodness, this sure is a very brave man, asking me to pull his tooth without using anything to kill the pain." So the dentist asked him, "Which tooth is it, sir?"

The man turned to his wife and said, "Open your mouth, Honey, and show the doctor which tooth hurts."

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

On July 8, 1776, the first Independence Day celebrations occurred in Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell rang from Independence Hall’s tower on that date. The purpose of the bell ringing was to summon the public to assemble and hear the first reading of the Declaration.

Colonel John Nixon performed that momentous reading.

Steve Durant is the owner and head instructor at Steve’s Dojo on Minot Ave. in Auburn. He studies and teaches traditional Okinawan Isshin-ryu karate for all ages as well as self-protection and defense for men, women, and seniors.

“Self-Protection is an essential skill in our day and age. You may carry a weapon or pepper spray for self-defense but do you have the training to keep an attacker at bay while you reach for it?” asks Steve. “Knowing how to use your own body as means of defense can save your life or help you to protect your loved ones.”

Steve started studying martial arts in Dexter, Maine in 1983 under Sensei Mike Ricker of Ricker's School of Isshin-Ryu where after 5 years he became an instructor. Steve then branched off with Sensei Mike's permission to start a school in Greenville, Maine. He then studied Isshin-Ryu under Sensei Tim Stienwalks of Gorham, Maine, privately for many years. He opened his own Dojo in Auburn this year. Steve is a certified executive protection specialist through the career training institute in Brewer, Maine. He also has a diploma in Fitness & Nutrition and has been certified in CPR as well.

Steve urges anyone who might be interested in karate or protection classes to stop by and check out a class first hand!

Steve’s Dojo is located at 1000 Minot Ave., Auburn. Call 4200139 for more details and see their ad on page 80.

If The Shoe Fits Submitted by Thomas Hill

The clerk in a shoe store was trying hard to persuade his customer that a pair of uncomfortable shoes fit her.

"I'm telling you, these shoes are too pointed and too narrow," argued the customer.

"But, madam," replied the salesman, "everyone is wearing narrow, pointed shoes this season."

"That may be," countered the customer, "but I'm still wearing my last season's feet."

Historical Fun Fact John Hancock was the first and only party to execute the Declaration on July 4, 1776, and he did so in his role as President of the Second Continental Congress. The final signer was Thomas McKean in January 1777.

Hiding Place

A fool and his money rarely get together to start with.

Submitted by Jimbo

One year, Bobby's family was having the "extended family" 4th of July cookout at their home. One of the special treats that year was the lighting of the fireworks (Roman candles, bottle rockets, missile batteries, etc.) they had bought out of state (they're illegal in their state).

Just before they were to arrive, a cousin calls, saying their neighbor's plans had just fallen through, and could they bring them along to the picnic they even had extra food to bring…"Sure, the more the merrier!"

Upon arrival and meeting of their cousin's neighbor, it is discovered that he's a police officer. The father turns as innocently as he can to Bobby, and whispers to him to grab the paper bag of fireworks sitting in the kitchen and hide them somewhere quickly.

Bobby disappears, and the father changes the topic to food for the day. This family had brought some chicken to grill, so the father tells them the gas grill is all set to use out back - just turn on the gas and push the ignition button with the lid still closed.

They head out to the

I did not get my degree in the custodial arts just to be called a janitor.

Sand Shot Submitted by Jimbo

An elderly gentleman recently moved to a new town and joined the local golfing club.

But when he went to the club for the first time to play he was told there wasn't anybody he could play with because they were all out on the course. Seeing the man's disappointment, the assistant pro came over and asked how good a player he was.

"I'm really not that bad," he replied. "The only real problem I have is getting out of sand traps."

The assistant pro decided to try him out. It turned out he did play well, and coming to the par four 18th they were both even.

The pro had a nice drive and was able to get on the green where he landed 2-putts for a par. The older gentleman had a nice drive also, but his approach shot landed in a sand trap next to the green.

Playing from the sand trap he hit a high ball which landed on the green... and rolled right into the hole! It was a birdie and he won the game.

The pro walked over to the sand trap where the older man was still (continued on next page)

Flying Saucer The Frisbee was originally designed as a tin pie plate in the 1870’s.

It was a marketing scheme to encourage homemakers to see the name "Frisbee" on the pie tin and think how much easier it would be to buy a pie instead of making one.

Eventually, Elihu Frisbee’s pies were sold all over Connecticut. In the 1940’s, Yale students began tossing the pie tins to one another in a game of catch. The game caught on throughout the campus. About 10 years later, the president of Wham-O saw the pie-tin tossing fun at Yale. He saw this as a toy he could easily market. There were issues with the tin, so the plastic disc was born. Because of the craze of UFOs during this time, the plastic disc quickly became known as a "flying saucer".

Some flatfish use camouflage to hide themselves on the ocean floor.

Generation Gap Back in the day when CD players were the hot thing I bought my mother a compact-disc player and some CDs, she was excited to discover she no longer needed to rewind or fast-forward tapes or move the needle on her record player.

"The whole CD?" I asked.

"No," she replied, "just one side."

Shark!

Sharks are one of the oldest living creatures in the sea. There is evidence that the shark species has been around for more than 400 million years. Current sharks are much smaller than those from dinosaur times.

The sharks that lived in the dino-age were up to 80 feet long, where today’s largest shark, the Great White, grows to lengths of only 25 feet.

Father William, the old priest, made it a practice to visit the parish school one day a week. He walked into the 4th grade class, where the children were studying the states, and asked them how many states they could name. They came up with about 40 names. Father William jokingly told them that in his day students knew the names of all the states.

Submitted by Jimbo

A fellow was walking along a country road when he came upon a farmer working in his field. The man called out to the farmer, "How long will it take me to get to the next town?"

The farmer didn't answer. The guy waited a bit and then started walking again.

After the man had gone about a hundred yards, the farmer yelled out, "About 20 minutes."

"Thank you. But why didn't you tell me that when I asked you?"

"Didn't know how fast you could walk."

Little Buggers Mosquitoes are insects that have been around for 30 million years.

They have chemical sensors that can detect mammals from 100 feet away; they have heat sensors to detect warm-blooded creatures; and they have visual sensors that detect movement and contrast in colors. The first activity of an adult mosquito is to mate.

The females lay their eggs and then live from days to months afterward. The male mosquito dies within days after mating.

Out ’n About with Miami Mike

Happy Independence month Uncle Andy’s Digesters and welcome to midsummer. That’s right, we have made it once again to midsummer. How do I know you made it, you ask? Simple. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be reading this right now. The Bruins were seconds away from game seven, the Spurs were seconds away from a championship, and all that is left to watch is the Red Sox lead the division, which isn’t too shabby.

Once a year we all unite as Americans and remember all of those who gave their lives and have served to protect the freedoms and rights that we, as citizens, take for granted nearly every day. I hope you all had a fantastic BBQ and had your fill of steaks, burgers, chicken and maybe even a piece of tofu. I also hope that you had a blast, figuratively and literally, with the fantastic fireworks, which are legal in Maine. I’m not sure if I love the big bangs, bright lights, or the smell of gunpowder but they are simply magnificent.

If you crave a bit more bang try checking out R.D. Tactical.

They are a leader in concealed weapons and basic firearms training, and have everything your tactical heart desires. They definitely have the bang you are looking for in your buck.

Now that you have plans to go over to R.D. Tactical for a bit of training, bring Fido down to Doggz Inn doggie daycare. Let him play around with his pals and run about in one of the premier doggie accommodations available to man’s (and woman’s) best four-legged friends while you practice your firearm skills.

Regardless of how you choose to spend your July, I hope it is filled with fun, relaxation and a whole lot of Uncle Andy’s Digest! As always, email me at uncleandysdigestmiamimike@aol.com and follow me on twitter at UADMiamiMike. Until next month, sweat little, digest often!

Androscoggin Habitat for Humanity Announces its Volunteer and Corporate Sponsor of the Year

Out ’n About at B2B Trade Show at the Colisee

The Androscoggin Habitat for Humanity had the pleasure of presenting its 2013 volunteer and corporate sponsor of the year awards at its annual meeting in May. Paul Leonard, President of the Board of Directors, made the announcement.

Receiving the award for Volunteer of the Year, was a very worthy couple, Paul and Sally Belisle of Lewiston. When someone pictures in their mind the face of Habitat, one cannot help but picture this couple. Joining the Androscoggin Habitat Board of Directors in 1989, these two individuals have never looked back and are still continuing to go strong. They have individually served as President, Vice President and Treasurer on the executive committee of the board of directors, and have chaired or been committee members on almost all of our various committees. In 1995 they took a brief absence from the ar Ye the of r tee ing their 2013 Volun eiv rec le board, continuing to vollis Be for lly at Sa Paul and scoggin Habit ard, President of Andro unteer at various events Award from Paul Leon ectors.

Humanity Board of Dir and builds, only to return as board members a couple of years later. Our ReStore would not have opened in 2006 had it not been for all the time and dedication from this couple. They have also been one of the driving forces behind the St. Philip’s annual breakfast for Habitat for many years.

This couple not only donates their time and finances to the Androscoggin affiliate, they also spend time volunteering at Habitat International in Americus, Georgia, working with the Women’s Build Program and in other capacities.

Receiving the award for Corporate Sponsor of the Year was a very well known, highly respected company in our community, Uncle Andy’s Digest.

Uncle Andy’s has been a great supporter of Androscoggin Habitat. This company has been a sponsor of our golf tournament since 2008 and has had a team play at Kim Veilleux, Of fice Manag er for the An the tournament for a for Humanity & Paul Leon droscoggin ar gin Habitat Habitat for Humanity d (r), President of the few years now.

We would like to take this time to thank Jim Marston and the team at Uncle Andy’s Digest and Paul and Sally Belisle for their years of support to the families in need of decent housing in our community.

A Birthday Gift to Dad

By Natasha Piirainen In honor of my father’s upcoming birthday, I figured a column dedicated to him would be a wonderful birthday present. Not only is Ed Piirainen the two time Longest Drive Champion of the Poland Knights baseball golf scramble fundraiser, but he is also a fantastic father and an inspirational coach. And like most families, sometimes us daughter’s don’t always hear exactly what our father’s are trying to say. Here are a few common misconceptions that often pop up in the Piirainen house between my dad and myself: When dad says: No you cannot change the channel, I am watching the game.

I hear: I love you. Feel free to watch whatever reality television show you want.

When dad says: Why doesn’t anyone ever change the toilet paper in this house?!

I hear: I love you. I do not mind changing the toilet paper roll as it does not take too much time out of my day.

When dad says: I wish I had a son, there are too many girls in this house.

I hear: I love you and I’m proud to be in touch with my feminine side.

When dad says: No, you cannot bring my new truck back to college with you and leave that rusty 1999 Subaru here.

I hear: I love you, but I also love my truck.

Lucky for him, I love him, too.

And that’s why he gets such a delightful column in Uncle Andy’s for a birthday gift instead of an embarrassing story!

Happy birthday, dad!

Off and on throughout her shift Dr. Wilson would run up and down the hallway, yelling, "Tetanus, measles, flu...”

Very curious, the nurse asked the head nurse, "Why does Dr. Wilson keep doing that?"

"Oh, just ignore him,” the head nurse said. ”He thinks he calls all the shots around here."

Historical Fun Fact The names of the Declaration’s signers were kept secret from the public for more than six months to protect their identities. If the U.S. had not won independence, the signers would have been declared traitors and put to death under English law.

Chrissy Lizotte-Ames worked day and night after entering our photo contest at the B2B trade show in June. She was campaigning for votes (like a politician but she didn’t make any promises) and ended with 387 votes to claim the top spot in the competition.

Dan Cunliffe of Republic Jewelry jokingly tried to claim the Kindle. He later admitted that Chrissy worked hard to win the contest and it was all her doing.

Finally!

Sure enough, I drove just a couple blocks and there it was...

There is nothing like the feel of the sun on your face and the wind in your hair, is there?

On A Mission After marrying a promising young physician in 1867, Carry Nation was horrified to see her husband destroy his career and his life after only two years. He drank himself to death.

Mrs. Nation was so disgusted with alcohol that she smashed up over 30 drinking establishments. This sixfoot-tall woman would enter a bar and with such frenzy that all the male patrons ran in fright; she broke all the bottles and much of the furniture with rocks, bricks and hatchets.
