YOUR DREAMS....
.
JAM If you dream of eating jam you will suffer embarrassment at the hands of a woman through no fault of your own.
.
KANGAROO Seeing a kangaroo in your dreams foretells unexpected and exciting trips. | 
| .
KEYS To dream of keys denotes unexpected change. If the keys are lost, unpleasant adventures will affect you. To find keys means domestic peace and success in business.
.
KILLING If you dreamed of killing someone, whether intentionally or by accident, it signifies a period of severe emotional stress during which you must make a heroic effort to control your temper.
.
RUNNING Dream of running: a sign of a big change in your life.
.
SNAKES To see a lone snake and feel threatened by it shows that you have a bad enemy that is working against you, it also a warning against bodily harm from an enemy. To dream of many snakes in a pit is the foreboding of much bad luck in love or business. Should you overcome and kill a threatening snake in your dream shows that you will overcome your adversary and win out.
.
LETTER To dream of receiving a letter from a friend foretells their arrival or that you will hear from them soon.
.
LIGHTS A light shining out of the dark, or a flashlight beam, shows that you will finally find the truth in a situation or the answer to a personal problem that you have been searching for. If the light is dim, you will only find part of the solution. |

DATELINE: CANCER FUNDRAISER
Erin Marion, a Metro subscriber, walked in a 24 Relay in support of The American Cancer Society and its lifesaving mission on July 19 and 20. Several people sponsored her walk, but there is still time to donate to this great cause. Any sponsorship of her walk you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Can you believe that more than 1.3 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in the United States this year? Those are staggering statistics, but there is hope. Each of us can do something to save lives and help those already fighting this disease. That's why Erin decided to take action against cancer by supporting the American Cancer Society Relay For Life® event right here in my community. If you didn't join us at the event, will you please visit the site and make a donation to support our efforts? Either way, you will make a real difference in the lives of people facing cancer and in the lives of the people who love them.

This summer I did swim team, and I had a big swim banquet. At the banquet I got my ribbons. I got 8th place in freestyle and breaststroke, and 9th place in back stroke. The banquet was sooooo fun! We did the YMCA, Low, and other songs. On the diving boards, there was big smoke effect and lights. Then, when it got dark out, me and my friends had Lemonade in the kiddie pool. Then after swim, I did volleyball with Marina and Sabrina. We got super cool snacks. Once we had slushies. It was so fun. And one day, me, Auntie, and Jonas had a day together. We rode our bikes wherever we went (except home, there and back). We went to Mr. B’s, a store, then a pool. We rode 2 ½ miles total (Jonas said). My summer was AWESOME!
The End
PS… My next article, I’ll write more.

AUSTIN'S DORMROOM REMEDIESIt's time to go back to college. Here are some tips I picked up in my freshman year I would like to impart to your students... | 1. When working the cafeteria, avoid cutting yourself when slicing veggies by getting someone else to hold them while you chop.
2. Avoid arguments with the females about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.
3. For students with high blood pressure, simply cut yourself and bleed a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. | 
| 4. A mouse trap placed on top of the alarm clock will prevent you from hitting the snooze and going back to sleep on class day.
5. If you get on a bad coughing jag in class, take a large dose of laxative, then you'll be too afraid to cough.
6. You only need 2 tools at college, WD40 and duct tape. If it don't move, use the WD40, and if it moves, use the duct tape.
7. Finally, if you can't fix something with a hammer, it's probably an electrical problem. |

| AND FINALLY... A SINGLES AD FROM THE ATLANTA JOURNAL |
SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a good girl who loves to play. I would love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Call (404) 875-6420 and ask for me--I'll be waiting.... |
