Q: I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is
this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it…
don’t waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat?
Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass(green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way.
Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
exercise program?
A: Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain…Good!
vegetable oil. In fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
the best feel-good food around!
had about food and diets.
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways
- Chardonnay in one hand – chocolate in the other
-body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming : Woo Hoo, what a ride!

Life is too short for drama and petty problems,
so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly.

Life is too short to be anything but happy...

A: The sun shines down on the leaves and makes them perspire.

Q: How can you delay milk turning sour? (brilliant, love this!)
A: Keep it in the cow.

Q: What causes the tides in the oceans?
A: The tides are a fight between the Earth and the Moon. All water tends to flow towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon, and nature hates a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight.

Q: What are steroids?
A: Things for keeping carpets still on the stairs.

Q: What happens to your body as you age?

I would love to be able to be reaquainted with Aaron because we have shared a lifetime. He is an aussie from NSW works in a seafood resturaunt in Coolangatta in the middle all the tourist attractions. He is 30 years old this year.

My sugar intake is keeping me from losing the inches that I want. There is three things that I absolutely cannot live without which two have alot of sugar. Coffee, Chocolate, and cigarettes.

I speak what may be called street spanish which based on the puerto ricans way of speech. I want to be able to speak it more on a professional level because of all the other spanish speaking cultures. I read it well and write some but there is alot that I would have trouble explaining to a client type situation.

I have the experience but it seems that my age has come into play which is a very reason to not hire me. I am good at dealing with the young people that most say how hard and difficult they can be. I feel they are the future and need the most guidence they can get. I have proven that I can handle anything I get myself into.

Both coffee and tea have the same amount of caffine buit there are things in both that are worse for you than the caffine. I love coffee and black tea just to let you know but what is the worst in either is formaldihyde (spell check) it is in shoe polish. As far as decaffinated goes, it has to have been naturally decaffinated.

I was in Australia for 3 months in the summer of 2002 I drew a heart with a kings crown,2 swords crossed in back of the heart which is shaded in red and written inside is Eternal Soul Mates. Its about 3 inches big

This will happen because if I don’t, I would have to pay $10,000 and let a year of my time go wasted. I will graduate April 2007

Isn’t it a wonderfully complicated thing? I just want to feel comfortable with the privilage of having a house instead of an apartment.

I have proved that you can have a trusting relationship with a teenage child. My daughter is 17 and has made raising her a difficult task. But I see in her all the positive possibilities that teens can make. She just discovered self control of weaknesses that many grown people have.

I’m from S NewJersey. I’m living near the Pocono’s for the past 2 yrs. w/ my 16 yr.old girl. How I moved up here is a long story. I’m not new to MSN nor to the internet. I am honest& to the point.My #1 thing is respect online and in person. First impressions do matter. You don’t gotta like me, just don’t disrespect me or mine.
Interests: All Dracula movies, alternitive and todays rock, club, R&B, some hip hop
Wood crafts, hot glue gun, cars, football, and sometimes people. :)

I want to locate an organization that catches would be child molestors on the internet. I want to be apart of this.

As I realize, I have had this all my life but since I always done what needs to be done, They have a problem seeing me having depression. I hide my weaknes from people and don’t know how to show what I hide. I am in school, in my forth term. I don’t want to deal with this anymore. I just want to stay in bed and wait until my day comes to leave this world. I have no interest in living.
People speak of God as if he can fix everything if you believe and go to church every week. I do not have the money for gas in order to go to a church that I’m semi comfortable with. Then there is the tithings. They say if you pay your tithing you will recieve way more than you give. I do not believe in things that I do not see.
I take Wellbutrin but it makes me sleepy that I cannot focus on the schooling.

is to not have depression caused by my second husband. (EX)
He has my youngest child, my son whom I miss deeply. He is with some older woman who he married. I loved this man more than anything except my self respect. I was left with nothing but my one daughter to support. I wasted just about 8 years of my life just to end up worse than I was when I met him. Since then, I keep trying but I manage to fall. He made my son call this lady mom.

Are there any out there that does not have a scam? Is there anyone out there that is willing to help someone get started without wanting $100 or more to start? What happen to helping people?

I do not want to be rich nor wellthy. I just want a job so I can get my own house and a car that is younger than 10 years old. I want to be able to buy my daughter new clothing this year. I want to be able to buy myself a few new jeans and to join a gym again.

The following mention of the name of Catawissa appears to be in a letter written by French trader, James LeTort, who toured the whole length of the Susquehanna River among the Indians and whites alike. He begins a letter, “Catawasse, May ye 12, 1728.”

In 1743, Conrad Weiser, the Indian language interpreter for the Pennsylvania Colonial Government was asked to go to Shamokin, (where Sunbury is today), to meet some of the chiefs of the local tribes. One of the chiefs was names Lapachpiton, who Weiser later writes was the chief of the Delaware Indians living near Catawasse. This man ruled the people of the present day Catawissa, the land of “pure water”.

After the proprietary government in Philadelphia had made a treaty with the Indians regarding the land on which Catawissa now stands, in 1768 land speculators began looking with greedy eyes to the possibility of procuring large portions of the newly opened up lands for speculation and settlement.

As early as 1769, William Henry, a surveyor, took out a warrant for the land where Catawissa stands. After it was surveyed, the patent for the land was taken out in the names of Edward Shippen, Jr. and Joseph Shippen, Jr. on February 14th, 1770 and it was for 282¼ acres,

In March 1772, Northumberland County was formed out of a part of what was then Berks County. A month later is was divided into 7 townships, one of which was Augusta Township, which included the land where Catawissa now stands. In the same year, a young Quaker names Moses Roberts, was sent through Catawissa to Muncy to investigate disputes about land grants. He notes in his journal that he “felt the drawings of love in my heart to visit some friendly Catawesey and to have a meeting house among them for the worship of God.” Moses Roberts appears to have come back to Catawissa and build the first house in the vicinity of Catawissa. In 1773, Edward and Joseph Shippen, Jrs. issued a deed for 282¼ acres of land to Ellis Hughes. In 1774 the first grist mill in the county was built near the site of the paper mill along the Catawissa Creek. On June 15, 1776, Ellis Hughes and Hannah, his wife, deeded 90 acres of their land to Moses Roberts. In 1778, they deeded 92¼ acres to William Hughes. In 1785, a number of local citizens signed a petition asking that Augusta Township be divided. It was decided at the court in Sunbury, that Catawissa Township was to be laid out. In 1786, William Hughes wrote his Declaration of Intention regarding out the town into lots.

In 1787, William Hughes laid our the town of “Hughesburg, alias Catawissey, in the county of Northumberland, State of Pennsylvania, North America, on the “bank of the north-east tract of the river Susquehanna near the mouth of the Catawessey Creek, about two miles above Sunbury and about one-hundred and six miles from Philadelphia.” William Gray and John Sene were the surveyors. Water, Front, Second, Third and Fourth Streets extend east and west, parallel with the course of the river; Lumber, South, Main and Pine streets cross these, are named in order from the creek. The proprietor provided that lots were to be disposed of by lottery, and this seems to have been customary, in order to prevent partiality. It does not appear that this was done, for in 1789, John Mears secured titles to sixty-five lots, and became the virtual proprietor. It is well authenticated that William Henry, by virtue of his warrant for its survey in 1769, was the original owner of the tract in which the town plot was placed; but Edward and Joseph Shippen were the patentees, and from them the title was transferred to Hughes. In 1796, James Watson laid out the “Roberts Addition”, extending Second, Third and Fourth streets, and opening Walnut and North, parallel with Pine. The size of the town plot was then considerably in advance of its importance. In 1780, Isaiah Wilits established tannery at the corner of Third and South streets. Knappenberger and Wilits were proprietors of a ferry, and landed their flat where the bridge approaches have since been constructed.

The North Branch Canal was being built and it became apparent that there needed to be a bridge built to Catawissa. The construction started and on Jan 15, 1883 , it was completed at a cost of $26,000.00 In 1846, 5 spans of the bridge were destroyed by ice on the river, rebuilt, but on 1875, the entire structure was destroyed. The bridge was reconstructed and open in November, 1875.

Christian Brobst planned an enterprise allowing for the future development of Catawissa. His plan was to build a railroad from Catawissa to Tamaqua and in 1825 traversed the distance between the two points on foot, studied the topography of the Quaker Valley, and concluded that the plan was feasible. He induced several who seemed favorably impressed with the plan. Moncure Robinson, a civil engineer, was one of them. March 21, 1831, an act was passed by the legislature authorizing Christian and Joseph Paxton, also of Catawissa, William McKelvey and Ebenezer Daniel, of Bloomsburg, and others in Philadelphia and Reading, to receive subscriptions for the stock of the Little Schuylkill and Susquehanna Railroad Company. The terminal points of the railroad would be Catawissa and the Broad Mountain where the Wilkes-Barre state road intersects the Little Schuylkill. Contracts were signed for the grading and building of bridges. Capital was furnished by the United States Bank of Philadelphia. The new company fell on hard times and they were compelled to abandon their enterprise. For 5 years, the embankments and bridges lay unfinished. On March 20, 1849, the original corporation was reorganized and names the Catawissa, Williamsport and Erie Railroad Company. During the next 5 years, the railroad was finally completed. The first locomotive that ever appeared in Catawissa was the “Massachusetts,” which was brought from Philadelphia by canal and transported across the river on flat boat. On July 16, 1854, the first passenger train entered the town. William Cable was the conductor and John Johnson the engineer. The new company also ran into hard times and was eventually sold. The new purchasers names the company the Catawissa Railroad Company. It became apparent that Catawissa, due to it location with the mountains, needed to become the site for forming trains. With that, came the need for additional repair facilities and many of them were built in Catawissa.
The Quakers who first settled Catawissa shared in the devotion of their faith and built a meeting house on a knoll a short distance from the confluence of the Catawissa Creek and the Susquehanna River. It is a log building, nearly a square and the entrance is not visible from the front. The furniture inside is plain and not suggestive of comfort or elegance. In the rear of the structure is the burial ground surrounded by a stone wall. Within the enclosure are massive trees which would seem to indicate great age. This plain structure was fir first completed house or worship of the “North Branch” between Sunbury and Wyoming.

The education history of Catawissa, as well as its religious record, was begun by the Society of Friends around 1797. A sum on money was raised the Quakers in Philadelphia to establish a school in Catawissa. The Germans also had an interest in education of the area and also established a school in Catawissa. Eventually a school board was formed.

In 1974, Catawissa held its 200th Anniversary and a book was prepared about Catawissa and the areas around it. It is a fascinating study of the area.
