Found a great poetry site
http://www.poets.org/index.cfm

Did you know?
It was decided by one vote the Declaration of
Independence was written in English and not German.

Very young calves are sometimes fed magnets in order to
prevent hardware disease because it keeps metal objects
(nails, bits of wire) swallowed in a ball to reduce chances of
penetrating internal organs.

The US was undefeated in the Americas Cup for 132 years.

Dolly Parton met her husband at a Wishy Washy Laundromat.

Boiled water freezes faster than tap water because hot water
evaporates during the freezing process causing less ice but
faster freezing time.

I keep saying you can buy anything on eBay. Just look at this
from CoffeeBreak "Texas snowball melts eBay wallets,
Although they could find an abundance in the Midwest
Wednesday, people bid fast and furiously for Texas snowballs
being auctioned off on eBay. One auction, for a snowball made
Christmas Eve in Laguna Vista, Texas, was up to $1,225 with
44 bids as of midday Wednesday. Another, hawked as "the
purest south Texas snow" from McAllen, was up to $997.

Patricia Lucas, 18, of Sugar Land was among the Texans trying
to turn the white into green, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The sale is "probably weird for people who live up north and
see snow all the time," Lucas said. But it had been decades since
Houston had snow for Christmas and more than 100 years since
snow fell in the Rio Grande Valley. Lucas said she is selling only
one snowball and keeping others "maybe forever.""People sell
crazy stuff on eBay, and I figured someone would buy a
snowball," Lucas said. "

Or the price is more reasonable for Arizona snow I guess

The holidays are over; are you sick of cooking? Thanks to Real
Simple for these ideas on turning take out into company food
in no time. Try 'em on Superbowl Sunday!

BTW thanks to Dan and Erin for my subscription I love it!

Mediterranean Bruschetta
start with:
Garlic bread from your favorite Italian spot.

to make:
Slather slices with prepared marinara or pesto sauce.
Top with goat cheese or mozzarella, a marinated pepper,
or an oil-packed sun-dried tomato, then toast in the oven.

Guacamole-stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
start with:
Fresh guacamole from a gourmet market.

to make:
Take a pint of cherry tomatoes, cut off the tops, and scoop
out the seeds. Take a thin slice off the bottom of each to help
it stand up. Fill each with guacamole and top with a cilantro
leaf.

Taco casserole.
start with:
Turn Mexican takeout into a meal by layering chicken, beef,
and bean soft-shell tacos in a baking pan. Top with salsa and
grated queso fresco or Monterey jack and bake till bubbly.
Serve with guacamole on the side.

Burrito Buffet
start with:
Request 8 soft flour tortillas, 1 large serving of Mexican rice
(about 2 cups), and 1 order each of salsa, beans, guacamole,
chicken or beef strips, plus any tasty-sounding salads on
offer that day. Place the ingredients in festive serving dishes
and place on a buffet table, along with 1 sliced avocado (rub
a little lime juice on the flesh to keep it from turning brown),
1 cup grated Cheddar or crumbled queso fresco (white
Mexican cheese available at some supermarkets), 1/2 cup
sour cream, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 3 sliced scallions
(or 2 tablespoons minced red onion), and additional lime
wedges. Let people assemble their burritos as they like.
Serves: 6 to 8 as a main course.

Chicken- or Shrimp-boat Hors d'oeuvres
start with:
Your favorite chicken or shrimp Chinese stir-fry.

to make:
Mound spoonfuls of stir-fry into the cuplike center leaves
from a head of Boston lettuce. If desired, top the boats with
chopped nuts or scallion slices.

Asian-Mexican fusion.
start with:
Roll any dish with rice and some soy sauce in a giant tortilla.
Slice into single-serving pieces.

Antipasto Platter
start with:
Assorted salad-bar treats.

to make:
Arrange Swiss and Cheddar cheese cubes, prosciutto and
salami slices, marinated vegetables (artichoke hearts, red
peppers, mushrooms), mixed olives, and giant capers on a
platter.

Dressy Artichoke Chicken Salad
start with:
1 roasted chicken Toss the shredded meat from 1 roasted
chicken with 3 tablespoons good-quality purchased
vinaigrette (or blend 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2
teaspoons red wine vinegar, and 1 crushed garlic clove), plus
1 cup drained and chopped marinated artichoke hearts, and
1 cup cubed fresh mozzarella or crumbled fresh goat cheese.
Serve over washed baby greens (No bagged lettuce for me
because of the nitrates but the recipe says 2 bags should be
enough). Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Serves: 4 to 6 people.

Now my next suggestion is get out the slow cooker use your
favorite recipe for chili, stew, even a can of chili and Velveeta
mixed together (trust me they will love it) served with tortilla
chips or give this next recipe a shot:

Tuscan Pot Roast
hands-on time: 30 minutes
total time: 4 1/2 hours or 8 1/2 hours
makes 6 to 8 servings
Egg noodles on the side will soak up the delicious gravy.
1/3 cup olive oil
2 1/2- to 3-pound bottom-round pot roast
2 large onions, quartered
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced (2 cups)
2 large carrots, thinly sliced (2 cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
1 1/2-ounce package dried mushrooms
(such as portobello)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, chopped, liquid reserved
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and
brown the roast on all sides. Transfer the roast to a 4- to 6-
quart slow cooker. To the fat remaining in the skillet, add the
onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently,
until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and
stir to coat the vegetables; transfer to the cooker. Pour the
wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits; add
the contents of the skillet to the cooker, along with the
mushrooms, salt, oregano, and tomatoes (plus 1 cup of their liquid).
Cook 8 hours on low heat, or 4 hours on high heat.
to make it without a slow cooker
hands-on time: 30 minutes
total time: 3 1/2 hours makes 6 to 8 servings
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and
brown the roast on all sides. Transfer roast to a heavy
casserole. To the fat remaining in the skillet, add the onions,
celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until
tender, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir
to coat the vegetables; transfer to the casserole. Pour the
wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits; add
the contents of the skillet to the casserole, along with the
mushrooms, salt, oregano, and tomatoes (plus 1 cup of
their liquid). Cover the casserole and cook in a 300ยบ F
oven for 3 hours or until the meat is very tender, adding
more of the tomato liquid if necessary.

If you can't wait for the football part

or do you really just watch for the commercials?

Personally I am into the company and the food.
Try the easiest Taco Dip ever.
Spread 8 oz cream cheese on large plate.
Spread 10 oz sour cream over that
Pour on a jar of favorite salsa or taco sauce
Top with shredded cheese (any of the taco/mexican kind
work the best but even plain ole cheddar is fine)
Now get creative, do you have green onions with nice tops?
or black olives? Green, yellow or red peppers? Pick any or
all, chop or slice and decorate your dip in rings or sections.
If you are taking this somewhere just put the chopped
garnish in ziplocks and pick up the rest of the ingredients
on the way to the party.
Just grab a big plate, (I have a big metal one which travels
well) something to spread with (can double as serving
untensil), and your baggies. If you planned ahead, the
ingredients all can be in a bag ready to grab from the
fridge on the way to the party. Toss in your serving
plate, spreader and a bag or two of chips.
Don't be suprised when its all gone.

On to the chuckles:

The blonde wife came home from her first day commuting
into the city. Her husband noticed she was looking a little
peaked and asked, "Honey, are you feeling all right?"

"Not really," she replied. "I'm nauseous from sitting
backward on the train."

"Poor dear," he said. "Why didn't you ask the person sitting
across from you to switch seats for a while?"

"I couldn't," she replied, "there was no one there."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A tourist parked his car in downtown Washington, D.C.
He said to a man standing near the curb, "Listen, I'm
going to be only a couple of minutes. Would you watch
my car while I run into this store?"

"What?" the man huffed. "Do you realize that I am a
member of the United States Congress?"

"Well no," the tourist said, "I didn't realize that. But it's
all right. I'll trust you anyway."

Christmas Break was over and the teacher was asking
the class about their vacations. She turned to little Johnny
and asked what he did over the break.

"We visited my grandmother in Punxsutawney,
Pennsylvania," he replied.

"That sounds like an excellent vocabulary word," the
teacher said. "Can you tell the class how you spell that?"

Little Johnny thought about it and said, "You know, come
to think of it, we went to Ohio."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two guys are in a bar. One says, "Did your hear the news?
Mike is dead!"

"Wow, what happened to him?"

"Well, he was on his way over to my house the other day
and when he arrived outside the house he didn't brake
properly and boom! He hit the pavement and the car flips
up and he crashed through the sunroof. He went flying
through the air and smashed through my upstairs
bedroom window."

"What a horrible way to die!"

"No no, he survived that, that didn't kill him at all. So, he's
landed in my upstairs bedroom and he's all covered in
broken glass on the floor. Then he spots the big old antique
wardrobe we have in the room and reaches up for the handle
to try to pull himself up. He's just dragging himself up when
bang, this massive wardrobe comes crashing down on top of
him, crushing him and breaking most of his bones."

"What a way to go, that's terrible!"

"No no, that didn't kill him, he survived that. He manages to
get the wardrobe off him and crawls out onto the landing. He
tries to pull himself up on the banister but under his weight,
the banister breaks and he goes falling down on to the first
floor. In mid-air, all the broken banister poles spin and fall
on him, pinning him to the floor, sticking right through him."

"Now that is the most unfortunate way to go!"

"No no, that didn't kill him, he even survived that. So he's
on the downstairs landing, just beside the kitchen. He crawls
in to the kitchen, tries to pull himself up on the stove, but
reached for a big pot of boiling hot water. Whoosh, the whole
thing came down on him and burned most of his skin off him."

"Man, what a way to go!"

"No no, he survived that, he survived that! He's lying on the
ground, covered in boiling water and he spots the phone and
tries to pull himself up, to call for help, but instead he grabs
the light switch and pulls the whole thing off the wall and the
water and electricity didn't mix and so he got electrocuted.
BAM, 10,000 volts shot through him!"

"Now that is one awful way to go!"

"No no, he survived that, he..."

"Hold on now, just how did he die?"

"I shot him!"

"You shot him? Why did you shoot him?"


"He was wrecking my house."

When her late husband's will was read, a widow learned
he had left the bulk of his fortune to another woman.
Enraged, she rushed to change the inscription on her
spouse's tombstone.

"Sorry, lady," said the stonecutter. "I inscribed 'Rest in
Peace' on your orders. I can't change it now."

"Very well," she said grimly. "Just add, 'Until We Meet Again.' "

A mystery-lover takes his place in the theater for opening
night, but his seat is way back in the theater, far from the
stage. The man calls an usher over and whispers, "I just
love a good mystery, and I have been anxiously anticipating
the opening of this play. However, in order to carefully
follow the clues and fully enjoy the play, I have to watch a
mystery close up. Look how far away I am! If you can get
me a better seat, I'll give you a handsome tip."


The usher nods and says he will be back shortly. Looking
forward to a large tip, the usher speaks with his co-workers
in the box office, hoping to find some closer tickets. With just
three minutes left until curtain, he finds an unused ticket at
the Will Call window and snatches it up. Returning to the man
in the back of the theater, he whispers, "Follow me."

The usher leads the man down to the second row and proudly
points out the empty seat right in the middle.

"Thanks so much," says the theatergoer. "This seat is perfect."
He then hands the usher a quarter.

The usher looks down at the quarter, leans over, and whispers,
"The butler did it in the parlor with the candlestick."

No one should live by the early bird policy without finding

Here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief
to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies...
The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart
attacks than the British or Americans. However, the French
eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the
British or Americans. Meanwhile, the Japanese drink very
little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British
or Americans while the Italians drink excessive amounts of
red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British
or Americans.

Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. Apparently,
speaking English is what kills you.

In the back woods of Kentucky, a redneck's wife went
into labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor was
called out to assist in the delivery. Since there was no
electricity, the doctor handed the father-to-be a lantern
and said, "Here, you hold this high so I can see what I
am doing. " Soon, a baby boy was brought in to the world.

"Whoa there, " said the doctor, "Don't be in such a rush
to put that lantern down. I think there's another one
coming."Sure enough, within minutes he delivered a baby
girl. "Hold that lantern up, don't set it down yet; there's
another one! " said the doctor. And within a few more
minutes, he had delivered another baby girl.

"No, no don't be in a hurry to put down that lantern, it
seems there's yet another one coming!" cried the doctor.
The redneck scratched his head in bewilderment, and
asked the doctor, "You reckon it might be the light that's
attractin' 'em?"

CDC Warning: New STD is Rampant
The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning
about a new virulent strain of sexually transmitted disease.
This disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk
behavior. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim
(pronounced "gonna re-elect him").

Many victims have contracted it after having been screwed
for the past 4 years, in spite of having taken measures to
protect themselves from this especially troublesome disease.

Cognitive sequelae of individuals infected with Gonorrhea
Lectim include, but are not limited to: Antisocial personality
disorder traits; delusions of grandeur with a distinct messianic
flavor; chronic mangling of the English language; extreme
cognitive dissonance; inability to incorporate new information;
pronounced xenophobia; inability to accept responsibility for
actions; exceptional cowardice masked by acts of misplaced
bravado; uncontrolled facial smirking; ignorance of geography
and history; tendencies toward creating evangelical theocracies;
and a strong propensity for categorical, all-OR nothing behavior.

The disease is sweeping Washington. Naturalists and
epidemiologists are amazed and baffled that this malignant
disease originated only a few years ago in a Texas Bush.

Also from Erin

DEAR ABBY,

My husband has a long record of money problems.
He runs up huge credit card bills and at the end of the
month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying
I am stealing his money. He says pay the minimum and
let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can
hardly keep up with the interest.

Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our
neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The
few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been
giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even
more. Also, he has gotten religious in a big way, although
I don't quite understand it. One week he hangs out with
Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is
the Anti-Christ.

And now he has been going to the gym an awful lot and
is into wearing uniforms and cowboy outfits, and I hate
to think what that means. Finally, the last straw. He's
demanding that before anyone can be in the same room
with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly
creepy! Can you help?

Signed, Lost in DC

Dear Lost: Stop whining, Laura. You can divorce the jerk
any time you want. The rest of us are stuck with him for
four more years!

Q: How many Bush Administration officials does it take
to screw in a light bulb?

A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its
conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its
lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal
media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything
you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate
freedom?

Or

it take to screw the country?

God looked at the earth and wanted to know what kind of
behavior was going on. He decided to send an angel down to
Earth to check it out. So he called one of His angels and sent
the angel to Earth for a time.

When he returned, he told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth;
95% are misbehaving and 5% are not." God thought for a
moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down a second
angel to get another opinion."

So God called another angel and sent him to Earth for a time
too. When the angel returned he went to God and said, "Yes,
it's true-the Earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving and 5%
are being good."

God was not pleased. So He decided to E-mail the 5%
that were good, because He wanted to encourage them.
Give them a little something to help them keep going.

Do you know what that E-mail said?

No? I didn't get one either.
