and are much in control of your own life. People
don't always see things your way, but that doesn't
mean that you should do away with your beliefs.
Try to remember that your wild spirit can lead
to hurting yourself and others..

(18-26 points) You are DORIS DAY:
You are fun, friendly, and popular! You are a real
crowd pleaser. You have probably been out on the

after you have fun. Don't let the people you please
influence you to stray.

You are cute, and everyone loves you. You are a
best friend that no one takes the chance of losing.
You never hurt feelings and seldom have your
own feelings hurt.. Life is a breeze.... You are witty,
and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of back
stabbers, and you are worry-free.

(35-42 points) You are GRACE KELLY:
You are a lover. Romance, flowers, and wine are
all you need to enjoy yourself. You are serious
about all commitments and are a family person.
You call your Mom every Sunday, and never
forget a Birthday. Don't let your passion for
romance get confused with the real thing..

(43-50 points) You are KATHERINE HEPBURN:
You are smart, a real thinker.. Every situation is
approached with a plan. You are very healthy in
mind and body. You don't take crap from anyone..
You have only a couple of individuals that you
consider 'real friends'. You teach strong family
values. Keep your feet planted in them, but don't
overlook a bad situation when it does happen.

(51-60 points) You are ELI ZABETH TAYLOR:
Everyone is in awe of you. You know what you
want and how to get it. You have more friends
than you know what to do with. Your word is
your bond. Everyone knows when you say
something it is money in the bank. You attract
the opposite sex. Your intelligence overwhelms
most. Your memory is the next thing to
photographic. Everyone admires you because
you are so considerate and lovable. You know
how to enjoy life and treat people right.

Italian Tomato Garden

Italian Tomato Garden:

An old Italian lived alone
in Oak Park. He wanted
to plant his annual tomato
garden, but it was very
difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent,who used to help him, was in prison.

The old man wrote a letter to his son
and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able
to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old
to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my
troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig
the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.


Dear Pop,
Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie


At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and
dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized
to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.


Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I
could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie

Girlie

This was sent to me from a very good friend of mine.

I hope you like it...It made me smile and say "I agree"
on a lot of these items, especially #11.

Girlie Wisdom!

1. A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control
pills... she has 14 kids but doesn't really care.

2. One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates
can make a woman gain 5 lbs.

3. My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.

4. The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.

5. The nice part about living in a small town is that when you
don't know what you are doing, someone else does.

6. The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by
then, your body and your fat are really good friends.

7. Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.

8. Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain
consciousness.

9. I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing
together and setting fire to my knickers'.

10. Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and
it shrinks 2 sizes!

11. Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things
like...'You know sometimes I forget to eat!' .....Now I've forgotten
my address, my mother's maiden name and my keys, but I have
never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to
forget to eat!

12. The trouble with some women is that they get all excited
about nothing and then they marry him.

13. I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress
are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are
they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day!


SEND THIS TO 5 BRIGHT WOMEN YOU KNOW AND MAKE
THEIR DAY!!!

LIVE SIMPLY.....LAUGH OFTEN.....LOVE DEEPLY

Blonde Cookbook

Monday


It's fun to cook for Tom. Today I made angel food cake.
The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors
were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.


Tuesday


Tom wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve
without dressing. So I didn't dress. What a surprise when
Tom brought a friend home for supper

Wednesday

A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before
steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly but I took a bath
anyway. I can't say it improved the rice any.

Thursday


Today Tom asked for salad again I tried a new recipe. It
said prepare ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce one hour
before serving. Tom asked me why I was rolling around
in the garden.

Friday

I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients
in a bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong
with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same
as when I left.


Tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He
asked me to dress it for Sunday. I don't have any clothes that
fit it, and for some reason Tom keeps counting to ten.


Tom's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but all I
had was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius.. I put
the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It
still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment.


GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY. This has been a very exciting
week! I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new
recipe on Tom. If I can talk Tom into buying a bigger oven, I
would like to surprise him with a chocolate moose.

Deck of Cards

It was quiet that day, the guns and the mortars, and
land mines for some reason hadn't been heard. The
young soldier knew it was Sunday, the holiest day of
the week. As he was sitting there, he got out an old
deck of cards and laid them out across his bunk.

Just then an army sergeant came in and said, "Why
aren't you with the rest of the platoon?"

The soldier replied, "I thought I would stay behind
and spend some time with the Lord."

The sergeant said, "Looks to me like you're going to
play cards."

The soldier said, "No, sir. You see, since we are not
allowed to have Bibles or other spiritual books in
this country, I've decided to talk to the Lord by
studying this deck of cards."

The sergeant asked in disbelief, "How will you do that?"

"You see the Ace, Sergeant? It reminds me that there
is only one God.

The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old
and New Testaments.

The Three represents the Father, Son, and the
Holy Ghost.

The Four stands for the Four Gospels:
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The Five is for the five virgins that were ten but only
five of them were glorified.

The Six is for the six days it took God to create the
Heavens and Earth.

The Seven is for the day God rested after making
His creation.

The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three
sons and their wives - the eight people God spared from
the flood that destroyed the earth.

The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy.
He cleansed ten, but nine never thanked Him.

The Ten represents the Ten Commandments that God
handed down to Moses on tablets made of stone.

The Jack is a reminder of Satan, on of God's first angels,
but he got kicked out of heaven for his sly and wicked
ways and is now the joke of eternal hell.

The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary.

The King stands for Jesus, for He is the King of all kings.

When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with
365 total, one for every day of the year.

There are a total of 52 cards in a deck; each is a week -
52 weeks in a year.

The four suits represent the four seasons:
Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.

Each suit has thirteen cards - there are exactly thirteen
weeks in a quarter.

So when I want to talk to God and thank Him, I just pull
out this old deck of cards and they remind me of all that
I have to be thankful for."

The sergeant just stood there. After a minute , with tears
in his eyes and a pain in his heart, he said, "Soldier, can I
borrow that deck of cards?"

To Those of You Born Between 1927-1979

At the end of this email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno.

If you don't read anything else, please read what he said.

Very well stated, Mr. Leno.

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1940's, 50's, 60's ,70's and 80's!!

First,we survived being born to mothers who smoked
and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from
a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our
tummies in babycribs covered with bright colored
lead-base paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on
doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had
baseball caps not helmets on our heads.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no
car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up truck on a warm day
was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from
a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one
bottle and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon.

We drank Kool-aid made with real white sugar. And,
we weren't overweight.

WHY? Because we were always outside, playing...
that's why!

We would leave home in the morning and play all
day, as long as we were back when the streetlights
came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And,
we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of
scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out
we forgot the brakes.

After running into the bushes a few times,we learned
to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's and X-boxes.

There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable,
no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's,
no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and
no chat rooms.

WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and
there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the
worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up
games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were
told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked
on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked
to them.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.

Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.

Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was
unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-
takers problem solvers and inventors ever.

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation
and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and
we learned how to deal with it all.

If YOU are one of them?

CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had
the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the
government regulated so much of our lives for our own
good.

While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will
know how brave and lucky their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with
scissors, doesn't it?

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:

"With hurricanes, tornadoes, fires out of control, mud
slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the
country from one end to another, and with the threat
of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a
good time to take God out of thePledge of Allegiance?"

A Forgotten Health Discovery from the Aztecs

A Forgotten Health Discovery from the Aztecs

There's a forgotten discovery from the Aztecs that's
making a resurgence, and with good reason. It's filled
with vital omega-3s, minerals, and fiber. In fact, I
think it's the answer to some of the biggest dietary
challenges we face today—since it gives you so much
of what the modern American diet is missing.

The food I'm talking about is chia seeds. It amazes
me that such tiny seeds, scarcely bigger than a pepper
grind, can have such a huge impact on your health. But
back in the 1980's, eating chia never crossed my mind
You might remember, as I do, back in the 1980's
watching those late-night commercials and hearing
"Ch-ch-ch-chia!" advertising those little terra-cotta
Chia pets. The last thing that crossed my mind was
eating those chia seeds. Little did I know just how
nutritionally rich they are.

For decades, I traveled extensively throughout Mexico
and Central and South America in my investigations.
One of my favorite areas is in the southern part of
Mexico next to Guatemala, which also happens to be
where chia, Salvia hispanica, was first cultivated. These
beautiful purple-flowered plants produce one of the
richest foods known to nature—chia seeds. But while
I've long-known chia seeds were the Aztec and Mayan
cultures' secret to good health—we can actually thank
Dr. Wayne Coates, a retired research professor at the
University of Arizona for "rediscovering" them. He
spent 17 years researching the benefits of chia seeds,
and bringing their health benefits to the forefront—
and I'm more convinced than ever that this is the type
of "miracle food" we should all be eating. They're filled
with more vital omega-3s than any other plant food.

Omega-3s are vital fats that support your heart, blood
pressure, brain function, immune system, joints, and
more. But unfortunately, the average person today gets
just one-sixth the omega-3s as people in the 1800s. But
eating the right fats is only one part of it—you also need
to eat them in the right ratio. Most of us are eating far
too many omega-6s, and not enough omega-3s. But until
chia seeds became available, the oils from flaxseed, fish
and marine algae were considered to be the only other
viable sources of dietary omega-3s.While I still use and
recommend fish oil and flaxseed— chia seeds give you
3.4 grams of omega-3s per serving.

In these tough economic times, it's nice to find a single
food that gives you so many of these healthy oils. Plus,
in my opinion chia seeds give you one of the best ratios
of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids you can
find in nature. Just two tablespoons give you an amazing
supply of vital nutrients—and energy! Chia seeds supply
many valuable nutrients, including vital fats, vitamins,
and minerals. In just two tablespoons of chia you get 177
mg of calcium, which as you know is important for healthy
bones. Plus, chia gives you vital minerals like phosphorous
and magnesium. Chia seeds are also about a 16% complete
protein, supplying you with all of the vital amino acids.
But the benefits don't end there. These tiny seeds are also
an energy-boosting powerhouse. The outer layer of the chia
seed is made of soluble fiber, which slows down the release
of glucose into your bloodstream.

Glucose is the primary energy source used by your brain,
nervous system, and muscles. The other reason chia seeds
provide long-lasting energy is that they are 31% fat, which
as I mentioned earlier is from healthy oils. These beneficial
oils are digested much more slowly than carbohydrates or
simple sugars. But when it comes to buying chia seeds—you
need to separate the facts from the hype. While there's no
doubt that chia seeds give you a lot of bang for your buck
nutritionally, there's also a lot of misinformation out there.
But after much searching, I found an excellent source of black
chia called Raw Goodness Chia which comes from Ruth's Foods
in Canada .Not only is Ruth's chia extremely high-quality and
gives you all the health benefits I just mentioned, it's also an
excellent value! I keep a supply on-hand to mix into my y
ogurts and smoothies.

The only downside is that right now, Ruth's Chia can be tricky
to find. So, the team at Mountain Home contacted them directly
to get a supply for you. Click here to place your secure order

Take care,

Dr. David Williams
