Bit Of Humor

A Friend sent me this morning and thought I would share. Nothing like a smile on ones face to start the day.  But in reality, thinking about this bit of humor, over the years, I have found a lot of truth in what was happening to the poor feller. Read on.

Kevin had shingles.

     Those of us who spend much time in a doctor’s office should appreciate this! Doesn’t it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line?
     Here’s what happened to Kevin:
      Kevin walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Kevin said: ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.
      Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aide came out and asked Kevin what he had…
     Kevin said, ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Kevin to wait in the examining room.
     A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Kevin what he had. Kevin said, ‘Shingles..’ So the nurse gave Kevin a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Kevin to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.
     An hour later the doctor came in and found Kevin sitting patiently in the nude and asked Kevin what he had.
     Kevin said, ‘Shingles.’ The doctor asked, ‘Where?’
     Kevin said, ‘Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload ’em??’

What You Should Know About Butter & Margerine

DO YOU KNOW the difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end…gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams, compared to 5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours of  other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.  

And now, for Margarine..  
Very high in trans fatty acids.
Triples risk of coronary heart disease …
Increases LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
Lowers quality of breast milk
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here’s the most disturbing fact…HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC…and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT
These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
Open a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)

* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.  Why?  Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your tupperware and spread that on your toast?

News For Port Loring

Been working on another 16 foot by 5 1/2 foot wide aluminum boat I got the other day, keeping me busy and out of trouble.  Things are rolling along, but going to be needing a windshield for the front of it.  If anyone has one that they don’t need or don’t use any more and not wanting to much money I would sure appreciate hearing from you.  I will give dimensions once I find some one that has one.  I did put a bead of Marine Glue on the old one yesterday, which I am hoping will hold things till I find another.  Got to be one out there somewhere.  Other than that, gardens are growing nicely.  Salads bowls are heaping full come supper time.  Pretty tasty let me tell ya.   Hot one yesterday an will be the same today, so good idea to keep th blinds down this morning and ceiling fan circulating the air a bit through the day.  That is all we ever use and our home is nice and cool all day and night.  Never need an air-conditioner.  So there you have it, have a great day and enjoy the sunshine.  Oh and for those that might have a boat windshield you can reach me at [email protected]   Thanks!!
