DIRECTIONS: Blend
together all ingredients except almonds. Chill. When ready to serve place dip
in small bowl. Top with almonds. Place bowl on plate and surround with
assorted fruits such as banana slices, melon cubes, grapes, strawberries
and peach or nectarine slices.
Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is
sweet, and so are you. But the roses are wilting, the violets are
dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.
After you, my love,
my only prize Would be a bullet between your eyes
Of loving beauty you
float with grace If only you could hide your face
I thought that I
could love no other Until, that is, I met your brother
Kind,
intelligent, loving and hot This describes everything you're not
I
want to feel your sweet embrace But don't take that paper bag off of your
face
I love your smile, your face, and your eyes -- Damn, I'm good at
telling lies!
Every time I see your face I wish I were in outer
space
I saw your face as you walked by but then I saw a better
guy
My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife: Marrying you screwed up
my life
Beauty is on the inside, but some may doubt, If it's true, I'd
prefer you inside out.
What inspired this amorous rhyme? Two parts
vodka, one part lime
I see your face when I am dreaming That's why I
always wake up screaming
My love you take my breath away What have you
stepped in to smell this way
My feelings for you no words can
tell Except for maybe "go to hell"
JETER PURSUER DRAGGED TO COURT
A woman who was arrested for running onto
the Yankee Stadium infield to hand superstar Derek Jeter a note, was dragged
by police from the luxury store where she works for skipping a court date.
Kristielee Wilcox said she was worried about get- ting fired for being
handcuffed and escorted out of Bergdorf Goodman on Monday. On opening day,
April 5, Wilcox -- a make- up artist -- used a lip-liner to scrawl her phone
number on- to a piece of paper that she ran -- shoeless -- to
Jeter's place in the infield. Jeter covered his face with his
glove, presumably to conceal his laughter, as guards chased Wilcox around
the field. She finally was apprehended and spent the night in jail.
I'm Sorry to see this story come out. David 1
VAN HALEN, VALERIE SPLIT AFTER 21 YEARS

Tillis Will Shutter Branson Theater
The Associated Press reports that Mel
Tillis has sold his theater in Branson, Mo. The country star announced
the sale of his 2,600-seat venue and 13 acres of land on Wednesday (July
10). He will perform 135 more shows there, through New Year's Eve, then he
plans to write songs, record with his band, the Statesiders, and make
a Christmas album with his family. Tillis has been a main- stay of the
Branson scene since 1990. He built the theater he sold this week in 1994. The
new owner will lease the theater to the Tri-Lakes Assembly of God, to be
used as a church. Sale price was not disclosed. Tillis will split time
between homes in Branson, Tennessee and Florida.
A blonde was down on her luck. In order to raise some money, she decided
to kidnap a kid and hold him for ransom. She went to the playground, grabbed
a kid, took him behind a tree, and told him, "I've kidnapped you." She
then wrote a note saying, "I've kidnapped your kid. Tomorrow morning, put
$10,000 in a paper bag and put it under the pecan tree next to the slide on
the North side of the playground.
Signed, A Blonde."
The
Blonde then pinned the note to the kid's shirt and sent him home to show it
to his parents.
The next morning the blonde checked, and sure enough, a
paper bag was sitting beneath the pecan tree. The Blonde opened the bag and
found the $10,000 with a note that said, "How could you do this to a fellow
Blonde?"
A real-estate agent was driving around with a new trainee when she spotted a
charming little farmhouse with a hand-lettered "For Sale" sign out
front.
After briskly introducing herself and her associate to the
startled occupant, the agent cruised from room to room, opening closets
and cupboards, testing faucets and pointing out where a "new light fixture
here and a little paint there" would help. Pleased with her assertiveness,
the woman was hopeful that the owner would offer her the
listing.
"Ma'am," the man said, "I appreciate the home-improvement tips
and all, but I think you read my sign wrong. It says, "HORSE for sale."
This one is worth repeting, David 1
All eyes were on the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle.
They reached the altar and the waiting groom; the bride kissed her father and
placed something in his hand.
The guests in the front pews responded with
ripples of laughter. Even the priest smiled broadly.
As her father
gave her away in marriage, the bride gave him back his credit card.
Recently I was in a restaurant having breakfast.
A woman came in and said
she needed to get a "to-go order." She said she was in a hurry because she
had to get online and talk . . . "to her AOL friends." (She actually said
those very words.)
She then ordered eggs, potatoes, and toast. When
asked if she wanted bacon, she replied, "No, I don't eat pork. But I would
like a double order of sausages, please."
Today's thought is: 020713 Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living
and your belief will help create the fact. -William James
Many
adult children learn that rejection and abandonment are part and parcel of
being alive. We are so used to feeling as though things won't work out, that
fear-like a shadow-is always lurking behind us. Usually there's something
specific to be afraid of-that we won't have enough money to pay our bills,
someone we love will die, or our children won't do well in school. And
always there's the generalized fear that events will overwhelm us in spite
of our best efforts.
We need to be careful about creating what we look
for. Regardless of the frightening experiences of the past, we need to
believe that other results are possible: All loved ones don't leave, all
risks don't end in devastation, and all efforts aren't dashed on the rocks
of defeat.
New consequences are possible when we believe they're
possible. The brave new world that each of us seeks stands on the shoulders
of that belief.
I am sick and tired of being fearful. Today, I am
confident that positive efforts will yield positive results. * * * * * *

And the Criminals Keep Getting Dumber... ----------
CINCINNATI, Ohio - In
addition to having to worry about car accidents, distractions, and children
fighting, drivers also need to be aware of carjackers. In Cincinnati, two
carjackers jumped into a woman's car and demanded all of her cash.
Which amounted to about $8. So the woman cleverly offered to stop at the
supermarket and cash a check for them. Only, instead of filling out the
check, she wrote "call police" on the document, and the cashier immediately
notified authorities. According to police, the men were caught in the shop's
park- ing lot and have been charged with kidnapping and robbery.
Six Japanese schoolchildren have been banned from a judo tournament for
plucking their eyebrows.
The boy and five girls were punished by Tochigi
Prefecture's junior high school sports federation. Officials say tournament
rules ban plucked or shaved eyebrows.
Head of the federation, Tatsuo
Kakizaki, said, "Judo is a sport that places enormous importance on manners
and thin eyebrows create an unpleasant image.
Dyed or tinted hair,
piercing and even hair ribbons are also forbidden.

My brother is a computer systems administrator. He is dedicated to his job
and works long hours, rarely taking time off for meals. One afternoon, He
was overwhelmed with solving computer network problems, so I decided
to deliver a meal for him to eat at his workstation. When I was getting
ready to leave, I said good-bye and reminded him to eat his burger and
fries while they were still warm. Staring at his monitor, he waved me
away. "Don't worry," he said, obviously distracted, "I'll delete them in a
few minutes."
A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down
Main Street. "But officer." the man began, "I can explain". "Just be
quiet," snapped the officer. "I'm going to let you cool your heels in
jail until the chief gets back..." "But officer, I just wanted to
say...." "And I said to keep quiet! You're going to jail!" A few hours
later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you
that the chief is at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when
he gets back." "Don't count on it," answered the fellow in the cell. "I'm
the groom."

medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and

"Yeah, but you started it."
