Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Hi, Thought maybe we could use a little of both of these??? Hugs, Marilyn ______________________ WOMEN in Combat! Take all American women who are within 5 years of menopause, train us for a few weeks, outfit us with automatic weapons, grenades, gas masks, moisturizer with SPF15, Prozac, hormones, chocolate, and canned tuna - drop us (parachuted, preferably) across the landscape of Afghanistan, and let us do what comes naturally. Think about it. Our anger quotient alone, even when doing standard stuff like grocery shopping and paying bills, is formidable = enough to make even armed men in turbans tremble. We've had our children, we would gladly suffer or die to protect them and their future. We'd like to get away from our husbands, if they haven't left already. And for those of us who are single, the prospect of finding a good man with whom to share life is about as likely as being struck by lightning. We have nothing to lose. We've spent years tracking down our husbands or lovers in bars, hardware stores, or sporting events...finding bin Laden in some cave will be no problem. Uniting all the warring tribes of Afghanistan in a new government? Oh, please ... we've planned the seating arrangements for in-laws and extended families at Thanksgiving dinners for years ...(albeit not successfully at all times..lol).. we understand tribal warfare. Between us, we've divorced enough husbands to know every trick there is for how they hide, launder, or cover up bank accounts and money sources. We know how to find that money and we know how to seize it ... with or without the government's help! Let us go and fight. The Taliban hates women. Imagine their terror as we crawl like ants with hot-flashes over their G-d forsaken terrain. ¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤¤¤‡¤¤ RECIPE of the Day: Pumpkin Bread Pumpkin is a terrific source of vitamins and fiber, and I love the way it smells when it is baking. This recipe makes 2 loaves of bread, muffins and even cupcakes. Ingredients: 21/2 cups Flour 2 tsp. Baking Powder 1 tsp. Baking Soda pinch of Salt Cinnamon and Nutmeg to taste 2 eggs 3/4 cup Brown Sugar 2 TBS. Apple Cider or Apple Juice 1 tsp. Vanilla 2 cups pureed cooked Pumpkin 1/2 cup chopped Pecans (optional) Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl sift together dry ingredients. In a smaller bowel beat together eggs, sugar, vanilla and apple cider. Add liquids to dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Add pumpkin and nuts and combine until fully incorporated. Pour into non-stick loaf pans. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes (less time if making muffins or cupcakes) or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. And don't turn on the news while doing this.. relax!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
