Season's Greetings Everyone (LEGAL :-)

[Guest guest]

Thanks Doc!

Glad you could find a bit of humor in such a ridiculous situation. It

is a shame that it has practically come to that. More people really

do need to lighten up. Life is already stressful enough...why do they

go out of their way to add more tension?

Well everyone, I did have a nice Christmas(that is what I celebrate),

and more importantly, my daughter really enjoyed it. Hope you enjoyed

the holidays as well! My husband gave me a great present...he told me

that he wants to start eating healthier and taking better care of

himself. He said that his new years resolution is to give up smoking,

cut way back on his coffee, give up his soda, and learn to enjoy

healthier foods. Now this is major, because I am talking about a man

who lives off of the greasy foods out of the convenience store hot

boxes.

The whole change in attitude came about last week when I mentioned

something about all of the garbage that he eats. He got offended, and

basically critisized every healthy thing that I believe in. He told

me that the health books that I read are written by a bunch of quacks.

He said that the vitamins and herbs are a joke and a waste of money.

He said that he believes in doing things the way that his family has

been living all of these years. I reminded him that most of his

faamily members have dropped dead in their 50s! He told me that he

hates my whole wheat biscuits because they are hard and heavy...he

likes the white fluffy ones smothered in gravy at the greasy diners.

I told him that all they serve to him is bleached flour, salt, pepper,

and MSG fried in lard and smothered in more of the same!

Well, he left for work, and he ate his typical greasy gunk. Guess who

came home, doubled over by the horrible stomach cramps?

The pepto bismol that he had taken earlier for his intestinal

discomfort had not helped-he said that he will never take it again.

He dropped down on the living room floor, and begged me to give him

something to help the burning in his stomach. Well, I opened a new

bottle of organic aloe vera gel, and gave him 4 ounces. He griped,

but he started sipping it. The pain instantly went away.

Later on that day, I was spoon feeding him some plain yogurt with a

little bit of honey. He avoided coffee for the next four days.

I am sure that there are some other things that will help him as well,

but this pig-headed man actually appologized to me for the nasty

things that he has been saying to me over the years about healthy

lifestyle. We will see what 2005 brings!

Herbal Remedies - Season's Greetings Everyone (LEGAL :-)

 

Dear All, I wanted to send out some sort of holiday greeting to my friends, but it is so difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my attorney yesterday, and on his advice (and after $1,200 in attorneys fees) I wish to say the following:

I don't celebrate Christmas and am not a " Christ hater " I am Christian.

Don't make fun of what you don't understand.

Wellllllllll with the war in Iraq and all the other tribulations happening on the planet at the moment, I felt a little Christmas cheer and levity was in order. :-) I had another cute one about Rudolf and the reindeer's union but misplaced it. If I can find it again, I'll post it. LOL

Glad you enjoyed it.

Love,

Doc

PS. Sounds like your DH is coming around. Sometimes a little scare like that is worth it. :-)
