Sunday, December 17, 2006 8:46 am
Christmas is tight this year. I will be making bedroom slippers for everyone as gifts. I hope you’ll agree that it’s a splendid idea and,should you wish to do the same for some of your Christmas gifts, I’ve included the instructions below:
You’ll need four maxi pads for each pair of slippers. Lay two of them out flat. Wrap a single pad around the toe area of each flat pad to form the top of the slipper. Tape or glue each side of the top pieces to the bottom of the foot part. Decorate the tops with whatever you desire: silk flowers (this is most aesthetically appealing), etc.
Maxi slippers are:
- Soft and Hygienic
- Non-slip grip strips on the soles
- Built in deodorant feature keeps feet smelling fresh
- No more bending over to mop up spills
- Disposable and biodegradable
- Environmentally safe
- Three convenient sizes: Regular, Light and Get out the Sandbags.
I’ve included a photo of the first pair I made so that you can see the nifty slippers for yourself. Let me know which size you’d like me to make for you. Remember……it’s the thought that counts!!!!
Raunch Dressing- Mmm Spunk Salad.
Saturday, December 16, 2006 1:02 amIllinois H.S. senior to be charged for de-fouling creamy condiment
DECEMBER 15–Here’s one letter from the school principal that you don’t want junior bringing home. Seems that a male student at Illinois’s Wheaton North High School recently added an ingredient to a container of ranch salad dressing in the school cafeteria, according to a December 14 letter to parents by Principal Jill Bullo. The student who added the special sauce, Marco Castro, 17, is facing two misdemeanor charges, for which he will surrender to the Wheaton Police Department Monday.

Two Phrases That Destroyed American Culture

Every time I promise myself that I will work on controlling my temper, I always end up making a scene.
This time, it wasn’t my fault. All I wanted was a bagel. A bagel, a cup of coffee, and perhaps a spot near a window where I could idly watch the traffic go by as I browsed through the newspaper and licked cream cheese from my fingers. But apparently the Gods were not on my side.
Today I got in line behind a middle aged woman in a fur coat who was barking orders at the poor bagel girl like she was a dumb misbehaving dog. Fur Coat was ordering multiple bagel sandwiches from a list, but instead of ordering them in such a way that would make sense, she was attempting to order them all at the same time. The Bagel Girl was obviously confused and you could tell by her shaking hands that Fur Coat’s harsh tone was intimidating her. Finally, Fur Coat snapped, “I said light butter on that bagel! Light butter! Jesus!”
I couldn’t stand it anymore. I cut in, “You don’t have to be such a bitch about it.”
Fur Coat glared daggers at me and stated, “I’m not.”
“Well, I beg to differ.”

Dec 13, 2006 — LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -
Lettuce at Yum Brands Inc.’s Taco Bell restaurants was the most likely cause of an E.coli outbreak that sickened dozens of people in the northeastern United States, food safety officials said on Wednesday.
But no ingredients have tested positive for the E. coli strain blamed for the outbreak and cheese is also being investigated, the officials said during a Food and Drug Administration conference call.
Lettuce became the focus of the investigation after a statistical analysis of what people had eaten before they fell ill. Many also ate beef, and that supply chain is also being looked at, the officials said.
The change in focus of the investigation means the main ingredients of tacos are now being considered.
Taco Bell banned green onions after an early test, since discredited, showed the onions were the source of contamination.

Think getting a speeding ticket is upsetting? Well, not getting pulled over for speeding made a Portland man so angry he decided repeatedly ramming his car into a Police cruiser might be a better way of getting the authorities’ attention.
Portland Police Spokesperson Brian Schmautz said shortly after 5:00 p.m. Friday night officers at the Northeast Precinct on NE Emerson St. got a call that someone had just hit one of their patrol cars, then backed up and hit it again.
The officers went outside and saw an abandoned Honda Civic that happened to be right next to the damaged patrol car.

WICHITA — A Wichita man called 911 to report that he was the victim of an armed robbery. The theft? A pound of marijuana worth about $1,100 that he had been trying to sell at his home. The victim told police that a buyer had pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and stole the drugs. Police brought in a drug-sniffing dog to the house and located more marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The victim was booked into Sedgwick County jail on several charges, including possession with the intent to sell drug. The thief hasn’t been found.
In other news, the collective IQ of Wichita is at all-time high.
