The Dinner Party

The Dinner Party

A group of country neighbors wanted to get together on a regular basis
and socialize. As a result, about 10 couples formed a dinner club and
agreed to meet for dinner at a different neighbors house each month.
Of course the lady of the house was to prepare the meal.

When it came time for Jimmy and Susie Brown to have the dinner at
their house, like most women, Susie wanted to outdo all the others and
prepare a meal that was the best that any of them had ever lapped a
lip over.

A few days before the big event, Susie got out her cookbook and
decided to have mushroom smothered steak. When she went to the store
to buy some mushrooms, she found the price for a small can was more
than she wanted to pay.

She then told her husband, "We aren't going to have mushrooms because
they are too expensive.

He said, "Why don't you go down in the pasture and pick some of those
mushrooms? There are plenty of them right in the creek bed."

She said," No, I don't want to do that, because I have heard that wild
mushrooms are poisonous."

He then said, "I don't think so. I see the varmints eating them all
the time and it never has affected them."

After thinking about this, Susie decided to give this a try and got in
the pickup and went down in the pasture and picked some. She brought
the wild mushrooms back home and washed them, sliced and diced them to
get them ready go over her smothered steak. Then she went out on the
back porch and got Ole Spot's (the yard dog) bowl and gave him a
double handful. She even put some bacon grease on them to make them
tasty.

Ole' Spot didn't slow down until he had eaten every bite. All morning
long Susie watched him and the wild mushrooms didn't seem to affect
him, so she decided to use them.

The meal was a great success, and Susie even hired a lady from town To
come out and help her serve. She had on a white apron and a little cap
on her head. It was first class. After everyone had finished they all
began to kick back and relax and socialize. The men were visiting and
the women started to gossip a bit.

About this time the lady from town came in from the kitchen and
whispered in Susie's ear. She said, "Mrs. Brown, Spot just died." With
this news, Susie went into hysterics. After she finally calmed down,
she called the doctor and told him what had happened.

The doctor said, "It's bad, but I think we can take care of it. I will
call for an ambulance and I will be there as quick as I can get there.
We will pump out everyone's stomach and everything will be fine. Just
keep them all there and keep them calm."

It wasn't long until they could hear the wail of the siren as the
ambulance was coming down the road. When they got there, the EMTs got
out with their suitcases and a stomach pump and the doctor arrived
shortly thereafter..

One by one they took each person into the master bedroom and pumped
out their stomach.

After the last one was finished, the doctor came out and said, I think
everything will be fine now, and he left.

They were all looking pretty peaked sitting around the living room,
and about this time the town lady came in and said, "You know, that
truck driver that ran over Ole Spot never even stopped.

How to Keep Teeth Naturally White

There are many effective methods of teeth whitening available, but some come with heavy price tags. Here are some steps you can take at home to whiten teeth naturally without breaking the bank.

Things You’ll Need:

  • Straw
  • Toothbrush
  • Lemon Juice
  • Salt
  • Baking soda
  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Strawberries

Step 1:
Limit your consumption of drinks that stain tooth enamel. A few of these include coffee, tea and red wine. If you simply can't cut back on these beverages, consider drinking them though a straw to limit the amount of liquid that actually comes in contact with teeth.

Step 2:
Brush your teeth immediately after eating, especially if eating foods that stain easily, such as berries.

Step 3:
Rub raw strawberries on your teeth, preferably pureed. There is an enzyme in strawberries that acts as a whitening agent. You'll want to brush and rinse after applying the strawberries to remove the natural sugars and acids they may leave behind.

Step 4:
Eat crunchy foods that require a lot of chewing such as carrots, celery, broccoli and apples. These foods are abrasive and will remove built up plaque, which dulls the appearance of teeth.

Step 5:
Dip your toothbrush directly into baking soda and brush. The results are worth the lousy taste.

Step 6:
Combine lemon juice and one teaspoon of salt to make a paste-like substance. Brush your teeth and rinse. Again, not so pleasant on the palate, but your teeth will thank you.

Step 7:
Use hydrogen peroxide to brush your teeth. Dip your toothbrush into a small capful of the peroxide and brush as you would with regular toothpaste, being careful not to swallow. Rinse with water.

- Tips -

  • Consider using one of the several whitening toothpastes on the market that have all-natural ingredients.
  • Brushing after every meal and flossing regularly are the first steps in maintaining a healthy smile.

Life

THIS IS HOW WE MISS OUT SOMETHING CALLED "LIFE"


A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the
bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child
collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.


QUESTIONS :
1. What were the five words ?
2. What is the implication of this story?


ANSWER :
The husband just said "I am with you Darling"

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point
in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. "A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step". Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are
actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

This story is really worth reading. ..... Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship,
in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out something called LIFE

When a woman lies


One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, 'My dear child, why are you crying?'

The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family.
The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires.'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked .
The seamstress replied, 'No.'The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimblestudded with rubies.'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, 'No.'

The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble.'Is this your thimble ?' the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, 'Yes.' The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy. Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, 'Why are you crying?'
'Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!' The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. 'Is this your husband?' the Lord asked.
'Yes,' cried the seamstress.
The Lord was furious. 'You lied! That is an untruth!
'The seamstress replied, 'Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt. Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney. And so the Lord let her keep him.
The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to it.

Modern Love

A young man goes into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist: "Hello, could you give me a condom.
My girlfriend has invited me for dinner and I think she is expecting something from me!"
The pharmacist gives him the condom; and as the young man is going out, he returns and tells him: "Give me another condom because my girlfriend's sister very cute too. She always crosses her legs in a provocative manner when she sees me and I think she expects something from me too." The pharmacist gives him a second condom;
and as the boy is leaving he turns back and says: "After all, give me one more condom because my
girlfriend's mom is still pretty cute and when she sees me she always makes allusions... and since she invited me for dinner, I think she is expecting something from me!!

During dinner, the young man is sitting with his girlfriend on his
left, the sister on his right and the mom facing him. When the dad gets there, the boy lowers
his head and starts praying: "Dear Lord, bless this dinner...thank you for all you give us...!!!" A minute later the boy is still praying: "Thank you Lord for your kindness..." Ten minutes go on and the boy is still praying, keeping his head down.
The others look at each other surprised and his
girlfriend even more than the others. She gets close to the boy and tells him in his ear:
"I didn't know you were so religious!!!" The boy replies :"I didn't know your dad was a pharmacist!!!"
