Margarine vs butter

Pass the butter ~ ~ ~ ~ This is interesting.

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys.
When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research
wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with
this product to get their money back.

It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.

How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.

DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter?

Read on to the end...gets very interesting!

Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.

And now, for Margarine.....
Very high in trans fatty acids.
Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.

And here's the most disturbing fact....
HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area.
Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:

* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny micro organisms will not a find a home to grow.

Why? Because it is nearly plastic.
Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to "butter them up")

A Very Upset Wife

She came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love
to a very attractive young woman.

The wife was VERY upset! "You are a disrespectful pig!" she cried.
"How dare you do this to me" a faithful wife, the mother of your children!

I'm leaving you. I want a divorce straight away!"

And he replied: "Hang on just a minute luv, so at least I can tell you what happened"

"Fine, go ahead", she sobbed, "but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!"

And he began:"Well, I was getting into the car to drive home and this young lady
here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and defenceless that so I took
pity on her and let her into the car. I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed
and very dirty. She told me that she hadn't eaten for three days!

So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made
for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll put on weight.

The poor thing devoured them in moments.
Since she needed a good clean-up I suggested a shower and while she was doing
that I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes so I threw them away.
Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have had
for a few years, but don't wear because you say they are too tight.
I also gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present,
which you don't wear because I don't have good taste.
I found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that you don't wear just
to annoy her and I also donated those boots you bought at the expensive boutique
and don't wear because someone at work has a pair like them.."

He took a quick breath and continued: "She was so grateful for my understanding
and help and as I walked her to the door she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said "Please.......do you have anything else that your wife doesn't use?'"

hahaha....I said my cock and she immediately grab it, and give it a good ride.
Surely you cannot blame her or me...but yourself.

Disclaimer....meant to be a joke! but somehow it does make sense. hahaha.

You are the ONE!

BEING A MOTHER

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take
another woman out to dinner and a movie.
She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you
and would love to spend some time with you."

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER,
who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and
my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
"What's wrong, are you well," she asked?
My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call
or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
"I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," I responded.
"Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment, and then said,
"I would like that very much."

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous.
When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous
about our date.
She waited in the door with her coat on.
She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. "I told my friends that I
was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,"
she said, as she got into the car.
"They can't wait to hear about our meeting."

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy.
My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.
After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print.
Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me.
A nostalgic smile was on her lips. "It was I who used to have to read the menu when you
were small,"she said .

"Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation nothing extraordinary
but catching up on recent events of each other's life.
We talked so much that we missed the movie.

As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if
you let me invite you." I agreed.

"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home.
"Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack.
It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt
from the same place mother and I had dined.
An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there;
but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife.
You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son."

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU"
and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.
Nothing in life is more important than your family.
Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till
"some other time."

Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby .... somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "normal" is history.

Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct..
somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.

Somebody said being a mother is boring ...
somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.

Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your child will "turn out good"....
somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.

Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices ....
somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbor's kitchen window.

Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother ....
somebody never helped a fourth grader with his math.

Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the first ....
somebody doesn't have two children.

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions in the books.... somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.

Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery....
somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten ..
or on a plane headed for military "boot camp."

Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back ...
somebody never organized seven giggling Brownies to sell cookies.

Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married....
somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.

Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home....
somebody never had grandchildren.

Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her....
somebody isn't a mother.

Pass this along to all the "mothers" in your life,
and to everyone whoever had a mother.

This isn't just about being a mother, it's about appreciating the people in your life
while you have them....no matter who that person is.

A Poem...please take time to think it thru.

Some people are planners.
They like thinking ahead and being prepared.
They get a high from being on top of things.

But some things are beyond planning.
And life doesn't always turn out as planned.
You don't plan for a broken heart.
You don't plan for a failed business venture.
You don't plan for an autistic child.
You don't plan for spinsterhood.
You don't plan for a lump in your breast.

You plan to be young forever.
You plan to climb the corporate ladder.
You plan to be rich and powerful.
You plan to be acclaimed and successful.
You plan to conquer the universe.
You plan to fall in love - and be loved forever.

You don't plan to be sad or hurt.
You don't plan to be broke or betrayed.
You don't plan to be alone in this world.
You don't plan to be shattered.

You plan to be happy.
Sometimes if you work hard enough, you can get what you want.
But most times, what you want and what you get are not the same.

We, mortals, plan.
But so does God in the heavens.
Sometimes, it is difficult to understand God's plans especially when
His plans are not in consonance with ours.

Often, when God sends us crisis,
we turn to Him in anger.
True, we cannot choose the cross that God wishes us to carry,
but we can carry that cross with courage knowing that
God will never abandon us nor send something wec annot cope with.

Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes, God sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes, God sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes God sends us illness so we can take better
care of ourselves.
Sometimes, God takes everything away from us so we
can learn the value of everything He gave us.

The soldier and the nun...have fun!

A Soldier came to a fork in the road and saw a nun standing there.
He asked, "Please Sister, may I hide under your skirts for a few minutes?
I'll explainwhy later.

"The nun agreed to his request.
Shortly thereafter, the two MPs came running alongand asked her if she
had seen a soldier running down the road.
She replied, "He wentthat way."

After the MPs disappeared, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt
and said. "I can't thank you enough Sister, but you see I don't want to go
to Iraq."

The nun said she can fully understand the fear.

The soldier added, "I hope you don't think me rude or impertinent, but
you have the most beautiful pair of legs I've ever seen!"

The nun replied," If you had looked a little higher, you would have seen
the most beautiful pair of balls you've ever seen.

I too don't want to go to Iraq either!"

Have fun....have a good laugh now :)

Stress management

A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience,
raised a glass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water? "

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long you try to hold it. "If I hold it for a minute,
that's not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day then you'll have to call an ambulance.

"In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it,
the heavier it becomes. "

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management.
If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden
becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. "

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while
and rest before holding it again.
When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. "
"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.
Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. "
"Relax; pick them up later after you've rested.

Life is short.

Enjoy it! And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them later.

* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.

* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

* Never buy a car you can't push.

* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

* The second mouse gets the cheese.

* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

* We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull.
Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

* A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

* Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today. . .. . . . . . .
remember that I did. :)

YES! have fun and be happy with what you have becoz some others may not
have any of what you have now at all, but all the violence we are seeing in the
news and we are already living in 2006. Not in 1906 or 1006.
