What is your Favorite color?
I am busy today trying to catch up on washing this pile of clothes that seem to be never ending.
While washing I came across a red shirt and it came to me that out of all the colors red is my least favorite. I have always known that Pink is my favorite color.
What is your favorite and least favorite color?

"Need A PusH"
'Not a chance,' says the husband, 'it is 3:00 in the morning!' He slams the door and returns to bed.
'Who was that?' asked his wife.
'Just some drunk guy asking for a push,' he answers.
'Did you help him?' she asks.
'No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!'
'Well, you have a short memory,' says his wife. 'Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!'
The man does as he is told, gets dressed , and goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into the dark,
Buttermilk Fried Chicken
This is a great recipe for Buttermilk Fried Chicken:
Ingredients (for 24 pieces of chicken): 3 quarts buttermilk 4 cups all purpose flour 1 cup "secret ingredient" - this can be whatever you have available: breadcrumbs, cornmeal, crushed corn flakes, panko etc. 2 t salt 1 t pepper 1 t paprika 1 t onion powder 1/2 t garlic powder 1 t each fresh parsley, thyme 1 t rosemary canola oil for frying lots of love
Preparation:
Liberally sprinkle chicken pieces with salt, then just cover with water.
The chicken should brine for at least 2 horrs, but can be done the night before.
Submerge chicken in buttermilk until ready to cook, at least 30 minutes
Combine flour, spices and herbs.
Preheat deep fryer or cast iron skillet to 340 degrees. Take chicken directly from the buttermilk and dip in the flour mixture. Let the coated chicken sit for a minute, then cook in the deep fryer for 15-18 minutes, depending on the size.
For a cast iron skillet, cook for 12-14 minutes on each side. It's important to let the chicken rest on a cooling rack for a couple minutes after to finish cooking and to ensure the skin is crispy.
This is Chef Johnny DeCoursy's recipe , it's his personal favorites.
Can I Borrow $25.00?
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year
old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such
a thing?' the man said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do
you make an hour?'
DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'
The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you
can
borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you
march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you
are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish
frivolities.' The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the
door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's
questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After
about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and
he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of
the little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' He
asked. 'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy. 'I've been thinking,
maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man 'It's been a long day
and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' He
yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up
bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry
again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up
at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?'
the father grumbled. Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the
little boy replied. 'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your
time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with
you.'
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you
working so hard in life. We should not let time s lip through our
fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to
us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of
your time with someone you love.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave
behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Break In
While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife, 'Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He's probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years.
I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain; do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us both. Be strong, honey. I love you!'

"Mexican Oysters"
A big Texan stopped at a local restaurant following a day roaming around in Mexico. While sipping his tequila, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful. He asked the waiter, "What is that you just served?"
The waiter replied, "Ah senor, you have excellent taste! Those are called Cojones de Toro, bull's testicles from the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!"
The cowboy said, "What the heck, bring me an order."
The waiter replied, "I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving per day because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come early and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy."The next morning, the cowboy returned, placed his order, and that evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day. After a few bites, inspecting his platter, he called to the waiter and said, "These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday."
The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Si,Senor. Sometimes the bull wins.
Shower Curtain Alert
Now I find that opening a new shower curtain could be hazardous to your health. And a consumer group is urging retailers to stop selling PVC shower curtains.
I am very familiar with the New Shower Curtain’s Chemical Smell”. Claims that more than 100 chemicals are released into the air when opening th e packages containing the curtains. .The study found that exposure to the chemicals creates health problems such as respiratory irritation, central nervous system, liver and kidney damage, nausea, headaches and loss of coordinaation.
Until changes are made, I think that we should open the curtains ouitside or in a well ventilated area. (ALERT)
Friday the 13th
Today is Friday the 13th.
This Friday some people will be so paralyzed with fear they simply won't get out of bed. Others will steadfastly refuse to fly on an airplane, buy a house, or act on a hot stock tip. It's Friday the 13th, and they're freaked out.
"It's been estimated that $800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day because people will not fly or do business they would normally do," said Donald Dossey, founder of the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina.
Symptoms range from mild anxiety to full-blown panic attacks. The latter may cause people to reshuffle schedules or miss an entire day's work.
A fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia.
(pair.uh.skee.vee.dek.uh.tree.uh.foh.bee.uh)
Fridays have been considered an unlucky day since the medieval times.
It is generally considered bad luck to start anything on a Friday - a new journey, job, marriage, business project, giving birth, moving house
It is unlucky to cut fingernails and hair on a Friday.
The belief that Friday 13th is an unlucky day is one of the most widely know superstitions today.
The superstition surrounding Friday the 13th is actually a combination of two separate fears — the fear of the number 13, called triskaidekaphobia, and the fear of Fridays.
Unlucky 13
It is unlucky to have thirteen at a table or in a company. The number 13, in the Christian faith, is the number of people at the Last Supper, with the 13th guest at the table being the traitor, Judas.

"HAPPY GIRLFRIENDS DAY"
<
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't call when they say they will.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT..........
Girlfriends are there, no matter how much time and how
many miles are between you.
A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have
to walk it by yourself, your girlfriends will be on the valley's rim,
cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on
your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you.
Or come in and carry you out.

Pissed Off Over Gas Prices
Gas prices are slowly killing businesses in the area, yesterday the cheapest gas was $4.37 up to $4.89 highest.
So I was not very happy to read that the Republicans have blocked a vote by the Democrats to impose a tax on the windfall profits of the large oil companies.
Democrats said the huge profits oil companies are making should be reined with consumers paying almost $5.00 a gallon for gas.
The Republicans claim that higher taxes would increase the prices of gas and not lower it and would also reduce their incentive for domestic oil exploration.
I think that we need a change, someone that is not going to be concerned about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

Walgreens To Pay $35 Million For Drug Fraud
ASHINGTON – Walgreen Co. of Deerfield, Ill., has agreed to pay $35 million to settle claims that from 2001 to 2005, it improperly switched patients to different versions of the prescriptions drugs Ranitidine, Fluoxetine and Eldepryl in order to increase its reimbursement from Medicaid, the Justice Department announced today.
Walgreens, which operates over 5,000 retail pharmacies throughout the U.S., switched the prescriptions for Medicaid patients who were prescribed 150 mg or 300 mg tablets of Ranitidine to more expensive capsules; prescriptions for 10 mg or 20 mg capsules of Fluoxetine to more expensive tablets; and prescriptions for 5 mg tablets of Eldepryl to more expensive capsules. By switching the form of the drug dispensed to Medicaid patients, Walgreens substantially increased its reimbursement from Medicaid while providing no additional medical benefit to patients.
“This is our third settlement with a company that has engaged in improper drug switching, and it represents the government’s continuing commitment to vigorously pursue fraud in government health care programs,” said Gregory G. Katsas, Acting Assisting Attorney General for the Civil Division. “The United States will not tolerate pharmacies or any other health care providers that attempt to manipulate the Medicaid program at the taxpayers’ expense.”
Walgreens will pay $35 million to resolve a False Claims Act qui tam action filed in 2003 by Bernard Listiza, a licensed pharmacist. The federal share of the settlement is approximately $18.6 million. Forty-six states and Puerto Rico will share approximately $16.4 million under separate settlement agreements. Lisitza will receive approximately $5 million as his share of the federal and state settlements.
“Switching medication from tablets to capsules might seem harmless, but when that is done solely to increase profit and in violation of federal and state regulations that are designed to protect patients, pharmacies must know that they are subjecting themselves to the possibility of triple damages, civil penalties and attorney fees,” said Patrick Fitzgerald, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. “These penalties, coupled with the willingness of insiders to report fraud, should deter such misconduct, but when it doesn’t, the result in this case and others serves notice that we will aggressively pursue all available legal remedies.”
Walgreens has also entered into a compliance agreement with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to insure that Walgreens does not improperly switch drugs in the future. The compliance agreement will be in effect for five years.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois (Chicago) supervised the joint federal and state health care fraud investigation with assistance from the Civil Division, the National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units (NAMFCU), the Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
"Popcorn"
Popcorn, I love eating it and I love to smell it when it's popping in the microwave so I was surprised when I came across a letter of people complaining about their co-workers bringing it to the office and popping it for a snack, apparently there was a lot of complaints about the smell making some people sick and some people just don't like the smell of popcorn and thought that it was not professional to microwave popcorn at work.
I also read recently that one of my favorite brands by (OR) you know who that is, had and ingredient in their popcorn that caused a lot of workers at the plant to come down with something called popcorn lung disease. the company was sued and a lot of changes have been made and this particular ingredient was supposed to be removed, I hope that it was.
How do you feel about popcorn being popped at work?
