[RecipesAndMore] On the Lighter Side...
On the Lighter Side... Taxes At an open conference in Vermont, the state tax commissioner asked the audience which sort of taxation they thought was the most fair and equitable. There was a pause, and then a white-haired man in the back raised his hand. The poll tax, he said. But the poll tax was repealed some time ago, replied the commissioner. Ay-yuh, declared the old man, that's what I like about it. The Ref After a recent college basketball game, the coach spotted a cell phone lying on the floor. He picked it up and handed it to one of the referees, saying Here's your phone. What makes you think it's mine? the ref asked. Easy, the coach replied. It says you missed 13 calls. Taxes Are Patriotic! A Dutchman was explaining the red, white, and blue Netherlands flag to an American. Our flag is symbolic of our taxes. We get red when we talk about them, white when we get our tax bills, and blue after we pay them. The American nodded. It's the same in the USA only we see stars, too! Unforgiving A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: 'I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.' When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note 'I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.'

[RecipesAndMore] Grilled Asparagus and Mushroom Cheese Melt
The Recipe How about a super sandwich recipe for the Spring and Summer too? Oh, did I tell you I love asparagus? Let's do it! Grilled Asparagus and Mushroom Cheese Melt 4 slices farm bread 2 ounces smooth Dijon mustard 1 lb. grilled asparagus 2 grilled portabella mushrooms 4 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced olive oil balsamic vinegar salt and pepper Clean the portabella mushrooms with a towel and rub with olive oil and baslmic vinegar. Season lightly with either my dry rub seasoning, or just salt and pepper and grill. Keep an eye on them and remove them off the direct heat when close to done done. After trimming the asparagus where you want them, drizzle and toss them in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. They won't take long so keep turning them and remove when done. Spread each slice of bread to the edge with a little over a half ounce of the mustard. Top one slice with the grilled asparagus, grilled mushroom, and sliced cheddar. Close the sandwich and lightly brush the outside of each slice with olive oil. Place the sandwich in a hot skillet and grill each side for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown—just long enough to grill the bread, but not melt the cheese. Cut in half diagonally and serve.

[RecipesAndMore] Lucky The Dog
Lucky The Dog Anyone who has pets will really like this. You'll like it even if you don't and you may even decide you need one! Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named Lucky. Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing. Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box. It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this diseasein fact; she was just sure it was fatal. She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her...what would happen to Lucky? Although the three year old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought. He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him! The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death. The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable. Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap. Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed. When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned!? While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love. Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky, he still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure. Remember... live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God. And never forget... the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most Credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care for us. If you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours! Live simply. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God A single candle can illuminate an entire room.

While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love. Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky, he still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure. Remember... live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God. And never forget... the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most Credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care for us. If you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours! Live simply. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God A single candle can illuminate an entire room. A true friend lights up an entire lifetime. Thanks for the bright lights of your friendship. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

[RecipesAndMore] Re: Lucky The Dog
Hi, Steve, also love this one; the dog really missed his friend; keep sharing, got to keep the ol' funny bone in shape! Sandy - Original Message - From: Frances Vitulla franc...@samobile.net To: recipesandmore@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 1:43 PM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Re: Lucky The Dog Hello Steve, I love this one. Lucky the dog missed his friend. I agree with the message. Thanks for sharing. Original message: Lucky The Dog Anyone who has pets will really like this. You'll like it even if you don't and you may even decide you need one! Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named Lucky. Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing. Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box. It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this diseasein fact; she was just sure it was fatal. She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her...what would happen to Lucky? Although the three year old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought. He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him! The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death. The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable. Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap. Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed. When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned!? While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love. Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky, he still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure. Remember... live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God.
