Healthier Resolutions with Vinegar and it's Poem

Vinegar is yellow

Vinegar is blue

Vinegar is not sweet

That is so true.

Life can be yellow

Or life can be blue

The choice in the end

Is all up to you.

I did know that there was apple vinegar...

But did you know there was honey vinegar (must come from sour puss bees)?....


Or how about lemon vinegar.....

And then there is pineapple vinegar....

There were actually lots more, like blueberry vinegar, but that would have made this post super long and I already have a problem with keeping posts short and sweet and that would have been...
l o n g and sour!

Numbing
-- Terri Spaccarotelli

At the busy dental office where I work, one patient was always late. Once when I called to confirm an appointment, he said, "I'll be about 15 minutes late. That won't be a problem, will it?" "No," I told him. "We just won't have time to give you an anesthetic." He arrived early.

Hiding the Presents
-- Loralie Long


I had finished my Christmas shopping early and had wrapped all the presents. Having two curious children, I had to find a suitable hiding place. I chose an ideal spot—the furnace room. I stacked the presents and covered them with a blanket, positive they'd remain undiscovered. When I went to get the gifts to put them under the tree, I lifted the blanket and there, stacked neatly on top of my gifts, were presents addressed to "Mom and Dad, From the Kids."

Being Reasonable

Everyone has a right to make money. A sign posted at a local pub reads "Be safe: Don't drink and drive. But please still drink."

Out of It
-- Margaret Arthurs

When I overheard one of my cashiers tell a customer, "We haven't had it for a while, and I doubt we'll be getting it soon," I quickly assured the customer that we would have whatever it was she wanted by next week. After she left, I read the cashier the riot act.
"Never tell the customer that we're out of anything. Tell them we'll have it next week," I instructed her. "Now, what did she want?"

"Rain."
