Good Morning everyone and welcome to Monday's edition to Sheri's Free Stuff and contests newsletter. A great big welcome to all of our newest members and subscribers today. It is great having you with us. What a weekend!! It was a great one but very busy. My neice had a wedding shower on Saturday and I spent most of the morning running around trying to find a nice gift for her and her soon to be hubby. The shower was very nice and I even won two prizes playing games!! So it was a great day. We have had such beautiful weather here the last couple of days, I'm hoping it stays this way for awhile. The flower bulbs that I had planted a while back and had all but given up on have finally started sticking through the ground!! I haven't had much luck with flower bulbs I am a buy them already started kind of person. So this makes me feel like I have achieved something Linda sent me this prayer request this weekend. Please everyone keep this person in your prayers. I need everyone to pray for me, two years ago next month(July) I had a quadruple bypass, they left one damaged artery in there as they said the surgery was so long, They felt it best to wait awhile, now my blood pressure is 220/110 and it won't stay down, My insurance didn't cover the last surgery and we are so far in debt now, over the medical bills, I can't even think of another surgery, we live on my husbands disability every month. I know the Lord can see us through this and bring down my BP. I love this site and feel if you are all part of my family. Thanks Kim for being so down to earth about everything. >Bobbi Also remember the family of the little Smart girl that has been missing since Tuesday in Utah. I am asking for your prayers today also. I have to go to court tomorrow because my ex has not been paying his child support. He is now over 4,000 dollars behind. He has been to court over this several times and each time he just gets a slap on the wrist and walks out grinning from ear to ear and still won't pay. He has now hired an attorney to try and get all of his past due support dropped. Please pray that the judge tomorrow will be a fair judge and will see that what he is doing is not right. Thanks!

(B) On the other hand, the French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. (C) The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. (D) The Italians drink generous amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans Conclusion: Eat & drink what you like. It's speaking English that kills you. RULES OF LIFE Sometimes we just need to remember WHAT the Rules of Life really are.... 1. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas. 2. You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should; use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't; use the duct tape. 3. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are: "I apologize" and "You are right." 4. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. 5. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm. 6. The only really good advice that your mother ever gave you was, "Go! You might meet somebody!" 7. If he/she says that you are too good for he /her always believe them. 8. Learn to pick your battles; ask yourself, "Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?" 9. Never pass up an opportunity to pee. 10. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance! 11. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you. 12. Work is good, but it's not that important. 13. And finally... Be really nice to your friends and family. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan. ============================================================================= 6.

Condition hair and prevent split ends and frizzies. Mix one tablespoon SueBee honey and two teaspoons Star Olive Oil. Warm the mixture (but not too hot), dip your fingers into it, and rub it into the strands of hair. Soak a towel in hot water, wring out completely, and wrap around your head for twenty minutes. Then shampoo as usual, lathering well to remove the olive oil. Give yourself a facial. Mash a banana and add one tablespoon SueBee Honey. Cover your face with the mixture, let sit fifteen minutes, then rinse with warm water. Dress wounds and burns. Apply SueBee Honey to the injury. Honey is hygroscopic and absorbs water, creating an environment in which disease-producing microorganisms, deprived of their moisture, cannot live. Soothe a sore throat. Take one teaspoon of SueBee Honey at bedtime, letting it trickle down your throat. Cure a hangover. Honey is a concentrated source of fructose. Eating SueBee Honey on crackers helps your body flush out whatever alcohol remains in the body. Relieve a cough due to a cold. Dissolve one tablespoon SueBee Honey and one tablespoon ReaLemon in a small glass of warm water and sip it. For a stronger solution, combine equal parts SueBee Honey and ReaLemon, and take one teaspoon at bedtime. Both mixtures may help loosen phlegm. Make a bath toy. Use an empty SueBee honey bear in the bathtub. Make a glue dispenser. Fill a SueBee honey bear with Elmer's Glue and tint with food coloring to make colorful glues. Substitute honey for sugar when cooking. Use SueBee Honey in place of granulated sugar for up to one-half of the sugar. With experimentation, honey can be substituted for all the sugar in some recipes. For baked goods, add about one-half teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used, reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by one-quarter cup for each cup of honey used, and reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent over-browning. For easy removal, spray measuring cup with PAM No Stick Cooking Spray before adding honey. Make children sleepy at bedtime and help prevent small children from wetting the bed. A teaspoon of honey at bedtime will act as a sedative to a child's nervous system and will attract and hold fluid in a child's body during the hours of sleeping. When a child over one-year old is given honey, the blood and tissue calcium begins to increase. The calcium unites with excess phosphorous to form a compound that makes bones, teeth, hair, and fingernails. The sedative effect on the nervous system of a child may be observed within an hour. Honey should not be fed to infants under one year of age. Honey is a safe and wholesome food for older children and adults. Help heal erysipelas. Generously cover the affected area with honey, then cover with cotton for 24 hours. Repeat if necessary. ============================================================================= THAT'S IT FOR TODAY'S FREEBIES.
