5/13/2003 3:06:57 PM Good Afternoon and Welcome To Sheri's Free Stuff and Contests Newsletter I want to apologize for the last newsletter that I sent out. Our mail server was causing a bit of problems and sent it out numerous times, causing many people to unsubscribe from the newsletter. Thanks to those who stuck it out and knew that it was a mistake and not intentional. For now I am stuck using the same mail server as before. Not enough funds to get a pay site. I was hoping to be able to get a site that I could send html as well as text newsletters out. Maybe in the near future. I want to say a Big Sheri's Free Stuff welcome to all of our newest subscribers and members! It is great having you here with us!! I hope you will find many great freebies and contests! If you only a subscriber to the newsletter and haven't yet registered on the forum please do so. I love being able to greet all our new members and meeting each and every one of you! Today I have a special prayer request for my brother and his wife. My brother and his wife are going through a child custody dispute. My brother and his wife have raised their daughter from the time that she was 2 weeks old and she is goingto be 5 in July. This past weekend the birth mother picked the child up for a visit and left a letter in their mailbox saying she was not going to return the child. This child only knows my brother and his wife as her parents. She loves them very very much and has called my brother crying for him to come and get her. She is their whole world since they have never been able to have children of their own. They do have an attorney and chances are pretty good that they will get her back. Please pray for them to be strong through out this whole thing. It is tearing them apart. Pray that because of this that "Angel" my neice will not have any bad affects from this whole experience. Thanks alot. If anyone has any special prayer requests or birthday, anniversary or any other special occasions that you would like announced feel free to e-mail me at sheri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx *************************************************************************************************** Attention Webmasters- Please Contact Me If You Are Interested in Exchanging Links or Newsletter Ads sheri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Webmasters - it is easy to make money through your website!

Most of you have read the scare-mail about the person whose kidneys were stolen while he was passed out-well read on. While that was an "urban legend" this one is not. It's happening everyday.... My thighs were stolen from me during the night of August 3rd a few years ago. It was just that quick. I went to sleep in my body and woke up with someone else's thighs. The new ones had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Who would have done such a cruel thing to legs that had been wholly, if imperfectly, mine for years? Whose thighs were these? What happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking for them. I searched, in vain, at pools and beaches, anywhere I might find female limbs exposed. I became obsessed. I had nightmares filled with cellulite and flesh that turns to bumps in the night. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans and Sheer Energy pantyhose. Then, just when my guard was down, the thieves struck again. My buns were next. I knew it was the same gang because they took pains to match my new derriere (although badly attached at least three inches lower than the original) to the thighs they had stuck me with earlier. Now my rear complimented my legs, lump for lump. Frantic, I prayed that long skirts would stay in fashion. It was 2 years ago when I realized my arms had been switched. One morning while fixing my hair, I watched, horrified but fascinated, as the flesh of my upper arms swung to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary. My body was beingreplaced, cleverly and fiendishly, one section at a time. Age? Age had nothing to do with it. Age was supposed to creep up, noticed and intangible, something like maturity. NO, I was being attacked, repeatedly and without warning. During one spring, my attention was riveted to upper arms... female arms. I studied them from every angle, being careful not to raise mine in public or flatten them too tightly against my body. In private, I held them straight out and did endless circles that would have tightened my real arms but did nothing for these new "Silly-Putty" caricatures. In the end, in deepening despair, I gave up my T-shirts. What could they do to me next? My eyes began to remind people that they needed a new pair of Hush Puppies. My poor neck disappeared more quickly than the Thanksgiving turkey it now reminded me of. That's why I've decided to tell my story; I can't take on the medical profession by myself. Women of America, wake up and smell the coffee! That isn't really "plastic" those surgeons are using. You know where they're getting those replacement parts, don't you? *************************************************************************************************** 8.

Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season. Eliminates static electricity from your television screen. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling. Dissolves soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a used sheet of Bounce. Freshens the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang one in the closet. Prevents thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce to eliminate the static cling on the thread before sewing. Eliminates static cling from pantyhose. Rub a damp, used sheet of Bounce over the hose. Prevents musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing. Freshens the air in your car. Place a sheet o of Bounce under the front seat. Cleans baked-on food from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in the pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agents apparently weaken the bond between the food and the pan while the fabric softening agents soften the baked-on food. Eliminates odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket. Collects cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs. Eliminates static electricity from venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resetting. Deodorizes shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight so they'll smell great in the morning. And now, Coke: To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coke into the toilet. Let the"real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coke. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coke over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coke to the rusted bolt for several minutes. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coke into the baking pan; wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coke will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield..... and...
