5/2/2002 4:23PM Goodevening everyone! Welcome to Sheri's Free Stuff and Contests Newsletter. Sorry I'm late getting this out today, but we have had one bad thunderstorm right after another all day long. It was so bad last night that we ended up in the basement for a couple of hours till they all cleared. Some counties here in Ky. received hail the size of baseballs and tornadoes so I feel pretty lucky that we escaped the worst of it. I waited all day to see if yesterday's short newsletter would resend itself and so far so good. I am hoping this one won't either. If it does just delete it. I have contacted them at freelists and they are working on the problem. If it continues to "loop" itself then I guess we will be moving our mailing list to another server this weekend. A great big welcome to all of our newest members and subscribers! I hope you enjoy all the freebies and contests you will find at Sheri's Free Stuff and Contests. Our members work really hard in bringing the most up to date freebies and contests to all of you. If you get a minute, stop by the board and just say thanks. I want to also welcome our newest moderator. Barbara aka bnivs. As some of you may recall, she was the one that brought us such great freebie songs this week. Thanks Barbara for helping us out on the board and welcome! I want to say a farewell to one of our freebie sites. Nancy of Freebies and Fun Links is leaving us. Nancy we are going to miss you and thanks for such a great site! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have a birthday to announce today.

The waiter comes and takes their drink order. "I would like a Sprite," said the first little piggie. "I would like a Coke," said the second little piggie. "I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggie. The drinks are brought out and the waiter takes their orders for dinner. "I want a nice big steak," said the first piggie. "I would like the salad plate," said the second piggie. "I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggie. The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert. "I want a banana split," said the first piggie. "I want a root beer float," said the second piggie. "I want water, lots and lots of water," exclaimed the third little piggie. "Pardon me for asking," said the waiter to the third little piggie, "but why have you only ordered water all evening?" You're gonna hate me for this.... Hold on to your seat ........ The third piggie says - "Well, somebody has to go 'Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!" ============================================================================= 6.

Your hose will resist snags and runs if you do this simple trick BEFORE you wear them for the first time. Mix 2 cups of salt with one gallon of water. Place the hose in the solution and soak for 3 hours. Rinse in cold water, and drip dry. It seems that ordinary table salt acts to toughen the fibers. ============================================================================= THAT'S IT FOR TODAY'S FREEBIES.
