I decided doing this easier way of making Spanish rice with green peppers when green peppers went from 50 cents on sale to 99 cents each on sale. By the time I would buy 8 of them along with their fixings, it was just not a very inexpensive meal for us. So I reduced the peppers to only 3 and make it in the skillet primarily instead of the oven. We actually like it better as we get peppered out the other way.

"We'll call her Eucalyptus." The father did not care for this name but he shrewdly said, "What a coincidence, the first girl I loved was named Eucalyptus, and it will bring back pleasant memories."

My daughter seemed deep in thought when she said, "I have a question." "What do you want to know?"

Learning that it was the couple's 50th wedding anniversary, the flight attendant congratulated them and asked how they had done it. "It all felt like five minutes..." the gentleman said slowly. The stewardess had just begun to remark on what a sweet statement that was when he finished his sentence with a word that earned him a sharp smack on the head: "...underwater." -<>- >Well Planned? A guy planned a heist down to the last detail. The plan was to hold up an armored car as it made its pickup at a bowling alley. When the car arrived, he rushed up to the driver, flashed a gun and screamed, "Give it up!" The startled driver looked around inside the vehicle and finally handed the stupid criminal a large sack. Unfortunately, instead of holding up an armored car he had robbed a laundry truck. The sack contained a bunch of dirty mop heads. Proof that criminals are not rocket scientists. -<>- >Banana My four-year-old grandson wanted a banana.

I explained to him that they start out green and then get brown spots as they ripen. Sighing, he put his face in his hands and said. "Then I'll wait until they turn into banana bread." -<>- >40th Birthday On her 40th birthday a wife waltzed out of the bedroom dressed in an old outfit that she dug out of the back of the closet. "I wore this on my 30th birthday! I guess that means my wardrobe is ten years old," she said to her husband, hoping he'd take the hint and buy her some new clothes as a present. "Or," he offered instead, "it means when you were 30 you had the body of a 40-year-old."

A church congregation that was next door strongly opposed it, but construction of the bar went on. Just before it was finished, however, lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground. The church congregation gloated and credited the Lord. The bar owner sued the church, claiming that the congregation's prayers had cost him his building, but the church leaders denied having anything to do with it. The case went to court and the local judge was said not to know how to rule on the matter. He said he had a bar owner who believed in the power of prayer and a church congregation that didn't! -------- At a children's hospital, a little boy about three years old was brought into the emergency room.

Bill answered: "Either you like Picasso, or you don't like Picasso." -------- A blonde was recently hired at an office. Her first task was to go out for coffee. Eager to do well her first day on the job, she grabbed a large thermos and hurried to a nearby coffee shop. She held up the thermos and the coffee shop worker quickly came over to take her order. She asked, "Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?" The coffee shop worker looked at the thermos, hesitated a few seconds, then finally replied, "Yeah. It looks like about six cups to me." "Oh good!" the blonde sighed in relief. "Then give me two regular, two black, and two decaf." -------- Five tips for a woman.... 1.

It is important that a man loves you and spoils you. 5. It is also very important that these four men don't know each other. ------- With their ailing mother needing constant medical supervision, a family decided to bring her to a very expensive and caring nursing home for a day to try it out. The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seemed okay but after a while she slowly started to lean over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rushed up to catch her and straighten her out. Again, she seemed okay but after a while she started to tilt to the other side. The nurses rushed back and once more brought her back upright. This went on all morning, with the dedicated nurses making sure the old woman didn't fall. Later, the family arrived to see how she was adjusting to her new home. "So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?" they asked. "It’s very nice," she replied. "Except they won’t let you fart." --- ...Oh My! LOL!

The unidentified truck driver was traveling west on Highway 72, when a four-door red car hit his truck twice. The truck driver called the police when the car fled. Madison County deputies found the vehicle's license plate in the debris the was left after the crash. That is how they were able to trace the owner of the car, who matched the description given to them by the truck driver. During the interrogation, Armstrong admitted to being involved in an accident and said that she fled for fear of losing her license. She also told the officers that she hit the truck because she is a vegan. Police said that Armstrong appeared to be drunk. She denied having alcohol before the crash. She claimed that she "took a couple of shots" when she got home. She was tested for alcohol and blew a .089, which is above the legal limit. Armstrong now faces charges of hit-and-run, aggressive driving, driving under the influence, and obstruction. *----------------- Killer Porn -----------------* A lonely Japanese man who amassed more than six tons of porn died when a huge pile of magazines fell on top of him. And even more tragically, the man's body was only discovered six months later when the landlord entered the flat to find out why the rent had not been paid. The man's lowly death was revealed by a member of the cleaning team, who said his company had been hired to remove the magazines discreetly in a way that would not be noticed by neighbours and the man's family to save them from the shame. It was unclear if he had suffered a heart attack and fallen into the stacks of magazines which had then fallen on top of him, or whether he had been crushed by the mass of paper. Every space in the flat was filled with piles of magazines, which also stacked on tables and on shelves. At the time of his death the collection weighed in at six metric tons (13,228 pounds). *------------- Tidal Wave of Beer -------------* A Nevada Highway Patrol dashboard camera was recording when a trooper was drenched by a load of beer that fell from a truck. The highway patrol said Trooper Travis Smaka had pulled a driver over for speeding. "You guys have anything to drink tonight?" Trooper Travis Smaka asks the vehicle's occupants in the dashboard camera footage. The driver says he has not been drinking, and moments later the sound of a truck losing its load of beer can be heard. The video shows a wave of beer from shattered bottles go straight toward the trooper. "Well, over 1,000 pounds of beer shattering and a tidal wave of beer coming at me," Smaka said. Troopers said the semi is believed to have lost its load due to slamming on its brakes when cut off by another vehicle. A similar crash on a Florida highway last year didn't drench any troopers, but it did take the highway happy hour to the next logical level by also involving a truckload of potato chips that ended up in the roadway along with the load of Busch beer. *-- The Exotic Mississippi Tree-Climbing Dogs --* Ok, if there is one thing dogs to NOT do, it is climb trees. That is why it seems odd that this Mississippi man would climb a tree to look for his lost dog. Odder still is the fact that he did it naked, but then again who knows what is normal in Mississippi. The Union County Sheriff's Office said that Shane Treadaway was looking for his lost dog when he climbed on top of a tree. At some point, Treadaway fell and ended up hanging upside down from the tree. Police do not know how Treadaway lost all his clothes. After four hours of hanging from the tree, Treadaway's girlfriend began looking for her lost boyfriend. She was shocked to find him hanging upside down from the tree. Treadaway was taken to the Tupelo hospital. Police are still investigating the incident. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Geniann :) "America will never be destroyed from the outside.

Arizona Governor vs. Phoenix Suns owner The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, Robert Sarver, opposed AZ's immigration laws enforced by Arizona's Governor, Jan Brewer. She released the following statement in response to Sarver's criticism of the new ID law: "What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus nonpaying attendees couldn't be ejected. Furthermore, what if Suns' ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gatecrasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?" - Arizona Gov.

She took the box and promised to put it in the crew's refrigerator. He pointedly informed her that he was going to hold her personally responsible for the crabs staying frozen, pointing out over and over he was an attorney and proceeded to rant at her about what would happen to her if she let them thaw out. Needless to say, she was greatly annoyed by his continuous behavior. Shortly before landing in Los Angeles, the blonde crew member used the intercom to announce to the entire cabin, "Would the gentleman who gave me the crabs in New Orleans, please raise your hand so I can return them to you?"

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms...WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them! Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that! The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL. And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! -<>- A wife asked her husband, "Honey, could you please run to the store and get a carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get a dozen." A while later the husband returned with a case of quart milk cartons. Staring incredulously at the 12-pack case of milk, his wife asked, "Why the hell did you buy so much milk?" Her husband said, "They had eggs." ========================================================= >-->From AndyChaps: >Andy Says... Just Think About This! ,-. Life keeps rolling along......

I need all the preservatives I can get. **You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're down there. **You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. **One of life's mysteries is how a two pound box of candy can make a person gain five pounds. **Every time I think about exercise, I lie down 'till the thought goes away. **God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I will live forever. **I finally got my head together, and my body fell apart. **Time may be a great healer, but it's also a lousy beautician. **Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone. **Amazing! You just hang something in your closet for a while, and it shrinks two sizes. **Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake. -<>- _"_ % (< ? ` " __||___ |\___//_\ (' | ') \\ __|\ , / |/ /: / \ :: \| ######o /| ######## \) ######## \ : / \: / -- %%% %% % /:\ |/|, b'ger >Great Reasons For Being A Blonde **Free dinners. **You can cry without pretending there's something in your contact. **Speeding ticket?

Guess which one wins. NO SOUND, but the video is enough. How many times have you heard: "I wish they would make cars the way they did in the old days." You know how we always think about what big huge tanks the old cars of the 50's and 60's were for size? And how we talk about how there is so much plastic on the new cars that if one of the old tanks ever collided with a new car, the new car would be demolished? Well, someone in the insurance industry put that theory to the test. Be sure to watch to the end to see the overhead view - and the assessment of driver injury.
