Great Idea to Take To A Party – Or Not!

How simple is this and a great idea.
Actually you don’t have to use strawberries. You could put melted chocolate in the ice-cube then put in raw almonds, or brazil nuts or even melted caramel. Heaps of things you could do and a great party dessert

Fill an ice-cube tray with melted chocolate. Add strawberries, add more chocolate, and cool.

Fingerprints are actually created by fetal movements – as the young fetus moves within the uterus, its skin shifts, forming the ridges of its fingerprints. This is the reason why no two people have the same fingerprints, even identical twins.

Poem About Nothing In Particular

Poem about nothing in particular
Author: Lesley Voth

The sun is out, it feels warmer and that is good
While riding my motorcycle I wont need the hood

Winter is a step closer come every day
I hate the cold it is bleak in every way

I hibernate like a squirrel and all his nuts
By the end of winter I have increased not one but two butts

But what the heck Christmas is so near
I am looking forward to clinking glasses in good cheer

I don’t worry so much anymore about Santa Claus
Cause when you get my age he don’t come knocking on these doors

Did I tell you I am writing a new book
Don’t know what to call it, I need a good hook

Its being edited today for spelling mistakes
It will tell you how to save money and put on the credit card brakes

Lets talk about our candidates Perry and Cain
Seems like one is doing the soft shoe shuffle around women again

And then there is Perry who has not got that remembering mind
I bet he has trouble dressing in the morning, shoes and socks hard to find

Well I am off to the movies this afternoon
See J Edgar, Interesting history but will go down as a buffoon

Have a safe and happy weekend
Spend it with family or a wonderful friend
