My GF sent me this and I fell in love immediately with the man in this letter. I love men who have a good sense of humour (meaning my sense of humour) and my husband made me laugh all of our life together. It is a letter from Target (possibly apocryphal) complaining to a lady about the actions of her husband who was totally bored whilst she was shopping in that store. Dear Mrs. ...

Bartering is a way of life for many people in J.A. It also goes for buying anything in the market too. You just learn to haggle. For example, I may employ someone for four hours in my garden and part of his pay will be in produce from my garden or something else that I may have that he wants. This could be an old cell phone or transistor radio. It can be anything firm used clothes etc. You just...

The way that I love to eat those big fat juicy mushrooms is simple but oh so good. I wipe them with a damp cloth and then place them on foil. Then sprinkle them with black pepper, little garlic and salt and butter ([b]do not use margarine as I will come over there and hit you on the head with a big sausage[/b]) Seal the foil and bake in the oven until cooked. Fit for a king (or an emperor! ...

Yes, I did forget but cook the mushrooms with butter! Believe me, the taste is fantastic. Now I am brain dead but will make an effort to set the record straight. Chocolate is a different thingy.

I did not do anything with the two of them toget...

One year ago today I was in a better position financially as all of my children were employed. Now 2 of them are wihtout work and one is barely making enough to make her car payments. I was also in a better place spiritually as my peace was shattered last Friday. I work in the same place, and have the same friends but also a few new friends. I have lost three friends through death and now have ...
