Did You Hear about this story..it supposed to be true?
No Underwear

A couple who drove their car to Wal-Mart, only to have their car break down in the parking lot. The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the lot.

The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of under-pants turned private parts into glaringly public ones.

Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything into place.

The wife stood back up, she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by.

The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.

I thought it was kind of funny..what do you think..fact or fiction??

Todays Tip:Dinner
There has always been this notion that dinner should be the biggest meal of the day. However, I think that dinner does not have to be that grand because what you do after dinner may not require as much energy as what you did during the day. But I still look forward to dinner because I get most creative for this meal. I am going to take a different approach with this section. I am going to list nutritious low-fat recipes that are fairly easy to prepare. I always say if you can read and follow directions you can cook too!! These are traditional recipes with a healthy twist...And if you have any questions or need more ideas just let me know.
