Don't miss Harry Potter at the Movies (Apologies to Michael Bullivant!!)
Audrey Hepburn wrote this poem when she was asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later. For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
New research suggests refined breads and cereals are more likely to cause acne than chocolates or fatty foods. The study by scientists at the Colorado State University holds highly refined starches responsible because they are easily digested. It says eating them triggers the body to produce insulin and insulin-like growth factors in higher quantities. This can lead to a surplus of male hormones, which encourages the skin to produce "sebum" the greasy "goop" that acne-promoting bacteria love. Acne may not be the only problem caused by eating large quantities of highly refined starches. Such diets have also been blamed for causing shortsightedness and contributing to the adult onset of diabetes.
The Breast cancer Web Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
Just a mention here on our hyper-inflationary supermarket, TM Bradfield: Red Seal oats were $410.00 on 3rd February 2003 - eleven days later they are $995.00! An increase of over 146%. When questioned about the justification, the buyer said: "because that's the price now." That blew my mind! When do we start to fight back? Is the Consumer Council even interested any more? WHAT DO WE DO!
The Hormone Hostage knows that there are days in the month when all a man has to do is open his mouth and he takes his life in his own hands! This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver's license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, or significant other. DANGEROUS: What's for dinner? DANGEROUS: Are you wearing that? DANGEROUS: What are you so worked up about? DANGEROUS: Should you be eating that? And my personal favorite..... Pass this on to all of your hormonal friends and those who might need a good laugh! Or men who need a warning. And remember: Money talks. Chocolate sings

Why can't life be this simple? Ah the days the days.... Close your eyes..... And go back in time.... Before the Internet and DVD. Before semi-automatic machine guns, joyriders and crack .. Before SEGA or Super Nintendo... Way back.... I'm talking about Hide and seek in the park. The corner shop, Hopscotch, butterscotch, skipping, handstands, football with an old can, Bulldog, Beano, Twinkle and Roly Poly, Hula Hoops, jumping in enormous puddles, Building dams. The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass. Bazooka Joe bubble gum. An ice cream cone on a warm summer night from the van that plays a tune - 99's, screwballs or a cider lolly. Wait......Watching Saturday Morning cartoons...short commercials, The Double Deckers, Road Runner, He-Man, Captain Caveman, Swapshop, and Why Don't You. Staying up late for Star trek or Minder. When around the corner seemed far away, and going into town seemed like going somewhere. A million mosquito bites, wasp and bee stings. Sticky fingers. Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians. Zorro. Climbing trees, Walking to school, no matter what the weather. Running till you were out of breath. Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt. Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights. Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for the giggles. Being tired from playing... Remember that? The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. Football cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle I'm not finished just yet...Eating raw jelly, orange squash, ice lollies. Remember when... There were two types of tennis shoes - girls and boys. Dunlop Green Flash or Bata Tommies and the only time you wore them at school, was for "gym." You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents! It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends. You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas eve. When nobody owned a pure-bred dog. When 25p was decent pocket money. When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for 10 pence. When nearly everyone's mum was at home when the kids got there from School. It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb. When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at real restaurant with your parents. When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it. When being sent to the head's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home. Basically, we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! And some of us are still afraid of them!!! Didn't that feel good? Just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that! Remember when.... Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo." "Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly". The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was germs, and the worst thing in your day was having to sit next to one. It was unbelievable that dodge ball wasn't an Olympic event. Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a catapult. Nobody was prettier than your Mum. Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better. Taking drugs meant orange-flavoured chewable aspirin. Ice cream was considered a basic food group. Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dare". Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors. If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!!
