I'm the Devil!
A woman, whose husband often came home drunk, decided to cure him of the
habit.
One Halloween night, she put on a devil suit and hid behind a tree to
intercept him on the way home.
When her husband came by, she jumped out and stood before him with her
red horns, long tail, and pitchfork.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm the Devil!" she responded.
He said, "Oh, I'm married to your sister!"

RANDOM TIDBITS
Before they cast Friends the intended love story was between Monica and
Joey, but show chiefs changed it to Ross and Rachel after seeing the
chemistry between David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston.
Courteney Cox was supposed to play Rachel but then she asked to play
Monica as she thought the character was stronger.
Gunther didn't have a name until the middle of the second season. And he
didn't have a line until the 33rd episode. It was: "Hey."
The show was originally called Insomnia Cafe. It was then renamed
Friends Like Us, and then Six of One before becoming Friends.
Bruce Willis appeared in the show for free after losing a bet with
Matthew Perry about whether The Whole Nine Yards would be number one in
the box office on its opening weekend. He donated his fee to charity.
In reality, Joey's white dog statue belonged to Jennifer Aniston. It had
been given to her by a friend as a good-luck gift.

The word perfume originates from the Latin word per fumum, which
means"through smoke."
In 2007, Italian archaeologists claimed to have sniffed out the world's
oldest perfumes on the island reputed to be the birthplace of Aphrodite.
Remnants of the perfumes were extracted from an ancient factory that was
part of a larger complex at Pyrgos.
Common ingredients added to perfumes include ginger, grapefruit, musk,
peppercorns, mandarin peel, fig leaves, rose, watercress, bamboo,
clementine, vanilla, honeysuckle, and green tea.
To preserve perfumes, it is best to keep them in light, tight aluminum
bottles and to refrigerate them at low temperatures between 3-7 degrees
Celsius.
Perfume fragrances last longer on people with oily skin because their
skin has more natural moisture content to hold the fragrance.
Chanel No. 5 perfume has been around since 1921 and is the company's
most popular perfume. They estimate that one bottle is sold worldwide
every 55 seconds.

A day late, but still interesting.
Indigenous Peoples-Columbus Day - (A True Story)
In 1990, the Berkeley City Council passed a law changing the name of
Columbus Day to Native American Day because Columbus wasn't nice to the
Indians. Of course, no Indians were asked if they wanted the holiday's
name changed or if they wanted to be called Native Americans.
In 1991, the Berkeley City Council changed the name again, to Indigenous
People Day. A group of P.C.ers argued that Indians are not native to
America but to Asia, so calling them Native Americans might be insulting
to Asians. Of course, neither the Indian or Asian communities were
consulted about this.
In 1992, the Italian American Anti-Defamation League gave the City of
Berkeley their Insensitivity Award. The Italian-American group said that
they agreed that Indians haven't been treated well, but that the
Italians weren't the ones who did it, so why take away their holiday?
Nobody asked Italian-Americans how they felt about renaming Columbus
Day.
In 1994, the Berkeley City Council changed the holiday back to Columbus
Day.
In 1995, representatives of the Winnamucca Indians protested City
Council meetings. They argued that Indians had never asked that Columbus
Day be renamed to honor Indians; since it had, the City Council couldn't
take it back, lest they become "indigenous peoples givers."
In 1996, the City Council changed the name to Indigenous Peoples -
Columbus Day.
Currently there are people lobbying to rename the holiday Animal Rights
Day.

Health Tip
Grapes in oil
Cooking food with olive oil is not the only way to lower cholesterol
levels; grape seed oil is a flavorsome alternative with added health
benefits. Grape seed oil is high in antioxidants, vitamin E, and has the
ability to raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels and lower LDL (bad)
cholesterol levels like that of olive oil. The effect is due to the
oil’s poly - and monounsaturated fat content. Also, the slight nutty
flavor of this oil complements other foods such as salads, breads, and
vegetables.

Perfecting Our Soul
Life is our classroom for perfecting our souls,
The forks in the road help us choose our own goals.
There’s no right or wrong in the direction we choose,
God gave us free will; we don’t win or lose.
We can veer right or left or go forward or back
Take which way feels right, for no learning shall lack.
And when this life ends, we’ll look back and decide
If we yearn more perfection, or stay on the Other Side
Each immortal soul is given the choice
To come back to a life to express a new voice,
B ut
remember, each day, if life
Seems not to give a choice of circumstance;
It’s through those lessons we must live
Sometimes worth it to leave it to chance.
They’re all for perfecting, though sometimes bring pain,
But gets better with time…for it’s more wisdom we gain.
