THE NEW DIET

Reggie was terribly overweight, so his doctor placed him on a strict diet.

'I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least five pounds, 'his doctor said.

When Reggie returned he shocked his doctor by having lost almost 20 lbs.

'That's amazing, 'the doctor said, 'You certainly must have followed my instructions.'

Reggie nodded, 'I'll tell you what though, I thought I was going to drop dead on the third day.'

'Why, from hunger?' asked his doctor.

'No, from all that skipping.'

MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME ABOUT....

In honor of Mother's Day, this is for all of the mothers of the world who lovingly try to teach their kids some of life's most important lessons. In the end, little brats just end up growing into bigger brats without learning a thing, but hey, at least mothers try their best to teach them something along the way! Thanks, and enjoy the jokes! 

1. My Mother taught me about ANTICIPATION... "Just wait until your father gets home."
2. My Mother taught me about RECEIVING.... "You are going to get it when we get home!"

3. My Mother taught me to MEET A CHALLENGE... "What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you! Don't talk back!"
4. My Mother taught me LOGIC... "If you fall out off that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me."
5. My Mother taught me MEDICAL SCIENCE... "If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to freeze that way."
6. My Mother taught me to THINK AHEAD... "If you don't pass your spelling test, you'll never get a good job."
7. My Mother taught me HUMOR... "When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me."
8. My Mother taught me how to BECOME AN ADULT... "If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up."
9. My Mother taught me about GENETICS... "You're just like your father."
10. My Mother taught me about my ROOTS... "Do you think you were born in a barn?"
11. My Mother taught me about WISDOM OF AGE... "When you get to be my age, you will understand."
12. My Mother taught me about JUSTICE... "One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you!"

BRAD & AUSTIN'S ART GALLERY

These beautiful butterflies are a great way to welcome spring! Suspend them from the ceiling with fishing line, or make several and attach to a paper plate mobile.

WHAT YOU NEED:
.
½ black chenille stem 
Paper coffee filter 
Water color paints 
Paint brush 
Water


.
WHAT TO DO:

.
Flatten the coffee filter and place it on a plate or newspaper, the paint and water will soak through. Set aside on paper towels to dry. Fold the chenille stem in half. Remember, you are only using half of a chenille stem to begin with. Fold the coffee filter accordion style, in about ½" pleats. Position the pleated coffee filter into the bent end of the chenille stem. Center the filter at the bend. Twist the chenille stem around the filter to secure it in place. Bend the tips of the chenille stems over about ¼" to create the antennae. Fan out the butterfly wings. If desired, hang with yarn or fishing line.
.

AUNTIE MARGARET'S TIPS: For a more vibrant butterfly, be sure to paint all white areas with paint. Tie a piece of fishing line around the "neck" and suspend from the ceiling. They will look like they are flying! Instead of using all the colors on one filter, make some with warm colors (red, yellow, orange) and some with cool colors (blue, green, purple).
