"In The Beginning.... God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach combined with an abundance of green, yellow and red vegetables. He did this so that Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then, using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Queen.. And Satan said: "You want hot fudge with that?" And Man said: "Yes!" And Woman said: "I'll have one too...with sprinkles." And low and behold they gained 10 pounds. And so God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane, and combined them. And Woman went from size 2 to size 14. So God said: "Try my fresh green garden salad." And Satan presented crumbled Bleu Cheese dressing and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast. God then said: "I have sent you heart-healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep-fried coconut shrimp, butter-dipped lobster chunks, and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man's cholesterol went through the roof. Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthful skin, sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man packed on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that his children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan introduced cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretchy lycra jogging suits. God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and the 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then Satan said: "You want fries with that?" And Man replied: "Yes! And super size 'em!" And Satan said: " It is good." And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest. God sighed...and created quadruple by-pass surgery. Satan chuckled and created The Health Care System Take care,

Every year we get a cost of living raise, but for the last 6 years the company has been putting it toward our healthcare instead of giving it to us! And now they're talking about making us pay part of our premium anyways!!!

See Sheri -- you take a cut in pay when you get a raise! Plus, the State of Oklahoma just gives us enough of a raise that it throws DH and I into a higher income tax bracket so -- more income taxes to pay next year! Patsy Patsy
