just because you're a girl doesn't mean you shouldn't know how to shake hands! firm grip unless the person is older, then you soften your grip but don't do the woosey little girl hand shake! no one will respect that!
always keep the faith
know thyself
don't follow the crowd - be true to yourself
and last but not least
don't believe the boys when they say "they could die if you don't let them, "

Ten Healthy Cooking Tips


Cut the salt in half in your favorite recipes. Most of the time this will not produce a noticeable taste change. Consider replacing part of the salt with an herb or spice, flavored vinegar, citrus juice or peel. Garlic or onion power (not garlic or onion salt) work well in meats, soups, and sauces. Make your own mix of garlic, onion, paprika, and parsley flakes. See also: Salt Sense

Use veggie spray or non-stick pans for grilling or stir-frying.

Choose methods of cooking that will retain flavor, color, and nutrients. Steam instead of boiling vegetables. Avoid cooking at high temperatures (except for quick stir-frying) and long cooking times. Both extended heat and liquid can destroy or leach out valuable nutrients.

Add vegetables whenever possible to ensure your five-a-day intake. Experiment with more veggie variety in salads, try new vegetable mixes, include some shredded vegetables in casseroles, and add different vegetables to soups and stews. Use chopped red or yellow peppers to "pep" up the flavor. Try vegetable salsas and fruit chutneys as accompaniments to meat or poultry in place of heavy gravies or sauces.

Try some lower-in-fat substitutes such as low fat cheese, salad dressing and evaporated skim milk. Try low cholesterol egg products. Use two egg whites instead of one whole egg to significantly reduce the fat and cholesterol content of some baked goods. See also: Defatting Your Recipes

When you use oil, select olive or canola oil. Drain off visible fat while cooking, blot pan-fried foods on paper towels to absorb extra grease, and allow soups to chill before reheating and serving so that the fat can be skimmed off the top.

Choose roasting, poaching or stir frying as frequent cooking methods. Keep open-flame grilling of meats to a minimum as this practice produces cancer-promoting compounds. Avoid eating charred food. Microwave cooking is a healthful way to cook vegetables because the short cooking time reduces nutrient losses and usually no added water or fat is needed.

Reduce the fat in home baked goodies by substituting applesauce, pureed prunes, mashed bananas, or yogurt for up to half of the shortening. It works! Obviously prune puree would discolor a yellow cake but does well for chocolate cake and brownies. The end result is moist and fat content is reduced. See also: Fruit Puree Fat Replacement

Substitute some whole grain products for all-purpose flour in your cooking. Try whole wheat flour, oatmeal or flax in bread and muffins, or add some bran or wheat germ to your meatloaf. Try using some soy flour in biscuits and breads.

Try more fruit desserts (fresh, stewed, and cobblers) instead of cakes and cookies. Choose frozen yogurt, sherbet and sorbet instead of ice cream. Serve cake with fruit sauce instead of frosting or whipped cream.

*Using sensible cooking methods, less fat, and adding more vegetables, fruits and whole grains to recipes are guaranteed winning techniques to set a better nutritional table. These steps can also help lower risk for chronic diseases such as cancer

Poems For ReviewRe: The Phone Call by Epi(op): 4:43am On Feb 08, 2009
What if I told you that I needed you-
Would you understand where I would be coming from?
When I see you I try my best to be strong
But my body gets weak, hmm something must be wrong
How can I feel love if I haven’t lived it
My body will explode, if I don't soon give it

Can you see that I have an itch and nobody to fulfill it?
Poems For ReviewRe: The Phone Call by Epi(op): 4:16am On Feb 08, 2009
I see you too, always on my mind
When you “walk” pass
You forget and leave that sweet smell behind
I always wish for that passionate kiss
A moment of ecstasy spent on you
Ohhhhh what wonders for a sistah it would do
The joy in your smile, your style
Make me want to stop you and kick it for a while

can I nibble you

how good is it
how hot is it
how hard is it

I wanna know
how good would you be
Poems For ReviewRe: The Phone Call by Epi(op): 3:43am On Feb 08, 2009
BEAUTIFUL, BRILLIANT, PRECIOUS, TRUE
UNTOUCHED, SHINY, POLISHED, NEW
PRESTIGIOUS, HONORABLE, FRUITFUL, ENDEARED
SEXY, VIVACIOUS, PLAYFUL, UNFEARED
CAUTIOUS, ESTEEMED, EMOTIONAL, UNSURPRESSED
CALM, RATIONAL, FAITHFUL, BLESSED

Never allow anyone to bring you down
From the seat of your throne, for YOU wear the crown.
You are man's gift from GOD,
Allow no one to demean.
You should accept nothing less
Than the treatment of a queen.
You are so many things, no weak man could capture.
He would surely fall slave to the grip of your rapture.
What you have grown to be,
Allow no one to tear down
Remember, for you are a QUEEN
And YOU bear the crown.

An Interesting Read

Expand Your Niche

If you've been running your business for a while, you've probably fallen into somewhat of a routine. Sure, there are the day-to-day fires that need to be put out, and your head may be swimming with all the new ways the Internet presents to get your name in front of potential customers in your niche market. But, if you are successful, you probably stay focused on selling to that niche market you've already identified as most likely to buy your product or service.

And that's a good thing, right?

Well, yes, to a point.

Finding a need and filling it is the way most small businesses succeed. But don't let your success box you in.

If you do nothing but serve that one niche, you could be missing one or more other markets that wouldn't be all that difficult to reach. For example, instead of relying solely on the walk-in retail business at your bakery, could you increase profits by selling the bread and cakes to local restaurants? If you're selling successfully to the business community, could you also sell to state, federal or local government agencies?

To make sure you're not missing opportunities to branch into new markets, once a quarter, take the time to ask, "Who else needs what we sell?" Throw the question at your team, at business acquaintances who don't compete with you, at family and friends. Write down their responses and review them with an open mind. The result could be a new lucrative market for what you sell.
