| Want To Publish Your Recipes In Our Cook Book? | We are gathering recipes for Cook Book number two, tentatively called Cooking With Online Friends.
"Cooking With Online Friends" has a small staff of three and will be more than your "average" cook book. We are aiming for fun and funny with story-book illustrations, anecdotes, devotionals with a cooking theme, cartoon strips, doodles, one-line recipes and whatnot.
If you would like to send us some of your unique and original recipes we will give you credit (a by line) and your name will be placed in our monthly drawing for some great prizes. Each cook will have their own section. Present your recipes like you had your own cable show. Show us personality. Liven up your presentation, so to speak.
Prizes include; gift certificates from Target, ITunes, Barnes & Noble, Amazon; Comic books, $5 cash into your PayPal account, novels and a copy of our first book, "Come and Dine." More prizes to be announced soon.
You can send recipes to my inbox or email gtargirl@aol.com. We're looking forward to cooking with you.

 | Publishing Our Second Cook Book |
It's a very fun project we've undertaken here. We're publishing a cook book with mostly online friends. Facebook, MyLot and hopefully our Yuwie friends will also submit a few of their favorite recipes. We're trying to make it sort of a conversational recipe book with the voice of each author coming through the recipe, so to speak. Think Emerald.
Along with the recipes we're looking for poetry about food, food related articles and stories, one-line recipes and cooking tips. Photographs, illustrations, doodles and cartoons (all with a cooking or food theme) will also be included.

| The Man Rules | Got these from Carrie. She rules!
The Man RulesÂ
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Finally , the guys' side of the story. ( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear ' the rules ' From the female side. Now here are the
rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered '1 ' ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it
down. We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do
not work! Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's
what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. (MY
PERSONAL FAVORITE!) In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways
makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it
done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during
commercials..
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach,
for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no
idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like
nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer
you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...
Really .
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to
discuss such topics as baseball or golf.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the
couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like
camping.
Pass this to as many men as you can - to give them a laugh.
Pass this to as many women as you can - to give them a bigger laugh.

| Help Me Beef Up My Son . . . | Layne is 16 years old, a little rebellious, very sweet, plays drums and no matter what he does he cannot put on any weight. His dad is pretty slender as is his grandfather but I'm getting a little worried now.
We've tried the six meals a day with lots of carbs etc. and added the protein drinks. It looks like he's actually losing the weight. Maybe he's too active; skating, boarding, biking and lifts weights.
Okay, so any suggestions what to feed this kid? He's not even 100 lbs yet. Even fast food can't fatten him up. Yesterday he walked around with no shirt on and not only can you see his bones you can see his whole skeleton like he's anorexic or something.
Having said that, he feels fine. Maybe he's just growing upwards a tad bit too fast. Well, any suggestions would be appreciated.

| My Broken Heart | You know how music can just lift your spirit? Or heal my heart, for instance. So life is good but once in a while I get to feeling that my broken heart isn't quite healed all the way . . . yet. And maybe that's good for now. Some day my Prince will come, right? Hopefully I will have cleaned out all the baggage I'm carrying so he won't have to deal with it. Let's pray that this one will stay in the castle with us till the end of days.
In any case, one of my favorite bands is Falling Up and they pretty much sum it all up for me.
Broken Heart
In this moment synchronized inside, words that paint a legacy of
life
A different picture will unfold, a healing finds it's way
through
Sifted times I take another breath, with an ambiance of nothing
left
So heal my heart rain down your love these waters bring me back
to life
[Chorus]
Father, healer deliver me from broken love
Stay hear, closer let me hear your voice of love
There's a healing calling from the wind, there's a healer
waiting to begin
In timeless places, traced and faceless will I learn to let
go
Take me to the heights where love controls,
far away from home but feels so close
This empty heart of mine will fall inside and bring me back to
life
[Chorus]
Father, healer deliver me from broken love
Stay hear, closer let me hear your voice of love
You can hold, you can mend
You can heal, you can brake
I hold cause something etched this way
[Chorus]
Father, healer deliver me from broken love
Stay hear, closer let me hear your voice of love
Savior, Redeemer bring me to this place of peace
Jesus, guardian my broken heart is so in need
Here's the link to the video Broken Heart by Falling Up.

College
Release Date: October 2008
There are over 3 million graduating high school seniors each
year and more than half of them apply to college. These days, colleges are
deluged with applications and the college application process has become the
most traumatic thing that most of theses students and their parents have ever
experienced. There are many books published on how to get into college. Our
book will be one of the only ones out there that provides emotional, not
tactical, support.
Our market for this book is 10th, 11th, and
12th graders and their parents, meaning a target audience of more than five
million kids and at least that many parents the day we publish.

Do I Want to Go to College?
Parental
Pressure

with Friends
Regrets over Past

SATs and ACTs ñ Living through
Them
Sports and Coaches

Waitlisted and
Deferred
Disappointments
Preparing to Leave the Nest

written in first person, and 1,000 words or less. Stories should make readers
laugh, cry or sigh, and be positive, universal and non-controversial. Also, the

commentaries, tributes, philosophical or biographical pieces will be accepted.
Please refer to other Chicken Soup books to better understand our story-telling
style.
You may submit more than one story. For each story
selected, a 50-word biography will be included about the contributor and a
permission fee of $200 per story will be paid within 30 days upon

| American Flag Etiquette: Do You Know The Code? | Here's an incomplete list of the Code. There's a link on the bottom of this blog if you're interested in the complete list. Happy Memorial Day America.
1. The flag should be lighted at all times, either by sunlight or by an appropriate light source.
2. The flag should be flown in fair weather, unless the flag is designed for inclement weather use.
3. The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal.
4. The flag should not be used for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.
5. The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard.
6. The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations.
7. The flag should never have any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind placed on it, or attached to it.
8, The flag should never be used for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
9. When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously.
10. The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary.
11. When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.
12. Over the Middle of the Street: It should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street.
13. With Other National Flags: When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.
