P.s if it does not work tell me.

I was reading in my science today and they were talking about some of the things that can be dissolved in different types of liquids and pop was one of them.

Here is a really interesting article on “Liquid Candy” (aka Soda Pop)

Here is some of what the article said

“

“

That is a big amount of pop, and i don’t even drink pop that much…it makes you some what grossed out!

Here are two more

“Carbonated soft drinks are the single biggest source of calories in the American diet, providing about 7 percent of calories; adding in noncarbonated drinks brings the figure to 9 percent. Teenagers get 13 percent of their calories from carbonated and non carbonated soft drinks.”

“Consumption of carbonated soft drinks peaked in 1998, when consumption was 56.1 gallons per person. In a historic turnaround, consumption was 7 percent lower in 2004. And because some people have switched to diet sodas, the consumption of caloric soft drinks declined by 12 percent.”

I mean come on here 56.1 Gallons per person!!!

Tell me what you think.

Here is a really touching story…I hope you like it….

 A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could easily afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young mans name embosses in gold. Angrily, he rose and said to his father, “With all your money, you give me a Bible?” And he stormed out of the house.

Many years passed, and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family but knew his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day years earlier. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still gift- wrapped Bible just as he had left it years ago. With tears running down his face, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse of Scripture: “If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:11). As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation and the words “Paid in Full.” How many times do we miss God’s blessings because we can’t see past our own desires?

You asked for more jokes! These are from the same magazine:

The Writer’s Corner.

Joke #1:

Jim, Fred and Jack were at a convention together and were sharing a large suite on the top of a 75 story mess. After a long day of meetings, they were shocked to hear that the elevators in their hotel were broken and they would have to climb 75 flights of stairs to get to their room. Jack said to Jim and Fred: “Let’s break the monotony of this unpleasant task by concentrating on something interesting. I’ll tell jokes for 25 flights, Jim can sing songs for 25 flights and Fred can tell sad stories for the rest of the way.” At the 26th floor, Jack stopped telling jokes and Jim began singing, at the 51st floor, Jim stopped singing and Fred began to tell sad stories. “I’ll tell my saddest story first,” he said, “I left the room key in the car.”

Joke #2

The lawyer gathered the family of the recently deceased Sam Wong Berg around him. He began to read Sam’s will aloud: “To my dear wife, I leave my house, fifty acres of land one million dollars.” ‘To my son, Sam, I leave my two cars and $100,000.” “To my daughter, Bessie, I leave my yacht and $100,00.” “And to my brother-in-law, who always insisted that health is better then wealth, I leave my sun lamp.”

Joke # 3

“I really loved my vacation in California,” said the goofy lady on the plane. “Where did you stay?” the goofy man next to her asked. “San Jose.” she said. “Madam, in California we pronounce the J as H. We say San Hosay. How long were you there?” “All of Hune and most of Huly.”

Joke # 4

Lady Motorist: “I’m afraid this accident was largely my fault.”

Gentleman: “Nonsense! The blame rests entirely on me. I saw you at least three blocks away and had plenty of time to swerve down a side street.”

Tell me how you like them!!!!!

Love,
