If you have seen this post and read the comments, you will understand this picture.

At least I think you will understand?

I was going to post this on Facebook

.

Then I remembered I don't have a Facebook page.



Then I remembered I don't even want a Facebook page.


It's bad enough that I have a blog

.

Don't ask me why

.

No, there wasn't a post yesterday and this might be it for today.

At the risk of offending someone

I'm posting this exactly [almost... I left out the graphics] how it appeared in my Inbox

 Pass The Butter .. Please. This is interesting . .. . Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.. DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter? Read on to the end...gets very interesting! Both have the same amount of calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study. Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.. Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added! Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods. Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years . And now, for Margarine.. Very High in Trans fatty acids. Triples risk of coronary heart disease . Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) Increases the risk of cancers up to five times.. Lowers quality of breast milk. Decreases immune response. Decreases insulin response. And here's the most disturbing fact..... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING! Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance). You can try this yourself: Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things: * no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something) * it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast? Share This With Your Friends......(If you want to butter them up')! Chinese Proverb: When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others. Pass the BUTTER PLEASE

I mean why the heck can't someone send a message in straight unadulterated text? You can imagine how trashy it looked with the graphics added.

...and for my next trick

Maybe I mentioned that I don't have a bloglist because...
Well, it doesn't matter any more because the rule's been modified, at least for the moment.
I was blogsurfing and found a post by one of the blogging superstars. Ann of Ann's Rants had a guest poster Monday. So now after you read the guest post, maybe you will understand why Malady is in the sidebar. If you don't, it's okay. It saves us both a little embarrassment.

Think about it

.

An alcoholic was walking down the beach and came across a lantern, he rubbed some of the sand off of it and out came a genie.
The genie said he would grant the man three wishes.
The mans first wish was for an never-ending bottle of whisky,... the genie grants this wish.
The man takes some time and enjoys his first wish, eventually the genie asks him what his second and third wishes are,
the man replies "I'll take two more of these".
