Diary of a Young Wife

Monday:
Now home from honeymoon and settled in our new home.
It's fun to cook for Tim. Today I made an angel food cake and the recipe said, "Beat 12 eggs separately." Well, I didn't have enough bowls to do that, so I had to borrow 12 bowls to beat the eggs in. The cake turned out fine though.



Tuesday:
We wanted a fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, "Serve without dressing." So I didn't dress. But Tim happened to bring a friend home for supper that night. They both looked so startled when I served them, I think it was the salad.



Wednesday:
I decided to serve rice and found a recipe which said, "wash thoroughly before steaming the rice." So I heated some water and took a bath before steaming the rice. Sounded kind of silly in the middle of the day. I can't say it improved the rice anyhow.



Thursday:
Today Tim asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe.

It said, prepare ingredients,
and then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving." I hunted all over the place for a garden and when I got one, I tossed my salad into the bed of lettuce and stood over there for over one hour so the dog would not take it. Tim came over and asked if I felt all right. I wonder why? He must be stressed at work; I'll try to be supportive.



Friday:
Today I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, "put all ingredients in a bowl and beat it." Beat it I did, to my mum's place. There must have been something wrong with the recipe, because when I came back home again; it looked the same as when I left it.



Saturday:
Tim went shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I'm sure I don't know how hens dress for Sunday. I never noticed back on the farm, but I found an old doll dress and its little cute shoes. I thought the hen looked really cute. When Tim saw it, he started counting to ten. Either he was really stressed because of his work, or he wanted the chicken to dance.



When I asked him what was wrong he started crying and shouting out "why me? Why me?"



Hmmm.............It must be his job.

Five worst Cancer Causing Foods

There are some foods that people who are at high risk for developing cancer should definitely avoid. Generally, says natural health researcher Mike Adams, they should avoid foods that contain ingredients known to cause cancer, such as refined sugars and grains, hydrogenated oils, and nitrates. But which foods are the absolute worst?

The top five cancer-causing foods are:

1. Hot dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.

2. Processed meats and bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer

3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer

4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acrylamides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams.

5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Not a Joke

There are few people outside do far more better job than us and still glad about their job.

This guy here is a Coolie (Luggage carrier) at bus station Bangalore, Kalasipalya bus stop (City market) who usually carry luggage to/from the bus.

As per one of my friend's advice, we understand that of late Volvo busses carry 2 wheelers as well from place to another. Please try out next time.

Please take few seconds to think how they carry 2 wheelers to the bus?

Most of the times they carry it in the box located under the bus and if the box is full some times they carry the vehicle to top of the bus.

Without scrolling down, can someone guess how they carry the vehicle?

It is already an accepted fact that every single person in the world has a different set of fingerprints. The Chinese have devised a way to read personality & destiny traits by studying the waves and the circles that appear at the tips of everyone's fingers – indeed so convinced are they that in the old days the fingers of prospective daughters-in-law were carefully scrutinized by prominent families to ensure they did not unwittingly welcome women who had fingers that showed alternate circles and waves on their fingers, as it was commonly believed that such women would bring trouble into the family, being particularly difficult to control and usually very aggressive.

I bring you some indications of destiny & personality traits based on the circles and waves on the five fingers of each hand. Guys should examine their left hands while women should look at their right hands.

Here are the two different patterns of circles and waves seen on every finger. To make a reading, look at your thumb print first, then your index finger, your middle finger, your ring finger and then your little finger in that order. This is the sequence that offers clues to your destiny & fortunes of your life.

For ease of reference we shall refer to circles as Os and to waves as Ws.

Fingers: OOOOO (all whorls)
Means: This person is very confident, has a strong character and a hot temper. He/she is an independent person. The luck of this person changes dramatically in life from one period to the next. The undoing of this person will be his/her hot temper so it is vital that this person must learn to be patient and calm.

Shape: WWWWW (all waves)
Means: This person is a straightforward honest person who goes with the flow. The fingers indicate someone very sensitive, who is especially suited to design and creative work. People with these fingerprint patterns tend to be shy and uncomfortable in social situations, so are not suited to work in PR, politics or any kind of work requiring them to meet people.

Shape: OWWWO
Means: If you can choose a prestigious working career, you will be very successful. However, you should avoid the tendency to get big-headed and you must never take your career for granted. You should also watch your back, as you tend to attract jealousy into your life and could get betrayed. Always look for long-term benefits.

Shape: OWWOW
Means: You will need to work harder during the early days of your career. When you reach middle and older age, you will get recognition and wealth luck. So your life gets better the older you get.

Shape: OWOWW

Shape: WOWOW
Means: You are not an easy person to control or to convince, as you are something of a rebel. If you can stay focused on what you want from life, you will be successful. The problem is that you can be fickle and vague in what you really want from life.

Holes on Earth

Looking at photos like these scares and fascinates me in equal doses. The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how tiny you are.

Kimberley big hole - South Africa
apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds before being closed in 1914.
the amount of earth removed by workers is estimated to total 22.5 million tons

Glory hole - Monticello dam

a glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir this is the glory hole belonging to Monticello dam in California and it is the largest in the world, its size enabling it to consume 14 400 cubic feet of water every second

Bingham canyon mine

Utah this is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. Extraction began in 1863 and still continues today, the pit increasing in size constantly. In its current state the hole is 3/4 mile deep and 2.5 miles wide.

Great blue hole,Belize

situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize is this incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole. there are numerous blue holes around the world but none as stunning as this one

At surface level the near perfectly circular hole is 1/4 mile wide, the depth in the middle reaching 145 meters. Obviously the hole is a huge hit with divers.

REAL GHOST PICTURES

Ghost picture scares Kerala

Thiruvananthapuram, March 10:

A chilling photograph of a female ghost peering from the window of a decrepit house has people running scared at Thiruvannoor in Kerala’s Kozhikode district.

The photograph is fast spreading across the district through mobile phones and emails, and has already generated many urban legends about the yakshi (as female ghosts are known in Kerala folklore).

Such tales have assumed even more fearsome dimensions since the dilapidated house at Raghavan Menon Road stands forlorn behind a crematorium.

People living nearby are now afraid to travel along the road at night and take a roundabout route to reach their houses. It is said that the ghostly woman stands on the road in front of the house at night wearing a white sari and seeks "lime paste" as is the wont of yakshis who are preparing to drink the victim’s blood.

There are also tales that she tried to lure many people into the house which has been lying unoccupied for about 10 years.

The broken-tiled roof, scrawny walls and cobwebbed interiors of the house have given the right ambience to the tales.

Ironically, the tales have also generated a mini-tourism industry, with many people coming from far away to see the ghost at night. Some brave souls have also taken to playing cards in the house at night to "dare" the ghost.

Tech-savvy geeks in the district have, meanwhile, discovered that the yakshi is also present on the Internet (http://www.missyouso.com/img/ghost001.jpg) and was apparently superimposed intelligently on the photo of the broken-down house by some youngsters who had come on a visit last month.

There are also doubts that real estate agents are adding spice to the stories to bring down the price of the house.

Fancy Cakes

It’s hard to believe that these sculptures are actually cakes. Well, they are cakes and by looking at them a suddenly have a craving for cake right now. The cakes were made by Zhanna Zubova and all the writing is in Russian so I have no idea what is written there. It’s most probably everything we write on cakes - “Happy birthday”, Happy Anniversary” and so on.

RAREST THINGS

Rarest Gems
The world's rarest gem is believed to be painite, a gem that most have never heard of. The painite is orangish or reddish brown and was first discovered in Burma in the '50s. Within the last couple of years, the source of the two original painite crystals was discovered and now a few hundred faceted stones exist. A more well-known (but still very rare) gem is the red diamond

Rarest Sea Salt
The earliest known sea salt produced by the Japanese may be the rarest of all. Called Amabito No Moshio ("Ancient Sea Salt"), unpolluted sea water is collected from the Seto-uchi inland sea, infused with seaweed to develop the "unami", and then processed by cooking in an iron kettle, put into a centrifuge, and finally, cooked over an open fire while stirring constantly. The salt is worth over $40 per pound.

Rarest Baseball Cards
In February 2007, a "near mint-mint" Honus Wagner sold for $2.3 million, at that point probably the highest sale for a baseball ca
