T’was the month after Christmas...
T’was the month after Christmas, and
all through the house,
nothing would fit me, not even a
blouse;
The cookies I’d nibbled, the eggnog I
had to taste,
at the holiday parties had gone to my
waist;
I won’t have a cookie--not even a
lick.
I’ll want only to chew on a long
celery stick.
I won’t have hot biscuits, or corn
bread, or pie,
I’ll munch on a carrot and quietly
cry.
When I got on the scales there arose
such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a
walk than a lumber),
I’d remember the marvelous meals I’d
prepared,
The gravies and sauces and beef
nicely rared;
I’m hungry, I’m lonesome, and life
is a bore,
But isn’t that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a
good diet!
The wine and the rum balls; the bread
and the cheese,
and the way I’d never said, “No thank
you, please.”
As I dressed myself in my husband’s
old shirt,
and prepared once again to do battle
with dirt,
I said to myself, as only I can,
“You can’t spend a winter disguised
as a man!”
So, away with the last of the sour
cream dip.
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker
and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must
be banished,
‘til all the additional ounces have vanished.

Things That
Make You Go
“Hmmmmm......”
• If you throw a cat out a car
window, does it become kitty litter?
• If you choke a Smurf, what
color does it turn?
• What do chickens think we
taste like?
• What do you call a male ladybug?
• What hair color do they put
on the driver’s license of a
bald man?
• When dog food is new and
improved tasting, who tests
it?
• When they first invented the
clock, how did they know
what time it was to set it to?
• Which is the other side of the
street?
• Why didn’t Noah swat those
two mosquitoes?
• Why doesn’t glue stick to the
inside of the bottle?
• Why don’t they call mustaches “mouthbrows?”

Toasting To a New Year
Toasts have existed for almost as long as drinking itself. To help you bring in the New Year properly, here
are some great Irish toasts.
• In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship but never in want.
• May you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you’re dead.
• May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings, slow to make enemies, quick to make friends. But rich
or poor, quick or slow, may you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.
• May the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends gathered below never fall out.
• Here’s to you and yours and to mine and ours, and if mine and ours ever come across you and yours, I
hope you and yours will do as much for mine and ours as mine and ours have done for you and yours.
• May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the
way to your door.
• May the Lord keep you in his hand and never close his fist too tight on you.

Dealing with the Flu
It’s that time
of year again!
Flu season is
here. Each year
as many as 30
million people
contract the flu
in the United States, leading to 20,000
deaths a year. At most risk are the elderly, those with chronic disease like
diabetes, asthma, or heart disease, and
infants.
The flu is like a cold in many ways. Both
are respiratory infections, but the symptoms can vary. A fever, general aches
and pains, and fatigue usually accompany the flu. You may also experience
a sore throat, coughing or sneezing. If
a cold is misdiagnosed as the flu, there
is usually no problem. But the flu misdiagnosed as a cold can possibly lead
to serious complications like pneumonia being overlooked. If you have any
symptoms of the flu, you should contact
your doctor as soon as possible.
There is no cure for the flu, but there
are things you can do to make yourself
more comfortable during the duration.
The best course of action in dealing with
the flu is to get plenty of rest and drink
lots of fluids. Fever can be treated with
acetaminophen. Be sure to talk to your
doctor to get advice about using a decongestant/antihistamine to treat nasal
congestion. Antibiotics have no effect
on the flu because it is caused by a virus.
And what about chicken soup? Well,
it can’t hurt! Although it doesn’t cure
anything, it can soothe a sore throat,
clear clogged passageways, and hydrate you. It is good TLC at a difficult
time.
If you do find that you are suffering
from the flu, consider getting the flu
shot next year. These are generally
given in the fall, and must be received
each year, as the strains of flu vary
from year to year. In the meantime, remember that time and rest are the best
cures of all for flu sufferers.
Here’s something to
SMILE about!
