The Sex Fairy

This is hilarious! Be sure to read the warning at the bottom. I didn't change a word!! I'm not messing with the Sex Fairy!

1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth. (So much for Oil of Olay....I'll have some of THAT please) =============

2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow. (Think of all the money I can save!) =============

3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner. (What a way to burn calories. I'll sign up for that) =============

4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don't need special sneakers! (Safety first!) =============

5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being. (Better than Wellbutrin and less expensive) =============

6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy! (So much for Ralph Lauren) ===========!

7 . Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM. =============

8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up. =============

9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain. (Better than Advil) =============

10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever. =============

This message has been sent to you for good luck in sex. The original is in a room in the basement of the Dwight House Pub. It has been sent around the world nine times. Now sex has been sent to you. The "Hot Sex Fairy" will visit you within four days of receiving this message, provided you, in turn, send it on.

If you don't, then you will never receive good sex again for the rest of your life. You will eventually become celibate, and your genitals will rot.

This is no joke! Send copies to people you think need sex (who doesn't?). Don't send money, as the fate of your genitals has no price.

Do not keep this message. This message must leave your e-mail in .5 hours. Please send ten copies and see what happens in four days.

**My daughter sent me this yesterday....humm......I guess she thinks I need sex and is concerned about the fate of my genitals. Oh well....we all have to worry about something I guess.

So, not willing to take any chances, right away I forwarded copies of this email. And now the count down to a visit from the "Hot Sex Fairy" has begun.....only 3 more days. I'll let ya'll know how things turn out....

Later Ya'll....^Belle^

**WHAT'S UP WITH AN AD FOR A JEFF GORDON CROCK POT AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG.....

BELL BUCKLE,TENNESSEE

Sometimes you  read about a place and just know that you want to go there. A writer at our local paper has been sending reports back from his visit to Bell Buckle,Tennessee. I WANNA GO!

It sounds so charming, quaint and Mayberry like. Not to mention the antiques stores.

BEECH GROVE CONFEDERATE CEMETERY

 

At the entrance of the Beech Grove Confederate Cemetery you will find this Pledge To The South. It was written by Edward Ward Warmack (1858-1908). He was a one-term senator from Tennessee and also the editor and publisher of several Nashville newspapers. He was shot and killed on a Nashville street for something he had written.

PLEDGE TO THE SOUTH

The South is a land that has known sorrows:

it is a land that has broken the ashen crust with tears;

a land scarred and riven by the plowshare of war and billowed with the graves of her dead;

a land of legend,a land of song,a land of hallowed and heroic memories;

To that land every drop of my blood,every fiber of my being, every pulsation of my heart ,is consecrated forever.

I was born of her womb;

I was nurtured at her breast:

and when my last hour shall come,I pray God that I may be pillowed upon her bosom and rocked to sleep within her tender and encircling arms.-Edward Ward Warmack

 

MY SOUTH

The South that I remember is not one filled with hate. Even though there is no doubt that there was a hate filled south. A South of burning crosses and hate mongers covered in sheets. A south that bombed a church in Birmingham,Alabama and MURDERED 4 precious little girls during Sunday School.

A south where there were water fountains, seating,and doors marked:White or Colored.A south that bombed the home of Martin Luther King,Jr;

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of it's creed:"We hold these truths to be self-evident:that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi,a state sweltering with the heat of injustice,sweltering with the heat of oppression,will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a ntaion where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama,with it's vicious racists,with it's governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification:one day right there in Alabama,little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today."-Martin Luther King,Jr- August 28,1963-Washington,D.C.

RANTS AND RAVES

Nascar fans and Southerners in general hate a tattletale! You remember tattletales don't you? They were always the ones to utter these famous words,"Oh......I'm gonna tell....." And tell they did. Maybe you grew up with a tattletell....I know I did! In fact I do believe my baby brother's first words were, "I'm gonna tell" or, "She did it", Me, being the" She " in question. But in all fairness, I usually did do it.

"The thing I don't understand is that NASCAR has been talking about bump drafting for I don't know how many times  we've come here and Daytona. They said it in the drivers meeting, and they weren't doing a thing about it out there." -Jeff Gordon.

Jeffy played the "I'm gonna tell on you" card DURING the race Sunday to report Dale Jr for bump drafting. Of course everyone knows that little Jeffy doesn't ever bump draft. Junior had the following to say:

"I pushed Jeff Gordon into the lead five times. Every time I do that, he complains that I'm bump drafting him in the corners and 'blah,blah,blah'. So, I'm just not going to push him anymore. That's why he doesn't have friends out there. I was trying to be his only friend-besides his teammates who are kind of paid to draft with him."

Junior went on to say the bump drafting wasn't that bad adding:

"My mom could drive these cars, but I guess it makes Jeff Gordon a little nervous."

 

Was having a discussion with Brother T about Jeff Gordon earlier (he thinks Jeffy is cute.....UGH......) So, I composed a list.

The Top Ten Reasons We Hate Jeff Gordon

Well T...here is a list of all the things Nascar Fans hate about Jeffy Gordon: 10: He pronounces whole words...".ing " and ever'thang. And there just ain't room for that kind of stuff in Nascar. 9: He is from California.(Just a West Coast Yankee). Nascar was BORN and raised in the South. 8: Nascar drivers are supposed to be rugged and drink beer. Jeffy looks like a wine cooler sipper to us. (Psst...I like wine coolers, but I ain't driving a race car). 7: He talks through his nose (If I had to listen to him talk all day long, I would lose my mind) . 6:He WHINES. 5:He is a TATTLETALE. 4:He says, "TallaDAYga". Okay, so does Dale Jr...but at least Dale does it with a Southern accent. 3:I suspect he gets manicures and pedicures.Nascar drivers need dirt under their fingernails. 2:He NEVER admits when he is wrong. Always someone elses fault. (He needs to be a home sucking on a sugar tit). And the number 1 reason Nascar fans HATE Jeffy (Whinebox-Tattletale) Gordon is......drum roll please..... 1: Because his last name ain't Earnhardt...and because we friggin' want to!!!!! Hope that cleared it up for you.....! Love ya..... Okay, race talk is all over. Tune in this week for a very special report from Bubba and Nub as they present a special investigative report on the "Up The Ass Fairy". You don't want to miss it. QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What do you think it means if the person you are in love with and have a relationship (a very long relationship) with, thinks your eyes are brown, when they are not and have never been brown. I won't mention any names, (THE YANKEE)....So, what do ya'll think that means......? I don't know who he has been looking at with brown eyes, but it ain't me....! Later Ya'll...^Belle^
PS.In response to T's latest post, here is a REAL NASCAR DREAMBOAT.....

WANTED-DEAD OR ALIVE

You are now looking at the MOST hated man among Dale Earnhardt Jr fans! In a split second yesterday at Talladega on the final lap with Victory Lane in site for the red Budweiser # 8, this IDIOT (e-dee-ot) did the unthinkable!

Without a doubt Talladega is Earnhardt Country. Cheers from the crowd when Earnhardt takes the lead attest to that. Boo's and hisses abound when Jeff (whinebox) Gordon or the equally whine prone Jimmy Johnson are in front.

The only time Gordon is being cheered on is when he is driving his car off the track after an accident.

Good thing I'm writing this because I can hardly speak. It was so exciting....the final lap.....Junior is in the lead....and then BAM!

At first it appeared that Johnson has caused the crash. My ears are still ringing! There was a chorus of  "M.F..er"...."SOB"...and that was only the beginning. With Earnhardt and Johnson crashing and rolling around like pinballs, Vickers takes the checkered flag with a thunderous "BOO......" arising from the stands, followed shortly by  repeated chants of, "Bull S--T!"

The general consensus in the section I was seated in filled mainly with law enforcement personal and their families was, "Somebody better get that boy outta here fast! And under heavily armed guard!"

The word was put  on the street to be on the look out for his RV and the rest of his entourage once it hit I-20.

All in all it was a pretty good weekend. Alabama won, Auburn lost. Even though the New York Yankee's choked up big time and got knocked out of the playoffs (I know BC is loving that!), I could hang with that. The weekend would be perfect if Dale Jr won. But, you know what they say about if's and but's......If..."if's" and "but's" were candy and nuts, Oh what a Christmas it would be!

My hearing may never be the same. Why didn't someone tell me to bring ear plugs? Even a couple of bullets would have helped. It was so funny to see these cops sitting with bullets in their ears.

Not only did I forget ear plugs, but I also forgot something equally as important: I don't like crowds. And believe me, this was a crowd! Nothing at all compared to the crowd at an Alabama football game.

I was trying to think of a song that might capture the feelings of thousands of Dale Jr fans about Vickers and his "win".....The main one that keeps running through my mind is,:

"Dirty Ol' Egg Sucking Dog".( Yes it is a real song)-"Egg-sucking dog, I'm gonna stomp your head in the ground. If you don't saty out of my hen house,You dirty old egg sucking hound."

I'll have more on the race later, but for now...^Belle^ is rung out!

 

Later Ya'll....^Belle^
