A haircut, or the car!
A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son: 'You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible, and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car.' The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it. After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been…

Older woman’s take on “that green thing”. | Eco-Friendly back in the day!
In the line at the store, the cashier told an older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized to him and explained, "We didn't have the green thing back in my day." The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment." He was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day. Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be…
Simple Dark Chocolate Hard Shell Topper for Ice Cream Recipe
This is SO simple! Basically, it's Homemade "Magic Shell". 1/2 cup Coconut Oil 1 1/2 cup of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips You can add whatever additional flavoring you'd like. Almond extract, cinnamon, ginger, more coconut, etc. Mix them over a double boiler on low heat (or just in the pot, but make sure not to burn or scorch it!). Once the mixture hits the ice cream, the coconut oil will cause it to harden, making your very own, homemade "Magic Shell". I use Tropical Traditions Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.
