Life is full of joy, sorrow, beauty, heartbreak and happiness and it is for this reason that I've created this Site.

Life in Verse When life throws you a curve ball and you just want to crawl back into bed and pull the covers over your head When one and one does not add up to two or you step out the door and get mud on your smart shoe When all your plans go awry and you feel blue This is just the place for you. Jokes and Fun My Poetry Heaven's Gates Bill Gates went up to heaven and was met by St. John at the Pearly Gates. Seeing how Bill Gates was so important, St. John gave him the option to go to Heaven or to Hell. Bill Gates asked, "What are they like?" So St. John shows him Heaven, which is very nice with green fields, sparkling lakes and luxurious houses. Only you can't drink any alcohol. Bill is not too happy with this situation and asks St. John to show him Hell. So St. John shows him Hell, which is exactly the same except you can drink as much alcohol as you please. After seeing this Bill Gates says, "I'll go to Hell then." About a month later St. John pops into Hell to see how Bill is getting on, just to find hime working in the furnaces sweating and wishing he could drink anything but alcohol. Bill upon seeing St. John curses and says "Hell is nothing like what you showed me!" St. John replies, "Well that was only the Demo Version, you know." Reflections on Life See the early morning dew on the grass the sun's rays make them shimmer like glass, See the spider's web carefully spun like silver threads when caught by the sun. Hear the birds with their early morning song so catchy you just want to sing along, Hear the gentle early morning breeze as it softly whispers through the trees. Watch the world start to rise as the sun carves its path through the skies, Watch the bees flit from bloom to bloom collecting pollen till there's no more room. Smell freshly brewed coffee whafting through the air moments like these are truly rare, Watch the face of the child as he slowly awakes with a smile this is life, this is all it takes to make it worthwhile. � Maria Pillemer You Gossip The Art of Crying God's Covenant Recipes Imagine That Orange Custard Fridge Cake Serves 10-12 Ingredients 1 Packet orange jelly 450ml (2 cups) boiling water 60ml (4Tbsp.) custard powder 30ml (2Tbsp.) cornflour 500ml (2 cups) milk 125g (� cup) margarine (room temperature) 250ml (1 cup) castor sugar 5ml (1 tsp.) orange essence 3 Packets tennis biscuits 125ml (� cup) Moir's creamo whipped (cream substitute) Method Dissolve jelly in boiling water and allow to cool until medium set.
