DID YOU KNOW...?
 Marilyn Monroe's IQ (168) was higher than Einstein's (160).
GARDEN UPDATE
That horrible humidity has backed way off, so although it is 100F at 11am, it is bearable. Plants are a lot happier, too!

TIME MACHINE ASSISTANT NEEDED

I have a functioning time machine (i know it sounds unbelievable, but I assure you it works) that I need a 2nd person to operate with me. I'm looking for someone who is adventurous and reliable. Preferable a male; or a female that can do heavy lifting.
I am leaving on September 30th, 2010, in the morning and plan to return October 2nd, 2010. I am going to June 1983 to handle some business. If you are serious about time travel and are reliable, then please contact me. You do not have to pay anything, but you would have to provide someone to watch my cat for the time we are gone. The only qualifications needed are that you are reliable and that the circumferance of your head is no more than 64cm. We will be leaving from Bozeman, MT. Let me know if you want to go with me.
FREE: CURRENTLY UNUSED URN
I currently have an empty Urn for free. Had containded my pet dog Dino, but my cat Felix got suspicious, and Dino, well you know, fell. The Urn is still nice enough for another loved pet, or a mother-in-law, or relative of similar likings. Email me for a pickup time and place. Thanks, Josh.
SEEKING BODYGUARD NAMED BETTY
I am a Paul Simon fan in my mid thirties. As my name is Al, for the past 20 years I've been searching for a friend named Betty with whom I could sing the Paul Simon song "You Can Call Me Al." Imagine how much fun we could have singing along with the lyrics and pointing at each other when our names are mentioned! We could sing it together on road trips with the windows down, at home with our stereos cracked loud, we can smile at each other knowingly when it's played in gas stations and grocery stores and text each other when we're apart and it comes on the radio. I'm especially looking forward to acting out our own version of the classic Paul Simon Chevy Chase music video. We can post it on Youtube! Just to be clear, I'm not really looking for a bodyguard (that's a lyric from the song haha!) just a friend named Betty.
If you want we could maybe sing other Paul Simon songs at some point but I'd really rather we stick with our namesakes You Can Call Me Al. Of course I want proof your name is really Betty so when we meet I'll need to see a state issued photo ID with that name. I'll also accept Elizabeth, Roberta or Beatrix. Please write back soon I can't wait to hang out
Sincerely
-Your long lost pal!!!

GARDEN GOODIES~SHARE OUR GARDEN RECIPE #0070 GREEN GODDESS DRESSING
Many of us are old enough to remember Green Goddess Dressing.This recipe was created originally by chef Philip Roemer at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.He came up with the recipe in 1923 for a banquet at the hotel honoring actor George Arliss, the lead in William Archer’s play “The Green Goddess.”  


Green Goddess Dressing:
3 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup sour cream
1 cup plain yogurt
1 bunch freshly chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons freshly minced chives
1 tablespoon freshly minced tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon black cafe pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt 

Mix all in a bowl.Can be stored in your refrigerator for up to 7 days.
If you like your dressing greener, increase the herbs. If you like your dressing leaner, leave out buttermilk and add 1/2 cup yogurt to replace it. And if you like it meaner, up the herbs, the pepper (or use white pepper!), and the garlic! Yield: about 1 1/2 cups
