============================================1. Aromatherapy Gift to the White House============================================
Gift giving is popular between world leaders and foreigndignitaries. The US State Department has an inventory of officialgifts that are published yearly. All gifts are accepted (toprevent embarrassment to the donor), but not all are used.
The 2004 Gift Inventory was published this month. US DefenseSecretary Donald Rumsfeld was given an aromatherapy gift set fromthe Jordanians. Surprisingly, he did not use it. Instead it waspassed on to the General Services Administration. One of themany functions of this administration is to dispose of unwantedpresents.
Some of the other gifts, their recipients and donors, were:
President Bush got:
--Assorted daggers and a machete from Gabon,
--A braided whip from the Hungarian prime minister.
--The "Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook", from the Sultan ofBrunei
Vice-President Cheney got:
--A "Happy Day" clock from the Swiss president,
--Gold silk pillows, scented candles and a potteryincense burner from the Jordanians
=================================================2."Beet" Wrinkles with Mariah Carey - Eat Purple=================================================
Eating purple. This is Mariah Carey's new diet.
Mariah's nutritionist told her to eat purple foods because theyare high in anti-oxidants. Foods high in antioxidants help toprevent wrinkles and slow the aging process.
Mariah eats three meals of purple vegetarian food a day. Purplefoods prevent tissue breakdown and provide some of nature's bestdefenses against aging skin.
Beets, purple grapes, and purple cabbage are three of the morepopular purple foods. Foods close to purple in color havesimilar benefits.

=========================================5. HSL's Joke, or Cute Quote, of the Week=========================================
A Long Hot Bath
Feeling edgy, a Home Spa-er took a hot bath.
Just as she became comfortable, the doorbell rang. She got out ofthe tub, put on her slippers and robe and went to the door.
A salesman was at the door. She didn't want to buy his cheapproducts. Slamming the door, she returned to the bath.
The doorbell rang again. On went the slippers and robe, and shestarted for the door again. She took one step, slipped on awet spot, fell backward, and hit her back against the hardporcelain bathtub.
She struggled into her street clothes and drove to the doctor.
After examining her, the doctor said, "You know, you've beenlucky. Nothing is broken. But you need to relax... Why don't yougo home and take a long hot bath?"
