Love Letters Dear Jim,
Every time I see you, I try to talk to you, but you dont listen. You always change the subject. Thats the biggest problem we have. You never listen to me when I talk.
Instead, you run away from problems. Please read this letter and think about it. These are some of the problems we have:
1 You dont believe the same things that I do. You dont really believe in anything. All you care about is money. You dont understand what really matters in life.
2 We dont like the same people. I know that you dont like my friends. You dont even remember their names. You think that you are better than they are. You never
want to go anywhere with them. I hate the way you make fun of them. 3 When you enjoy something, you assume that I enjoy it too. We always do what
you like. You dont even know that I hate football. Do you know what my favourite food is?
4 You dont remember things that are important to me. You didnt even know it was my birthday last week. I am waiting for your answer. I hope that you read this letter
carefully. If we cant talk, at least we can write.
Barb

Are You Blue or Pink? Have you ever wondered why the colour blue is used for baby boys and the colour
pink for baby girls? Who chose these colours?
Why were they chosen?
It seems that a long long time ago, people believed that evil spirits visited nurseries to do harm. They also believed that certain colours could act as a protection from these
evil spirits. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

Blue was the most powerful because it was associated with the sky and heaven, where spirits came from. Since mothers didnt want any evil spirits to go near their treasured
baby boys, they dressed baby boys in blue.
Girls were less important, so no particular colour was used for them. Baby girls only got a colour of their own centuries later. The association began from a European
legend that said that baby girls are born out of pink roses.

How about Yoghurt? You may notice that these days supermarkets are flooded with different kinds of
yoghurts in different flavours. Yoghurt helps balance the healthy bacteria in the body, and it is also a good source of calcium. Womens magazines claim that it even has
qualities that improve the skin. When it is applied directly on the skin, it can also heal burns. But yoghurt is not a new fad.
It has been around for thousands and thousands of years, although no one really knows where it originated. Yoghurt is a main food in many cultures that are known
for people who live long lives.
Legend has it that Methuselah, who was famous in the Bible for living over 900 years, ate yoghurt. It is also said that King Solomon, the biblical character known for
his wisdom, also enjoyed it.
Yoghurt is not only made from cows milk. Supposedly, goats milk yoghurt was eaten by the biblical patriarch Abraham. It is also believed that Genghis Kahn, the
great Mongol warrior, ate a lot of yaks milk yoghurt. You dont have to be Ghengis Kahn to eat yoghurt. It can easily be made at home.
This is how: Yoghurt is fermented from milk and from live cultures. To make it, a spoonful of existing yoghurt is put into a cup of milk. The culture in the existing
yoghurt reacts with the milk and in a few days yoghurt is made. Flavours are then added to improve the taste.
