New Year Resolutions for JanuaryNew Year Resolutions for January

Dear Diet Diary

As a Christmas present this year, my daughter, Cresley [what a
thoughtful darling] bought for me a week of personal training at the local health club. Although I am still in reasonable shape since being a high school cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good
idea to go ahead and give it a try.

I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Juan Antonio [ooh what a name] who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor
and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. My daughter seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started. The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.

An American
farmer was on holiday in Wales.  He could not resist exploring the hill farms north of Aberystwyth.  At lunch time he dropped into a pub and fell into easy conversation with a Welsh farmer.

‘How big is your spread?’
, asked the American. ‘Well look you, it’s
about 20 acres he said’
.  Only 20 acres the American responded, back in Texas I can get up at sunrise, saddle my horse and ride
all day, when I return at supper time, I’ll be lucky to cover half my farm’. ‘Dew dew’
, said the Welshman, ‘I once had horse like that, but sent him to the knackers yard.’

Warning – Women’s
Body Parts Move – Funny Yet Clean Story

Open letter from Ms
Peggy Legg

This is an explanation to those friends and family who have experienced mysterious switches of their body parts.  This effect is especially noticeable in January.

You may have read of the scare story about the man whose kidneys were stolen while he was passed out. Well, read on. While
the kidney story was an urban myth, my story is true – it occurs to me practically every day.

My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago.  It was just that quick. I went to sleep in my body and woke
up with someone else’s
thighs.
