Boy, oh, boy! I guess people are more interested in sex, lies, and my last
comment about the girl in the city. I know HBO has a series called, "Sex in the
City," but it's still my party and I'll do what I want to do. So to those who
send the e-mail letters in, wanting advice about men, let me say what they
should understand is what they should look for in a man's character. Anyone who
says, "I love you," whether if it is a boy or a girl, or a man and a woman,
integrity must be there. What do I mean by integrity? By the American Heritage
Dictionary, Second College Edition, it states that integrity means "rigid
adherence to a code or standard of values." Let's put this in another way: We
all know what the Justice system is like in this country. When it is operating
correctly, the laws that need to be followed and what is righteous in executing
a fair and judicial verdict, no matter, if the plaintiff is rich or poor, dark
skin or light skin, religious or atheist, a justice system must adhere to a
rigid adherence to a code or standard of values that has been established since
the foundation of this great republic.
Someone that says he/she loves you, and doesn't show restrained on his/her lust
patterns, or tries to avoid meeting those who love you, like your parents, your
friends, etc., is not one who has integrity and therefore, will lead you (if
you're stupid enough), down a path of emotional roller-coaster rides.
<singing> "She's gotta a ticket to ride.......she's gotta a
ticket to ri-hi-ide...................."

OK guys! Let's get serious. This section is called, "The Results of the Dating
Game."
This is the answer for the girl who works in the city, regarding her date.
When a stranger comes out and ask you for a lunch or dinner date you must know
first who he is. Just because he has given you his cell and job number doesn't
mean he is single. Most married men believe a little "spice in their life," is
necessary to keep their marriage going. This type of man will lie, at first,
telling you he is single, and then on your date will tell you the truth after he
senses you are ready for it, and uses the excuse, that if he didn't lie, you
would not have gone out with him. Isn't he sweet? Once you give your body and
soul to him, you will be hooked. A man of this character will tell you that his
marriage was based on some flaw and that he needs someone to make his life
meaningful. They will beg you to call them again if they like what they got from
you. In your mind you self-justify (which is arrogant) your reasons to continue
with this relationship. You say to yourself, "He was honest. He told me the
truth. He couldn't be bad." Have you ever considered that this same man, has
done this before to other women?
Men like this, will have a flare in talking, and sound sincere. Their so-called
"love" is really lust. You are just the "flavor of the month." If you continue
in this relationship, you will continue in your deception (called
self-deception, another form of arrogance), until you become absorb in your own
fantasy world about this man. This could bring the destruction of your own
character.
Being lonely can have other solutions, but being blind (in lust) leads to pain.
This pain can lead to mental destruction.
So next time, check for the home phone number and verify, verify and verify,
before you go out. Remember, they came looking for you. Don't think, if you pass
this up, you'll be an old maid. Rushing into trouble (even for lust), will bring
guilt, bitterness, jealousy, etc., all the good stuff, for a bad mental
attitude.

Update at the end of the month (on vacation!)
September 1, 2000
Aw shucks! Another month went by! How time seems to travel. Have you all had an
experience that you were suppose to do something or eat something that was good
for you, even though you didn't like it? Like vegetables? How about medicines?
Well, a sweet young lady who lives near Disneyland (we can't blame her for
that!), has sent by "Kris.com" a message to TVOTB that we should check our
spelling. Well, we did! OK...you're right! We screwed up! But there is one thing
I got to say to you. And listen very carefully. Use our TVOTB.com or AOL.com
e-mail service because as you know, "Kris.com" will soon be in your neck of the
woods! TVOTB fans, this is a private joke! :) Only the recipient knows the
answer!
I want all the students who must go to their classes to practice this exercise
the night before classes. Go to either a bathroom, closet, or a roof, etc., to
do this exercise. Are you ready? Here are the following steps:
1) Take a deep breath, especially through the nasal function.
2) Open wide and close your eyes at least six times.
3) Stretch both of your arms out as far as it could go.
4) Bend your knees up and down at least 5 times.
5) Then focus your eyes at any point and take in a deep breath.
6) Then scream out the magic word, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Well, ok! It's still my party and I'll cry if I want to!

OH YES! OH YES! Christal from Canada has answered me with an e-mail! Thank you,
Christal. Christal has sent me... all the way from Canada... a Blueberry
Shortcake recipe!
For your enjoyment, TVOTB fans, heeeere it goes!
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut into tiny pieces
6 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt
1 pint fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup sweetened whipped cream or frozen whipped topping, thawed
Preheat the oven to 425'F. In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, cornmeal,
sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender or two
knives scissor-fashion, cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using a fork, stir in yogurt until a soft dough forms. Lightly knead the dough
for a few seconds.
On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness.
Using a floured 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out four dough rounds, or shortcakes,
on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, rinse and pick over blueberries. In a medium-size bowl, combine the
blueberries with honey, crushing about 1/4 of the berries. Refrigerate the berry
mixture until the shortcakes are ready to serve.
To serve, split the warm shortcakes in half horizontally. Place the bottom
halves on serving plates. Top with half the berries, the top halves of the
shortcakes, a dollop of whipped cream, and the remaining berries. Serve
immediately.

For Christal in Canada, your prize is this:

Hello friends and lovers. To start off, I feel like crying. NOBODY E-MAIL'S
ME!!!!!!!!!!! WAHHHHHH!!!!! But, it's still my party, and I'll cry if I want to!
So I am going to supply a recipe on Spanish Meat Patties (Pastilles.) This
recipe was supplied by Mrs. Acevedo. Here it goes:
4 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
4 Tblsp. shortening
1 egg, beaten
1.25 cup milk or water
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely diced
1 tsp. salt
1 Tblsp. oil
1 tomato
2 Tblsp. tomato sauce
1 1b. Ground beef
Combine flour and salt, cut in shortening. Combine egg with milk and add to
flour mixture. Form a ball. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. To prepare
meat mixture, sautÈ onions, pepper, garlic and salt in oil. Add tomatoes after
other ingredients are browned. Add meat and cook till meat is well done.
Remove from heat.
Divide chilled dough mixture in half. Roll half on floured surface to 0.25 inch
thickness. Using a saucer or another object of that size, cut out with a knife,
one circle at a time. In the center of each circle add 1 Tblsp. of meat mixture.
An olive and cheese strip may also be added, if desired. With a fork and water,
wet the edges of the circle. Then fold in half to form a half-circle. Press
edges of circle with fork to secure. Continue, using all dough. It is better to
work one at a time rather than cutting all at once. Place on floured cookie
sheet. Fry in hot oil till lightly brown. These can be frozen to be cooked at
another time.
Makes 20 patties.
