There was this duck floating on the hippo pond. She had flown a very
long way and had gotten separated from the others of her flock in a
huge storm. She had heard the quack, quack of the others but because
the wind was swirling so fast, it seemed to be coming from all
directions at once. So she had kept flying as best she could and when
the storm cleared, there she was… alone in a great big empty sky.
Totally exhausted, and totally confused, she headed down to a small
lake to rest a while and gather whatever was left of her thoughts. And
there, floating, floating and not knowing what to do next, she fell
asleep. When suddenly, our friend the hippo, having finished his nap at
the bottom of the lake, as he was wont to do, rose up to the top and
stuck his head out to have a look around. And he had come up right
under our duck. Well, the sight of a duck sitting on top of hippo's
head was just too funny for words for all the other animals. It may not
be that funny to you or me but to the plains animals, it was the
funniest thing they had ever seen, and everyone was laughing.
The duck, hearing all the ruckus, woke up Click here to continue

This takes a lot of ingenuity. Do not try it unless you have the training or are very creative.
How To Blend In
Do not make eye contact with anyone.
Do not do anything normally considered obnoxious unless you
are in a setting where everyone else is doing it - like a frat house.
Dress like everyone else in whatever setting you intend to
find yourself unless you are the only member of your sex in the room,
or you are grown up and they are not.
Do not effectively understand what is going on around you.
Concentration and understanding tend to attract. Float as much as you
can. A blank mind attracts little attention...

Original Exercises On Your Back here
Follow-up Introduction The important thing to remember in
doing these exercises, is that they are not building you for
competitive status. They are to simply keep you in shape for doing
those things which you normally do, or to give you an edge when you
suddenly need a set of muscles which you do not normally use. The
exercises are there basically for upkeep, maintenance, and the
provision of emergency capabilities. They may even make you younger for
longer but there is no proof of this. However, if you feel you can do
those things which are natural for a younger set, then your attitude
about yourself will change and may actually keep you younger longer.
Timing During the exercises, take your time. Some of the
exercises will go faster than others. There are sometimes longer waits
in between some exercises before starting the next. The whole session
may take longer than usual. Again, feel your body's potential at this
particular time and flow with it. Never set yourself ...

B&B for DDD This is drop dead delicious. It's one of the
things you will not do because of it. Brussels, broccoli, onion with
rich mushroom soup sauce. Onions boiled together with the B&B and
then separated out, using a strainer and fried while mixing in turmeric
and coriander. Instant mushroom soup sauce is a mixture of butter, milk
and mushroom soup powder. Look up broccoli and while you are at it,
brussel sprouts and onions World's Healthiest Food to see just how healthy this dish and its companion dish on tsingle blog is for you. The rich paste mushroom soup adds to the benefits.

Lasagna Soup I don't care if you were a
tiger-in-your-last-life meat-eater, this one you have to try. Create
your own title for it. Involves the noodles you use for lasagna,
burgers (you know, the vegetarian ones), crushed stewed tomatoes from a
can (when it comes to eating, I am not a purist), garlic powder, chili
sauce (not much), sweet paprika, hot paprika (put this in only after it
is all done and you have tasted it. And even then, be careful) If you
have ignored this warning, be sure to have a glob of humus in the
middle as a safety precaution (don't mix it in), crushed black pepper,
oriental cumin, oregano. All boiled together until the pasta is ready.
You will thank me for this.
