Calling All Agents!
by: Aleister Q. Fleming
I have always wanted to be a secret agent!
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be James Bond.
I mean?..who wouldn?t?
I would love nothing more in life than to sip Martini?s (shaken, not stirred), bed beautiful women (Jane Seymore), and defeat scary bad guys (Jaws) for a living?..not to mention having the best collection of cars and gadgets known to man!!
I travel quite a bit for business (good cover, huh?), and on my last flight home the airline was screening ?Goldfinger?.
It is by far my favorite Bond movie, starring Sean Connery.
Connery is the consummate Bond.
A had a few Martini?s on the flight, and was ready to save the world by the time we arrived in New York.
I realized I had a bit of a buzz as I waited for my luggage.
I was hardly intoxicated, but I was certainly feeling no pain.
Aye??it?s not easy being a secret agent (inner monologue - thick Scottish brogue).
It took a while for my suitcase to arrive on the carousel.
To be honest, I was getting rather dizzy watching it go round and round and round again.
And out of the blue, I saw her standing there.
I swear to you, on everything I hold dear, that it was her.
I couldn?t begin to explain it.
I had just seen her on the screen during the flight, and here she was standing beside me at the airport.
It was Pussy Galore!
I almost dropped my X-Ray specs!!
As Bond-like as possible, I tried to play it cool.
It was imperative that I speak with her.
Think about the mission.
?Good evening, fair lady?, I said (again, thick Scottish brogue).
She smiled and said something I cannot recall.
I honestly don?t know what she said, but I am almost positive that I heard what I did.
?My name is Pussy Galore?, I heard.
Obviously I responded, as coolly as possible, ?I must be dreaming?.
She bent over and picked her suitcase from the carousel, winked at me as she placed her business card in my hand, and strutted away.
I just stood and watched as she wandered off into the crowded airport, only once looking back to smile.
It all happened in slow motion.
Fade to black.
I was shaken awake by the stewardess upon our arrival in New York.
I must have fallen asleep, martini in hand, watching ?Goldfinger?.
What a strange dream!
I looked all around for Ms. Galore as I waited for my luggage.
I picked my Zero Halliburton aluminum suitcase, and hailed a cab.
I?m sure I was being followed.

Identifying A Nickel Allergy
Identifying A Nickel Allergy
by: Grant Segall
While we have all heard of people having a dust mite allergy, dog or cat allergy, peanut allergy, gluten allergy, and so on, very few of us have heard of the people living with a nickel allergy.
Even so, the number of people living with a nickel allergy is actually on the rise, partly due to the ever-increasing popularity with body piercing in which nickel is a common metal.
In fact, experts estimate that people with a nickel allergy has risen by as much as 40% over the past 10 years, specific to piercing.
With a nickel allergy, the symptoms can strike people of all ages and both genders.
While some people will have immediate reaction, most will have a reaction caused by prolonged exposure to the nickel.
If you have a nickel allergy and like piercings, then you might consider using stainless steel, gold, or silver instead.

Fashionable Over 40
by: Sheila Dicks
If we didn?t have enough to think about as we get older ? aging parents, empty nests, new jobs, etc. we also have to deal with changing bodies and how to clothe them.
Don?t despair all is not lost, you can look great after forty and not have to sneak into your daughter?s closet to do it. Many women who are not sure how to deal with thick waists and bulging tummies head straight for the baggy rack and try to conceal their bodies with shapeless clothing. And to make matters worse, they wear their makeup and hair the same way they always have. The key to looking great after forty is to make subtle changes in your clothing, hair and makeup that will equal a facelift and a trainer ? well, maybe not that much difference. Here are some tips that you can put into practice right away.
1. Wear your skirts at the knee with a great pair of shoes to show off one of the most ageless and flattering parts of your...

Enjoying Really Good Cigars
Enjoying Really Good Cigars
by: Jeff Lakie
When you imagine cigars being smoked does the image of seasoned, robust, and wealthy foreign men sitting around with brandy swishing in their snifters come to mind? That is probably not an uncommon image, but it is not accurate for this modern age of cigar connoisseurs.
These days it would not be surprising to find a group of women in a cigar shop. More commonly there will be men. It could be men from every walk of life, every income bracket, and any age all enjoying cigars. And you thought all cigar smokers were alike? No more than all cigars are alike. That idea would actually offend many people in the right circle.
Obviously there are your run-of-the mill cigars. There are also cigars that are costly, aromatic, and have a life all their own. In researching the time and consideration that goes into creating the latter type of elite cigars you might be amazed that the process is quite similar...

No More Oreos? Tell Me It Isn't True!
by: Harriet Silkwood
Another good citizen comes to the aid of the ignorant public. After years of eating Oreo's, and enjoying them tremendously, somebody put on a pound or two. Who's to blame? You know somebody is to blame. It couldn't be the fault of the user. Did she exercise? Did she walk? Did she do her housework? No, she sat in front of her T.V. and ate Oreos.
When she realized she had gotten a little pudgy around...
