It was two weeks before Christmas, and Mrs. Smith was very busy. She bought a lot of Christmas cards to send to her friends and to her husband's friends   , and put them on the table in the living-room .Then when her husband came home from work, she said to him, 'Here are Christmas cards for our friends, and here are some stamps, a pen and our book of addresses. Will you please write the cards while I am cooking the dinner?'

Mr. Smith did not say anything, but walked out of the living-room and went to his study. Mrs. Smith was very angry with him, but did not say anything either.

Then a minute later he came back with a box full of Christmas cards. All of them had addresses and stamps on them.

'These are from last year, ' he said. 'I forgot to post them.'

Eggs: Are they good or bad for your cholesterol level?

Eggs: Are they good or bad for your cholesterol level

Q: I'm confused. First, I hear that eggs raise cholesterol. Then, I hear they don't. What's the truth?

Eggs do contain cholesterol. According to the American Heart Association, saturated fat and cholesterol in the foods you eat increase your blood cholesterol level. Although saturated fat is the main culprit, cholesterol also plays a role. Reducing the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in your diet helps lower your blood cholesterol level.

Some research suggests that dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol in some people. But in others, it has a big effect. If you have high blood pressure or a family history of cardiovascular disease, it makes sense to limit eggs in your diet. Talk to your doctor about what's appropriate in your specific situation.

The yolk of the egg has all the cholesterol — about 212 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol. Recommendations are to limit dietary cholesterol to 300 mg a day — 200 mg a day if you have high blood cholesterol. This allows for three to four egg yolks a week. Egg whites and egg substitutes are cholesterol-free and can be used in place of whole eggs. In general, two egg whites are the equivalent of one whole egg in cooking. Check the label on egg substitutes for the equivalent.

داستان کوتاه: They're Made out of Meat

They're Made out of Meat

"They're made out of meat."
    
"Meat?"
    
"Meat. They're made out of meat."
    
"Meat?"
    
"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."
    
"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?"
    
"They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines."
    
"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."
    
"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."
    
"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat."
    
"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat."
    
"Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage."
    
"Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?"
    
"Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside."
    
"Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through."
    
"No brain?"
    
"Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat! That's what I've been trying to tell you."
    
"So ... what does the thinking?"
    
"You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat."
    
"Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!"
    
"Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?"
    
"Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat."
    
"Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years."
    
"Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?"
    
"First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual."

    
"We're supposed to talk to meat."
    
"That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.' That sort of thing."
    
"They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?"
    
"Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat."
    
"I thought you just told me they used radio."
    
"They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."
    
"Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?"
    
"Officially or unofficially?"
    
"Both."
    
"Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing."
    
"I was hoping you would say that."
    
"It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?"
    
"I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?"
    
"Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can't live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact."
    
"So we just pretend there's no one home in the Universe."
    
"That's it."
    
"Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You're sure they won't remember?"
    
"They'll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we're just a dream to them."
    
"A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat's dream."
    
"And we marked the entire sector unoccupied."
    
"Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?"
    
"Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again."
    
"They always come around."
    
"And why not? Imagine how unbearably, how unutterably cold the Universe would be if one were all alone ..."
