Jan's "World Famous" Clam Dip
1- 8oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1- 5 or 6 ounce can Minced clams
1 small onion, chopped coarse
1 T Worcestershire sauce
Drain clams
Moisten cream cheese as you mix with clam juice, adding a little at a time, not all at once as the mixture will get too soupy. Mixture should be fairly thick. Add clams, onions, Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Serve with potato chips.
My own version of the above, because I am too sensitive to cut up onions, so I omit them. I add sour cream to mine, because I didn't realize I had this recipe, so I always thought sour cream was part of it! Oops. Onions are pretty good in it, but somebody else has to do the chopping, if they want them.

Pet Peeves while Driving
Since I am one step from having road rage, I thought I would start posting my "driving" pet peeves here.
GO THE DAMN SPEED LIMIT!!!! I don't expect anyone to go over the speed limit, but go the speed limit. It isn't that hard to do. And if you are so slow, stay in the RIGHT LANE!!! And I don't care if you are going the speed limit, you do not belong in the left lane on a highway. You are a danger to everyone. So get off your "I am going the speed-limit-high-horse" and move over!
We all make this error, but seriously, this will help, USE YOUR BLINKER IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHANGE LANES!!!! THEN LOOK AND SEE IF SOMEONE IS IN THAT LANE, BEFORE CHANGING LANES!!!!! Also, try to look over your shoulder, don't just rely on your side-view mirrors.
QUIT BACKING UP IN A PARKING SPACE!!!!! Are you looking for a quick get out? Worried you may have to make a run for it? It is a lot harder to back in than out. So why make everyone wait while you back into that spot, before we can go find a spot. And if you still insist, would you park in the middle of the spot!
THE BLINKER IS TO WARN THOSE AROUND YOU, ESPECIALLY THOSE BEHIND YOU, THAT YOU PLAN TO PUT ON YOUR BRAKE AND SLOW DOWN, SO WE DON'T RAM YOUR A$$. It is not the other way around, like so many people seem to think.
Ok, I know there is no law about this one, but since too many people can't figure this one out, or too self-centered to follow this rule, let me help you out: IF YOU ARE TURNING RIGHT AT A LIGHT AND THERE IS A YIELD SIGN, YIELD TO THE PERSON TURNING LEFT.
And this one really pisses me off. Those who decide to take their sweet ole' time going through a light, practically at a stand still, then the light turns yellow as you approach, and since they were too slow, you can't make it.

Why Men Are Never Depressed
From an e-mail:
Men are just happier people--What do you expect from such simple creatures?
Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom, because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pair of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everthing on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes--one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier.
