I love listening to my “elders” speak about the past and pass down their wisdom. It is one of the things I miss most about my grandmothers. Both of them lived through the Great Depression, and both of them were young wives and mothers during part of it.
While wandering around Yahoo, I came across a [...]

Weighin’ In
I’m up three pounds this week (from the last weigh in). I’m kind of not gonna stress it, to be quite honest. I need spring to get here, since spring and summer seem to be my best times to lose weight. Fine with me, as long as I lose it.
Hope you all had a great [...]

Here she comes, Miss Forgery….
The scholarships in beauty pageants must not be very lucrative.
See, here in NJ, we do things a little different, a little edgier. Actually, we like our public figures, no matter how big or small in “publicness,” to be corrupt. They need to be thieves, liars, scammers, trashy, and vile.
It should come as no surprise, then, [...]

Headlines!!!!!!
1. WASTE: $273M Satellite to Study Global-Warming Gases Lost…crashes near Antarctica
HA! Okay, it is a huge loss of money, but the fact that a global warming satellite crashed near Antarctica cracks me up almost as much as the cold weather that seems to appear wherever Gore goes.
2. Police: Dad stabs son over hat in [...]

Whatever I want Wednesday
Last week, ELO’s bass player, Kelly Groucutt died. So, in honor of his role in contributing to a very unique form of rock music, I’d like to play my favorite ELO song.
ELO–”Do Ya”

Speed bump?
In my post about a sneaky skunk, Snigs asked that I not address the smelly rodent, today. You see, she ended up hitting one. So, instead of risking any bad juju, I’ve decided to post this for Snigs. Mmmmmmmmmm….cake!
Chocolate fudge cake with chocolate mocha butter frosting….from Country Girl Recipes…fitting, no?
Hope today is better for you, [...]

The case of the sneaky skunk
When you think of libraries, you think of kids looking for their favorite books for mom or dad to read to them. You think of people quietly going about their business. However, this past week, folks could not go to their cozy book nook. (Eh, it’s late.)
Bookworms are always welcome at a central Pennsylvania library, [...]

Sunday Song
Psalm 56:8
You have taken account of my wanderings; put my tears in Your bottle, are they not in your book?
2 Timothy 2:13,19
If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names [...]

Upholding truth, justice, and the American way…kind of
Snigs has a really, really fun “make-yer-own-superhero” site for us to visit. Go to her site and have at it. Here’s mine. Cool, no?
Okay, so I had to go make myself a hunk. Hey, a girl can dream. See…he has the cross…that’s important.

Learning when it is not expected
I was watching Charles Stanley tonight and he said something I’ve never thought about: no two sunsets and sunrises are alike. Their beauty is different every day.
He went on to talk about a stop on a trip he took with some friends. There was a beautiful sunrise and one gentleman wanted his picture taken, because [...]

No weigh-in, today….some other stuff instead
Calling to cancel a service…
Outsourced person named “Kathy”: (Well, I couldn’t understand her that well, but I assume she was asking what she could do for me.)
Me: Yes, I’d like to cancel my service.
“Kathy”: Okay (that’s what it sounded like). Blah, blah, blah (in a really high-pitched, rapid voice). Then when she’s done saying that [...]

Elvis is alive and he’s in Missouri!
Some guy lost his cable AND couldn’t get the new converter box to work. So he shot his t.v.
My only thought is that given our world’s ills and the craptastic state of our country, I think not being able to see the t.v. might be a good thing.

In case you are wondering…
I’m on Facebook, totally searching for a guy I had a crush on in Bible college. It’s not my fault, really. Well, okay, I could exercise some self-control; however, a friend from Bible college has stoked the curiosity in me a little too much. Well, yeah, it doesn’t take much.
