Pieces of Eight 1) I heard a promotion on a local radio station for what they call their annual Pre-Labor Pre-Labor Day Pregnant Bikini Contest. I'm not prudish and I thought that cover of Vanity Fair with the extremely pregnant Demi Moore was gorgeous but a bikini contest for women in their third trimester just sounds cheap and tawdry to me. 2) I bought this place in May and have yet to buy a hose and sprinkler for my lawn. I consider it one of God's little blessings. He has continued to make sure my lawn has been watered and flourishing via rain. Praise God! I really can't afford the extra expense of lawn merchandise right now. I am so blessed! 3) Anyone read the story about that study that claims that the infidelity of women on birth control pills can be blamed on the pill itself. According to this study, the pill changes the sense of smell in the women who take the pill, which makes them no longer attracted to the smell of their husband but instead the smell of other men that they would not otherwise be attracted. Sheesh, how about some accountability here! I think you can prove anything in any study if you have the right census group. Don't blame the pill on your infidelity; blame yourself!! Sheesh! 4) I read a story out of Japan where police arrested a 20 year old man who was attacking and robbing people while he was wearing a Winnie the Pooh costume. The man was reportedly upset that people were staring at him and that is why he attacked people. Ummm excuse me, you are wearing a Winnie the Pooh outfit!!! To top it off, he was accompanied by a guy in a mouse outfit and another in a Panther costume. The three reportedly had run out of clean clothes to wear so they put on their costumes instead. D'oh!! 5) Sometimes I talk to myself. I think lots of us do it from time to time. We begin by thinking something in our heads and actually don't realize we are actually verbalizing it. Usually when I talk to myself it's in the form of a single word, like "Sheesh", "Geez" or "Darn it!" However in Arizona, cops were called by neighbors reporting a loud fight to find a man having a fight with himself. He was breaking stuff and alternating between a low voice and then a higher pitched voice as he fought with himself. He was taken in for medical observation. 6)The French Government is cutting their health care budget by no longer paying for thermal baths and spa mud wraps. Sheesh!! Are they currently paying for pedicures and manicures? I might be living in the wrong country!!! 7) There is a school board in a small Texas town outside of Ft Worth that has voted to allow teachers to bring guns to school. For some reason this is really unsettling to me. Of course, they would have to have a gun permit but there are just as many whacked out teachers as there are whacked out students in the world. And how many teachers who are not whacked out previously become so after dealing with whacked out students? Maybe I just hate thinking that the world of public education has come to this.  A new survey suggests that 57 percent of adults believe God can save and heal a loved one even if Doctors claim there is no hope. I guess there is 57 percent of us who have decided not to put God into a box but allow His will be done as we pray and continue to look to Him for hope.Now if we could reach the other 43 percent!! |

"Good Night and Good News." Who needs to watch CNN...Thanks Corrie!  2. Yay, for the sky waterings! Most of my plants are under cover on my large patio so alas, I've still got to go out and water! 3.  Will have to put that on my intake questions for couples. (Ma'am, Do you take birth control? Yes, I'm on the pill. ***turning to him*** Well, Sir, there you have it, that's why she cheated on you...I know it stinks but its true. That will be $80. Thanks for coming.)  )5. When I lived, as caregiver, with a Down Syndrome woman years ago the only way to find out what was going on for her when she was stressed was to listen to her two way conversations at the bathroom door. Learned very valuable stuff...   6. The French also give you a bit of chocolate with every meal...got a nice little piece on the saucer beside the breakfast coffee even! Yup, wrong country! But I've recently started having abit of chocolate with every meal...(google "the healthy chocolate revolution") now all I need is for it to be covered on my medical...mebbe I SHOULD move to France!! 7. Yeah, but you've got your aloe tissue, baby!! 8. All to the glory of God...

Speaking of books... how is yours coming along?

Well dear Sister, Jesus is the best scent of all. But in the Texas heat, it never hurts to dab a little vanilla on each wrist and a bath goes a long way as well. Remember cleanliness is next to Godliness! God bless you Sister!
