Hello Gid, Since you do not offer me a chance to comment on your blog, I thought I would here. I figured I had two choices. One, to ignore what you said and the other to speak out on it. I chose the latter.....obviously. You said you expect, as a result of what you wrote, to see a flame blog from me? Based on what? When have I ever flamed anyone? My articles are here for all to see and I've not once resorted to flame throwing. Not once. I ...
IT'S ANOTHER BOY! Yep, just found out for sure! Of course Amanda had to tell me because my son couldn't get the words out......geeeeesh! He's a terrible tease. So, with three boys and two grandsons, I'm still waiting for that girl. For now, the pink and white Nikes are safe with me. Boys are fun! But I'm still waiting for my girl. CONGRATULATIONS TO BRIAN & AMANDA & ETHAN ...
Leave it to my youngest! He's always coming up with something new. His beats are always to a different drummer. I think I taught him too well. He calls and asks if I have his older brother's cap and gown. Is it that time already? Wow! It is. It would have to be black. I don't recall seeing it when we packed so I'm quite sure I don't have it. He pauses. "Well I don't want to spend $97 just to use it one time. It's ...
Now, before you roll your eyes.....KFC and another religious article, keep in mind I haven't blogged on religion since like mid February....... HC sends me devos everyday from Henry Blackaby and once in a while I share them with friends and family. Many times Blackaby gives me pause to meditate on his words and the scripture he shares and I asked myself, "how am I measuring up to what he's showing me here? Where am I?" Anyhow today's was about God testing us...
Bargains and Treasures! Treasures and Bargains. Boy do I like it! When I find a good bargain, I get kind of tingly inside.....hahaha not really but it does put an extra spring in my step. We have this store called Bargains and Treasures here and I'm hooked. It's a consignment shop where they sell mostly furniture but also some little household things like dishes, glassware, artificial trees and flowers and artwork. On one of my first trips I boug...
I recenly wrote about the new Domestic Partnership tax law in California along with a bill Governor Arnold signed into effect recently regarding homosexual teaching in the school system. Did you hear the very latest? Judges in the Californial Court of Appeal system have deemed it unconstitutional for parents to homeschool. Parents have NO legal right to homeschool their children in CA. This is going to put thousands of parents and children up against the Court s...
Today's a good day. I have alot to be thankful for. I have a great husband....the best. I have three great boys that I get to talk with almost everyday. I have a great daughter in law who is a great mom to my grandchild. Of course I also have an adorable grandson who is healthy and very smart. What more could I ask for? I wouldn't dare. I try to find something good in everyday even when the day doesn't seem to go so great. I try not to dwe...
We have alot of Missionaries we support and pray for. One in particular we've never met but had been getting updates on, from our Associate Pastor back home, was from Kabul, Afghanistan. She had been living and working there knowing the language and dressing in the required burqa. The following is his last and very disturbing update on this woman missionary: Dear VCC Family, Although the reports have not been confirmed, we sadly want to inform you that we be...
Many know and recognize Charles Dawin's book, "Origin of Species" written in 1859 that brought the whole Evolutionary Science to the forefront. But how many know the real title of the book? Do you recognize this? On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life , How many know this? This was the original title. How many know that Darwin was not only a Racist but also believed w...
There's now a new tax law for Registered Domestic Partners (RDP). It reads: Effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1,2007, RDPs under CA law must file their California income tax returns using either the married/RDP filing jointly or married/RDP filing separately filing status. RDPs will have the same legal benefits, protections, and responsibilities as married couples unless otherwise specified. For purposes of California income tax, references to a spous...
I went to a very interesting Answers in Genesis Conference. This is one I would recommend to everyone regardless of belief. Carl Kerby was the speaker for AIG and he was terrific. He's not a Scientist but is someone very dedicated to the subject matter, on the board at AIG and has been studying this for years. He goes all over the world giving these talks and is very frank, approachable and struck me as one who really is down to earth in every which way . ...
Has anybody else noticed the shrinking groceries? Many products seem to be getting smaller and smaller but the price seems to either stay the same or go up. I've noticed this little by little. The other day when I went grocery shopping it was really noticeable. I first noticed this when I went to reach for a jar of Hellman's mayo. When I picked up the jar it felt smaller to me than normal so I looked down to see the weight of it. It read 30 oz instead of the anticipated 32 oz. When did thi...
"I'm moving to Canada." I heard this when I picked up the phone. "Grammy?" "Did you hear me? I'm moving to Canada." "Now what?" I said. "OBAMA" she said in a high loud whiney voice. "OBAMA, OBAMA. Who in the world is OBAMA? Why is everyone chanting his name like this? Where did he come from?" I immediately knew what was going on. My grandmother is a die-hard old Democrat. She absolutely loves Hillary with a passion. She has ...
Got this from a friend and laughed. I guess you give then an inch (even if it's hair) and they will take whatever they can get. One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a 'thank you' card and a ...
