"Nothing Tastes Better Than Feeling Good About Myself!"

No Treats

I don't care who you are; THIS is FUNNY!

Survivor South Pacific - Season 23

John Cochran - not everyone on the Internet hates you!  Considering you were probably the next to go, I think you stayed in the game longer because of the bold move you made.  I probably would have done the same thing had I been in your situation.

Honestly, I might just be in the minority, but I wanted Coach or Ozzy to win. Ozzy deserving the win by outplaying and Coach deserving the win by strategically outwitting/outlasting.  What we see as TV viewers is, of course, much different than what actually happens on 'set'.

Cute Christmas Joke

I received this in my email and wanted to share:

 
A man in Phoenix calls his son in Annapolis two days before Christmas

and says, “I hate to ruin your day, son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing.  37 years of misery is enough!”

“Pop, what are you talking about?” the son screams.

“We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,” says the father.  “We're sick of each other and I'm tired of talking about this, so
call your sister in Roanoke and tell her.”

Frantic, the son calls his sister who explodes on the phone.

“Like heck they're getting divorced,” she shouts, “I'll take care of
this!”

She immediately calls Phoenix and screams at her father, “You are
NOT getting D-i-v-o-r-c-e-d!  Don't do a single thing until I get there.

I'm calling brother back and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing!  DO YOU HEAR ME?’ and she hangs up.

The dad hangs up his phone, turns to his wife, smiles :-) and says,
“They're coming for Christmas. . . AND they are paying their own way.”

'Tis the Season!

Are you as bothered when you see Facebook posts, random emails, etc. promoting, "Say Merry Christmas," as if it is a crime to be tolerant of others' religions by saying, "Season's Greetings". As a Christian, it bothers me. Being Christian is, in itself, a good reason to be tolerant of other religions.

Sure, I say, "Merry Christmas," because that is what I am celebrating. Do I send a religious, Christian Christmas card to my aunt or friend who is Jewish? No! I carefully choose a card that does not contain a bible verse relating to Christ's birth; I choose a 'seasonal' card.

Would I be offended if someone wished me a Happy Chanukah? Most definitely not. But if they did, I would reply with, "Happy Chanukah to you and a Merry Christmas!"

The controversy surrounding 'Merry Christmas' will surely go on after I am gone, but maybe people will become more tolerant of others' religions in the years to come. That is what I want for Christmas this year!

Merry Christmas! Happy Chanukah! Happy Kwanzaa! I'm sure I've missed other celebrations that take place in December - my apologies to those who celebrate them! (And please feel free to add any I've missed in the 'comment' area.)

Have You Seen Food Matters or Food, Inc.?

Food Matters and Food, Inc. are two of the most powerful movies about food that I have seen. Food Matters is a documentary about using food as medicine rather than pharmaceuticals. As Hippocrites, the father of medicine, said, "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food." This documentary will change your view of pharmaceuticals and popping pills. As they said, "A pill for every ill." I found the statistics of pharmaceuticals versus vitamins very interesting.

Food, Inc., another documentary, is a film about how our food is grown and how the small, country-side farms have been replaced with Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). I had heard about these but had never actually seen one. The one question I had after watching was, "And people think how we get veal is cruel?" If you don't want to change any of your eating habits, you might not want to watch this one. After watching this, I plan to completely change my eating habits and start supporting local farmers.

I only wish I had seen these many, many years ago. How different and healthier would I be now? If you have the chance, these films just might change your life and the life of your family.

Do you hear a 'buzzing' noise?

If you don't like bees, please do not watch this video. It reminds me of a nest I once had in my house, although mine was not of the honey-comb variety; it was a yellow jacket nest. When the windows were closed in the fall, I heard a buzzing noise, like leaves rustling. My exterminator said: 1. I had hundreds of yellow jackets in a nest above my bedroom. 2. Yellow jackets are mean and sting for no reason. 3. If they had made it into the house they most probably would have killed us. YIKES!!!!
