GOING TO CARDIOLOGIST TOMORROW. STILL HAVING MAJOR SYMPTOMS WITH THE OLE TICKER. IRREGULAR BEATS, PAIN, SHORTNESS OF BREATH. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF BEING...........

FROM NOW ON THIS WILL BE A WELL BLOG! BUT I DO DESIRE YOUR PRAYERS & THOUGHTS!

I'M WORKING ON A SMALL LITTLE ITTY BITTY PICTURE STORY SO STAY TUNED.


TO GET A HEAD START I'D LIKE TO PUT UP A STATEMENT THAT I REALLY LIKE AND WILL HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF OF- LOL---YES........MORE POND AND CREATURE PICS FOR THE STORY!

THE STATEMENT

"GOD IS IN THE DETAILS"

I'D LIKE YOU TO BE THINKING ON THIS, AND SEEING WHAT HAPPENS THIS WEEK WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN AND LOOK AT SOMETHING......ANYTHING, CLOSELY.

THAT'S YOUR ASSIGNMENT- AND PASS IT ON TO OTHERS SO THEY CAN ENJOY--THEY DON'T HAVE TO LINK BACK OE ANYTHING, JUST MENTION IT TO THEM IF YOU WILL.

1. PICK ONE (1) THING THIS WEEK, AND THEN STOP!!!!!!! LOOK AT IT, RE-READ IT, TOUCH IT, REALLY STUDY IT: WHATEVER IT TAKES, BUT LOOK AT IT FROM EVERY ANGLE, THINK ABOUT IT FROM DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW (LIKE, HOW WOULD SOMEONE ELSE FEEL, LOOK, EXAMINE, THINK ABOUT THIS ETC.)

TAKE THIS ONE THING: AND STUDY IT IN DETAIL. REALLY TAKE SOME TIME TO DO THIS TO WHATEVER IT IS, AND THEN ADMIRE, JOT DOWN ANY AH HA POINTS, TALK ABOUT WITH IT YOUR SPOUSE OR FRIEND. POST HERE; ANYTHING,,, THAT YOU LIKE, OR ANYTHIG YOU WOULD HAVE MISSED, HAD YOU NOT DONE THIS SMALL ASSIGNMENT!

DID IT ENRICH YOUR LIFE OR MAKE NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL? IF SO, WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO THIS WITH OTHER THINGS?; THINGS OR PEOPLE THAT WE MAY USUALLY TAKE FOR GRANTED. JUST TRY IT, AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, SEE WHAT, IF ANY FEEDBACK YOU GET FROM OTHERS. JUST PICK ONE THING, BUT REALLY GO OVER IT IN DETAIL!


J

HOLA!!!!!!!!

I would have missed this had I been walking normally and not looking at the details of the pond, trees and life!
HOW MUCH DO WE MISS? ESPECIALLY OF OUR CHILDREN, PETS, FRIENDS.....YOU NAME IT............ MAYBE WE SHOULD SAY

LIFE IS IN THE DETAILS!

CHAIN LETTERS

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CHAIN LETTERS THAT ARE SO PREVALENT ON THE INTERNET TODAY. SCARLET AND I WERE JUST HAVING AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION ABOUT THESE. THEY ONLY TAKE A MINUTE OR SO TO READ, AND USUALLY DO NO HARM. THIS ONE TOUCHED ME ESPECIALLY, AND IF YOU HAVE THE TIME- AND READ IT SLOWLY- TAKE MAYBE 15 MINS OUT OF AN ALREADY BUSY AND CRAMMED DAY- IT MAY JUST BLESS YOU IN A SPECIAL WAY.

BTW- THE ONES I FORWARD I USUALLY TRIM OFF THE GET RICH PART, OR THE SOMETHING MIRACULOUS WILL HAPPEN. WE ARE ALREADY RICH AND THE MIRACLE HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. A PERFECT MAN GAVE UP PERFECTION TO DIE FOR ALL OUR FAULTS- WE CAN NOW ENTER HEAVEN BECAUSE OF THE MIRACLE OF HIS BEING RAISED FROM THE DEAD, AND COUNTED AS OUR RANSOM. OUR SIN DEBT HAS BEEN PAID AND CANCELED BY BLOOD. IT'S SO SIMPLE I BELIEVE THAT'S WHY SO MANY PEOPLE QUESTION IT AND DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND IT UNTIL GOD ALLOWS YOU TOO. I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY OR CRAM ANYTHING DOWN YOUR THROAT. THESE ARE MY PERSONAL BELIEFS AND EVERYONE IS FREE TO CLICK THE BROWSER BUTTON AT ANYTIME TO STOP READING. TODAY, MAY NOT BE YOUR DAY. ONLY YOU AND GOD CAN AND WILL DETERMINE IF AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS. THAT'S WHAT'S SO COOL ABOUT IT. I DON'T HAVE TO DEFEND IT OR SELL IT- I AM MERELY TOLD TO TELL IT!

LOVE TO ALL,

The Wooden Bowl

I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now,
a year from now.

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson.
The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered

The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and
failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son.
'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.
He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded,
'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.
' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.

That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason,
neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things:
a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life...'

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance..

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.You nee d to be able to throw something back sometimes.

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you
But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others,
your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.

People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I've learned that you should pass this on to everyone you care about ...I just did..

FRIENDSHIP CANDLE

NOTICE AT THE END,
THE DATE THE CANDLE WAS STARTED.
GONNA GIVE YOU GOOSE BUMPS.


I am not going to be the one who lets it die. I found it believable --
angels have walked beside me all my life--and they still do

*********************

This is to all of you who
mean something to me,
I pray for your happiness.

The Candle Of Love, Hope & Friendship


This candle was lit on the
15th of September, 1998

Someone who loves you has helped
keep it alive by sending it to you.

Don't let The Candle of Love, Hope and Friendship die

Pass It On To All Of Your Friends
and Everyone You Love!
May God richly bless you!

WHICH ONE OF YOUSE GUYS IS #9 ?????

HEY, LITTLE HELP, WHICH ONE'S #9? I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ON CLOUD 9 ?????

YOU ALL LOOK THE SAME TO ME!

GUESS WHICH ONE

Baby early growing stages

Nice white poofy growing cloud

Non-threatening little shade from the SUN right!!!!



WATCH THESE CAREFULLY LATE IN THE DAY!

When you see these: Think of Kevin Costner in: DRAGONFLY
check out the almost Human Face and this design! FLAWLESS!


OK GANG I HAVE SUBMITTED AN APP FOR BOTH JOBS. IT WON'T HURT TO GO SEE FIRSTHAND WHAT "VIBE" I GET!

I am also going to pursue an avenue that I have completely not thought about before. It has always been Heart, Heart, Heart. It could possibly be : Lungs, Lungs, Lungs, and something as simple as an Inhaler or two, to put me back, and keep me in the pink may be all I need.! Oh, I had the Heart stuff, but you sometimes get so focused on the Horses you can't see the Zebra standing right out in front. Is there a life lesson here: you bet there is. Clouds, Dragonfly's' and Zebras oh my!


I have used these before but only when I had a little cold or something; never as anything chronic or to be put on a regimen of albuterol vs. prednisone specifically for my past 35 ppd Pack per Day- smoking History!

I'm so close to feeling great all the time and then, these relapses! A Doc suggested the pulmonary route and down it I shall delve! No matter what, God is driving, and when He drops me off at whatever door, I'll get out and go to work! I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired and off to work I go!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone! Here is a pic of a growing Thunderstorm that kicked butt after it grew up! This is about 10,000 feet and it went up to 45,000 or 50,000 and then decided to open up!

(For me: kiss/over/cloud/judgment/vision/obscure/bookvscover.com) To help remember something! ;-)

JOB PRONOUNCED "JOB"

"Y'all help him out- He's driving us crazy staying home all this time. Even the picture is out of focus and shaky, because he has the work DT's. Also, the font on this post went berserk, and he's gonna blame it on me. Like he does his farts. THAT, pisses me off, but what's a Dog to do? Besides that Don't bite the hand that feeds ya rule, heck, we pretty much got it made.

There have been so many things done, circulated, written about and posted on the Internet about the uniqueness of the English language. Well, this is about my Job. Pronounced Job, and not like the Biblical character Job. But how do you know. Now, Mrs. Job, when he was going through all his trials and tribulations, "Not tonight honey, I have festering pustules all over my body", probably went without sex for a while knew her husband's name was pronounced Job..... but-----------------------How do we know?

It could be pronounced Job and then we have a conundrum. We have been mispronouncing a Book of the Bible for years!

on the other hand- what if someone told you to get; up go out, and get a Job.......pronounced like the Biblical character: MY POINT EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!

What has this got to do with your Job you ask. Do you mean my Job or my Job? Well? Which one am I writing about currently. You could say both and well you should. Because that is the correct answer. If I have left you scratching your head and saying to yourself "WTF", then I have succeeded.

Why have I wasted 2 minutes of my life that I can never get back. Furthermore, why am I still reading this drivel you ask yourself. The answer is----- "suspense". That time proven proverb of "Curiosity Killed the Cat"> Now I doubt it was curiosity that killed the cat in the literal since because, how can a saying, Kill anything. Except

time

of which you have now wasted more! And you are hoping and praying that this leads to some logical conclusion so that your "TIME", will have been well spent.

How do you spend time? It is not recognized currency anywhere in the world except by two Tibetan Monks named Chang Shau and Roy.

I will be unable to do the 12 hour shifts after this last stent- here we go again with the words: stent, a medical device used to open up an artery, verses a stint, which again involves -----You got it--- TIME!!! And If I could save time in a bottle, I would retire.

Both are office jobs, within the same Hospital system for which I currently work . Only the JOB (which one?) titles have been changed to protect the innocent. Benefits slide over, uninterrupted, both are equidistant from my home. Seriously, within 1/4 mile difference.
btw- spell checker missed the word titles, because tile is actually a word. So I had to proof-read my own writing. If you can't trust Microsoft spellchecker/grammar-checkker- who can you trust?

One is a small office with which one of the physicians I have already worked. The other a large group practice that very rarely has any employee turn-over. One is well established, the other brand new. Both pay the same with equal benefits. Other than talking with and meeting the other Employees, how do you decide which one to take? All things considered I would like some input from my friends on the, or a, decision making process.

Since the word is process, it seems to indicate an ongoing situation doesn't it. But once you decide the process stops.........Hmmmmmmmm

Both are Office jobs of which I have been a Physicians' medical office manager foe 20 years, and this is just an hourly position. This would put me in line a little further for Management, within this large stable Hospital System and stop those back-breaking heart killing 12 hr shifts that turn into 14 hrs. by the time all the patients have been seen. I love the variety and pace of Urgent Care..I just wonder if I'll be happy "going backwards" so to speak? Actually it is a lateral move, it is purely for MY HEALTH reasons!

anyhow, writing it out helps........... and I'll possibly get an idea or 3 that I hadn't thought of.
I do plan to retire with this Company/Hospital by the way, so It's internal jobs that I have to Jockey for, and both of these are a major score (what poetry).

Bottom line: What if any would be your process for deciding one over the other? With like we said- pay, benefits, hours etc. being equal? 3 Docs New Practice....(New because it was needed in the area), or big longstanding practice (with a low turnover rate).



Thanks,

J

JUST THINKING ABOUT THINGS

CHILD'S MANTIS PRAYER

AS I SIT HERE ABOUT TO SLEEP,
I PRAY FOR A JUICY BUG TO EAT!
AND IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE,
PLEASE DON'T LET ME BECOME FOOD FOR THE WATER SNAKE.

Here are more Praying Mantises' & various pics- that I found within the same 20 foot area where I shot pics of Gran-dad Mantis, they other day. This is one rich little Eco-system and I hope you find the variations and coloration's of God's creations as unique and cool as I do. I love having had this time to really slow down and walk with "Woods eyes" as we discussed earlier. It's like seeing a nude through Scarlett's eyes, or the Political stage through Hammer's, and always wondering - what does he really think!!!! Or Jeannie's' sharp (concise); to the point spot on observations about life, to Sweetie's, soft and gentle heartfelt words, or Sea Spray's fascination with all things Bajingo!!!

I'm fascinated too Sea- wink wink nudge nudge say no more- there's ALWAYS room form Monty Python! I love you my Eclectic group of Cyber-Friends. Sadly in a day when we have lost en-face communication, this is is the best we have. And as for this particular medium- Blogging (or is that a large), yes I'm allowed to ramble....there is no box!!!!!! I would never had ever met you or exchanged ideas with you. Or parlayed a vocal thrust and parry about anything. So we are the richer for it. Let's just don't forget those that are in arm's reach to HUG and Squeeze at least 5 times really hard each day, to say I love you, or Thanks for being my friend, or you can trust me, etc. Thanks for giving me an outlet to put down these random thoughts. They may seem random to you, but when I look back-sometimes as soon as two years from now, but especially 5 or 10; they will be crystal clear, and this chapter past will have purpose and meaning so clear I'll wonder how I ever missed it in the first place. All things come in due time....and we have eternity.

with the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked
them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.
It's hard to believe these were actually done by first
graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading,
keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds,
because the last one is a classic!

GOIN G TO THE DENTIST

We think His name was Danny.

Yep, This is the same bike that was posted a year or so ago, completely out of the water. Good bit of rain this spring. It's about 2' deep where the bike is now.






I'D RATHER HAVE A TOOTH PULLED THAN GO TO THE DENTIST. WAIT...... NEVER MIND.

I always think of the Bill Cosby episode when I think of Dentists.

Heba came a homcba slrring evry worda and you could barely understand him. When he drank the water ran out of his mouth, and all he could think of was getting the Toy at the end of the visit. He even conned the Dentist into giving him two I think. Wekk,
wishsabe mea luc, an ida hope to get someaba gas!

Wait, I already have that. And I'm not laughing! My Dentist and I went to college together and even worked at the same Trauma center for a while during school. He was an EKG tech. Now he's a Dentist, and I, am what I am.

Oh, try this for pain control. Grab his testicles firmly in one hand, right before he numbs you up, and say- "You hurt me, I hurt you back!" Try it- it works.

Now ladies, I'm not suggesting this just for a cleaning!

Popeye!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!

This is one of a pair of New Hawks that have just moved in this Spring!!! It's the first pic and the first time He has even been within any type of range, so I can't even believe it showed up in the pic. I'll get some good ones now that I know where they are nesting.

If he got my lil' frien, He's in trouble!

OMG!

JOHN IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY. CONGRATULATIONS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

YEPPERS, MADE IT THE OLD SPEED LIMIT! 55----BORN IN 54.


Hey, that reminds me. This time when there was a "GAS SHORTAGE", why didn't they lower the Speed Limits back to 55 mph again? Huh? WHY? Was it because it would cost millions to change all the 60, 65 and 70 mph signs back to 55????? Hell mo.

What do you think they did with all the other 55 mph signs left over from the last Gas debacle.

Oh, I know----they cut them in 1/2 and shipped them to Baseball parks all over the country, so whenever a team scored 5 runs they could hang that bad boy on the score board!

There is no gas shortage, there never has been a gas shortage and there never ever will be a gas shortage. It's a scam in case you haven't noticed. That's why Jesus walked everywhere he went.
He has a small Carbon footprint. That's why He could walk on water. He was mostly Hydrogen.

Maybe that's what it means "In the fullness of Christ", Being Filled with His Holy Spirit", and "Becoming less so He can become more"?

Nah. That ain't it.

Anyway, Going to my regular Doc today for my 6 months check and see the Cardiologist Thursday when I'm supposed to go back to work.

Well- I am actually going back to work--cuz basically I like to eat! I'll work on the hours/job/life thing as we go.

Oh, and I sent in my Resume for that teaching position at the Medical Office Assistants School (Remington College). It's small and just starting and is out of Fla. They are working on getting several Associate Degree programs started here too, so if I'm faculty , by then I may be able to move on up and continue taking courses while teaching.

One thing I know for sure. "My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus". Always has, always will. It's tight sometimes, but you can't stay tied up at the dock all your life. If you don't venture out, God will allow a storm to come and toss you like a salad with twenty five day old mayonnaise and Tequilla dressing!

Love to my Loyal subjects, yes you may kiss my Ring!

PICTURE THIS WALK

I'M GLAD GOD DIDN'T TAKE RITALIN! CUZ WITHOUT IT, HE SURE MADE UP SOME COOL STUFF IN 6 DAYS !


Taking out the trash is an adventure.

I was leaving the house to take the trash down to the end of the road, and as I opened the gate I put my hand on this dude in the dark. Yes, it freaked me out but I did not scream. (not loudly).

When I get the Garbage can- a rolling monstrosity that would hold a VW to the end of the dirt/sand road, (about .2 miles). I shined the flashlight down and found this dude.



This guy I found during the day. He was hard enough to spot in broad daylight! You just have to walk slowly and look with "Woods eyes". I used to practice this before hunting season to get my eyes used to the woods. That was when I hunted. I've since learned it's much more satisfying with a Camera. You just have to sneak up closer to club them to death with it. I may go back to my gun! I was just walking slowly around the pond to find things God made up and spotted this guy. I think He did such a good job making stuff that He wanted to share it, and had Adam name them just to mess with his head!! I've always loved Praying Mantis's, especially cause after sex the female eats the head off the male first.


Good eyes or what? Good design or what? Check out the camoflage. This is wayyyyyyy before Mossy Oak!
More Woods Eyes. GEICO my butt. It was his accent that got him the gig!
Woods Eyes! Or the Shrooms are kicking in big time, because I did find myself singing Karma, Karma, Karma Chameleon, by Boy George over and over. (And it sounded GOOD!)


What happens when you eat too much fiber! This is all that's left of a Pine Cone after a Gray Squirrel finished with it. Or Wild Bear Crap- Not sure.


I found a Spider today hiding in the coolest of webs in the most awesome spot on a Pine Tree Limb. I Literally peeled this thing out of a Cocoon of silk/web that was so tough, Peter Parker would have been proud. And then from just the right position you can see the webs, but you have to be in the right place with the sun in exactly the right position to ever know they were there. I've walked by them all my life and just discovered this thing today. God hid them from the Birds.
I'll have to get another picture of him cuz it's a lot out of focus and this thing looks like an alien. Plus I admit I did lick the Toad before I left, as I heard they had "Medicinal" properties. I think I licked Him/Her? in the wrong spot though because it followed me home.


Below is a pic of his "Nest" of innocent looking pine needles, and his Cocoon was inside the needles with the web transparent around the outside.

I'll go ahead and put the fuzzy one up- this is not two spiders. It appears he has a "shell" on his back, but that is his body, and it mimics it's head. They are about the same size. It is freaky deaky. And I don't know why it was so out of focus. The two small black dots in the v of the pine needle are the actual eyes, with a greyish cone shaped nose, and two legs on either side. The two dots that are slightly bigger and higher are fake eyes and are on that back, body thing. It looks like two mating or piggyback, but it is actually only one Spider.
I could not get up the guts to lick it.




It was getting late the day I found Alien Spider, and it was hot. It was hot and muggy when I took the trash down the next night, and knowing how important it is to stay hydrated-------well, Hydrated I stayed!




Did I mention it was Hot? On Screened in porch after sun had set. 92 degrees!!!! but the Humidity was only 62% so there was no Heat Index. Comforting huh? I was downright chilly!


I was very lucky to find these to eat along the way back home. Flatus Hallucinogatus, or FartShrooms as we call them locally. You have to be very careful as a novice may eat the wrong kind, and instead of hallucinating- He will shit his pants. These we OK!

Needless to say by the time I got home from taking the trash down Thursday night, it was Saturday morning; and I swear I kept hearing Hammer yelling something about Arby's, and Tartar sauce! Anyway I had to Pee Like a Racehorse and I want you to finally see just exactly what it looks like when a Race Horse Pees. Wee Wee edited out:



Woods eyes- you think you could see the frog from plane????? I did!
Usually I walk looking around a certain radius of my feet, for the obvious reason-Snakes. Both to find, and to make sure I FIND FIRST!!!! Thank goodness I started looking ahead and around or I would've walked right into this Wasps' nest. They would have put a hurting on me for certain.

I take that back- they almost look like Yellow Jackets, but they usually live in the ground don't they? Heck it doesn't matter- they all Sting!

WOODS EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Berrry Berry Impotant!!!!!



OK- Now for the Pee pics as promised, and BOY DID I HAVE TO GO!!!!!!!


Getting started is always the hardest part.

But once you get er going.......

IT'S FULL STREAM AHEAD


A Little for my Magnolia that I dug up out of the woods.....Cool for free huh?




OK, OK- I'm Just showing OFF! But it took me years to perfect this!




Now This is sickening. I moved a board at the "POND". It's just a low area that catches Rainwater and can get stagnant, although this year has been exceptional. Anyway, I turned over a Board where I had found a Water Snake a few days before, and I was either tripping my butt off, or some numb nuts, in the past throw out an Oil Filter or dumped some oil here. This was what floated up out of clear water.

It started small and literally bubbled up out of the ground... could be gasoline, but I don't think it would last that long.




Let's end on a prettier note. I go back to the Cardiologist next week for my 3 week check. I'm also apply for a teaching position for Medical Office Assistants as a Lab Instructor, like I mentioned, so please pray if that's what I'm supposed to do- I'll do it. I've made up my mind that my Life and Wife are more important than work and strife! (Dang I'm good.) I can't go back to 13,14 and 16 hour days and expect to stay healthy! I'm sure they will work with me at Urgent Scare and definitely would transfer me to the Main Hospital. But I can't sit at a desk and register people or do guest services. It's just not me.

Of course I'll be smart and burn no bridges, and maybe even do some PRN work at UC, to keep my foot in the door. But I want to walk around all day, every day and do just what I just did. Take Pictures, observe, think, Communicate with great people like you.

Teach others some of the things I've learned so they too can give back to the Community. Also, so they won't (maybe) have to make the same stupid mistakes I did. Although I think that's unavoidable. It's built into maturing, and is the way we absolutely learn. Until you touch the hot burner, and scream in pain with butter dripping on the floor that your mom just put on your throbbing hand, you will NOT believe the burner was hot, just like Mom said it was. Yes, I know you don't use butter now cause it's bad for your Cholesterol or some dumb butt thing like that. You use 99.95 burn cream that YO'bama will make sure you get after a 14 hour ER wait or a 6 week Doctor's (NOT OF YOUR CHOICE) appointment!


For my next pictoral foray (all pics by John so no stealing here) will be a POP up Story, if I can figure that one out! I also would like to upload these pics faster, so I think I'll reload them back up to Picassa and learn how to post them over here again. I'd like to possibly add sound effects, narrate or add music, so I need to do some research on how to that on Blogger. I need to keep it simple, fun and not too terribly time consuming. NOT, a PowerPoint show, something different, only similar. Send money---thousands and thousands and I'll stay home. I'll be checking the mail-box regularly! LOL!

G'Night & God Bless you all! Click.
