Monday Meanderings

GOOD MONDAY MORNING TO YOU!

 One thing I did was change the coconut oil contest from picking today to picking on Wednesday and I'll tell you on Thursday who the winner is and run my last contest that I have going. 

Did you get your taxes in?  They are due in today!!!

We rented Life of Pi this weekend  - which I thought was good, but not great.  To me something was missing - what did you think?

I also got an IPhone 4 - for free from Sprint - I was panicked at first, but feel much better now and the booster they sent works great.  

Enjoy - read what interests you and forget the rest.

This method for cooking loads of corn on the cob perfectly.  Thanks Jerry-asthecrackerheadcrumbles

I was hipped to it while visiting my family in Maine.

Short story: We like corn on the cob. And with eight adults at the table, that means a couple of dozen ears. We would have used the lobster pot to cook them all, but the lobster pot was busy steaming lobster.

Then my sister, a capable Maine cook with years of camping experience, says, "Let's do cooler corn!"

Before I can ask, "What the hell is cooler corn?" a Coleman cooler appears from the garage, is wiped clean, then filled with the shucked ears.

Next, two kettles-full of boiling water are poured over the corn and the top closed.

Then nothing.

When we sat down to dinner 30 minutes later and opened it, the corn was perfectly cooked.

My mind was blown.

And I'm told that the corn will remain at the perfect level of *doneness* for a couple of hours.

Turns out, Cooler Corn is pretty well known among the outdoorsy set.

But for those of us who avoid tents as much as possible, it's perfect for large barbecues and way less of mess than grilling.

I know we will all be eating lots of corn soon!

 

 

In the future, when the 'net' is a  bit slow... think of this ... watch to the end !!  THIS WILL S H O C K  you!!!!!!!!!  http://www.wimp.com/internetworks/

 A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'... She fooled them all .... "How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile.
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. To 20 oz.

She replied , "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it.
"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

"If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."

As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced.

So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.
Don't carry them through the evening and into the night... Pick them up tomorrow.

1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!

2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

8 * Never buy a car you can't push.

9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

10 **** Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
[dedicated to all shag snobs!]

11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.

13 *  When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

14 **** Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

16 * ***Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

19 * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

20 *Save the earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate!*
Thank you Jean!
