In God We Trust - Water - and Bounce ?


I checked this out on snopes - tis true - Thanks Terry! IN GOD WE TRUST!
And think of this - this would be something positive to do for our world!

"You may have heard in the news that a couple of Post Offices in Texas have been forced to take down small posters that say 'IN GOD WE TRUST ,' The law, they say, is being violated..

Anyway, we heard proposed on a radio station show, that we should all write ' IN GOD WE TRUST' on the back of all our mail.

After all, that's our National Motto, and -----all the money we use to buy stamps. We think it's a wonderful idea.

We must take back our nation from all the people who think that anything that offends them should be removed.

If you like this idea, please pass it on and DO IT. The idea of writing or stamping 'IN GOD WE TRUST ' on our envelopes sounds good to us.

SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING A RUBBER STAMP MADE TO ENSURE IT IS SEEN........lets use it as our signature on e-mails, too!

It's been reported that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, we have a very hard time understanding why there's such a mess about having' 'In God We Trust!' on our money and having God in the pledge of Allegiance.

Could it be that WE just need to take action and tell the 14% to 'sit down and shut up'?"

I know this is probably pretty strong - but I do believe we need to take America back!


Just a friendly reminder - especially this HOT summer - to drink water!
WATER - Thank you Jean! I found this another good thing to hear about every so often.

#1.
75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely applies to half the world population)

#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is mistaken for hunger.

#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.

#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs
or almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of
Washington study.

#5.
Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

#6.
Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of
water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain
for up to 80% of sufferers.

#7.
A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term
memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on
the computer screen or on a printed page.

#8.
Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of
colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast
cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop
bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water
you should drink every day?




'Bounce' This Along - Thanks Sharon.

"My mail carrier told me that the U.S. Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away.

Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works. The insects just veer around you.

All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!

1. It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.

2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.

3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.

4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.

5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.

6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling..

7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.

8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.

9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.

10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.

11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.

12. To freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan..

14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.

15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the lose hairs.

16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.

18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight.

20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.

21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.

22. Wet a Bounce sheet, hose down your car, and wipe lovebugs off easily with the wet Bounce."

Quick, bounce this on within the next 5 minutes! However, nothing will happen if you don't!

Buy the store brand, it works just as well , is made in the USA and costs half as much.-



The mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work unless it's open.

Be an Eagle, not a duck . . . or Chatty's Day To Vent

Wayne "Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you’ll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, ‘Stop complaining! Differentiate yourself from your competition. Don’t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.” I read this on the Blog a couple of weeks ago called Personal Development for the Book Smart.

I've been thinking about that statement. It's true of course, but the meaning of what a duck is verses what an eagle is - is subjective to each person's own mind. How one person describes an eagles strengths could be entirely different from another persons description. The same could hold true for a ducks description.'

The other thought I had is - do I always have to be the eagle or can I be the duck at least some times?

I'm a strong person - I don't think it was by choice exactly, I think I've been made strong though 'life experiences'. I don't think I've have the most 'learning experiences' ever, but I've had a lot.

The week before Thanksgiving my daughter got engaged to a man we really love. Great. That means that she will be moving (great) and my grandson (which I feel both happiness and sadness about - I'm dealing with it and I know by May, I will be doing better - he's sad too - so we are grieving together - and we are happy planning together at the same time).

We went to Cincinnati over Thanksgiving to visit my son and his wife and it all went nicely. In the day time while my son and daughter-in-law worked, I spent the day at a water slide connected to our hotel - for my grandson. My husband 'ducked' out and went to the airplane museum in Dayton - which I didn't mind - day one. But day two and three he 'ducked' out and played and or worked on the computer all day - which I admit was getting to me a little bit. Ordinarily I would read and everything would be okay, but this trip was different - I had to watch and deal with my grandson those three days (which was fun, tiring but fun), the problem was that my lovely daughter had turned into the Bride Godzilla! Everything on that trip between her and I was about the wedding and everything had to be done right then and there. And believe me - she meant it and we did it right then and there. Let me tell you that a beautiful and expensive wedding can be planned in every detail over the Internet and a cell phone.

My daughter is a planner and a little OCD, we all our in our own way, I know that too, but this trip was tough. We'd make decisions without my husband and when he did get brought into the loop - he wasn't so thrilled with the decisions we made. Can I just say it is a tab bit stressful here. I was in a lose-lose situation there.

So I am the strong eagle - soaring - watching out for everything and everyone. I see that things run smooth and hurt feelings are kept to a minimum . . . hey wait - every one's but mine that is. I'm tired. I want to be the duck for awhile!

I'm having surgery 12-12-08 so any prayers would be appreciated. The total recovery time is 6 weeks. So I have to be an eagle there.

So then for the 'eagle' there is Christmas and decorations up and down - at least instrumenting it. New Years, Valentine's Day, my daughter's birthday, my birthday, my grandson's birthday, Easter, the end of the school year, the kids moving out, and then THE WEDDING -in five months! So the eagle is feeling kind of tired and in need of venting so please excuse me, but sometimes I want to be the duck!

I know Dyer meant the eagle meant doing a good job and the duck not doing such a good job, but I also see the eagle as strength and the duck as weak. But like I said while I am strong, sometimes it would be nice to for someone else to step up to the place here and let me rest. I also know - that this whole problem of me being the caretaker or everyone - is my fault!
I wish I didn't know so much.

I read this in a Blog listed on my site by Gurushabad:

"The Law of Chaos is that Law which states that chaos exists when the observing mind cannot accept what is.
The Law of Order exists when the observing mind can accept what is, regardless of the appearance of chaos...."

Oh how I understand that in my heart and soul. And oh if I could 'teach' that to my family here. They are so busy either in chaos or they are in hiding. Making my own life really reeling right now. I can't teach them or anyone else - they must walk the road themselves or chose not too.

I'm trying to stay in the Law of Order - observing and accept what is - regardless of chaos - hey, I never said it would be easy, but I am taking my own advice and I'm breathing as often as I can.
Chatty - eagle or duck - maybe I'm just Chatty . . . .
