Stormy, extra hugs….. I’ve experienced it too. Keep busy around the house with nature…… that’s what I did. Enjoy the birds. Relax. Something will come along that’s better. When one door closes, another opens.

Hey stormy, enjoy your time off and rejuvenate your spirit and your body, so you can hear God’s word and plan for you. As I tell my children, trust your first instinct and for me that is usually the Holy Spirit talking to me.

Marc perhaps I’m ‘behind the times’ insurance-wise………….but don’t yall have some ‘Cobra’ option(s)??

Katfish - I’ll have Cobra. I used it the last time I was laid off. It’s a lot cheaper than buying insurance on your own. But it also only lasts for a limited period of time (18 months, I think). We’ll have to see what the comparison will be with that and his insurance. Both cost and duration…

Unfortunately, I have two doctors and a dentist to feed. Insurance is really useful!

Fortunately, I AM in pretty good health (lots of preventative maintenance, and I plan to do more now!). I think we’ll be able to work things out.

Wino

That is so true about COBRA. Must be why I didn’t sign up for it when I got laid off.

Wind and rain……. a little rain, strong wind. I’ve been leaving my storm door wide open to the back yard, but now wonder if a bird will fly in. That would bring total chaos indoors. Max, Sophie and Eddie, not to mention Buddy the cat………I think I better error on the safe side and go close that door.

Wow — cool story, Katfish. Thanks for sharing that.

However, the link you gave is broken.

Well by now Oldest daughter is on her way back to her Grandma’s house for here first extended stay away from home without mom & dad. Grandma is going to teach her how to sew and they are going to spend the next 4 days making a quilt. Now I am both excited and nervous but knowing my daughter she is going to work real hard and have a fantastic quilt when it is all done. I’ll try to get a picture of the quilt up when she gets home.

One note on Grandma and her quilt making skills, she has won multiple awards both locally and state wide and has had a couple of quilts displayed at the annual quilt festival and the rodeo over the past few years. So this should be a fine piece of work.

I wanted to make sure everyone got the new version of the horoscope going around, I thought it was funny reading some of them and thinking to myself who fits what sign…………Wino, ARMADILLO reminded me of you ;). I am CRAWFISH.
Some Southerners are pretty skeptical of horoscopes and the people that read them. If we are to ever fully understand all the star signs and the people they represent, we need symbols that all true Southerners understand:

OKRA (Dec 22 - Jan 20): Are tough on the outside but tender on the inside. Okras have tremendous
influence. An older Okra can look back over his life and see the seeds of his influence
everywhere. You can do something good each day if you try.

CHITLIN (Jan 21 - Feb 19): Chitlins come from humble backgrounds. A Chitlin, however, will make
something of himself if he is motivated and has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful - they may surprise you. They can erupt like Vesuvius. Chitlins are best with Catfish and Okra.

BOLL WEEVIL (Feb 20 - March 20): You have an overwhelming curiosity. You’re unsatisfied with the
surface of things, and you feel the need to bore deep into the interior of everything. Needless to
say, you are very intense and driven as if you had some inner hunger. You love to stay busy and tend
to work too much. Nobody in their right mind is going to marry you, so don’t worry about it.

MOON PIE (March 21 - April 20): You’re the type that spends a lot of time on the front porch. A
cinch to recognize the physical appearance of Moon Pies. Big and round are the key words here. You
should marry anybody who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It’s not going to be easy.
You always have a big smile and are happy. This might be the year to think about aerobics. Maybe
not.

POSSUM (April 21 - May 21): When confronted with life’s difficulties, possums have a marked tendency
to withdraw and develop a don’t-bother-me-about-it attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn, people
actually think you’re dead. This strategy is probably not psychologically healthy but seems to
work for you. You are a rare breed. Most folks love to watch you work and play. You are a night person and mind your own business.

CRAWFISH (May 22 - June 21): Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in an office, you’re hanging
around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer the beach to the mountains, the pool to the golf course, and
the bathtub to the living room. You tend not to be particularly attractive physically, but you have
very, very good heads.

COLLARDS (June 22 - July 23): Collards have a genius for communication. They love to get in the melting pot of life and share their essence with the essence of those around them. Collards make good social workers, psychologists, and baseball managers. As far as your personal life goes, if you
are Collards, stay away from Crawfish. It just won’t work. Save yourself a lot of heartache.

CATFISH (July 24 - Aug 23): Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the heart, although
one’s whiskers may cause problems for loved ones. You Catfish are never easy people to understand.
You run fast. You work and play hard. Even though you prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear surface
of life, you are liked by most. Above all else, Catfish should stay away from Moon Pies.

GRITS (Aug 24 - Sept 23): Your highest aim is to be with others like yourself. You like to huddle
together with a big crowd of other Grits. You love to travel though, so maybe you should think about
joining a club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese, gravy, bacon, butter, or eggs and
a good time. If you can go somewhere where they have all these things; that serves you well. You
are pure in heart.

BOILED PEANUTS (Sept 24 - Oct 23): You have a passionate desire to help your fellow man.
Unfortunately, those who know you best, your friends and loved ones, may find that your
personality is much too salty, and their criticism will affect you deeply because you are really much softer than you appear. You should go right ahead and marry anybody you want to because in a certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the road of life, you can be sure that people will always pull over and stop for you.

BUTTER BEAN (Oct 24 - Nov 22): Always invite a Butter Bean to a party because Butter Beans get
along well with everybody. You, as a Butter Bean, should be proud. You’ve grown on the vine of life,
and you feel at home no matter what the setting. You can sit next to anybody. However, you, too,
shouldn’t have anything to do with Moon Pies.

ARMADILLO (Nov 23 - Dec 21): You have a tendency to develop a tough exterior, but you are actually quite gentle and kind inside. A good evening for you–old friends, a fire, some roots, fruit, worms, and insects. You are a throwback. You’re not concerned with today’s fashions and trends. You’re not concerned with anything about today. You’re almost prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You probably want to marry another Armadillo, but a Possum is another somewhat kinky mating possibility.

I proTEST!

Why I gotta be a dang Boll Weevil?

Can’t they READ the name?

Kiddo is back on Texas soil. I thought she was coming home tomorrow, but she said no, she’s coming home, home tomorrow. Why I didn’t ask her the dates, instead of just asking when she is coming home, I don’t know. hehe

I’m with ya Stormy, I’m a Butter Bean too. My Boll Weevil burns things in the skillet. Hee Hee.

Mornin all, another day that God has given to us.™

marc I wasn’t averse to bike crashes when I was young I was riding my bike down the street in the neighborhood and crashes into the back of a pickup truck which I was talking to my friend and not paying attention. That was my wake up call about crashes.

The angel came to the myrrh-bearing women at the tomb and said:

Myrrh is fitting for the dead, but Christ has shown Himself a stranger to corruption.

Here’s hoping EVERYONE has a blessed weekend!

Hey you blogospherians™

Headshakers crew (or at least some of us) are doing the meet & greet breakfast deal at IHOP tomorrow morning at Hwy 6 & 290………..

Marc, Send you an EM tamale’.

nitey-nite™ all

Lets see if the clock is right.

My child is home, so excited about her trip to the Czech Republic, London, and Vienna. She has about 500 pictures and a few post cards. The prizes she brought home to mama are wonderful. Brno is breathtaking, and I want to go! The most touching thing for she and I are the Plague statues erected in every town. Some are bigger than others, but all are to God to say ” please, no more plague”. They are tall, and have different sculptures on them, but most have children. The architecture and sculpture is amazing. The buildings are so ornate. The people are welcoming, and speak 4 languages. Prague was beautiful, but she liked it least because it is to touristy, and everyone speaks English. All streets are cobblestone, and her 23 year old feet killed her at the end of each day. They walked, and walked, and walked. Beer is the drink there. All day, beer. The oldest brewery from the 1400’s is still in business. One has to pay to use a restroom, usually around 25cents, and to wash one’s hands is another nickel or dime. There were but one or two restaurants that didn’t require one pay. Food was mostly goulash, pizza and a mc donald’s in London. The burger meal was $8.00 and the beef was awful. Most of the deserts in the Czech republic were pancake type deserts with fruit. Icecream is a daily food ( see I would love it there) and vendors are everywhere…… even in winter. She gave a talk at a school, and the 14 year olds were a hoot. The boys masterminded the students divide into two groups, and fixed it so she had all boys. They are outspoken, not like here! All wanted to be penpals, and have her email address. All the kids speak politics. They are concerned about the presidential race, as anything that happens in America, affects the world. I am so grateful she could make this trip. A trip of a lifetime.

Happy Easter wekend to all at FauxNews–He is Risen!
