Head and All

I remember as a child opening up a can of sardines, putting them on a saltine cracker and eating it and LIKING IT. Now, I cannot imagine putting that in my mouth! It seems kind of gross.

Do any of you eat sardines?

I just read a list of 9 superfoods:

Quinoa - I am going to buy this - you must get it at a specialty grocery store like Whole Foods - it is high in protein, low in carbs, high in fiber. It is supposed to be a supstitute for rice.

Guava

Blueberries - brain food

Kale

Coconut Oil

Flax Seed

Sardines

Apples - good for Bones!

Green Tea

Glade Merkley is DATING Grace McKendrick!

Pres. Merkley apparently talked about it in his gospel doctrine class last week.

He said that they did not know where this was going, they were dating, their kids all knew and approved, they would just see where it leads.

He brought her to church last week and this week and they have been seen at other church functions!

I just thought it was an interesting piece of news.

Shocking, but TRUE!

Remember this house??

Yes, it is 1030 Don Alvarado Drive.

It seems that Mom and Dad paid $64,000 for it.

(Am I right? I don't know where I got that number.)

Today, it is for sale for......

$1,300,000

YES!!

It has been for sale for 6 months.

I just discovered it was for sale.

It is 3015 square feet. 5 bedrooms, 3 baths.

The lot size is 1015 square feet.

I am desperate to see the inside!!

I am spending alot more time reading, anyway.

I have started taking the Trax to work. It's a 30 minute ride for me and if I don't meet Dad on the way in, I end up with just about an hour a day to read. I am finishing about a book a week. I have reported on my progress so far in "Books We've Read" blog. Go and check it out.

AND -- I want to send out a GREAT BIG
THANK YOU

to our own JULIE/MOM

Thank you for keeping us going. I truely enjoy seeing what you are doing down there, so far away from us. And it really reminds me to stay in touch with every one here. Appreciation abounds!

6 Words or Less

There is a new book out:
"Not quite what I was planning; Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure"

I read about it on another blog. Very interesting premise. Can you write about yourself in 6 words?

Few examples:
celebrity chef Mario Batali (he sent seven)
"Brought it to a boil, often"

Stephen Colbert:
Well, I thought it was funny

Eliza:
I'll just sleep five more minutes

Ok, here is one that I thought of for me:

Did I say that out loud?

Joke Time

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter.
'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.
''No problem, just let me in,' says the man.
'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.
''Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the senator.
'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises...

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door re opens on heaven where St Peter is waiting for him. 'Now it's time to visit heaven.'So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now chooseyour eternity.
'The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers:
'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.

'So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags,picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.
'I don'tunderstand,' stammers the senator.
'Yesterday I was here and there was a golfcourse and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?'

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we were campaigning...... Today you voted.

Pharmaceuticals

As you all know, I like to practice medicine without a license.

This is what I learned today about allergy medications:

Benadryl, Claritin and Zyrtec all are allergy medications. You take them when you have a runny nose, sneezing, etc. All 3 of these medications work in 3 different ways to stop your allergy problems. So, if you take one and it doesn't work, try another, that one might be the one for you. Alavert is another allergy drug....it is the SAME as Claratin. Hope this helps some of you sufferers.

Also, if you have the problem of being congested along with your allergies, then take the allergy medication with the D with it i.e. Claritin-D.

Today I took a Claritin, it really has not done well for me. I will try a Zyrtec tomorrow.
