No longer seeking to know the truth
No longer seeking to know the truth
nor trying to understand with words,
I only sit
and listen to the sound of wind in the trees
and watch the shadows of the evening
lengthen into night.~ Blue Iris Sangha
A tale from the death zone
So it’s Christmas Eve and I’ve got the turkey in the brine and a pot roast in the slow cooker. Those are in the plus column. In the other column, I’ve yet to wrap the gifts for my wife and my youngest is running around the house butt nekkid. Back in the plus column, it’s snowing again – putting a top coat on the several inches still left on the ground from the storm on Wednesday.
I went to Wal*Mart last night, and I came out alive. Granted, I didn’t go directly into the death zone (toy department) but only skirted the perimeter as my mission did not call for that level of hazard. I admit, I went to Wal*Mart on Christmas Eve Eve just so I could say that I did and made it through in one piece. Cheap thrills.
I think it’s time to open the wine.
Lest we forget
mmm Bacon
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.
~ Sir Francis Bacon
The fountain of content
The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who hath so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition, will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief he proposes to remove.
~ Samuel Johnson
Love those whom you cannot love
Start learning to love God by loving those whom you cannot love. The more you remember others with kindness and generosity, the more you forget yourself, and when you completely forget yourself, you find God.
~ Meher Baba

| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. |

Tough Love vs. Spanking
I got this as a e-mail forward, which would usually mean I’d just delete it and move on, but this was too funny not to share.
Tough Love vs. Spanking ~ (a psychological conundrum)
Most of America’s populace think it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of “those moments.”
One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk.
They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together.
I’ve included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.
Sincerely,
A Friend
