I don’t know about you, my friends, but I wish someone would stick a sock in Rosie Donnell’s mouth. Does she not have the most annoying thoughts and words to say? It seems that every news program I turn on, they are reporting what Rosie said. Or how she responded to someone else. Even that she lost her job. Well, for anyone who cares, I DON”T CARE. As far as I am concerned, it matters absolutely zero to me what she thinks or says or does…only the fact that it intrudes upon my daily news. Who decided that her views were so important to the masses, anyway? Do you know anyone who follows her brand of politics or lifestyle? She is just a regular person with a big mouth who makes enough noise to get attention. I think ABC finally wised up when they decided to get rid of her on the view. Not that I watch it very much. It used to be interesting when Meridith Viera and Star Jones were on because you felt like you at least heard a balanced discussion…but now, the only voice of reason is Elizabeth Hasslebeck and it seems as the goal of the other 3 is to drown out whatever she has to say. So, Rosie…be gone…I, for one, will be glad.

O.K. Here we go…DRIVING 101….When ever you have the need to pull into a median…always…always…ALWAYS pull to the RIGHT! Whenever you pull to the right, you have a clear view to the traffic you will be pulling into. HOWEVER….if you pull in on the LEFT side, and some one pulls into the median with you….they will be forced to pull in on the Right. THEN…neither one of you will have a view to the traffic. You will only be able to see the other car and possibly inch out into the traffic, which could cause an accident and all sorts of problems, like not having a car to drive for a while, possible bodily injury and even a delay to that fabulous shopping trip you were going on before you so carelessly pulled onto the wrong side of the median. And you know how mad that will make you! Just remember…if you have need to pull into a median…DO RIGHT ! Thank you very much!

P.S. And to that crazy lady who messed me up yesterday …in the median…both of us trapped by her actions…I apoligize for the exasperated look that I gave you….but it’s a good thing for you that I was going to the tanning salon and not the mall!

Well, that’s exactly what this post is about. Free information…on your cell phone. Most of the cell providers charge up to $1.50 for each info call for a number. But there is a service that all cell phones can use…dial 800-free- 3411 …(800-373-3411) and you can get your info calls for free. I have used it and have the number entered into my phone……well, actually one of my boys entered it into my phone…but same difference! 🙂 But since I never have a phone book with me in the car…this should save me scadds of money…now what will I do with it all?…HMMMMMM………?

I have learned it is possible to grow through all kinds of trials. Two verses that mean a lot to me…I have thought of them often through the last week…

“Be joyful always; pray continually: give thanks in all circumstances.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

“Because of God’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23

Hi friends. We just got home a little while ago from the hospital. Don has TMJ which was the cause of the face and jaw pain. He’ll see an orthodontist for that. As far as the spot in the brain…still no definitive answer. It is definitely abnormal, but the Dr. here doesn’t know exactly what it is. So, we are being sent to Birmingham, where they will do more testing.

I thank you so for your prayers and concern. Please continue remembering us. Don is taking full advantage of this being “sick” thing, and I’ve about had enough. So, if you hear that he is back in the hospital…it’s because I had to intervene and teach him a thing or two. 🙂 He seems to forget that he doesn’t have that little button to push and summons help. Oh, he did like to use that. And ordering up whatever he wanted to eat? Well, that just will not work in this house.

Seriously, I thank God for you and the way you have lifted us up. Blessings to you all.
