God's Big Sandbox

The forum sent me a email today..... guess I have never been gone long enough to have that happen.... I didn't know the forum did that.....

I have been up since 6.... Puppy decided she wanted to be on her DaDa's chest but she miss gauged her flying leap and landed on my HEAD.

Coffee interview sounds impressive, we'll be praying for you.

As for your finger if it swells too much use a hot pin to make a hole in your nail so the blood can drain and relieve the pressure... Morbid yes, but my daddy taught me this trick and it works.

Crystal.... they also do a procedure now where they remove just the uterine lining... This has much quicker recovery time, you might want to see if you are a candidate for that.

Lisa- we have a new voting link here at GBSB because I went to the site and started at ground zero and made a new account with our new URL. Yesterday I made my first Homemade Pita bread, it was, OK but I think I will look for a different recipe (or better yeast). With it we had Hummus and fava beans...

Baby It's cold outside....-18°C/0°F Maggie didn't give me any trouble wearing her dog sweater today. It was kind of a doggie hand me down. Sabrina's step-mother made it for another dog and it didn't fit so Sabrina brought it for Maggie. FB did make it as far as the Employment Centre to drop more app...

At the end of my rope here, even with a callback FATman won't work.... He wants to die. He needs a psychiatric hospitalization but to do that would mean the end of the job callback. Besides I would have to PROVE he was a danger to himself, which is easier said then done. We need $275 by Thursday to ...

Sabrina didn't arive until 4:15am the 28th (In her usual disrupitve fashion) This was taken @5am. The animals all shared the "bed" in open paw fashion.... http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/rr22/HRG_photos/MISCELLANEOUS/home2.jpg That was the best moment of the entire visi...

We got a fair amount of snow yesterday.... I wish I could pack up a shovel full and send it to you you sotherners for Christmas but sadly it would melt in transit. Maggie LOVES the snow. Her favourite time is when I shovel the apartment complex which I did again yesterday. My wrist is still sore fro...

I have found 2 versions to this Christmas Carol Silent Night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright. Round yon virgin mother and child! Holy Infant so tender and mild, Sleep in Heavenly peace, Sleep in Heavenly peace Silent Night! Holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight! Radiant streams from heav...

The good news is (ironic good news that is) with the interest rates being so low if you do HAVE to tap into your 401k you wont be loosing a lot of interest.

Crystal I am in shock. I will pray for you. Remember your 401k money has to be paid back in 18 months or they will tax the beeves out of you.I did this with my 403b... big penalties.

This is what Christmas is all about... Pa never had much compassion for the lazy or those who squandered their means and then never had enough for the necessities. But for those who were genuinely in need, his heart was as big as all outdoors. It was from him that I learned the greatest joy in life ...

Anna always told me I could just make my own tortillas, this was my forst attempt I really wanted corn tortillas and I was disapointed to learn that you can NOT make them with CORN MEAL I am sure Mama knew that. You MUST have CORN FLOUR.... So my first tortillas EVER are of the wheat flour variety ...

.... I am overwhelmed right now. I am really emotional cause the new meds are starting to change my hormones, it sucks!! One minute I wanna pull my hair out, the next I wanna cry or laugh. It is driving me nutty. Any suggestions? Try some soy... I wouldn't want to do too much else at this point as ...
