Quote of the day...

" I read an interesting article about playing in the sandbox! Let me share a couple of thoughts. There is a tremendous amount of pressure as we grow older to learn to act our age (whatever that means). In fact, most people consider age a number not an indication of vitality, health or maturity.
When children play together in the same sandbox:
. They learn to trust each other.
. Their ability to be gentle, kind and considerate are developed.
. Friendships are initiated and nurtured.
. Positive interaction increases and selfishness decreases.
. They find creative ways to work together, satisfying their curiosity &
increasing their enjoyment and fun.
What if we put ourselves back in the sandbox….at work or at home? One such childlike behavior is learning how to develop relationships with others through experiences in the same sandbox that teach us how to cooperate, exchange ideas, and communicate. We willingly let down our guards and shift our mindsets to try new and fresh ways of doing our tasks. We get an energy boost that results from experimentation, creativity, innovation and learning new skills. Celebrate every accomplishment…no matter how small. Share your creative ideas. Have FUN on a daily basis….If you are looking for it……you will find it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower quote: “Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness. consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.” With all the political/financial stuff going on….I needed a minor adjustment.
Have a fun month……Good health and our very best wishes! "

(I received this in the monthly Shaklee newsletter, I liked it and thought I would share.)

After much deliberation on how exactly to respond to the last post, as the moderator and creator of this blog I have decided to remove it.

This is not out of anger or spite, just simply because this is **not** a private blog and there are many guests whom we know and don't know that come here to visit.

It is my opinion that any complaints or hurt feelings that need to be addressed should be done on an individual basis via telephone, email or whatever means anyone one finds necessary with the exception of this blog.

This blog was created for fun, family and friends not for arguing, insulting, name calling etc. I am not saying that the last post did that in any way I am saying that things could end up going in that direction.

It is much too hard to detect tone and feeling behind words that are written back and forth.

Peace to all...

Goodnight.

What is in the air????????????????

Is it DINO BREATH that is in the air?????

hee hee...

The Kane County , Illinois , Sheriff's Department orders plain white patrol units and has the graphics applied locally. In this case, what they ordered was not quite what they got. This car was driven for 1 week before an officer noticed what the graphics company employee did on the passenger side of the car The employee did this on his last day working for the graphics company before he retired.

A Little History Lesson...

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

Here are some facts about the 1500s:

~~~

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.

Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

~~~

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water.

The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children.

Last of all the babies.

By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.

Hence the saying, Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water..

~~~

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath.

It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof.

When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying .

It's raining cats and dogs.

~~~

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house..

This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed.

Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

~~~

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt.

Hence the saying, Dirt poor.

~~~

The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway.

Hence the saying a thresh hold.

~~~

(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

~~~

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot.

They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat.

They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day.

Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while.

Hence the rhyme, Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old..

~~~

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special.

When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off.

It was a sign of wealth that a man could, bring home the bacon.

They would cut off a little to share with guests and would

all sit around and chew the fat..

~~~

Those with money had plates made of pewter.

Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

~~~

Bread was divided according to status.

Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

~~~

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky.

The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them

for dead and prepare them for burial.

They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait

and see if they would wake up.

Hence the custom of holding a wake.

~~~

England is old and small and the local folks

started running out of places to bury people.

So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a

bone-house, and reuse the grave.

When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive.

So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse,

lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in

the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell;

thus, someone could be, saved by the bell

or was considered a ..dead ringer..

~~~

And that's the truth...Now, whoever said History was boring ! ! !
