My Own Thoughts

We played outside games this week. Here’s how class went. Drew map of Mediterranean area Discussed Alexander the Great (376 BC), in regard to conquering Greece, heading to Persia, dying of malaria. Also discussed in terms of the Festival of Lights. Punic Wars 1-3 from Kidipedia. I. Carthage is on island near Africa with one [...]

E wrote this in 2002. Wings of flight are just right for birds and angels!

and the reward: “At 175 R and both boys go with me for one bike ride in the next week. The boys would only ride 15 minutes each. The boys would also lift weights with me once.” So that’s where I am now. My bigger clothes are fitting better now.

Discovery Archaeology has an article on fire fishing from ancient times. The New Testament mentions the men fishing all night and finding no fish, then Jesus commanding them to cast their nets back in and the boats almost floundering (no pun intended) from so many fish. Fishermen around areas mentioned in the New Testament worked [...]

We’re hardwired that way according to Live Science. And it isn’t limited to adults. It starts in girls as young as three.

50 years of history in pictures and music. Very fun theft of Billy Joel and 120 google images to match.

A heart becomes heavy when it is carrying bad news around. A friend of mine knew that her finances were difficult. Her husband had made some bad investments and they’d been forced to take a small second mortgage on the house to tide them over. That was over a year ago. Just this last week [...]

Physicists argue parallel universes do exist.

Yes, that’s slow for a car, but today I went the whole 10 miles, after getting lost a few times, and got home in an hour. Now if I can only do that for fifteen hours in two days, I’ll be ready for the MS150. I’m not ready yet for sure.

Most people in the country have to worry about high cholesterol. (My hubby’s is over 300.) But mine is very low. Having researched side effects of low cholesterol quickly for Mary, I learned that some of my fogginess, lack of concentration, and lower brain function might be because of my low cholesterol. So, how do [...]

check out the side effects. I had someone comment on my blog here asking if their low cholesterol could cause muscular and skeletal pain. I’m not an MD, but I can surf the net with the best of them. I looked it up. No was the answer to her question. BUT she’s taking a drug [...]

but shouldn’t everyone get one if they’re caught speeding? Even police officers and their families? I think so. Apparently lots of cops don’t. Cops Writing Cops, which I found via TFS Magnum.

I was searching through the online directory for my denomination. Many of our churches do not appear to have a church email address. Some of them are clearly the preacher’s address. But one was a hotmail account, which always strikes me as strange, and one was a “viagrafix.com” address. Very weird.

See a comedian sing a mother’s lines in 2.55 minutes. Except she left out, “Don’t touch your brother.” and “Leave your brother alone.”

In the last six weeks I’ve lost ten pounds. That would be way more impressive if it weren’t for the fact that the ten weeks before that is when I gained those ten pounds. Now I’m back where I was for over a year and a half. And I’m trying to go down. I looked [...]

and I still don’t think it is in general. Remember the eight doctors in the UK? But apparently some low level fighters may, in fact, be fighting because it’s a job when they don’t have one. If you want to see why I think so, and how the US is working to turn that around, [...]

A Swedish gardener digs up thousand year old coins. 69 so far, including some from Iraq, Germany, and Uzbekistan. Vikings plundered lots of folks.

Medical News Today says that restricting your calorie intake actually causes your body to stay alive longer. Apparently eating less, or eating nothing at all for fasts of 48 hours, causes production of anti-aging compounds. So if you want to live longer, you can eat less. I want to live longer. I am presently trying [...]

Church loses tax-exempt status for property because it refused homosexuals the right to marry there. Read it at Life Site. What happened to the “We don’t care about the churches we just want the same legal rights as heterosexuals” that the gay-lesbian alliance used to shout? Guess it “changed” once they found out that the [...]

Oh man! Now we have to clean the house. Wouldn’t want Lyn to think we live in a disaster area. Even when we do.
