The Magnesium produces 102 mph of airflow. Wow 102 mph that'll work :D Hubs told me today to do some research on some vacuums because we are in dire need.

I think it's great you're doing this because "parenting" has sadly become a lost art EVEN in Christendom. My youngest is now a junior in college, but may I take a minute to just remind those who are like me with children pretty much out of the home or even single people that we all can be "good parents" to any children we have contact with by keeping our testimony and "life" in front of them in line with the Scriptures. We're all under microscopes, and they're all taking it in so to God be the glory for producing more little Christ-like children then adults because of His grace in our lives.

We're golf fanatics; so it is especially WONDERFUL when we find out about their "personal" lives especially when we find out that they love the LORD and want to serve Him as much as we do. BECAUSE we're golf fanatics, our heart is that each one who is a follower of Christ will be the testimony they should be in order to be an avenue that other golfers will also accept Christ as their Lord and Savior! oh, and AMEN!

Cute-Cute! :-)

Put me down for both--Modesty and shape-ups :~) but don't hold your breath on VS caving #justsayin ;~)

I already have you bookmarked, ;) but now bookmarked the Holiday Recipe Guide--thanks for the link!!

Me too!! Me too!! Big fan!! Looks like a great cd and will be buying it if I don't win it--did I just disqualify myself? LOL!

I posted this on my FB page to get comments as well--saw it on Bonnie Hunt's FB page first and seriously there's an uproar out there on it . . . thankfully! Hubs said, "UGLY!" Friend's 18 year old son said, "Way too skinny." Brother the geek said, "Photoshopped by an anorexic." I could stand to lose some weight (some is a relative term donchaknow) but nothing would compel me to run out and buy any of whatever it is they're trying to sell, the bod, the clothes, the way too big head!!

Sorry for the wince part :) On insanity reigns . . . SERIOUSLY!!

Such a fun read . . . but powerful. I like the powerful--what are parents thinking? Or they're obviously not. :( Having three sons (and a husband for that matter) it's hard to even go out in public without being "accosted w/temptation." Thank you for making me feel like I'm not a lone "concerned mama" out there. So glad others feel the same way. Ally fainted on the mail slot--I'm fainting on the DEBIT Card--even I'm not THAT hard up for cra- . . .er cash!! On another note, have you seen the new Ralph Lauren ad? Bonnie Hunt posted it on her facebook page--low rise jeans on an anorexic. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/photo.php?pid=2866741&id=25313536937 I hope it was photoshopped, the head was way to big for the body--but somebody probably had that body. So scary. Sorry for length--had the "body suits" as well :) Made restroom trips a little tedious in school days, I'll tell ya!

LOL, been there, done that THRICE!! By the time the third one went through it, he got his driver's license, and a month later was taking solo trips to other states--who'da thunk!! We were a little more stringent with the oldest two. So . . . it got easier for us . . . the oldest two are 23 months apart and then youngest is 7 years younger so by then we weren't adding gray hairs, we were SUBTRACTING them :0

You're right; I had NO IDEA. It's unfathomable and my heart breaks for them. God bless those who are giving of themselves to help these precious souls. Maybe because of the caring of this mission group, God will replace those awful chiggers with His redeeming love and grace, and they will come to know Him in a personal and everlasting way for that cleansing is just as needed as the de-chiggering.

One word: PRECIOUS!!

Kerfuffle is an Anne of Green Gables word! (yell-clap) "A fool uttereth all his mind: but the wise keep it in until afterwards." Proverbs 29:11 (KJV because that version best fits the subject today--but it's really supposed to be about anger and temper--so just pretend! :) ) I'm not sure when "afterwards" is (lol)====> we'll leave that up to the "interpreter." ;) My favorite word to use is beautimous. It's not real though--My BFF and I have been saying it 4-ever and I've seen it used a time or two in the land of El Bloggo/Internetsville. If I had to pick a real word--languish (another AofGG word) and I've always liked the word obsequious because I had to spell it once in a spelling contest--(and I guessed rightly) it's not exactly definitive of me . . . although I'm tryin' ! ;)

I'm so glad you said something about snakes in this scareyspider post so I would know better than to scroll down LOL!!! Total Yucksville! I'm practically positive the name of that spider is creepazoid mono-slime-apod

Always thought Lincoln Logs and Play dough were the coolest :) And kaleidoscopes--loved those though they weren't really a toy per se, maybe. One thing that I always wanted but we weren't "rich" enough (lol) was that view finder with all those cool circular slides. Some of my friends had them and I really wanted one--maybe I did get one or did I get it for my own kids? hmmmm half-heimers kicking in again--can't remember.

I'd like to live in THAT neighborhood! Mayberry RULES! LOL on the extra 10 lbs. way tooooo funny!

What Dawn said!! :) I'd only change one thing and not use the "d***" in front of reckless :) (lol) Even though we try to live in a world of "everything goes" that is not the Biblical way.

Oh--did I say I WAS as in past tense? --Silly me--still AM a lover of all things teensy!

Great read --> as per ALWAYS :) I was an eensy-teensy-philiac as well :) LOVED all things small--even when my children (all boys) rec'd toys I was drawn to those little eensy-teensy trucks and cars--MICRO machines!!! Loved 'em--I think they did too . . . which was good (lol). One of my mom's many best friend's threw a wedding shower for me a gazillion years ago--I was in SC and they were in WI so they had the shower w/out me--and had a blast doing it! They brought their presents, wrapped them together, taped the devotional, ate (of course!!!) and then sent it all in a big box--mom's BF gave me a teensy card and teensy other stuff remembering how much I loved all things EENSY! That was soooo precious! :) Thanks for always drawing up such wonderful memories. BEAUTIMOUS Pics btw--so glad you took them so I don't have to get back in an airplane to see them--I shall leave that to you :)

This is going to be my next surprise dinner for my soon to be college bound son who ADORE's Vidalia onions, and I adore him so perfectomundo!! I've never heard of Vidalia Onion Pie but alas this looks TOTAL YUMMSVILLE!! Gonna try your perfect pie crust as well! And Oh goody!! more fun recipes to try "Tea Time at the Masters," and Rachel, and I adore Paula Deen's recipes, and . . . and . . . and!
