She got three responses.

1.  Corn.  (Yeah, that one was just so unexpected.)
2.  Iowa is a desolate and depressing place.
3.  My friend from there told me Iowa is an acronym for
    Idiots Only Wandering Around.

Another Food Observation (on life)

And another thing.... Am I the only one who HATES when other people post pictures of FOOD on Facebook?

What type of result, response, or reaction are they trying to receive by this behavior anyway?   For my part, all I can come up with are negative outcomes or responses in the viewers.

1 ) The picture is awful, and ( Read more... )

Inappropriate Eating - an odd observation

Watching a law show on Hulu right now, and 2 defense lawyers are discussing strategy about a murder case at a restaurant.  Has anyone ever thought how WEIRD this is in our society nowadays?   Not just law issues, but big business deals, breakups, plots to kill someone - all taking place at Applebee's or ( Read more... )

It's truly a Star-Spangled Day today !!

Seems a fitting time for me to post my favorite fourth stanza of our National Anthem.  This last verse has the most meaning of all of them !

O! Thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation.

Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power ( Read more... )

 Improvement?

So I managed to cook a meal today - without burning one single calorie of food !   Saints be praised !  (Do they have particular saints for this ?)   And I didn't even burn the 2 pans !   TWO pans !   That's complex !    And today, since I didn't use the toaster oven with its hot glass door - too close to the plastic bread bag - I didn ( Read more... )

The Personal Marching Band

I was enjoying a few funny pranks on YouTube from the TV show JustForLaughsTV, when I stumbled up on this one.   It's harmless and funny, and wouldn't cause anyone a fright, like some of theirs.   But as I was watching it, I was impressed (or rather NOT impressed) with the inadequacy of the ( Read more... )

God's Violence - OT

I've been mulling about in my admittedly feeble brain, the Old Testament historical accounts of the numerous wars the Israelites engaged in before reaching the Promised Land.   Like many other people, I've never been very comfortable with what seemed like excessive violence, and complete genocide, and more horrified to read about ( Read more... )
