Re: [RecipesAndMore] Recall Notice
This was good. I'm sharing it. Thanks for sending. Becky -- From: Alberta Hall amah...@frontiernet.net Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2010 8:32 AM To: delmascor...@googlegroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Recall Notice RECALL NOTICE: The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality, or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed. Some of the symptoms include: 1. Loss of direction 2. Foul vocal emissions 3. Amnesia of origin 4. Lack of peace and joy 5. Selfish or violent behavior 6. Depression or confusion in the mental component 7. Fearfulness 8. Idolatry 9. RebellionThe Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R. Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component. No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with: 1. Love 2. Joy 3. Peace 4. Pat ience 5. Kindness 6. Goodness 7. Faithfulness 8. Gentleness 9. Self control Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes. WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus. DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention! - GOD P.S.

Re: [RecipesAndMore] UNFOLDING THE ROSEBUD
This was good. Becky From: steve doyle Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 8:41 PM To: RecipesAndMore@googlegroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] UNFOLDING THE ROSEBUD UNFOLDING THE ROSEBUD A young, new preacher was walking with an older, more seasoned preacher in the garden one day and feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him to do, he was inquiring of the older preacher. The older preacher walked up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing off any petals. The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know the WILL OF GOD for his life and for his ministry. Because of his high respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to TRY to unfold the rose, while keeping every petal in tact...It wasn't long before he realized how it was impossible to do so. Noticing the younger preacher's inability to unfold the rosebud while keeping it in tact, the older preacher began to tell the following poem... UNFOLDING THE ROSEBUD It is only a tiny rosebud, A flower of GOD's design; But I cannot unfold the petals With these clumsy hands of mine. The secret of unfolding flowers Is not known to such as I. GOD opens this flower so sweetly, When in my hands they fade and die. If I cannot unfold a rosebud, This flower of GOD's design, Then how can I think I have wisdom To unfold this life of mine? So I'll trust in Him for His leading Each moment of every day. I will look to Him for His guidance Each step of the pilgrim way. The pathway that lies before me, Only my heavenly Father knows. I'll trust Him to unfold the moments, Just as He unfolds the rose. -- Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -- Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore

Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, chopped green pepper, olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc. Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes it. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it ! up. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed!

Good one. Thanks for sharing. Becky -- From: Sherri Crum sssmile...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2010 3:25 PM To: delmascor...@googlegroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] The 99 Club Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content. One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy. The King asked the servant, “Why are you so happy?” The man replied, “Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don’t need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies.” The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought the advice of his most trusted advisor. After hearing the King’s woes and the servant’s story, the advisor said, “Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of The 99 Club.” “The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?” the King inquired. The advisor replied, “Your Majesty, to truly know what The 99 Club is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant’s doorstep.” When the servant saw the bag, he took it into his house. When he opened the bag, he let out a great shout of joy... so many gold coins! He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins. He wondered, “What could’ve happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!” He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. Finally, exhausted, he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection. From that day, the servant’s life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped singing while he worked. Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he sought his advisor’s help, the advisor said, “Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club.” He continued, “The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they’re always yearning and striving for that extra 1 telling themselves: “Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.” We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute we're given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our growing needs and desires. That’s what joining The 99 Club is all about.” Have you joined the 99 club lately? -- Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -- Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore

Becky -- From: Sherri Crum sssmile...@gmail.com Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 3:33 PM To: RecipesAndMore@googlegroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] About the US Census I am certain that each are aware of the DO'S and Do NOT'S for the 2010 Census. You may wish to keep this as a quick reference, and for the younger recipients, may find this to be very useful. With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data. The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice: If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your home. Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information. Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census. REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS. While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau. AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION.. No Acorn worker should approach you saying he/she is with the Census Bureau. Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census. Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

In 1889 Raffaele Esposito, the most famous PIZZAIOLO (pizza chef) created a pie for Queen Margherita - tomato, basil and cheese, (to resemble the Italian flag) which remains the basis for American pizza.

Oh... Patty began a job as an elementary school counselor and she was eager to help. One day during recess she walked outside and noticed a girl standing by herself on one side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other. Patty approached and asked if she was all right. The girl said she was. A little while later, however, Patty noticed the girl was in the same spot, still by herself. Approaching again, Patty offered, Would you like me to be your friend? The girl hesitated, then said, Okay, looking at the woman suspiciously. Feeling she was making progress, Patty then asked, Why are you standing here all alone?

Now he's 97 years old and we don't know where he is. I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing. I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there. Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate. The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, 'Well, he looks good doesn't he?' If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country. I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years, just getting over the hill. We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads.

Re: [RecipesAndMore] Great Goals Make You Stretch!
Thanks for sending this. It was good. Becky From: steve doyle Sent: Saturday, January 16, 2010 9:45 AM To: recipesandmore@googlegroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Great Goals Make You Stretch! Great Goals Make You Stretch! I met my alternate self three months shy of my 40th birthday as I struggled with clinically-diagnosed depression. During this same period, I was challenged, immensely by the debilitating effects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and being rendered permanently partially disabled as the result of being involved in two car accidents in six days, neither of which was I at fault. I recall an incredible sense of emptiness and a daunting feeling of being completely overwhelmed; especially when trying to figure out which pills went with what ills. I was unable to return to the vocation I loved. That hurt more than my pain. Most of my time was spent in bed where I eventually became 48 pounds over-fat. When dreams and reasons for living are wiped out by the greatest, of the least unexpected, most people's priorities typically change. My priorities? Well, they just disappeared. I was defeated physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually and knocking on Financially's door. Making the bed was not a priority; it simply went unmade. And when it came down to paying the bills, many went unpaid. One day I was moved enough to actually cultivate the emotion of being fed up! During this awakening, I made the decision to reclaim complete responsibility for my life. And I did. 37 months post accident's, I went to work on my mind, body, and spirit. I studied, and applied everything that would enhance these areas. It wasn't long before I was 51 pounds lighter, and at least 52 times brighter. Following my awakening, I set goals to become an author, speaker, consultant, and educator. I quickly established myself in each discipline and began to promote and practice life-altering strategies. My approach was innovative, strategic, fun, proven and desired-results focused. Paramount to enhancing my personal energy level was to identify, outline and writing down my physical goals. Returning to playing competitive softball, being the team's starting short stop and winning the league championship were my top three goals. I promised myself I would return to play softball at a competitive level if it killed me. It almost did! Playing softball on several teams simultaneously left me limping around with a blue, pain-alleviating ointment. I had soreness in muscles I never even knew existed! Nevertheless, by season's end, I had accomplished all of my goals. I figured, if I could overcome all of my physical, spiritual and psychological ailments, discovered how to run faster; jump higher; throw farther; look younger, stay up longer, manifest twice as much energy than I did when I was a starting NCAA athlete half my age, anyone else can do the undoable, too! Whatever the undoable, may be. As I continued following a disciplined program to attain goals in every area of my life, something just short of magical happened. My personality sparked with a resurgence of charisma, confidence and boldness. My muscles grew stronger, my energy increased and the fat melted off my body. Taking part in an activity not only became easier, but quite enjoyable. Suddenly, I was living life as I had designed. Great goals make you stretch. They absolutely can take you well beyond anything you could possibly imagine! The most important part of setting great goals is not the goals themselves, but the person you become in the stretch. -- Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -- Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore

The child climbed up on his lap, Holding a picture of a little girl. Who is this? asked Santa, smiling. Your friend? Your sister?' Yes, Santa,' he replied. My sister, Sarah, who is very sick, he said sadly. Santa glanced over at the grandmother who was waiting nearby, and Saw her dabbing her eyes with a tissue. She wanted to come with me To see you, oh, so very much, Santa! the child exclaimed. She misses you, he added softly. Santa tried to be cheerful and encouraged a smile to the boy's face, Asking him what he wanted Santa to bring him for Christmas. When they finished their visit, the Grandmother came over to help The child off his lap, and started to say something to Santa, but Halted. What is it? Santa asked warmly. Well, I know it's really too much to ask you, Santa, but ... the Old woman began, shooing her grandson over to one of Santa's Elves to collect the little gift which Santa gave all his young visitors. The girl in the photograph... My granddaughter well, you see ... She has leukemia and isn't expected to make it even through the Holidays, she said through tear-filled eyes. Is there any way, Santa . Any possible way that you could come See Sarah? That's all she's asked for, for Christmas, is to see Santa. Santa blinked and swallowed hard and told the woman to leave Information with his elves as to where Sarah was, and he would see What he could do. Santa thought of little else the rest of that afternoon. He knew what he had to do. What if it were MY child lying in that hospital bed, dying, he Thought with a sinking heart, This is the least I can do. When Santa finished visiting with all the boys and girls that Evening, he retrieved from his helper the name of the hospital where Sarah was staying. He asked the assistant location manager how to Get to Children's Hospital. Why? Rick asked, with a puzzled look on his face. Santa relayed to him the conversation with Sarah's grandmother Earlier that day. C'mon.I'll take you there. Rick said softly. Rick drove them to the hospital and came inside with Santa. They found out which room Sarah was in. A pale Rick said he would Wait out in the hall. Santa quietly peeked into the room through the half-closed door and Saw little Sarah on the bed. The room was full of what appeared to be her family; there was the Grandmother and the girl's brother he had met earlier that day. A woman whom he guessed was Sarah's mother stood by the bed, Gently pushing Sarah's thin hair off her forehead. And another woman who he discovered later was Sarah's aunt, sat in A chair near the bed with a weary, sad look on her face. They were Talking quietly, and Santa could sense the warmth and closeness of The family, and their love and concern for Sarah. Taking a deep breath, and forcing a smile on his face, Santa entered The room, bellowing a hearty, Ho, ho, ho! Santa! shrieked little Sarah weakly, as she tried to escape her bed to run to him, IV Tubes intact. Santa rushed to her side and gave her a warm hug. A child the tender age of his own son -- 9 years old -- gazed up at Him with wonder and excitement. Her skin was pale and her short tresses bore telltale bald patches From the effects of chemotherapy. But all he saw when he looked At her was a pair of huge, blue eyes. His heart melted, and he had To force himself to choke back tears. Though his eyes were riveted upon Sarah's face, he could hear the Gasps and quiet sobbing of the women in the room. As he and Sarah began talking, the family crept quietly to the Bedside one by one, squeezing Santa's shoulder or his hand gratefully, Whispering Thank you as they gazed sincerely at him with shining eyes. Santa and Sarah talked and talked, and she told him excitedly all The toys she wanted for Christmas, assuring him she'd been a very good Girl that year. As their time together dwindled, Santa felt led in his spirit to pray for Sarah, and asked for permission from the girl's mother. She nodded in Agreement and the entire family circled around Sarah's bed, holding hands. Santa looked intensely at Sarah and asked her if she believed in Angels. Oh, yes, Santa... I do! she exclaimed. Well, I'm going to ask that angels watch over you. he said. Laying one hand on the child's head, Santa closed his eyes and prayed. He asked that God touch little Sarah, and heal her body from this disease. He asked that angels minister to her, watch and keep her.

This was good. Becky From: steve doyle Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 12:36 PM To: RecipesAndMore@googlegroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] The Happiest Day Of My Life The Happiest Day Of My Life It started innocently. Many years ago I worked in an office with large windows facing a busy overpass. I was standing by one of those windows one day when a woman in a passing car looked up and made eye contact. Naturally, I waved. A chuckle escaped my lips as she turned and tried to identify me. It was the beginning of a year of window antics. When things were slow, I would stand in the window and wave at the passengers who looked up. The strange looks made me laugh, and stress was washed away. Co-workers began to take an interest. They would stand out of view, watch the reactions I received, and laugh along. Late afternoon was the best time - rush-hour traffic filled the overpass with cars and commuter buses, and provided lots of waving material for the end-of-day routine. It didn't take long to attract a following - a group of commuters who passed the window every day and looked up at the strange, waving man. There was a man with a construction truck who would turn on his flashing yellow light and return my wave, the carpool crowd, and the business lady with her children fresh from day care. But my favorite was the transit bus from the docks that passed my window at 4:40 p.m. It carried the same group every day, and they became my biggest fans. After a while, waving became boring, so I devised ways to enhance my act. I made signs - Hi, Hello, Be Happy! - and posted them in the window and waved. I stood on the window ledge in various poses, created hats from paper and file-folders, made faces, played peek-a-boo by bouncing up from below the window ledge, stuck out my tongue, tossed paper planes in the air, and once went into the walkway over the street and danced while co-workers pointed to let my fans know I was there. I didn't know it then, but a bond was forming between my fans and me. It wasn't until the following spring that I discovered how close we had become. My wife and I were expecting our first child that spring, and I wanted the world to know. Less than a month before the birth, I posted a sign in the window, 25 DAYS UNTIL B DAY. My fans passed and shrugged their shoulders. The next day the sign read, 24 DAYS UNTIL B DAY. Each day the number dropped, and the passing people grew more confused. One day a sign appeared in the bus, What is B DAY? I just waved and smiled. Ten days before the expected date, the sign in the window read, 10 DAYS UNTIL BA DAY. Still the people wondered. The next day it read, 9 DAYS UNTIL BAB DAY, then 8 DAYS UNTIL BABY DAY, and my fans finally knew what was happening. By then, my following had grown to include 20 or 30 different buses and cars. Every night they watched to see if my wife had given birth. Excitement grew as the days counted down. My fans were disappointed when the count reached 0 without an announcement. The next day the sign read, BABY DAY 1 DAY LATE, and I pretended to pull out my hair. Each day the number changed, and the interest from passing cars grew. When my wife was 14 days overdue she went into labor, and the next morning our daughter was born. I left the hospital at 5:30 a.m., screamed my joy into the still morning air, and drove home to sleep. I got up at noon, showered, bought cigars, and appeared at my window in time for my fans. My co-workers were ready with a banner posted in the window: IT'S A GIRL! I wasn't alone that night. My co-workers joined me in celebration. We stood and waved our cigars in the air as every vehicle that passed acknowledged the birth of my daughter. Finally, the bus from the docks made its turn onto the overpass and began to climb the hill. When it drew close, I climbed onto the window ledge and clasped my hands over my head in a victory pose. The bus was directly in front of me when it stopped dead in heavy traffic, and every person on board stood with their hands in the air. Emotion choked my breathing as I watched the display of celebration for my new daughter. Then it happened: A sign popped up. It filled the windows and stretched half the length of the bus: CONGRATULATIONS! Tears formed in my eyes as the bus slowly resumed its journey. I stood in silence as it pulled from view.

[RecipesAndMore] Re: A Date With The Other Woman
This was good. It definitely got my attention. Becky From: steve doyle Sent: Monday, November 09, 2009 7:37 AM To: RecipesAndMore@googlegroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] A Date With The Other Woman A Date With The Other Woman After 21 years of marriage, I discovered a new way of keeping alive the spark of love. A little while ago I started to go out with another woman. It was really my wife's idea. I know you love her, she said one day, taking me by surprise. But I love YOU! I protested. I know, but you also love her. The other woman my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years. The demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night, I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. What's wrong, are you well, she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. I thought it would be pleasant to pass some time with you, I responded. Just the two of us. She thought about it for a moment, then said, I would like that very much. That Friday, after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the doorway with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, she said, as she got into the car. They can't wait to hear about our meeting. We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Halfway through the entree, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small, she said. Then it's time you relaxed and let me return the favor, I responded. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation, nothing extraordinary, just catching up on recent events of each other's lives. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you. I agreed and kissed her good night. How was your dinner date? asked my wife when I got home. Very nice. Much nicer than I could have imagined, I answered. A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: I paid this bill in advance. I was almost sure that I couldn't be there, but, never-the-less, I paid for two plates, one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant to me. I love you. At that moment, I understood the importance of saying, I LOVE YOU in time, and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than God and your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot always be put off to some other time. _ When You Thought I Wasn't Looking A message every adult should read because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say. When you thought I wasn't looking... I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't looking... I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn't looking... I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life. When you thought I wasn't looking... I heard you say a prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always talk to, and I learned to trust in Him. When you thought I wasn't looking... I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other. When you thought I wasn't looking... I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have to take care of what we are given. When you thought I wasn't looking... I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good, and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.. When you thought I wasn't looking... I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry. When you thought I wasn't looking... I saw that you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be. When you thought I wasn't looking... I learned most of life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive

[RecipesAndMore] Fw: God Loves You More Than You Love Yourself
Hi, guys. I get this little devotion in my inbox every day. I thought I would pass this one on. Becky -- From: A Devotion l...@adevotion.org Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 2:33 AM To: rebeccamann...@hotmail.com Subject: God Loves You More Than You Love Yourself God Loves You More Than You Love Yourself ROMANS 5:8 NKJ 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God has proven His love for you. So don't doubt it. What proves that God loves you more than you love yourself? He died in your place -- suffering the punishment for sin that you deserved, so you could go free. God was more willing to suffer Himself than to see you suffer. Of course, the devil constantly tries to get you to doubt that God loves you. That's why you must rely on what the Bible says -- not what your feelings or circumstances may tell you. You may think you don't love yourself -- maybe you think you hate yourself. Even if you don't think too highly of what you have done, you still love yourself in the sense that you desire the best for yourself. You don't desire pain or loss. So it is with God -- He desires good for you -- even more than you do. And He demonstrated at Calvary that He would put your interest before His own. 1 JOHN 4:16 NKJ 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. There are at least two reasons why God loves you so much. First, it is His nature to love. The Bible says that God is love. Love is the word that best describes God's nature. Second, you are His creation. God loves you just as good earthly parents love their offspring. People may not seem very special to others, but to their mother and father they are always special. This should help you understand how God could really like you -- even though you may not like yourself very much. Also, God sees you as you can be and will become -- not just as you are now. God has faith in you and in His ability to make you someone special. SAY THIS: I choose to believe what the Bible says: God loves me.

Stopping at a faucet near the mine entrance, he washed the worst of the grime from his face and hands, then headed towards his home on the outskirts of the village. As he trudged along the dusty lane, he passed the open door of a little church. Inside, a small crowd listened intently as an energetic man gesticulated from the pulpit. Interested, the miner stepped to the door. Absolute surrender is what we must have, the minister was saying. Are you willing to surrender yourself absolutely into His hand? If not, you are not ready to meet your God. The minister paced back and forth on the platform. We do not know how much longer our earthly probation will last. Tonight you are living; tomorrow may be too late. Ask yourself, I beg of you, 'Am I ready to meet the Lord?' The miner, touched to the quick, slipped into the back pew. I am not ready to meet God, he thought. I have lived a careless, godless life. How can I make peace with Him? The meeting ended, and the people filed out. Still the miner remained in the pew, his head in his hands. Finally, the minister touched him on the shoulder. Brother, are you ready to meet the Lord? Blindly, the miner shook his head. I know I am not. Oh, help me find peace! An hour passed as the minister shared the plan of salvation; yet something held the miner back from full surrender. It's getting late, the minister finally said. Go home, and continue to seek the Lord. The miner shook his head. Stay with me a little longer; it must be settled tonight. Once again the minister explained the way of salvation and prayed, but in vain. Another hour passed. You must go home, the minister told him. It's late, and I cannot make it any clearer. It must be settled tonight, the miner repeated, his eyes burning with earnestness. Then we shall stay here together, the minister agreed. Once more he spoke of Jesus, and shared promise after promise. Once more he prayed, but in vain. I must go, the minister finally said. It will soon be morning. Go home, and return tomorrow night. Maybe then you will find peace. Sir, I cannot leave this place until I find peace. The poor man's voice trembled. Tomorrow may be too late. It must be settled tonight. The minister could not resist his appeal. By the help of God. he said, it shall be settled tonight. Again he explained the steps of conversion; again he prayed. As he spoke, the miner broke into sobs and tears, and at last the light pierced his darkness. I see it! he cried. I give myself absolutely to God, to His will, to do only what He wants. It is settled. Praise His name, it is settled! The two men knelt again, but this time to thank God for bringing light to a sinner's soul. The next morning the miner went to work as usual. During the day he was sent to a distant part of the mine to fetch some tools. When he did not return, his fellow workers went to look for him. They found that the mine walls had caved in on him, and he was buried in the debris. Working with pick and shovel, they began to dig. Finally, from the fragments of rock and rubbish and stone which hid him from sight, came a faint sound: Tonight would have been too late.

During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE! They kept on walking, until they found an oasis where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE! The friend, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why? The other friend replied: When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away, but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone, where no wind can ever erase it.

[RecipesAndMore] Re: Lucy
A!!! This one brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sending it. Becky From: steve doyle Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 10:56 AM To: RecipesAndMore@googlegroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Lucy Lucy When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left devastated. Afterward, all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest. One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of a totally demolished mobile home, an anguished expression twisting her features. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Clutching at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear. The article that accompanied the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I taped the picture of the young family to our refrigerator, explaining their plight to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan. We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing, I said. We'll share what we have with them. I brought three large boxes down from the attic and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched solemnly as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and other nonperishable foods, soap and other assorted toiletries. While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up discarded toys and games. I'll help you find something for the little girl when I'm done with this, I said. The boys placed the toys they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, frazzled, much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat, painted-on-face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys. Oh, Honey, I said. You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much. Meghan nodded solemnly, eyes glistening with held-back tears. Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she'll make that other little girl happy, too. Swallowing hard, I stared at Meghan for a long moment, wondering how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me. For I suddenly realized that anyone can give their cast-offs away. True generosity is giving that which you cherish most. Honest benevolence is a three-year-old offering a treasured, albeit shabby doll to a little girl she doesn't know with the hope that it will bring this child as much pleasure as it brought her. I, who had wanted to teach, had been taught. The boys had watched, open-mouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box. Without a word, Brad rose and went to his room. He came back carrying one of his favorite action figures. He hesitated briefly, clutching the toy, then looked over at Meghan and placed it in the box next to Lucy. A slow smile spread across Brett's face, then he jumped up, eyes twinkling as he ran to retrieve some of his prized Matchbox cars. Amazed, I realized that the boys had also recognized what little Meghan's gesture meant. Swallowing back tears, I pulled all three of them into my arms. Taking the cue from my little one, I removed my old tan jacket with the frayed cuffs from the box of clothes. I replaced it with the new hunter green jacket that I had found on sale last week. I hoped the young woman in the picture would love it as much as I did. It's easy to give that which we don't want anymore, but harder to let go of something that we cherish, isn't it? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

Charles Plumb was a U. S. Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience! One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down! How in the world did you know that? asked Plumb. I packed your parachute, the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, I guess it worked! Plumb assured him, It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today. Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, I kept wondering what he had looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat, a bib in the back, and bellbottom trousers. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said Good morning, how are you? or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor. Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't know. Now, Plumb asks his audience, Who's packing your parachute? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. He also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory, he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety. Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason. As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachutes. I am sending you this as my way of thanking you for your part in packing my parachute! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

It's on the new paper you just hung in the den. I told him you'd be mad at having to do it again. She let out a moan and furrowed her brow, Where is your little brother right now? She emptied her arms and with a purposeful stride, She marched to his closet where he had gone to hide. She called his full name as she entered his room. He trembled with fear--he knew that meant doom! For the next ten minutes, she ranted and raved About the expensive wallpaper and how she had saved. Lamenting all the work it would take to repair, She condemned his actions and total lack of care. The more she scolded, the madder she got, Then stomped from his room, totally distraught! She headed for the den to confirm her fears. When she saw the wall, her eyes flooded with tears. The message she read pierced her soul with a dart. It said, I love Mommy, surrounded by a heart. Well, the wallpaper remained, just as she found it, With an empty picture frame hung to surround it.

Awww!! That is precious.!! Becky From: steve doyle Sent: Sunday, July 26, 2009 7:02 PM To: RecipesAndMore@googlegroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] What Is A Boy? What Is A Boy? Between the innocence of babyhood and the dignity of manhood, we find a delightful creature called a boy. Boys come in assorted sizes, weights and colors, but all boys have the same creed: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to protest with noise (their only weapon) when their last minute is finished and the adult males pack them off to bed at night. Boys are found everywhere, on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls ignore them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them, and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on his face. Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket. When you are busy a boy is an inconsiderate, bothersome, intruding jangle of noise. When you want him to make an impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a savage, sadistic, jungle creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it. A boy is a composite, he has the appetite of a horse, the digestion of a sword swallower, the energy of a pocket-size atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the lungs of a dictator, the imagination of a Paul Bunyan, the shyness of a violet, the audacity of a steel trap, the enthusiasm of a fire cracker, and when he makes something he has five thumbs on each hand. He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, the boy across the street, woods, water, in its natural habitat, large animals, Dads, trains, Saturday mornings and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday school, company, school, books without pictures, music lessons, neck ties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime. None else is so early to rise or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs and breezes. Nobody else can cram in one pocket-a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, three feet of string, an empty Bull Durham sack, two gum drops, six cents, a sling shot, a chunk of unknown substance and a genuine supersonic ring with a secret compartment. A boy is a magical creature, you can lock him out of your kitchen, but you can't lock him out of your heart. You can get him out of your study, but not out of your mind. Might as well give up, he is your captor, your jailer, your boss and your master. A freckled-faced, pint-sized, cat-chasing bundle of noise. When you come home at night with only the shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them all like new with the two magic words, Hi MOM! _ What is a girl? Little girls are the nicest things that happen to people. They are born with a little bit of angel shine about them and though it wears thin sometimes, there is always enough left to lasso your heart, even when they are sitting in the mud, or crying temperamental tears, or parading up the street in mother's best clothes. A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth, she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot. Girls are available in five colors, black, white, red, yellow, or brown, yet Mother Nature always manages to select your favorite color when you place your order. They disprove the law of supply and demand, there are millions of little girls, but each is as precious as rubies. God borrows from many creatures to make a little girl. He uses the song of a bird, the squeal of a pig, the stubbornness of a mule, the antics of a monkey, the spryness of a grasshopper, the curiosity of a cat, the speed of a gazelle, the slyness of a fox, the softness of a kitten, and to top it all off, He adds the mysterious mind of a woman. A little girl likes new shoes, party dresses, small animals, first grade, noise makers, the girl next door, dolls, make-believe, dancing lessons, ice cream, kitchens, coloring books, make-up, cans of water, going visiting, tea parties and one boy. She doesn't care much for visitors, boys in general, large dogs, hand-me-downs, straight chairs, vegetables, snow suits, or staying in the front yard. She is loudest when you are thinking, the prettiest when she has provoked you, the busiest at bed time, the quietest when you want to show her off and the most flirtatious when she absolutely must not get the best of you again. Who else can cause you more grief, joy, irritation, satisfaction, embarrassment, and genuine delight that this combination of Eve, Salome, and Florence Nightengale? She can muss up your home, your hair, and

In the passenger seat is Greg Jannaman, who led the student team within the mechanical engineering department during the past year, and is monitoring the software of the vehicle. Credit: Steven Mackay, Virginia Tech A student team in the Virginia Tech College of Engineering is providing the blind with an opportunity many never thought possible: The opportunity to drive. A retrofitted four-wheel dirt buggy developed by the Blind Driver Challenge team (http://www.me.vt.edu/blinddriver/) from Virginia Tech's Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory uses laser range finders, an instant voice command interface and a host of other innovative, cutting-edge technology to guide blind drivers as they steer, brake, and accelerate. Although in the early testing stage, the National Federation of the Blind -- which spurred the project -- considers the vehicle a major breakthrough for independent living of the visually impaired. It was great! said Wes Majerus, of Baltimore, the first blind person to drive the buggy on a closed course at the Virginia Tech campus this summer. Majerus is an access technology specialist with the National Federation of the Blind's Jernigan Institute in Baltimore, a research and training institute dedicated to developing technologies and services to help the blind achieve independence. Majerus called his drive a liberating experience, adding that he drove before on Nebraska farm roads with his father as a guide in the passenger seat. Sitting inside the vehicle, a blind driver can turn the steering wheel, stop and accelerate by following data from a computing unit that uses sensory information from the laser range finder serving as the 'eyes' of the driver, in addition to a combination of voice commands and a vibrating vest as guides. A member of the Virginia Tech student team sat next to Majerus in the passenger seat to monitor the system's software operations. It's a great first step, Majerus added. As far as the differences between human instructions and those given by the voice in the Blind Driver Challenge car, the car's instructions are very precise. You use the technology to act on the environment -- the driving course -- in a very orderly manner. In some cases, the human passenger will be vague, turn left -- does that mean just a small turn to the left, or are we going for large amounts of turn? Also driving the vehicle was Mark Riccobono, also of Baltimore, the executive director of the Jernigan Institute, who also is blind. He called his test drive historic. This is sort of our going to the moon project, he said In 2004 Jernigan Institute challenged university research teams to develop a vehicle that would one day allow the blind to drive. Virginia Tech was the only university in the nation to accept the nonprofit's call two years later, said Dennis Hong, director of the Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory, part of the Virginia Tech mechanical engineering department. The National Federation of the Blind provided a $3,000 grant to launch the project. I thought it would be a very rewarding project, helping the blind, said Hong, the current faculty adviser on the project. We are not only excited about the vehicle itself, but more than that, we are excited about the potential of the many spin-off technologies from this project that can be used for helping the blind in so many ways. The team will bring the Blind Driver Challenge vehicle to the National Federation of the Blind's Youth Slam summer camp event held July 26 through Aug. 1 in College Park, Md. There, the team hopes to have teenagers who would be obtaining their driver's licenses, but cannot because of their blindness, drive the buggy. Wesley Majerus, an access technology specialist with the National Federation of the Blind’s Jernigan Institute, finishes driving the Virginia Tech Blind Driver Challenge vehicle around a roped-off driving course on a campus parking lot. The experience, he said, was liberating. Youth participants also are expected to remote control drive miniature cars. Additionally, the car is expected to ride in a National Federation of the Blind-sponsored parade in Washington D.C. I most look forward to learning as much as I can from these bright young students, said Greg Jannaman, who led the Virginia Tech student

So that's it. I'll probably start the eggs etc. for the salad early in the day and while they are cooking--along with the pasta--chop up my vegetables.

Vacuuming too often weakens the carpet fibers. Say this with a serious face, and shudder delicately whenever anyone mentions Carpet Fresh. 2. Dust bunnies can evolve into dust rhinos when disturbed. Rename the area under the couch The Galapagos Islands and claim an ecological exemption. 3. Layers of dirty film on windows and screens provide a helpful filter against harmful and aging rays from the sun. Call it an SPF factor of 5 and leave it alone. 4. Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduces the glare from the bulb, thereby creating a romantic atmosphere. If your significant other points out that the light fixtures need dusting, simply look affronted and exclaim, What? And spoil the mood? 5. In a pinch, you can always claim that the haphazard tower of unread magazines and newspapers next to your chair provides the valuable Feng Shui aspect of a tiger, thereby reducing your vulnerability. Roll your eyes when you say this. 6. Explain the mound of pet hair brushed up against the doorways by claiming you are collecting it there to use for stuffing hand sewn play animals for underprivileged children. 7. If unexpected company is coming, pile everything unsightly into one room and close the door. As you show your guests through your tidy home, rattle the door knob vigorously, fake a growl and say, I'd love you to see our Den, but Fluffy hates to be disturbed and the shots are SO expensive. 8. If dusting is REALLY out of control, simply place a showy urn on the coffee table and insist that THIS is where Grandma wanted us to scatter her ashes... 9. Don't bother repainting. Simply scribble lightly over a dirty wall with an assortment of crayons, and try to muster a glint of tears as you say, Junior did this the week before that unspeakable accident... I haven't had the heart to clean it... 10. Mix one-quarter cup pine-scented household cleaner with four cups of water in a spray bottle. Mist the air lightly. Leave dampened rags in conspicuous locations. Develop an exhausted look, throw yourself onto the couch, and sigh, I clean and I clean and I still don't get anywhere...

Cracked Cheesecake Slice the cake in the kitchen before serving, or top with sliced berries or your favorite jam mixed with 1 tablespoon of liqueur to make it more spreadable. Allow the topping to seep into the crack, then add more topping to even the surface. To reduce cracks, place a pan of water on the oven rack below the cheesecake while it is baking. Overbeaten Egg Whites Stir in 1 extra egg white for each 5 you have already beaten. Beat until the whites are of the texture required for the recipe. Remove about 1/4 cup to correct for the extra white. Meat Too Dry Melt 1/2 stick of butter and mix with gravy or the pan drippings. Slice the meat thinly, place in a shallow baking dish, and smother with the mixture. Cover with foil and place in a 200°F oven for 10 minutes, then serve. Lumpy Gravy Pour the gravy through a mesh strainer. To avoid lumps, combine the thickening agent (flour, cornstarch, arrowroot) with enough liquid to make a paste, then whisk the paste into the hot liquid to evenly distribute it. Soup Too Salty Add 2 raw, chopped potatoes to the soup, cook for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove. Honey can also help even out a salty taste, or adding more of the other ingredients. To avoid oversalting the soup, season it just before serving. Sauce Too Thick Whisk in broth (chicken, beef, or vegetable) until the sauce reaches the desired thickness, or pour the sauce through a strainer. Sauce Too Thin Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to some water. Create a paste, then whisk it into the sauce. Adding dry cornstarch directly to the sauce will create lumps. If you are making a tomato-based sauce, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of concentrated tomato paste and stir to evenly distribute. Sauce Too Garlicky Remove any visible garlic pieces using a slotted spoon or handheld strainer, then add honey to balance the flavor. Brown Sugar Is Hardened Place hard brown sugar in a microwave-proof dish and cover with a couple of damp paper towels. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then check to see if the sugar has softened, carefully removing and setting aside partially loosened sugar with a fork and re-microwaving still-hard clumps. Repeat as necessary, watching closely to make sure the sugar does not melt. Wilted Lettuce Fill your sink with warm water. Submerge the lettuce for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove from the water. Dry the lettuce with a salad spinner or paper towels, cover the lettuce with a damp towel, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Soufflé Collapses Cover the top with whipped cream or a very thin layer of chocolate pudding, and serve baked pudding. To prevent a soufflé from collapsing, use room-temperature beaten eggs, never open the oven door while the soufflé is baking, and place the soufflé on the lower oven rack to give it room to expand. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[RecipesAndMore] Re: HOW TO SURVIVE IF YOU HIT A BEEHIVE
Thanks for sending this. Becky -- From: Delma dbl...@centurytel.net Sent: Friday, April 24, 2009 1:36 PM To: RecipesAndMore RecipesAndMore@googlegroups.com; OurKitchenTable2 ourkitchentab...@yahoogroups.com; JanetsKitchen janetskitc...@yahoogroups.com Subject: [RecipesAndMore] HOW TO SURVIVE IF YOU HIT A BEEHIVE HOW TO SURVIVE IF YOU HIT A BEEHIVE Get ready to act as soon as you realize that you have hit a hive. Striking a hive or nest with a ball or club will likely provoke a strong defensive response from the bees. Do not swat. Never swat at honeybees or wasps. Swatting may incite them to sting when they otherwise had no intention of doing so. Run from the nest. Bees and wasps can fly faster than you can run. However, the farther you get from the nest, the less likely they will be to follow you.When you are stung by a bee or wasp, you are marked with an alarm pheromone and other bees and wasps will continue the attack in response to the chemical. The intensity of the attack will continue to increase if you do not continue fleeing the hive area. Extremely defensive colonies may pursue you for half a mile. Cover your face and head with your shirt or jacket. Bees and wasps usually focus their attack on the head and face.While running, pull your shirt or jacket up over your head, leaving only a small slit to see where you are going. A honeybee will lose its stinger and die once it stings, but a wasp can sting multiple times. How to Avoid Being Stung Do not wear body fragrances such as scented creams, perfumes, and after-shave lotions. They may attract bees, and may incite an attack. Do not blow at or near a hive; bee and some wasp colonies react defensively to mammalian breath. Look for head-butting. Extremely defensive honey bee colonies will have a few bees patrolling the immediate vicinity of the nest.When approached they will begin to head-butt you in an effort to encourage you to leave. If this occurs, leave the area immediately. Be Aware Honeybee colonies are commonly located in dark cavities in buildings, water valve boxes, and utility equipment, as well as in ground holes and cavities in trees. Usually the small entrance hole is all that is visible. Honeybee colonies are perennial, while wasp colonies develop in the spring and die in the fall. Both wasp and bee colonies reach their population zenith during the summer months. Vibrations from a golf cart may elicit a defensive reaction from the hive or nest. A swarm of honeybees may settle on a tree branch or on the overhang of a structure. These bees are looking for a new home, and such swarms are not usually defensive. Run for cover. Find the nearest enclosure: a car with the windows rolled up or a building are both good options. Do not jump into water. The bees will orient to your air bubbles on the surface and will remain there, stinging you each time you come up for air. If You Are Stung . When you reach safety, quickly remove all the stingers by scraping them out with your fingernails, a credit card, or whatever is handy. Use a sideways motion; do not pinch the area. Seek medical attention if you have multiple stings. If you attempt to hide in a water hazard, the bees will hover above until you surface. Wasp colonies are usually much smaller than those of bees, and their paper nests are often exposed, leaving them more easily disturbed. Some wasp species build large enclosed nests that hang from tree branches.

Dee - Original Message - From: steve doyle To: RecipesAndMore@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 7:16 AM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] THE SMELL OF RAIN THE SMELL OF RAIN A cold March wind danced around the dead of night in Dallas as the doctor walked into the small hospital room of Diana Blessing. Still groggy from surgery, her husband David held her hand as they braced themselves for the latest news. That afternoon of March 10, 1991, complications had forced Diana, only 24-weeks pregnant, to undergo an emergency cesarean to deliver the couple's new daughter, Danae Lu Blessing. At 12 inches long and weighing only one pound and nine ounces, they already knew she was perilously premature. Still, the doctor's soft words dropped like bombs. I don't think she's going to make it, he said, as kindly as he could. There's only a 10-percent chance she will live through the night, and even then, if by some slim chance she does make it, her future could be a very cruel one. Numb with disbelief, David and Diana listened as the doctor described the devastating problems Danae would likely face if she survived. She would never walk; she would never talk; she would probably be blind; she would certainly be prone to other catastrophic conditions from cerebral palsy to complete mental retardation; and on and on. No! No! was all Diana could say. She and David with their 5-year-old son Dustin, had long dreamed of the day they would have a daughter to become a family of four. Now, within a matter of hours, that dream was slipping away. Through the dark hours of morning as Danae held onto life by the thinnest thread. Diana slipped in and out of drugged sleep, growing more and more determined that their tiny daughter would live and live to be a healthy, happy young girl. But David, fully awake and listening to additional dire details of their daughter's chances of ever leaving the hospital alive, much less healthy, knew he must confront his wife with the inevitable. David walked in and said that we needed to talk about making funeral arrangements, Diana remembers, I felt so bad for him because he was doing everything, trying to include me in what was going on, but I just wouldn't listen, I couldn't listen. I said, No, that is not going to happen, no way! I don't care what the doctors say. Danae is not going to die! One day she will be just fine, and she will be coming home with us! As if willed to live by Diana's determination, Danae clung to life hour after hour, with the help of every medical machine and marvel her miniature body could endure but as those first days passed, a new agony set in for David and Diana. Because Danae's underdeveloped nervous system was essentially raw, the lightest kiss or caress only intensified her discomfort - so they couldn't even cradle their tiny baby girl against their chests to offer the strength of their love. All they could do, as Danae struggled alone beneath the ultra-violet light in the tangle of tubes and wires, was to pray that God would stay close to their precious little girl. There was never a moment when Danae suddenly grew stronger. But as the weeks went by, she did slowly gain an ounce of weight here and an ounce of strength there. At last, when Danae turned two months old, her parents were able to hold her in their arms for the very first time. And two months later though doctors continued to gently but grimly warn that her chances of surviving, much less living any kind of normal life, were next to zero. Danae went home from the hospital, just as her mother had predicted. Today, five years later, Danae is a petite but feisty young girl with glittering gray eyes and an unquenchable zest for life. She shows no signs, whatsoever, of any mental or physical impairments. Simply, she is everything a little girl can be and more but that happy ending is far from the end of her story. One blistering afternoon in the summer of 1996 near her home in Irving, Texas, Danae was sitting in her mother's lap in the bleachers of a local ball park where her brother Dustin's baseball team was practicing. As always, Danae was chattering non-stop with her mother and several other adults sitting nearby when she suddenly fell silent. Hugging her arms across her chest, Danae asked, Do you smell that? Smelling the air and detecting the approach of a thunderstorm, Diana replied, Yes, it smells like rain. Danae closed her eyes and again asked, Do you smell that? Once again, her mother
