Eggs. Victorian Ladies. and the American Way.

The incredible edible egg. I like eggs but they are not so wonderful for me. I love em poached, fried, scrambled, hard boiled, soft boiled, and in egg salad. But I buy my eggs. I get the brown ones that are organic and cage free. When I go to the Farmer's Market next week I'll look for some that are colored and try them. Do they have yolks that match the shells?

Recently a blogger that I read once in a while said she received eggs from a member of her husbands congregation in lieu of bringing an offering. How wonderful she said it was to get them for her home. Uh, did they count the value of the egg in their salary estimates? Why didn't she share the eggs with a soup kitchen or homeless shelter? Nope. She kept the entire dozen to herself. She perhaps thought that a dozen eggs wouldn't be much to a kitchen, but they would help making cornbread, regular bread, cakes, cookies and other things. She is one of the self absorbed adoring Victoriana's of the internet. I once pointed out to her the crassness of this, as ladies who leisured had servants as young as 8 downstairs toiling to make upstairs comfortable. This of course is not discussed. Child labor? Unthinkable. Women working? Well who the hell were the ladies maids? People who volunteered to serve? Who sewed the lovely dresses and made the lace to adorn the hats of the ladies who lunched? Not the ladies to be sure.

I'm off to the house of Costco this afternoon. Hopefully before the rain comes down. Then I am here to read to my books from a new publisher (to me). I'm reading about dying. Morbid. No. It's about how we've basically erased the culture of death that was normal for so many years. People weren't unaccustomed to death. They had family at home and they died at home (now hospice is bringing some of that back). Caskets sat in living rooms. Friends and neighbors came to reminisce and offer condolences, bring food and offer support. Now the dying for the most part in America are in sterile hospital rooms surrounded by nurses, doctors and various sundry staff, attached to machines to monitor the least of functions. We ache to prolong the life experience so that we don't lose those that we love, but are we doing what is right? I watched my stepdad come home from the hospital, basically comatose from a swelling of the brain. His brain basically burned out but the controls were still there. It was decided not to continue feeding him - that would have meant inserting a tube. Hospice was there to keep him comfortable. To keep him from pain, but to be home with his family around. We don't know if he heard us, but we included him in conversations and told him we loved him. It was incredibly hard but we managed.

So we're back from Costco and the last of the stuff got into the garage before the rain started. I lit the fire and am going to go out and read when I get this posted. It feels so cold outside. The snow level is supposed to come down to 500 feet. We're at 62 feet. I just want to be warm. Nothing else but warm today. Heck I even have socks on. 

So peace to all.

I hate cancer.

25 Feb. 2011 
Sharon died today at age 36. She passed away peacefully and quietly. God bless you Sharon and hold your family in the palm of his hand. 
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A girl that I've known on a message board for many years was dx'ed with breast cancer about a year ago.
Today her husband posted on her facebook page that she has decided to stop all treatment and go home on hospice. She is 35 years old, has a husband and 3 year old son.

Pinks and blues being sent out to Sharon.

PUI--- medicine makes it in vino veritas

Somewhere over the last 2 days I have managed to pull a muscle or two on the left side of my ribcage. I thought it might be pleurisy (an inflammation of the pleural tissue that surrounds the lung) but I have no other symptoms, i.e. fever, cough, feeling miserable. So I am stuck with a majorly sore left side. Not only does it hurt like a mofo, it makes driving inconvenient. All those muscles that you use to turn the wheel, yeah, those---are all connected. So with the pain already in the right shoulder, now I have the left ribcage to deal with. Crap. Crap. Crap. 

We have rain! Hooray. I love it as long as I don't have to drive in it, put gas in my car in it, or get out and walk in it. All of which I had to do this morning. I was not a happy camper. Today's post (if you can't tell already) is not a happy camper post. 

I am awaiting some books from a book club that I think I joined. I hope it doesn't take forever for the books to get here. They are non fiction and religious. Yep, something to delve into before I finally make that leap to grad school. I am going to check out other schools besides the one I applied to and see what I can make of them. Better to keep the options open. 

Well I've wallowed enough. Time to go light the fireplace, throw some big ole logs on and enjoy catching up with all the stuff I've DVR'ed. 

Peace. 

Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack

(not the anti aircraft artillery that was shot from Axis locations against American aircraft).


I just read about a Valentine's Tea given by a blogger who drives me up the wall. She took pictures and honest to goodness it looked like someone hit the 99¢ Store and used it to decorate. She's violently against women working, yet I bet when she went to the market she was waited upon by a woman who has to work to help support her family because she's not a godly Stay At Home Wife. Personally I don't enjoy staying at home. I wish I could be in a classroom learning. I tried teaching, it didn't work for me. But I love learning. 

 

No big plans for Valentines Day. I think I'll read some liturgical history and see where it leads me. I am still waiting for my 5 books to get here. Then I have to start packing. I keep saying that don't I? 

I am having an awful lot of trouble with my shoulder. It hurts so bad. At night I am taking a muscle relaxer and a pain pill to get to sleep. It's bad enough I have to sleep on my left side because it's too painful to sleep on the right. And last night I had the strangest dreams.  German shepherd dog chasing and playing with horses in a field. I have no freaking idea. Odd. I am not a horse person. They are too big for me. 

The errand husband is watching Star Trek NG. It's one that brings back Denise Crosby- yesterday's enterprise. I don't think I'll watch much of it.

Well life goes on. Oh yeah, the social butterfly is going to go to Chicago in March. Flying WN back and forth. Good price and no baggage fees. 

So it's time to get things going. 
Peace and I leave you with this thought from the Book of Micah:


“And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and towalk humbly with your God.” – Micah 6:8

A small product endorsement

For those of us who grew up in the late 60's and 70's music was probably a big thing in our lives. At least it was in mine. I always harbored a secret desire to run away and sing back up for some rock group, live vicariously through movies like Woodstock and The Rose. I loved the music I grew up with and find what's passing for music these days sadly lacking.

I tried to add this widget to my blog but I think it's not showing, so anyway I'm giving a shout out to Rockabye Babies, Lullaby Renditions. I have them by The Beatles, Zeppelin, Queen, Eagles, Johnny Cash and The Rolling Stones. The guitars and drums are replaced by vibraphones, mellotones and laid back instruments. I put them on my Ipod and turn it on at night before I go to sleep. Before you know it, you're asleep. My daughter uses them at he preschool she works at to help put the babies to sleep. She loves the Bob Marley one. They have groups of my liking as well as quite modern ones. (God that makes me sound like an old bag doesn't it?) They have 36 different CD's and there are a couple of other companies that are doing the same thing.

Yesterday the social butterfly and I were driving to Costco and we saw a gaggle of helicopters up in the sky. They were hovering over the Airport Courthouse where Ms Lindsay Lohan was going to appear. Honestly isn't there more important news going on in this city than a washed up actress who got popped for stealing a necklace? They didn't do that when Winona Ryder shoplifted. Of course in a city where Charlie Sheen can order 30K worth of cocaine and get all messed up and not get arrested for it, who knows? But if it were you or me you'd be sure we'd be in the big house sweating out whether or not we'd survive the next shower. Things are different for the rich and semi famous aren't they?



I've had some bad days recently. Just felt like I was at the bottom of the well and looking up. Hopefully getting back on the meds will make a difference. I take 7 pills every morning and 4 at night. 4 are Rx. Like my mom says getting old ain't for sissies.



So peace to all of you. Fair skies and following seas. No turbulence in the blues.

What a klutz

As I sit here pondering on this subject, my 8 lb dog is barking like mad at the closed door. Ever since dogs moved in next door he's been acting odd. I think he was used to being the king of this end of the block. I thank God that he doesn't howl at the sirens like they do. What happened to my mild mannered little schnook?

So Sunday I was getting ready to cook my brats and baked beans for the party we were going to and I was in the kitchen. I was wearing some flat shoes that have an odd bottom and I must have moved my foot wrong. I went down like a sack of potatos, reached my hand out for support and landed on my daughters box of cupcakes. I annihilated them. Literally smashed the 4 that were in the box. Frosting spread all over it. I got up and cursed a blue streak and didn't initially feel very bad. Now 3 days later I am in misery. My mid back feels like it's in a cramp, and my shoulders hurt too. It's time to take a muscle relaxant I guess. Then I won't cook. That's ok. I'll take my chances. 

We went to a Super Bowl party and took my mom along. She had a good time and my friend's husband was amazed at all the knowledge she had about the game. We of course were thrilled that the Packers won. It was a crazy game but it was well played. 

I have a bottle of pomegranate margaritas that I'd like to try tonight. But I think if I mix that with muscle relaxants, I might go on a PUI rampage on some websites. Get me banned for life. LOL.

Nothing else exciting happening around here. I've got to start packing book boxes. Then I'll hit the garage and then the rest of the house. I have to have 4K minimum stashed by April 1. I hate the thought of moving. 

Oh I love this airplane. It was the first plane I ever flew on. 44 years ago. Time flies when you're having fun. I flew it from AUW to ORD via GRB. 

So have a good one and stay out of trouble. Don't be like me and go commenting on some old broads blog where she extols the joys of being a SAHW and sitting in poorly made Victorian knockoffs and drinking tea in a tent made of bedsheets. Education is for the birds and boys. And college is not for any good Christian lady. :::: slinking off to the living room to watch Stargate Sg-1 now :::::

Liturgy for the Ordinary Radical.....that's me.

I ordered a book yesterday from Amazon (I get free shipping) and it came tonight. It's called

Common Prayer, A Liturgy For Ordinary Rebels
by Shane Claiborne, et al


I have always gone to a liturgical church. It's part of my life and when I visited other churches, I felt lost and alone. My husband went to a Covenant Church when he was in Amway because his sponsors told him that it was good for the business. It was a huge church, 7 services over 2 days. But it was cold. They had the obligatory "praise" band, piano, and an organ that sometimes was played. But I didn't get the Love of God there. I got the feel good prosperity gospel, I didn't get what I needed. So I didn't join. When a lady said "Why don't you go to church with your husband?" I answered, I have been a member of the same church for over 30 years, and up to 2 months ago, so was he. I didn't see the need to uproot my children from what they knew just to make him look good. (and Amway is still a cult in my mind).
Anyway this book could be used for a church, it can be used alone, and it is interesting.

I joined a book club that is from a religious publisher who is also interested in social justice. Something sadly lacking in this country. I ordered 5 books and will pay for the deal. I will see what I like and if I want to continue. But I am interested in someday getting a masters degree focusing on the use of the liturgy and how it has developed from the ancient church thru today. 2000 years worth of prayer, praise and learning. The only thing I am dreading is that I have to pack all these books. I have to go and get some packing boxes and start with the bookshelves. How empty they will look. These are the days I wish I had an Ipad with Kindle.

So tonight I leave you with this:

May the Peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever he may send you;
may he guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm;
may he bring you home rejoicing: at the wonders he has shown you;
may he bring you home rejoicing: once again into our doors. 


Peace and good night.
da bunny

I stole this from another blog.....

This is kinda the way I feel. Like pulling my ears up tight to my head and closing down. But it will be better tomorrow even if it's windy and cold. 

I was trapped at home today. Kid took my car to do some work at my moms and didn't come home till after 5pm. I wanted to go to the market but I guess I'll go tomorrow. Argh.

Time to put on something warm, crawl into the flannel sheets and read for a while.

Peace. 

Out.

One month down, 11 to go....

I am somewhere in the ether these days. During the week I don't know which day is which. It's probably from a lack of human contact. The dog doesn't speak and I only have long conversations with him when I am totally bored. So....on ward and up ward!



The PACKERS are going to the Super Bowl. We're going to a friends house for the afternoon and game. I'm par boiling bratwurst and making baked beans to take over. My mom is coming along too. She will enjoy getting out of her house I am sure. I don't know if they can beat the Steelers, we shall see.



I've got to start boxing things up. I should go to a moving store and buy some boxes or hit up Trader Joes and get some wine boxes to use for books. I also need to start bagging old clothes and dropping them off at the Salvation Army and other thrift stores in the area. I should also start looking at places to move to. I guess I'll call our realtor friend and see if he has any leads. This time we are getting a moving company to move the furniture. If we move all the small stuff, I can get a van and 3 for 4 hours and just move the heavy stuff.


Just for the fun of it, here's the Ipod Shuffle for this morning:
1. Personal Jesus by Johnny Cash
2. Jump With My Baby by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
3. Arabic Dance by the Gipsy Kings
4. Chug All Night by the Eagles
5. I Heard The Voice of Jesus Say by the Trinity College Choir
6. Tired of Your Jive by BB King and Billy Gibbons


In the news:
The riots in Egypt, the Saudi King thinks they are awful. Perhaps he is afraid that people will rise up against the regime and demand equal rights.

Gabrielle Giffords is making progress. Slow and steady.

The guy who shot her will never see freedom again.

The TSA is still crazy. Read their blog about Phil Mocek and you'd never guess that he was acquitted of all charges and the state and TSA lost. Spin doctors rejoice, you can always get a job at TSA.

Charlie Sheen is an entitled little brat who's had everything he's ever wanted and has decided to piss it all away. Now his antics have put a whole lot of people out of work. Hiatus means the producers don't have to pay the crew. No one is that special. I hope the honchos at CBS make him realize that if he doesn't get his act together the show is over. Done. Kaput.

Onto books read, waiting, partially read:

I Know This Much is True: Wally Lamb.
Winter Garden: Kristin Hannah
Heart and Soul: Maeve Binchy
Bone Garden: Tess Gerritsen
A Hundred Years of Solitude: Gabriel Garcia Marquez
You Know When the Men Are Gone: Siobhan Fallon
Freedom: Jonathan Franzen
Angel Time by Anne Rice
Of Love and Evil by Anne Rice

I am waiting for The Handmaid's Tale to get here in the mail. I read it years ago, but after reading a bunch of blogs on patrio-centric Christianity (I use Christian very lightly), they worship the head of the family not Christ and women are subjugated to being helpmeets and SAHM's, they eschew public schooling for home schooling, the outside world is evil. Daughters stay at home until their father's find them a mate and then the father's authority is transferred over to the new man. They are chattel property and it's sad that in a supposedly enlightened time people live this way and believe it's Biblical. I can go on and on but my BP meds might not work.

Well this is more than I envisioned I'd write today.

On a cool note, I saw the Qantas A380 flying alone in a clear blue sky yesterday. What a huge plane. I don't know if I'd want to fly on it or not. I love(d) the 747. Nothing like sitting on the upper deck in a nice big seat. Oh the joys of being a non rev. I truly miss that part of my life.

Peace to all.

Home from the seas is the cruiser

We picked up the cruiser from LAX on Sunday night/Monday morning. She was exhausted. And rightfully so. She flew from FLL to ATL to LAX on the airline i don't like. I wish she could have flown on WN but they couldn't find a flight that would work. It would have saved her and her roommate some $. Her roommate got hit with a $90 overcharge for 2lbs overweight. Nice DL. Real nice.


My kiddo got targeted by ICE in Key West. She was harassed, badgered, falsely accused and had her luggage tossed, as well as her stateroom and the belongings of the other 3 people in the stateroom. Why? The dog alerted outside their door. They had no drugs, they had no contraband, they had nothing. Yet they were treated like hardened criminals by agents of our government. Am I pissed? It's beyond pissed. I am composing with her help a letter to my congressperson, both of my senators and several other people. This is unconscionable, and tells why people are avoiding coming to the US. Treatment of innocent travelers like this :::: ON A CRUISE SHIP AT A US PORT::::: is telling of the gestapo mentality of these employees of the DHS.


So onto other things. There was a shooting at a local high school and it's breaking news.  I bet if I went outside I could see a gaggle of helicopters over their location. It's about 4 miles from here. I knew their old principal. He was a micromanager and didn't foster much love between the parents because literally it was his way or the highway. I worked for him at another high school.



A blogger I have followed for several years got married and quit blogging. She was my sons age and she was a stay at home daughter by choice. Actually she was basically the mother of the family because her mother couldn't deal in my opinion. She home-schooled her brothers, was her younger sisters mother figure, did the accounting for the family farm and other businesses,  bush hogged lots with a tractor and cutter and did a lot of other things. Her mother blogged that her daughter was in training. So she ran the farm. A guy found her blog on the internet and they ended up getting married. I wish her well because she is now in Oxford with her husband. She has a home school high school education. He's a Rhodes Scholar, Princeton graduate who's going to be serving in the Army. I think she's going to have a rough time unless she loosens up. She refers to things as "sweet". Her husband is on a pedestal so high that when he leaves his underwear on the floor, she will gladly pick it up. I commented quite often on her blog but since I left a comment likening watching 27 bellringers (she had them proceed her down the aisle at the wedding) to herding cats, I have been persona non grata. Well honey, I did weddings for 10 years and the ones with children were the hardest to deal with.



And a train wreck that I've followed on another site is now back in her home town and owns 2 homes courtesy of her deceased dad. The homes have been vacant while she has dragged her children from Michigan to New York to Ohio to Kentucky to New York to Kentucky and now back to Michigan. She was with one guy this whole time until the last time in Kentucky. Now she is with someone else. Her little boys have gone along for this road trip. They are 5 and 3. It's amazing how some people fall into it and come up smelling like roses. And as with some vacant homes, they were used as a drug squats and will need a lot of work to make them habitable. I wish her luck too.



I love my new washer. In fact as soon as I am done writing this missive, I am going to start a load. You know when you're down to your emergency underwear it's time to do wash. It's nice to have real clean clothes.



I have some cash for a Christmas present and I think I am going to spend part of it on Itunes. And some books. Good idea. Now I need to get a new Ipod. Maybe....



I wish you peace.

Happy New Year 2011

Albeit a bit late, but I've been way under the weather. Yep, the bug hit me after me thinking that I was going to get away with staying healthy. I was pretty miserable to the point I went to see the doctor. I was on the verge of pneumonia. Nasty bronchitis. I took the Z-pack, used the inhaler (still am because my chest really hurts) and used to codeine cough syrup. I wish I had a percussive vest to break up what ever is still sitting in my chest. And of course, I used the most effective means of birth control ever created::: VICKS!
Vicks on my feet with white cotton socks, Vicks on my chest to aerate the room, and Vicks around my nose.



The social butterfly has been gone since 1 Jan.She's on a cruise. Yesterday she had a day time transit of the Panama Canal. She's had a great time. She will be home on Sunday night. God Willing and the Creeks don't rise.



Been reading a bunch of different and varied blogs. One young woman got married, had 27 bell-ringers, 9 attendants and is now moving to England. I wish her the best. Others, well, let's say I don't think beating your children into submission using the name of the Lord is exactly what he intended. But when you have a skewered knowledge of peace and love in Jesus, and can only see the Lord as a vindictive hate filled figure, sheesh. And then of course the wonderful home schooled quiverfulls who see that sending their girl children to college is worthless. But if something happens and they need to go to the ER, chances are they might be treated by a female doctor who shock of shocks, is educated!!! Such hypocrisy.

Well, it's time I get another load of laundry done, and in my brand new washer with lots of bells and whistles. I am so happy. It's easy to make me happy..... a new Coach purse, dishes done, a new used stove, and a new washer. What an easy lady. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Peace and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you.

December 31st, 2010

Thanks to Southwest Airlines, I am going on a trip for my 25th anniversary next week. Visiting my money at the Mirage.

Thanks to God for the blessings he has given us.
