Words of kindness are works of kindness, and since they cost so little and are worth so much, we should strew them plentifully all along life's way.

This or That Tuesday
The Arts Edition
1. Poetry or prose? Poetry, especially short verse. I don't like long poems. I usually get bored and quit reading before the end of the poem.
2. Funky modern art or the older, "classic" variety? Generally, I like the classic variety. I like art that is more realistic than abstract, though I do like some types of fantasy art.
3. Sculptures or paintings? Paintings. There is just something special about considering a painting, especially a well done landscape.
4. Theatre: exuberant musical or serious drama? Drama. A musical has to be very good to be appreciated by me.
5. Ballet or modern dance? Neither.
6. Movies: major studio or indie? Most movies I see in the theater are major studio production, but I do watch some indie films on TV. I also like many of the movies featured on PBS.
7. Authors: Shakespeare or Dr. Seuss? Dr. Suess. Green Eggs and Hams is a classic as far as I'm concerned.
8. TV: PBS or A&E? We don't have A&E on our cable system, if we did we would probably watch is as often as PBS.
9. Music: Beethoven or Beatles? Beatles. I wasn't raised listening to Beethoven so I never developed an ear for that sort of music.
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You are a contributing member of your favorite art museum, and visit on a regular basis. They announce a new, temporary special exhibit by an artist surrounded by controversy...this person's work and/or political views offend you. Do you stop supporting the museum, or just stay away during the time the exhibit is there?
That depends. I wouldn't stop supporting the museum unless it was an exhibit that was deeply offensive to me. For example, an exhibit that went out of it's way to denegrate Christ, or an exhibit that glorified an atrosity (sort of in the vein of someone saying the Holocaust never happened). Life is full of controversy. You have to pick your fights.

Monday Mission
1. Since we've covered the standard "where do you go when you die" question, let's get a little deeper. When you do die, would you like to be able to watch your funeral?
No, I think I will have better things to do.
2. Catholics must have the longest funeral services ever. I think there is a lot to be said for the traditions that they keep, but it was just so depressing. I'd like my funeral to be much more upbeat, like those I've seen in New Orleans. What type of funeral would you plan for yourself?
A few of my favorite hymns, a letter written by me to those attending, a message of salvation from the preacher.
3. As a child, when I was angry sometimes I would wish that a parent or teacher would die. Thank goodness wishes like those are never granted. I think it probably takes the loss of someone important before you learn the value of life. When did you first realize that life was so fragile?
I don't remember when I first realized that life was fragile. Probably when Dad accidently killed my cat with the tractor. I was 4 or 5 when that happened
4. When we said our final respects to Grandma H. today, I though about her impact on the world. No, she didn't cure cancer or make sweeping changes to society. But she did leave a legacy of four sons and a daughter, who in turn have children and grandchildren. And maybe that was her purpose, to launch future generations that will accomplish great things. Some of us are here to make a huge splash in the pond of life, others are here to direct the ripples in the water. Of the people you've known personally who have passed away, what sort of legacy, impact, mark or achievement did they leave behind?
Grandmother was always there whenever our family was in crisis. She opened her doors to us many, many times. Aunt Judy was blunt. One didn't always like what she had to say, but she said it and there was usually more than a kernal of truth in her comments. Dad was an alcoholic. His life was a tragic loss even before he passed away. Grandpa was just someone who had always been there, and one day he wasn't. It is sad that even though I saw him almost everyday of my life, I didn't really know him. He kept to himself. I mourned when he died, but never really missed him. Strange.
5. One thing that struck me at the funeral, was that there were so many men were dressed in casual clothes. I was brought up to believe that men should always wear a suit to a funeral, as a show of respect. Maybe these men were never taught that. Maybe they just don't own suits. Maybe that I am just old fashioned and not hip to the times. Do you think there is an "appropriate" way to dress for attending a funeral? Or is it even important?
I think that when you attend a funeral you should dress in your best attire. It is a sign of respect. If your best attire is casual, well that is fine. But if you have dressier clothes and you dress casually that is disrespectful.
6. Grandma H. was far enough along in life to have been able to plan ahead for her funeral, even down to the tiny details such as song selections. It was nice to finally attend a funeral where they didn't play "Amazing Grace!" My choices would be "Ode to Joy" and "I'll Fly Away." What are some of the more memorable songs you've heard played at funerals?
My choice would be Amazing Grace, but all of the 5 or 6 verses, not the abbreviated 3. I also like "I have a mansion just over the hilltop." Or there are a dozen or so I would chose if I had the time.
7. I've been craving some home-made pickles for years now. Not just any, but the kind my dear Great Grandmother made. It's been over 20 years since she died, but I can still remember just how her dill pickles taste. No one in the family has even attempted to make them since. Today at the funeral I overheard someone wishing that they had asked Grandma H. for her home-made noodle recipe but now it was too late. Do you have any favorite foods that only one relative made, and the recipe died with them?
No, not really. Grandma always had something in the Goodie drawer though. I especially remember her peanut butter cookies.
BONUS: Is it true, all of those things that they say about you? Of course. I am an amazing person!
Today's Comment Question: Do you like pickles? If so, what kind? No, pickles are not my favorite food. Though some of the gourmet dill pickles are pretty good.
Academy Awards
Halle Barry was absolutely gorgeous last night, but I would expect nothing less of her.
I enjoyed the Academy Awards last night sans the antiwar political rhetoric and the somber dress. You know Americans go to the movies for escapism. I watched the Oscars for a little escapism. I felt let down.
As far as winners, I think Lilo and Stitch should have taken the best animated film catagory. Has anyone out there actually seen Spirited Away? And what about that best song catagory? Rap? Yuck. The only nominated song I liked was from The Wild Thornberries. Of course, I figured it didn't have a chance because it was actually simple to understand.
I haven't seen any of the winning movies except The Two Towers. I don't think there are any of them I really want to see, except maybe the Pianist.
It was great to see some of the classic actors like Olivia de Haviland and Kirk Douglas. They set the standards and I am afraid much of Hollywood these days falls far short of their elegance.

Well, that's one of those crazy quizzes that isn't too far off the mark
Republican - You believe that the free market will
take care of most things, but that the
government should be there with moderate
taxation to provide for national defense and
enforcing morality. Your historical role model
is Ronald Reagan.
Which political sterotype are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Friday Five
1. If you had the chance to meet someone you've never met, from the past or present, who would it be? I would like to meet my grandmother Adina, my father's mother. She passed away before my mom and dad were even married. I would also like to meet my grandfather Elmer, my mother's father. He passed away when my mom was a little girl. I also think it would be wild to go back in time to when my family was young and make friends with them to see how they were from an adult perspective.
2. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be? We know what the past was like. I think I would like to travel 100 years into the future to see how things work out, and how things have changed.
3. If you had to move anywhere else on Earth, where would it be? Gee, I have absolutely no idea. I would like to go to Finland to see what life is like there. It's where my people came from on my mom's side of the family. But to actually live somewhere else. I don't think I would want to. Maybe a secluded island for once in a while getaways.
4. If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be? What fictional characters do I just absolutely love? That's a tough one. A great detective, perhaps? Or a character from Star Trek. Yeah, that's probably it, but whom? Captain Janeway, maybe. She had about as much testosterone as Captain Kirk. No actually, I just mention Janeway because I know how much Betty admires the character :-) I acutally enjoy Hoshi from the current incarnation, Enterprise. She is gifted communications officers, but the writers need to give the character more challenges.
5. If you had to live with having someone else's face as your own for the rest of your life, whose would it be? I haven't thought about this at all. I am satisfied with my looks.

This-or-That Tuesday
1. Cold frosty ski slopes or warm sandy beach? Warm, sandy beach. Keep the cold as far away from me as possible. I never did see the allure of cold snow.
2. Chevy or Ford? Ford. I thought I would have a heart attack the first time my husband bought a Chevy. Actually exept for Ford trucks, we generally stick with Dodge.
3. Mac or PC? PC. I've never used a Mac
4. Dial-up or high speed internet access? Right now it is dial-up because I got a year's free Internet when I bought a new computer from Gateway. After the free year I will probably go to the high-speed.
5. Small *family-only* wedding or large 200 guest wedding? When my husband and I got married in 1985 it was a small ceremony performed here at home. My mom was my witness and my husband's son was his witness. I wore blue jeans and asked the preacher to omit the "obey" part of the vows.
6. Would you rather be the bridesmaid or the bride? (if you are a guy, substitute best man or groom). Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Nuff said.
7. AC/DC or ABBA? If I had to choose? ABBA, I suppose.
8. Roses or daisies? I like roses, but daisies have their place. "He loves me, he loves me not."
9. Trashy romance novels or classic literature? Trashy romance novels (well trashy science fiction romance novels). I used to read quite a few romance novels, but now it is mainly science fiction sans the romance.
10. NEW! Thought-provoking question of the week...If you had to choose one...would you rather be blind or deaf? Why? I think I would rather be deaf. Being blind would be too scary.

When all else fails, go shopping
Yesterday I had a good day, but that may be because I went shopping! Garden shopping. I picked up a few things, just for decoration--three planter spikes with different kinds of characters on them: a turtle, a snail, and a frog. I also picked up several large baskets at the Goodwill to use as planters. The ones I've been using for the past few years are just about rotted away.
There is a garden fountain at Walmart I might get tomorrow if Jim likes it. I've been wanting one forever. This one is not too big. It has a fairy and a gazing ball over which water trickles into a basin. It is pretty, and it is half the price of the ones Wally's had last year (which I didn't buy).
I cleaned of my side of the front porch. The side with the porch swing. It looks inviting enough to sit out there and enjoy the weather. Not that we've had much porch-sitting weather lately. Though Friday was fairly nice.
The next project is to get Jim's side of the porch cleaned up. That's the side on which he stores all of his stuff (blame that on the Tarheel genes). It is a mess right now! It needs to be straightened up enough so that we can put Jacob's bike on that side instead of right in front of the porch swing. I also need to get rid of that old recliner. The one Jim hung on to even though it is falling apart (he's a packrat,too), and get something else for him to sit on for the porch. Not just any old chair either. Something second hand with a lot of character. Jim might argue that his old recliner has a lot of character, but he would be wrong!
I also bought some seeds. I got two packs of nasturtiums. I'm going to try to get them going again. I have several planters that are just bare and nothing seems to do well in them. I'm going to try the nastursiums in those.
I also bought some sunflower seeds. They are actually called Mexican sunflowers. I don't know if they are really sunflowers at all, but I have a couple of larger pots in the front beds that need something in them.
I got some bleeding hearts, too. I want to put those in the planter that has crocus right now. I enjoy bleeding hearts, but have had a hard time growing them. I think it is because the soil around here is so poor. I have one in a planter and it seems to be doing well.
I can't wait until the weather is nice enough to spend a lot of time outside just sitting and enjoying the sun and water fountain. Probably with a good book and perhaps a cup of tea. But I think I've said that before.
Oh, and I won't mention the other stuff I bought. The stuff that feeds my jewelry addition. All I'll say about that is: 60% off and Black Hills gold & silver.

Yawn
It was one of those mornings when I woke up at 4 am and couldn't go back to sleep. I absolutely hate that! I finally got up around 4:30 because one of the things that happens is that my back starts hurting and then I just can't lie their any longer. Why could't I go back to sleep in the first place? Oh, all sorts of things I've been worrying about kept going around and around in my head. I just couldn't shut them off. *sigh* It is silly to worry. Worry won't take care of the problems. If everyone else in the world were as reasonable as I, I wouldn't have the problems I worry about.
Friday Five
1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not? Talking on the phone is not my favorite thing to do, though I do try to call my mom and best friend on a regulard. In fact, I so don't talk on the phone that my cell phone is set up for only 30 minutes.
2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone? My sister-in-law.
3. About how many telephones do you have at home? We have three phones: in the living room, in the bedroom, and upstairs.
4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened? Yes, on time a bill collector called me looking for my daughter-in-law. We happen to have the same names and he would not believe that I wasn't the one he was looking for. He called me a liar. That made me angry, and I filed a complaint against that particular bill-collecting company. The resolution was a written apology from the boss of the company.
5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not? It is easier to write an email to those friends and relatives that I don't see on a regualar basis.

Monday Mission
1. What is the most boring project you have ever had to? Many years ago, I was BORED, really bored. Then I said to myself, this feeling is crazy. Boredom is a state of mind. Since that day I haven't been bored. Ergo, no project is boring.
2. If you could be anyone or anything you wish, who or what would you want to be? Why? I suppose I would like to be a writer. No, really, not just of poetry (which I love) but of fiction and nonfiction novels.
3. What is one thing you refuse to ever put in your mouth? Asparagus! Yuck. My dad made me eat it once when I was a little girl. I warned him that if he made me eat it, I would vomit. He didn't believe me. He should have because I puked all over the dinner table. He never made me eat it again.
4.If you could film a documentary about yourself and have yourself followed for 1 day, what would that day look like? And why? My day would hardly be interesting to anyone else, so this is a moot question!
5. What is the longest distance you have ever traveled to meet someone for the first time (blind date, blogger meet-up, etc). Was it worth the trip? The farthest I traveled to meet someone was from Washington state to North Carolina to meet my husband's family. Yes, it was worth the trip. He is from Asheville in the Smoky Mountains. It is beautiful there, and the people are great.
6. What do people usually assume about you that isn't true? People are sometimes surprised that most of my reading material is science fiction. What? Don't I look like a sf fan?
7. What are you craving for lunch today? Anything besides Slim-Fast! No just kidding. I want to lose weight more than I want to eat something not on my menu plan.
BONUS: Take a look at me, tell me do you like what you see? It doesn't matter if you like what you see. The worth of my existence isn't determined by your thoughts about me at all.
Today's Comment Question: Do you like to go camping? In fact, I do. My husband and I used to go camping several times a year, but then we became foster parents and because of school, etc, our camping trips have dwindled down to once a year in the summer. Still, I enjoy that week immensly.There is nothing better than spending time sitting on the side of the river with a good book and no interuptions.
Monday Memories
Do you have an icecream man? Do you remember the icecream man from your childhood? We don't have an icecream man now, but during the summer one rides around in a jeep-like vehicle that plays the tune from "The Gambler" and tries to seduce us into spening too much money on cold treats.
The thing I remember about ice cream was that one time my brother, sister, and I walked uptown to the Safeway store where we stole icecream bars. We did that a couple of times without being caught, but then one day we took our cousin with us, and she told on us. Not only did we get a spanking (ouch), we had to go to the store and talk to the manager, apologize, and pay for the icecream we stole. We never did that again!
I Can Only Hope They Outgrow it.
One of my foster children is in high school. Today I was reading a copy of the high school newpaper. Part of the focus of the issue was harassament at school. I was surprised by the attitudes of some of the students--though having lived through high school myself I shouldn't be, I suppose. In an article on sexual harassment, one student is quoted as saying: "Kids will be kids and everyone has to go through the process of being harrassed for something. That's the way to grow, and learn to tolerate things." Really? I disagree. I was harassed during the entirety of my k-12 education. It was a living hell, and no one should be required to endure it!
In the same article, another student is quoted as saying: "Society today has become too touchy about political correctness. Gay is a word with no meaning. When I call someone gay I'm not attacking his sexual preference, it's just my way of saying loser with one less syllable..." Really? Why call someone "loser" at all? By what criteria does he define the word. And what gives him the right to say it of one of his peers?
As if that isn't a disturbing enough attitude in these students, the issue also contains an editoral from the staff. In it is this comment, "Sure serious problems can come from constant harassment, and that's when the administration needs to step in. Otherwise, it's just a little lesson in humility." Yes, there is a time when the administration must step in, but harassment is never about learning humility. It is humiliation! Totally unacceptable in any form!
I suppose with those attitutes about harrassment I shouldn't be surprised that in an article about "The discs we dig," the student Editor-in-Chief and a student Staff Writer use name-calling when talking about groups of students who have a different taste in music than their own. According to this article, country music fans include at least "one-bearded lady or slack-jawed yokel [who] will break up with their cousin over wh[ich singer] had the better mullet..." and fans of emo bands are "...people walking around wearing black clothes, horn-rimmed glasses, and crying. These are emo kids. Do not make fun of them for their unusual attire or they will kill themselves." Emo kids are also referred to as "pansy fans." Hasn't anyone told these students that good journalism doesn't reqire name-calling. Given the high suicide rate among teens, the part about students committing suicide isn't even funny!
It is said that the children of today are tomorrow's leaders. I can only hope that these children outgrow the attitudes they are displaying in these articles. At the very least I hope they realize how inappropriate their statements are and begin to focus on issues rather than belittling those with different views.
Well, enough of that particular soapbox.

UPDATED: The Pastor's Perspective. "The problem is that faith isn't about us. In fact, to learn to walk in faith demands that we look less and less to ourselves, and more and more to Jesus." ~Mike Kozowski
What about that?
Looking at the Friday Five, it seems I did get most of my things accomplished this weekend. Let's see, I did the laundry--oodles and oodles of it since I have 4 teenage boys, my husband, and myself, I didn't do the UAPAA stuff yet. I can do that anytime--even tomorrow morning. I made a batch of chicken soup. I make homemade soup because my husband had to cut down on his salt and you can't find canned soup that doesn't have immense amounts of salt in it. Anyway, I put 10 pints in the freezer for future use. We did go to church this morning. I should have today's Pastor's Perspective up later this evening.
My youngest foster son is so funny. His class is having a science experiment tomorrow. Apparently they are making balloon rockets. It seems you put a room-length piece of sting through a straw and tack it up so it runs across the room. The you blow up a balloon, but don't tie off the end, just hold it so the air doens't go whoosh. The you tape the balloon to the straw, let go of the end and watch it streak across the room. I bought the supplies for him today and he and his bothers spent several hours upstairs whoosing balloon rockets along the hallway.

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend? Laundry, UAPAA stuff, make a batch of chicken soup, go to church

Theme Thursday
There's a lot of bad news going on lately......terrorism, economic troubles, people losing their jobs, just a lot of sadness all around. I decided this week, that rather then focusing on all this negative stuff, we could take a look at the positive things in our lives. Maybe it's an upcoming wedding or trip.....a birth of a child or a graduation. Maybe we can all just look forward to spring, which is just around the corner. Depict as best you can something that's going to be happening soon that keeps you going.
(1 Thessalonians 13-18) "Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore, encourage each other with these words."

This or That
1. Soup or salad? Soup with so many crackers there is no broth left in the bowl.
2. Hot or cold sandwiches? Cold, preferably ham and cheese.
3. White or whole wheat bread (or rye, etc)? I used to eat only wheat bread, but I've found I kind of like the white bread better these days.
4. Pack a lunch for work/school, or buy it? When I worked outside the home I packed a lunch. The children eat hot lunch at school.
5. If you eat out...fast-food chain, or mom & pop type place? Fast food, except these days it is getting pretty pricey to take my entire family of 6 (4 teenage boys) out to even a fast food joint. For the amount of money I spent the last time we went out we could have gone to a real restaurant.
6. Tuna or chicken salad? Tuna
7. Cheese: Swiss or cheddar (or American, etc)? Depends. Swiss is good on ham sandwiches, but otherwise I use cheddar.
8. Mustard or mayo? Mayo always. Mustard on certain things: hamburgers, for example.
9. Sandwiches: wrap/pita pocket, or regular bread/roll? Regular bread. Pita pockets seem like a waste of time.
10. Sweet stuff: cookie/cake or fresh fruit? Eat fruit when you can have cake? Get real!
I drive a minivan
What is it with those minivans, anyway? Not long after we purchased our '95 Dodge Caravan (used) the paint on the hood and the top started peeling off. Thankfully, it was still under warranty and the cost of repainting was paid for by the factory. But, last summer the passenger side door and sliding door started peeling. Of course, by that time it was no longer under warranty so we had to pay for that repaint ourselves. Now, last month my husband noticed that the passenger side door was starting to peel again! The dealer where we had it painted last summer is redoing it, so it isn't going to cost us more money, but it is a very frustrating thing. I notice it isn't just our van that has the problem. I see lots of minivans with peeling paint. The biggest offenders seem to be be Dodge and Plymouth minivans, but I've also seen several Ford minivans with peeling paint. What? We don't pay enough for these vans that the factories can't afford to do a good paint job in the first place?

Monday Mission
I have a few minutes before I have to go to the high school for a meeting for parents of children playing soccer, so I thought I would do today's MM.
1. Are there any television commercials on these days that are among your favorites? What is your favorite television commercial from your childhood? Hey, I'm not going to admit I watch that much TV! I don't remember tv commercials from my childhood, sorry. I have a lousy memory and the older I get, the more I forget.
2. Sometimes we see ourselves as different than we actually are. For example, I like to think I am a pretty outgoing person, but in reality, I would be perfectly happy if I were left alone. How about you? Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Would others agree with you? I'm not a real social person, but I don't think I'm an introvert. Neither an I an extrovert. I think I hover somewhere in between. While I don't seek out social interaction, if I'm at a gathering of some sort I can hold my own in the conversations.
3. What kind of a worker are you? Do you like a job where you have a daily routine that you can count on every day? Or do you prefer to be in an environment where there is constant change and you never know what to expect from one day to the next? When I worked, I was reliable. I prefer an environment where there is a daily routine that can be counted on every day. One thing I can't stand is for something unexpected to come up. I like my days planned in advanced.
4. I've found that when I go out for a business lunch or any type of meeting where you have to speak, a salad makes the best meal choice. It isn't sloppy and makes it easy to pause for conversation. I would think the same would be true for first dates. When you've gone out on first dates, what sort of decisions would go into your choice of dinner? Price? Ease of conversation? The "messiness" factor? First date? What's that. It's been so long my memory is fogged.
5. "It's grouper" "Two Dollars!" "By choice, man!" The Donger need food!" are just a few of the movie quote that I can recite off the top of my head. These (and oh so many others) come up in the most unusual and inappropriate situations. Usually no one but me "gets it." Doesn't matter, I still have a good laugh. What are some of your all-time favorite movie quotes? Quips from Star Wars or Star Trek are popular around here. One of my favorites is "Why I put up with you is quite beyond my capacity to understand."
6. What if it happened. All of creation is gone. Wiped out. And then come to find out that that there is no reincarnation, no chance to live life over again, no second chance. Turned out, there really was a God and Heaven and Hell. How would that make you feel? Do you want to go to Heaven? I wouldn't be surprised, because I believe that is the way it is: There is a God; there is a heaven and hell.
7. Should everyone be allowed into Heaven? Or should there be criteria? If you were making up the guest list for Heaven, how would you choose who gets in? It it were up to me, everyone would be allowed into heaven, but I didn't make the rules and they are well defined: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.
BONUS: Wot's it to ya? It's none of my business, actually.
