This question comes from Krissy's husband John. If we found out there was an advanced civilization on another planet should we try to make contact with them? Why or why not?
my answer: I would say ONLY if we had EVERY indication that they were peace-loving. Then we should go for it. If we didn't understand them and what they were about we should hold off. What do you think?
Good Saturday to everyone! Hope everyone is well and happy today. I woke up with a big ol' headache. I'm trying to kill it with a strong cup of coffee. That usually works. I have been worrying about everyone and everything and I think that's why I have the headache. I am going to try and take it easy this weekend. I do have to do alot of cleaning and arranging as my apartment has gotten in a bit of disarray since I got back from Florida. I have had a huge problem with organization, especially since I have had my brain surgeries. I spend alot of my day trying to "find things" and "fix mistakes" that I make from forgetting things and losing things. It has gotten almost to a crisis point. I am going to have to make my living situation more organized. Period. If anyone has any suggestions on organization, I would really appreciate it. Krissy is giving me pointers, and I really do appreciate them!
It's time for "Wordplay" this morning! It feels good to get back into the swing of the game =). I found a neat site that has five spelling quizzes. They have 50 words in each quiz. I took the first three quizzes. I missed four on the first. Three on the second and two on the third. I find it interesting that when I see two words together they both seem to look like they are spelled correctly, or they both seem to be spelled incorrectly. LOL Ask me to spell a word on a piece of paper or type a word on the computer and I have no problem, but on these tests it was a bit tricky at times and I had to do some thinking. Let me know how you did! I'm not asking you to do all five or even three like I did (unless you want to!). I just want to see how everyone fares on one of them!! What words did you have problems with? Was this a hard test? Thanks for playing along!
I had promised a few week's back to post poems that were submitted to a previous "Wordplay" before I went to Florida. I was unable to post them because Chelsea went into labor earlier than expected. Below are these poems. Thanks to those who contributed!
The first one is from Barbara at Confessions of An Angel Waitress. I wrote back Barbara after I received this poem and she told me Ezra truly DID exist! This poem gave me a big smile and laugh! Thanks, Barb!
I'll just Have The Chicken
Ezra who is three years old came to visit me.
I was working at my job
Waitressing for a mob.
I said, "What would you like for lunch?"
And he replied to me,
"I would like some chicken please."
And sat down ready to eat.
His order was taking way too long
To come out of the kitchen.
He was getting restless and
Started causing tension.
He could not stay there in his chair.
He began to wander.
Introduced himself to everyone
And could not wait for the chicken to be done.
I went over to him to help the situation
And asked him this simple question,
"Ezra, do you have a case of wiggle worms?"
To which he simply smiled, "No thank you,
not today, I'll just have the chicken!"
The second and final poem I received is from Krissy at Sometimes I Think. Thanks, Krissy!
This Love Overflows
Deep down inside
it grows
it grows
and pushes it's way out
to others
this love overflows.
Who would have thought
who would have known
we'd be here today
hearts interlocking?
I'm off to go do some of that organizing that I was talking about. Ah, what to do first??? Have a good weekend, everyone! xox

I hope you have The Hungersite, which I try to speak of as much as I can, bookmarked. I hope you visit it daily, too! When I click on the link daily I give 1.1 cups of staple food to a person who is hungry. I don't think this is a small thing. If I do this every day for a year, that is 401.5 cups of food a year!! That's just from little ol' me!! From just a little click!
If you have never been to The Hungersite it has five other worthy causes that you can click on at the top of the page as well. This month The Breast Cancer Site and The Literacy Site are DOUBLING their clicks!! That means more mammograms for women who can't afford them and more books for children who are in need of them! So, if you can, please pop on over to these sites and give them a click. Try to do it daily if you can. It only takes about 30 - 45 seconds to do all six. You feel really good after you click them all! I know I do!! ...stepping off my soapbox
I took a recent picture of Krissy's cat, Michael, and wanted to share it with you, just because I think he is the most beautiful cat in the world! He is a Maine Coon. He is a 25-pound, gentle giant. I take care of Michael when Krissy and John are away and he is such a pleasure to be around because he purrs the entire time. He is just so loving...
I will be picking back up with "Wordplay" Saturday morning. Hope you drop by and check it out! Have a good rest of the week! xox
Photo Scavenger Hunt #89 will be due on Sunday, September 24, at 11:00 PM EST.
The subject this week is: a few of my favorite things
Interpret this any way you wish and have fun!! I wanted to thank Krissy for allowing me to continue her Photo Scavenger Hunt and Monday Morning Question while she is caring for her husband. She will be taking back her "babies" shortly. Thank you, sissy!! I really appreciate it and love you so much! xox
