The lie is...


#2!!  I have never been on a game show.  I think that I would like to be someday, but I fear that fright would paralyze me and I would behave like a buffoon and die of embarrassment.  LOL  I can eat very well with chopsticks and I do live by a liquor store as well as a funeral home/crematorium, two churches, a pizza parlor, a loan office, a hair salon, and a Loyal Order of The Moose across the street.  I could live for the rest of my life just on my street if I could stomach just pizza.  I could get a loan for a lot of money, drink, go to church, get my hair cut and die.  I don't drink though.  I can't go into the Moose either because they don't allow women in there.  I find the place very mysterious.  It reminds me of the episode on The Flintstone's where Wilma and Betty tried to get into Fred's Lodge.  They dressed up in the garb and pretended to be men.  Does anyone remember this?  I envision the men in the back of the Moose wearing big buffalo hats and eating buffalo burgers and Pterodactyl eggs and paddling one another with paddles.  Well, they need to let me in there.  LOL  Thanks for playing.  Linda at Footprints in the Sand was the only one who guessed the lie correctly.  For some reason, most of you thought I couldn't use chopsticks.  My boyfriend was with me when we had lunch that day and he tried them for the first time and used them the entire meal.  I was impressed!  Have you ever tried to use chopsticks?  Are you any good with them?

P.S.  I will be back within a day to list Hunt participants and Hunt subject.  Thank you for your patience.  I had a two day migraine.

Which is true?...


I found this Weekend Assignment at Cathy's Journal.  I'm a week behind (no surprise), but thought I would give it a try anyway.  We were supposed to tell two truths and one lie.  I had fun coming up with these.  Can you guess which is the lie?

     1.  I ate a whole meal with chopsticks last Sunday.
     2.  I was on a TV game show when I was 28.
     3.  My home is nestled between a liquor store, church,
         and funeral home/crematorium.

Take a guess... and if you are family or a close friend and know the answer, give others time to guess please!!  If you play this, please leave your entry URL so I can come have a guess, too!

week's news, Happy Labor Day!...


I would like to sincerely apologize to those of you who participated in last week's Photo Scavenger Hunt and LOLpets.  I have been unable to post your entries and give a new Hunt subject because I was busy with a little boy and a sick daughter.  My daughter was in the hospital all last week with a severe kidney infection.  I took care of Josiah.  When Josiah comes to Grammy's it's "play time" so I got no break!! LOL  Chelsea is healing.  She is very weak and still hurts some, but is recovering.  Her baby (in her belly) is okay.  She had contractions the first day in the hospital (every two minutes!) but they stopped, thank goodness.  She did that with her pregnancy with Josiah, too.  She had a lot of false contractions in her eighth month.  That never happened with me.  She is getting large now.  Her baby is due October 7.  They picked out a name - Jonah Alexander.  I like it very much!  I might be repeating myself.  LOL  I forgot what I have and haven't told everyone.  Oh, I am getting very excited!!  I better finish crocheting the baby's first blanket!!

I am so, so sore from taking care of Josiah and I am having a lot of muscle spasms.  My fibromyalgia has flared BIG TIME!   It was worse yesterday so I will be okay.  I am at my worst in the morning right when I wake up.  That's why I get on the computer.  I am in too much pain to do anything else.  I wait for my muscle and nerve pain medicines to work and for my body to kick in.  It takes about two hours.  Anyone who knows me knows that I DO NOT do anything for two hours after I get up except sit at the computer.  My body stops around 4PM, too, and doesn't start up again until 9PM.  I have a weird cycle.  I do very well late at night, too.  Very late evening is my best time of day.

I will be posting everyone's entries and a Hunt subject in the next day.  I just wanted you all to know that I didn't disappear.  I wanted to thank everyone who was praying for Chelsea, too, it meant the world to us!!  God bless and have a good Labor Day! xox
