Hi guys!- I read this and thought it sounded like a good idea, so I want to share it with you before I forget... This has to do with cooking: IF YOU ARE MAKING YOUR OWN BROTH and don't have time to refrigerate it until the fat separates and gets scooped off, drop ice cubes into the pot. The fat will harden onto the cold cubes, then you can just lift them out with a spoon.*
***********
Well, I hope everyone is doing well! Everything is good around here. Yesterday my husband and I went to a metal recycling place where we brought in a bunch of old wire, copper, aluminum cans, old car radiators, a bunch of old junk metal, pretty much just trash that we had been collecting for the last year and some. We were very glad that the back yard was getting cleaned up. Anyway, we loaded up the old pickup and headed off. I just couldn't believe it. Seriously, the amount of money that we got for that stuff was incredible! We got $650.! I'm here today to tell you, collect it, don't throw the old metal away. That's not chump change. You don't have to keep it for so long like we did. You can bring the stuff into the recycling place every couple of weeks, or once a month. There are metal recycling places all over. It's just a smart idea. Think about it. After we got done with that, we went out for a late lunch, (or early dinner, same thing.)
to the Steak House. It was real nice. Kind of felt like we were out on a date. We had a good meal. T-Bone steak, baked potato, texas toast, and coca-cola on ice.*
Here- I think you'll like these:
* The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends.
* I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and I set myself on fire.
* I know what Victoria's secret is. The secret is that nobody older than 30 can fit into their stuff.
* Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like, "You know, sometimes I just forget to eat." Now, I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and my keys. But I've never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat.
* I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are: eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day!*
**************************************
Tomorrow starts a beautiful new month! Love to you all! Blessings! -Missygirl*

Hello Everyone! I hope you're having a beautiful day!
Hey- I have a few things for you, a few funny things and some tips I thought might be helpful.
I thought these were cute:
*If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?
*If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to start speaking?
*Marriages are made in Heaven. But then again, so are thunder and lightning.
I thought you might like those. I did.
Here's some good advice from kids:
1.) Never trust a dog to watch your food. -Patrick, age 10
2.) When your dad is mad and asks you, "Do I look stupid?" Don't answer. -Hannah, age 9
3.) Never hold a dustbuster and a cat at the same time. -Kyoko, age 10
4.) When your mom is mad at your dad, don't let her brush your hair. -Thalia, age 8
5.) A puppy always has bad breath- even after eating a Tic-Tac. -Andrew, age 7
We can all live well each day- with laughter, the Lord, and love from our friends and family.
POPPY FLOWERS FOR SPRING:
When winter lingers too long, find a packet of poppy seeds and scatter them over the snow. They'll do best in a previously cultivated spot, but even a grassy slope will show their determined germination come springtime.*
WATERING TIPS FOR HOUSEPLANTS:
* Water plants with distilled or bottled water to avoid a buildup of toxic salts.
* Spray plants with a mixture of 1/4 teaspoon castile soap and 1 quart water to deter aphids and other common winter bugs.
* If a houseplant's leaves turn brown and crinkly, create a more humid environment. Set the pot on a tray of pebbles and fill the tray with water to add humidity. Keep the water level just below the bottom of the pot.
* Save the water when you clean the fish tank and use it for your houseplants.*
HOME REMEDIES FOR EARACHES, COLDS, AND HEADACHES:
*For a mild earache, a warm heating pad can ease the pain. Keep the heat low.
Consult your Doctor if the pain persists.
*To prevent colds and sore throats from circulating in the family, soak toothbrushes in mouthwash. Be sure each family member keeps his or her toothbrush seperate -don't just pile them all in the same cup. After a hard bought of sickness in the family, I truly believe it helps tremendously, to throw out all the old toothbrushes. -just throw them away- It's always a treat to use a new toothbrush and should any little bad germs want to hang on, they'll be long gone.
* Sinus headaches, common when we're shut up inside with dry indoor heat, respond well to aromatic steam. Boil sprigs of lavendar, rosemary, pine, or thyme (alone or in combination), make a tent with a towel over your head, and inhale the steam.
* If you have a ringing in the ears, it may be tinnitus. Try avoiding aspirin, caffeine and quinine.*
COMMONPLACES NEVER BECOME TIRESOME. IT IS WE WHO BECOME TIRED WHEN WE CEASE TO BECOME CURIOUS AND APPRECIATIVE. -NORMAN ROCKWELL
Have a Wonderful day!
A day rich with the little things of life. We 're blessed to have them! -your friend, Missygirl*

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SABBATH!!!!!..........................
Have I ever mentioned to you that I am a Reverend?
Well, it's true. I was ordained on December 29, 2005. I have all rights and privileges to perform all duties of the Ministry. I love the Lord God with all my heart; My Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Without God, my life would be worthless and I would be nothing.
I remember when I was young. I never thought about the future. At least I don't remember that I did. I just handled life as it came to me, day by day, the best I could. The best I knew how. I never thought I would end up being sick. I never really thought about anything. I was just interested in playing around. I was never taught the things that I needed to learn. My parents weren't much for teaching. They figured I'd learn on my own, I guess. They never told me about this life, they never told me that after we're done with this one, there's another. (They might not have told me, because they might not have known.) I know now, and you need to know.
You need to listen. I know that you believe there is a God. (please don't act like you don't want to hear this. I was that way too! I didn't want to hear. It's humiliating to say, but I used to make fun of people who love God; That's how wicked I was, I thought they were stupid, when it was me who was the stupid one.) I want to tell you how much He loves you. Jesus loves you.
The bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." "There is none righteous; No, not one." Everybody has sinned. The Bible tells us that the price we have to pay when we die, for the sins we've committed is HELL for ALL ETERNITY. No one can get to Heaven because they've been good; (or better than some, or not as bad as others, or because they can remember when they've done some good things, or didn't do some bad things, etc.) Nothing that isn't HOLY can enter Heaven. God knew this, He knew that without Him, there was no hope for the human race. So, God provided a way that the lost could be saved. His Son, our Creator, The Lord Jesus Christ, came down from Heaven; He was born of a virgin for one purpose. The sins that we've committed, He came to pay (for us) the penalty that was required for those actions. He knew that the penalty required was going to cost Him the shedding of His Precious Blood. He knew that we needed a Redeemer, a Savior, Someone Pure, someone Holy. The price for our sins had to be paid! He came to die for us; and He did, on a Cross. He was beaten so badly, He didn't even look human. We might be able to imagine someone giving their life, to save the life of a real good person, but I wasn't good. I wasn't Holy....and He died for me on that Cross. And He died for you. If you were the only person, He would have died just for you. That is how much He loves us. What He did on that Cross was His gift to you and me. He was sinless, and He died for the sinful. I remember a preacher telling about the early days of his ministry, he was talking to a young girl and he said, "Honey, wouldn't you like to confess to the Lord that you're a sinner and that you need Him to be your Savior?" Her mom walked into the room and said, " Sinner?...Sinner?...my little girl isn't a sinner. She's never done anything wrong. She's only 15 years old!" The preacher said, "Oh, ...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Her mother said, "My daughter doesn't need to be a Christian." The daughter just smiled and looked so self-satisfied. She said no to the Gift, no to the preacher's Savior.
The preacher left, went on down the road...phone rings, it's the girl's mother, she says,
" Preacher, can you come back and preach my daughter's funeral? She's gone."
She sat in her living room and said she didn't need Jesus! She made her decision.
15 years old and in Hell. That was more than 45 years ago, and she's no more closer to leaving hell today, than the day she arrived. She'll be there for eternity. Her choice was Heaven or Hell. She chose Hell. That's a choice we all have to make. Ignoring Jesus, or ignoring these chances that we get, to accept Him as our Savior, means choosing Hell.
If you know that you're not saved, yet you've found yourself in a place of decision, then you understand that God loved you so much, that He sent His Son to die for you; But you also realize that you never accepted that love and asked the Lord Jesus to be your Savior. Please surrender to Him now and pray this simple prayer:
My dear Lord Jesus, I understand that I'm a sinner, and now more than ever before, I realize that I need You. I believe You are God's one and only Son. I believe You came to earth and walked as a man. I believe that You died on a cross to pay the price for my sins. (To redeem me)
And I believe that You Rose again. With that faith my Lord Jesus, I ask You to forgive me for all the sins that I've committed. Please come into my heart and wash me white as snow. I confess that from this day forward, You shall be my Lord and I will live for You, and I will be waiting for You on the day You come to call me Home to Heaven with You. I praise You and thank You for saving me. In Your Precious name I pray, Jesus, AMEN.
<>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <><
I love you all so much, I had to tell you about my Lord. I'll be praying that you will make your Decision for the Lord. It will change your life. Blessings! -Missygirl*

WHAT EXACTLY IS GROUNDHOG DAY?.......
Groundhog Day is February 2nd of each year. According to American folk tradition, the groundhog leaves the burrow where it has been hibernating, to discover whether cold winter weather will continue. If the groundhog cannot see it's shadow, it remains above ground, ending it's hibernation; But if it's shadow is visible, then six more weeks of cold weather will continue, and the animal returns to it's burrow.
Threats against Phil have been surfacing.
I've heard tell that should Punxsutawney Phil (the plaintiff, I mean Mr. Groundhog) see his shadow, He will be taken down. ...Well that's the word on the street.
Websters definition of groundhog: a small burrowing rodent.
The Cyber definition: an annoying little critter who always reminds us we are going to have more winter.
Websters definition of winter: fourth season; in northern latitudes, period between winter solistice and vernal equinox; any dismal gloomy time.
The Cyber definition: snow, snow and more snow. Much more snow.
Websters definition of snow: frozen vapor which falls in flakes; snowfall; mass of flakes on the ground.
The Cyber definition: The stuff that gives us cabin fever.
It looks like there is no definition for 'cabin fever' in Websters.
Cabin fever is something we catch when we're stuck in the house because we can't go anywhere; Not that we want to go, it's just knowing we can't that makes us looney.
So... let's hope for a beautiful gloomy morning so that rat-boy can't see crap! Shall we?
HAVE A GLORIOUS DAY!!!!-however it comes to us... Blessings! -Missygirl*

WE'VE STARTED A BEAUTIFUL NEW MONTH -FEBRUARY!
I was just reading that if it snows today, that indicates a wet spring is ahead!
Very nice! We do want to have a vegetable garden this year. It will be our first since we moved into this house. It was drought for a long while here, not really worth the time and effort before. Hopefully, this year will be different. I wanted to tell you... I don't think we're going to sell books on e-Bay anymore. They want to charge more money for each sale, and also they are thinking about making everyone charge taxes to the people who buy. (Basically we would need to know the sales tax of 49,000 different counties across the US, and charge accordingly, to be ready to mail that, in a payment, to the IRS at the end of the year.) I feel as if doing that would give us a heart attack, while they are nickel and dimeing us to death at the same time. We had fun for awhile, but it wouldn't be worth the headache. So until further notice, mrbrownsbooks is no more. Should they decide against instituting the tax issue, we could start it up again. I'll for sure let you know; Thank you to all of you faithful ones! I really mean that.
O.K. ....... Do you guys know where -OK- originally came from? It was during a war, where someone held up a sign that said it. It meant: zero killed. (O=zero + K=killed. OK. )
I thought that was kind of interesting.
GINGER for Warmth and Comfort
Sea captains kept ginger among their rations, and civil war tonics included it as a morale booster.
Here are some suggestions for using ginger to give yourself a boost:
* After a hard day, mix some ginger into an herbal oil and use it to massage sore muscles.
* Try ginger tea for morning sickness or menstrual distress.
* Add a few drops of ginger oil or some grated fresh ginger to hot bathwater. A good soak in gingered water will help you sweat away what ails you.*
"Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you."

Always having you on my mind. Blessings! -Missygirl
