Hello Again...

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly.  He was 71.  Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.  Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.  The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.  Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers.  He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven.  He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.  The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the occasion and take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone else who may be having a crumby day and kneads it!

 
Much Love, Linda

Hello's to everyone!

 A very good friend of mine sent this to me today and I wanted to pass it on to the rest of you's!  Hope you are all enjoying this Labor Day Weekend!  God Bless Everyone!

"Laborer's Song"
 
From the mountain and the valley,
   From the wayside and the glen,
From the street and from the alley,
   Come the songs of working men.

Where the fire is brightly glowing,
  By the furnace and the mold,
Where the lurid flame is flowing,
   Labor's songs are sung and told.

Where the hammers ply the quiest,
   And the anvil's notes resound,
Where the sparks are flying thickest,
   There do labor's songs abound.

Where the husbandman is plowing,
   Throwing up the yielding soil,
And the sower busy sowing
   That which yields him bread for toil;

Where the sickle gleams so brightly,
   As the reaper strides along;
Where the gleaners follow lightly,
   There they chant the labor song.

Where the ponderous wheels are rushing,
   In the mill so worn and old, —
Hark ! the songs of labor gushing
   As are crushed the grains of gold.

Thus, from mountain and from valley,
   From the wayside and the glen,
From busy street and crowded alley,
   Come the songs of working men & women.

Much Love, Linda

The 6 most annoying things kids say -- and the best ways to respond:

by Gayla on August 23rd, 2007

Ever wonder how to respond to any of the following?

“Mine!”

“It’s not fair.”

“You’re not the boss of me.”

“I want it now!”

“You never let me do anything.”

“I don’t like you.”

Now, I’ve found how the professionals say parents should respond to these types of

statements, but I’m curious as to how parents actually do respond.

We all know that the professionals aren’t always right! Right?

Now, once you’ve let your own responses, check out what the professionals say and

see how you measure up.

Good Morning Everyone!

Just a reminder to let you all know that May 3rd is National Day of Prayer....Please use this day to pray for our country, our troops, your families, your friends, the world!  Don't forget to go here as well:  www.nationaldayofprayer.org 

Lord's Prayer

Our Father Who Art In Heaven, Hallowed By Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven;  Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread;  And Forgive Us Our Trespasses As We Forgive Those Who Trespass Against Us, And Lead Us Not Into Temptation But Deliver Us From Evil, For Thine Is The Kingdom and The Power And The Glory Forever And Ever.  Amen

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred,let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
 
  - St. Francis of Assisi -

Almighty God, we pause to reflect on Your character 
as we seek wisdom for such a time as this.

In these unsafe days,
You remain all-powerful and able to protect;

In these uncertain times,
You remain all-knowing, leading us aright;

In the unprecedented events we're facing,
You remain absolutely sovereign.
Our times are in Your hands.

Therefore, our dependence on You, is total, not partial
. . . our need for Your forgiveness is constant
. . . our gratitude for Your grace is profound
. . . our love for You is deep.

We ask that You guard and guide our President
and all who serve the people of these United States.
May uncompromising integrity mark their lives.

We also ask that You unite us as truly "one nation,
under God." May genuine humility return to our ranks.
And may that blend of integrity and humility
heal our land.

In our Lord's name we pray,

Amen.

Much Love, Linda

April is National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month

Help End Violence Against Women:    You Can Make a Difference

Sign the Petition From Lifetimetv.com:

Tell Congress to fund critical programs that help thousands of victims of domestic, dating and sexual violence. In just a single day, domestic violence programs served nearly 50,000 adults and children in the United States.*  These programs provide emergency shelter, counseling and legal services critical to families trying to escape abusive homes and break the cycle of violence.

Every 2.5 minutes another American is sexually assaulted.** Rape crisis centers, schools and clinics across the country offer medical assistance, counseling and prevention programs.Today, these lifesaving programs are in jeopardy if Congress does not decide to fully fund the landmark Violence Against Women Act of 2005, which Lifetime viewers helped to make law.

You can help again! Make your voice heard by signing this petition to urge Congress to give the funding needed to keep the doors of shelters, rape crisis centers, and prevention programs open and ready to rebuild lives and make communities safer.
