Vanessa & Hodgepodge
MMMmm...good. This was breakfast today: Grits with sharp cheddar, garlic, onion and fresh Italian parsley. Fascinating story HERE on Ethiopian Church Forests.

Hodgepodge
I found this very cool photography/art site and had to share:
Hundreds of Tourist Photos Weaved Into One. Do scroll to the bottom of the page when you are done and click on some of the other art projects, many of the projects are G-rated and cool.
Truths For Mature Humans (I tweaked the original one that went around via facebook, email forwards and blogs)
1. Ask yourself, is it true, is it kind, and/or is it necessary before you pass along any information.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? (After years of trial and error, house-wifery, & some semi-OCD tendencies I have actually come to terms with that one, sort of.)
6. Was learning algebra really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.
13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this – ever.
15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone I know the entire day. What a waste. Conversely, when I leave the house in my sweaty, bleach marked housework/work-out sweats, on a quick, unplanned trip to the post office, or to grab one quick item from the store, I know I run into plenty of people I know.
17. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
19. I appreciate kindness now more than ever.
20. I wish Google Maps had an warning for bad neighborhoods and areas of town; and excessive and lengthy construction zones.
21. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it. Same goes for songs.
22. There is no reason to make low-rise jeans for plus-sized people. I am plus-sized and I don't appreciate it, in fact I'm tired of seeing low rise on any body size.
23. Irregardless is not a real word, can we please agree to stop its usage?
24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
25. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?
26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
28. Someone said, "Profanity is the effort of a feeble mind to express itself forcibly." Mark Twain said, "When angry, count to four. When very angry, swear." Can we all agree that cussing is so common it has lost its meaning, and then agree to do it infrequently so that it will actually be shocking again, or dare I even say appropriate in the rarest of situations?
29. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
30. As a driver I'm annoyed by pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I'm annoyed by drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I'm usually annoyed by (and fear) bicyclists.
31. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

Messageboards and other random thoughts
At one time participating in a few message-boards was a lifeline for me. I really enjoyed the discourse about various subjects from a wide variety of people. I used to visit a parenting board, a self-help board, and tinkered around in some hobby boards. They can be quite interesting.
I have 3 all-time favorites, and here are two of them:
Hippie Christian Family and ChristianBoard
~
I like saying and writing "all-time favorite."
~
I like Alton Brown.
~
I was thinking about California because I lived there a long time ago, and because the little town where I lived had a huge Pumpkin Festival each year. It was known for growing pumpkins, flowers and Brussels sprouts.
Speaking of things that grow in California...I have been seeing a few shows about legalizing marijuana in California. I just know that if pot were legal and I finagled a prescription, me and my family would be in a heap of trouble. I am just amazed that people can get a prescription and there are little pharmacies that sell the stuff.
Anyway, I miss Half Moon Bay sometimes. It was/is a beautiful place.

Weird Thought, #1.
Do you remember the old TV show The Addams Family? When Morticia the wife would say a word or two in French, husband Gomez would shower her hand and arm with kisses. My following thought, odd and inappropriate perhaps, is along those lines. It crossed my mind nonetheless. I'll fully disclose in a minute, bear with me as I set it up. I thought this thought because I had watched the move Sling Blade (good movie) for the first time in years and years. Then, I heard 80's hair band Poison's "Talk Dirty to Me" (never liked that song or band). Here is how it went in my (twisted) mind:
Poison song + Sling Blade + Morticia & Gomez = What if one was turned on by their beloved speaking sweet nothings to them in an unusual character's accent? Like Yosemite Sam's voice or Witch Hazel? Think about it the next time your sweetheart is whispering tender words of love, imagine those words in a rather unusual voice, and you will probably giggle and wish you could stop thinking about that.

More Hodgepodge - Humor
These made me smile.
Funny Christmas:
One of my all-time favorite comedy sketches. This never ceases to literally make me laugh out loud, still after all these years.
I found another funny site for Christian parody, The Sacred Sandwich, see also Lark News and The Holy Observer. Fun, fun, funny.

Funny Blogs
I find myself checking on these blogs every other week or so. I'd like to tell you they are spiritually uplifting or intellectually challenging, but actually they are simply for fun. I think I have laughed until I cried a time or two over at Cake Wrecks. Cake Wrecks is a site that posts pictures of actual bakery cakes that are, well, wrecks. Check it out and you'll see what I mean. "The Cake That Started It All" will give you a feel for the site.
I recently came across Awkward Family Photos, and now I'm hooked. I actually have my own awkward photo of Flora and I on the Atlantis ride at Sea World, similar to this joyride. When I locate it I just might send it in.
Fail can also be funny. It also has a nifty G-rated feature. (I hope you don't mind me using the word nifty two days in a row. I'm bringin' nifty back. Use the word nifty today as a sign of solidarity with me!)
Anyway, back to subject of G-Ratings in regards to the sites. Allow me to make a disclaimer that I'm not sure if you will find racy or inappropriate content on those sites, so far I haven't seen anything bad, but you never know, and I wouldn't want to offend or lead astray.
I'm not ashamed to admit it, I haven't yet grown tired of the Lolcats over at "I can haz cheezburger."

Hodgepodge
I have posted a few interesting links for your reading pleasure. They are a hodgepodge of things interesting, serious and humorous. Enjoy. Emma Spaulding Bryant letters
from here.
A fascinating collection of letters written by Mrs. Bryant to her husband during the summer of 1873. I know it sounds rather dry, but begin to read one or two of them and I think you will also be fascinated by the dynamics of their conversation. They are not very long.
Funny Image
Five Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Kids DoI think he makes a really good point, and I feel like I have been a bit too sheltering and protective as a parent myself. So, it’s a good reminder.
I really enjoy the TV show Lost. This trailer will update you on what’s been happening lately.Previously On Lost
The above were found here.
10 Things Information Technology Workers Want Users To Know From here.10 Reasons I Wish I Could Be More Like SpongeBob Squarepants from here.And finally this one is for Big Daddy. Happy Anniversary, baby.
