I don’t deal well with losses.
Last night we sold our little Tercel. It made me sad and kept me up part of the night. He (he is a “he” to me although people say cars are female) was such a good little car for us. He was easy to maneuver, got good gas mileage, the radio and air conditioning worked great, and the paint job was not faded though it was a 12-year-old car.

Anne Shirley was faced with a life-changing decision. Will she pursue her own dream of going to college or will she give it up to stay at Green Gables to care for the aging Marilla?
No problem in this relationship:
There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for me, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him, and that’s exactly what we do. We do nothing for each other all the time, that’s right. :)
Heard this on Family Life radio program on the topic of conflicts in a marriage.
Roger Federer won the U.S. Open today – no surprise there.
I read in the Parade Magazine that Paris Hilton dropped out of school in the 11th grade to do modeling. She said she eventually earned her GED.
A comic:Â Waitress saying, “The hotcakes are selling like Harry Potter books!”
Nicole Kidman turned 40 in June. She looks pretty good.
This is really neat. You can look on a map the location of a place found in any passage in the Bible, and even information about each place. What a good use of Google maps.

“So how are you doing?” my sister asked me yesterday.
My first thought of response was very negative: “Real estate is in the dumps, we couldn’t afford to go on vacation this summer, how do you think I am?”
But then I thought, am I really doing badly? Why do I evaluate my life based on work? Aside from business and finances, what else is going on with my life?
Everyone seems to have a list of advice for the college freshmen.
Here’s mine, for anyone in college:
1. Don’t believe everything you hear or read. Just because your professor said it or it’s printed in a book doesn’t mean it’s true. Don’t allow your mind to go into neutral and accept everything. Check other sources. After you read other points of view, you can come to your own conclusions, which may be different from your professor’s. It is especially important to be a critical thinker in the social sciences.
“If brains were dynamite, you couldn’t blow your nose!”
From yesterday’s Brewster Rockit comic.
One thing I don’t like about some comics and comedies is that the dads/men always seem to be the brunt of the joke. They are the morons and the women roll their eyes at them. Seems to me a feminist attitude.…
Amy unfortunately inherited my allergy problems resulting in frequent post nasal drip. It causes soreness in her throat and a nauseous feeling. It is not fun. I should know because I have post nasal drip practically year-round.
Everyday Amy asks to be prayed for. And I do pray for her everyday. And everyday the post nasal drip still bothers her.
First day of school for me this year was different…I had to take only one child to school.
When school started with Elliot as a Kindergartener, Audrey had to come with us to drop him off. So there’s always been at least 2 kids to get ready for school. For several years, there were 3 to take to different schools with different schedules.
