need new fridge magnets?...

Advertised as "humorous religious fridge magnets are sure to offend friend and foe, saved and unsaved, alike."

This could be a very irreverent way to boost your Christian faith - at least, they sure got me to thinking how this could turn my fridge into a conversation piece - seems to be the room in my home where most folk gather :)

thanx frodo, later man, jan

God is all over YouTube...

Search the word God and say goodbye to the rest of your evening... but we all need to explore new ideas at times. Phil sent me to GodInc and I enjoyed God is a DJ but the one that really hooked me was MrDeity - I mean really... that's just who I am, I have to see them all!

Nova Scotia citizens missing...

Here's a link to a site calling all Nova Scotians suffering from Delusional Calgaria - check out the intervention video for help.

I think they are actually serious... to quote...
"Some Nova Scotians have been away from home far to long" ...
so, this is a friendly reminder about the province left behind and how it has changed. The New Nova Scotia is offering far more opportunities and the unbeatable quality of life remains unchanged.

Peter is 6

Peter had a great time today with a birthday breakfast followed by fun at Sunday School and then all those friends and family to come for supper --- it's a joy to see him so happy...
Having company is very hard work so after a long day, Morgan goes off to bed... but he is getting very good at giving night night kisses :)
Uncle Phil goes home to his computer and his comics and Pippin - he also had a long day putting together light sabers and hatching dinosaur eggs...
John and me - well we are just going to crash :) as usual.

Spent any time planning your funeral??

Just thinking here...

I was singing one of my favourite hymns in church today and thinking I should add it to the list that is in my computer under 'thoughts for my funeral' --- you know, that file that John will never find in a million years, even if he remembers to look:)

Then I was reading a discussion on WonderCafe about this green alternative to cremation. I had always wanted to be cremated because - God forbid - if for some reason I am aware of what is happening, I sure don't like worms and stuff. And cremation appears the only other choice.

So today I hear about this freeze-dry alternative. Seems that after you are quick frozen and dried out, they can shake you to fine dust and put you in a jar. That way I could still be taken over the mountains (in a bio-diesel powered automobile) and scattered around at Beaton and add my little bit to the beauty of the spring flowers.

I googled the concept and found a link to the Redwood Funeral Society where they talk about the process, known as promession, that has been developed in Sweden and aims to address the shortage of burial spaces and reduce the mercury pollution created by dental fillings during cremation.

This news is from 2005 so I think that if dental fillings are the only ecological issue, then I am fine with cremation because my teeth are all store-bought. But if cremation also uses too much energy and adds toxins to the air (who me? toxic?) well, then, you guys left behind better look for a better solution thanx.

So well, whatever you think, I won't really have a choice after I'm gone - but maybe this post will stick in your mind anyway :)

So how brain dead are you???

Try this, won't you? CBC has this mental gym - where you can warm up for the Test the Nation: IQ...

I tried. Doh! It appears I only have 70% left in my brain and during the test I was actually getting frantically worried that it was even worse...

Let me know how you do... try it and find out how short 20 seconds really is...
