You know you are too old to Trick or Treat when:
10. You get winded from knocking on the door.
9. You have to have another kid chew the candy for you.
8. You refuse to waste good eggs and toilet paper on pranks.
7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your
balance and fall over.
6. People say: "Great Boris Karloff Mask,"
and you're not wearing a mask.
5. When the door opens you yell, "Trick or ...."
and can't remember the rest.
4. The diapers you're wearing aren't part of your costume.
3. You lose your teeth while bobbing for apples.
2. You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker.
And the number one reason Seniors should not go Trick Or Treating...

1. You get lost walking around the block.
Daily Word for Good Friday
Apr. 14th, 2006 10:17 amReleasing the past, I embrace a new way of life.
On the cross, Jesus prepared Himself for new life by releasing the past, and that release began with forgiveness.
Even in the appearance of death, Jesus prayed for those who persecuted Him,
"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
Whatever I may be going through, I understand there is a new experience of life waiting for me.
I, too, can grow into an awareness of new possibilities by releasing the past and forgiving those who appear to have caused me pain.
I forgive anyone whose actions or inactions have affected me negatively.
I forgive myself and release false beliefs about how things could have been.
In the depths of my being, I forgive, knowing that with this release I embrace a new way of life.
Then Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Luke 23:46

New Year's Eve
Dec. 31st, 2005 09:57 amTo prepare you intellectually for the New Year's celebrations (and the parties where you'll have to converse before getting tipsy and need trivia to fill the gaps) here is a website about the holiday, and more than you wanted to know about the traditions.
I'll be having black eyed peas and cabbage tomorrow, which is the Southern Thing. We call it a Prosperity Dinner... the cabbage is for money and the peas are for good health. They are usually cooked with fatback or ham hock, as the pig symbolizes prosperity.

| Big Star A shiny etoile to make everyone happy. Color it! |
It could be a Christmas tree star. It could be a Pentacle. It could just be the Supernova indicating the arrival of the Apocalypse. Color it and have happy thoughts.

| A Nast(y) Hug "Gimme what I want, or I'll throttle you, Old Man." |
As I told someone earlier today, I just can't look at these old pictures without some sort of perverse dialogue going through my head. This one made me think of Stewie from "Family Guy". Doesn't this Thomas Nast kid scream, "Bring me Plutonium! Your uppance will come!"?
