What a sad song
Pretty but sad

What a sad song
Pretty but sad

The only Criteria for judging a song in MHO are what kind of emotion they arose in you.

I can use some help if anyone has time to do some thinking for me!!
I am doing way too much soap to keep trying to melt 8 lbs at a time in the microwave, and when I move all this mess downstairs I wont have a microwave large enough, nor do I want one down there, anyways, I was thinking about how to melt oils to the right temp, say 116-125 degrees in a big pot with a bottom spicket, or a already made heat thermo pot that is electric, I was thinking just using the pots that come with the outdoor propane turkey fryers, and either wrap with ???????????? some sort of thermostat enabled wrapping, OR something like a fish tank heater? but I am not sure !! this is my deal not my husbands thats what I get back from him <sniffles> but I need to simplify so I can keep up with the bulk and its not even near gift giving season!! I have tons to make and not enough time. I REALLY APPRECIATE ANY THING YOU CAN COME UP WITH that is cost effective and WORKS!!!

I was finally going to live my own life, and get my teaching degree. I was thinking high school special ed, mayyybe middle school. Life happened, I’m here now.
I seriously don’t think I’d have been able to deal with kids today. Who knows? Maybe I would have adjusted. It seems other people allow things to change more easily because they are desensitized to it. I’m listening to a 5-y-o call her chest a word that makes me sick, and used the “F” word at me. She learned it from her Christian parents. I can’t deal.

Kids today are still just kids. We get them for five days at a time in the summer. We do not allow watches or electronics. And I t takes a solid day or two for them to detox. And then they’re kids with their hands and feet in the dirt, playing basketball, picking flowers, and petting chickens. They didn’t know they liked lying in the grass and counting shooting stars until we asked them to try.

Everything at camp is “challenge by choice,” meaning they have to option to refuse any activity at any time. Turns out they didn’t know they love hiking. They didn’t know they were strong enough to climb a rock wall or brave enough to swim in the deep end.

I know my perspective and experiences are limited, but I have a lot of hope for kids today.

Speaking of hope, here’s Josie the murder dog, nearly fully rehabilitated. I still don’t leave her unattended, but I can have her off leash while I do chores!
