Calling 9-1-1 for Sauce


Oh, this is one of the funniest news stories I've heard in a long time. A man in Jacksonville, FL called 9-1-1 because the workers at Subway did not make his sandwich the way he wanted. Apparently, he wanted sauce on his sandwich and when they refused, he became enraged. The subway workers had to lock the costumer outside the restaurant which angered the man even more.
To retaliate, the man called 9-1-1 to report a no saucing :) After a few moments, he called again because the officers were taking too long. When the officers arrived, he would not calm down or listen to the explanation of the proper use of 9-1-1. Obviously, he was arrested on the charge of making false 9-1-1 calls.

Why you shouldn't eat right before swimming...

You've heard it said that you shouldn't swim right after you eat. Do you usually listen to this advice? I don't. Well, maybe I will take that a little more seriously now. I have a 2 year old nephew that has been learning to swim this Summer. He is doing great but still seems to swallow a lot of water in the process.
Normally, this is not a big deal. You know, just extra wet diapers the rest of the day and some big time burps.
But, there is a small issue when we do some swimming lessons right after eating. Last night, we decided that it had been about 30 minutes since he ate and we were gonna give it a try. Ummm... you see where this is going, don't you? That's right, after only a couple of minutes, he came up to float on his back and as he got above the water (on his back), he released the floodgates. Because he was laying on his back, I grabbed him quickly and turned him over.
What a way to end a swimming lesson. After all the vomit that has been seen these last couple weeks, this was just the addition we needed.
So, THAT'S why they say not to go swimming right after you eat. I've always wondered.

We're Gonna Miss You!

My good friend, Jen, and her family are moving today to Tennessee. We have had a lot of good times over the years and I am going to miss them bunches! My little boy has no idea what is going on. He loves to play with Andon (their 5 year old) because he is one of the few boys his age. We have girls everywhere and Jordan enjoys having a boy around once in a while. Andon is the only kid that Jordan has had sleep-over parties with (which he thinks is just the coolest, by the way) so far and is really going to miss his friend.
When I was talking to Jordan about them moving, he asked if he could go to. Hmmm... I'm still thinking about the answer:) I don't think he really understands what is going on. I think he is gonna miss those kid's meals and chocolate milk, too :)

Jen, you may not like this, but I thought I must post one of my favorite pictures of you here. This picture has never been seen on the internet before.
Just to be fair, I have now incriminated everyone!! Ha, ha! Hmmm... Where were you in that pic? Thanks for making me laugh and going along with my crazy ideas! You have been a great friend and I am going to miss you. I'll be working on that roommate situation. And, I definitely will be making some trips to a cabin near you!
I will be praying for you to find a church and friends (and neighbors) that will become a close-knit community for your family.
LOVE YA!!

How Can People Actually Believe This?!!


I came across this headline yesterday and it just stunned me that people (smart people) can actually believe such crap! The basic story is saying that life on earth could have developed (billions of years ago, by the way) from diamonds!! That's right, diamonds started life. That makes so much more sense than a God with order and design! Sometimes, this kind of stuff really gets under my skin.
