I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year
"Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown."
And he replied,
"Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way."
So I went forth and finding the Hand of God
Trod gladly into the night
He led me towards the hills
And the breaking of day in the lone east.
So heart be still!
What need our human life to know
If God hath comprehension?
In all the dizzy strife of things
Both high and low,
God hideth His intention.
--Minnie Louise Harkins (1875-1957)
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away.
And after all, I'm only sleeping.
Was watching some old episodes of Paula's Home Cooking on the Food Channel the other day. I love Paula Deen, everything I've seen her make looks good. From the deep fried pork chops, to lemon squares, to chicken pot pie, to peanut butter fudge...she just makes everything look wonderful.
She finally made something I don't care for. Fried okra. She called it the "popcorn of the South"....erm, okay, lol. I had some before, maybe the batch I had was bad, but I just didn't care for it. Maybe it's an acquired taste. When I was growing up, my parents weren't food adventurists, and about the only veggies we had were carrots, potatoes, celery, green beans, and corn. In various combinations. I always thought I hated vegetables but then I realized it was just the way my mom cooked them...she cooked the hell out of them. Blech.
When I got older, I discovered I actually like veggies very much. I can eat me a ton of brussels sprouts, green beans, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. Just about anything but spinach.
But okra? Dunno. Maybe I need to re-visit it later. Or maybe it goes good with something, and I need to find that something.
I wish Paula Deen gave master cooking classes. I would be there in two shakes.

Don't bother- I know some people like it, and it is a staple in the south- I personally can't stand the taste, and cooking it is the slimiest undertaking you will ever deal with.
But if you like that kind of thing, look for Bob Blumer's popcorn cauliflower- it ROCKS
Loves me some Paula, whenever her Show comes on I say to J, "Hey, wonder which Food Group she'll pick from next":
-Butter
-Sour Cream
-Cheese
-Bacon
-Deep Fried
..Those *all* are Food Groups, yes?

lol
I'm partial to the one that says:
"It takes 42 muscles to frown, but only 8 to slap the shit outta somebody"
Great educational words for the holidays...lol
For those who need a good laugh, this was taken off failbook.com....
"Please post a picture of your (or someone else's) ass for colon cancer awareness. The goal is to see nothing but asses on Facebook by Jan. 1. We're not sure how, but somehow this will surely cure colon cancer for good. Repost if you're not an awful, terrible person who hates puppies."
:P

Wait- Facebook is already papered with asses...lol
Heh, Red! You got it ..
I was listening to the radio at work, the station was playing some golden oldies Christmas music. As they went for a break, the dj says "Do you know there is a Christmas song that encourages you to drink poison?"
I was dumbfounded. Huh? "That's right, " said the dj. "Next time you listen to Burl Ives' Holly Jolly Christmas, wait till he gets to the point where it says "I don't know if there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer."
Cheer. LMAO. To those not in the US, it's a laundry detergeant.
Great. Now I won't be able to hear that song without thinking of a cleaning product!
COMMENTS
LOL...great now when I do laundry that song will be stuck in my head...I use cheer detergeant
Considering where you work it's probably nothing new :P
Wow....for a minute there I thought that kismet said "Love is an enema."
Well, I suppose it CAN be. :P

O.-
Whatever floats your boat, I suppose...lol
but...eeww?
Heh well love shows itself in many different ways.
BubblegumClaudia, you have seen fit to block me for some reason. I have never spoken to you. You rated me recently and I rated back, a 10.
So why the block?
COMMENTS
SYSTEM says: Maybe she didn't have enough fun picking on 2 teens on here and blocking them. She wants blocks; that or ice cream. o.o I can't tell when she keeps acting like a neglected child.
xD Maybe she thinks you're me, lol.
She tried to start with me earlier. :P
... Hi Indulgy! :D
I vote for confusion.
Jealous of your awesomeness.
Or for a quick link to your profile, to look at all that chocolate. Goddamn.
