You got me thinking (and not only of golden pee!) so I dug around and this is the best I could come up with, from wiki.answers.com: Dictionary.com does not provide a word origin but notes the phrase emerged in the 1950s. Unconfirmed sources say that Merrill Lynch Investments used the phrase in...

The loneliest time I can remember is the early days after finding out I had cancer. And yet as DIANAC stated, it's exactly those times when we have the opportunity to draw closer to God. When I finally turned to Him, He drew me so close to His heart that it changed me irrevocably. People...

Much needed gentle rain that was not over-abundant. (My heart just goes out to the folks in Arkansas!)

*** waves from the outskirts of the Eagles ***

Warmest congratulations to you . . "Gramma!" :clap: May you sense a bond with her that's even more wonderful than what you felt with your children!

Oh dear . . I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. I cannot begin to imagine what you're going through, but pray for a strength and peace that transcends your best hopes. May it carry you when all other resources fail you. Yes, there truly is a beauty in her eyes that are apparent even to...

Over the years, I've found many ways to "relax" . . usually my favorite would be somewhere near (or IN) water . . . hot sudsy bubblebaths with a good book, plopped down near a lake or the ocean (especially at sunset), flying across the surface in a boat of some sort . . or those times when...

My goodness . . with all the things being cut in these days of tight budgets, your job seems to me more valuable than some of the other things left untouched. Our community would definitely suffer if our state took on the same attitude, as we have a tremendous and long-established "workshop"...

Today I'm just so grateful that I don't have to endure chemotherapy treatments . . and I will be grateful tomorrow, and the day after . .

Praying for each request, knowing He answers as if it were the only thing needing His attention. I especially felt touched by Sue's plea for freedom to see the richness of His tender love for her, since that was something I struggled with so personally as well. One of the many things given to...

Stumbling across some truly GOOD, talented Christian poets . . what a treat!

My first post-surgical shower in 19 days!! (washing has been a 3 part process for the duration, so I'm happy to have it integrated into one again!) ;) Thankful for a good soaking rain yesterday as well . . after nearly a full month without a drop! He is soooo good . . .

Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day . . I very very rarely ever eat out, and either have a mixture of high fiber cereals with plain yogurt and fruit, or fry one egg in a non-stick pan without oil or butter with chopped fresh kale and a little salt and pepper, then sprinkle...

Hello Annie . . I've had residents where I work who have macular degeneration, and it's heartbreaking. I've radically altered my own diet since finding I have cancer. While I don't think I could eat sardines if my life depended on it :) I'm so grateful many of these important nutrients...

Wow . . it brought me to tears to find you've continued to pray for me even when I haven't checked in for so long. Thank you seems so inadequate. I've had my surgery (mastectomy on the right with the sentinal node probe finding NO cells in the lymph nodes, mercifully!) on Sept 3, and am home...

Mmmmm . . while I've no advice for you on any of those recipes (the only jam I make is rhubarb) the title of your thread set my mouth to watering! I wish you resounding success in your efforts! ~~ and kind of wish we could be there sampling ~~ ;)

Thank you Kaykay . . yes, I'm recovering well enough, all things considered, and am trying to get myself mentally prepared for chemo next . . Jan, blueberries are MY favorite fruit! I wish I lived closer to where they grow :)

Same as Michael's . . but cooled by refreshing rain at the moment, intersprinkled with cracks of lightning and thunder. Rare for us this summer.
