Hmmm, now I'm even more confused. LOL I thought it was sung by a woman. I guess it's a pride thing with me to be sure I'm right before I post my answer. Thanks, waysiderman! It's still fun since we're snowed in. Maybe I'll have an RC Cola and maybe hot cocoa. Hmmm, decisions, decisions... lol

I know what it's called and who wrote it, but I don't think I know who sang the version that made it a hit. Can I just give the name of the song and the songwriter or do we have to say who sang the hit version?

Feel free to use it however you like. I think it's hilarious myself! If you Google Images pancake bunny head - there are others like it.

Merry Christmas from the princess, the dogs, the cat and me. Meanwhile, my social comment of the week:

Outstanding!

I'm praying for you all too.

We got hit here too. My delightful Japanese Maple tree used to shade almost all of this section of our yard. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the house any. Some guys came by yesterday offering to take care of it for me for $250. Fortunately, I have friends with chainsaws. My car is in the garage, ice free. My friend's car was in my driveway overnight the past couple nights.

You might be in a cult if: you thoughtlessly take the beautiful diamond studded cross earrings your Roman Catholic sister-in-law gives you for Christmas back to the jewelery store and trade them in on a pair of plain earrings after asking your sister-in-law in front of the whole famdamily if she would wear little electric chairs on her ears if Jesus Christ had come in the day of ol' Sparky... Not to mention if you can never say Jesus without adding Christ quickly - sure wouldn't want Jesus of Barrabas to get that glory, doncha know, hey!

This stuff is difficult even for those who train for years to deal with it. Please don't beat yourself up because you're not perfect. You've got enough going on in your heart to deal with. Each day you're learning new things. I'm sure you won't allow another nurse to talk that way right in his room. That nurse really should know better. It's a lot you're learning in a short time. Just please don't give up. Whether your dad is aware of what's going on around him or not, please don't give up. I worked with Terri Schiavo for 2-1/2 years and have heard all the arguments that her brain had deteriorated such that there was no way those facial expressions and such were actually her. Doesn't matter to me. She was a lady that needed tender loving care and that was my job to provide it. To me she was in there and she wasn't even related to me. This is YOUR DAD. You go ahead and love him the best way you know how, then like dooj said, take some time for you - you need to keep your strength and health. And if you take a couple days to yourself and don't come to see him, don't feel bad about that either. Just do the best you can. And remember to do nice things for yourself and for your mom. You've got my prayers.

I've downloaded the pdf file and will read it this week. I'm interested in discussing the book if others are reading it too.

Al, Bill & Hillary in Heaven ?? ? (Evidently.... this is a Fairy Tale) Al Gore and Bill and Hillary Clinton go to heaven, and God addresses Al first: ''Al, in what do you believe ?'' Al replies: "Well, I believe I won that election, but that it was your will that I did not serve. I've come to understand that, now.'' God thinks for a second and says, "Very good. Come and sit at my left.'' God then addresses Bill: "Bill, in what do you believe ?'' Bill Replies: "I believe in forgiveness. I've sinned, but I've never held a grudge against my fellow man... and I hope no grudges are held against me.'' God thinks for a second and says: "You are forgiven, my son. Come and sit at my right.'' Then God addresses Hillary: "Hillary, in what do you believe?'' She replies: "I believe you're in my chair."

Watered Garden said in Doctrinal this morning, "I think most people need less complicated theology and more simple faith."

WG said, "I think most people need less complicated theology and more simple faith." Amen, sister!!!

I started to, but then I got distracted and no offense to you, it was boring to me, so I was easily distracted. I may be missing something big here, but it just didn't keep my attention.

Mr. P - have you tried zweibach toast for your daughter's teething? My kids both seemed like that really gave them relief. They didn't cry while gnawing on the toast. It's messy, but they didn't cry while gnawing on the toast. I'm sure you've tried Oragel or some topical numb-er and/or baby Tylenol. How to make zweibach toast Cut wheat bread in slices not too thin. Place in a warm, not hot, oven, and allow it to remain until thoroughly dry and crisp. Place in a toaster or a wire broiler over a hot fire and toast a golden brown and allow it to remain in the oven until toasted. Keep in cool place until used. Zweibach is considered more wholesome than fresh bread. (From http://www.homemadecookies.ca/Recipe/zweibach.html)

My 11-year-old bought egg nog today too. I just don't think it's right to do all this Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving, myself. Sheesh! The Christmas season is long enough the way it used to be, when it began the day after Thanksgiving for the really dedicated ones. The week after Halloween I saw a couple houses in town here all set with Christmas lights all over their houses and yards. Just doesn't do it for me til after Thanksgiving, and really, not til after December 1st. I've never heard of gingerbread eggnog either. I probably wouldn't listen for another few weeks tho, so I'm no help. It's deer season, not Christmas season! :blink:

If the commercials I saw as a kid were any authority on the subject, that's sorta how the Reese's peanut butter cup was invented. Something about an accidental crashing of chocolate and peanut butter. I remember a line that went, "You got peanut butter in my chocolate!" and then the other guy says "You got chocolate in my peanut butter!" VOILA Reese's peanut butter cups were born. Thank you, GOD!

For me, the people of the way in the area I lived really did their best to live the Word and help one another. There was no abuse that I know of to this day in my hometown area. We heard occasional rumblings of unchristianlike activities, but they were few and far between. The twigs that I attended for my first 14 years with twi were really about biblical research, teaching and fellowship with likeminded believers. I loved it. We were involved in each other's lives every day. We took meals together as often as we could. We were like a big family. It was fabulous. It wasn't until I went wow (the way's former "missionary program") that 15th year that I saw anything other than what I believed was the love of God out of way people. If you read the My Story section of this site, you'll see more of why people were attracted to the way and then stayed so long. As Belle said, there are as many reasons why as there are people. I was 21 when I first started attending twig fellowship. It was the biblical research I was originally interested in. The "lovebombing" won me over to the fun of the social end of the deal after a couple years. I hope that helps answer your questions.

We get 2 papers every Tuesday tossed into our driveway. I've looked through them once or twice in the 3 years I've lived in this home. I don't care what's in there that I might be able to use. I don't like them in my driveway. When I travel they're one more detail to be sure to ask someone to take care of so it doesn't alert the wrong people that we're not home. I use timers on lights throughout my house to make it look like someone's inside. Why those people who dump that trash in my driveway want to interfere with my peace of mind like that really offends me. I'm going to find out who to talk to to get off their list. To me it's throwing trash in my driveway - I'd like to collect up about 6 months' worth and go dump it in THEIR driveway. As far as the ones who actually approach my front door and attach junk to it - I hate them worse. I have 2 small dogs and they go bonkers whenever someone comes to the door. I work at home. When these people come here, they disturb my work day. I can't hear what I'm listening to because of the dogs, then I have to calm them down. Fortunately, I have a security camera on my front door and when I see those pests attaching something to my doorknob, I go out there and ask them to remove it and not come back. I know how to find what I need. If you MUST advertise that kind of way, I'd sure prefer it in the mailbox.
