National day of prayer
Hi everyone! Please take a moment or two to bless the people in your life that you love. Please bless our country, while we still have a lot of issues, we are still so lucky to say that we haven't experienced war the way other countries have. We have never seen our own brothers and sisters taken into captivity and torturously forced into becoming child soldiers. Most of the prostitues in our country are such by choice. Men aren't allowed to beat or rape their wives in this country.I can't imagine how many starving people could be fed by the amount of food we waste in a day. Yes, I too have my qualms about our government and the garbage going on even in our local politics, but overall i am happy to live in this country and I invite you all to take a few moments to consider the things we take for granted, the people we take for granted in our lives.
For those of you who already know the power of prayer, please pray for the continued ability to pray in our country. if you haven't heard about the special interest group trying to stop this tradition, feel free to check out this site:
If I seem like a crusader or whatever, it's because I've come to know and SEEN Gods hand working in my life. I too was a skeptic once, mocking the "jesus freaks" and slandering Gods good name. But today I stand here so thankful for forgiveness and mercy and the only thing I can do counter the foolishness i feel is to help raise awareness of some of the things that are going on now. It's insane- some state that put out a memo to arrest anyone that was carrying a copy of the U.S constitution because it was "political paraphernalia" (sp?) whatever, i don't have time for all that- these things are really happening, and i find the crdible documentation I'll post it. and most people would lose their lunch if they knew. and more. Some people wont even believe it. It sucks, if they can take away our "freedoms" then what kind of "free" country is this?
If you don't pray, then be thankful you have that freedom. it's your choice, but people who want to pray should be allowed to anywhere they feel like if they're not hurting anyone else or causing disruption.

I don't know that anyone other than the people on the fringes would actually want to silence expressions of faith.

who really knows?
Im not saying that I follow this guy to a "T" or that I believe everything thats being said out there right now- because there's just a ton of B.S and major contradictions. Including the fact that while the president sat down and nodded his head as the british prime minister suggested talking about the one world bank- he completely denied it to an american journalist in a later address to the nation. I know that politicians and liars and ass kissers for the most part, and i guess i'm just seeking out reliable resources because somewhere out there lies the truth of whats really going. How many people are aware of the islamic banking practices that are being adopted and spreading through non muslim countries. How many news stations are talking about these things? yeah it all sounds fine and dandy, for the time being, but there's a bigger picture here and we're likely to be fooled if we don't pay attention. we may very well be on the verge of a new civil war, or it may just be a whole bunch of people talking shit as usual. Either way it goes something is brewing. And news stations everyhwere are getting a goog laugh because they found a reason to legally use the phrase "tea-bagging" on television. I can't help but laugh myself.

It's been my experience that half of the truth lies between what two sides say, and the other half of it lies outside what either are saying. You will know when you taste Real Truth because is usually has a very ironic flavor to it.

not a fashion statement..LOL
Category: headlice
Hey guys! Thanks for comments on my last entry! You probably wouldn 't have noticed me at the new years party because i had to shave my head about 2 months ago. I had a slumber party with my friends kids and they had lice, only i didn't find out until 3 weeks later- after i realized that my whole house was infested, including my babies.(but not my man cuz he shaves his head) she never bothered to mention it to me. After a cut and 3 treatments later, bombing my house and everything they came back. knowing nothing about these little buggers, i almost had a nervous breakdown.the pediatrician prescribed a shampoo for my 2 year old and it was taking her scalp with it. Exterminators said they wouldn't touch it, you have to treat the source. so I shaved my head. I shed a tear or two but reasoned the move was for the greater good. i learned a few things in this process that might be valuable to someone else in this gross feeling situation

Lice go through 3 or 4 different phases, and in the 1st 2 they are so tiny you can't see them unless you know what your looking for, but if your heaqd itches rediculously its safe to assume you have them and deal

A hairstylist told my mother in law that lice have become immune to many of the over the counter lice shampoos. and for kids, i noticed even the doctor prescribed ones are way too harsh for little ones. There's a brand called Fairy Tales, or something like that, that makes shampoo, etc using rosemary and lavender oils, which have been natural repellents. THEY WORK WONDERS!

other natural remedies include dousing head with heavy oils or mayo and wrappin your head in plastic wrapovernight

It is a myth that lice like dirty heads. They can't really jump 6-8 feet. anThey don't live for 4-6 weeks. Really, they don't live more than 24-48 hours outside of a human host, and they don't live and breed on animals. ( like fleas bit ppl and then go away- that how they are with pets) Before you go bombing your house like i did - just wash all bedding, clothing , anything that might be contaminated in HOT water. Clean all non carpet floors with bleach and HOT water. USE GLOVES!! Put all stuffed animals, blankets etc in garbage bags and get them away from population. Treat all household members at the same time. then, JUST LEAVE YOUR HOUSE FOR 24-48 hours.


take care all!!!

Just for the record, I thought your hair looked really spiffy and for a moment there I was wishing my hair had the beautiful texture that your's had. Mine has always felt like a used broomstick.

You look awesome with that short hair. :)

Again, apologies for running away on NYE. Maybe I can catch up the next time we meet!

And thanks for the information!
