need a garage…

 - by Jo

Buster and I were talking the other day and he told me they are going to have to put up a garage out by the new house because he has to have somewhere to put all his tools and stuff.  They already know where they will put it and everything!!  I found some really cool steel buildings that would make a great garage!!  They have all kinds of different out-buildings, but they make garages, too!! I’ll have to show him what I found!!

moving, but when??

 - by Jo

Well, I guess it’s pretty much official that we are moving out to camp and going into full-time Christian service.  We just aren’t sure exactly when.  Not sure if it’s necessary to sell the house first or not, but when we move we will need to look at smaller tv stands, among other smaller things, lol. The house we are moving into is at least half the size of ours now , if not smaller!!  We are gonna need to do some major weeding out of unnecessary items!!

We are very excited, please keep us in our prayers!!

another weight loss post…

 - by Jo

After posting about weight loss pills the other day, I saw Wynona Judd on TV talking about feeling good about using and promoting a drug that is FDA approved.  I am leery about this as I was told that these companies have to PAY to be FDA approved….Am I the only one that thinks paying for FDA approval may be a conflict of interest, especially for consumers who believe that if it’s FDA approved, it must be OK????

I am still in a considerable amount of pain since having all four wisdom teeth yanked from my poor unsuspecting skull last Friday.  Two of them were impacted and one had to be removed in pieces…thus the massive swelling and bruising…

This is a picture taken from under my chin, upward, showing the bruise and swelling of my poor cheek on the right side of my face.  It was taken yesterday, a full 4 days AFTER my surgery.  Not sure if this is common to be this sore and swollen this long after, so I  am calling the Dr. today to make sure I am on the mend!!  It is getting smaller and less painful, though!! So I think I am OK, but was hoping for a quicker recovery!!  I am still eating soft foods and it takes forever to eat anything, but hey, maybe I’ll lose a few pounds??  lol

Drugs and weight loss….

 - by Jo

Reading about Fenphedra this morning.  Is it just me or is there a drug out there for EVERYTHING??  As I write this, I hear an ad on TV for weight loss drugs.  My question is, do people who take these to lose weight have to take them forever??  Can they take them til they lose enough, then quit??  Have these drugs been tested for long-term benefits and/or problems??  Not sure this is a leap I would take??

luggage…with a twist!

 - by Jo

OK, how many of you out there knew Swiss Army made luggage??  I knew they made like the coolest knives ( sorry, multi tools) around, but I had no idea you could get Swiss Army luggage.  I mean how cool is that??

I wonder if it has a corkscrew hidden in it somewhere, or a jackknife in the zipper??  Hey, you never know what kind of cool stuff they’re gonna put in there, ya know??  Something like this could come in handy!!!

Music Shmusic…

 - by Jo

A while back, I won an MP3 player in a giveaway, and I also won some i-tunes gift cards.  What i am wondering is if you can use these gift cards with MP3 players?  On the cards they say you can download music to ipods and computers, but it doesn’t say anything about MP3 players.  I have had some people try to help me with this but I haven’t figured it out yet!!

I am computer, ipod, MP3 player illiterate!!  Basically anything electronic is over my head!!  Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!  Be blessed!!
