Bio Freeze is very good stuff.  Comes in cream or roll on here.  Chiopractor first gave it to DH and we have kept some around ever since.  

Several years ago, a local Church would take regular folks to Brazil to serve in the bush and help build churches and other building.  The MD that headed it up told all people going to get the animal antibiotics from local farm stores for their own use and to leave with the folks in the villages they served.  They had makeshift medical clinics as well as putting up buildings.

Littlesister, I am feeling the same things you mentioned, plus a few more.  

Terro works great here for ants, inside and outside.  The small black ants that is.

We are only 15 miles from the MO line, and about middle of our state.  I have often wondered how far apart we are from y'all.  WE2ers are much more active and productive than we are.

Once upon a time long ago, we wanted to move to the area we now live in, Ozark Mtns, from the big city of Memphis area.  We finally decided to pray that God stop us if we should not move, because we never got a definitive answer.  He did not stop us, and blessed us with a very easy sale, and basically an easy move.  We are thankful.

I have always heard aspirin is good until it starts to smell like vinegar. Now using a bottle that has exp date of 6/13.  Still works fine, and is not crumbling.

Have any of you eaten wild strawberries?  We have a small crop each year that just keep coming back.  They are larger this year and growing more plants.  The flowers are yellow.

Bless you.  I heard a song on radio that the man was singing to his wife.  He was saying, if I get to heaven before you, when you come too, don't look for me at the pearly gates, don't look for me on the streets of gold, because I will be at the feet of Jesus.

I may not remember the words exactly, but I sat in the car and cried it was such a sweet song.

Dee, I have been wanting to grow a few things in pots, since DH is not wanting to grow ANYTHING and I can maybe sneak a few pots in.  I will visit our farmer's market on the town square, but some folks truck in veggies from outside our state.  Not what I want to buy.

Welcome back, Mother. I too mostly just stop in to see how everyone is doing.  DH is now 80 and I am 74.  Sometimes I wonder why I stored all I did, and now I am giving some of the older foodstuff away.  Seems like our little city is having so many homeless come in, or people here are having hard times.  

At least, we can still do most things we want to do, but we have slowed down, and are trying to clear out useless stuff so the "kids" won't have that burden.  DH is a keeper of useless stuff, but is beginning to let go.  

I have recently been re-convienced that things are about to really get bad, and I pray for God's hand to return to us, if we repent.

Canned some boneless pork chops for son=in-law last night.  We have just about done all the canning we need to.  Makes DH nervous.

You may be really surprised by what you see.  Having studied art several years, and done some drawing and painting, I know my colors, usually.  When I came in after my cataract surgery, I walked in the bedroom and said "you mean, I had this room painted that color? " Hubby laughed.  Seems the cataracts tend to yellow vision in most folks.  Well, he is not willing to repaint, but I did change the curtains. My kitchen cabinets really are white, and not a yellowish color.  Funny that the doc didn't mention it until I told him I saw colors differently now.

Our cheapest stations have been around $2.09 for a while, this week-up to $2.19.  Most everything is up.

Life gets pretty rough sometimes, hang on Dee.

I may be ahead of all of you, turned 72 in March.  I still can do anything I want, except I don't want as much, as often.  Some things are just not important, or I know my limitations. 

May the Lord answer your prayers, He is faithful.

Arkansas is doing about the same type thing this weekend.  Every little savings helps.

Missouri is doing it also, not sure about the dates.

In our area there are notary publics all over.  In law offices, accounting firms, banks, insurance offices, title companies.  None of these charge folks that I know of, except a few people have signs in their yard, and I guess they charge under $5.  The law office and the CPA office I worked for would do it for free for all clients or people who just walked in.  No charge-good will, you know.  Here the front desk person is usually a notary, if not they call up a secretary and 3 minutes later-you are notarized and out of there.  Good luck.

Dee, I remember you and have missed you.  If I remember, you had such good information to share.

Canned French fries?

Family experience only here from me, but my sister gets allergic reactions to some things. Found out "itching palms" is an allergy. Penicillin and all related drugs for her.. Touching certain plants causes it in some folks.

DB has bad dizzy spells where he can do nothing almost. Tried floor exercise, ears treated, etc. Only one doc gave him valium and it works perfectly. Very difficult to get docs to give that. I also used it once for twice for that, and it works. Docs are so afraid of prescribing somethings now days, especially if you are over 60.

6, unless this is a trick question

Thank you.

Ours is just the opposite. In our town of 12,000 there was a lawsuit a couple of years back because a manger scene was on the Court House lawn along with other decorations. Courts said no more manger scene. Therefore, the whole (mostly) business community took it upon themselves to decorate all around the Square with Christmas decorations, many Christian. Little contest. The entire town took it up, now there a decorations everywhere. People are openly greeting each other and smiling. I am thankful.
