Just Ramblings
Wow! I just realized I haven't updated since Thursday! Unreal!!
Truthfully, I'm in a bit of a funk. I threw my back out last Tuesday(not hard to do at my age)and it just makes life a little tougher to enjoy!
This was a week of whiners at work. We go through those stages when it seems everyone just complains....customers, co-workers, and even the UPS men! Ugh!
I guess I could contribute alot of it to the fact that we're studying a new book in my Celebrate Recovery class called "Boundries".
I'm really learning so much from this book. I've learned that it IS ok to say no sometimes, and I really don't have to be the peacemaker all of the time! I'm NOT responsible for the fight a co-worker had with his girlfriend over the weekend,and I don't have to tolerate his bad mood because of it!
We were told when we started this study to expect some flack from the people closest to us. People don't like it much when change happens, and they can't control it.
I'm telling you, there is FREEDOM in this book! If you haven't read it, I'd highly reccomend it. It makes a great small group discussion.
Speaking of....Chuck and I are joining a new small group on Wednesday evenings at church based on the movie "Fireproof" ! I'm sooooo excited about this one. I guess the best part is the fact that HE actually suggested we join!
Wow, my funk is lifting just blogging about this stuff! Guess it's another "Blessing" for me to count!

Hi/Lo Thursdays
This post is part of "Hi/Lo Thursday" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check out their blog to read everyone else's "Hi/Lo" posts and for a chance to win $100. todayI found this post on The Freemans Blog today.I thought it was such a great idea!
From now on, I'm going to participate in Hi/Lo Thursdays!
The Riggs are giving away $100.00. I AM NOT ! lol
I think this is such a great idea! We need to "Count Our Abundant Blessings" as well as humble ourselves, and ask others to pray for our "lows".
As for myself this week, I guess my greatest "high" would be that my brother Mike (who has kidney cancer)got a great report from the doctors this week. His counts are way up...he gained 8 pounds (I wish that was good for me, lol), and his spine tumor is responding well to radiation! Praise God!
My lowest low is the fact that Mike has not seen his daughter, Hillary, in 18 years :0(
She was 4 the last time we saw her. Mike and his wife divorced, she took Hillary to Florida and remarried. Hillary was then adopted by a wonderful man who took great care of her! Hillary was told,growing up, that Mike had been killed during Dessert Storm! I finally made contact with Hillary last year, after she turned 21. I explained that Mike had not been killed, and was anxious to meet her. Alot to handle for a young lady. Then I had to tell her that Mike was in stage 4 kidney cancer. OUCH
This past weekend, some family friends were in Jacksonville. They went by Hillary's work to meet her. They offered to pay for a round trip ticket for herself and a friend to come to Nashville and meet my brother. She declined!
She thinks it is easier to have never remembered Mike then to meet him and put a face with a name.....only to loose him so fast.
Please remember this situation in prayer. We covet a reunion with Hillary, and it is the one wish Mike has before God takes him home!

Crafty Weekend
We had Lyric this weekend. It's always so much fun to see what she's learned through the week, and what her new "favorite" things will be.
This week, it was Olivia! I started buying the "Olivia" book series for her when she was a newborn. Her full name is Olivia Lyric. I never dreamed they'd make it into a tv show that she'd love!
Anyway, somehow, I completely tore up my back last week, and am having a hard time walking, let alone chasing a 3 year old! So we had to be creative. I found an Olivia web page on Noggin. They had these really cute cutouts you could print. So we did. Then I came up with the idea of attaching them to Popsicle sticks. We spent hours cutting, pasting, and having Olivia puppet shows! What fun!!
It wasn't even hard getting her ready to go back home yesterday. She wanted to have puppet shows with mommy and daddy, too.
I love being Nana!

5 THINGS YOUR CELL PHONE CAN DO
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.
Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST ~ Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.
Try it out.
SECOND ~ Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end.
Your car will unlock.
Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object.
You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!'
THIRD ~ Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#.
Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.
This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time..
FOURTH ~ How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset.
Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code.
They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.
You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.
If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
And Finally.... FIFTH ~ Free Directory Service for Cells:
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to.
Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial(800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.
Program this into your cell phone now.
