Hat tip to Rachel for alerting me to the YouTube Channel "MormonMessages".

Need a little lift in your day?

You know you're truly sick when....

1. Your boss actually tells you to go home.
2. Orange juice, applesauce, spagetti-o's - they all taste the same... like nothing
3. No sense of smell
4. You spend 6 hours laying in bed alternating between freezing and burning up.
5. Every joint in your body emits pain..

Thus has been my last few days. Marilyn and Teddy have been good helpers, not asking for much besides their regular mealtimes, and content to snuggle up next to their sickly caretaker.

Read at the Virginia Historical Society

Ok... I keep having flashbacks for a newspaper snippet I read at the museum over the weekend. It was in the photography exhibit and taken from the Richmond paper's frontpage somewhere in the 1880s, I think (fuzzy on the dates... could be a little off).

Anyway... one colunm featured a sketch of a young woman on a "Missing Person" report. This woman hadn't been seen in a couple months and was from the western part of the state, but was believed to be in or near Richmond.

This is the part I can't get over. In the description, it said that she was 5'5" and weighed 107 lbs. Her figure was "medium with a large waist".

Um.... how can you weigh 107 and have a large waist?

Memo from Me to the Rest of the World

1. Cigarette butts count as litter. Please stop covering the streets and sidewalks with them.
2. Guys with long hair and skinny jeans are not attractive. It's tantmount to a crime against nature. The more I see these types, the more attracted to lumberjacks I become.
3. Bluetooth sets are great for driving and perhaps while directing large events for thousands of people. They are not so great in grocery stores. I'm growing increasingly tired of apologizing for missing what someone said to me in line, only to spy the tiny device behind their ear. (note, never, during this process have any of these people acknowledged my existense)
4. Kids (and toddlers in particular) are not adults. When you keep them up until after 10pm while meandering through the Target aisles for 90 minutes, you have no right to yell at them for being fussy. They need sleep and a bedtime (and responsible parents).
