***************IS IT THE THYROID?****************
If you have the following symptoms, maybe you have hypothyroidism, even if your doctor has done tests and says you don't; you might just have sub-clinical Hypothyroidism - a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone.
maybe what they used to call "a touch of it". Some say a full half of the people who have it are not diagnosed with it. Oh! What to do- what to do?

IS THIS YOU?
(1)
Fatigued in the morning
Poor or cracked nails
Cold all the time
Dry skin
Coarse hair/hair loss
Depression
Constipation
Muscle/joint pains
Trouble losing weight
Chronic infections
Acne
Trouble with memory
High cholesterol
Severe PMS
Irregular periods
Low sex drive
Infertility
Excessive menopause symptoms
Ovarian cysts
Endometriosis
Gum disease
Eczema
Poor stamina


The main purpose of the Thyroid is to 'run the metabolism', so you can see how important it is for it to be efficient. Two of the main causes are a prior inflammation or autoimmune thyroiditis. basically treatment is a supplementation of the thyroid hormone or just getting the body well enough to maintain its own production. Pretty much they'll want you to continue taking these drugs indefinitely, so it doesn't recur.

There is a third form of thyroiditis called silent thyroiditis, doctors like to prescribe several drugs to 'regain' health, including beta blockers, surgery or Radioactive Iodine, just imagine you can read in bed without a bedside light, you can light your own way while you explore caves or you can hire out to stand on cliffs to direct sea traffic.

I think I'd rather try getting healthy with natural methods first....some supplements for it include
*Iodine *Selenium *Zinc *Vitamin D *Vitamin E *Antioxidants
*Essential Fats *Amino Acids


I'm taking Thyromine, it has Adrenal Powder from Bovine, ginger, Guglipid, Nori, Piper Longu, Thyroid Powder From Bovine, and L-Tyrosine. You can check out the website to see what each ingredient does. It starts at $39.95 for a month's supply.
I'm also still working to get rid of the diabetes so I'm taking:
CellPower™ because for one thing it does have lots of digestive enzymes in it, also it helps to balance the pH levels and is antibiotic, anti-viral-and anti-fungal AND IT PACKS THE CELLS WITH LIFE-GIVING OXYGEN, AND ENERGY. And:SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.
~coconut oil


And I am substantially benefiting from each and every method I recommend.

EXPLANATION OF GOD

"We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young - discovering happiness in your everyday life; laughing and finding humor each day; giving of yourself to others - so that way goodness may magically comes back to us; and DREAMING - for when you lose your dreams, you die."
"We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability.
The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

Funny Fluke
My dentistry patients are called and reminded the day before their scheduled appointments. During an office visit, one man was in an especially good humor and explained why. "My staff kids me about the high opinion I have of myself," he said. "Yesterday your receptionist left a message that had them in stitches."
He related the memo his secretary had handed him: "Your crown is ready."
~~~
Zip It!
My mother taught for 11 years at a day-care center. One winter afternoon she was trying to show a young boy how to zip up his coat. "The secret," Mom said, "is to get this piece of the zipper to fit in the other side before you try to zip it up."
After struggling with the zipper for several minutes, the boy sighed and said, "Why does it have to be a secret?"

...With Some Wit on the Side
Our manager at the restaurant where I worked was a much beloved, jovial man. But there was one subject you didn't dare discuss in front of him -- his height. Or, should I say, his lack of it. One day, he stormed through the door and announced angrily, "Someone just picked my pocket!" Most of my fellow waitresses and I were speechless, except for the one who blurted out, "How could anyone stoop so low?"
~~~
All Aboard!
In the 22-story office building where I worked, rush hours meant crowds of people waiting a long time for the three passenger elevators. One evening my boss was one of the throng relegated to the freight elevator.
When a fellow rider complained about having to take this mode of transportation, my boss replied philosophically, "Better freight than never!"
~~~
Comic Calling
My younger brother, I explained to a friend, had quite a temper as a boy. Our parents had tried extra love, attention and patience on him, with little success. Then, in the middle of one of his tantrums, they simply handed him a shovel, pointed to the backyard and instructed him to go out and dig and not come back until he had control of his anger.
"Apparently," I said, "the therapy worked, because he's turned out very nicely."
"What does he do for a living?" my friend asked.
"He builds in-ground swimming pools."
~~~
Sew in Stitches
Shortly after graduating from veterinary school, I rode with my mother in the Michigan Trail Riders' annual trek across state. Late one afternoon, I was summoned to look at a horse that had reared up and flipped over in his trailer. Fortunately the horse was not seriously injured, but some lacerations needed stitching.
As I worked, I heard my mother chatting with the perturbed owner. "Don't worry, sir," she said. "My daughter's a great vet. She'll fix your horse up just fine."
"That's good to hear," said the man. "How long has she been a vet?"
"A week," replied my mother, proudly. Then hastily she added, "But she's been embroidering since she was eight years old."

Down Under Droll
While I was working at a delicatessen in Sydney, Australia, a woman overheard my accent and asked if I was American. "Lovely!" she exclaimed when I told her that I was. "I've been looking for one of your lot. My son is living in the States with his American wife, and she sent me a recipe that calls for half-and-half. Could you tell me, luv, half of wot and half of wot?"

BILL GATES BUYS A HOUSE

Bill: "There are a few issues we need to discuss."

Contractor: "Ah, you have our basic support option. Calls are free for the first 90 days and $75 a call thereafter. Okay?"

Bill: "Uh, yeah... the first issue is the living room. We think its a little smaller than we anticipated."

Contractor: "Yeah. Some compromises were made to have it out by the release date."

Bill: "We won't be able to fit all our furniture in there."

Contractor: "Well, you have two options. You can purchase a new, larger living room; or you can use a Stacker."

Bill: "Stacker?"

Contractor: "Yeah, it allows you to fit twice as much furniture into the room. By stacking it, of course, you put the entertainment center on the couch... the chairs on the table... etc. You leave an empty spot, so when you want to use some furniture you can unstack what you need and then put it back when you're done."

Bill: "Uh... I dunno... issue two. The second issue is the light fixtures. The bulbs we brought with us from our old home won't fit. The threads run the wrong way."

Contractor: "Oh! That's easy. Those bulbs aren't plug and play. You'll have to upgrade to the new bulbs."

Bill: "And the electrical outlets? The holes are round, not rectangular. How do I fix that?"

Contractor: "Just uninstall and reinstall the electrical system."

Bill: "You're kidding!?"

Contractor: "Nope. Its the only way."

Bill: " Well... I have one last problem. Sometimes, when I have guests over, someone will flush the toilet and it won't stop. The water pressure drops so low that the showers don't work."
Contractor: "That's a resource leakage problem. One fixture is failing to terminate and is hogging the resources preventing access from other fixtures."
Bill: "And how do I fix that?"
Contractor: "Well, after each flush, you all need to exit the house, turn off the water at the street, turn it back on, reenter the house and then you can get back to work."
Bill: "That's the last straw. What kind of product are you selling me?"
Contractor: "Hey, nobody's making you buy it."
Bill: "And when will this be fixed?"
Contractor: "Oh, in your next house -- which will be ready to release sometime near the end of next year. It was due out this year, but we've had some delays..."

Country Preacher
An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.
Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment.
He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:
a Bible,
a silver dollar,
a bottle of whisky
and a Playboy magazine
'I'll just hide behind the door,' the old preacher said to himself, 'when he comes home from school this afternoon,
I'll see which object he picks up.
If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard,and, Lord, what a shame that would be, and worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin' bum.'
The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room.
The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table.
With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.
Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm.
He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket.
He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's Centerfold.
'Lord have mercy,' the old preacher disgustedly whispered, 'He's gonna run for Congress.''

May you be blessed with abundant energy, stamina and ambition, not just the ability to do things but the "want to" too.

MORE FIBER-MORE POWER

Sign-up for the weekly newsletter digest that is packed with the latest news in healthy living, you need this resource interactive
write to me at webriter@verizon.net or mark_my_bailey@yahoo.com.
*****************MORE FIBER-MORE POWER***************
The Mayo clinic says that dietary fiber is an essential part of a healthy diet. Fiber found in grains, legume, fruits and vegetables plays a role in relieving constipation as we all know; but it is also vital to lower blood sugar for Diabetics, aid in weight loss, it also lowers your chances of contracting diabetes or heart disease. If you already suffer from these diseases then eat more fiber....Unlike the fats,carbohydrates,and proteins which the body breaks down and absorbs, fiber cannot be digested so it is expelled, but as it is being expelled it will carry lots of other fecal matter with it, It also helps to clean the walls of the intestines allowing them to be relieved of the rotting fecal matter that causes, cancers, diverticuli, ulcers and other colon ills, also quick expelling of waste helps the body to digest faster so that it is less loggy, Digestion really slows down the body. If you think of the operations of the body like your computers memory you can see that the heavy-duty job of digestion; Esophagus, stomach, 26 feet of small intestine, and 3-5 feet of large intestine or colon, and not to mention the liver, kidneys, blood vessels, and pancreas all working to aid in this process and you see that our systems memory is fully engaged. Fiber can shove everything through so much faster so our lives aren't always logged down with the laborious, and exhaustion processes of digestion, not to mention the poisons released as digestion is going more slowly and rotting before it's eventual evacuation from the colon. Fiber is divided into two kinds, Soluble and insoluble.
~The soluble is the kind that dissolves in water to form a gel-like mass it is found in:oats, peas, beans, apples, citrus fruits, carrots, barley and psyllium, to help in lowering Cholesterol and blood glucose.
~The insoluble as found in: Whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts and many vegetables sources help the body push waste matter through the intestines.

I have a recipe for you, I call it bean soup.

1 1/2 C. Pinto beans soaked for a few hours, rinsed and drained a couple of times, then gently boiled for an hour or so until soft.

Then in another pan I sauté tiny bits of chicken breast[1 cup] and [1] onion chopped, I add sea salt, pepper, celery seeds and Katy's essence spices to taste [actually a bit strong because it will dilute in the beans. Also I add 3 Tbs of chia seeds and any other veggies I have on hand; green peppers, broccoli, bok choy chopped small so all the bits are the size of the beans. Then I boil it a bit longer to blend the flavors, Serve and eat, this makes maybe three bowls or more! of extremely yummy soup.

~~~Katy's Spicy essence~~~
I've sent this out to friends all over the US because when I make it every year I make a lot!

When I say a part I use a bottle of spice, it can be any size as long as all 'parts' are about the same size. Experiment, use your favorites, don't stick with the strict formula, I don't.

2 1/2 parts of paprika [I love paprika anyway]
2 parts salt[I use sea salt](you can use more sea salt,not harmful like table salt)
2 parts garlic powder- use the kind that says it's just garlic, no preservatives.
1 part black pepper
1 part onion powder
1 part cayenne powder
1 part Italian herbs or basil, oregano, parsley from your garden
1 part crushed red pepper
2 parts chili powder
put it all in your food processor to grind up the Italian herbs and crushed red pepper so it's Incorporated well into the other spices which are powders.

I usually make a double batch to last a year, we snarf this stuff, I put it in re-marked spice bottles that the ingredients came from, I then save then as I empty them so I'll always have bottles to keep it in. Most of the people I know love it too. I have to admit it's a revised version of the Emmeril Legasse's essence which includes MSG. I don't use any MSG.

I try to eat lots of raw veggies, including a spinach salad often, drink a green veggie juice cocktail twice every day, I eat seeds, and nuts and beans; and I'm taking CellPower™ because for one thing it does have lots of digestive enzymes in it, also it helps to balance the pH levels and is antibiotic, anti-viral-and anti-fungal AND IT PACKS THE CELLS WITH LIFE-GIVING OXYGEN, AND ENERGY. And:SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.

FINAL STAGES OF MY JOURNEY?

I feel I've gone as far as I can towards reversing my diabetes and I must address some other factors; like the lifelong case of Candidiasis I've had. Since I've investigated what candidiasis can do in the body and since my doctors refuse to aknowledge that disease has it's origins in a compromised body, I've taken it on myself to bring about my own healing. Quackery you say? Well, my response is that most of what we know as modern medicine is quackery, stabs in the dark. I've had severe allergic responses to all the pharma-junk I've been prescribed. I cannot take their medicines, yet they offer nothing else for my problems.

My problems began when the snake-oil antibiotics were invented and I was way overdosed. Then the food industry in my youth began to make 'convenience' foods, and told us all that the nutritional content of the foods they sold were high, just as high as if they weren't cooked to death. TV dinners, boxed Macaroni and Cheese, Coca Cola, finely milled white flour, white sugar, and the stage was set. Already the flora in my colon was out of balance and a childhood of poor dietary choices and
habits of eating formed out of them. All it took was the packet [yes, only one] of birth control pills the doctor handed me while telling me, "These are the 'safe' ones."

A month later my husband was driving me to the city hospital at about 70 miles per hour because I'd lost half of my bodily control from a massive stroke, an aneurysm in my brain. I was 20 years old. I tried still working with doctors to regain the parts I'd lost, but their only answer was more drugs, I couldn't communicate my problems to them because they, en masse refused to listen. Finally they put me on a mild psycho-tropic that even at half doses caused me to fall asleep in public! The doctor insisted I needed to start taking the full dosage, and then I balked, I quit taking any drugs, by then ASA made me so sick from taking it I could no longer take that either. Then I took one Motrin one evening and my entire face swelled up [yes, this is not an exaggeration] from my nose on down so that I thought I'd get stretch marks. The paramedics came out and gave me an epinephrine shot and a benadryl shot, neither of which took the swelling down, and by this time it was difficult to breathe. I found out I'm also allergic to benedryl,[haha] the allergy medicine.

I've found I can take one Tylenol very rarely for pain and it really helps me then, but I am not so sensitized by being constantly medicated and my own pain defence system kicks in and I don't have nearly the pain others have, from hearing them I can only deduce this of course. But, and here's a great example when I've had toothaches, they really weren't all that bad.

I've known of people lying in bed moaning and I barely let it influence my day, After I had a tooth extracted I had nearly no pain either, I never even filled the pain prescription. I'm not bragging, I'm merely giving anecdotal evidence of what the taking of medicine can cause, more sensitivity, more pain.

At any rate, I'm at a stage where I either stay sick from this candidiasis or I take control. See: Candidiasis Diabetes, and Alphabet diseases

I ordered
, it came and I'm eliminating all sugars, grains, yeasts, vinegars and mushrooms from my diet that is already all whole foods and pure water. This diet restriction is very important for candidiasis control.

Also I'm taking CellPower™ another fungus killer,
And FLAX SEED OIL for my colon, but of course
~Glutathione-the master antioxidant is a great helper to counteract many diabetic complications.
~4 essential minerals for diabetics
~SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
~coconut oil a great fungus killer too

Which incidentally is another fungi-cide and energy booster.


It's very important to keep all yeasts and grains out of the diet while getting rid of the candida imbalance. Candida is a part of our intestinal flora, but the antibiotics/ bad diet etc can cause this normal flora go nuts and try to take over your body, to see the symptoms: IBS, HEMORRHOIDS, CANDIDIASIS-BOWEL TROUBLES.

So, from now on I'll be reporting on the candidiasis symptoms and how my recovery from that is affecting the last of my diabetes. I've already gotten rid of most of my pain. YAY!

drew his eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked up as if lost in
the mystery of the strange tap - tap - tapping deep in his chest. Then his
face broke out in a wondrous grin and he asked, "Is that Jesus knocking?"

A hunter took his buddy bird hunting to show how his dog could pin point birds and relay the messages to them.

The dog went into the brush, came back whining. What's he whining, the buddy ask. He's trying to tell us the few birds that are in there are not worth the effort.

Into the brush and back again, the dog came sniffing and grunting. He's trying to tell us we are getting hot on the trail of a flock of birds worth out while.

The next time the dog came out from the brush, he was grabbing sticks and growling, and shaking the fire out of them, and grunting and just throwing an awful excited fit.

What's the dog doing acting in a crazy manner like that, the buddy ask?

He's trying to tell us there are more birds in there than you can shake a stick at!

Just for today, if that's all you can do, Seek Peace and persue it, find someone and be a blessing. I wish you all great Joy and peace, and blessings, today and forever.

IBS,HEMORRHOIDS, CANDIDIASIS; THE BOWEL CONNECTION

"There's Fungus among us" is a frequent lament with Diabetes type2 people. Toe nail fungus, Athletes foot, Thrush and overloads of Candida Albicans in the bowel. For me the Candida locks up my colon and makes constipation a constant fact of life.
Just do a search for diabetes-candidiasis or diabetes-IBS and you'll see so many sites deal with the connection it is overwhelming, toss in Fibromyalgia and you'll see that all of this is interrelated.

I tried taking
for the overgrowth and it really helps until it goes nuts again, I've also had rounds of taking probiotics, and they reallly help too.

Of course When the IBS kicks in I have trouble with constipation, and since I've had problematic hemorrhoids for forever I get flare-ups with them too. However, when I took Venapro. I never again had a flare up, and it's been a few years since I took it.

We've all been there. Abdominal cramps, bloating, gas, diarrhea (possibly painful), or constipation.
But most of us haven't had to deal with these severe, painful symptoms day after day, or have them flare up unexpectedly every few months. Those who do may have irritable bowel syndrome.
Although IBS is one of the most common complaints reported to physicians, especially by women, it is not a disease or an infection. And it is not caused by diabetes. It is, rather, a disorder in which the bowel (large intestine) does not work the way it should.
Hormonal changes can also cause IBS, which is why women with this difficulty may suffer increased symptoms during menstruation.
There is some controversy as to whether stress actually causes IBS, but it can definitely bring on a flare-up in those who already have the problem.
Yoder also advises monitoring your blood glucose (sugar) frequently while you're doing your detective work. That will help you pinpoint the way new foods affect your blood glucose, especially during flare-ups.
"Talk with your doctor or dietitian about eating smaller meals, then filling out your food plan with snacks," Yoder adds. "This will also help keep your diabetes in control while helping prevent IBS flare-ups; smaller meals will produce less stimulation along the gastrointestinal tract."


I'm not so sure about that, In my experience smaller meals make my bowel more sluggish less inclined to keep on moving along. I really feel more raw foods help. I think the enzyme/fiber connection really rocks.

As for thrush, toe nail fungus and candidiasis in the gut I swear by CellPower™
I use a few drops 1:3 of cellpower on my toothbrush for thrush, a few drops full strength under my toenails for nail fungus and take it three times per day to control the candidiasis in my colon. And it contains enzymes!!!

~In the First Stage of Candida, the mucous membrane areas of the body may be infected. Each day more people seem to be allergic to everything in their environment. Repeated bouts of bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, and strep or staph infections may be typical. Mononucleosis and pneumonia may also be noted. It is easy to perceive that each of these successive illnesses requires more and more antibiotics, which may open the door for further Candida overgrowth. Talk about a vicious circle!
~The Second Stage of Candida Symptoms may involve more generalized reactions such as PAIN, HEADACHES (including Migraine), EXTREME FATIGUE, PSORIASIS, INFECTIONS OF THE NAILS, MUSCLE ACHES, JOINT PAINS, AND ARTHRITIS. Naturally, drug after drug is usually taken in hopes of alleviating these miserable conditions. In most cases, the Candida SYMPTOMS alone are being treated--while the CAUSE (Candida overgrowth) may be literally being PROMOTED at the same time!
~The Third Stage of Candida Symptoms may involve MENTAL and BEHAVIORAL RESPONSES: Inability to concentrate, not being able to read or follow a television program or carry on a hobby, serious forgetfulness, memory loss, mental confusion, not being able to think of the words to say something, switching around of words and letters when trying to speak and/or write something, loss of previous skills (such as how-to-type or how-to-play-the-piano, etc.) These frightening problems may often lead to "HOPELESS CRYING" SPELLS, SEVERE DEPRESSION, SLEEP DISORDERS (may include insomnia, confusion dreams, nightmares, apnea, and not feeling rested or restored after sleep), IRRATIONAL THOUGHTS, UNUSUAL FEARS, PHOBIAS, PANIC/ANXIETY ATTACKS, MUSCLE TWITCHING, IRRITABILITY, VIOLENCE, AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR, and even EPILEPTIC SEIZURES and THOUGHTS OF DEATH OR SUICIDE. Living with these Candida Symptoms is not a great way to live life. Sometimes people with these symptoms are labeled "Mentally ill", thought to be suffering from manic-depressive Psychosis or Schizophrenia. These desperately sick patients are sometimes turned over to the care of a psychiatrist or hospitalized in a mental institution. They may be given antidepressants, tranquilizers, lithium, etc. to lighten the mental symptoms. . But the CAUSE may be overlooked and the patient is not CURED on a long-term basis.


Now,THAT explains a lot, it explains why I was so crazy when I was living in Eastern Washington, and why I feel so much better these days. PSSSsssssssssst CellPower™ really works against Candida.

It also explains stuff from lately too, I've been eating sugary things because it hasn't affected my blood sugar, BUT and this is a very big BUT; candidiasis feeds off of sugar, it shares with cancer on that, The fungus grows~ proliferates~ and expands it's hold, with sugar, so now that I'm feeling weepy, depressed; the insomnia, the fatigue,the pain, all are symptoms of candidiasis, second and third stage. This is exactly why I write this so I'll see in black and white exactly what I'm doing wrong and why I'm sick.

also I'm using:
FLAX SEED OIL for my colon, but of course FLAX SEED OIL is also a great source of omega-3 essential fatty acids.
And one each of the four essential minerals each day:
~SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC every day.

-----THE GARDEN GNOME


~~~jokes and stuff~~~
I use to have a Comfort Zone
Where I knew I couldn't fail
The same four walls of busy work
Were really more like jail.

I longed so much to do the things
I'd never done before,
But I stayed inside my Comfort Zone
And paced the same old floor

I claimed to be so busy
With the things inside my zone,
But deep inside I longed for
Something special of my own.

I couldn't let my life go by,
Just watching others win.
I held my breath and stepped outside
And let the change begin.

I took a step and with new strength
I'd never felt before,
I kissed my Comfort Zone 'goodbye'
And closed and locked the door.

If you are in a Comfort Zone,
Afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were
At one time filled with doubt.

A step or two and words of praise,
Can make your dreams come true.
Greet your future with a smile,
Success is there for you!

My friend Emma and I watched a brand-new mobile home being towed past us as we drove down Interstate 40 near Nashville. "There goes our house," I joked.

A caravan of seven identical trucks went rolling by, one after the other. As the last house disappeared from sight, Emma declared, "And there goes the neighborhood."

~~~

My wife asked me to help one of our neighbors, a young mother whose sailor husband was at sea. Her car had to have something called a freeze plug replaced -- a job that took two days. Then I discovered the battery was dead and the starter was shot, so I fixed those too. Days later I proudly handed the woman her keys saying, "Now your car is good for many more miles."

"Thanks," she said. "All I care is it runs long enough to make it to the dealer. I'm trading it in tomorrow."

After living in the United States for 17 years, my Chinese friend Mabel applied for citizenship. She passed her exam with flying colors. Although she had officially joined a new country, she discovered she hadn't really left her old one behind.

"They gave me an American flag as a welcome gift," she told me. "The tag on it said 'Made in China.' "

~~~

My adult son was having serious trouble breathing, so I called for an ambulance. I was surprised to find him smiling when I got to the hospital. "What's so funny?" I asked.

"I'm just glad to be here," he explained. "When I looked up at the two EMTs hovering over me, I caught a glimpse of their name tags. One guy's read 'Priest' and the other said 'Buzzard.' "
~~~

Days after I moved into a new condo, my neighbor came over to welcome me. At the end of her visit, she said, "By the way, my husband said he'd give you $20 for your wind chimes."

"He can get them cheaper in a store," I pointed out.

"I know, but he wants yours," she said. "They've been keeping him up at night."

And one more a utube funny

I pray for all of you that your day is blessed and your path is straight.
