BFS #21 - Barrel o’ Laughs!

Posted by: adminin Blogger Friend School

I was pondering some ideas that I had last week for some assignments. I had a few already but decided to switch them out for something that would be more fun and on the lighter side. I sat and wrote out 6 weeks worth of assignments and made the graphics for them too. Now, I have things more organized and I can actually DO the assignments with you all and not have to get rushed to put the assignment up and then try to do my assignment too.

I was wondering tonight (Wed. March 26th) when the last time was that I laughed so hard my cheeks ached and my stomach hurt. This week I thought it would be fun to share one or two short experiences with everyone about one of those times in your lives. Tell a story or two about the last BIG laugh you had with your hubby or whole family. The don’t mean a little ha ha laugh…I’m talking about cheek hurtin’, gut wrenchin’,snortin’ out loud, almost wet my pants laughing moments!!! This can be a recent story or one from your childhood. We all want to laugh with you and enjoy these funny moments! Have fun and you can add pictures if you have any. Don’t forget: Add your favorite verse for this assignment.

Here’s mine:

A while back when my niece Breanna was living with us this happened so unexpectedly. She always hated going to bed and I mean with the worst feelings anyone could ever imagine. We always gave her ample warning that she had so and so minutes til it was time for her to go to bed…hoping to ease her tantrums, I guess. One night we (me, my hubby, and our daughter) had just reached out limit with her screaming and throwing things, including herself and kicking my husband when it was time for bed. Yes, she was raised this way, but not by us! It was early fall and my daughter and I had gone outside to sit on the swing and get away from all her crying and screaming. I got this wild idea to knock on the window to her room and disguise my voice just to grab her attention and hopefully get her to quiet down. So I reached up to the window and knocked on it, pretty loudly, and said in a deep gruff sounding voice, “You can’t even fake a good cry!!!!” I didn’t know if she heard me or not and figured she hadn’t because she was still crying, even louder now. Well, I went in the house and my husband was laughing so hard and I asked what was so funny. He could barely talk for laughing so hard, and Breanna came flying out of her room and said she wasn’t going back in the room. My husband still laughing and Breanna’s getting angrier now, she told me that her doll was evil!!! She said, she was holding it in bed with her and it started talking evil to her. What I also didn’t know was when I was outside knocking on the window my husband had just opened her door at the exact moment that I told her she couldn’t fake a decent cry. She thought it was doll talking to her and she told me she never wanted to see her again! We still laugh over that incident, gut laughter and cheeks hurting too. We’ve thought we’d send her the doll for a Christmas present or her birthday. My daughter wants to put one of those voice recorders in it and make an evil sounding laugh. I wouldn’t dream of letting her do it though. Now it’s your turn!

Psalms 38:12-13 - The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.

P.S. My daughter is in her room giggling over me telling this story…we won’t get to sleep anytime soon…

In the Nook…

This is pretty interesting, it was an email from a friend of mine and NO this isn’t anything official it’s just interesting to read:

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye The pupil,
iris and radiating lines look just like the human
eye…
and YES science now shows that carrots greatly enhance
blood flow to and the function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The! Heart is
red and has four chambers.
All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure
heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the
heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of
the research today shows that grapes are also profound
heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right
hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums.
Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like
the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop
over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney
function and yes, they look exactly like the human
kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like
bones. These foods specifically target bone strength.
Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium.
If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet the body
pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods
replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and
function of the womb and cervix of the female - they
look just like these organs. Today’s research shows
that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances
hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents
cervical cancers. And how profound is this? ….
It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from
blossom to ripened fruit.

There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents
of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern
science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they
grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and
increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male
sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually
balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Onions look like body cells. Today’s research shows
that onions help clear waste materials from all of the
body cells.
They even produce tears which wash the epithelial
layers of the eyes.

And someone will read all this from above and still say there is no God???

Have a great day!!!

Freebie!! The Power of the Letter!

In the Nook…

I found this on Leinani’s blog last week and couldn’t find the link again to share, but NOW I have it and if you’d like to have a free paper greeting card to send to someone you can get a free one with a stamped envelope to mail out here: Power of the Letter.

It’s really truly free, no strings! I got my card in the mail on Good Friday and had completely forgotten that ordered one. I also added my favorite photo of a Tiger Lily that my husband picked for me off the side of the road last year. I would add a picture of the card, but I already have it sealed and ready to mail to a dear friend of mine. This is in celebration of John and Abigail Adams and the letters they wrote to one another during the times they were separated from each other. Go get one! They’re beautiful cards.

A Room With A View - BFS #20

Thank you Heidi for the banner you helped me with!!!!

There are lots of windows in our lives, i.e., window of our soul, closed windows and open windows that God has for our lives, there’s what some people call their, “window of opportunity”, and there’s “eyes are the window to our soul”. The assignment is to take a picture, if you’re able, find a graphic if you can, and write about your favorite window in your home or the one you look out of when you have those ‘daydreaming’ moments. Here’s mine:

I have two favorite windows in my home the first one is my kitchen window because my husband designed our kitchen just so I could see out the window when I’m cooking or while we are doing dishes…

My other favorite window is in my bedroom because I can see the lake across the road on my neighbor’s property during the fall, winter, and much of the spring months. I also love this window ESPECIALLY because during a full moon it shines right into that window and I can fall asleep gazing at it.
