Squirrel appreciation Day!!  Wow, I’m not the only fan of the fine furry creatures.  Again, I’m indebted to a T@B trailer (owner) friend for the link.   (He follows my blog.)  ~~  Thanks Burt!! ~~ From National Wildlife:  

No matter how you feel about squirrels, they are remarkable creatures. These small mammals are some of the most successfully adapted animals to both fragmented habitat and urban living.

While many may see them as vexing pests that consume vast quantities of bird food and scavenge ridiculous things for nesting materials, take Jan. 21 to look at them in a new light — as a reminder of the wildlife around us. I personally love the little guys and helped raise four orphaned babies over several weeks one summer.

In case you were wondering: Squirrel Appreciation Day was created by wildlife rehabilitator Christy Hargrove of Asheville, North Carolina.

It’s also National Hug Day. I found that by reading National Squirrel Day.  One link leads to another, and another, etc., etc.  ~~~  Left double click on the bear.

God’s Little Sticky Notes are such a blessing!!  Click the red link and read inspirational messages.  I really appreciate e-mail messages from friends who supply me with information–from the World Wide Web–that I would never see.  (Hey, I search the Internet for clip art.)

If you check some of my earlier recent blogs you’ll agree I’m in a rut!! Now I direct you to another received e-mail.  As I watched… I thought “the GOOD old days!“.  Yes, I enjoy my computer, my blogs, Google searches for info and clip art, High Def color TV, etc., etc.   BUT, I really relate to small screen black and white television, wholesome programming, and real heroes.  You too??  (Oops, sorry to admit, the music link did not transfer with the e-mail.)

Fast food fast–from Burger King.  Have you heard that they will begin delivery (in select areas)?

I’d like to “wax eloquent” on this subject but few, if any, will listen.  This one comment: I’m spending hours on meal preparation.  I say “thumbs down” on fast food fast and you probably say “thumbs down” on hours in the kitchen.

I just read this interesting article about The Tampered Apple.  As mentioned previously, I am preparing to embark on the “Daniel Fast.”  This is a new concept for me (strange I had never heard of it before) although I have over three decades interest in health and nutrition.  So I’m searching the Internet for additional information.  Click on one link and read information, then it provides another link, and I’m amazed at the hitherto unknown.  ~~  There isn’t a soul who cares whether I live or die.  There isn’t a soul to care for me if I get sick.  I’ve long accepted the responsibility of “taking care of my health.”  Over the last year, I made some exceptions in my earlier eating habits and, consequently, gained weight.  With the “Daniel Fast,” I’ll seek God’s direction for my life–and cleanse the Temple of the Holy Spirit in the process.  I’m a tampered homo sapien.

Irradiated food is something I avoid. Click the red link, read the details.  Watch for that logo because the market probably won’t post a sign that identifies the food item irradiated.

A couple of days ago I posted a blog titled “Laughter is the Best Medicine.”  Tonight I’m getting a double dose of laughter.  First, the birthday celebration for Betty White’s 90th birthday.  Now, a new comedy about senior citizens called “Off Their Rockers.”  So-o-o-o funny!!!!!!

The following came to me as an e-mail message (thanks Burt). It was in large font, and lots of color. So, without at the glitz and glamour, here are some amusing questions and answers. Continue reading →
