Heard something like this in a song today and boy did I need this reminder!… Don’t tell your God about your BIG BIG problems, tell your problems about your BIG BIG GOD! :o)

I just got the “refuse these coins” email again. Again, this is not true.
MYTH BUSTER Presidential Dollar Coins

This image may help make it more clear what happed to the words on some 2007 president coins and how showing only the face was used to promote the false claims.
The drama was fueled again by Romney in his Virgina stump speech this year. “Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaski called Romney’s suggestion about God being removed from U.S. coins the sign of a “desperate” campaign.”
Also Note: The United States Mint previously published the following statement on the 2007 issue:
“The United States Mint has struck more than 300 million George Washington Presidential $1 Coins. We have recently learned that an unspecified quantity of these coins inadvertently left the United States Mint at Philadelphia without edge-lettering on them. It is unknown how many of these coins without inscriptions on the edge have been placed into circulation.”

I just cannot figure out how the heck she did not gain weight everywhere else. I gained all around. And my goodness, how did her tummy look so good AFTER the baby?
Of course, we all know, it gets harder the next time.

Some gals just have that kind of body and skin, I guess. I saw a high school classmate 4 weeks after giving birth and you could not tell she had ever been pregnant ever. Whereas me … I still look about 6 months along, with clearly visible stretch marks, and my youngest is … hmmm. Let me see. 2012 minus 1985. I need more coffee.

I can so relate! I was able to get my 40 pound gain off in three weeks after number 1. That is because with one, you still get some sleep and are able to find time to exercise. But after number 2, (Irish twins), I was too exhausted to do anything but babycare.
I finally got rid of my baby stomach 3 years ago and almost 30 years later, when I learned how to balance my hormones with nutrition, and get my thyroid working with iodine.
I bet this gal won’t have the same abs after her next go round, like the rest of us. LOL

For the Open thread:
“Student Suspended for Refusing to Wear a School-Issued RFID Tracker”
AKA: How they tried blackmailing Christian parents.
Do you really need an RFID tracking system fully capable of tracking, monitoring and recording how long each student and teacher spends sitting on a toilet.
“The district, in a letter last week to the family, said it would allow her to continue attending the magnet school with “the battery and chip removed.” But the girl’s father, Steve Hernandez, said the district told him that the offer came on the condition that he must “agree to stop criticizing the program and publicly support it,” a proposition the father told WND Education that he could not stomach.”

It would be somewhat less offensive if this tracking was about protecting kids from bullying or drugs or something academic like, locating and rousting kids who are smoking in the jon instead of attending class.
But according to this article, it’s all about qualifying for federal funding for students who are on campus, but NOT IN CLASS where they’re supposed to be … which is kind of the opposite of a good reason in my humble opinion. If the kid is NOT IN CLASS, then there’s no reason they should qualify for federal education dollars.

What is even more disturbing about RFID is that it’s always on. Meaning that for a few hundred dollars and a laptop your child can be tracked and recorded “any place” (that they have their school id with them) by anyone. Making it a simple task to track a student from school to home and establish a pattern complete with time and distance and ETA. There is no such thing as security for RFID that I know of. Also by collecting other RFIDs a profile can very simply be built by the school or anyone else of exactly what student spends time with another and by inference associates with another students at school or school events, even off campus at the local Starbuck’s.

Another point that may not have been clear. Just think of your horror to find out that the school has profiled your daughter as a stoner for the last year. Simply because someone misread the data that showed your child each day in the proximity of the known group for stoner’s between classes, But neglected to detail that they were simply two group one on each side of a wall. Opening the question where are the check’s and balances of how the data is used and validated.

Speaking of wired:
First of all, no one is addressing the health problems with these things emitting dangerous EMF’s all day. Imagine having a school of them! If you don’t think it can make you crazy. Go into an Apple store with a portable radio, and listen to all the crazy static. THAT has got to be the most dangerous place to work in America.
And we all must be aware of the Smart Meter movement. These things are a part of Agenda 21. They will leave us all open to cyber terrorism. With one button, terrorists can darken the world in the future. We have to fight these things NOW.
This needs to be a part of every local tea party agenda.

Something NICE to cheer y’all. Dearest was away this weekend, so Monkey Junior’s mama called and we I had a wonderful long talk. One story she told me about was how exciting it had been for her to watch the Summer Olympics, because she actually RAN against one of our track team members when they were in high school. :o)
Before one of her meets, she had heard one of the schools had a girl who was blazingly fast, like 4:20 mile. While stretching, she saw a girl nearby in that uniform, so asked who the fast girl was and the girl blushed and said shyly, “that would be me.” Dd was so impressed. That girl was at a TINY school. They probably have an entire trophy case just for her and her NATIONAL records and wins! She had every reason to be a total too-big-headed brat, but dd says she was sooo nice.
My fave part of the story was when dd told me that she and said Olympian (whose name escapes me, sorry!) actually crossed the finish line at exactly the same time in one of their races! … Of course, my kid still had to go around again before her part of the race was done LOL.

What a cute story. As a mom of a former Div III All American in track, I miss watching those exciting races.
