She  hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always  there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see  the world, I will marry you.' One day,  someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages  came off, she was able to see everything, including her  boyfriend. He asked  her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The  girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The  sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected  that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life  led her to refuse to marry him. Her  boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her  saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before  they were yours, they were mine.'

You know the kind I mean, clunky heeled, black, lace-up kind, They just looked so very awful that it weighed upon my mind. For I knew when I grew old, I'd have to wear those shoes I'd think of that, from time to time, it seemed like such bad news. I never was a rebel, I wore saddle shoes to school And next came ballerinas, then sandals, pretty cool. And then came spikes with pointed toes, then platforms, very tall. As each new fashion came along, I wore them one and all. But always, in the distance, looming in my future there, Was that awful pair of ugly shoes, the kind that Grandmas wear. I eventually got married, and then became a mom, Our kids grew up and left, and then their children came along. I knew I was a grandma and the time was drawing near When those chunky, black, old lace-up shoes were what I'd have to wear. How would I do my gardening, or take my morning hi... http://scottishps.multiply.com/journal/item/40/Grandmas_Shoes Fri, 8 Feb 2008 01:26:38 -0000 Aprons Aprons  I don't think our kids know what an apron is.     The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath,  but along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.     It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even  used for cleaning out dirty ears.     From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks,  and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.     When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids.     And when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms.     Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove.     Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron.             &... http://scottishps.multiply.com/journal/item/35/Aprons Fri, 1 Feb 2008 23:43:06 -0000 Fight a Bad Mood in the Bath!   When you don't feel your best, it's all too easy to think up reasons to skip your workout and reach for the ice cream. Don't do it! When those bad days hit, put down the pint of Rocky Road and treat yourself to this mood-boosting bath instead! Simply take a handful of fresh pine needles, put them into the toe of an old pair of pantyhose (a great way to put those snagged pairs to use!), and tie a knot at the top. Hang the bag under the warm water as you fill the tub — this will release the natural oils in the needles. Add a few drops of vanilla essential oil to the water and start soaking! Between the invigorating evergreen scent and the uplifting aroma of vanilla, you'll have a smile on your face and the pep back in your step in no time! http://scottishps.multiply.com/journal/item/33/_Fight_a_Bad_Mood_in_the_Bath Thu, 31 Jan 2008 22:07:43 -0000 THE JUNK DRAWER THE JUNK DRAWER by Al Batt   Where did the flyswatter hang in the kitchen of the house you grew up in?  Which closet kept the used Christmas wrapping paper?  Where did the stacks of old National Geographic magazines collect dust?  Every home has roots, warmth, anchors, laughter, tears, a place to hang a flyswatter and a junk drawer.  I'm sure archaeologists have discovered junk drawers in caves. The junk drawer.  It's a yard sale in a drawer.  The junk drawer is a place where things slink off to hide from us.  A place for things that have moved well off the beaten path.  It's like an attic.  We tend to forget what's in the attic.  It's always a surprise--pleasant or unpleasant--when we once again see what inhabits the attic. The junk drawer is like a museum without a curator--a museum without a custodian. As a boy, I knew that while some houses had a number of junk drawers, every house had at least one junk drawer.  The junk drawe... http://scottishps.multiply.com/journal/item/32/THE_JUNK_DRAWER Wed, 30 Jan 2008 20:12:27 -0000 RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE 1.

I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our        anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!"        she said.     So I suggested the kitchen. 5. We always hold hands.    If I let go, she shops. 6.

Plaintiffs allege copyright infringement arising from unauthorized use and exploitation of original sound and video recordings by encouraging and enabling users of Multiply to upload and share performances of well-known musical groups. What gives? This sounds like EMI is suing YouTube type service. But, after casually visiting Multiply's <A href="http://multiply.com/">website</A>, which boasts "Multiply makes it easy to create, share and discuss your blog, photos, videos and music with more of the people you know, and less of the people you don't"; it looks like this is more of an online storage site, giving users their own "homepage" to share with the world.

The laundry wasn't finished and the car I had to fix, My stocks were down another point, the Dolphins lost by six. And so with only minutes till my son got home from school I gave up on the drudgery and grabbed a wooden stool. The burdens that I carried were about all that I could take, And so I flipped the TV on to catch a little break. I came upon a desert scene in shades of tan and rust, No snowflakes hung upon the wind, just clouds of swirling dust. And where the reindeer should have stood before a laden sleigh, Eight Hummers ran a column right behind an M1A. A group of boys walked past the tank, not one was past his teens. Their eyes were hard as polished flint, their faces drawn and lean. They walked the street in armor with their rifles shouldered tight, Their dearest wish for Christmas, just to have a silent night. Other soldiers gathered,... http://scottishps.multiply.com/journal/item/23/Christmas_in_the_Dust Tue, 25 Dec 2007 18:21:48 -0000 MERRY CHRISTMAS   <IMG src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=82d8fe1e7c&attid=0.2&disp=emb&view=att&th=116ffa63c9d22fb0" width=584 align=baseline border=0> MERRY CHRISTMAS... On the way home last night, I was listening to the radio when a newscaster called his little 91 year old granny to talk to her about the 'Holidays'. He mentioned that he had noticed that Christmas has become so 'politically correct' that no mention of Christmas is made by most retailers, we now wish people 'Happy Holidays.'  His granny said she missed the Old Fashioned Christmas when everyone wished each other 'Merry Christmas'.  I thought about it and agree...so this year I will be making a conscious effort to wish everyone Merry Christmas...my way of saying that I am celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. So if  you agree with me,  please do the same and hopefully we can prevent one more treasured  tradition from being lost in the sea of 'Political Correctness.'  God Bless and MERRY CHRISTMAS!! http://scottishps.multiply.com/journal/item/22/MERRY_CHRISTMAS Sun, 23 Dec 2007 16:50:41 -0000 Christmas Story - The Gas Station Today I received a lovely Christmas Story called The Gas Station.  You will find it at the link below.  It is worth a read. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://tinyurl.com/3besg5">http://tinyurl.com/3besg5</a> Paula   http://scottishps.multiply.com/journal/item/21/Christmas_Story_-_The_Gas_Station Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:28:37 -0000 Scottish Newsletter You will find a variation of things in this.

With Christmas just around the corner, a Wellington photographer's skyward discovery has all the makings of a jolly prank. But Alan Blacklock's shot of a cloud formation that looks remarkably like a reindeer is the real deal and not some festive lark. The happy snapper, a photographer for Niwa, captured the shot while sitting in the backyard of his suburban Paparangi home late on Sunday afternoon. "I was just in the right place at the right time. It was a fluke, just one of those things," he said. MetService meteorologist Ross Marsden confirmed the discovery was genuine. He said the shapes and forms of the cloud were the result of the light winds from variable directions which were at the cirrus cloud level (about 10,000 metres) when the photo was taken. "Some time earlier or later, or from a different viewing location, this cloud would have had a different appearance," he said. Eye on the sky: Have you photographed any odd-shaped clouds?
