Ella....DARE Devil

As I was making a yummy dinner, and darling Jadan was sitting at the island coloring through his whole spiderman book I heard Kesha hiss...like usual and noticed there was someone trying her best to get that cat! We have learned new ways to get onto and into everything around us, so Ya Ya and Pa Po beware next time she is at your house.

Poor Blankie

We have just been told that Jadan's Great Grandma Harth (Randy's) will be making Jadan a NEW blanket when she comes out here next month! We are so excited and yes mom, I will make sure that the NEW one stays at home while the other lovely one goes in pub=blic all torn and ratted.

One reason the war in Iraq needs to end.

William Wallace

Another reason I might not have posted about health yet...ENTER: THE CROSSBOW!!

William Wallace: And if this is your army, why does it go?
Veteran: We didn't come here to fight for them!
Young Soldier: Home! The English are too many!
William Wallace: Sons of Scotland! I am William Wallace.
Young Soldier: William Wallace is seven feet tall!
William Wallace: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.
[Scottish army laughs]
William Wallace: I *am* William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men... and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?
Veteran: Fight? Against that? No! We will run. And we will live.
William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
[Scottish army cheers]
William Wallace: Alba gu bra!
["Scotland forever!"]
Army: ALBA GU BRA! ALBA GU BRA! ALBA GU BRA!

Beer+Cognac=Health?!?

I know my last few postings of my stimulus check and the alcohol were slightly off-topic as it relates to the health topic we voted on...but worry not..I'm currently working and researching my first post. I'm mired in the origins of dualism, so far I've skipped like a smooth stone off the Cartesian-era, bounded through early Greek philosophy and am deciding whether or not to chase the rabbit down the hole any further than Zoroastrianism...any thoughts...should I take it easy? :)

I'm thinking we could tackle the sub-topics roughly this way...physical health (1-2 weeks) mental health (1-2 weeks) and social well-being (1 week) with any extra stuff serving as a nice bookend. (Is bookend one word or two?)

The reasons for my getting into dualism are probably obvious to you already. It's hard to discuss physical health without talking about mental health, and vice-versa. Mental health can drag down a thoroughbred (...I should know...) and certainly while fat people seem happy sitting on the couch covered in a fine coating of grease and powdered sugar...would we say they are the sanest among us?

So...I'll keep digging through on-line sources...but until then...a nugget...what's more important: Physical Health or Mental Health? Does one trump the other? Or are they working truely in unison?

Also, any experiences where one affected the other for you personally? Do they seem to falter at the same time, or does one always lead the other? Cart vs. Horse? (Which one is which)

Happy thoughts...
