Change

Life is about change. As seasons change so do relationships.
Some for the better and some for the not so better.
Exciting days ahead when kids head back to school
Every year they get older and wiser and adults become less so. lol

My once little boy changed
He helped today by painting the front door area.
Now the garage doors need to be done.
Eventually maybe we can change the whole house a bit.
It all takes time since rain will become an issue again.
So house changes are in the agenda this year.

New money is in for a change to be safer to use.
Every year they come up with new money and
it is hard to keep up especially globally it seems .

Even chicken changes.
Not only do they come in different sizes and colors but it seems in names too lol
Yup seasons bring in a lot of changes and why not?
It would be boring otherwise.

I would love to go back to Happy Days with the Fonz and
with Cookie combing his hair on 77 Sunset strip
but he was before my time with his black leather jacket.
Girls wore bobby socks and two tones penny loafers,
which looked like golf shoes.
Try getting our kids to wear those shoes today. lol
Car races were as popular then as they are today and just as deadly.


Change .

Have a great day!

What Came First The Chicken or The Egg?

Here is some miscellaneous info.

One level teaspoon consists of 80 drops.

If 1 cup = 240 ml.

1 Gallon = 15.772549 cups

If 1 jelly bean = 1.5 cm long and 1 cm wide

A 1 gallon pickling jar can take about 5000 jelly beans.

Some like to melt the candy down to see exactly how many can be put in.

The same with quarters. If you melt them there would be no air space between the items.

Chocolate dates back 3,500 years, to the Olmec civilization in Mexico.

New York was once known as “New Amsterdam”.

The name Harlem came from a Dutch city of Haarlem in the Netherlands.

Prostitution dates back 2,500 years back to Greece who worshipped the Goddess Venus

And temples were up kept by women charging men for servicing them.

Prostitution is mentioned in Ezekiel and Isaiah.

Brothels existed in 600 BCE

Homosexuality is talked about in the Bible since Noah’s time in Genesis:

"And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him."
What did Ham do? Did he just look at his naked father or was there something more to it than that?

Some commentators have suggested that Ham committed homosexual rape on his drunken father,

and that this was why Ham's descendants were eternally punished with slavery. 9:24

What came first, the chicken or the egg.?

Wikipedia helped here.

Evolutionary believers believe: Since DNA can be modified only before birth, a mutation must have taken place at conception or within an egg such that an animal similar to a chicken, but not a chicken, laid the first chicken egg. In this light, both the egg and the chicken evolved simultaneously from birds that were not chickens and did not lay chicken eggs but gradually became more and more like chickens over time.

Creationists believe: The Judeo-Christian story of creation describes God creating birds, and commanding them to multiply, but makes no direct mention of eggs.

Hindus: creation of birds (and other life forms) by God through superhuman beings is stated in Puranas and Dharmasastras. If one broadens one's definition of "an egg" to include non-chicken egg, the Hindu mythology also mentions a "cosmic egg" from which the universe as known to humans originated. In this sense this supreme egg comes before all creatures, including chickens and chicken eggs.

Buddhism = There is the belief of the wheel of time which regards time as cyclical and with repeating ages, as some other cultures such as mesoamerican (Aztecs, Mayan) and some native American Indians believe. Their idea of time gives a different answer to the question of "who is first" when combined with the concept of Eternal Return which is well known in the Western culture through the writings of Nietzsche. The assumption is that time is eternally repetitive and therefore, there is no "first" in eternity, there is no creation.

The answer then becomes: None is first. There is no "first" in a cyclical view of time.

Three old women are talking about their aches, pains and bodily dysfunctions.
One seventy-five year old woman says, "I have this problem. I wake up at seven a.m. and it takes me twenty minutes to pee."
An eighty year old woman says, "My case is worse. I get up at eight a.m. and I sit there and grunt and groan for half an hour before I finally have a bowel movement."
The ninety year old woman says, "At seven a.m. I pee like a horse and at eight I crap like a cow."
"So what's your problem?" asked the others.
"I don't wake up until nine."

The Sky is Falling!!!

Once upon a time, there was a very nice little 12 year old girl

……….me.:)

It was spring, school was almost over, and I took my usual morning walk at 5 am.

This was the only time I could escape and ride my bike to the back river, as it was known back then.

It was on one of these beautiful mornings that

I saw this midsized chick running down the street. It lost the yellow color and turned white with spots and it sure ran fast.

Behind it ran a cat, trying to catch it.

I bent down and to my surprise this chicken ran straight into my arms.

Well I was so happy and decided to take this chicken home as I did not know where it lived.

Needless to say, it became my chicken. It ate from my hand, watched TV sleeping in my lap while I pet it,

and followed me around wherever I walked.

We became great friends.

Well it kept growing, so my Dad said we couldn’t keep it and maybe we could give it to my Grand Mother.

I said ok because I knew fighting with my Parents would be futile.

My Mother kept her house disinfected and so clean you could eat off her floors

So we took my friendly chicken to my grandmother.

She had a great place under her balcony for him.

She tied a long cord to its leg and the chicken had a lot of room to walk around the yard.

We came a few times to visit it and my grandmother fed him well with bread crusts and left

over people food which had lots of greens and grains in it.

Well, weeks went by, we went camping and were busy doing family things and before long it was fall.

My Dad said lets go visit Grandmother and I was so happy because I knew I would see my chicken,

expecting to hold it and pet it like I did before.

I put on a nice yellow dress and yellow shoes with heels, curled my hair getting ready for the visit.

When we arrived I ran to the back door and down the stairs to see my chicken.

To my surprise I did not see my chicken but this huge gray rooster whose head came up to my waist .

He was gorgeous!

But….. he didn’t recognize me.

He began to run in attack mode.

I got scared and hightailed it back up the stairs in my heels and just barely had time to shut the door on his head.

Thankfully, I missed it.

Anyway, I told my Dad and he began to laugh.

He went outside, down the stairs, while I watched and the rooster put one wing down and began to caw caw dance around my Fathers’ legs.

My Dad laughed and said:” I guess he is wooing me and needs a female chicken to keep him company.”

He gave the rooster some bread and we were both amazed at how big and gorgeous this rooster had become.

When he came indoors my grandmother told us what a great guard dog he was. He chased dogs cats and even people from his yard.

No one dared come there anymore.

I on the other hand was depressed that my chicken didn’t know me anymore. He loved my Grandmother.

Then I heard my Dad and Grandma whispering and when we came a few weeks later,

This great rooster every one loved, disappeared and I guess ended in the soup pot.

lol

The enemy was not man but the weather because he would not survive the cold winter outside.

And so the sky fell on my beautiful rooster who looked more like a Turkey than a rooster.

(Turkeys can't be kept together with chickens or the chickens get sick and die.)

I have never seen a rooster like him since and I do feel making soup out of him was the wrong thing to do but

I will never forget the look in his eye when he chased me up the stairs that day.lol

He left us with a mystery as to where he came from and why but he served his purpose in more ways than one, as a friend, as a guard and as good chicken noodle soup.

The Eccentric

The most eccentric Egg I know is the beautiful Faberge.

Like Yucka –WOW!

Faberge was a company formed in 1885 designing mostly small eggs, to be worn on a chain around the neck.
The eggs themselves were precious stones decorated and surrounded by enamel and gem stones.
Needless to say, that with their eloquence, these eggs were nothing to yolk about.

Ok...... bad yolk.

We should not be cruel . Not all eggs are what they are cracked up to be. But one thing for sure, these eggs......
will not be egg - sploring on fry – days or any other day loll

OK seriously now….

1 egg = 13 vitamins = 75 calories

A magician , after pulling an egg out of a boys ear, asked: I bet your Mama can’t produce eggs without chickens eh?
The boy replied : Sure she can. We have ducks. Loll
Kids are as smart as old timers. They don't search their pockets for words lol

I guess we can say eggs are nothing short of being eggstra- ordinary and we must make sure the hens that lay them,
have a happy life, eating natural, untainted food.
Back yard chickens anyone?

So next time you see an egg…… egg –zamine it closely for all the egg- splosive reasons as to why
A chicken should come before the egg.

Or……..
The egg before the chicken........

Or why......... whichever way it came……

a hard boiled egg, can be an easy part, of a daily diet.:)
