SEEN & HEARD IN ROANE COUNTY

Places to visit in Roane County

By O.I. Seenya • A cashier at a local business laughing, while she held up the line, while texting on her phone.

• A Paw Paw and his Grand daughter riding a motorcycle around their pool, then accidentally sliding it into the pool.

The biggest scream and concern from Nanny? OMG--Did it tear the lining?

• Beautiful flowers at South Harriman Baptist Church!

• Arbys mobile sandwich service coming to Lowes parking lot for the next few weeks to help decide if Roane County is a good fit for a restaurant.

Fort Southwest Point was constructed in 1797. It was located in Kingston, overlooking the Clinch and Tennessee Rivers. At its peak there were 625 soldiers stationed there. It became the headquarters for federal troops in Tennessee under the command of Colonel David Henley, as agent of war. The U. S. government’s shift to a protectionist role with the Cherokee was seen in how the troops carried their role as peace keepers. Their escort service across Cherokee territory became less to protect the travelers from attack by the Cherokee and more to ensure the travelers did not illegally settle on Cherokee owned lands. Also, the troops began to further protect Cherokee rights by forcibly removing white settlers who had illegally settled on Cherokee lands.

Several treaties with the Cherokee were negotiated and signed at the fort. The Treaty of Tellico was also negotiated there.

Roane County’s first post office was located at Fort Southwest Point. The first Indian school was also located at the fort site to teach the Indian children how to speak English.

Fort Southwest Point is the only fort in Tennessee being reconstructed on its original foundation. The completed sections of the fort include a barracks, a blockhouse and 250 feet of palisade walls.

The fort is owned and maintained by the City of Kingston.

Open Tues. - Sat. 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Closed Sun. and Mon. From Interstate 40 take Exit 352. Travel 1.9 miles on Highway 58 South. The Fort is on the hill on the right overlooking the junction of the Tennessee, Clinch, and Emory Rivers.

Precious Memories By: Kay Christopher

The Emory Gap Cemetery Growing up in Emory Gap, Mama made all of kids go to church every Sunday.

She and Daddy didn’t go with us, but she demanded we went ourselves.

She didn’t care which church we went to, or if we only went just for Sunday School, as long as we went somewhere.

We would either go to Valley Chapel Methodist or Emory Gap Baptist. A small child doesn’t know the difference in denominations, so we just went to both.

One Sunday, me and my sister Sandra went to the Baptist church.

It’s located behind Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken. At that time, there was nothing in the area except houses.

A few houses behind the church was an old cemetery. Old folks said it was a cemetery for blacks, but there were white people buried there, also.

We went to Sunday School, then left, not staying for church. We walked down the road and up to the old graveyard.

Old tombstones or carved rocks were plentiful.

I don’t remember the oldest markers, but seems like they were in the early 1800s.

The cemetery was not well kept and there were weeds and thorns growing everywhere.

It was sad to see all the forgotten graves left to grow up into trees.

I read in the 60s, when the interstate came to downtown Emory Gap, that someone went in and graded a lot of the cemetery lots to put a store in on the highway. The developer denied it, but ancestors of the dead said there were several graves missing.

Since the cemetery was so abandoned, I guess there was no way of proving where the grave sites had been.

There are historical groups working on projects of identifying grave sites and cemeteries in the county. Maybe they can solve the mystery of the missing graves.

God grant me a vacation to make bearable what I can’t change. A friend to make it funny and the wisdom to never get my knickers in a knot because it solves nothing and makes me walk funny. our new location is

IN MEMORY - Ray Adams

February 5, 1930 - September 22, 2013

Memories of a Mountain Boy - Not very much thought about by anyone but remembered by many at times - the late 1930's and early 1940's. I was born in 1930 during the depression days in the average mountain family the middle one of seven children. Always proud of a hard working dad and mother who taught to love and fear God, work and save for a rainy day. I cherished the memories of youth and the acquaintances of old people. A family blessed with love, health and vitality. Days when the horse, mule and ox were going out and cars, trucks and machinery were moving in.

Some very vivid memories of the stories and tales of the family and old folk which my children and young people of today know very little of such as snow on the covers in early morn, dragging wood after school after walking two miles one way to school, and the homemade cakes and cookies for Christmas. The Saturday wash day, with wash pots and tubs with rub boards and carrying of wood and water, and the days before diapers when mom sent for a hip pin to change young sis, and hogs to slop, chickens to feed and gather eggs, cows to milk, kindling to get before supper. So, lessons to learn by kerosene lamp after supper. Wet days or bad weather was to shuck corn then shell for mill days. First the water mills then the gasoline. Spring days were the busy days for getting ready for an early garden, stables to clean, hens nest to make, and a thousand and one other things to do. When Kylie is making great progress in preschool for the hearing impair- planting was done and the days began to get warm the perch and brim began to bite in the creek. ment. Kylie is working on lip reading and she is getting speech Ray Adams (1/8/1970) therapy twice a week and last month she said ball, bear and baby.

Her mom takes her to school every day & wanted you to know they still need a lot of prayers and wanted to say “Thank You” to every If you have a need please contact us anytime, we are here to encourage you and will one for keeping Kylie & the family in your prayers. Kylie has a put you on a pray list, pray over you or try to help with your needs anyway we can. long way to go but they know through God his work will be done.

We want to pray for you!

We want to show you the love of Christ - Roane Reader (865) 882-9340

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved.

But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.” Anne Lamott

God’s Fireworks

To close each day's activities in summer and on holidays in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World at Lake Buena Vista, Fla., a huge fireworks display lights up the sky.

One night I noticed a small boy about three years old perched on his father's shoulder. The child sat mesmerized, aware only of what was exploding in the heavens.

When the fireworks were over, the little boy looked up into the sky again and said, "Thank you, God."

The Church Feud Church feuds are not uncommon. But when the pastor and choir director get into it, stand aside.

One week our pastor decided to press his position by preaching on commitment, and how we should dedicate ourselves to service. That Sunday, the choir director led the choir in singing, 'I Shall Not Be Moved.'

The next Sunday, the pastor preached on giving and how we should gladly give to the work of the Lord. The choir director then led the song, 'Jesus Paid It All.' The next Sunday, the pastor preached on gossiping and how we should watch our tongues.

The hymn was 'I Love To Tell The Story.'

The pastor became disgusted over the situation, and the next Sunday he told the congregation he was considering resigning.

The choir then sang 'Oh, Why Not Tonight.'

After the pastor resigned the next week, he preached his last sermon at the church telling the congregation that Jesus had led him there and Jesus was taking him away. The choir then sang, 'What A Friend We Have in Jesus.'

During the Mass at communion time, we say, Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Jesus knows how hard it is to remain a Good Christian in the world. He knows what you are tempted to do. After you ask Jesus to help, you will be strong enough to say, “No,” to the wrong words and actions and “Yes,” to the right words and actions.

The Boulder

Always remember that every obstacle can be an opportunity.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.

Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then, a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.

After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

The peasant learned what many of us never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

Here Comes the Bride All eyes were on the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle. They reached the altar and the waiting groom, the bride kissed her father and placed something in his hand.

The guests in the front pews responded with ripples of laughter.

Even the priest smiled broadly. As her father gave her away in marriage, the bride gave him back his credit card.

Aunt Hattie's "Hurry-Up" Recipes

Household Hints Grating onions. Put your onion holding hand in a plastic bag. Then when you are finished grating put the bag around the onion without touching it. The leftover onion is ready to refrigerate and your hands don't smell!

Cutting onions. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying!

Unclog salt shaker. Put a few grains of rice in with the salt, which will absorb any moisture.

Eliminate the fat from soup and stew. Drop a few ice cubes into the pot and stir. The fat will cling to the cubes. Just throw away the ice cubes before they melt!

Pour the sauce evenly over the wings, turning them over with a spatula or tongs to coat all sides with sauce.

Kotlikoff: Investors at Risk of Wipe out… SIPC is a Fraud…

Economist warns all Americans to close brokerage accounts immediately!

In the event of a Ponzi scheme, the SIPC will claw back money from anyone who has withdrawn it in the last two years, Kotlikoff says.

Economist Laurence Kotlikoff is calling on all Americans to close their brokerage accounts immediately because of the risk of a total wipe out — a risk he says stems from a massive Wall Street insurance scam perpetrated by the Securities Investor Protection Corp. (SIPC).

Bob Tonachio “SIPC, a brokerage ‘insurance’ arm of Wall Street, has been and remains today engaged in insurance fraud,” Kotlikoff told ThinkAdvisor in a telephone interview. “SIPC claims to insure brokerage accounts. Nothing could be farther from the truth. What it's really doing is placing all brokerage account holders at extreme risk.”

The Boston University professor, who has long been outspoken on a wide range of public policy questions, was careful to add that investors in mutual funds are likely to be safe if their fund companies place assets in the care of third-party custodians who are responsible for the safety of customer funds and do nothing but custody assets.

But the arrangement is very different in the case of brokerage accounts, nearly all of which notify their customers — fraudulently in Kotlikoff’s view — that accounts are insured up to $500,000.

The economist offers as his Exhibit A of the fraudulent nature of this insurance the fact that Wall Street firms, including such giants as Goldman Sachs with nearly a trillion dollars in assets, were, until the Madoff scandal, paying premiums totaling a mere $150 a year to SIPC. (Today SIPC members pay .0025 of net revenue from eligible products.)

“How can there be any insurance protection for brokerage accounts if they don’t have any money [to pay claims]?” Kotlikoff asks.

Congress created SIPC in 1970 legislation to protect investors in the event of a brokerage failure and thereby increase their confidence, but the Wall Street firms who make up its membership prefer to hold onto their cash rather than reserve funds sufficient to pay large claims to investors.

But the real crime, says Kotlikoff, is a process by which Wall Street firms criminalize innocent brokerage account holders by essentially making them pay for any criminal misconduct — not once, but twice.

“If your broker, or the broker at the next desk, engages in fraud that shuts down the firm,” Kotlikoff explains, you’ve not only lost your hard-earned assets, but SIPC will put its army of paid-by-the-hour lawyers to recover other customer losses from you.

By declaring the fraud a Ponzi scheme, the organization can claw back any funds from account holders who withdrew money from their accounts in the past two years (or six, under some circumstances), under the theory that the account holders knew something was amiss and reacted by withdrawing their wealth.

Beauty is in the Beholder’s Eye

An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.

"You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in the line said to the little fellow.

Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him.

"I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles," she said, while tracing her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful."

The boy looked up, "Really?"

"Of course," said the grandmother. "Why just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles."

The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles."

DICHOTOMY OF AGE

By: Timothy Joseph There exists a double standard when it comes to aging. Everything is hunky-dory from the time we are born, all through adolescence, school, college, and career. Then, all of a sudden, a duplicity rears its ugly head and we’re seen as “old”. Along with that vision (from the younger set—and yes, some of the “older” set) we have suddenly lost all the attributes of youth.

I appreciate very much that “seniors” get very minor financial breaks by businesses, we should, we’re not making those big bucks anymore, and fixed incomes can’t match full time salaries. And I’m glad there is an AARP, and Medicare. I fully accept I can’t work my butt off physically as I use to, re-shingle my roof, or split a cord of wood in one afternoon, but I draw the line right there—physical endurance—that’s it.

It upsets me that our society suddenly shoves us into various pockets of diminished intellect, value, emotion, and ability. My vast experience gave me what no ‘right out of college’ professional could possibly have—far more knowledge. Was that 25 year-old a manager on a 2.02 Billion Dollar project; has he testified on the stand regarding numerous environmental concerns; has he written hundreds of documents and professional journal articles; or taught students how to think? I have. No, it doesn’t make me a better person or special at all, but it does make me ‘smarter.’ I’m one heck of a lot keener now than when I graduated with my gung-ho Ph.D. Just because my muscles today can’t match my twenty or thirty year old muscles, don’t go projecting that inability anywhere else—yet society does—big time.

Case in point-1: How often will a company hire a seasoned professional over 65 instead of a 25 year old suave looking guy in a slim three-piece suit with nowhere near the experience?

Need I answer that? I can out-write, out-think, out-produce, and out-manage any 25 year old, but companies will nearly always place their bet on the younger guy. I’m not “knocking” the younger set at all, I was once there, wanted that job, and glad I got it, but I sure as heck wasn’t smarter than the older guy competing with me.

Case in point-2: TV is full of romance, passion, sex, and love. We see unclad gorgeous male and female bodies in all positions of passion fill the evening shows. Great looking young high school kids, and thirty and forty year old models are continually entwined, moaning, kissing and cuddling—their lovely naked butt’s right there in front of us. They are deeply emotional, passionate, loving, sensitive, and may even cry because they love someone so much. That’s great—and beautiful. But how many times have you seen an “Older” couple with the same love story, profoundly emotional, kissing, entwined, tears? I can’t think of any.

The “Less than Senior” population (in the majority), have two very skewed misconceptions about us. One, they assume we somehow left all our emotions behind when it comes to passion, love, and affection (or don’t want to imagine it); and two, they believe we can no longer feel love or as much depth of emotion as ‘they’ do, because after so long, surely you must lose it. So, without realizing, the “Senior” minority is unfairly pushed into the closet, while the good looking, virile, younger set are assumed to be the exclusive owners of passion.

Okay all you “younger set” who may be reading this (if you haven’t stopped by now), quit shaking your heads at me—I know you are. I’m not at all upset. I envy you, and I wish I were your age. Celebrate your passion, just know I too own it, and I too celebrate it. Don’t shudder thinking that when I kiss my beautiful wife, I get turned on, even with wrinkles on my brow. You don’t get offended seeing those beautiful young bodies gyrating in the movies—so just understand that a few wrinkles aren’t barriers to passion, but in fact are but lines of script written upon our faces declaring a beautiful life filled with love and passion. Erase that dumb “age” duplicity because it doesn’t exist—won’t you please? Society needs to stop and understand that to pigeonhole based on how many times a person has traveled around the sun, makes no sense whatsoever.

If you believe for a second an eighteen or twenty year old has more passion or love than a seventy year old, well, simply put, you’re wrong. Hey, I was once an eighteen year old, a twenty year old, a thirty year old, and a forty year old. When I fell in love with a girl in high school (she knows who she is), it was intense and real, and made tears flow from my eyes. And when I fell in love with my wife, it was intense and real, and made tears flow from my eyes. And the love I have today for my wife, is intense and real, and makes tears flow from my eyes. And when I think of that beautiful girl in high school I fell in love with, it is still intense and real and brings tears to my eyes. You get the point?

Look, please, don’t think for a moment that the younger set have anything over the senior set, except maybe the ability to get hired or split a cord of wood. My ability to think, comprehend, create, and produce, as well as my depth of emotion, passion, love, and empathy, have only “Increased” with time and experience—NOT diminished.

Society, look at the facts (other than the number of years alive), and see every “Individual” for all they are, age aside. Sure, there will come a time when everyone will eventually lose their mental faculties, and that’s when you can call me ‘old’ and be correct that I’m diminished. And we all will get there—including you, no one is immune. But until then, though we have wrinkles and our hair line is retreating, know that we have just as much depth, intellect, creativity, vitality, ability, passion, emotion, and love as you do—NO!—in all honesty, we lead you in all those areas, but hey, it won’t be long until you catch up to us. I wish you love. tj - www.timothyjoseph.net

9-11...We Should Never Forget

1. The number of children who lost a parent in the events of 9/11 was 3,051. Seventeen babies were subsequently born to women whose husbands died during the attacks. Nine months after 9/11, the number of births in New York City rose by 20 percent compared to the same month in 2000.

2. The total value of art lost when the Twin Towers collapsed exceeded $100 million. Items included Alexander Calder’s sculpture WTC Stabile, Joan Miró’s epic World Trade Center Tapestry, a painting from Roy Lichtenstein’s Entablature series, and others by Picasso and David Hockney.

3. One of the unsung heroes of 9/11 was a guide dog, Roselle, a yellow Labrador who led her blind owner, Michael Hingson, down 78 stories of the North Tower and to the home of a friend.

4. Only 291 dead bodies were recovered “intact” from Ground Zero. The parents of Lisa Anne Frost, 22, who was a passenger on United Flight 175, which hit the South Tower, had to wait almost a year before anything belonging to their daughter was found by workers sifting through debris.

5. In total, workers sifted through more than one million tons of debris looking for remains and personal effects. They found 65,000 items, including 437 watches and 144 wedding rings.

6. The section of the Pentagon hit by Flight 77 had just undergone a $258 million rearmament, in which walls had been strengthened and reinforced windows had been installed. Many right next to the plane’s point of impact remained intact.

7. When the 9/11 ringleader, Mohamed Atta, checked in at Logan airport, in Boston, his name triggered an alert on the airport’s security system and his bags were never put in the plane’s hold.

8. Hundreds of memorials, dedications, flagpoles, crucifixes and artworks have been made using steel from Ground Zero. These include a cross in Shanksville, Philadelphia, where United Flight 93 crashed, made out of steel from the North Tower, and a Memory and Light monument in Padua, Italy.

9. Property developer Larry Silverstein bought the 99-year lease on the World Trade Center for $3.2 billion just six months before they were destroyed. He is now rebuilding a commercial office and shopping complex, alongside a memorial and museum, on the site.

10. Earlier this year, the official death count for 9/11 was raised by one to 2,753. New York’s Medical Examiner’s Office ruled that Jerry Borg, an accountant and part-time actor, had died in late 2010 from a lung disease caused by inhaling dust close to the World Trade Center.

11. Five of the 9/11 hijackers stayed in a motel right outside the gates of the American spy organization, the National Security Agency, in the days immediately before the attacks.

12. Black boxes stored in the tail of Flight 77 were reported as having been discovered in the Pentagon on September 12 2001.

Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld later said that data from the cockpit voice recorder was unrecoverable. This is thought to be the first time in 40 years that a cockpit voice tape, once found, has yielded no data.

A Wild Party

A Dog and a Boy

A man goes to a party and has too much to drink. His friends plead with him to let them take him home. He says no - he only lives a mile away.

About five blocks from the party the police pull him over for weaving all over the road, ask him to get out of the car and take the breathalyzer test. Just as he is about to blow into the bag, the police radio informs the policemen of a robbery taking place in a house a short distance away.

The police tell the partygoer to remain where he is, they will be right back; and they run down the street to the robbery.

The guy waits and waits and finally decides to drive home.

When he gets there, he tells his wife he is going to bed, and to tell anyone who might come looking for him that he has 'flu and has been in bed all day.

A few hours later the police knock on the door. They ask if Mr. X lives there and his wife says yes. They ask to see him and she replies that he is in bed with 'flu and has been there all day. However, the police have his driver's license. They ask to see his car, and she asks why.

They insist on seeing his car, so she takes them to the garage and opens the door where they find the police car, lights still flashing.

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups, and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard.

As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt tug on his overalls.

He looked down into the eyes of a little boy....

"Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."

"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat of the back of his neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."

The boy dropped his head for a moment, then reaching deep into his pocket he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. "I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"

"Sure," said the farmer and with that he let out a whistle, "Here Dolly!" he called.

Out from the doghouse and down ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.

The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.

As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.

Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller.

Down the ramp it slid. Then in a awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up....

"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.

The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe.

Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands."

With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.

"How much?" asked the little boy.

"No charge," answered the farmer, "There's no charge for love."

MADDEN 2nd Straight Win The 10th Annual Iron Man Classic presented By Stanley Best Heat & Air was run on Saturday evening, August 16th, at Smoky Mountain Speedway.

After time trials had been run, it was Chris Madden of Gray Court, South Carolina, setting fast time for the 40 lap feature.

In the race, Madden, from the pole, took the lead at the start and opened up a sizable lead en route to the $15,000 victory.

Randy Weaver came on strong at the last, but the Crossville driver could not catch Madden and Weaver had to settle for 2nd. With Skip Arp 3rd, Ray Cook 4th, Tony Knowles 5th, Tommy Kerr 6th, and Vic Hill 7th.

In the Limited Late Model Feature, it was Cory Hedgecock taking the checkers with Drew Kennedy of Sunbright 2nd, Trevor Size 3rd, Billy Ogle 4th and Matt Henderson 5th.

In the Stock Feature, it was Jeff McLemore taking the checkers for another win with Brady Lee 2nd, Wesley 3rd and Robbie Buchanan 4th.

The next racing action is scheduled for Saturday evening September 20th, with the Southern All Stars coming to town. It will pay $15,000 to win. Also, it will be The Hall of Fame race, as the 2014 inductees will be introduced.

This class will consist of Scott Sexton, who became a force anywhere he ran at. Sexton passed away in 2013.

Billy Palmer of Hardin Valley had success at Atomic Speedway and Smoky Mountain in Late Models, and also the Open Wheel Modifieds.

Dewey Floyd had success in the Modified Street Division.

Jim Hunter was nominated in a new category, The Asphalt Division. Hunter won the pole For a NASCAR Grand National race in 1967, and posted two top 5 finishes at Smokey Mountains. Hunter passed away in 2010.

Bobby Denton, who announced and was the voice of the Vols, was also an Announcer at Smoky Mountain in the 70’s. Denton passed away earlier this year.

PIT NOTES:

Grief has no table of getting over. We all know that Tony Stewart is in grief and taking it day by day. Two families have been stricken by this tragedy, and I believe that it was not Tony’s fault.

Only God really knows and he will help Tony Stewart come back To NASCAR in time.

Get well Tony.

It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try and pass them.

An Unnamed Formula One Team The unnamed Formula One Team sacked its entire pit crew yesterday. The announcement followed their decision to take advantage of the UK Government's Youth Opportunity Scheme and employ Sandra L. Stout people from Liverpool.

Boy or Girl? 10 Gender-Predicting Old Wives' Tales Wondering if your little bundle of joy will be a boy or a girl? While the only accurate way to find out your baby's gender during pregnancy is from your doctor, playing the guessing game can be a lot of fun. Read on for some of the wackiest old wives' tales believed to predict the gender of your baby, and try some for yourself. And then tell us--were they right?

How Low Can You Go? Rumor has it that if you are carrying your baby high, it's a girl. Carrying low? Stock up on blue.

Similar tales say if you carry in front, you've got yourself a little boy, and if you expand horizontally, it's a girl.

Body Clues Legends say that if you are having a little girl, she'll steal your beauty. So, if you've got acne and other not-so-pretty skin blemishes, you've got a little princess coming your way.

Dry hands and cold feet are signs of a boy. So, if you've got these ailments, break out the baby blue.

It's All in the Ring Swing Here's a fun one— take off your wedding ring, tie it to a piece of string, and hang it over your belly. If it swings in a circle, you are promised a boy; back and forth indicates a girl.

The Old Drano Experiment This one is as old as it is weird. The mom-to-be is required to pee in a cup, and mix in a tablespoon of Drano. If the liquid turns green, you're having a girl. Blue? You guessed it. It's a boy.

We don't recommend trying this one. Mixing these two can result in dangerous fumes or, scary enough, an explosion. A safer version of this experiment uses baking soda. If the mixture fizzles, it's a boy. If it doesn't, you've got yourself a girl!

Be Still My Heart Your baby's heart rate might be an indicator of its gender. If your little one's heart rate is under 140 beats per minute, you're having a little boy. If it's over, get ready for your little girl!

Gimme that Chocolate!

Craving sweets? According to some, that means your going to have a little girl. Salty and sour cravings indicate a boy.

Age Isn't Just a Number Chinese birth charts use your age at conception and the month you conceived to determine the sex of your baby. Want to give it a shot? Try it!

The Mayans used a similar method. They looked at your age at conception and the year your baby was conceived. If both are even or odd, it's a girl. If one is even and one is odd, oh baby — it's a boy!

A Little Extra Padding Has your spouse been indulging in your pregnancy cravings, too? If your hubby packs on a little sympathy weight, the tales say you're in for a sugary-sweet little girl.

Morning Sickness Blues Actually, morning sickness means pink. If you're stricken with a queasy stomach during your first trimester, think ribbons and bows. If you sail through your pregnancy with nary an upset stomach, it's blue all the way.

Keying In If you've got a preggo friend, try this little experiment on her. Place a key in front of her and ask her to pick it up.

If she grabs it by the narrow part, she'll have a sweet little girl. If she picks it up by the round part, she'll have an adorable little boy.

So, all you moms-to-be — how many of these tests held true? Did they predict the gender of your little bundle of joy?

I'm not perfect. I have all kinds of problems. I have no ability. I have no gifts. I'm just not worthy. Why would God want me?

Well, did you know that...

Moses stuttered. David's armor didn't fit.

John Mark deserted Paul. Timothy had ulcers.

Hosea's wife was a prostitute.

Amos' only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.

Jacob was a liar. David had an affair.

Solomon was too rich. Jesus was too poor.

Abraham was too old. David was too young.

Peter was afraid of death. Lazarus was dead.

John was self-righteous. Naomi was a widow.

Paul was a persecutor of the church.

Moses was a murderer. Jonah ran from God's will.

Miriam was a gossip. Gideon and Thomas both doubted.

Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.

Elijah was burned out. John the Baptist was a loudmouth.

Martha was a worry-wart. Noah got drunk.

Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?

So did Peter, Paul - well, lots of folks did.

A motorist, after being bogged down in a muddy road, paid a passing farmer five dollars to pull him out with his tractor.

After he was back on dry ground he said to the farmer, "At those prices, I should think you would be pulling people out of Yes, I believe, I talked to him today! He says HE WILL NEVER, the mud night and day."

Then for the next 2 months during recovery, I could feel a tightness where HE was holding my hand. HE eased my pain, gave me a smile and people to witness to about his grace, love and goodness and healing power!

I had many nurses, doctors and therapist visit me saying they were amazed at how good I looked and was recovering; they expressed fear in seeing the patient behind the door with such extensive injuries. YES, GOD IS REAL AND JESUS IS ALIVE, for HES TALKED TO ME, held me in his arms, answered my prayers, and has healing in HIS WINGS ..

Five fascinating pets to own Chipmunks

Pet’s Page Jack’s New Horse

A pet chipmunk may not play fetch like Fido, but he can dazzle you with simple tricks or casually use you as a perch. Chipmunks are Jack strode into ‘John’s Stable’ not low-maintenance pets, but they make great companions. They looking to buy a horse. “Listen require human contact (especially when young), plenty of room, and here” said John, “I’ve got just the horse your looking for, the only a variety of foods, including seeds, fruits, and vegetables. thing is, he was trained by an Potbelly Pig interesting fellow. He doesn’t go Forget the myth about pigs being dirty and dumb. Potbelly pigs and stop the usual way. The way (PBPs) are intelligent, easy to train, affectionate, curious, playful, to get him to stop is to scream clean, odor-free, and non-allergenic. Their intelligence and quirky hey hey the way to get him to go personalities make them an interesting and loving addition to the is to scream Thank God. family. However, their curiosity sometimes leads them into mischief, and they may even be destructive. Make sure you do your research Jim nodded his head, “fine on caring for a potbelly pig before deciding to bring one into your with me, can I take him for a test run?” home.

Chinchilla Chinchillas are nocturnal creatures, but they make great pets because they are low maintenance, quiet, and odorless, with beautiful soft fur. They become quite tame when they are handled from a young age, and can form a bond with their owner. Chinchillas prefer warm temperatures, enjoy dust baths, and need a consistent feeding routine that includes pellets and good quality grass hay.

Being active and playful, they require a variety of toys to keep them busy, especially items for chewing.

Cockatiel Among the most popular pet birds, Cockatiel are attractive, friendly, playful, active, and capable of mimicking speech. They are easier to tame than many other parrot species, due to their small size. They specialize in whistling and can often be taught to whistle tunes. Cockatiel have a reputation for being gentle and docile birds, who enjoy being petted and held.

Insects and Spiders It may seem odd to keep insects or spiders as pets, but they are unique creatures that are fascinating to watch. They're also quiet, and require little room and attention. Hissing cockroaches and some tarantulas make the ultimate beginner insect pets because they are rather docile and lack serious weapons such as stingers and threatening venoms.

“Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.” ― Mark Twain

Jim was having the time of his life this horse sure could run he thought to himself. Jim was speeding down the dirt road when he suddenly saw a cliff up ahead “stop!” screamed Jim, but the horse kept on going. No matter how much he tried he could not remember the words to get it to stop. “yo yo” screamed Jim but the horse just kept on speeding ahead. It was 5 feet from the cliff when Jim suddenly remembered “hey hey” Jim screamed. The horse skidded to a halt just 1 inch from the cliff.

Jim could not believe his good fortune, he looked up to the sky, raise his hands in the air, breathed a deep sigh of relief and said with conviction “Thank God.”

doggie facts

A large breed dog’s resting heart beats between 60 and 100 times per minute, and a small dog breeds heart beats between 100-140.

Comparatively, a resting human heart beats 60-100 times per minute.

If your dog’s acting funny, get out the umbrella! According to a poll, 72% of dog owners believe their dog can detect when stormy weather is on the way.

It’s not a fever…A dog’s normal temperature is between 101 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit Americans love dogs! 62% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 72.9 million homes Move over Rover! 45% of dogs sleep in their owner’s bed.

Why are dogs’ noses so wet? Dogs’ noses secrete a thin layer of mucous that helps them absorb.

Yummy! Dogs have about 1,700 taste buds. Humans have approximately 9,000 and cats have around 473.

It’s not so black and white. It’s a myth that dogs only see in black and white. In fact, it’s believed that dogs see primarily in blue, greenish-yellow, yellow and various shades of gray.

Did you hear that? Sound frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).

Express yourself. Dogs’ ears are extremely expressive. There‘s more than a dozen separate muscles that control a dog’s ear movements.

Growing up. While the Chow Chow dogs are well known for their distinctive blue-black tongues, they’re actually born with pink tongues. They turn blue-black at 8-10 weeks of age.

Why do they do that? When dogs kick after going to the bathroom, they are using the scent glands on their paws to further mark their territory.

No, it’s not just to make themselves look adorable. Dogs curl up in a ball when they sleep due to an age-old instinct to keep themselves warm and protect their abdomen and vital organs from predators.

Breathe easy. In addition to sweating through their paw pads, dogs pant to cool themselves off. A panting dog can take 300-400 breaths (compared to his regular 30-40) with very little effort.
