Snowman......No Snow Woman!

The Worlds Largest Snowman, or well should I say Snow Woman!


""BETHEL, MAINE – The good people of Bethel have officially broken the world record for the largest snowman, previously held by them, by 9 feet. Angus, King of the Mountain was replaced in the record books by a woman named Olympia SnowWoman who weighs in at 13,000,000 lbs. of snow. 5 foot wreaths were used for eyes, 16 skis for eyelashes, 130 ft. scarf, 30 ft. spruce trees for arms and 2,000 ft. of rope for hair.


It was a whole community effort with even the local kids pitching in. Elementary school children made the "carrot" nose made of muslin, chicken wire & wood frame. The Mt. Valley Middle School in Mexico (Mexico, Maine, that is) students painted a 48 ft. circumference fleece hat. And the Mahoosuc Kids Association painted 5 red auto tires that are used for lips. ""

Kings worth playing

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history:
King of Spades = David (from the bible)
King of Clubs = Alexander the Great
King of Hearts = Charles (presumably after Charlemagne)
King of Diamonds = Caesar (presumably after Julius Caesar)


""In the standard English playing card deck, the king and the other face cards represent no one in particular (though the king of hearts is sometimes referred to as the "suicide king" due to the fact that he appears to be sticking his sword into his head). However, the court cards in a French deck do have names. Because the manufacture of playing cards was illegal in the UK during the Interregnum, when the English Restoration came and the court began playing card games, the suits in an English deck came from the French deck, but without all of the lore.

For a period, starting in the 15th century, French playing-card manufacturers assigned to each of the court cards names taken from history or mythology. This practice had largely disappeared by the 19th century.^[1] The most common names for the kings were:^[2]

• King of Spades: David (a biblical king)
• King of Hearts: Charles (presumably after Charlemagne)
• King of Diamonds: Caesar (presumably after Julius Caesar, dictator of the Roman Republic)
• King of Clubs: Alexander (king of Macedon) "" ( insert from wiki)

Sometimes I feel like a Nut

Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty years of age.
Although some produce at 20-30 years but 50 is the average and by 70-80 years they will produce thousands!

Dwight Schrute: Women are like wolves. If you want a wolf, you have to trap it. You have to snare it. And then you have to tame it. Keep it happy. Care for it. Feed it. Lovingly, the way an animal deserves to be loved. And my animal deserves a lot of loving.

Michael Scott: You may look around, and see two groups here. White collar, blue collar. But I don't see it that way. You know why not? Because I am collar-blind.

Open my eyes

Today I share a poem with you :) it was in book of poems that I did not write but I liked it and would like to share it with everyone.

Open my eyes

God, open my eyes

so I may see
And feel Your presence
close to me...
Give me strength
for my stumbling feet

As I battle the crowd
on life's busy street,
And widen the vision
of my unseeing eyes
So in passing faces
I'll recognize
Not just a stranger,
unloved and unknown,
But a friend with a heart
that is much like my own...
Give me preception
to make me aware
That scattered profusely
on life's thoroughfare
Are the best gifts of God
that we daily pass by
As we look at the world
with an unseeing eye.

Raisin's they are alive!

A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.

The Fluffy Stuff

The other night I was playing on ISketch.net and I got the word CandyFloss... well I had no idea that was the same thing as Cotton Candy! Cotton candy is also known as CandyFloss, Fairy Floss, Old woman's hair, Doll's hair, Papa's beard and few other names...

The most popular color of cotton candy is pink, though any color can be made. (I like Blue )



There is something about Cotton Candy that makes me think of Clouds... and if I was to eat the clouds that is how they would taste... I know its not logicial but a girl can dream right?

lightning bugs & FireFlys

I Remeber Catching "lighting bugs" when I was a little kid...in the summer time in my back yard...I remeber watching them in jar in my bedroom light up I thought it was kool and then next day release them.

Do you wonder where fireflies got their internal light? Fireflies actually contain the so-called Luciferin. This substance when combined with oxygen will enable them to produce light. This process is called bioluminescence and they light up to attract the mate. Same is true with angler fish which also produces light, but they use it to catch the prey.

Cat litter isnt just for cats poop

Other uses for Cat Litter

Sneaker deodorizer
If your athletic shoes reek, fill a couple of old socks with scented cat litter, tie them shut, and place them in the sneakers overnight. Repeat if necessary until the sneakers are stink-free.


Add traction on ice
Keep a bag of cat litter in the trunk of your car. Use it to add traction when you're stuck in ice or snow.


Prevent grease fires
Don't let a grease fire spoil your next barbecue. Pour a layer of cat litter into the bottom of your grill for worry-free outdoor cooking.


Get rid of that musty smell when you open the closet door. Just place a shallow box filled with cat litter in each musty closet or room. Cat litter works great as a deodorant.


Preserve flowers
The fragrance and beauty of freshly cut flowers is such a fleeting thing. You can't save the smell, but you can preserve their beauty by drying your flowers on a bed of cat litter in an airtight container for 7-10 days.


Remove foul stench
Just because your garbage cans hold garbage doesn't mean they have to smell disgusting. Sprinkle some cat litter into the bottom of garbage cans to keep them smelling fresh. Change the litter after a week or so or when it becomes damp. If you have a baby in the house, use cat litter the same way to freshen diaper pails.


Keep tents must-free
Keep tents and sleeping bags fresh smelling and free of must when not in use. Pour cat litter into an old sock, tie the end, and store inside the bag or tent.


Repel moles
Moles may hate the smell of soiled cat litter even more than you do. Pour some down their tunnels to send them scurrying to find new homes.


Make grease spots disappears
Get rid of ugly grease and oil spots in your driveway or on your garage floor. Simply cover them with cat litter. If the spots are fresh, the litter will soak up most of the oil right away. To remove old stains, pour some paint thinner on the stain before tossing on the cat litter. Wait 12 hours and then sweep clean.

A diamond is the hardest natural substance on earth

A diamond is 58 times harder than the next hardest mineral on earth, corundum, from which rubies and sapphires are formed.

A green diamond is the rarest. It is not the rarest gemstone, however. That title goes to a pure red ruby.

Bold as a lion

The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1
