As a general rule, I don't do hospitals. Oh, I visit other people in hospitals, but I don't stay in them. God has blessed me with wonderful health over the years. But there was the time I had such an intense bout with the flu that I ended up badly dehydrated.
The doctor was concerned enough about me that he put me in the hospital for a short time, actually, to get me re- hydrated with intravenous fluids. Now I've got to tell you, I was not a happy camper when they told me they were going to admit me to the hospital.
Oh, I was nice on the outside, but inside I was going "Rrrrrr." That was until my sister-in-law reminded me of something that she said I had told her once or twice. (I hate it when my own words come back to haunt me.) She said, "Remember who you are and remember why you're here."
The longstanding advice to "sit up straight" has been turned on its head by a new study that suggests leaning back is a much better posture (but you'd still better listen to your Mom)...
Linda and Jill are having coffee when Linda notices that Jill seems troubled and asks her, "Is something bugging you? You look anxious." "Well, my boyfriend just lost all his money and life savings in the stock market," Jill explained. "Oh, that's too bad," Linda sympathized. "I'm sure you're feeling sorry for him." "Yeah, I am," Jill said. "He'll miss me."
1) My host thinks I'm an irritation, a bother, a pain. But he can't evict me, so here I will remain. Then one day I'm taken and ranked among my peers. Can you guess just what I am? Then you might call me dear.

4) High above the lowly earth, and yet I flourish for all I'm worth. I hang between the earth and sky, green or brown as the seasons pass by. As around me all the birds do fly, and just before winter, away go I. Tell me true, What Am I?
5) These fictitious names are all rearrangements of the names of famous people. For example, if Sheila O'Norton were on the list, you would discover that this is really Horatio Nelson in disguise.

Christians have long known that it is more important to be “correct” than “politically correct.” Christmas is about Christ, and that is “correct,” accurate and true to history and tradition. Santa Claus, reindeer, wreaths, Christmas trees are fine, but what it is all about is the birth of the Messiah. Christmas heralds the turning point in history...

But sometimes the crew would get beamed down to some unknown planet, only to be greeted by this horrific space creature...
During my first year in college I was convinced that a beginning ballet class was just what I needed to lighten a heavy course load. Nothing was less like calculus and chemistry than ballet. Little did I know, however, that my ballet professor would embody a militant will to snap "easy-A" seeking students in two with the Herculean strength of her well-trained legs. "Find your Sit-Bones!" she repeatedly thundered, pacing through even rows of frightened freshmen. MORE!!!
