Should Rosie O'Donnell replace Bob Barker (my previous post) on The Price Is Right this fall? Yes or no?

This blogger's coffee break, the Jim Bunch eats you know + A tribute to a couple of my heroes

Jim's Coffee Break
.

.

The Ingredients:

One cup of coffee, black and straight.

The cup? It's a Christmas present from my barber lady.

Pill bottle, for a pill at mid-morning,** 'eat with food.' [This stuff, Tricor, works on digestive juices.]

The snack, it's Jim's favorite, crackers and peanut butter. These are low fat, I prefer no fat. Why are they broken, and what happened to the corner and edge pieces? Go here (link) to see.

The mouse pad, well it looks geeky but my lap top doesn't use it when I'm doing this from my big chair recliner. Go here (link) to see,*** since I've switched to the immobilizer on my leg (go here [picture link] for that).








Goodbyes to the Heroes

To Bob Barker: This is his last day on his show, The Price Is Right. he has been hosting this TV game show since 1972, for 35 years. (link). Did you know he went to Drury College in Springfield, Missouri, on a basketball scholarship? (CBS link to Barker bio--I have a degree in economics too!)

To Ruth Bell Graham: She died yesterday at age 87. She will always be remembered as the "life partner" of famous evangelist, Billy Graham.(CBN News link to Mrs. Graham bio) In her own right, Mrs. Graham authored some very enlightening books. There were over 50 of them that she authored or co-authored. I quit counting, some were listed more than once, etc.(link)



Notes:
* Not used because I forgot what I wanted here
** I take three pills and three vitamins in the morning with a graham cracker; this one, a Tricor at mid-morning with a snack; three pills with noon meal; five secret ingredient pills at mid-day with a graham cracker; three more pills and another vitamin "C" with the evening meal; an aspirin at least a half hour before bedtime; and two more pills at bedtime.
*** Notice in this picture I did use a mouse and this mouse pad with the lap top. It works just as good in the recliner using the arm of the chair (protecter piece in place) without the mouse pad.

Mrs. Jim and I were pleasantly surprised by this nice, but different state welcome center.

It had a nice little museum upstairs. If you haven't seen a bale of cotton, this is what one looks like.

The help there were very friendly. They helped us find a nice catfish restaurant on up the road.

Mississippi Welcome Centers: http://www.visitmississippi.org/welcome/washington.asp
.
The Washington County Welcome Center was a project created by the City of Greenville to participate in the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans. The project was to resemble a nineteenth century steamboat. The city then proposed to use the exhibit as a tourist information center after the World’s Fair was over. The steamboat replica was taken apart and brought back to Greenville to serve as a tourist center in 1985. The replica now sits in eighteen inches of water and is visited by tourists across the country. The steamboat replica is located at Highway 82 West and Reed Road. The staff welcomes tourist to visit daily.

Resist the devil

.
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 *
.
.
.
*
7. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
.
James 4:7-10 (NIV) *(link)
