I've been blogging about my vegetable garden in my other blog. I planted some vegetables in our backyard and I've been busy weeding my garden these past few days. I water them too everyday. I've been looking at my collard greens and it looks like they're ready for harvest now. They grew quick when it rained the past few days. I'm planning to harvest some tomorrow and cook it for our meal. All my vegetables are organic. I don't use insecticides, pesticides or fertilizers. I'm afraid of the bad effects it may caused in or health so I'm an organic gardener. Take a look of my collard greens.

WARNING: Perfume Or Cologne
Posted by Lisa at Tuesday, July 08, 2008I received this in my e-mail and I thought of posting it here to let my readers know about this modus-operandi that's happening out there.
This was written by a guy from KVLY-TV in Fargo; see bottom of message. This is true. Scary!
This is something that happened to us on the way back from vacation last week. At first I didn't think much of it until now. The reason we were a little suspicious is we had been riding in a jeep all day with 100 degree temps and we stopped at a truck stop for something to drink.
When I was leaving, a young girl followed me out and asked what kind of cologne I was wearing. Well, after 7 hours in the car sweating, I don't think you could tell if I was or was not wearing any cologne. We just got in the jeep and said no thanks.
Then it was about 3 weeks ago, I was at a service station in Birmingham getting gas. It was about 9:30 pm. I was approached by 2 men and 2 women in a car. The man that was driving asked me 'What kind of perfume do you wear?' I was a bit confused and I asked him 'Why?' He said, 'We are selling some name brand perfumes, at cheap prices.' I said I had no money. He then reached out of the car and handed me paper that was laminated; it had many perfumes on it. I looked quickly at it and gave it back. I said, have no money.
He said it is OK, we take check, cash, or credit cards. Then the people in the car began to laugh. I just got in my car and said no thanks.
Then I received this e-mail yesterday and it sent chills up my spine. Please read this. It is no joke.
Dear Friends:
I know not all of you are women that I am sending this to, but am hoping you will share this with your wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, etc. Our world seems to be getting crazier by the day. Pipe bombs in mail boxes and sickos in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was approached yesterday afternoon around 5:30 PM in the Wal-Mart parking lot by two males asking what kind of perfume I was wearing. Then they asked if I'd like to sample some fabulous scent they were willing to sell me at very reasonable rate. I probably would have agreed had I not received an e-mail warning of a 'Wanna smell this neat perfume?' The men continued to stand between parked cars, I guess to wait for someone else to hit on. I stopped a lady going towards them, pointing at them and told her about how I was sent an e-mail at work about someone walking up to you in the malls or in parking lots and asking you to SNIFF PERFUME that they are selling at a cheap price or at least compare to which one you like best.
THIS IS NOT PERFUME...IT IS ETHER!
When you sniff it, you will pass out. They'll take your wallet, your Valuables and heaven knows what else. If it were not for this e-mail, I probably would have sniffed the 'perfume' but thanks to the generosity of an e-mailing friend, I was spared whatever might have happened to me. I wanted to do the same for you.
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS AND PLEASE BE ALERT- MOREOVER, BE AWARE.
IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS, PASS IT ON TO YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS
Ladies, this happened to me yesterday and I didn't smell the perfume either, thanks to this email This is true. Believe me, I know.
I was over by Big Lots in the parking lot at lunch time when I was approached. So either day or night, it does not matter. There were 3 guys together when I was approached. I called the police when I got back to my desk.

Froggy
Posted by Lisa at Monday, July 07, 2008"F R O G" we all need one.
I was told a story about a lady in the hospital who was near death when an area Chaplain came to visit her. This Chaplain was a very young female with long blond hair. She listened to the lady who was ill and left her a small gift for comfort It was a tiny ceramic frog. The next day one of the people from the lady's church came to visit. The lady told her friend about the beautiful young Chaplain who had come to visit her The friend was so impressed with the way the lady had improved and felt the need to talk to the young Chaplain. In her search to find the young gal, she was repeatedly reassured that the chaplains are never very young and that there was never a gal that fit the description given.
Upon returning to the lady in the hospital, a visiting nurse entered the room and noticed the ceramic frog. The nurse made the comment "I see you have a guardian angel with you." As she held the little frog. We asked why she made the comment and we were informed that the frog stood for:
(F) Forever ( R) Rely (O) On (G) God

Watch Out For Glenn Beck's Summer Political Tour
Posted by Lisa at Friday, July 04, 2008If you're fond of watching a one-man show, you'll probably enjoy watching Glenn Beck. And who is he, you might ask. Glenn Beck is an American radio/television host, conservative political commentator, and entrepreneur. He has his self-titled television show. He also stars in a one-man stage show which tours the United States twice a year and this summer, he will be having a comedy tour. I've watched some of his videos and he is really good in doing his political satire comedy. He talks fast and he has the guts to talk about top politicians and current events. This man is really talented because doing a one-man show live is not that easy. I'm pretty sure you will enjoy his political jokester so watch out for his show. His Summer Political Tour and the Dallas show will be on July 17th and will be broadcasted live via FathomEvents to select movie theaters nationwide on that date. Don't miss out.

Cowboy Boots
Posted by Lisa at Tuesday, July 01, 2008(Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this one!)
Did you hear about the Texas teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots?
He asked for help and she could see why.
Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on. By the time they got the second boot on, she had worked up a sweat.
She almost cried when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet."
She looked, and sure enough, they were.
It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the right feet.
He then announced, "....These aren't my boots."
She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, "Why didn't you say so?", like she wanted to. Once again, she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet. No sooner had they gotten the boots off when he said,
"They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear 'em."
Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But, she mustered up what grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again.
Helping him into his coat, she asked, "....Now, where are your mittens?"
He said, "I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots."
She will be eligible for parole in three years.
Thickening Shampoo
Posted by Lisa at Tuesday, July 01, 2008My falling hair has always been my problem. Everytime I shower and then I comb my hair, a lot of my hair fell out. I already tried different kinds of shampoo to remedy my falling hair but to no avail. My hair is thinning as a result of the falling hair. It must be my day when I stumbled on this website that sells Bumble and bumble Thickening Shampoo and Bumble and bumble Thickening Conditioner. Bumble and bumble Thickening Shampoo is a volumizing shampoo that gives hair fullness. Unlike other thickening shampoos, Bumble and bumble Thickening Shampoo helps seal your split ends and control flyaways. Formulated with panthenol, wheat protein and aloe, Bumble and bumble Thickening Shampoo adds body to fine hair. This product is the wonder-drug of shampoos. It makes fine hair look and feel fuller, moisturizes, and helps seal split ends and smooth flyaway's. Panthenol, Wheat Protein and Aloe Vera Gel moisturize, soften, and add volume and shine. Bumble and bumble Thickening Conditioner is a volumizing conditioner that leaves your hair light, hydrated and detangled. Formulated with ultra light silk fibers, Bumble and bumble Thickening Conditioner separates your hair strands to give limp, fine hair a fuller appearance. Both products are for all hair types and they both work well together. You can purchase the Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner Combo at mybumbleandbumble.com.
