I believe you have to get on an elephant before you can fall off, I’ve never done that.
2 - I once baked some sugar free cookies with bits of wax paper sliced into the mix, and fed one to the hospital dietitian.
I was the Baker’s Assistant at Denver General Hospital f or two years 1955 to 1957. It was April Fool’s day so I kept six cookies worth of the sugar free batch aside, sliced wax paper into them, baked them then set them out as samples. The Dietitian bit, she ate a whole cookie.

2. I was once parked in an enclosed bank parking lot (after that) and a car was running and the fumes were about to get to my DMIL who had waited there while I had gone inside, so I was in a hurry to get away and out into the fresh air...so I backed out quickly and dented the car that was left running. I thought to myself, "Huh! You got a dent!" and drove on out.

Let’s play “Get Real” Bloggers!
The rules are simple. Write down two unusual facts about yourself, one fact has to be real. We’ll let the blogging neighborhood try to guess today, tomorrow and Sunday, which one is real and why they think it is. Monday each blogger will reveal their real fact.
Two unusual facts about myself are -
1 - I once fell off of an elephant.
2 - I once baked some sugar free cookies with bits of wax paper sliced into the mix, and fed one to the hospital dietitian.
Ok, blogger friends, you’re up to bat!

Rub sleepy time eyes!
Throw your cover,
Plant bare feet right next to bed of dreams.
Squiggle into pull-ups
Saddle bare feet and scramble for eggs.
(Or is that scramble four eggs?)
Eat healthy.
Ride tooth brush all the way to glistening.
Honor gravity pull, until mirror smiles at you!
Do about face with a warm damp cloth,
Lose thyself in morning devotions.
Amen!
Get on the ball and check goals.

Nap!
Squeeze catch up onto whatever got sandwiched.
Catch up might get messy and want to run, run with it.
Accept your own invitation to take a break
Light a candle.
Enjoy leisurely dinner
Rest before you get tired.
Go undercover for beauty rest!
Rub sleepy time eyes!

We're used to buying food in a packaged amount.
But, please rest assured, they’ve reduced that whole count.
So, what can we expect, taking its place?
Why, we’re spending our money, on more outer space.

Most product is good and it’s fairly easy to fix it,
The additional space isn’t required to mix it.
That space usually escapes soon's the glue's all been popped,
And leeches onto our space, it cannot be stopped.

We empty all contents, a tiny pile in a pan,
“To make this food last, I’ll have to eat s l o w as I can.”
So, I spent all my budget, on one bite of fine food,
"Please recycle the rest",‘s supposed to make me feel good?

How many dollars are in a gallon after gallon after gallon? That‘s the curiosity question alive right now in most of the Mennonite Churches in this area. The Mennonite Central Committee Relief Sale is in Hutchinson KS ( http://kansas.mccsale.org/moreinfo.html ) this coming Friday eve and most of the day Saturday, where these individual church collection efforts will be dumped into the large “Penny Challenge” stock tank and will keep coin sorters and counting machines busy continuously throughout the sale.
My son invited me to help think about making a hand crank coin sorter/counter to set up in the church next year to accommodate the “Penny Challenge” coin collection.
Total coin weight goals for the congregation have been used in the past and successfully accomplished. Next year we want to set a total dollar amount goal and display a continuous coin value, accumulation total, with our homemade coin sorter. The only three requirements for design so far are - 1 - Hand crank powered, no electronics required. 2 - A one gallon coin dump capacity each time. (One Sunday mornings collection) 3 - Each see through, coin catch tube will be marked in dollar value increments. At first glance you will be able to read the dollar value or portion thereof, by the height of the stack of coins in each coin denomination tube. Any help with ideas for this project out there? I would really like to acquire a Hyperbolic Coin Collection Funnel to set in the church on Sunday mornings and in other people infested places occasionally throughout the week for MCC Penny Challenge, but can’t afford to purchase one. Following could be an opportunity for involvement if so led. http://www.spiralwishingwells.com/sponsorships/index.html
