Drug companies and docs push that crap Lyrica despite 50% can’t take it because of the bad side effects. Or they want to give you anti-depressants which fog the mind. Fibro has it’s own ‘brain fog’ and doesn’t need a drug doing more fogging. Sleeping pills are dangerous if taken often again something else to become dependent on. Pain pills mean getting dependent on them and needing more and more..then comes the intestinal side effects from them.

Believe me I’ve tried it all and the best relief I’ve had is from the decades old Valium and (as needed) 8 hr tylenol. I’ve been on it for about 16 months and NO side effects.

For All The Cat~People Of Amy's Place



Cozy Frigid Friday Differences Haiku




My new friend is an
Odd looking Kitten who romps
And plays clumsily

He doesn't like to
Sit still. I guess he's just tired
Panting all the time

Talks very loud too
Always wants to chase a ball.
Quiet is better!

Doesn't like to climb
He can run very fast, though.
Not much on Stopping

My new friend is just
Not right! Laziest Puppy
I have ever seen!

When she wants to play
It's more like sneaking up and
Attacking her Prey!

She stays away from
Water too! But she's always
Licking herself clean!

She likes to leap and
Climb when we play. Like a spring.
Makes it look easy!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Support Our Troops

“The battle
The Biblical account describes the Israelites being lead by Joshua and crossing the Jordan into Canaan where they laid siege to the city of Jericho.
There God spoke to Joshua telling him to march around the city once every day for six days with the seven priests carrying ram's horns in front of the ark.

On the seventh day they were to march around the city seven times and the priests were to blow their ram's horns. This Joshua did, and he commanded his people not to give a war-cry until he told them to do so. On the seventh day, after marching around the city the seventh time, the priests sounded their ram's horns, and Joshua ordered the people to shout.

The walls of the city collapsed, and the Israelites were able to charge straight into the city. The city was completely destroyed, and every man, woman, and child in it was killed. Only Rahab and her family were spared, because she had hidden the two spies sent by Joshua. After this Joshua burned the remains of the city and cursed any man who would rebuild the city of Jericho would do so at the cost of his firstborn son.

Joshua 6:1-27

Amazing how the LORD has demonstrated that when He is obeyed, He causes amazing miracles to occur. Things may or may not make sense to man; however, faith and trust, plus obedience is the path to walk.

We continue to believe we are the ones to make the decisions that are best... the right decision is to do all things the LORD'S way.

When we choose to go our own way .... It is wicked in the eyes of God.

When we do not obey as we are told we despise/hate God. (how strong is that?)
Most of us do not believe that is what we are saying by our actions, unfortunately it is not what we believe but what God has instructed us to do and be that is supreme.

Luke 10:16 (King James Version)

16.He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

Matthew 11:20-24 KJV
“...

20. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

21. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22. But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

23. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

24. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
