A FEW GOOD WORDS

The accuracy of lie detector tests has never been completely decided upon. Although it is inadmissible as evidence in court, even the proponents of lie detector testing agree that it is not always accurate. Among the first lie detectors, considered by some to be the most accurate, was the donkey's tail! That's right, in ancient India, a suspect would be escorted to a darkened room.

Only three would be present: the accused, the interrogator, and a donkey. The person being questioned was told that the donkey would bray if his responses were not truthful, and he was then asked to hold the donkey's tail.

Forerunners of the modern-day lie detector include a portable unit, developed in 1930. As early as 1899, an Italian physiologist invented what is called the hydrosphygmograph, which simply recorded variations in pulse. Later came the galvanometer and the pneumanograph to measure electric conductivity of the skin and respiration. But none of these early devices was as tried and true and accurate as the donkey's tail!

Remember, the suspect is in a darkened room with a donkey. He was told to hold the tail of the donkey, and if a lie was told, the donkey would bray. But the suspect was not told that the donkey's tail was covered with black soot! So those who feared the donkey's telltale bray, in the darkness of the room dared not to touch the donkey's tail. They would emerge with clean hands… thus proven guilty!

Honesty is, always has been, and always will be, the best policy! It is priceless. Honesty paves the way for successful living. Honesty is a virtue. Ask yourself, "Have I been truthful in all things today. . .to my relationships. . .to myself? Have I been straightforward? Did I earn respect?"

Honesty takes plenty of courage, but the rewards are tremendous. Folks will say of you, "There is a person we can trust, one on whom we can depend to act fairly, justly, considerately. This individual is worthy of promotion and recognition." And all this without using the donkey's tail!

Maybe you won’t have to bundle up so much next Thursday. I read that your temps are supposed to warm up to around 32 by then. Heat wave! LOL

Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way.

A blessed Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord (Western)/Sunday after Theophany (Orthodox) to all!

[mylife]

No snow but mighty cold.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Did you manage to sleep in this morning after staying up so late?

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

I sure did. I didn’t get up till after 11am. LOL! I think the kitties thought I’d abandoned them. No one was waiting for food when I took it out. LOL!

Did it warm up a bit there?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Everyone completely recovered from covid? Healthy again?

Are you still avoiding snow?

We are supposed to start climbing about zero tomorrow and back into double digit temps, day AND night.

[radu]

Very good. I was afraid Peaches would decide you needed to wake up early. LOL

Yes, it was warmer today but there was a stiff wind that took the fun out of going outside. Tomorrow will be warmish again for a while but wet. Then the temps will drop during late afternoon and be cold again. At least the cold is SUPPOSED to move in AFTER the rain has moved through.

[luvie]

Nah, he looked at me like “are you getting up this early?” LOL! He always has food, so there is no reason to get me up. Unless he just HAS to go out, but then I go back to sleep.

Dang! If it’s not one thing it’s two others over there. Maybe one day you’ll get a nice, quiet sunshiny day that isn’t too hot. Tomorrow is supposed to be 20 degrees colder than today was for me. The roller coaster is aliiiiiive. LOL!

[radu]

Good boy, Peaches, letting Mommy sleep. LOL

We have some sunny days next week but they’ll be chilly. At least they won’t be frigid. We’re still riding the roller coaster too. Yesterday got up to 28, today was 54, tomorrow about the same, then 40s for a few days before we get a couple more low 50s. Then low 40s again.

[luvie]

Yeah, he knows mommy can be crabby when waked up too early. LOL!

Very similar to our temps except about 10 degrees colder all ‘round. I just want rain SO BAD! 5 months with nothing is becoming depressing.

[radu]

Our cats know Mommy can be VERY crabby if awakened so they don’t dare wake me up. LOL They, and Peaches, are pretty smart.

It sure would be nice if you could get some rain like the rest of us keep getting. Five months is way too long to go without any.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Sunday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[luvie]

Peaches is no dummy. Ginger...not so much. LOL!

It’s like we’ve fallen into a deep pit of dry. I’m frankly getting anxious that we’ll go a full year like we did in 2013.

Guess I’d better go for tonight. After my late night last night, I have some making up to do if I’m going to keep from doing some “head bonking” in the morning. See ya later tomorrow night!

[radu]

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Did Gizmo find more smelly spots to roll in yesterday? LOL He does love to do that.

[E.G.C.]

He sure does. Here are the pics from Comanche Lake yesterday.

Today is KFC pickup day. We plan on doing Comanche Lake again later today.

[radu]

We’ve had a few dummies in our “herd” over the years but one time flying off the bed smartens them up. LOL

Man oh man, I hope you don’t have another 2013. That would be awful!

Get some good sleep so you don’t nod off in church. :-) Catch ya tomorrow.

[radu]

It looks like y’all had a good time at Comanche Lake. I hope it’s as fun later today.
Enjoy your KFC dinner.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I see a happy dog and sunshine.

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Hope your knee is all good after your fall.

You guys have a good adventure at the lake today.

[left that other site]

We got about a foot of snow Friday morning, which ruined my whole day.

I must have shoveled out my car at least four times.

Grrrrr.
