I saw at Dawn’s and Bet’s that March is National Craft Month. I should let that inspire me to actually DO some crafting instead of just dreaming and wishing! One of the things I need to do today is just to sit down and have a planing session for the next few weeks, especially for our Ladies’ Luncheon at the end of next month. Maybe I’ll look over my craft things then, too. According to Dawn it is also National Frozen Food month (now that I can celebrate in style!), National Nutrition Month, and National Umbrella Month.

• I see humorous posts sometimes about weird search engine terms that have led to one’s blog. Most of the ones that I see on mine make sense, but this one the other day threw me for a loop: “how to put classic clothing together.” I don’t think I have ever written about that….because I don’t know anything about that!! I’d be curious as to what post came up with that search!

• WordPress employs Akismet as a spam filter, and it does an excellent job. Just every now and then, though, a legitimate comment gets caught in the spam folder, so from time to time I take a quick look in there to rescue any of those. I say a quick look, a very quick look, because most of what is in there is vile (don’t people have better things to do with their time?) A great number of them want to advertise products to enlarge body parts I don’t have to abnormal proportions. I don’t appreciate those or the ones who want to advertise any products through my comment section. But some amuse me by trying to grab my attention by either effusive praise or by baiting. One frequent spammer whose address seems to have to do with various home and garden products (does he not know I can see his ISP address for all his variations?) started out with nice comments but now is trying to raise my ire with comments like, “What if i say that you where wrong and you need to do your research better, would you belief me?” No, I wouldn’t “belief” you, but a better grasp of English would help. 🙂

• One of the cutest posts ever: Medical case study: Big Blue Ted at disdressed.

• Terry at Ornaments of Grace has an excellent post titled “Freed to Love…Me?“

• I don’t write much about politics here, but I have been greatly dismayed with the election process so far. One reason Obama scares me is his stance on abortion.

But Hillary scares me, too. Yet I am not thrilled with McCain, either. I was so surprised when he took SC. Everyone I knew personally or heard on the local news was for Thompson, Huckabee, or Romney. Maybe that was the problem — the conservative vote was too fragmented.

But I found an interesting post at a new blog to me, Findings. I found this blog via Semicolon‘s Saturday Review of Books, and I love the writer’s style in her reviews. I was delighted to discover that she is also a conservative Christian, and I thought her post about the quest for political power quite insightful in Gandalf for President, though I am not as disappointed in Bush’s administration as she is.

• One last note: many of you know that Susanne at Living to tell the Story broke her hand last week and is having pins put in it today. She runs a daycare from her home, so not only dealing with pain and recovery, she’ll be dealing with a loss of income and all her parents will have to make other arrangements, hopefully not permanently. I know she would appreciate prayer as would Barb for her daughter having a C-section today.

Have a great day!
