In about thirty minutes I will be trying to install my new DSL. So if I can't find my way back here to post any more entries please know that I love each and every one of you. It has been a fun ride and I will be sad to see it end.
But connect the new device I must.
I am scared because I do not know what I am doing.
So I will say my final goodbyes
I love you all.
Barbara
It's Friday and it is time for what Robin calls"THE 5'er!"
If you want to play all you do is cut and paste these questions into her journal. (there is no deadline as to when you can do "The 5'er) When you have answered them come back and leave a link in her comment section. On the following Friday she will have a new set of questions! If she remembers LOL Have fun!
LET'S PLAY!!!
1. How do you like your pizza and who do you think has the best pizza?
I like pepperoni sausage mushroom pizza! I think around here the best is Pizza Hut. I do like to make Digournos here at home adding scripture ingredients from my refrigerator. What are scripture ingredients you ask? Seek and ye shall find.
2. How many journals do you have online and are any of them private?
I have two journals one is called Confessions Of An Angel Waitress...oh yeah you know that because you are here. And I have a private one that only I know about.....hm wonder what Barbara writes about in there!
3. Do you believe in heaven and if so what do you think it will be like?
Yes I do believe in Heaven because it is real. Heaven is a wonderful place. Filled with glory and grace. I'm gonna see my saviors ce! I see it as it is written with streets of gold and getting to see all the people that went before me. My sister and I will be together again. I will get to see my Grandma Harvengt, Gran and Papa. I will get to meet my uncle Robert! How cool is all that going to be!
4. Tell us about one of your bad habits.
I spend way too much time on the computer instead of cleaning the house, washing clothes and sleeping. Any questions?
5. Everyone likes a good deal. What was the last good deal you got? You know...like buy one get one free kind of thing.
I like the Combo Locos at my grocery store. You buy one things and get like 5 or 6 for free. Usually you have to buy the meat, but all the other things that make up a meal are free. This is also cool because you don't have to use your brain trying to decide what to cook for dinner.
Okay Robin there you go! I have missed these SOOOOOOOOOOOO much! Barbara

Which Do You Want To Hear?

"The present, let's hear it.
Okay Marla here you go:
The Present
When Eric was in second grade I was trying to think of a good April Fools Day joke for him because he was a smart kid and catching on to all his Mommas little pranks.
So I went to the store and had a professionally done gift wrapped. But before I let them decorate the empty box I put a small note in the bottom and added some weight to it using crumbled up paper and such.
When school was out for the day I went to pick Eric up. I had the present sitting on the seat when he got in the car.
The tag on the present read. Eric
Eric saw his gift and wanted to open it right away. I made him wait until we got home.
Then when we got home, he again wanted to open the present.
I made him clean his room first.
After he cleaned his room I let him open the present.
He was so excited and wanted to know why he got a present and it wasn't even his birthday. I told him that sometimes you get surprises in life when you least expect it.
He opened the box taking care not to mess up the beautiful ribbon that surrounded the box.
He opened it up and inside he found.....
a note that said APRIL FOOLS!!!! I LOVE YOU< MOM
He was not a happy camper.........in fact he was a mad camper.
What kind of present is empty with a stupid note like that?
I sat him down and explained to him that it was a joke.
He said he didn't think it was very funny.
I took him to Dairy Queen......
While we were there I explained to him that even when it seemed like something looked good on the outside it didn't always mean that it was good on the inside.
Life was full of surprises and sometimes they were good and sometimes they just made us mad.
But no matter what happened in his life Mom was always going to be there for him to say I love you.
I don't think he appreciated this lesson until he was on his own.
One day he called me after he had moved away to go to school. He said, "MOM I always knew you were smart, but I didn't realize how smart you were until I moved out on my own. I learned if I followed the lessons you taught me as a kid things seemed to work out for the good.
I said, You think I'm smart now.....just wait until you have your own kids...you will think I am a genuis!
He ended this phone call with. You know Mom I still remember my April Fools Day present and the lesson that you taught me that day.
I asked him if he was still angry about that with me.
He said, no Mom because you taught me at an early age that I could count on you through the good and the bad, and if all else fails....eat ice cream!
Well I am thinking "he got it!"
What do you think?
Before I begin I will say that my Daddy raised us three girls to always tell the truth.
The only exception to the rule was on April Fools Day.
But one important thing to remember is no matter who you trick...always and I repeat always remember to go back and say April Fools, because if you forget to do that part then you are LYING!
Okay, this is for Betty who wanted to know.
My Dad gets me with this one every year.
He calls as early as my Mom will let him and says:
Dad: Barbara there is a pink elephant in your yard.
Barbara: Oh my gosh Daddy really?
Dad: Yes, go look!
So I do and to this day I have not seen that pink elephant yet.
EVery year it is the same joke. One of these days there will be a pink elephant and he will be sorry!
Trying to trick a little girl.
Thanks Daddy for all the years you have made our holidays fun!
Daddy always made each and every holiday fun for us. He even made up reasons to give us cards and surprise us. The first day of school, and of course the real holidays were always filled with surprises.
My Daddy is an awesome Dad.
Barbara
P.S. I will be waiting for your phone call Daddy I am ready for you this year!

YOUR TURN
Extraordinary Uses: Partial List of Items
Adhesive Tape
Stop ants in their tracks<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Is an army of ants marching toward the cookie jar on your countertop or some sweet prize in your pantry? Create a "moat" around the object by surrounding it with adhesive tape placed sticky side up.
Clean a comb
To remove the gunk that builds up between the teeth of your comb, press a strip of adhesive tape along the comb's length, and lift it off. Then dip the comb in a solution of alcohol and water, or ammonia and water, to sanitize it. Let dry.
Alka Seltzer
Clean your coffeemaker
Fill your percolator or the water chamber of your drip coffeemaker with water and plop in four Alka-Seltzer tablets. When the Alka-Seltzer has dissolved, put the coffeemaker through a brew cycle to clean the tubes. Rinse the chamber out two or three times, then run a brew cycle with plain water before making coffee.
<?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" />Clean a vase
That stuck-on residue at the bottom of narrow-neck vases may seem impossible to scrub out, but you can easily bubble it away. Fill the vase halfway with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets. Wait until the fizzing stops, then rinse the vase clean. The same trick works for cleaning glass thermoses.
Clean glass cookware
Say so long to scouring those stubborn stains off your ovenproof glass cookware. Just fill the container with water, add up to six Alka-Seltzer tablets, and let it soak for an hour. The stains should easily scrub away.
Clean your toilet
The citric acid in Alka-Seltzer combined with its fizzing action is an effective toilet bowl cleaner. Simply drop a couple of tablets into the bowl and find something else to do for 20 minutes or so. When you return, a few swipes with a toilet brush will leave your bowl gleaming.
Clean jewelry
Drop your dull-looking jewelry in a glass of fizzing Alka-Seltzer for a couple of minutes. It will sparkle and shine when you pull it out.
Unclog a drain
Drain clogged again? Get almost instant relief: Drop a couple of Alka-Seltzer tablets down the opening, then pour in a cup of vinegar. Wait a few minutes and then run the hot water at full force to clear the clog. This is also a good way to eliminate kitchen drain odors.
Soothe insect bites
Mosquito or other insect bite driving you nuts? To ease the itch, drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets in half a glass of water. Dip a cotton ball in the glass and apply it to the bite. Caution: Don't do this if you are allergic to aspirin, which is a key ingredient in Alka-Seltzer.
Attract fish
All avid anglers know fish are attracted to bubbles. If you are using a hollow plastic tube jig on your line, just break off a piece of Alka-Seltzer and slip it into the tube. The jig will produce an enticing stream of bubbles as it sinks.
Aluminum Foil
Toast your own cheese sandwich
Next time you pack for a trip, include a couple of cheese sandwiches wrapped in aluminum foil. That way if you check into a hotel after the kitchen has closed, you won't have to resort to the cold, overpriced snacks in the mini-bar. Instead, use the hotel-room iron to press both sides of the wrapped sandwich and you'll have a tasty hot snack.
Sharpen your scissors
What can you do with those clean pieces of leftover foil you have hanging around? Use them to sharpen up your dull scissors! Smooth them out if necessary, and then fold the strips into several layers and start cutting. Seven or eight passes should do the trick. Pretty simple, huh?
Put some bite in your mulch
To keep hungry insects and slugs away from your cucumbers and other vegetables, mix strips of aluminum foil in with your garden mulch. As a bonus benefit, the foil will reflect light back up onto your plants
Keep bees away from beverages
You're about to relax in your backyard with a well-deserved glass of lemonade or soda pop. Suddenly bees start buzzing around your drink -- which they view as sweet nectar. Keep them away by tightly covering the top of your glass with aluminum foil. Poke a straw through it, and then enjoy your drink in peace.
Create a centerpiece
Here's how to make a quick centerpiece for your table: Secure a pillar candle or a few votive candles to an aluminum pie pan by melting some wax from the bottom of the candles onto the pan. Add a thin layer of water or sand, and put in several rose petals or seashells
Go check it out for yourself! Barbara
Okay Betty this is for you. The answer to your Monday morning question:
April Fools Day is my most favorite day of the year. Last year alone this is what I did.
I went to the post office to get my mail. And as I walked over to my mailbox I said in a loud voice."Eww gross!"
I walked over to the counter and told Ginger our mail person that next to my mailbox someone had thrown up. She got this disgusted look on her face and said, " Oh great!"
I said yeah you are going to need a mop and some kind of disinfectant because there is a big mess.
She sighed and said, "I am the only one that is here today so I guess I will have to be the one to clean it up."
I said, "yeah you better before someone falls down in it."
I said "it is pretty chunky, looks like whoever did it had beans and corn for lunch"
She started looking paler by the minute.
As I was leaving and she was headed for the cleaning supplys I replied over my shoulder...oh and Ginger...
She said, what?
I said April Fools!!!!! and ran out the door.
But I heard her exclaim as I closed the door to leave.
"OH Thank God!"
Want to hear another one?
barbara
I got over twenty people that day!
Here is Chef Eric cooking up a seafood meal for mom and Dad. Notice the smoke? Here we go again. There is flour in the red dish and milk in the pan. What's with the smoke?
Tiny hates baths and whenever Eric comes she knows he will not give in and will give her one. She would never bite Eric but she likes to scare him into thinking she could if pushed too much about soap and water.
Eric and I went for a walk in the woods. We came across what appears to be some dangerous activity. This is just one of the reasons I am glad Eric moved away to follow his dreams. Some of the kids here are bored and under supervised and they do this for a thrill. That is why we end up with so many idiot adults.
Nuff said.
Anyway Eric and I watched Saw 2 and went to finish up all the chores with getting the car on the road.
The gears wouldn't shift and we had to push it back and forth it seemed like one hundred times before we got it to go right. We went and got it inspected and then for a wash.
Pray for me that this car will behave and shift when I need it to. I am going to drive it until Rick fixes my Explorer.
I love when Eric comes to visit but hate seeing him go away. I am trying to remember all the fun I had while he was here and not to cry too much at him being gone away.
Thank you God for the most wonderful kid in the world.
The reason I love Eric so much is because with Eric I laugh, I am silly, I can just be me and he "gets me"
Thanks Robin for reminding me to savor the good times and let the tears fall where they may.
Until next time..... Barbara
gi
Eric came to visit me! We had so much fun! As you can see from the pictures I am not the only one that loves for Eric to visit.
He arrived Sunday night about 11:30pm and Tiny attacked him for about an hour before she settled down.
She loves her Eric as much as I do.
We went to sleep around 3:00am and woke up early the next day with a plan.
First we had to go get insurance on his/my car our 67 Buick Special so that I would have a car to drive. Then we had to go to another city about 40 miles away to get the tags renewed.
Along the way we ran into some really bad construction and were forced at times to crawl at around 10 mph.
I was so wishing I had brought my camera. There were some pretty cool things to take pictures of along the way.
After we went to get the tags we decided to swing back by home and pay the gas bill....only we didn't want to go back the same way and hit the construction again, so we went another way and got lost. LOL
We ended up downtown San Antonio. We had planned to go there later in day anyway and do some shopping. So we decided now was as good as later.
But........we were starving! So we went to the HUngry Farmer steakhouse and got two huge steaks with the works and had a great lunch.
Then we went shopping!!!!
I am not so good at this spending money thing. I am too practical. But I did get a new mouse for my computer!!!
We came home because it started to rain and decided to rent some movies.
We rented Saw 2...which is a great movie, 40 year old virgin funny but well if you have seen it let's just say it isn't one to invite the preacher over to watch. Family Reunion and something else...can't remember.
Then we went to my job and got grocerys. That is because I work at the grocery store/
We came home and made Coconut Shrimp with Erics special seasonings and sauce. Shrimp fried Mamas way. Then Eric made a vegetable dish with corn and jicama. It was all delicious!
Rick finally came in and we watched the 40 year old virgin movie. Rick went to sleep early and Eric and I stayed up and watched Family Reunion. I feel asleep and when I woke up Eric was already asleep, so since it was 5:00am I decided to go to bed.
To be continued in next entry........ Barbara

Will make it all worthwhile.
So here you go Miss Mosie
Here is my poem today
I am so excited
Eric is on his way!
Happy, Happy joy joy! Barbara
The lady in black walked over to me and said that there was a competiotion between all of the stores and the store who saved the most money being efficient with the bags and bagging properly would win a bonus.
Our store along with 5 others met the requirements.
So they put the names of all the employees at these 5 stores into a drawing.
Out of over 1,200 people my name was drawn and I and only me won.
So I recieved a check for a huge bonus and now I am in shock and not responsible for being a little silly.
I'd rather not say just how much, but I will say that the amount given to me was written with the taxes accounted for and I won the money free and clear.
It was well over 100 dollars.
I must say that I was very very very surprised.
I was just praying yesterday and talking to God about how I didn't know if I was going to be able to keep working there being as I was not making very much money.
I asked for his guidance on whether I should stay or go somewhere else.
I would say he gave me a definate stay answer.
I feel so shocked and blessed at the same time.
Of course when Rick found out he wanted to spend the money all on the house.
I think not since I already gave him my half of the income tax return.
Ready to go shopping Robin?
Woo Hoo.
Barbara
Aflack!
I just saved a ton on my car insurance. How about you?
LOL Barbara
Nothing because cakes do not talk..

And then the lady in black came over to me and...
I went into the room with him and there were employees from the store and a huge cake in the center of the table and a huge bouquet of red and white balloons.
And then.............
I went to work today as usual...keep reading
When I got there I knew that some high level people were going to be there...keep reading
At my break my manager came over to me and asked me if he could talk to me....keep reading

The entries for photo scavenger hunt #67 will be due Sunday, March 26, 2006 at 11:00 P.M. E.S.T.
Category: View from a Window (suggested by Linda over at Footprints in the Sand - thanks Linda)
I wonder if this is what they meant? Tiny was very cooperative with this photo shoot.
Okay...maybe I did mention something about going bye-bye. I will not be held responsible for my actions!
As I was thinking about this entry I looked out my kitchen window and saw a huge yellow bird. I mean like eagle huge! I ran to get my camera and the darn bird was flying away as I went to take a picture from the window.
Not to mention the fact that I waited by the window hoping it would fly back into view and my cereal got all soggy!
Now, you see the sacrifices I make for you guys?
I hope you appreciate the dedication I showed.
Barbara
You can play too! Go and visit Betty and she will tell you what to do!

I WASH my hands of all responsibility for this old-time soap opera:
“Let me hold your Palm, Olive.”
“Not on your Life, Buoy.”
“Well, I guess I’m out of Lux. But Ivory-formed.”
TWO TOURISTS were driving through Louisiana, and as they approached Natchitoches, they disagreed about how to pronounce the name of the town.
When they stopped for lunch, they asked the lady at the counter, “Before we order, you can settle a disagreement for us. Would you please pronounce where we are, very slowly?”
The lady leaned over the counter and said, “Burr-gerr Kinnng.”
THERE once was a lawyer named Bender,
Who worked as a public defender.
Since his limo bumped into a little Ford Pinto,
He’s referred to as defender Bender.
THERE once was a boy name of Daniel,
Who bought a brand-new cocker spaniel.
He didn’t know how to make it bowwow,
Because it didn’t come with a manual.
THERE once was a man from Peru,
Who found a small mouse in his stew.
Said the waiter, “Don’t shout, and wave it about.
For the rest will want one of them, too.”
IF YOU had 12 piñon nuts in one hand and 13 piñon nuts in the other hand, what would you have?
A difference of a piñon.
CUSTOMER: How much is that bird in the window?
Clerk: $5.
Customer: I’ll take it. Will you send me the bill?
Clerk: The bill comes with the bird.
YOU KNOW you live in the country when…
• Your closet consists of dress jeans for formal occasions and grungy jeans for everyday work.
• The main topic of conversation is which breed of bull to buy next season.
• You prefer the fragrance of fresh-baled hay to the most expensive brand ofperfume.
• You don’t have to buy fertilizer for your garden or flower beds.
• There’s more cattle medicine in your refrigerator than food.
• You get a tractor for Mother’s Day.
JOHN AND MARY, each 50 years old, had lived on the same farm since they were married 25 years ago. They never left the place except to go to town for supplies.
As they were celebrating their silver anniversary, a fairy appeared and told them she would grant them each one wish. Mary said, “I’ve always wanted to travel around the world.” The fairy waved her magic wand and immediately Mary had all the tickets in her hand for a trip around the world.
The fairy turned to John and asked him what his wish would be. He hesitated, then said shyly, “I’d like to have a woman 30 years younger than I am.”
The fairy again waved her magic wand, and John was 80 years old.
Can anyone way Corny? These are for you Mom!
Barbara
I think I just swallowed a bee! I left my soda outside and when I brought it in I took a big long drink.
I felt some thing solid in there when I swallowed it down.
Can bees stink your tummy?
I hope I'm not allergic!
Barbara~bee killer
I wonder if that bee is experiencing what Jonah did in the whale?
LOL
As of today, March the 21, 2006 I have to write that I MAY no longer be with aol. My phone bill was outrageious. Rick was having a cow and the phone people told me they could lower it if I went with DSL. Since I will be paying for my internet service through the phone now I will eventually have to drop my aol service.
This might mean that I will no longer be able to connect with aol.
First of all I am heartbroken.
All of the wonderful friends I have made here could be lost.
This is my current email address MastersBLynn@aol.com.
But hopefully I will be able to continiue with my interactions through your emails.
As soon as I get my new email address I will send it to all of you.
Do you value my friendship as much as I do yours?
If so please make sure that I have your email address and link to your journals.
I may not be able to leave comments on your actual entrys but I could email you one.
This is very important to me.
I do not want to lose you guys.
Please, please if you care at all for me send me your email and journal links.
I love you guys, Barbara
