   It was decided in 336 to celebrate Christmas on Dec 25. No one knows exactly when Jesus was born. But it most likely wasn’t during the winter – it’s too cold for shepherds to be out in the fields with the flocks – that happens during lambing season in the spring. So Dec 25 was picked mostly because others were already partying and Christians couldn’t stand it that there were parties they weren’t invited to, so they took the date, said ‘Jesus is the reason for the season’ in an attempt to invalidate these other parties.Happy Solstice to all!

   Well, our population is pretty much armed to the teeth. All it will take is some terminal people who have nothing left to lose to decide they want some company on their journey.

   I had all 4 wisdom teeth out when I was 16 along with 4 other permanent teeth in the 1970’s. I had no room in my mouth for all of them and this was before expanders had been invented. The oral surgeon had just finished with a prior patient when he came out to talk with my mom and me (this was in his office, not a hospital) – he wore a butchers apron and he was covered in blood. They put me to sleep to extract them. Most of them shattered (though my mom did save some for the tooth fairy). I had a bruise on my jaw from the surgeons thumb holding tight while he pulled. There was pain medication for afterward, and I was eating pizza 3 days later.

   My favorite color is blue but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve added a certain green (not yellow green, but more of a forest green) and purple to my favorites list.

   We quickly learned to never complain about boredom because Mom would find us several chores to do. We got good at creating games with whatever we had on hand.

   April is pre-school age and ready to learn how to behave in public. Not every kid that age can handle it. Most kids that behave badly in public simply have parents that won’t say no to them or teach them any manners. In our family kids went everywhere. Weddings, funerals, restaurants, movies, etc – but if they acted up, parents would tell them to knock it off or the kid would get a whack on the behind, sometimes from more than one relative. Fortunately the warning was usually sufficient because we kids knew our parents meant what they said and they would follow through if we didn’t listen.

   Consultants aren’t hired to come up with new ideas. They are hired to back up what has already been decided. If it works, upper management takes the credit, gets a pat on the back and get bonuses. If it doesn’t work, the consultant gets the blame (they still got paid) and management gets bonuses.

    I met my future husband when he was 14 and I was 17. We needed to grow up first. We married 10 years later. I had options. Several guys wanted to marry me. I had one guy who’s mom wanted me for a daughter in law, but it didn’t work out. We still exchanged Christmas cards for years until she passed away. Love my husband. We’ve been married 35 years, but I still enjoyed having several boyfriends in high school and college.
