pies like mom used to make and other lies

pies like mom used to make
that's how some commercial went
straight from the freezer to the oven and
BAM!
just like one's a kid again with a hot apple pie
homemade, fresh from the oven
whatever, are you kidding me? you've never taste my mom's pie
a butter substitute that still tastes like butter!
you've obviously never tasted real butter
look the stain is gone!
yeah that's amazing since you got the stain fighter on there within minutes of the incident
wow, I can't believe one paper towel cleaned that whole mess!
wow, i can't believe how much that paper towel excites you.
mmm, the juice is the best!
and it's only loaded with as much sugar as pop!
now that I've stayed this hotel, I never want to go home!
are you advertising for hotel california?!
my experience at this mega store changed my life: I can't believe what a new person I am!
you probably need to get out more,  maybe get a hobby?
too busy to prepare food--use our machine and it only takes minutes!
for thirteen low low easy payments of 39.95!
I can't believe that vacuum cleaner picked all that up!
yeah, it sucks.  it sucks big. great, now less time cleaning more time to cure cancer.

Why oh why must we consumers be treated as if we are dumb, fad following, easily manipulated sheep....

oh. wait.  we are.

Bigger Problems

I may not be okay but seriously there are far, far bigger problems in the world.   From the devastating earthquake in Haiti, to the tight Connecticut race for Kennedy's old Senate seat, to Health Care reform, to Paula Abdula not being a judge on American Idol this season...  Okay maybe the last one isn't that earth-shattering.  I might get lynched by a couple friends who watch it but I'll take my chances. Part of me is kicking myself for being so selfish and self centered lately.  Who cares if I'm depressed?  Or I don't feel like myself? There are families with loved ones serving in the military in dangerous places around the world.  There are kids and families on the streets, around the world and in the U.S. that don't know when they're next meal will be or how they will survive another cold winter night without shelter.  There are children who have no father or mother; they both died from AIDS, or cancer, or a drunk driver hit their car. How dare I s...

Always with the new beginnings

Wow. A lot can change in a couple months. My first year in Bible Study Fellowship is now over. It's weird. I'm sad to be losing my discussion group. They're a wonderful collage of women from whom I have learned much. They've made me laugh, they've touched my soul and shown me perspectives I could never truly imagine on my own. In another week and half, my ladies Bible study group on Wednesday, which I lovingly nickname my McDanell study, will be finishing up our current book called The Cycles of Victorious Living by Earl and Hazel Lee. It's a good book and I would recommend it. A little birdie called the church bulletin, informed me the Wednesday night group would study Hebrews next. I hope that is true--I'm ready for digging into a book of the Bible study. Lastly, my small group has started a new book. (Yes, I was in three Bible studies this winter. No, I'm probably not doing that again). The book is something Dave L. was reading and thought we'd...
