Food for though...


There was a blind girl who hated herself Just because she was blind.She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her.She said that if she could only see the world,She would marry her boyfriend.One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. She was then able to see everything,Including her boyfriend.Her boyfriend asked her," Now that you can see the world,Will you marry me?"The girl was shocked when she sawThat her boyfriend was blind.She then refused to marry him.Her boyfriend walked away in tearsAnd later wrote a letter to her saying:"Just take care of my eyes dear,For I loved you so muchThat it was I who was the donor of your gift."This is how the human brain changesWhen our status changes.Only few remember what life was before,And who's always been thereEven in the most painful situations.

Life Is A Gift

Today before you say an unkind word -Think of someone who can't speak.Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GODFor a companion.Today before you complain about life -Think of someone who went too early to heaven.Before you complain about your children -Think of someone who desires childrenBut they're barren.Before you argue about your dirty houseSomeone didn't clean or sweep -Think of the people who are living in the streets.Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.And when you are tiredAnd complain about your job -Think of the unemployed, the disabled,And those who wish they had your job.But before you think of pointing the fingerOr condemning another -Remember that not one of us are without sinAnd we all answer to one MAKER.And when depressing thoughtsSeem to get you down -Put a smile on your faceAnd thank GOD you're alive and still around.Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it,And Fulfill it.

And in Animal News....


According to http://www.yahoo.com/
BANGKOK (AFP) – Scientists have discovered more than 1,000 species in Southeast Asia's Greater Mekong region in the past decade, including a spider as big as a dinner plate, the World Wildlife Fund said Monday.
A rat thought to have become extinct 11 million years ago and a cyanide-laced, shocking pink millipede were among creatures found in what the group called a "biological treasure trove".
The species were all found in the rainforests and wetlands along the Mekong River, which flows through Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and the southern Chinese province of Yunnan.
"It doesn't get any better than this," Stuart Chapman, director of WWF's Greater Mekong Programme, was quoted as saying in a statement by the group.
"We thought discoveries of this scale were confined to the history books."
The WWF report, "First Contact in the Greater Mekong", said that "between 1997 and 2007, at least 1,068 have been officially described by science as being newly discovered species."
These included the world's largest huntsman spider, with a leg span of 30 centimetres (11.8 inches), and the "startlingly" coloured "dragon millipede", which produces the deadly compound cyanide.
Not all species were found hiding in remote jungles -- the Laotian rock rat, which the study said was thought to be extinct about 11 million years ago, was first encountered by scientists in a local food market in 2005, it said.
One species of pitviper was first noted by scientists after it was found in the rafters of a restaurant at the headquarters of Thailand's Khao Yai national park in 2001.
"This region is like what I read about as a child in the stories of Charles Darwin," said Dr Thomas Ziegler, curator at the Cologne Zoo, who was involved in the research.
"It is a great feeling being in an unexplored area and to document its biodiversity for the first time both enigmatic and beautiful," he said.
The new species highlighted in the report include 519 plants, 279 fish, 88 frogs, 88 spiders, 46 lizards, 22 snakes, 15 mammals, four birds, four turtles, two salamanders and a toad -- an average of two previously undiscovered species a week for the past 10 years.
The report warned, however, that many of the species could be at risk from development, and called for a cross-border agreement between the countries in the Greater Mekong area to protect it.

Prop 8 was passed...and now the Gay community is made a 2nd class citizen!

This article brings up a very good point...at one point in history minorities weren't allowed to exercise all the same rights as "whites" could...so now 40 years later America is doing the same thing to people and basing it on not their race but their sexual orientation? WTF?! so I can have sex with someone I love, I can express my love but I can't MARRY them just because some of you don't agree on it? What happened to "separation of Church and State"??

"It is true that the literal phrase 'separation of church and state' does not appear in the Constitution, but that does not mean the concept isn't there. The First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...."
What does that mean? A little history is helpful: In an 1802 letter to the Danbury (Conn.) Baptist Association, Thomas Jefferson, then president, declared that the American people through the First Amendment had erected a "wall of separation between church and state." (Colonial religious liberty pioneer Roger Williams used a similar phrase 150 years earlier.)
Source: http://www.theocracywatch.org/separation_church_state2.htm
Also please see http://www.adl.org/issue_religious_freedom/separation_cs_primer.asp

So with this said and read how is it possible for people to pass laws based solely on religious beliefs?! Didn't the Pilgrims leave England because they wanted FREEDOM OF RELIGION?? Now the NEW WORLD (USA) isn't as free as it once was...I'm just saying...

Remember When Blacks Couldn't Marry Whites?
Posted Jun 14th 2007 1:58AM by John MullaneyFiled under: Gay Rights, Massachusetts Senate
Looking back in time, it is so easy to see how the U.S
Supreme Court was right in making many of its decisions. One might say, they were creating laws. Those creations made this country a much better place for all of us to live. Having said that, many of the historic decisions were not well accepted at the time.
40 years ago this week, on June 12, 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court said that
Mildred Jeter, a black woman and Richard Loving, a white man, could marry. In order to change the law and allow such a marriage, the court relied on the fourteenth amendment. In writing the opinion for the court, Chief Justice Earl Warren said:
"This case presents a constitutional question never addressed by this Court: whether a statutory scheme adopted by the State of Virginia to prevent marriages between persons solely on the basis of racial classifications violates the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. For reasons which seem to us to reflect the central meaning of those constitutional commands, we conclude that these statutes cannot stand consistently with the Fourteenth Amendment."
Many of the states were outraged with this decision. You see,
these laws were created as part of the democratic process. If two people who were of different races made love, it was a misdemeanor as long as they were not married. If they married, it was a felony. The states wanted to protect the sanctity of marriage. The federal circuit court judge cited God in making his decision.
"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."
Now let us fast forward the story 40 years. This Sunday, in Braintree, a Catholic priest decided to use the pulpit as a political soapbox. He pointed out that in each pew there was a thank-you card that was prepared and ready to be sent to the State Senator who has voted to allow the citizens of Massachusetts to vote on whether gay marriages should be allowed. The Massachusetts Supreme Court already said they should be allowed on constitutional grounds.
Just like 40 years ago, the people trying to prevent gay marriage have no legal problem with people having gay sex. They just don't want them married. Gays can live together. They can adopt children. They just can't get married. Sounds a lot like the same thought process used in the Jeter-Loving case.
Now, back to the priest and what he had to say. He went on the attack against a state representative. From the pulpit, he criticized the rep's decision to vote against allowing the citizens of Massachusetts to vote for a ban on gay marriage. The rep is a lawyer who knows history and the law. He knows that you can not deprive people of their constitutional rights by vote. If that was the case, we would still have anti-miscegenation laws in Virginia today.

This is a VERY good article that EVERYONE SHOULD READ!

The Secret Origins of AIDS:Facts, Fallacies & Conspiracy Theories
By Alan Cantwell, MD
In 2006 the AIDS epidemic will be a quarter-century old. Officially starting in June 1981 as a mysterious and fatal disease exclusively found in several dozen young white gay men from New York City and Los Angeles, the disease has already killed 20 million people with 40 million more currently infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), widely accepted as the sole cause of AIDS. One million Americans are now infected with HIV; and almost half of the new cases are African-American.

Did You know!


More on this Christmas issue...according to the history channel website

Christmas wasn't a holiday in early America. From 1659 to 1681, the celebration of Christmas was actually outlawed in Boston. Anyone celebrating or showing Christmas in any way were fined 5 shillings...how ever much that is.
After the American Revolution, English customs fell out of favor, including Christmas. In fact, Congress was in session on December 25, 1789, the first Christmas under America's new constituion. Christmas wasn't declared a federal holiday until June 26, 1870.
It wasn't until the 19th century that Americans began to embrace Christmas. Americans re-invented Christmas, and changed it from a raucous carnival holiday into a family-centered day of peace and nostalgia. But what about the 1800s peaked American interest in the holiday?
The early 19th century was a period of class conflict and turmoil. During this time, unemployment was high and gang rioting by the disenchanted classes often occurred during the Christmas season. In 1828, the New York city council instituted the city's first police force in response to a Christmas riot. This catalyzed certain members of the upper classes to begin to change the way Christmas was celebrated in America.
In 1819, best-selling author
Washington Irving wrote The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, gent., a series of stories about the celebration of Christmas in an English manor house. The sketches feature a squire who invited the peasants into his home for the holiday. In contrast to the problems faced in American society, the two groups mingled effortlessly. In Irving's mind, Christmas should be a peaceful, warm-hearted holiday bringing groups together across lines of wealth or social status. Irving's fictitious celebrants enjoyed "ancient customs," including the crowning of a Lord of Misrule. Irving's book, however, was not based on any holiday celebration he had attended – in fact, many historians say that Irving's account actually "invented" tradition by implying that it described the true customs of the season.

Halloween...A Devils Holiday?


Source
Many Christian parents do not allow their children to participate in Halloween activities. Is such a prohibition Biblically sound? According to God's sacred Word, yes, indeed it is. Halloween has its origin and basis in evil paganism, which God condemns. Halloween may perhaps best be described by its associated name, Devil's Night.

"the only day on which the help of the devil was invoked"

And what does God's Word say about participating in activities based on paganism, witchcraft, demons, divination, and "seeking the help of the devil"?

"But I say, that the things which the Gentiles [pagans in other translations] sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.Ye cannot drink the cup of The Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of The Lord's table, and of the table of devils." (1 Corinthians 10:20-21 KJV)

"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto The Lord: and because of these abominations The Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with The Lord thy God." (Deuteronomy 18:10-13 KJV)


As I keep researching Halloween and the Christians take on it I found this:
The October 31st holiday that we today know as Halloween has strong roots in paganism and is closely connected with worship of the Enemy of this world, Satan. It is a holiday that generally glorifies the dark things of this world, rather than the light of Jesus Christ, The Truth.
Have you noticed how costumes and masks are getting generally more bloody, gory, and depraved each year? Unfortunately, the gruesome and grotesque and the occult are increasingly glorified in American society, not only on Halloween, but throughout the year in horror movies and in television programs.


Along with it came these, Relavant scripture on the issue of Hallowen and Christians:
1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 ("Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.")James 1:27 ("keep oneself from being polluted by the world")
3 John 1:11 ("do not imitate what is evil")
Romans 12:9 ("abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.")
euteronomy 18:9-14 (do not learn to imitate detestable ways, including spiritists, sorcerers and witchcraft)
Ephesians 5:11-12 ("Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness" / "live as children of light")
1 Timothy 4:1 (don't "follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons")
1 Corinthians 10:212 Corinthians 6:14-17 ("what fellowship can light have with darkness?")James 4:7-8 (submit yourselves to God / resist the devil / purify your hearts)
Ezekiel 44:23 ("…teach my people… to distinguish between the unclean and the clean.")
Romans 13:12 ("put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.")
Ephesians 6:11-18 ("take your stand against the devil's schemes.")

Now on this very same site I see something called a "Harvest Party"....what is that?

It is a celebration.
It is chaperoned (usually).
It may have costumes.
Games are played.
Contests are held.
Food abounds.
Music blares.
Everyone enjoys themselves.

But some Christians don't think it is right to celebrate this either...why? well from my understanding The Harvest Party is simply a substitute for Halloween. So in a way its kind of saying that Christians need something to take polace of Halloween, and suggest that Christian kids are missing out on something. Read more about this here.

Part 3: The World and Halloween

Like I said...some hispanic people call Halloween "El Dia De Los Muertos".

El Dia De Los Muertos
In Mexico, Latin America, and Spain, All Souls' Day, which takes place on November 2, is commemorated with a three-day celebration that begins on the evening of October 31. The celebration is designed to honor the dead who, it is believed, return to their earthly homes on Halloween. Many families construct an altar to the dead in their homes to honor deceased relatives and decorate it with candy, flowers, photographs, samples of the deceased's favorite foods and drinks, and fresh water. Often, a wash basin and towel are left out so that the spirit can wash before indulging in the feast.

Guy Fawkes Day
On the evening of November 5, bonfires are lit throughout England. Effigies are burned and fireworks are set off. Although it falls around the same time and has some similar traditions, this celebration has little to do with Halloween or the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The English, for the most part, stopped celebrating Halloween as Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation began to spread. As followers of the new religion did not believe in saints, they had no reason to celebrate the eve of All Saints' Day. However, a new autumn ritual did emerge. Guy Fawkes Day festivities were designed to commemorate the execution of a notorious English traitor, Guy Fawkes.


Where It All Began
In Ireland, where Halloween originated, the day is still celebrated much as it is in the United States. In rural areas, bonfires are lit as they were in the days of the Celts, and all over the country, children get dressed up in costumes and spend the evening "trick-or-treating" in their neighborhoods. After trick-or-treating, most people attend parties with neighbors and friends. At the parties, many games are played, including "snap-apple," a game in which an apple on a string is tied to a doorframe or tree and players attempt to bite the hanging apple. In addition to bobbing for apples, parents often arrange treasure hunts, with candy or pastries as the "treasure." The Irish also play a card game where cards are laid face down on a table with candy or coins underneath them. When a child chooses a card, he receives whatever prize is found below it.

Part 2: Halloween Mordern Tradition & Evolution of a Holiday

Here are some interesting excerts I found on history.com
So where did Trick or Treating originate from?

The American tradition of "trick-or-treating" probably dates back to the early All Souls' Day parades in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.
On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.
want to know more?

Halloween Evolves
As European immigrants came to America, they brought their varied Halloween customs with them. Because of the rigid Protestant belief systems that characterized early New England, celebration of Halloween in colonial times was extremely limited there.
It was much more common in Maryland and the southern colonies. As the beliefs and customs of different European ethnic groups, as well as the American Indians, meshed, a distinctly American version of Halloween began to emerge.By the middle of the nineteenth century, annual autumn festivities were common, but Halloween was not yet celebrated everywhere in the country.
In the late 1800s, there was a move in America to mold Halloween into a holiday more about community and neighborly get-togethers, than about ghosts, pranks, and witchcraft.
At the turn of the century, Halloween parties for both children and adults became the most common way to celebrate the day. Parties focused on games, foods of the season, and festive costumes. Parents were encouraged by newspapers and community leaders to take anything "frightening" or "grotesque" out of Halloween celebrations. Because of their efforts, Halloween lost most of its superstitious and religious overtones by the beginning of the twentieth century.

A new American tradition was born, and it has continued to grow. Today, Americans spend an estimated $6.9 billion annually on Halloween, making it the country's second largest commercial holiday.Watch this clip

You think with the economy so low people are going to be spending that much on candy this year? lol

Halloween...and Me

Being that the majority of my family weren't born here we never really knew what halloween was until we got to the U.S. We don't celebrate thanksgiving, 4th of July, Halloween or any of those other "American" holidays because well we aren't American. Now Halloween isn't really mentioned in my family at least not in Peru but to some latin americans and Mexicans its known as "El Dia de Los Muertos" ("Day of the Dead"), I remember my grandma told me we shouldn't celebrate it because it's the devils holiday and participating in it would be celebrating the devil...all that was forgotten once entered the school system and adapted to the American life. I went out trick or treating and as I got older did whatever else people did on Halloween depending on your age, I stopped thinking so much of what it meant and stood for and looked at all the fun and events that happen on that day...so in a way to me it wasn't that I was celebrating the devil it was more that I was just participating in extra activities that happen on that day much like events that happen on the 4th of July.
As I got older, like with every other holiday, I didnt pay too much attention to it nor did I do much to participate in it. This year how ever I am torn. My grandma passed away and she always wanted me to be more religious and for a long time I have gone back and forth about attending church and taking that big step and being committed. Well now that Halloween comes a long...I am at a crossroads. As I was telling a friend about a halloween party I MAY throw together, she tells me she's sorry she won't attend bc of her religious beliefs...she pretty much said everything my grandma said to be years before. For the rest of the day I thought about it. I read up on the origins of Halloween... so far here are some highlights...

Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).
The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred.

To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities.

By A.D. 43, Romans had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain.The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of "bobbing" for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.

By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints' Day)and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints', All Saints', and All Souls', were called Hallowmas.

7 Myths about Sleep

1. To function best, you need to get eight hours.There’s nothing magic about that number. Everyone has different sleep needs, and you’ll know you’re getting enough when you don’t feel like nodding off in a boring situation in the afternoon, says New York University psychologist Joyce Walsleben, Ph.D., co-author of A Woman’s Guide to Sleep.
2. If you can get it, more sleep is always healthier. You wish. Some studies have found that people who slept more than eight hours a night died younger than people who got between six and eight hours. What scientists don’t know yet: Whether sleeping longer causes poor health or is a symptom of it, says Najib Ayas, M.D., MPH, assistant professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia. Long sleepers may suffer from problems such as sleep apnea, depression, or uncontrolled diabetes that make them spend more time in bed.

3. Some people function perfectly on four hours of sleep. Legendary short sleepers—including Bill Clinton, Madonna, and Margaret Thatcher—don’t necessarily do better on fewer Zs. “They’re just not aware of how sleepy they are,” says Thomas Roth, Ph.D., sleep researcher at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Too little sleep is bad for your health and your image: It can make you ineffective (it impairs performance, judgment, and the ability to pay attention), sick (it weakens your immune system), and overweight. In fact, women who slept five hours or less a night were a third more likely to gain 33 pounds or more over 16 years than women who slept seven hours, according to a Harvard Nurses’ Health Study. Oddly, cutting too much sleep and getting less than six hours is associated with the same problems as sleeping too long: a higher risk of heart problems and death. And, of course, cheating on sleep hurts you behind the wheel: “Wakefulness for 18 hours makes you perform almost as though you’re legally drunk,” says Walsleben.

4. Waking up during the night means you’ll be tired all day. Au contraire: It might be our natural cycle. Many animals sleep this way, and there are a lot of indications that our ancestors did, too, perhaps stirring nightly to talk or have sex, says Thomas Wehr, M.D., scientist emeritus at the National Institute of Mental Health. When 15 people in one of his studies lived without artificial lights for a few weeks, they wound up sleeping three to five hours, waking up for one or two, then sleeping again for four or more hours—and they said they had never felt so rested.

5. You need prescription drugs if you have insomnia every night. Sleep meds are designed for short-term sleep problems, caused by stressful events like the loss of a job or taking a transatlantic flight. People with longer-term problems benefit more from cognitive behavioral therapy—essentially, retraining your perceptions of sleep and learning better sleep habits, such as going to bed at the same time every night, avoiding TVs and computers before bed, staying away from caffeine at least six hours before sleep, and other lifestyle changes. In fact, in 2005, the National Institutes of Health concluded that this type of therapy is as effective as prescription drugs for short-term treatment of chronic insomnia. In many cases, a sleeping pill may not even solve your sleep problem. “About half the people who think they have insomnia may have anxiety or depression,” says Daniel Kripke, M.D., a University of California at San Diego sleep expert.

6. You can make up for lost sleep on weekends. Bingeing on Zs over the weekend and not sleeping during the week—what Harvard sleep expert Robert Stickgold, Ph.D., calls “sleep bulimia”—upsets your circadian rhythms and makes it even harder to get refreshing sleep. Sleeping until noon on Sunday generally prevents you from hitting the sheets by 10 that night. So instead of correcting your deficit from the week before, you set up a no-sleep cycle for the week to come. “The body loves consistency,” says Donna Arand, Ph.D., spokeswoman for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Best to rise around the same time every day, even on weekends.

7. Tylenol PM is better than a prescription sleep med for an occasional bout of insomnia. Not if the bout lasts longer than a few nights, says Helene Emsellem, M.D., of the Center for Sleep & Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, MD. Tylenol PM is no better than a prescription drug for people who have trouble falling asleep, and may be less effective than some prescription drugs, she says. The active ingredient in Tylenol PM is an anti-histamine, and its side effect is that it makes you drowsy. Some have reported a greater possibility of feeling “hung-over” after taking antihistamines than after taking prescription drugs. If you do decide to take antihistamines, don’t do it in the middle of the night: They may stay active in your system for eight hours or more. Another difference: Prescription sleep drugs are thought to allow you to go through all stages of the sleep cycle; no word on whether antihistamines do the same.

23. The first Harley Davidson motorcycle built in 1903 used a tomato can for a carburetor.

24. Most hospitals make money by selling the umbilical cords cut from women who give birth. They are used in vein transplant surgery.

- Thats just fucking disgusting! Remind me not to get that surgery done...wouldn't want your umbilical cord in me!

25. Humphrey Bogart was related to Princess Diana. They were 7th cousins.

26. If coloring wasn't added to Coca-Cola, it would be green.

din·gle·ber·ry
(dnggl-br)
n. Vulgar Slang
1. A piece of dried feces caught in the hair around the anus.
2. An incompetent, foolish, or stupid person.
Dingleberry is a slang term for the unfortunate condition of faecal matter being caught in the hair, fur, or pelt of an animal or human around the region of the rump or buttocks. It generally occurs when the afflicted are unable to wipe or remove excrement from the nether regions and the matter dries. Other terms for dingleberry are dag, Australian and dangleberry, Irish and clinker, English I believe.
They occur on many animals, especially with those with thick coats or the inability to wield toilet paper in an appropriate manner. Animals such as long-haired cats, dogs and sheep may have to have the offending berries removed by trimming hair to prevent other nasty things occurring, as in sheep being crutched (removing wool from the rump and rear legs) to avoid fly strike. Humans (mostly male as they are the more hirsute) can wax or shave the hair or learn to use toilet paper properly. Another piece of advice* is to use expensive toilet paper as it does not disintegrate and leave behind debris that may become dingleberries. Using a bidet may also help.
The word is not featured in the Oxford nor Chambers dictionaries but the word dingle is, and may give some clue to the word's origins.
doyle informs me that there is a Dingleberry Lake in California. Odd but true.

Mariah Cannon?

According to http://www.mediatakeout.com/

August 20, 2008. Goodbye Mariah Carey. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that superstar vocalist Mariah Carey is changing her name - TO MARIAH CANNON!!! According to one of MediaTakeOut.com's tipsters, Mariah has reportedly already had her name changed legally and is now officially Mrs Cannon.And if it's going to take you some time to adjust to Mariah's new name - you're not alone. The snitch told MediaTakeOut.com that Mariah's giving her staff one week to adjust to the name change. After that week, anyone who calls her by hr former name is in trouble.We're just gonna call her M.C. from now on....

Ummmm I think I will just call her Mariah...
