trying to find a saying for my bedroom wall

the options are...

Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”


“Love cannot express the idea of music, while music may give an idea of love

“Where words fail, music speaks.”

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.


Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life

Without music life would be a mistake.

Music is what feelings sound like.

There is nothing in the world so much like prayer as music is.

Music's the medicine of the mind

Music is an outburst of the soul.

Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without

Music is love in search of a word

If music be the food of love, play on

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe


and the winner is

Love is a friendship set to music.
do you love it?

weather

I have had this conversation a million times with a million different people since we relocated to the frozen north. Why is it that the weather affects places so differently. For instance when my husband was a kid [from Idaho] if the temperature dropped lower than -20 or got 2 feet of snow they canceled school that day. He would lay down at night and pray "God, please let it snow, a whole bunch. But if you cant do that then please make it really really cold". Here 2 feet of snow is business as usual, there just might be more traffic due to wrecks, and at -20 the kids can still go out for recess. Anything more than 20 below they have to stay inside. School cancellations NEVER happen. Some businesses close when it is 60 below, but temperature is not usually a reason for change, nor is snow. I have a lot of friends in the lower 48 [that is what we call it] that haven't be able to go to school or work for a week now. When my dad flew up here last Christmas he was delayed out of Seattle because of ice on the plane. That very same plane was doused with an ice melt in Anchorage and made its way to Fairbanks with no problems. In inch of snow at some airports would cripple travel, but here, again, business as usual. There is a place called Wittier they get 258 inches of snow annually, in order for the kids to get to school they walk by way of an underground tunnel. INSANE. 258 inches of snow would stop normalcy anywhere, even here. It is just biiiiizzzzzaaaarrr to me how the same weather affects places so differently.

as seen on the other blog

I called my dr on monday because I wanted to start taking my ol' trusty ripped fuel. I love that stuff. It gives me so much energy, burns my fat, and I always get stuff done when i am taking it. It has side effects of course but do i care...not really...maybe a little, but not enough not to take it. However i am also taking Welbutrin so i wasnt sure what the side effects would be with the combination of the 2 would be so i called. Naturally the doc said no, but not only because it can cause arithmia but it can increase the side effects of the welbutrin. THAT is why I am not going to take it. i cannot afford to have to work any harder than i have to for satisfaction in the bedroom. not going to happen. So i asked the nurse if the doc recomended anything i could take. Doc said no, but there are some other avenues i could take. I explained to hei that i have gained almost 10 lbs in the last month and i am going to the gym 3 days a week. I am eating healthy. yadda yadda yadda. The nurse agrees that that is really weird, so they ordered a metabolic screening and thyroid test. He then explained to me that there is what they call "the eielson 35". which means in the last 5 years people have gained an average of 35 LBS in their first year at this base. I am very familier with this theory, because i refused to be one of those people. When i got to this base i was 164 if i gained the eielson 35 that would have put me at almost 200 lbs. OMG no way. Last summer i got down to 125 YAY, id love to be there again. so hopefully we can find out what the heck the problem is. No body wants a Fat personal trainer LOL
