Wow, People Have Been Writing Good Stuff!!

I’ve just been away for a few days from my reader, and now I’m back there is a ton of catch-up reading to do.
Thank you for your prayers, everyone. The ER trip yesterday was short and sweet (3 1/2 hours, including waiting time!) — thank goodness I was not confined; just given 2 bags of fluids and sugar to give me a boost, and 2 prescriptions that already have helped tremendously. I’m still experiencing nausea, but more tolerable than the past 5 days. At least I’m able to fight it off better. It also helps that my fabulous mom is here to help out.
So anyway, enough about me… I’m here to share some links:
For Aisa, who I believe is still reading Fabiola:

Why Men Don’t Court Women Anymore
Comment: Southern men (US, I mean) and properly-trained Filipinos — seem to be the last remaining bastion of chivalry. I am very thankful courtship was still very much alive when dh courted me, or at least in our generation it seemed that way. In our small group of friends which included 3 other Filipino men, ALL of them courted their would-be wives. Maybe one of these days I’ll write how it was to be courted Filipino-style in modern-day America.
I am so tempted to print out copies of this and leave them anonymously all over our Parish…. (on dressing modestly for Mass)
When do we get one of these here in Ohio? Methinks a looooong while, as it’s a bit too progressive here. My response to the complainers: What, don’t you have enough anti-life pharmacies to begrudge the pro-life folks their own??? It’s not like you couldn’t drive down a few blocks to the nearest one. From what I can tell online, Chantilly, VA isn’t exactly the boondocks.
So many great crafty ideas!!! I followed the link from Kim who originally got it from Amy. Now that I have hope of having more than a few minutes each day of feeling good enough to drive and go around, a trip to Michael’s to finally stock up on summer crafty things should be just the thing to combat the kids’ summer boredom. (Tho’ not Aisa’s, who’s hoping to finish all her requirements to graduate from high school in August!!)
He also wonders if one can copyright a recipe. Since this is an issue several Filipino food bloggers have had to contend with including myself — too many that we even had to put up a one-time blogging event to call attention to the problem back in ‘05 — I put in my .02.
Oh, so, so true. (on clutter)
