Took Mom and one of the caregivers out to dinner last night. At the restaurant they had this little newspaper called The Coffee News that had a lot of little interesting tidbits in it. Thought I would share some of the tidbits with you this morning but before I do wanted to update you on the latest with my Mom.
A couple of nights ago Mom and I had a very good talk. Best talk we have had in ages. Mom now has gone from viewing the month at Chehelam Springs as a negative to viewing it as a positive. She has even asked questions about what would happen if she decides to stay there for good. I'm so happy that she has changed her thinking and I have to attribute that to all your good thoughts and prayers.
Now on to the tidbits in the coffee news:
According to The Guiness Book of Records the longest marriage is eighty-three years. I know some marriages that didn't last eighty-three days.
Then there was a couple quotes, "It is important to watch what you eat. Otherwise, how are you going to get it into your mouth." or "The trouble with talking to fast is that you may something you haven't thought of yet."
Trivia? Who coined the phrase "The Iron Curtain"? It was coined by Winston Churchill when he was prime minister of Britain. In 1946 he gave a speech in Missouri and used the phrase "an iron curtain has descended across the continent."
Interesting stories? How about this one. Dylan Hargreaves is autistic, but the family's new pet, a macaw named Barney, has helped the boy to speak. The four year-old is so intrigued by the parrot that he has begun to learn some of the words squawked by Barney, like "Dad," and "Mom," and "Bye" and "Hello." Rob Hargreaves, Dylan's dad, actually bought the parrot for his wife, Michelle, never guessing it would help Dylan so profoundly. "The bird has changed our lives," he says. The Blackburn, England family is grateful for its effect on the boy and is excited at the prospect that Dylan may soon graduate to two-syllable words.
May this be a day filled with love and happiness for you all.

Hi There Symply
Here are some more tidbits from The Coffee News:
What is basophobia?
The fear of standing erect or walking.
Or this one also from The Coffee News:
A new study shows that people with high IQs tend to make more money, but they also tend to spend it more quickly and fivolously. Jay Zagorsky, of Ohio State University, looked at data from 7,400 Americans in their 40s. It showed that for every IQ point scored, a person's gross income went up $200 to $600 a year. However, the accumulation of wealth was more apparent in folks with normal or even lower than average IQ. His conclusion was that smarter people are more inclinded to squander their wealth. "Those with low intelligence shouldn't believe they are handicapped by it," says Zagorsky.
