QUESTION: If you had to go into the Witness Protection Program, what secret name would you choose?

My show-biz name is Huckleberry Rippard! No way am I using that.

How to find your show-biz name: What is the name of your first pet? What is the name of the street where you grew up? Let me know your name!!! I promise not to tell anyone.

Of course, that name wouldn't work for me now because I've told everyone! The other day I saw a Flossie Mae had died, so that name's available, but that name is just plain ugly. Who would name a cute little baby "Flossie" unless it was a cow baby? Someone did name a baby cow after me once --- but it was a very cute cow!

How about Lola Evans for me? It sounds similar to my name now in that the syllables are right! And it's random.  Works for me. 

So what's your show-biz name for the Witness Protection Program, Streamers???

God of love and peace,

Sometimes we are trapped in

situations when war is inevitable

and we are called to fight to defend

those things we hold most dear.

Help us to enter into such situations

remembering your charge to

those who hate us,

to bless those who curse us,

and to pray for those

who abuse us.

Keep us mindful of these things,

O Lord.

A month ago, my husband and I started the Nutrisystem Diet together. Oh, joy, we're going to be swimsuit ready early, or so I thought. After a month, my Sweetie Pie has lost ten pounds --- yes, 10 big ones! Yours truly had lost NOTHING! Nothing, I tell you!!! Men...... and their overworking fat-burning muscles.

I was livid. I canceled my next shipment of a month of tasty meals and went back to my old friends at Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness Center. In three days I've lost four pounds! Now I'm a happy Streamer once again and there's finally less of me to love! No more singing the blues for me.
