Anyone who receives email on their computer has probably received email of various crimes that have been committed against women in shopping center parking lots, etc. I just received another similar email. Before sending it onward, I did some investigation on SNOPES.COM . This is what I learned that just might help those people who are overly anxious about such things happening to themselves. BUT please do not think that I am telling you that this could not happen. It definitely could. We just need to be aware of our surroundings at all times!
"On December 16, 1989, a man kidnapped a younger woman from a department store in Waterbuy, CT, after he had helped her to change a tire that he had let the air out of while she was in the store doing some Christmas shopping. He then drove her to a wooded area where he raped her, bound her and pushed her off of a dam into an icy pond 23 feet below. She was later discovered--dead, of course."
Since then, there has been no evidence of this happening anywhere in the United States. However, there have been many email sent out involving different people in different situations. If you receive email that seems like it might not be totally true, check into Snopes. It might relieve your mind considerably.
Just thought that you might want to know the rest of the story...

Great News!!!
For over a week, I have looked EVERYWHERE for my glasses to no avail. Today and tomorrow, I will be doing my credit bureau reporting. Doing it with no glasses was going to be very difficult.
Last night when I was getting ready to go to bed, I had my bedtime visit with God. I mentioned to Him that I really needed His help in locating my eyewear.
Later while I was in bed, I had this overwhelming feeling that I needed to look around our chest of drawers in our bedroom. Danley was already asleep so I would not do it then. I awakened at the same time as Danley this morning (3:30) which is quite abnormal for me. By that time, my meds have taken over and I am sleeping soundly. I told Stan that we needed to check over in the area of the chest of drawers. Before he pulled out the VERY heavy piece of furniture, he opened the top drawer and THERE THEY WERE!!! Many times as I am going to bed, I lay them on the top of the chest. Evidentally, someone accidentally swept them into the drawer.
Folks, God gets all credit here!!! Thank You, Lord!!!

To Give Away
I just received information from Clint and Jeannette Raynes of Scott City that they have a great guy that they are needing to find a home for. He is approximately 19-months-old. Charley is a mixed breed, medium-sized fellow. He is shorthaired and is black with white markings. He has been NEUTERED and has been given all of the necessary shots. Charley is also house-broken. He is very friendly, happy and affectionate. He loves and gets along well with children and other animals.
If you are interested in him, please leave a comment here or email me at slblaus@gmail.com . At this time, I have no phone number information to give to you. As soon as I hear from Jeannette or Clint, I will post a new message for you.

THANK YOU!!!
I need to express my gratitude to those of you who read my blog regularly and have taken time last night and today to email or call me to let me know how much they appreciate what I write and how much they detest the actions of these people who find it necessary to tear me down. Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!
I have never been able to understand why some people find such delight in trying to hurt others. I agree with what Mama has always told me. These people tend to have major holes in their own lives so they go out to hurt someone else thinking that it will make them feel better about themselves. I also appreciate the fact that my supporters also find the nameless complainers to be disgusting and repulsive. If you have a negative comment to share with me and everyone else who reads my blog, have some guts and character--add your name.

Contraptions Yet to be Invented
Years ago, I remember my sisters and I loving to watch one of our favorite cartoons, THE JETSONS. We were always in awe of some of the contraptions that these people from the future had access to in their daily lives such as robots that cleaned for you, telephones that allowed you to actually see who you were conversing with and computers that did great deals of work and research for you so that you spent less time doing it yourself. Today, so many of those things now exist in our current world. What's next? Flying cars??? Ya' know what contraptions I wish that someone would invent? Here's just a few that I can think of right off of the top of my head:
1. Buzzers such as what cordless phones have to help you find things such as eyeglasses, etc that just seem to disappear. A few days ago, I lost my glasses and have been unable to find them. Though my general eyesight is good, I have great difficulty reading anything. Come tomorrow, I need to return to my credit bureau work. Without the glasses, I'll have a tough time reading some of the information. As a result of that, I'll take longer than normal and I'll come home with a headache.
2. Some kind of siren that rings whenever you lose your purse or wallet, car or house keys. And wouldn't it great to have that siren in place whenever someone stole these articles? It might be a lot easier for us to find these items when someone stole them.
3. Some type of alarm that alerts you that your dogs have left your property and will actually track them down for you. (I suppose that parents of little kids might appreciate this as well.)
4. A ringing sound that leads you to those newspapers that the newspaper person never seems to throw where you can find it. Ugh...
If you are currently trying to think of something that YOU can invent, consider these ideas, PLEASE! LOL!!!
