Best White Bread
1 1/2 c very warm water
1 T sugar
1 T non-fat dry milk
1 t salt
4 c flour
1 T yeast
This is a very simple but very effective recipe.
I have found many ways I can vary it, such as:
Add 1 T extra virgin olive oil a pinch of dried oregano a pinch of dried basil about 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (depending on personal taste)
This variation makes a great pizza dough.

pleniloquence
PRONUNCIATION: (ple-NIL-uh-kwens)
MEANING: noun: Excessive talking.
ETYMOLOGY: From Latin pleni- (full) + -loquence (speaking). Earliest documented use: 1838. The opposite is breviloquence.
USAGE: “Their debate has become increasingly embroiled in pleniloquence over minutiae, as they dispute the actual number of lawyers in Germany, Korea, etc.” Frank B. Cross; Lawyers, the Economy, and Society; American Business Law Journal (Oxford, Ohio); Summer 1998.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident. -Hugh Walpole, writer (13 Mar 1884-1941)

Dear Papa,
Where are you when I need you? I’m in the depths of despair right now. I’ve had some challenges and I’ve no one to talk to about my grief.
I miss you so much, Papa. I wish I had another voice of reason, another person to tell my sorrows to, a soft shoulder to cry on. And I don’t have that. I need to keep all my pain, grief, sadness masked away. Act as if I am not bothered by anything. As if I don’t care. As if nothing is a big deal. But it’s not like that at all.
Because Lucia Crosson from Dress For Success died of cancer on Saturday December 22, 2018. And I’m sad & upset & completely grief stricken. Lucia who rallied around me in 2013 when I had my surgery and had women from all over Dress For Success send me loads of cards & well wishes. Lucia who introduced me to my former boss Marsha Goldford at CLBC where I’ve been working since November 13, 2008. Her kind manner, she always talked to me whenever I saw her at the Pot Lucks in August And December. I looked forward to them because I loved talking to her.
And mommy says I should stop posting about this because we were not bosom buddies. But I am sad and upset and I need a hug. I don’t have anybody to hug me, Papa. I want to be hugged. I want to be held. I want somebody to hold me while I cry.
All of my emotions are inside of me and I can’t let them out at home. Mommy doesn’t like crying or laughing or anything like that. Because it is seen as being like a maniac or a crazy person. I am supposed to control my emotions. Act as if I didn’t have any. A robot. Automaton.
But I have feelings. I feel more than others do. And I am frustrated at my current situation at home, Papa. The constant barbs & pricks @ my weight & lymphedema & my conversion to the Catholic Faith. To her my lymphedema is all self-imposed – it’s all my fault. And I never asked to have swollen legs. Because it’s so much fun – a barrel of laughs, really – to have to wear compression bandages all of the time just so your legs don’t constantly swell up. And I really enjoy the constant pressure in my feet even with the stockings on – that feel like a pressure cooker building up steam, unable to release it. Gee, golly that’s so much fun to have 24/7/365. I just love that constant pain.
I don’t have you to talk to. I am all alone. You are the last ghost to kill.
Love,
Tara Kimberley Torme

Dear God,
I struggle with sugar cravings/food issues which really affect my weight. There are many foods I eat that I just can’t stop in eating a small portion. I need to eat the entire bowl/bag ’till it’s gone. I can easily eat ’till I’m about to vomit ’cause I have issues with portion control. Please help me with this so it is not an issue for me any longer & I’ll be able to lose weight & keep it off. I really need help with this. I’m tire of being the weight I am. I want to be healthier. I can’t do it alone. Please listen to my prayer.

Dear God,
What would happen if there was social media during the biblical times? Would the Bible have changed – if there were phones to record, post, twitter, You Tube, Facebook? How would have history looked with our modern technology over 2,000 years ago? Would Jesus have a different birthday to celebrate?

WHY I CAN’T WORK MONDAYS:
I can’t work Mondays
Washing my soap with Comet
Be there tomorrow.
I can’t work Mondays
Taking my cat to confess
Be there tomorrow.
