I apologize straight up for the formatting again!!! I copied and pasted, SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME!!! I sit in my friend's shop (MUDCAT POTTERY) ANOTHER SATURDAY WHILE SHE IS OUT OF TOWN. PARDON ANY SPELLING ERRORS...I need new glasses! The weather is perfect, and as I started this entry a couple came in; they bought 2 mugs and a lovely vase. My friend Darlene does nice work. There is a soup, stew and chili event on Main Street today, which goes much better with this weather than last week's 90 degree temps. Ahhh, back to autumn. Since I have not written much on this site in a while, and must apologize for the previous entry's sun on sentences due to a copy and paste from elsewhere, I will try to just stick with the past week's anagrams, as a follow up of sorts to what I wrote last week. I don't know when I will be back on site, so a little continuity is nice. From my journal on October 8th... Since I had mentioned I was using the Family Circus comic strip of 9-23-07 in parts, in the last entry for anagramming, I decided what the heck, I should go ahead and use the last "quotes" in that comic strip so I could be done with it. The text, "A penny saved is a penny earned, but what can you buy with one cent" revealed quite a few anagrams, but here are a few only: "They want, but cannot see us, when you appear, by divine end, any can." "That's between you Sunday, with uncanny vein beyond appearance." "You understand why I've a tenet, we can announce by Saint, Be Happy!" Good enough. On the 8th I chose Dennis the Menace text, which I rarely use, but that day the text was, "Hold up Mister! My mom said she already has enough junk mail. You can have these back!" The anagram revealed was, "Many heard him say, thieves came back, so make nominal, Jesus pulled you through." That seems to have a direct correlation to something I wrote in my journal on the 30th of September when the September journal disappeared from my computer. At the top of the journal (in my computer) I have an illustration of 3 drunken aliens with the caption under it September thieves. I am now writing my journal in weekly installments in the computer rather than a whole month saved as one document. It works better now. I jumped to the Baby Blues comic strip, using the text from that that read, "But I just gave the thing CPR! I practically had its whole head in my mouth!" The mother on the strip had just given mouth-to-mouth on a pet turtle, which died anyway. My anagram was, "I ACTIVATED JESUS MECHANICAL WRITING, LIGHT UP THY BUD PATH HOLY MOTHER." Whoa! Another one was, "I'm happy that little child gave it a human body...it grew into Jesus' church." There were others, but that is all you get on this text for now. On the 9th I recall my horoscope was "Keep an open mind and let your curiosity take you to new levels of understanding." So instead of picking a comic text to anagram that day from the newspaper of the day, I went back to Garfield's comic strip of 10-07-07, so I could use it in parts like I did the Family Circus comic strip. Garfield's Jon read his fortune from a fortune cookie. In parts here are some of the anagrams I revealed from the text: Bubble #1: You are kind, loving, creative and original. Good things are being said about you..." The anagrams I liked best from that were: "Originally God gave you Da Vinci's brain to engine about in ark house, I'd do great!" "Genii took advantage about your hand signal, I discovered your Original being." You'd never believe the other ones, so I jump to the next part of the fortune cookie text... Bubble #2: Sunshine, happiness, great success, and true love all await you in the future..." I will just give you one anagram here, "Truth is supposed to set us all free, cause the awe in uncanny visual hearing." Bubble#3: "...You are wonderful beyond measure, and everyone treasures you dearly..." Nice anagram, "Be sure you read every day you understand more fully reason we are one." October 10th, part of my horoscope read, "Sometimes you doubt your own competence, but you shouldn't..." I am getting better about that. On the 11th I was thinking about the TEN AND ONE that the boy named Luke picked up off of the sidewalk the last Saturday I was watching my friend's shop. I immediately thought about the verse from the bible Luke 10:1, and remembered my online page that has that verse on it, and an unusual photo taken in Cincinnati a few years ago, one I think indicates Luke 10:1 fairly well. I will give two links here, http://mywebpage.netscape.com/cauznefx/index.html and this one, which references the Luke 10:1 verse, http://mywebpage.netscape.com/cauznefx/aheadoftime.html and may as well do one more if you are looking, http://mywebpage.netscape.com/cauznefx/instant/writing.html Simple pages, but some thought went into the content. On the 11th I picked text from a bubble in the comic strip Pickles, "The thing that separates man from beast is man's ability to envision a better world, and then work to make it a reality." Nice sentiment, I thought. I anagrammed it and got a couple of interesting anagrams: "The woman, able to take apart a word, read brilliant vision, something of a mystery, S.E.T.I at its best, I thank the REMNANT." THE REMNANT? You have heard of the Remnant. Anagrammed again, "Think it's a rare testament...a woman to take apart the babeled word, it's something of a mystery, then, a brilliant vision." Hmmm... One more time? Sure, why not, "It's not a blaspheme to hear God's word, they think it over... I may be better to answer man in a familiar "instant talk" state." Yep....there are many anagrams possible from many comic strips, but I happen to pick the ones that have a message, if anyone cares to read. So, in my at-home journal, I wrote that Bible verse down, from Luke 10:1, which says, "After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go." So if you happen to look at that photo really close, you will see the verse is in the photo, which I call Ahead of Time. By the way, I re-anagrammed that comic strip text again. Guess what it says? "Maybe a martian sent batter...I think tit for taqt shows we really bank on meeting the Lord...Madison area positive." Again? Sure... "Think she is the last real woman from earth...most entertaining...awards at table by invitation...stop time today, Beaker." You know who Beaker is, right? I almost forgot...I used last Sunday's Fox Trot (October 7th, 2007) text to reveal something in another of that day's comic strips, the Non Sequitur... The text from Fox Trot read, "With our old TV we'll have no back-up in case the cable goes out, we might have to go days without a single TV show!" The anagram I got was, "What Vickie showed thought won't...Savior taught angel love plays out when he views comic about "belled goats." Well, if you look at the comic strip (Non Sequitur) you will see there are indeed, belled goats. Enough for now...Think...there really is a God in Heaven...

Entry for October 07, 2007 Second day in a row at my friend's shop, so I will try to squeeze some things of interest into this entry. So I will try to boil it down to something understandable. I do daily anagrams from cartoons/comics in the newspapers. It is my God connection, though some may see it otherwise. the thing is, I do it often enough that it is a statistical event, or at least some can do the math. No way I can show what I have been doing the last year in anagrams in the couple of hours I am in the shop today, so I will just give you one comic strip that I have worked with recently. I pick a random comic and anagram, like the Family Circus strip of 9-23-07, a Sunday comic in which "Billy looks at some selected quotes." The comic can be found online at www.familycircus.com. I happened to pick that particular comic strip the day I went to the church down the street from me, for the first time, at the request of a neighbor. The church is the Pilgrim Holiness Church of Madison. The church was having a Bible Scool Concert that evening, with a meal of fellowship outside in the parking lot afterwards. I had never been there before, but before I left my house I put a number of items in an envelope so I could give it to whomever I was supposed to. I cut out part of the aforementioned comic strip, the part that said, "You will learn by asking questions...I usually learn I should have asked somebody else!" I noticed part of the Ziggy cartoon was on the back, the words, "you and you take a vow" and the word "gifts" and "accepted" were obvious. Ziggy's guru on the mountains' face was there too, so I put a piece of clear tape over the face, and attached the torn comic strip to a post-it note, writing on it two anagrams, and I also attached a bright 2007 penny. It was part of the $3.16 that I put into the envelope for the offering. I sealed the envelope and then went to church. As I said, there were two anagrams included in the envelope, one written in pencil, the other in red pen. The first sentence was, "King's Bible shows all He did say in red,you may all quake, I sense usual love,so truly one." The one in red said, "King's Bible shows all I said in red, You may sense unusual love, so they all quake ye Lord." The envelope was sealed and a sticker put on it before I left the house. During the concert I recall there was a lot of mention about questions, and at one point, when one of the gentleman was introducing another, he said something to the effect that the man cannot say these two words together: "perfectly clear". Well, something was already clear to me before leaving the house. I later asked the PR person who came from the bible school if the envelope made its way to him (unsure if offerings were given directly there or what) and he assured me he had the envelope with the sticker on it. So I figured it was where it should be. I later re-anagrammed that same text and got, "He died to vanquish all your sins, always seek our King, a Bible led my soul, you sense all." The next day I had an appointment in Columbus, Indiana, with a neurologist. I have had a dizziness problem since last All Saints Day, and though I am finally getting physical therapy, my doctor sent me to the neurologist after having an MRI done. So I saw him, he said I was wobbly, sent me to get blood tests. While in registration I noticed my diagnosis said dizziness and "giddyness". I always thought giddy meant like ha ha, but as I have said, it has other definitions. So when I re-anagrammed that Family Circus text again, this is what I saw, "Savior use will make you look nuts, heal by Aquinas, He labeled your illness "giddyness". I considered that a confirmation...ain't nuttin wrong with me. As the week went on I went back to the family Circus comic strip, and this time I chose another part of the text to anagram, "Your echo will always give you a faithful answer,...with the same dumb question you just asked!" Hey I didn't make it up, I am just using the text, and giving you the story. I realized I was purposefully not anagramming one of the quotes, "A penny saved is a penny earned...but what can you buy with one cent?" I knew why, basically I included the penny already...so anyway... I knew I would not get back to church the next Sunday because it was Chautauqua weekend in Madison, Indiana. I had already promised my neighbor I would go the following Sunday though, when it was Bring a Friend day. Sometime on either Friday or Saturday, the pastor of the church tried to make a home call, but I was gone. I was a docent for the Cornerstone twilight tours on Saturday so I was out Friday and most of Saturday. He did, however, leave a note, and I recall smiling when I read where it said, 'We trust that you felt God's presence in a special way."I always do. So I anagrammed the second set of quotes, about the echo, and got these anagrams: 1. "Even while you miss Chautauqua Sunday, talk with Jeffrey Moore about way God uses this "will". 2. "You must talk with Jeffrey Moore about Sunday, gave Holiness due, I will wash such a quiet way." At this point I realized I have the pastor's name and the church, and the fact that I missed church on Chautauqua weekend, and anagrammed it once more. 3. "Christ the King aids you , Jeffrey, usually about how He loves, wise woman must laud a quiet way." OK, I figured it was a message directly TO the pastor now, that I was to deliver. Fine, He twisted my arm enough. I did another anagram, "Buell had quiet attitude, an image of yours shows family value why you now wake Jesus Christ. I was unsure where to punctuate that. Buell was the neurologist I saw, and yes, I was surprised by his "quiet attitude". Value came up...but I wasn't sure what it meant yet. The next morning, it was October 1st, when I was listening to an interview on the Today Show, byb Meredith Vieria, and a man from Sunrise, Florida, when he said, "I have chosen a side"...he said he was an agnostic until he found himself sitting in the middle of the totally splintered aircraft he had been flying, and he was sitting upright, seat belt still on, with few injuries. Now he has chosen a side. Just a little miracle now and then will assist people to believe, I suppose. The words wise woman were still in my head. We do not normally buy the Madison Courier newspaper but the beau did on the 1st because there was a story in it about the Meese building, a building of local interest, I happened to notice a story beneath it, about a woman named Wise. I re-anagrammed the text I was working with and got this, "We asking you why RITA WISE HURT AT TACO BELL,with my love of you Jesus, human used a life squad." The story was about a woman named Rita Wise, who according to the paper, had been hit by a car in front of the Taco Bell about 10 Pm the previous night. Remember, the text I was using was from a comic strip a week old already. I am getting long here, but...at some point, on the 4th, I re-anagrammed the text about Pigpen and cleanliness and came up with another more bison oriented sentence, "God's little Einstein tests occipital sense on toons lining the plain, comic's bubble text tells." The next couple of days I was pretty busy, so didn't have much time for anagrams, but then by October 4th, I went back to the same comic strip and took up the last of the quotes to work on. Those being, "Godliness is next to cleanliness...little Pigpen isn't too clean, but blest to still be in the comics." Pigpen...yeah, the beau has told me his mother used to call him that. So the anagrams revealed God possesses us, He calls connection, not text, implicit Bible talents, intelligent little bison." Huh? Bison? Why would that show up in the anagram? Well, it was simple enough to me to understand. On the desktop shelf, about eye level, sits a "canned buffalo" that my friend Darlene had given me. So I picked up the can, turned it to the back and saw the words, "bison occidentalis", which to me meant, anagram again...so I did. "Intelligent senses got technical, but not impossible,let's spell it, next lot, "bison occidentalis." Anyone paying attention here? Friday I had no time to look at the paper so I did not see the comics again until Saturday when I saw the previous day's SPEED BUMP comic showed bison (the back of the heads of them at least) heading toward a merge in the road, as there was a lighted arrow pointing them to the right. The text of the cartoon said, "Aw geez, now we're merging down to one plain." Occipital, by the way, means back of the head. On Saturday, I worked at my friend's shop (at this point I am up to yesterday). I spoke with my neighbor about my anagrams, telling her I was going to print out the journal for the past week, and give the info to Pastor Jeffrey Moore. I also told her about the name Wise. She told me HER maiden name was Wise. Small world? Hard to say how small. I told her I would re-anagram and see if her name came up in the anagram. It did. It says, "We view all the dull stuff, you said Norma may be wise, though a kin, a way you quote Jesus Christ." Dull stuff? Well, part of my journal was just about daily stuff, mingled in with the anagrams, and the pastor has to wade through it. As I was printing out the journal to give him I realized I needed to add another anagram, although it was only slightly different, it makes a difference, "Even while you miss Chautauqua Sunday, talk with Jeffrey Moore about this, will use God's way." I handed the envelope over this morning. I noticed I gave my usual $3.16 in a folded triangle of money, and today the pastor said that passage aloud (John, 3:16) and he talked some about "will" and doing God's will. I am pretty sure I did God's will. I noticed the bulletin at the church today was rather special too, it was about pastors. I gave the pastor what I did as an affirmation that God is happy with his work. On the cover of the bulletin it says, God made pastors, and there was a nice poem. At the bottom on the front was a Bible quote, "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace." (I Peter 4:10 (NIV)) I think I just did that today, didn't I? Thanks for letting me share a gift that some may say comes through the comics but I can also say comes through the cosmic. I hope no one minds I used their real names, but when it comes to me the way it does, it is fact, and I cannot veer from the truth as it is given to me. Pardon any spelling errors, I have poor near vision, but hopefully I reproduced the anagrams as originally given without spelling errors...I hope I did not repeat myself too much, and that it is understood what occurs here in the anagrams. I do this every day, with a random pick, and I am never disappointed. I was not disappointed in church this morning either. The pastor talked a lot about value...Jesus values us a lot, enough to have died for us. That sounds like a lot of love to me. Value. What you see is what you get.

Today a friend allowed me to dig some (what I believe are called) red cedar trees from her lower field and she personally hand-dug one from her back yard, a very small one. I remember when I was a child that my grandmother had two of them between our two yards, but I thought she used to call them fir trees. Obviously, a botanist I am not. Here is a link to red cedars:

http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/4h/Eastern_redcedar/eastredc.htm

and they appear to look like the same trees, and I do not recall them bearing cones of any kind, as it says in the literature, but I do remember they produced small grey-blue berries. I remember they were prickly, too, as I found these were when I dug them up! I remember birds really enjoyed them, so I have planted seven of them in the yard.

I have a couple of new bird friends that eat across the street and visit me on the phone wire near the side porch...I am unsure what they are,but about the size of finches, although their coloring is very plain, like a wren or a sparrow, so maybe they are a house finch. They swoop and circle and have a lot of fun ...they are a simple joy.

 

I just went through some of my fav toons, and I saw that Rose had a cute little gif:

Yesterday I didn't get around to putting my collage on, so I squeezed it into today's collage, and the previous day, well, let's just say it was so personal to me that I decided not to share it at all. The one yesterday included randomly chosen cartoon text "love is... (and) You mean I'm a space consideration" became "I vitae one/you radio alien/spaces.msn.com." interesting, eh? I liked how it included spaces.msn.com...of course, it was just my take on it, wasn't it?

It was reported on CNN this morning that there was a clockwise spinning "dust devil"/tornado, in Oklahoma, I do believe, and it was unusual in that it spins from the ground upwards and because in the northern hemisphere, storms almost always spin the other way. Coincidentally, on the NOMAD page link I gave the other day...there was something about "clockwise swirls" and "'...unlike other artifically intelligent robots, NOMAD "thinks'..." which goes with today's cartoon I started with, the Quigman's. NOMAD probably thinks the cartoon is pretty funny.

I put some plants in yesterday, and shouldn't have done so much digging, as my back hurts again, but I guess now that I am getting older, I need to do some strength exercises to keep up to my previous yard work marathons. With rain in today's forecast, I picked up the heat gun and the chisels and went to work on am old door, an interior door that is being used as an exterior door, and now am to the point where it is almost done, but my hands are so cramped up and aching that I needed a break...yeah, like a keyboard is good for that, lol.

Anyway, I went to Lowe's yesterday, and found some "$3.33 specials" for the yard. I picked up a red weigela, a red twig dogwood, a couple of yellow twig dogwoods, two red altheas, and I found a river birch for 10 bucks at Wal-mart. I cut a large hosta in half and moved it to the front, and moved the others that I planted last year so they would not intefere with the growth of the azaleas and other small shade plants that I put out there. I divided up some striped ornamental grass and blood grass, and started them out front too, and hope that they all root well this year. I have a lot in the small spaces I have created so far, but sooner or later, will be dividing things up again to use elsewhere, whenever the addition is done and the lower yard re-graded. I have put a lot of work in the yard since moving here, and hope that life will be a little easier next year. I have been trying to put some markers in with plants, so I won't dig them up accidentally next spring. Some of them, like hostas, come up a little later in the spring and I have a tendency to move things or plant atop other tings if not marked. So I need to make a good map of the yard soon, before I forget all I planted.

My friend wanted me to come visit in Cincinnati but at this point, I doubt I would be much help to him in the shape I am in. He is way behind in his laundry and has a carload of stuff he wants me to have (for my beau) from his brother who died in February.

Not much inspired today, so the collage probably reflects that. For some reason, I wanted a green tanzanite in the middle of my "puzzled effect" part of the collage. In tanzanite, green is a rare color, so I put it in, and I saw a blue tanzanite and then I included it just because I could. And speaking of green, I read (http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/060424_green_blackhole.html)

 that black holes are "green"...earth-friendly, I suppose, and apparently the "interstellar deathray" is earth-friendly too, they say it won't be hitting us, lol: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/060424_mm_star_deathray.html

I love space.com headlines. Time for my new soggy (mailman had a long rainy route today) Newsweek and a nice hot bath...ahhhhh.
