- Nelson Mandela, civil rights icon, former president of South Africa Letting go of a Grudge. We have all at one time or another been hurt by the actions or words of someone haven’t we? You’ve heard the term “Holding a Grudge against someone?” but do you realize you are doing more harm in the long run to yourself by doing this? Why do we get so bitter towards someone who’s done us wrong? Well probably because it’s been someone we’ve been close to and trust. These feelings can grow and grow if you don’t deal with them. The longer you continue on this path the worse it is for YOU and the harder it becomes to deal with. Conflict requires emotional energy. It will trigger the fight or flight response in people. When this happens the body pumps adrenalin into the bloodstream. Which in itself is no biggie but if it continues over weeks or months, that’s when it does become a big deal. Your body is interpreting this as stress now or even a trauma and it’s kicking your immune system into high gear now. So let’s see what can happen with that.. You are continually pumping this adrenaline around in your body.. Your immune system is in high gear and running around like a chicken with its head cut off and it’s missing important things that maybe going on with your body. It’s been said that stress left unchecked can contribute to the advancement of cancer. See… things like cancer are advanced quickly as are other things by viruses that are allowed to run wild because the immune system has been to busy looking after stress to do it’s job properly. Stress also depletes your body of things like calcium and magnesium. That can lead to aches and pains (arthritis),poor sleeping habits, depression and the list goes on. Buy holding that grudge you are really screwing up your system. Some illnesses are completely due to you dwelling on the bad things.. You are turning your body on itself and it’s going into self destruct mode. Grudges are really, really bad things for your heart. Think of what happens when you get angry about something. What happens? Your heart beats faster and your blood pressure goes up.. This isn’t a good thing when it’s happening over a period of time, is it? Plus.. it can give you wrinkles too! Though I’d be a bit more concerned about the heart rather than the frown lines. The bitterness can be drawn into other areas of your life too. How often have you been mad about one thing and snapped at someone who had nothing to do with any of it but they just happen to ask you something or try to tell you something while you were focused in on something else completely unrelated. (Breath here *L*) By holding all this inside you are on a downward spiral. It will creep into corners of your life and the more corners it creeps into the more places you are going to have to clean up. No one likes doing that much housekeeping so it’s time to get control of it all and start to forgive. So.. What do you do about this? Does forgiving someone mean you condone what they’ve done to you? Hell No. Remember you are doing more harm to yourself than you will ever do to the person that wronged you so in actuality by forgiving someone’s transgressions you are helping yourself to be a happier healthier person. That can’t be a bad thing can it? Realize that buy forgiving someone you are doing this for YOUR benefit and those around you too.. Think of it as a diet.. It’s not that we like to diet but sometimes we have to for our health. What does a diet require you to do? Cut out some of the things that are bad for you or cut down on them. They can eventually be slowly entered back into your diet once you get control of your eating habits but you may find you just don’t want to put them back because you are happier and healthier with out them there. Who knows, you might find you tolerate them quite well in small portions. Change your eating habits. Change your patterns beliefs and actions about that food/person. One thing to remember is you are trying to change your actions not the other person's. The other person may continue to behave the same as always. If that’s the case you just have to take them out of your healing process entirely. You’re doing this for you remember? Grudges are destructive, dangerous and it usually ends up hurting more than just the life of the one person who allows the stress to continue. Life is far too short to sweat the small stuff. Take care of yourself. Kim
The following photo came to us from Loo who recently came back from a visit to Ireland. Seems they actually have to warn folks about these things *S*.
Thanks for the chuckle Loo!
Symbols have been a central part of wedding ceremonies for centuries and even though couples may not know the folk lore behind them, we find that these symbols are used in just about every wedding ceremony today. Can you imagine a wedding without a white bridal dress, a wedding band or flowers? Let’s see where some of these traditions come from. It is said that bridal showers held before the wedding are thanks to a Dutch maiden whose father disapproved of her choice to marry a miller who was poor from giving flour away to the less fortunate. When her father refused to give his daughter a dowry, her friends and neighbors showered her with gifts so she could marry her true love. The flowing white wedding gown is a relatively modern convention from nineteenth-century England. Before Victorian times, women wore their "Sunday best" dresses, which were generally light blue, lilac, rose or pale blue. When Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in 1839, her wedding attire set a new standard for western bridal wear for more than 165 years since. She chose a dress made of rich white satin trimmed with orange blossoms. Thereafter, white gowns have epitomized the look of the traditional bride. And of course the wedding dress can not be seen by the groom before the bride enters the church because it is unlucky for the couples happiness. According to tradition the bride’s face should be covered by a veil that the father of the bride must lift at the alter. This is claimed to have come from when girls were veiled because of arranged marriages. The bride was only unveiled after the official engagement to ensure that the bride was not rejected due to physical defects! The betrothal ring goes back to many different cultures. The ring being a circle has no end which stands for eternal love shared by two people. Double ring ceremonies did not become fashionable until World War II, as the ring became a tangible link to home for young husbands posted overseas. And one reason why the third finger of the left hand remains the finger of choice for the ring is that according to lore a vein from that finger, aptly named vena amoris, leads directly to the heart. It was felt that putting a ring on that finger would keep love from escaping the body. Of course the most common of all traditions, that has lasted over a century is the four items every bride wants to have on her wedding day. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Old represents family support, new is for future success, borrowed symbolizes happiness for the couple and blue represents faithfulness. These are just some of the meanings to traditional customs that we still have in wedding ceremonies today. But every country and culture has their own traditions that have been taken from tales and lore going back centuries. Hannah
You can save energy and money with the new Compact Florescent light bulbs that are on the store shelves these days. I’m sure we’re all are into saving a bit of cash. Here are a few things you should know about these bulbs.
Regular light bulbs or incandescent bulbs heat a filament inside the bulb. A florescent bulb contains a gas that produces invisible ultraviolet light when the gas is excited by electricity. The UB light hits the white coating inside the fluorescent bulb and the coating changes it to light you can see. Fluorescent bulbs do not use heat to create light as to incandescent bulbs do so this is what makes them more energy efficient. They make CFL bulbs for all types of uses but you must check the packaging when buying them for things like Dimmer switches, tri-light lamps, ceiling fans, what have you. Also check to see if the bulbs you are buying come with a warranty. The warranty on the ones I researched was for 2 years and would be void if say you used a regular CFL bulb in a dimmer socket. This shortens the life span of a regular bulb. Check your package! Get the right bulb for the right job. If you’re wondering how the wattage compares to regular bulbs here’s a quick reference.
Some CFL bulbs will flicker when you first turn them on. This is because it takes a few moments for the Ballast in them to produce enough electricity to excite the gas inside. The CFL bulbs require a bit of a warm up time ( about 3 minutes) before they are at their maximum brightness. This is why you will think they aren’t as powerful as a regular bulb but wait a bit and you’ll see the difference. The bulbs are at their best used in fixtures that are left on for long periods of time; at least 15 minutes or longer. Constantly switching them on and off in short intervals will shorten the life of the bulb. So if You have teenagers put ‘em everywhere! They never turn lights off! Now the one thing you should know. CFL bulbs contain a bit of mercury. An average of 5 milligrams (roughly equivalent to the tip of a ball-point pen). Mercury is an essential, irreplaceable element in CFLs and is what allows the bulb to be an efficient light source. By comparison, older home thermometers contain 500 milligrams of mercury and many manual thermostats contain up to 3000 milligrams. It would take between 100 and 600 CFLs to equal those amounts. If you break a bulb don’t call in a Hazmat team. If it burns out and you have to dispose of it best not to toss it in the garbage. Same holds true for those big florescent bulbs and your thermostats if they have mercury in them. Check in your area to see where you can dispose of hazardous waste and take the bulbs there. Pack them in plastic first. If a bulb breaks, sweep it up don’t vacuum. Once you’ve swept use a wet paper towel and wipe up the floor. Unless of course it’s broken on your carpet then you’ll have to vacuum. Just open a window if you have concerns. Another suggestion if you don’t know where to dispose of the bulb is to get a big old pickle jar and drop the bulb in there. Put the lid on it and stick it your recycle bin till you find where you can drop it off. Do NOT burn them. Burning them does release mercury into the air. It is minimal but let’s face it we don’t need more released into our environment. If you are unsure where your waste disposal sites are you can check this website for locations in your area http://earth911.org/ or call 1-877-EARTH911 for local disposal options. Apparently IKEA stores take back used CFLs, and other retailers are currently exploring take back programs. Call stores first. ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs have a two-year warranty. If the bulb fails within the warranty period, return it to your retailer. Check your power company pages! Some companies offer rebates and have coupons for buying these bulbs. You’ll save even more!
I don’t know if you are like me but I seldom read the inserts in my hydro bills unless of course I’m opening mail in the bathroom.. and let’s face it.. you read one shampoo bottle you’ve read ‘em all.. in English and in French here in Canada *L*.. You miss out on things sometimes. For instance. I just went and checked our Manitoba Hydro’s website to see about light bulb rebates because they have offered them in the past. They even gave out free bulbs at one point! Well don’t I find out I can get a 25 dollar rebate on a new freezer and a 100 rebate on a new washing machine! Check out what our power company offers and check yours! I hope this information has been useful to ya’ll. Get out there and try out some of these new bulbs.. Lord knows you’ll need some extra cash for the rising cost of gasoline! If you’re interested in living Green visit us at RoseWillow’s Green Space! Post in the forum some of your Green living tips! See you there.
Sometimes when I offer someone one of my homebrewed ales I get the comment, “I prefer lagers.” When I inquire a little further about their tastes I find that what they like are beers that are light in color and low in hop bitterness. While this may fit a few styles of lagers, it’s by no means the full gamut of what’s available. Appearance alone is no reliable way to tell a lager from an ale. To begin our discussion we need to really define what makes a beer lager and what makes beer ale. The short answer is yeast. Yeast strains for beer are divided into two distinct categories. There are top fermenting strains and bottom fermenting strains. Sacchromyces cerivisae is a top fermenting ale yeast and Sacchromyces carlbergensis (also called Sacchromyces pastorianus) is a bottom fermenting lager yeast. There are a few other types, but for the purpose of this discussion we’ll remain with these two broad categories. Keeping in mind that beer has been brewed by humans for thousands of years, it follows that these base strains have been cultivated and harvested to bring out certain properties. Often these different strains are regional in nature and sometime a given region will breed several strains. As a result, there are literally hundreds of each kind and they all give their properties to the brew in question. There is some overlap between different strains, but on average lager yeasts are fermented at a lower temperature than ale yeasts. In addition to the lower fermenting temperatures, lagers go through a process called lagering. This is just a fancy term for keeping the beer at temperatures just above freezing for an extended period of time. By fermenting at a lower temperature, lagers avoid the higher fusel alcohols that are present in some ales. The lagering process also produces a cleaner profile that is the signature of Pilsners and Marzens (Octoberfests). So now that we’ve established what makes a lager, what about appearance? As I said at the beginning of the article many people tend to think of lagers as very clear and light in appearance. This is likely because of popular commercial products such as Budweiser, Labatt’s, and Coors. These manufacturers produce mainly American Light Lagers but if one were to browse the shelves at a fine beer shop, one would likely find a Boch or two or maybe even a Schwarzbier, both of which are very dark in color and still very much lagers. In fact, there are many types of Boch and they usually refer to dark, malty German lagers that were developed in Munich and based on the Einbeck style. But that’s another story. PROST! Watch this month for Joe's Bar Book! He's opening up his little brown book to everyone! You'll even be able to add to it! Joe will post an announcement as soon as it's ready for viewing keep an eye out. No pun intended Iggy sorry.
DIVERSE ED Edna McPherson of Dildo, Newfoundland writes: “My husband was listening to a baseball game on the radio, and drove right through a stop-sign!”.
This raises the ever-dangerous spectre of the distracted driver.
There’s a plain old stop-sign just down from me, which is surrounded by so many 4-way-stops, that some will stop there without having to; and others will go, on a brief hesitance, as if their due. While they may indeed slow traffic, especially at busy times, the 4-way-stop seems to me as much a hazard as a blessing. While rolling-stops are the norm in quiet times, the 4-ways cause great back-up in high-traffic hours. Then, hesitance rules: some not having noticed who has the right-of-way, and others on the lookout for those who aggressively assume it. I’ve never run through a stop-sign, though a friend of mine backed-over a mailbox once. I can certainly understand your husband’s frustration – why ARE there so many Dodger games in the radio, and sure, he’s ACES next to Joe Buck or the moronic Tim McCarver, but Vin Scully isn’t really the bees’ knees of broadcasters. He’s no Ernie Harwell, that’s for sure - although just what the heck is up with the Tigers this year baffles me. I don’t mind the Sunday night ESPN TV guys, Jon Miller and Joe Morgan, though my active-favorite baseball announcer remains Skip Caray. But as Edith underscores, attention and vigilance are crucial!

Have you been over to the RoseWillow Arts & Crafts Guild yet?
Is Tammy! We’d like to introduce everyone to another one of our amazing crafters  here at RoseWillow. Tammy! A few things you may or may not know about our Tammy is that she is a volunteer with the fire dept. and has been an EMT for 23 years. Apart from her arts and crafts she also throws the Shot Put and Discus in the Empire State Games. This is something she loved to compete in, in High School.
We asked Tammy a few questions. Let’s hear about more about her talents. RWACGW: What is your main art of craft or do you have many??
Tammy: I would say I am a multi-talented crafter....and very modest.....LOL.....with a good sense of humor.
Today (5/20) at our meeting it was decided to have our party in Sept......whew......now I have a reprieve and can get my gardening done! Today I roto-tilled the Dahlia beds. We have 2 curb planters in front of our business that we plant every year. Our town had it's Bicentennial in 1984 and that was the 1st year we had curbs so it has been 24 years. I get sooooo many compliments....and I am always trying to give the tubers away. I sat on the porch Sunday for at least an hour separating them and I must have about 200. They just keep multiplying!
Tammy:As far as sewing goes my Paternal Grandmother is who taught me. I had to be about 12 and I learned on her Singer Featherweight sewing machine. It is the one thing that I have now that was hers. It still works but I don't use it to sew.
RWACG: Where do you get most of your ideas?
Tammy: Magazines, going to quilt shows. RWACG: Where do you get most of your supplies? Tammy: Jo-Ann Fabrics and there are many quilt shops around.. RWACG: Do you find that it’s an expensive craft? For instance if someone had the interest to do a quilt would their initial outlay be a lot of money? Is there a quickie way to make a quilt for a beginner? Tammy: Start off small. Make a wall hanging and get the hang of it. Some people have started full quilts and then never get them finished......and yes....I have some tops that have never been finished.....YET. There really isn’t anything quick about Quilting. *LOL*
TAMMY: No....but one of the groups is raffling off a quilt that we made with the proceeds going to a Domestic Violence Shelter. RWACG: Approximately what would the finish cost of one of them be? Tammy: Oh I have no idea.....it depends on the size.....I would be afraid to really figure the cost. RWACG: Have you ever taught your craft? Tammy: We have little within the group workshops and yes I have taught some of those.
Tammy: I have never competed. I have had quilts shown in shows but it was for show only. RWACG: Your crafting area.. Do you set up at the kitchen table or do you have a designated area in your home? Tammy: It used to be the Dining room table.....but now after some renovations AFTER the kids moved out I now have a sewing/laundry room. RWACG: I know go all out at Halloween can you tell us a bit about that? Tammy: OK....Halloween. I LOVE Halloween. I am not into demons and scary stuff. What I love to see is the faces of the kids when they look in and are just awestruck. My kids are all grown-up and out of the house so we don't get trick or treaters at our house. I would volunteer to go down to our volunteer fire station to hand out candy because I liked seeing all the costumes. It then turned into some of us dressing up and now it has become a themed event. This year I hope to create an under the sea...we'll see.....perhaps SpongeBob Square pants will be there.....it depends on who I can talk into wearing the costume. Over the years there has been: haunted scarecrows, haunted soccer field (I was the Soccer Ball Mom), we had the Wedding of Frank and Wife, The Wizard of Oz (and yes I made the Dorothy dress for my daughter to wear and glued 2000 sequins to a pair of red shoes), Tiki Bar, and for the life of me I can't remember what we did last year. Thank you Tammy for taking the tie to tell us about yourself and your crafts. Everything is just lovely.

ARIES:
This is certainly the time to build greater freedom and independence into your life, but whether a radical break from your current involvements will succeed or not is difficult to say. If you gamble in a risky manner, you will probably lose. Also, you may be tempted to drop some of your commitments; this will eventually prove to be an unwise decision. You certainly must break free now, but you can do it in a way that will not leave others who depend on you hanging, wondering where you are. On the other hand, if you are generally a cautious or timid person, you may find all kinds of reasons why you shouldn't loosen up and break free now.
Gemini: Your intuition is now able to probe to greater levels of sensitivity, and you can become almost compulsively driven by a particular style of art, music, religion, or culture. Although these interests may seem idiosyncratic and not very important, they are, in fact, very important to your inner development and you should pursue your intuitions with intensity. This astrological influence is a positive one and the biggest problem with it is simply that you may brush off your colorful and powerful intuitions and imaginative inspirations as silly or unimportant.. Cancer: During this time period you are more tolerant, forgiving, and generous than usual. You feel good about yourself and are usually in a cheerful mood. Domestic life and family matters are particularly important to you now, and you are likely to spend a great deal of time with family and close friends. You may also decide to make some kind of home improvement - perhaps fixing up or expanding your home, or landscaping. You could move to a larger home or to a place where you feel happier and more at home. The nurturing side of you is highlighted, and you enjoy helping others, cooking, and baking. Leo: This is a positive time when you express your deepest feelings openly and intensely. You seek intensity in your life and in your relationships, and you become more aware of hidden sides of your personality, untapped talents and interests, and also emotional blocks or confusions. Underlying motives come to the surface and relationships become deeper and more meaningful. Although this process is natural and occurs with no effort on your part, you can do much to enhance this process by courageously taking advantage of opportunities to better understand yourself and others. Virgo: During this time period you are planning big things for the future. You become excited about an idea that promises much greener pastures for you. Your enthusiasm and optimism are so strong that it is difficult for you to realistically evaluate the situation. If others question or doubt your plan, you quickly brush their concerns aside, as you pursue a grander vision. Hopefully, you have done your homework or else your grand dream can go up in smoke. This is an excellent time to spread your wings, to travel and visit new places. You may read something that causes you to view life in a very different light. Libra: Your daily routine and personal habits are very positive, healthy, and productive at this time. You are able to keep your house in order, accomplish all of your chores, and get your life in good working order. You are likely to make many minor repairs and improvements in your home, land, tools, etc. You catch up on general maintenance and tidy things up. Your life feels secure and you feel good about yourself. You feel comfortable with your current situation, and you are emotionally stable, calm, and contented. Your overall judgment and discrimination are good, and you are able to make wise decisions and provide good advice to others. Scorpio: Reorganizing priorities and re-evaluating goals, objectives, and aspirations are key issues now. You are likely to encounter some obstacles to your goals that cause you to question your overall direction in life and how you can better reach your goals. This is a time when you formulate a new "strategy" or at least a major modification to your current plan. This is a time when college students change their majors, people in the business world seek new markets for their product or change their product line, and scientists decide to try a new experimental design, research method, or technique. In one way or another, you see the limits of your current approach and you make changes in it now. Sagittarius: An opportunity may come to you, or you may become aware of an alternative route to reaching your goals. You are likely to meet with resistance from other people, and competitors or domineering people may try to squelch any move you make. You may also form an alliance with an older or more experienced individual whose experience can aid you as well. So be careful in your work-related relationships as a stressful combination of both good and bad developments can seriously affect the course of your career. Avoid associations with individuals who may try to dominate or restrict you later. Capricorn: You have strange desires, impulses, and feelings which are difficult to describe or understand. Your usual daily pursuits seem drab, meaningless, or curiously unsatisfying, so that it may be difficult to motivate yourself and focus on your work. On the other hand, you can get very fired up about something out of the ordinary, an ideal or dream, or fantasy that you usually consider too impractical to actually do anything about. Your imagination is very active. Artistic, creative work which expresses a visionary, whimsical, or fantastic quality is very fulfilling to you at this time. Aquarius: If you have been thinking about relaxing and taking it easy during this time period, you probably should rearrange your plans. This is a time when there is much that needs to be done. Trying to run from these responsibilities will not work as you will not be able to forget about them. Try not to become emotionally depressed or angry because of the demands. It is best to take a positive attitude to the work that needs to be done and realize that there will be other times for more expansive, pleasurable activity. Although this is a difficult time, there can be some benefits. Pisces: This is a time period of gradual maturing of your attitudes and overall approach to life. You become more in tune with your inner needs and tendencies, and you make changes that allow you to spend more time doing the things that you really enjoy and that you instinctively are attracted to, rather than what serves your more worldly ambitions, needs for security, and what appeals to you as the logically correct thing to do. You are willing to sacrifice some benefits in order to live a life that suits your temperament and interests now. This attitude is very wise and you can make great strides in getting your life on track. You are more in tune with your instincts and your life tends to come into alignment with your inner nature. Consequently you feel more contented, more "in your own element", and more creative. -Deborah Browning

Right at the moment my project that I am working on is a quilting challenge. At Christmas one of the quilt groups I go to (I belong to 3) we exchange fabrics. It is usually a 6" square and the challenge is to use a piece of each of the fabrics you receive to make something. This year's fabrics (21 of them) have a Christmas/Winter theme to it so I am making an appliqué wall hanging. I searched and printed coloring sheets on the internet to find and use as patterns......and they were free! Somewhere I have a picture of my last year's challenge project. We had used Beach/Summer materials.
The revealing party was scheduled for June 10th so I have been frantically working on it every chance I had. I have been bringing them with me while waiting for appointments and the most unusual place was to bring them with me to work on while standing by with the ambulance. I can not stand to NOT being doing something.
Somehow I have digressed from quilting....but I did bring 30 of them to quilting this morning and gave them away.
RWACG: Do you sell your crafts if so where?
RWACG: Have you ever won any competitions with your craft?
Tammy has also sent us some photo’s of some cakes she’s makes too! She truly is a Crafter for all occasions!!
