I hate disaster movies...but honestly, I'm really really picky about movies. I watch them to escape...and if I watch something intense it eats at me for days. Seriously LOL. I just can't do that. I watch comedies, or old tv shows, or mysteries.
I just can't do the disasters or the heavy dramas.

I haven't looked at the links yet, but that sounds so sad--for little kids to be branded as witches and abandoned by their families. Wow. That is certainly not Christian. If indeed there is any truth to the idea that certain kids are witches (Africa is far more aware of the spirit world than we are in North America), the Christian thing would be to drive out the evil spirits. That's what Jesus did. And often he didn't wait to be asked about cases like this--think of the madman of Gadarenes--he just went ahead and commanded the evil spirits to leave.

I should have read the articles first.
The so-called pastors are claiming to drive out the demons (or at least try to) but what is described in the Telegraph article is horrendous and simply wrong. Slashing with knives? Buring them alive? Every night for two weeks? And for a price that holds the children captive until it is paid? Simon the Sorcerer was condemned for wanting to buy the power that Paul wielded. To charge for setting anyone free from the grip of Satan, never mind charging exhorbitant fees that no one can pay, is so wrong. Their symptoms of what a witch is is also ludicrous--as the article said, they are symptoms many, many children will have in an impoverished area. God, help these children! The practitioners of this evil should have done to them all they have done or encouraged to be done to every child they have so branded.

It's so stinking hot and humid here!!! Anyone ever try to cook and egg on the sidewalk? I may do this today or tomorrow.  I do have a pool, but the air was so bad think yesterday that it seemed hard to breath. Praise God for air conditioning.
That sounds yucky. We're supposed to be 102 today.
Yahoo claims it was 105 here today. It felt like at least that.

Wow, Stovie! That's almost unbelievable! He may not have any physical injuries but I wonder what this will do to his psyche. I can see him being very afraid of cars coming toward him as a result. I wonder what God has in mind for this little tyke, that he spared him so well.

I do hope his parents had the wisdom to take him to the hospital once they found out he'd been hit. Just because he walked away doesn't mean there couldn't be any internal injuries.
For those of you in warmer climes, I need some advice. How do you dress when you'll be out all day in 90-degree weather, 95% humidity, and threat of thundershowers? It's too hot for rainboots and a rain coat, but if it rains, it'll rain too hard for anything but rainboots and a coat.
I take the bus to work and I'm already loaded down with gym clothes, homework and textbooks, and my lunch, so there's no room for extra clothes. I've never been able to figure this one out.

I have one of those raincoats that fold down into a pouch. Yes, I know it's something else to carry (I have to use the bus and/or walk everywhere too) but it generally does the job.

That's pretty much my plan. Also asked DH to pack sandals for me since we have music practice together tonight, just in case my feet are soaked.
The last time I got caught out in a deluge of a summer storm, the umbrella was completely useless; but then, that storm was so bad that anything but hip waders would have been useless. I had a very uncomfortable bus ride home, and we had to cancel a test drive of a car because I was too soaked! Which turned out fine because the power got knocked out at the dealership. I think of that day every time I hear about a summer rainstorm coming.

Wet does NOT have to be cooler.
In Okinawa...the wet just made the heat suck more. It would still be 90 degrees...but then it would be sopping wet too.

Nope.
Mine expired 3 weeks after I gave birth and I was not about to admit what I weighed at that point

Nope. When I went in the lady said that there was no way that I weighed as much as it said on my previous license. It said 150 and I was up to nearly 200. She said that 150 was more believable for my build. Hey, who am I to argue?

I can't believe all these IDs list your weight. I mean, what earthly purpose does it serve if a) they don't enforce the accuracy of the weight and b) it's subject to change by the time you renew it again? I don't think they should weight people or anything, but why not just remove the reference? It doesn't help you prove that you're you; the photo does a better job at that (hopefully).
Although my work ID looks absolutely nothing like I do, so that doesn't always do the job either!

It helps to give an idea of the person's build. A lot of times if someone witnesses a robbery and the robber escapes the police will ask for a physical description. The witness might say that the person looked like they were 5'5" and 125 lbs. This gives the police some idea of what the person looks like.
If I need to show my ID for something and it says that I weigh 250 lbs, hopefully the person checking my ID will catch that and question it.
I don't view it as discrimination to ask for my weight as part of a document describing my physical identification. Now, if my weight prevents me from gettting most types of jobs, that is discrimination.

I'm not sure I view it as discriminatory, but I do find it odd that it's put on a very permanent piece of ID. I don't know how often you have to get new photos for renewal of licences in the US, but in Canada it's at least as long as five years; maybe more, I can't remember. You can lose or gain a significant amount of weight in that time. Put that together with licencing clerks who are willing to blur the truth a bit, and it's not a very accurate identifier in my opinion.
I have no idea why it isn't on Canadian licences though. Maybe it's because everybody here weighs themselves in lbs and has no idea what they weigh in metric! They had to measure me for the height because I didn't know my height in metric.
