“The Times They Are A Changin'”

Come gather ’round people Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters Around you have grown
And accept it that soon You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you Is worth savin’ Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin’.

Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who That it’s namin’
For the loser now Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside And it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land
And don’t criticize What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command
Your old road is Rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.

The line it is drawn The curse it is cast
The slow one now Will later be fast
As the present now Will later be past
The order is Rapidly fadin’
And the first one now Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.

Bob Dylan The Times They are Changing

She May Talk Too Much but She is Funny

Does she talk too much?  Some people say that women talk too much.  This little one does seem to fit that profile.  But does she talk too much?  As a talker from a early age and she certainly implies she has something to say!  This video is so funny!  We know that some babies have a language of their own and sometimes twins can understand each other but I have never heard this much come forth at once!  Wonder what in the world she is talking about and what she needs to be satisfied?

Does she talk too Much?

Do women talk more than men? Proverbs and sayings in many languages express the view that women are always talking:

Women’s tongues are like lambs’ tails – they are never still. –English

The North Sea will sooner be found wanting in water than a woman at a loss for words. –Jutlandic

The woman with active hands and feet, marry her, but the woman with overactive mouth, leave well alone. –Maori

Some suggest that while women talk, men are silent patient listeners.

When both husband and wife wear pants it is not difficult to tell them apart – he is the one who is listening. –AmericanNothing is so unnatural as a talkative man or a quiet woman. –Scottish

Others indicate that women’s talk is not valued but is rather considered noisy, irritating prattle:

Where there are women and geese, there’s noise. –Japanese.

What do you think?  Does she talk too much?

Today is National Cookie Day

Let’s Celebrate!  I started off with just one bite but then I could not help myself and I not only ate the whole cookie, I ate the whole bag!

Its that time of year when all good domestic divas turn to the kitchen to prove their prowess and cookies seem to be the new feather bed as in “Can she make a feather bed, Billy Boy, Billy Boy”?  So in the spirit of Christmas cookies, (not holiday cookies) I thought we should share some of our favorite recipes.

My favorite is so super easy and yet incredibly delicious.  These cookies can be made with chocolate, caramel or peanut butter flavors or a combination of these.  I generally like to make a batch of peanut butter/ caramel and a batch of chocolate/peanut butter. They are surprisingly pretty little tidbits.

Ting a Ling  

1 box Kellogg Corn Flake cereal

2 package 12 oz caramel chips

1 cup peanut butter chips

1 cup peanut butter

Melt chips and peanut butter in microwave.  Mix in corn flakes until coated.  Drop by tablespoons onto wax paper cookie sheet.  Let cool and enjoy!
