28 August FRESH AROMASI hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was o.k. but I worked. I had today off but didn't do anything special. Just the usual stuff like laundry and etc., etc., etc. Will return to work again tomorrow due to them asking me to work on my scheduled day off, so I accepted.
I found this really awesome aroma for your home or car or anywhere you may like a fresh smell. Mine is a small pouch with a string that resembles a "doll" purse.I placed it in my car..and WOW...it works better than anything I have ever tried before. So, I am going to share the link with you, just in case you ever get the "urge" to try it. SMILES. It is called AIRS AROMA PILLARS. I bought the aroma called "Rain". It is called Pillars, which back in my "days" were called coned incense. LOL. You place these 12 "pillars" inside the pouch, close it, and place it wherever you want the fresh aroma smell. I chose my car.
There are 4 elements : AIR, EARTH, FIRE, and WATER. Of course you all know that I am a water lover, hence, I chose the Water Element. Here are some of the fragrances under each element.
AIR: (EAST..ROMANCE)
Alpine Berry......smells like fresh berries.

 ~*~PJ~*~ 24 August What's The BUZZ, You May ASK?When it's really hot, cicadas sing out even louder and prouder! At some point this summer, cicadas moved from backup vocals to headliner.
They are so loud you can be in your car, windows up, air conditioning on freeze, radio blaring, and still hear them. Dogs glance warily at the trees before agreeing to go for a walk! LOL.
It is the MALES making all the noise, accomplished by muscle contractions that vibrate membranes in their abdomens. It is said they're vying for the attention of FEMALES.
Why so many this year?They had a large hatch and absolutely love hot , dry weather. They are one of the most heat-driven insects. This is when they shine the most.
These ear-splitting cicadas are the regular "dog day" varieties, which begin to emerge at the summer solstice and grow in number and voice through the season, finally dwindling at the end of September.
The ones that are here in my area this year are not the "periodical" cicadas, which emerge en masse and on cue every 17 years. The next appearance for those cicadas is set for 2015, and they emerge in May to provide early season sound effects.
Sometimes the dog day cicadas are called "annual" cicadas, a term that is misleading because the do not have a one year life span. They are annual in the sense that we hear them every year, but cicadas spend several years feeding underground before climbing out, sprouting wings and looking for mates. Dog day cicadas may stay below ground for 2 - 4 or so more years, depending on the species.
Presumably, FEMALE cicadas are quite descerning when it comes to sound.
I wrote this entry due to the fact as I was sitting on my deck, sipping my hot tea, and trying to unwind, by listening to the beautiful sound of my Water Garden that I normally do, I noticed that I could NOT hear the soothing sound of the streaming water. So, I got up to see if the filter had clogged up, however when I glanced over toward the water, it was streaming full time. Now I was quite amazed at the loud sound I was hearing, only due to the fact , that I was enjoying it as well. I have impeccable hearing, thus resulting in even louder than usual noise levels that others may NOT hear or notice. At any rate, the Cicadas are here and will be in full force until the Solstice..which , by the way, falls on the day I am to leave for Las Vegas. So, meanwhile I shall take the loud noise that Mother Nature is providing all with and sit back and enjoy it with a smile on my face.
FOOTNOTE...When some people say "locust", they usually mean cicada. When entomologists say "locust" they mean grasshopper.
Ciao for now..These are my thoughts for the day.

ALSO I WANT TO WISH MY FRIEND, Sir WILLIAM, A MOST WONDERFUL VACATION.
During one of her daily classes a teacher trying to teach good
manners, asked her students the following question: "Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?" Michael said, "Just a minute I have to go pee." The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and impolite. >>>>> What about you Peter, how would you say it?" Peter said, "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." "That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table. >>>>> And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?" "I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after dinner." >>>>> >>>>> The teacher fainted. Men strike back! ! ! ! ! ! !
How many men does it take to open a beer? None. It should be opened when she brings it ------------------------------------------------------------------- Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman? Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Why do women have smaller feet than men? It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows them to stand closer to the kitchen sink. ------------------------------------------------------------------- How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart? When she starts a sentence with "A man once told me..." ------------------------------------------------------------------- How do you fix a woman's watch? You don't. There is a clock on the oven. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Why do men fart more than women? Because women can't shut up long enough to build up the required pressure. ------------------------------------------------------------------- If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first? The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in. ------------------------------------------------------------------- What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig? A woman who won't do what she's told ------------------------------------------------------------------- I married a Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes a woman's sex drive by 90%. It's called a Wedding Cake. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Why do men die before their wives? They want to. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy. ------------------------------------------------------------------- In the beginning, God created the earth and rested. Then God created Man and rested. Then God created Woman. Since then, neither God nor Man has rested. ------------------------------------------------------------------ We all know how literally impossible it is to not offend SOMEONE these days, everyone is just SO FREAKING TOUCHY... So this guide will help you on how to speak about the opposite sex in a POLITICALLY CORRECT way...
OK..all....Hope this brought a few smiles or downright "gut busting" laughter. Have a most wonderful day.
Ciao for now.

~*~PJ~*~10 August NATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE DAY**As some of you may or may not know about me is that I enjoy reading the TRAVEL SECTION of the Sunday paper. I found an interesting article which I should have posted last Sunday, however, I did not have the time to do so. I am an avid water lover, hence, my fascination with this article.**
Monday, August the 7th was National Lighthouse Day, set aside by Congress to provide recognition for the nation's lighthouses, to promote the values of safety, heroism and American ingenuity that they represent, and to encourage citizens to rededicate themselves to the protection and restoration of these facilities. National Lighthouse Day was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on November 5, 1988.
Congress approved an act to establish and support lighthouses in 1789. Boston Harbor Light Station is the only remaining light station in the United States that has an official keeper. All other stations are automated.
Grand Traverse Lighthouse is at Leelanau State Park in Northport, Michigan, about 30 miles North of Traverse City. It overlooks lake Michigan from the tip of Leelanau Peninsula. .The History behind this lighthouse is here
The lightouse is open to the public from early April through mid November.
Stefanie Staley, executive director of the Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum, said a few weeks were still availablethis year for volunteer keepers in October and November, but volunteers are already signing up for the 2007 season.
Individuals often volunteer for a week at a time, although the workload is best suited for at least two persons.
Depending on the time of year and their skills, volunteers may also be asked to paint or do minor carpentry work. The paid staff is responsible for mowing lawns, but volunteers trim around the buildings, weed and water flower beds and pick up sticks and other debris in the yard.
The keepers quarters can accomodate up to four adults in two bedrooms. An upstairs bedroom includes a full bath; the downstairs bedroom has a half bath. The living room and kitchen are fully equipped, although volunteer keepers must be bring their own food for the week and must leave the quarters cleaned and ready for the next keepers.
The cost for individuals is $220, couples $440 for the week. Lighthouse members receive a $25 per person discount. (The Lighthouse Keepers program was born when the 92 year old volunteer keeper was no longer able to care for himself or the lighthouse. The $440 fee charged to volunteers is returned to a restoration fund for the lighthouse, which requires about $200,000 a year to maintain.)

~*~PJ~*~08 August FOR JUST ONE KISS POEM
 ~*~PJ~*~05 August How A POET Makes LoveHow A Poet Makes Love
Lightly nipping ear lobes in the shadow of your hair. Holding hands in public, without a single care. Blowing in your ear and nibbling on your neck. Gently probing fingers, going up your back. Softly touching lips and whispering while you breathe. Taking little bites on a finger in your teeth. Bumping with your hips as you swivel with the dance. Giggling with the thought as you strive for more romance. Rubbing on the feet and then firmly grabbing toes. Tracing out an arc on a body in its throes. Waiting for a climax, then more and even then, You'll find I did it all with my ball point pen.
Ciao for now.
