Food Allergy Peeps Listen up!

I realize that Martha Stewart is not everyone's fave person in the world...but you have to admit she's a big name in the home decorating, magazine, etc. world. Anyway, she has a company-wide The Big Idea competion going on. Employees are putting out ideas for new products, new avenues to sprout off on...and one of them is a FOOD ALLERGY-CENTERED MAGAZINE!!

Apparently, Martha Stewart narrowed the ideas done to about 7, I think. Now, she has an open vote going on, located at her blog. I voted and it is currently in the lead with over 50% of the votes!!!
WOOT!

Stop by the blog and take a look...voting would be good too! lol
The voting is open until 2/7/08.

The Big Idea Vote

btw, here's my comment...which is in mod mode right now...we'll see if it shows up. lol

"I love the idea of a food allergy-centered magazine!

I have a milk allergy...I can't have ANY milk proteins. I love to watch the Food Network, but everything seems to include some dairy component...from buttah, buttah, buttah...to heavy cream, or some sort of cheese!!!

I still consider cheese a Food Group...and mourn it's loss in my diet. So watching the Food Network or getting Paula Dean's Magazine just borders on the twisted!
O.O

Anyway, it would be wonderful to have a major source in the business to acknowledge these allergy problems and offer a resource to help cope with them.

Thank you, Alexis, for putting the idea forth for all of us in Allergy-laden Land!'

In Memorium

“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.” Eskimo Proverb

One of my patients died today. An elderly man who was loved much by his family. His wife was waiting alone in the dayroom for her family to arrive. It had already been a couple of hours since he had gone before her. I stopped to talk to her, and she told me a few of things. One: He knew today was the day. Two: They were married 56 years. Three: She knew he was in a better place for he had been in pain for the last 4 months. And a few other things too.

All the while, as I watched her face, I thought...even knowing in your head all these things, I can see your heart is breaking.

I saw pain, death, and grief today...but I also saw love, grace and courage.

Never let a day go by without telling those who matter to you how much they mean to you.

I Will Be Free - Cindy Morgan The mountains are steep And the valleys low Already I'm weary But I have so far to go Oh, and sorrow holds my hand And suffering sings me songs But when I close my eyes I know to whom I belong Who makes me strong I will be free I will be free to run the mountains I will be free Free to drink from the living fountain Oh, I'll never turn back 'Cause He waits for me Oh, I will be free A wise man, a rich man In pauper's clothes A shepherd to lead us Through the land of woes Though many battles I have lost So many rivers yet to cross But when my eyes behold the Son Who bore my loss, who paid the cost I will be free I will be free to run the mountains I will be free Free to drink from the living fountain Oh, I'll never turn back 'Cause He waits for me Oh, I will be free Oh, and I'll dance on silver moonlight And I'll walk through velvet fields Oh, and I'll run into the arms The arms that set me free I will be free I will be free to run the mountains I will be free Free to drink from the living fountain Oh, I'll never turn back 'Cause He waits.... I'll never turn back Don't you ever turn back Because someday, someday we're gonna see We will be free

So I'm paranoid...wha? o.O

Ok...fyi: I'm still a little paranoid on the net. I always want to be sure no one can find me...but I think technology has made that point moot.

But I feel the need to try.

Also, I don't like posting in multiple places...so this place, myspace, etc., have gone by the wayside for the most part.

I like to use LiveJournal. If you want to follow me there and be friended, please do so.

I got an idea from someone else to start a Scrapbook for 2008. So please feel free to take a look.

OY!! damn...I can't get it work....I give up...
go to myspace....i have it working there! O.O

Evanescence - call me when you're sober

I swear that Hottie's a Brother!!!! Look at those eyes!!! O.O

Wow...ya know....their threads would make great Halloween costumes!!!

Want to add my avi to the blog....trying to follow the blog's multiple directions!!

let's hope it works!

edit:tryin...tryin...*cogwheels still turning*

I like to read paranormal romances, and paranormal stuff in general. I have a livejournal, and like to post at the BDB forum...
