Friendly Fill Ins 1 December 2017 Merry Christmas

This is a fun meme co-hosted by 15 and Meowingand McGuffy's Reader. Be sure to visit and join in the fun!

Here are the fill-ins:

1. I can’t believe cigarettes are still sold.

When I was younger, my family had a small Western Auto store in Iva, South Carolina.  We sold cigarettes starting out at 3 packs for 80¢.  Way back then (1974), everyone knew that cigarettes were bad for you. Still, big tobacco is a thriving business.

From time to time the government plays at trying to reduce tobacco consumption.  One of the first pieces of legislation Obama signed into law was a tobacco reform bill  Taxes were raised on tobacco and the government decided that tobacco companies could not use the words “mild” or “light” in the name or description of cigarettes. I don’t know of anyone who quit or even cut back due to the new tax or the name changes.  Do you?

2. I have never been on Craigslist.

I have heard several stories where people were lured to their deaths by people on Craigslist.  I know that is not the norm.  I just don’t need anything bad enough to want to go there.

3. Going into December, the weather outside is cold for Texas.

We don’t usually get this cold.  The weather right now is between the 40s and 80s. Next Thursday night it is supposed to dip down to 38.

These kind of lows are not normal for Texas.  We did have an actual snow on Christmas the first year we were here.

4. My current weakness is cheese.

I love me some cheese.  I love cheese puffs, mac and cheese, pimento cheese, you name it.  From time to time, I will ask Suzanne to put some cheddar cheese in a bowl and zap it in the microwave to melt it for me. I love it this way.  

Thank you for all the prayers.  I am going to spend very little time on the computer so that I can be good and keep my foot propped up like my doctor told me.  Tuesdays with Gindy auto posts every Tuesday and it has posts up through the end of January.  How to Manage Your Monkey has auto posts every Thursday up through December 7.  

We will be traveling about 30 miles each way to the hospital every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for a while.  We don’t know how long that will be and we don’t know how we will afford to pay for the gas.  But, God knows and He has this.  Money will come from somewhere.  

I think God decided to sideline me for a while so He could show that He is the one who is going to make us reach our goal of 1,000 YouTube subscribers by the end of December.  We are currently up to 61 subscribers.  This is a big improvement from where we started.

Please keep us in your prayers.
