Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

It’s Too Darn Hot!

By Abby at 2:21 pm on Thursday, June 30, 2005

And I was just telling my mom I kinda wanted to dig a cool hole in the ground and sit under the bench, like their dog Annie does:

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MEMPHIS TN HAS ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY. TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES WILL COMBINE WITH DEW POINTS AROUND 70 THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS EASTERN ARKANSAS…MISSOURI BOOTHEEL…EXTREME WEST TENNESSEE AND PORTIONS OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI TO PRODUCE HEAT INDICES FROM 103 TO 107 IN MANY LOCATIONS. A HEAT ADVISORY IS ISSUED WHEN HIGH HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO COMBINE WITH HOT TEMPERATURES TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT IS 105 DEGREES OR GREATER. PERSONS IN THE ADVISORY AREA ARE ADVISED TO AVOID PROLONGED WORK IN SUN, OR IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS. ALSO, KEEP PLENTY OF LIQUIDS ON HAND AND TRY TO STAY IN AN AIR CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT. CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY AND PEOPLE WITH CRONIC AILMENTS ARE USUALLY THE FIRST TO SUFFER FROM THE HEAT. HEAT EXHAUSTION, CRAMPS, OR IN EXTREME CASES HEAT STROKE CAN RESULT FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THESE CONDITIONS. FRIENDS, RELATIVES, OR NEIGHBORS SHOULD CHECK ON PEOPLE WHO MAY BE AT RISK.

I’m wilting. I’m wilting. Oh, what a world. What a world!

The upside is that my little weather pixie is totally stylin’ in her teeny bikini!

Boycott Tom Cruise… Just Because You Can!

By Abby at 11:01 am on Thursday, June 30, 2005

OK, this is a bit juvenile, but I am so sick of Tom Cruise’s narcissism and insane behavior that there’s no WAY I’m going to see that movie. I did it. I signed the petition saying I’m not going. Yeah, it’ll make tons of money. Who cares? I won’t be going. I can’t take another minute of this man. I’ve wasted too much time on his already. Hopefully, you won’t see anymore posts about him here on my blog. I’m going to try to be strong!

TOM… I SURRENDER! emoticon

OK, it’s 1:34am, and I am up for no reason at all. WHY?

Please enjoy the panda, and I will try to get my butt to bed. Deal?

The Silly Follow-Up…

By Abby at 7:29 pm on Wednesday, June 29, 2005

So you’ve read that sermon. Now here’s a different take on using the Bible to argue the legitimacy of homosexuality as a sexual orientation (!)…

A Letter to Dr. Laura

Dear Dr. Laura,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s law. I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with this?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

Lev. 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not Canadians. Can you clarify? I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this?

Lev. 20:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.

Found some follow-up here.
