Which worked, the scissors or the prayers? I don't know, but next mishap, I'll try both!

I suggest getting some of those placard holders that show you the table numbers at weddings, substituting cards that read OVER HERE, and having one ready to drop at all tImes. And yes, Himself has Functional Thing-Blindness too. I tell him I am grinding the enamel off my teeth and fixing that will be very costly. This hasn't worked either. So Saint Ant' is on regular retainer in our house. Maybe he likes the food.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-20688975872962659922012-09-06T13:33:49.800-04:002012-09-06T13:33:49.800-04:00Oh yes, I know Saint Anthony very well.

Before responding to his requests I ask whether he has really looked, or just "man looked". Usually it is the latter and a few seconds is all it takes to procure the "lost" item. Well, a few seconds and a derisive look from me. Seems more like a problem with laziness than lost items. Is there a saint for that?xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-60872294071252295232012-09-06T13:05:59.900-04:002012-09-06T13:05:59.900-04:00oops, that's were not we're. autocorrect s...oops, that's were not we're. autocorrect strikes again.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-22892750526703714552012-09-06T13:05:03.281-04:002012-09-06T13:05:03.281-04:00Hello, Hattatts.

An early interest in automotive parts brought him to the attention of a kindly parole officer, who showed him how his talent for noticing which cars were or we're not transiently parked, could've turned to beneficial use, I.e., tips from grateful folk in a hurry. The attribute most commonly depicted is a sign reading OI! OVER 'ERE! which he holds in his right hand whilst beckoning urgently with his left. wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-71554482911182644242012-09-06T12:56:42.464-04:002012-09-06T12:56:42.464-04:00Hi, Dani, it continue to amaze me about how many o...Hi, Dani, it continue to amaze me about how many of the early stories of saints ant holy experience relate to food, whether by miraculous provision or by denial.

Clearly they will no longer be the subject of religious art, rather perhaps appearing within the pages of 'Hello' magazine which is, we understand from a headline seen this week is to go 'up market' and no longer concern itself with a celebrity culture.

I just wrote it down, I'll get my daughter to recite it when she is looking for the next thing she loses track of. She's a little scattered, much like her father.<br />I love to read about Saints. If I could choose a magic saintly power it would be to feed the starving, hunger is such a misery in our world.<br />You've inspired me to get out my Saint books, and good timing too as we are back to Church (and Sunday School) this weekend.<br />Thanks for the lovely post Fred.DaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.com
