Housewarming (Post 136)
If you are planning to give someone a good old fashion “Pounding”. (And no this does not mean beating someone to a pulp). Someone you know has just moved into a new home and you want to give them a party, to show off their place. It’s called a “Pounding” because people use to bring a pound of something to help fill the kitchen pantry. Well, here are some traditional housewarming gift ideas to add to your ten cent crazy book.
Bread so you'll never go hungry and your pantry will always be full
Salt for flavor and spice, it represents life’s tears and mends all wounds and a pinch put at the threshold of each door and window will bring good luck
Wine so you'll never be thirsty and always have happiness and joy
Sugar so your life shall always have sweetness
Flour to bring fullness and enrichment
A Broom to sweep away the evil and to always keep your house clean
A Candle so you will always have light
Butter to bring you wealth
Coffee to wake you up each morning
A Coin to bring you good fortune
Honey to bring you a sweet life
A Knife to protect against intruders
A Penny to keep friends from ever being at the end of the knife
Rice for fertility
Peanut Butter to keep you out of sticky situations
Nails to keep you strong
Olive Oil to give you health, light and to keep your husband faithful
Toilet Paper so that all problems with the new home will easily roll away and be solved
A piece of wood so that your life and home will always have stability, harmony and peace
Bless this house as we come and go
Bless this house as the children grow
Bless our families when they gather in
Bless this house with love and friends.
May the roof above us never fall in.
And may the friends gathered below it never fall out

Diet and Figuring Your BMI (Post 132)
Ok, it’s the beginning of a new year and some of you might want to add a diet and how to figure out your BMI (Body Mass Index) to your ten cent crazy book. As for diet, I’ve only ever been on one that I truly liked, it was no carbs, but I could have all the cheese and bacon that I wanted, and every day at lunch, I could have a taco salad consisting of meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and all the sour cream that I wanted. As for a snack I could eat cool whip. Surprise, Surprise, I never lost any weight on this diet and was told that it was not at all healthy, BUT I TRULY LIKED THIS DIET! As for BMI, yes, that’s the thing they do to kids in school now, so that they can tell even the skinniest kid that he’s overweight and needs to exercise more, but for those of you that want these things, here they are.
I recently read about a lady who lost over 100 pounds. She ate a bowl of wheat or oat cereal with milk, twice a day. She could eat all the fruit or veggies that she wanted. She ate either chicken, turkey, steak or fish at meal time, and she ate nuts for a snack and drank water if thirsty. She took a multivitamin every day. She said this cured her high cholesterol, high blood pressure, acid reflex and sleep apnea, and this diet is said to be healthy.
As for figuring out your BMI
Measure your height in inches
Example: if you are 5ft 3in, that’s 63 inches tall
Multiply the inches by it self
Example: 63x63=3969
Now take your weight and divide by your answer
Example: If you weigh 120 pounds, divide 3969 into 120 or 120 divided by 3969 = 0.0302343
Now take this answer and multiply by 703
0.0302343x703=21.254712
Your BMI is 21
Your BMI should be 18.5 to 24.9, if higher then 24.9; “they” say you should see a doctor and lose weight.
My BMI does not fall into this range but I do not plan on seeing a doctor but, as you know already, my favorite diet, does not work.
Any expert weight training person, will tell you that figuring your BMI without knowing how much muscle you have, does not give you a true BMI number, but if figuring out your muscle is anything like figuring out your BMI, I do not think I want to go that far. I think they have machines that you stand on at the gym, to figure out your muscle size. If I ever go to the gym, I will let you know if I see this magic machine.
