Do you know what I think is funny?
I think it’s funny when people with voice and power
demand
that
the very people they’ve silenced
speak for them….
It’s just a thing that seems to happen every
once and awhile.

Consider The Twilight Zone
It was much more then it appeared to be.
( below is a link to a great NPR interview with Marc Zicree, author )
Guess What This Is?
WRONG!
It’s a CAKE!
It’s Kitty Litter Cake and I got the Recipe and Picture from
So give it a try….it’s YUMMY.
Ingredients:
1 German chocolate cake mix
1 white cake mix
1 large pkg vanilla instant pudding mix
1 pkg vanilla sandwich cookies
Green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls
1 NEW kitty litter pan
1 NEW plastic kitty litter pan liner
1 NEW Pooper Scooper
Directions:
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using 5. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. (Mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don’t want it soggy. Combine gently).
Line new, clean kitty litter box. Put mixture into litter box. Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top.
Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top. (This is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.) Heat 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around.

I’m Laughing On The Inside
When this book first came out, some smarty- pants at my local bookstore put it in the Self Help section.
SOME PEOPLE
Boo God!
Where have I been?
Funny One God.
Let’s Get to it, shall we?
So God, I was surfing the net for Halloween stuff and I kept running across these stories about Christians wanting to ” take Halloween back ” or asking if they should celebrate it at all.”
Here’s the short answer.
No.
Okay God?
Just in case that’s not clear enough here’s the long answer:
No! No! No!
I don’t go into church and make everybody in there read Stephen King and I don’t make the Congregation dress up like zombies or ghouls for Sunday Services and I happen to think that some of those Church songs are nice so I would never make them sing those ” Haunted Favorites ” with the sound effects in the background ( let’s face it though, I bet more people would go if ….never mind ) Okay…so tell them alright? I mean, don’t they have to listen to you? Isn’t that in the rule book Bible somewhere?
Yeah…I thought so.
Now the second thing I want to chat about are these Wonker Heads that sent me hate mail just because I believe in Human Rights.
I know they’re your children God and you love them- probably in the same way I loved that Cyclops Kitten. It was so deformed and helpless and must have been so afraid that you just couldn’t not care about it.
But Christ, could you make sure they use spell check? Like if one of these er, individuals, take the time to write me a letter and threaten me the very least you could make them do is run spell check so that the fake name those Chuckle-Heads use is spelled right.
Yeah, okay it is funny but still.
And forgive me God because in the spirit of Halloween I told someone an Urban Legend was a true story even though I knew it wasn’t.
Which one?
It was the one about the woman who goes to Mexico and after she gets back this boil on her face pops open and hundreds of baby spiders crawl out.
Hey, don’t get all Godly on me, the person I messed lost her last brain cell to bleach about 30 years ago and she always calls me ” Sen-your-eada “
She knows I don’t like her, so why she asked me about this one is weird. I’m guessing it’s because ” Sen-your-eada Ahneeeedah ” ( as she likes to call me) looks like one of them ” Mexican People ” and she probably thinks I’d know all about Mexican Infestations “
Hear My Prayer Lord….please have her ask me another….please?
And see you here next Sunday…got that…here…
Oh almost forgot….
aaaaahhhhmennn.

People sure do pick some weird stuff to read sometimes:
An Important Lesson From The Twilight Zone:
It’s one thing to speak your mind,
it’s another to commit those thoughts to paper.
That particular act has never gone by unnoticed.
Sometimes it has a cost .
The Important Thing Is
You find a way to get your story out there.
I’ve learned that from my hero Rod Serling …
full story here
Rod Serling was surely one of the most idealistic, outspoken, and iconoclastic writers of television’s Golden Age. His highly developed social conscience, his strong opinions against bigotry and prejudice, his antipathy toward network censorship, were eloquently expressed in the more than 200 teleplays he wrote and in the many interviews he gave to national newspapers and magazines- by Linda Jay Brandt

Community meeting with the Diversity Commission of the City of Lynnwood
Recent actions by local police have damaged trust between local police and residents. For example, many residents when stopped for traffic infractions have been asked about their immigration status, and later sent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
When this happens, many people no longer feel safe reporting crimes or collaborating as witnesses.
The Diversity Commission will hear stories from Seattle, where residents and city officials have worked together to pass an ordinance and build relationships that are making the community safe for all residents. These examples show that trust between police and the community make the community safer and stronger.
Come and join us, and let’s work together to make Lynnwood a safe and welcoming city!
