Are our troops overseas in all those locations for more than one reason? Might one be to protect the companies that have moved there and taken away jobs here?

Turn on the light. No one questions the advantages of the light bulb. Come January 1, incandescent bulbs will be no more. But why did GE move to China, where most of the new bulbs are made? How long has this plan been "blowing in the wind"?

A bit of advice: say nothing often. There is a vast difference between putting your nose in other people's business and putting your heart in other people's problems.

My 3-year-old niece is quick to say, "Sssh - talk quietly - use inside voices inside and outside voices outside.” People tend to listen if you talk softly. Try to only holler if the house is on fire.

Richard Nixon said: "We cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one another. Until we can learn to speak quietly enough, then our words can be heard as well as our voices."

White bread, flour and other things are suspect as a possible cause for diabetes. On the other hand, fruits and vegetables that are pulp white and juices you can "see through" are good for you. Go figure.

Some very informative information regarding the human body:

• It takes your food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.

• One human hair can support 3 kg (6.6 lbs).

• Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete.

• A woman's heart beats faster than a man's.

• There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet. It is proper to take off your shoes in anyone’s house so you don't spread bacteria.

• Women blink twice as often as men.

• The average person's skin weighs twice as much as the brain.

• Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.

• If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.

What is the greatest number of hits a baseball team can get in a single inning without scoring a run? I wasn't sure, but I received two answers.

The first reply: the first two batters get hits and are thrown out trying to stretch to extra bases or thrown out trying to steal. The next three hitters load the bases with singles. That's five hits with two outs and no runs. Here's where it gets tricky. The next batter hits the ball, but the ball strikes a baserunner before a fielder can get his glove on it. By rule, the batter is credited with a single, but the struck baserunner is out.

Another way starts off the same as the first five batters, then the batter hits a grand slam, however; the guy on third base, the front base runner, doesn't touch home plate.

Time and things take time. Most of us aren't patient enough to make use of our time. If we don't know the answers, are we smart enough to ask questions?

Are we always really doing the best with what we have? Sometimes it seems like we fall back on the things we don't "think" we are capable of or smart enough to do or know, failing before we even try.

According to University of Michigan research, those who regularly lend a helping hand live significantly longer than those who don't. Ever wonder how much time and money is spent on research of such statistics and who does them?

May God bless you with a beautiful year to enjoy!

Somebody once said, "The best thing you can have up your sleeve is your funny bone." Happiness is contagious. It is a fact. If you laugh more, you live more. And even if this wasn't true, at least you'd feel like you've lived longer and better.

Need something to do? How many good words can you make out of Happy Halloween? How many great events could you attend to celebrate?

Halloween, for me this year, was a four-day celebration. The Friday before Halloween, I was fortunate to take in the Halloween party at the elementary school in Ellendale. Though many costumes were bought, it is amazing to think of the all the creativity involved in costumes, games and activities. Each of the classes played a few games before the big "parade of costumes" took place in the gymnasium.

On Saturday, I attended the benefit for Cheryl Sauke, and many people in attendance, including Cheryl, came "dressed up" for Halloween. I later stopped at the Geneva Bar & Grill and George's for their Halloween parties as well, and once again saw some great costumes.

Then on Sunday, I was lucky enough to have my three daughters and three granddaughters "come home" for an early Halloween celebration. They all live close, but not that close, and they wanted to spend the afternoon together. They brought pizza and of course we had to take pictures of Mallory, Morgan and little Amelia, who is only one month old, in their Halloween costumes. 

Amelia had two costumes in fact. She first wore a pink skeleton suit, later changing into a little orange pumpkin costume that said, "Mommy’s cutest little pumpkin" on the front. The girls had fun pretending while they had their costumes on. We also enjoyed the afternoon looking back at the past in pictures of when my girls were babies. I don't have all the pictures in the order they should be, but I have a lot of them sorted by child. There was lots of laughter involved in seeing how each one grew.

Halloween officially arrived on Monday. Every place I went that day, people came dressed up as something but themselves.

The Ellendale United Methodist Church parking lot was host, for the fourth year in a row, for "Trunk or Treats." People lined up their vehicles in the church parking lot and opened up their trucks, or side doors of their vans, to show off how they decorated for Halloween. They also brought along fun goodies to share with the kids. Starting the event earlier in the day at 5:30 p.m. was great, especially for the little ones, so they could enjoy the holiday.

The church parking lot provided a great place to see how everyone dressed up for the big day. The hardest part was deciding how many cute pictures I could take. Many of the adults dressed up for the event too. I do think they were enjoying themselves just as much as the kids. Anything that makes you laugh and feel good is worth all the time and effort put into it.

Needless to say, I've changed my mind on Halloween after seeing how much enjoyment the children had in their costumes while they took part in the trick or treating events. The joy and expression on their faces and the interaction they had with their parents, teachers, friends and relatives was something to be proud of.

Kids really do enjoy Halloween and I don't think the rewards make any difference. There is fun in dressing up. Adults used to have just as much fun when they went "Yule-a-boking."

Forget about monsters and goblins and all that nasty stuff, except as costumes picked by the kids.  Everyone had fun!

Maybe Halloween has now become a fun day of celebration, not mischief making. It has also gone beyond the "grim and gory" and become more of a day of "let's pretend." For that brief moment of time, the little ones can fill that desire to be a princess, a pirate, an elf, a doctor, a butterfly, a fireman. And the list goes on. 

Trickery seems to have gone away more too and there is little thought of waxed windows, toilet paper or even more strenuous tricks that might border on vandalism. Hopefully it has become more of a childrens' and parents' day where visions of good things come into their heads.

The weather cooperated for the big holiday this year and for at least a little while, folks could put their cares aside and live it up!

Thank you, too, to those who have children under handicapped conditions and brought them out for the event as well. You made it fun for them. Their smiles were beautiful. There’s nothing cuter than a little red haired two-year-old in his stroller saying, "Cheese." Cute enough to be photographed many times.

Over the years, I have chose not to give out candy, and have given out pencils, or dimes. But I no longer give money as I felt it was too dangerous; a child might happen to put it in their mouth. They also might  easily lose it as they make their ways down the street as they go door to door.

This year, my mother met her match when she offered something different for Halloween to her great granddaughter who loves stuffed rabbits. Mom offered her a new rabbit, some money or a storybook. The little one replied, "Grandma, you're supposed to give candy treats." Grandma replied, "You know I don't buy candy for little girls." Her reply was, "Yes, I know, but there is candy in your drawer," and so there was. Never try to out wit a youngster.  

I hope that you too had a Happy Halloween!

Wherever this year takes you, may you feel happiness along the way!

In Austin, in regards to the number of inches that are legal for curbside parking (24), how legal is it to drive with parking lights on?

Do doctors still give candy suckers to kids for being good when we all know sugar is a useless, even not a good, ingredient?

Why do employers often pick people who wear eyeglasses when hiring over non-spectacle counterparts?

Four ounces of orange juice will make your stomach more acidic, which will double your ability to absorb iron from whole wheat grains.

Antihistamines can make you 55 percent fatter. Things like Allegra and Claritin can trigger overeating and fat breakdown.

Preheating your air popper will give you best results. Kernels kept in the freezer generally pop fluffier with less "old maids." If you want to get rid of old maids, put the popcorn in a paper bag, cut a small hole in the corner of the bottom and duds should all fall out.

Cookie dough refrigerated for about 30 minutes is easier to work with. Dipping a teaspoon in milk or olive oil will glide the cookies to the pan with ease. Using your hands, lightly grease your plastic gloves with olive oil or water.

Cover cut apple slices with apple juice and refrigerate for about one half hour. They won't turn brown and the juice will make them crunchier and tastier.

By increasing your white fruit (apples and pears) and vegetable consumption by 2.5 grams, most people will see a 9 percent reduction in their risk of stroke.

On average, an apple weighs 120 grams, meaning for every apple you eat, you average closer to a 10 percent less chance of having a stroke. Though further research is needed to verify the researchers’ work, if these edible white parts can reduce the risk of developing stokes by 52 percent, pass the apples please.

People who make a habit of smiling outlive those who smile less, according to Wayne State University. It prompts the release of good brain chemicals and gives you an upbeat feeling.

Exercise increases blood circulation, sending more oxygen to all body cells, which helps prevent the DNA mutations that can occur as you age.

You'll likely live 10 to 20 years longer if you walk at least three times a week.

A good friend calmly said, in regards to problems, "It will all come out in the wash." He was mostly right. It just takes patience.

My grandma said, "It’s always good for something." A blow on the shin and a visit to the doctor showed my mother she needed a pacemaker. A knee implant that went bad signaled my dad’s heart attack in the hospital.

Your waistline shouldn't be more than half of your height. Models used to wear a tape around their middle to remind them that if it got too tight, they needed to slim down. Belly fat can shrink by eating foods like oatmeal, green tea, blueberries, and using weights.

Most recipe books usually call for buying a pound of turkey per person. Actually, with so many other good things to eat, half of the amount should do the trick unless you like lots of leftovers.

Canned vegetables contain BPA (Biesphanol), a chemical that has been linked to cancer. Experts are now advising people to use vegetables found in glass or frozen containers.

Experts are also now saying that plastic containers have ingredients that deteriorate and become detrimental to your health.

Why do they say, “Don't refill a plastic bottle because it can leach into the contents?” What about the tons of bottles already filled and for any amount of time?

Why do they put more cotton in the pill bottles than pills? They could save half the space, yet cartons or bags that hold instruments of importance are jammed in so little space it is a struggle to pack it up every time.

Pizza can be made by any imagination of the mind. Why not try a different combination the next time you are going to eat pizza? Try it. You'll like it.

I wonder how many people see beyond peanut butter to the other nut butters available? Actually, after so many years of eating peanut butter, it almost all tastes the same. The kind you like is best.

Never heat food in plastic in a microwave. The majority of containers are not safe when they are exposed to heat.

It has also been said 3,000 mg a day of conjugated linabeic acid (CLA), which is a fat found in beef, lamb, cheese and whole milk, can help shed seven pounds of belly fat in three months. It shuts down the enzyme that keeps stubborn fat cells full.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you as they are able.

Blinking is the way your body lubricates the eye so the more you blink, the better it is for your eyes. It is a natural way of protecting your vision.

We always know we should prepare for winter, but we seldom do until the weather is cold, windy and miserable. If you've room by the back door, find something that will just hold scarves, gloves and mittens. It will save a lot of time looking for them when you are getting ready to go out the door.

Do we buy toys for the kids or for our own pleasure? Price isn't always the winner. Sometimes tiny things are more precious in value.

Every little girl wants to be a princess. I wonder if she would really want to be one if she knew what it entails? Only a certain exceptional individual could really thrive, be happy and comfortable in the whirlwind life of the famous. Yes, there would be pluses, but one must also consider the negatives.

Make your special day a day you'll never forget, filled with smiles, good cheer, and laughter!

Halloween has never really been my holiday of choice. I could never see any real significance, except that it filled a gap on the calendar between the 4th of July and Thanksgiving; but the kids love it, and storekeepers love it too as it fills the gaps in their displays before Thanksgiving, which is kind of a quiet, somber holiday best known for "going home."

Halloween, like everything else, has changed, maybe grown up. Tricks of years ago would land you in jail now. These were mostly adult shenanigans.

Like I said, kids love Halloween. Maybe it is because they can dress up and be somebody else for a little while. Today, many of our youngsters have mom and pop succumb to the many tailor-made costumes made to mimic heroes, beauties or heroic looking vampires and witches. What is it that seems to attract kids to the evil and dark characters even though they may be afraid of them? 

Sorry, I got sidetracked. I was talking costumes. In my day and age, few people bought costumes. They were more inclined to use their imagination and Mom’s sewing machine to create a character of their own. Often times they took a pair of bib overalls and paired it with a flannel-shirted scarecrow with a corncob pipe. Forget the patches on the pants, old sheets were often used and made good ghosts, if the wearer didn't trip over the excess material and could see through holes. 

You wouldn't think so from the time and attention paid to commercial displays, but I think trick or treating, at least by little folks, has diminished somewhat. I do remember one year having 175 little guests come to our front door. When we ran out of the goodies we had purchased, we gave pencils or nickels and anything we could lay our hands on quick. Once I think I caught Daryl giving away the dog (just kidding).

The costume parties at the New Richland school were so much fun. It’s hard to tell who loved them most, those little dressed up masters or their parents and grandparents in the bleachers. It was a big occasion, and I don't know if they still do it or not. It kept the kids off the streets, out of danger and made for a fun evening for everyone.

Speaking of pencils, I am probably the witch who stole Halloween as I started giving pencils instead of candy. I thought the kids probably needed them more than candy. Some kids were glad, saying, "Oh boy, I needed that," while others weren't so happy because some thought I was being a party pooper or cheapskate.

Often times, kids made their rounds of the towns in search of more loot. I think that stopped as older kids decided it wasn't cool to beg for candy, sugar got to be "fat food," and gas prices went higher.

Remember cleaning pumpkins? I hated the feel of the inside. Then of course, it was washed. The seeds we baked, though I thought they tasted more like hard burnt seeds than something good to eat. 

It was always a test of ingenuity to see whose pumpkin was the worst. Cutting the hole in the bottom always made the task easier. Some years, we just creatively painted them. It was more creative and fun to light our paper mache pumpkins with electricity.

My friend Clarice lived on a very steep hill in Owatonna. She gave up setting out pumpkins for the holiday because kids made her hill into a bowling alley or a ski jump. They sent the pumpkins down the hill Olympic style.

Ray Christensen worked for my Grandpa Richard years and years ago. While Christensen was serving on the school board, a four-wheeled lumber wagon appeared on top of the school. Grandpa knew just who to contact to take it down. Ray knew too; he put it there!

My dad use to say the favorite thing to do in New Richland for Halloween was to move the outside plumbing (outhouse) forward enough to cause some stinky disaster to happen to anyone who came from behind to push it over. An event one year wasn't so much funny but laughable. An old gentleman, in the excitement of moving his toilet forward, misjudged and fell in himself. Can't say that was a trick or a treat.

When my sister and I reached the "age of destruction," our mean, old mother laid down the law and we were no longer babes with buckets. We were delegated to pass out candy inside instead of receiving outside. The morning after, when authorities came knocking on our door advising us to clean up windows, yards, etc., at the school, we were glad our "mean, old mother" could truthfully say, "Not my kids. They weren't out of the house all night."

My dad thought of lots of things to do at Halloween time. He wired music into the vent spaces in the overhang of our house. We just happened to have this really spooky Halloween record with ghoulish glee and horrifying laughter. As a result, we didn't have very many tricksters that year. The little kids cried and others stayed out on the road. He honestly didn't intend it to be intimidating. He thought they'd be amused.

Luella and Norris Thompson, who lived in Ellendale, bless their hearts, were champions of having Halloween shenanigans that made you want to be a kid again. They had ghostly, gorgeous treats, bubbling apple cider, bloody (tomato) cocktails, chunks of "tombstone" and the like in a bright Halloween setting.

They were nice people to always remember, but Halloween stands out as a favorite time to remember them.

Whatever became of bobbing for apples in a wash tub of water? No longer wash tubs? There's still apples. Or how about catching a popcorn ball string from a string in the ceiling. Maybe we didn't pull taffy so often (that was a Christmas thing), but there were some exciting scavenger hunts!

Perhaps the ultimate trick of all was when Eddie Anderson’s (and Rose Mangskau’s and Harriet Harnes') parents were married on Halloween. They thought it was the best trick they could do and the many happy years they were wed proved it. But who would get married on Halloween? My sister, Kaye, and Mike Cady! At least you won't forget your anniversary that way.
