Welcome Ladies!
Jun 24th, 2009 by Judy

I am so happy you have joined us. I hope you will find this site useful in helping you deal with the issues you face in the world today as women or as a single mom trying to raise a family and take care of your home.

Never have I been a single mother, but I have had a husband who was away from home a lot. I had to do many things on my own. Of course I had teen sons to help me with a lot of things, but still I had to be head of the home while my husband was gone.

I want to make things a little easier for you if I can, by helping you have access to the type of information women need today. Please tell me what you need to know and how this site helps you.

Jon Bon Jovi Dead at Age 49
Dec 19th, 2011 by Judy

International Rockstar Legend Jon Bon Jovi dead at 49.

Emergency vehicles were summoned to Jon Bon Jovi’s home today where he was found not breathing and in full cardiac arrest.   When the paramedics arrived he was not breathing and in a coma. They rushed him to Jersey Shore Medical Center.  An autopsy will have to determine the cause of his death.

I suspect his active schedule from the World Christmas Tour concert might have had something to do with it. The man has not only lived a full life, but he has done many great things for humanity. I’m sure the Lord will bless him accordingly!

I for one will miss him greatly.

Cancer-Fighting Virus That Kills ONLY Tumors
Sep 5th, 2011 by Judy

Cancer-Fighting Virus Kills Tumors Without Harming Healthy Tissue

On September 2, 2011 NewsMaxHealth posted an email about a new discovery. Apparently they have found a cancer-fighting virus that kills tumors without harming healthy tissue. This is an amazing discovery because, before now, most cancer-fighting treatment not only killed tumors but healthy tissue as well.

Researchers have shown for the first time that a single intravenous infusion of a genetically engineered virus can actually find cancer cells and kill the tumor without harming a patient’s healthy tissue.  This is an intriguing discovery. I am amazed at what researchers find to heal the body, and even more intrigued by what the body does with them.

For decades, scientists have been intrigued with the idea of using viruses to alert the immune system to seek and destroy cancer cells.  Can you imagine how excited they must have been when advances in genetic engineering  took off in recent years and allowed them to customize viruses to target tumors?

The discovery was possible because a biotech giant named Amgen agreed to pay up to $1 billion for BioVex, the developer of experimental cancer-fighting virus OncoVex. But the only “oncolytic virus” so far approved by a regulatory agency is for treatment of head and neck cancer in China.  Bummer, hope it doesn’t take another decade to reach America.

In a study published in the journal Nature, scientists at institutions including the University of Ottawa and privately held biotech company Jennerex said a small, early-stage trial of experimental viral therapy JX-594 found that it consistently infected tumors with only minimal and temporary side effects.

The next test with these experimental virus will be in a mid-stage trial of liver cancer patients.

“With chemotherapy you get drastic side effects,” said Dr. John Bell, chief scientific officer at Jennerex and senior scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. “Patients on this treatment only had 24-hour flu symptoms and nothing after that.”

The Green Thing
Jun 10th, 2011 by Judy

 

This brings back old memories….

In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that she should bring her own grocery bag because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment.

The woman apologized to him and explained, ”We didn’t have the green thing back in my day.”

The clerk responded, “That’s our problem today.The former generation did not care enough to save our environment.”

He was right, that generation didn’t have the green thing in its day.

Back then, they returned their milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over.So they really were recycled.

But they didn’t have the green thing back in that customer’s day.

In her day, they walked up stairs, because they didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. They walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time they had to go two blocks.

But she was right. They didn’t have the green thing in her day.

Back then, they washed the baby’s diapers because they didn’t have the throw-away kind.
They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts - wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.

But that old lady is right, they didn’t have the green thing back in her day.

Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house - not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief, not a screen the size of the state of Montana.

In the kitchen, they blended and stirred by hand because they didn’t have electric machines to do everything for you.

When they packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, they used a wadded up old newspaper to cushion it, not styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.

Back then, they didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power. They exercised by working so they didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.

But she’s right, they didn’t have the green thing back then.

They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water.

They refilled their writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and they replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

But they didn’t have the green thing back then.

Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked
instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service.

They had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And they didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.

But isn’t it sad the current generation laments how wasteful the old folks were just because they didn’t have the green thing back then?

Support System for Women
Jun 7th, 2011 by Judy

These are times when women need the support of each other more than ever.  We are facing financial difficulties, Internet porn, sexual perversions and promiscuity that are paraded as normal, and our time is challenged by menial tasks that take us from our families.

We, as women, can help each other because of our natural inclination to feel the suffering in others and somehow console an aching spirit. This is what we need now.

Families are being attacked from all sides, when at work, school, and home through books, television programs, and socializing. It is impossible for family members to not be exposed to the negatives of our modern times. As a result, we need something that helps us manage the repercussions of our times.

Women are especially being attacked because they are the center of the family. The evil one can take down the family when he takes out the nurturer, the teacher of values, and the stability of the family.

Today, we see women being led down the path of vanity and self-centered compulsions instead of attending to their families. We’ve seen this problem too much lately. Women are spending more time away from home every day now, where she not only earns money but spends it as well on things that make her feel good.

  • Regularly going out to lunch with friends
  • Getting her hair and nails done regularly
  • Buying make-up and other stuff that makes her look better
  • Spends too much time shopping and socializing on the Internet

Women’s modern activities, as discussed above, are causing marriage and family sufferings. As a result, families are being pulled apart. It is sad to witness the consequences of all this, so please women, help each other keep from venturing out into the ways of the world and lose track of what is really important to us.

We cannot be intrusive on judgemental, but we need to be a support when asked. Sometimes we just have to be blunt like my sister did with me. I told her that something was wrong with me, “I don’t know why I am doing the things I am doing,” I said. The next words out of my mouth was, “It’s not Satan’s fault because he gets blamed for everything we do wrong. I am the one doing these things and I am responsible for them.”

When I told her what I was doing she said, “Why isn’t it Satan’s fault? Everything you are describing is rebelliousness. I’ve never known you to ever do anything rebellious so why are you doing them now? It’s not in your personality to be rebellious, the problem is that all of these things are your weakness that were used on you at once. This alerted your spirit to something being wrong but you didn’t know what or why. Now that you know these are your weak areas, watch yourself because you will see them slip in again from time to time.” She then gave me some very firm instructions that were right on target.

I had changed so much in a two week period that it scared me to think about how much farther I would have gone before I stopped myself. If I had not picked up on the feeling that something was wrong, would I have been able to turn things around soon enough before it destroyed my family? I know I would not still be married (45 years now) and our children would have gone down the tubes because they were making bad friends. I would have been too far gone to pay attention to their needs.

The point is that we are all subject to the ways of this world and can easily be enticed into things because we are human. We need a good friend, a good sister, and good neighbor to be bold when we need it. Had my sister not been bold and challenged me on it, I would not have recognized my folly or made any changes in the direction I was going.

We women need to stick together and be willing to listen when someone needs to talk. We need to remember that being supportive does not mean we tell them what to do or judge them. It means we listen, ask questions that help them find their way through the challenge and only when appropriate, be bold like my sister.

If you need someone to talk to, send me an email that will be kept personal. Send it to Judy@JudySherman.com.

 

Happy Mothers Day – With a Bit of History
May 8th, 2011 by Judy

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there. I hope the day is joyous. We don’t need gifts and stuff, we just need our children and husbands to appreciate us and to tell us they love us. We also want them to show us they love us by the way they act on this special day set aside for moms.

Dave did a beautiful post on Mother’s Day that I want to share with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you Dave for your thoughtfulness.

Repost from digitalDave on Sodahead.com

mom jewel daveThere are so many great Moms and Moms by proxy or Moms in the making here on SH,

I just want to tell you all…
Happy Mother’s Day and may the Lord bless you all always in all ways. xo -Dave

My mom is so sweet, and loving, everyone who knows her is surely blessed. She is a comic genius, a political brain, an awesome cook, a kind friend, a caring Grandma…not to mention a jazz artist, painter, poet and local radio personality. But to me, she is mom, my loving sweet and caring mom!!

I thought it might be interesting to look at a little history of Mothers Day… Let’s go!

Mother’s Day, like so many holidays is very old and the earliest Mother’s Day celebrations seemingly come from ancient Greece.

Though the meaning and celebration have over the eons changed from the way we celebrate now.

In the 1600′s, early English Christians celebrated a day to honor Mary, Christ’s Mother. Later it was expanded to include all Mothers and celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent and titled “Mothering Sunday” to honor all the mothers of England. At this time England’s poorest worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, servants lived at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday, servants were given the day off and encouraged to return home to spend the day with their mothers. A special mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch. Over time, this tradition slowly became forgotten.

In the United States, Mother’s Day was loosely inspired by the British day and was first suggested after the American Civil War by Julia Ward Howe. Howe (who wrote the words to the Battle hymn of the Republic) was horrified by the carnage of the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War and so, in 1870, she tried to issue a manifesto for peace at international peace conferences in London and Paris (it was much like the later Mother’s Day Peace Proclamation).

During the Franco-Prussian war in the 1870s, Julia began a one-woman peace crusade and made an impassioned “appeal to womanhood” to rise against war. She composed in Boston a powerful plea that same year (generally considered to be the original Mothers’ Day proclamation*) translated it into several languages and distributed it widely. In 1872, she went to London to promote an international Woman’s Peace Congress. She began promoting the idea of a “Mother’s Day for Peace” to be celebrated on June 2, honoring peace, motherhood and womanhood. In the Boston Mass, she initiated a Mothers’ Peace Day observance on the second Sunday in June, a practice that was to be established as an annual event and practiced for at least 10 years.

The day was, however, mainly intended as a call to unite women against war. It was due to her efforts that in 1873, women in 18 cities in America held a Mother’s Day for Pace gathering. Howe rigorously championed the cause of official celebration of Mothers Day and declaration of official holiday on the day. She held meetings every year at Boston on Mother’s Peace Day and took care that the day was well-observed. The celebrations died out when she turned her efforts to working for peace and women’s rights in other ways. Howe failed in her attempt to get the formal recognition of a Mother’s Day for Peace. Her remarkable contribution in the establishment of Mother’s Day, however, remains in the fact that she organized a Mother’s Day dedicated to peace. It is a landmark in the history of Mother’s Day in the sense that this was to be the precursor to the modern Mother’s Day celebrations. To acknowledge Howe’s achievements a stamp was issued in her honor in 1988.

It should be well to remember that Howe’s idea was influenced by Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis, a young Appalachian homemaker who, starting in 1858, had attempted to improve sanitation through what she called “Mothers Friendship Day”. In the 1900′s, at a time when most women devoted their time solely on their family and homes, Jarvis was working to assist in the healing of the nation after the Civil War. She organized women throughout the Civil War to work for better sanitary conditions for both sides and in 1868 she began work to reconcile Union and Confederate neighbors. Ann was instrumental in saving thousands of lives by teaching women in her Mothers Friendship Clubs the basics of nursing and sanitation which she had learned from her famous physician brother James Reeves, M.D. In parts of the United States it was customary to plant tomatoes outdoors after Mother’s Work Days (and not before).

It was Jarvis’ daughter, Anna Jarvis, who finally succeeded in introducing Mother’s Day in the sense as we celebrate it today. Anna graduated from the Female Seminary in Wheeling and taught in Grafton for a while. Later she moved to Philadelphia with her family. Anna had spent many years looking after her ailing mother. This is why she preferred to remain a spinster. When her mother died in Philadelphia on May 9, 1905, Anna missed her greatly. So did her sister Elsinore whom she looked after as well. Anna felt children often neglected to appreciate their mother enough while the mother was still alive. Now, she intended to start a Mother’s Day, as an honoring of the mothers. In 1907, two years after her mother’s death, Anna Jarvis disclosed her intention to her friends who supported her cause wholeheartedly. So supported by her friends, Anna decided to dedicate her life to her mother’s cause and to establish Mother’s Day to “honor mothers, living and dead.” She started the campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. With her friends, she started a letter-writing campaign to urge ministers, businessmen and congressmen in declaring a national Mother’s Day holiday. She hoped Mother’s Day would increase respect for parents and strengthen family bonds.

As a result of her efforts the first mother’s day was observed on May 10, 1908, by a church service honoring Late Mrs. Reese Jarvis, in the Andrews Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, where she spent 20 years taking Sunday school classes. Grafton is the home to the International Mother’s Day Shrine. Another service was also conducted on the same date in Philadelphia where Mrs. Jarvis died, leaving her two daughters Anna and Elsinore. So it was more of an homage service for Mrs. Reeves Jarvis than a general one conducted in honor of motherhood. Nevertheless, this set the stage for the later Mother’s Day observances held in the honor of motherhood.

From there, the custom caught on — spreading eventually to 45 states. The first Mother’s Day proclamation was issued by the governor of West Virginia in 1910. Oklahoma celebrated it in that same year. It stirred the same way in as far west as the state of Washington. And by 1911 there was not a state in the Union that did not have its own observances for Mother’s Day. Soon it crossed the national boundary, as people in Mexico, Canada, South America, China, Japan and Africa all joined the spree to celebrate a day for mother love.

The House of Representatives in May 1913 unanimously adopted a resolution requesting the President, his cabinet, the members of both Houses and all officials of the federal government to wear a white carnation on Mother’s Day. On May 7,1914, a resolution providing that the second Sunday in May be designated Mother’s Day was introduced by Representative James T. Heflin of Alabama and Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas. It passed both Houses on May 9, 1914.

“Arrangement in Grey and Black” aka Whistler’s Mother

In 1934 Postmaster General James A. Farley announced a stamp to commemorate Mother’s Day. The stamp featured this famous painting.

The painting was a portrait of the mother of James Abbott McNeill Whistler, an English artist. It was brought into the United States as part of an exhibit in the year 1934.

Regardless of the pros and cons of the commercialization of this day, Mother’s Day continues to be one of the most commercially successful U.S. occasions. According to the National Restaurant Association, Mother’s Day is now the most popular day of the year to dine out at a restaurant in the United States. The occasion is now celebrated not so much with flags as with gifts, cards, hugs, thank you’s and other tokens of affection. While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother’s Day on different days and at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May. In some countries, the appreciation lasts for two days.

This is one day, we can all get behind someone… Mom, we love you!

MRC Sting on Planned Parenthood
Feb 3rd, 2011 by Judy

Let me share with you an email I received today that I think you will find helpful.

Please send on a link to this post so your email contacks will know about these facts.

Expose Planned
Parenthood!
Take Action Now!

The liberal media are covering up a major story that impacts every taxpaying citizen in the nation. Please click here to see the video and to take fast action with the Media Research Center. –David

Judith L.,

On Tuesday, a shocking video showing Planned Parenthood of

video and to take fast action with the MRC.

ficials illegally coaching and giving business advice to an undercover actor posing as a pimp went public, and the so-called “news” media have simply looked the other way.

On Thursday (today) a second video was released. This video showed a similar scene in a Planned Parenthood clinic in Richmond, VA — proving this is not an isolated incident but a shocking pattern!

Evidently, the liberal media and Planned Parenthood think that it’s okay to use their $350 million in taxpayer funds to provide business advice and tips for evading the law to a “man” who sells sex with 14- and 15- year-old girls.

The Leftist controlled media have decided this is a story you shouldn’t see or read about. In other words .

THE LIBERAL MEDIA WANT TO DETERMINE WHAT IS NEWS, AND THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE THIS VIDEO!

EVEN THOUGH THIS STORY BROKE A DAY AGO,
ABC, CBS & NBC STILL HAVE NOT COVERED IT!

Go here now to see the video the liberal media don’t want you to see and to take immediate action.

WARNING: Portions of this video are both graphic and disturbing, and should not be viewed by children.

YouTube is currently threatening to remove these videos, out of respect for the “privacy” of the Planned Parenthood manager. This woman was fired yesterday for the criminal activity that she was caught participating in. The video will remain on Eyeblast.tv, a division of the MRC committed to preventing just this type of censorship.

+ + The Liberal Media: Sin By Omission

Judith L., it was just a brave 23 year old woman with two actors and a hidden camera that exposed Planned Parenthood for what they really are – far – left pro-abortion social activists. The liberal media have never lifted a finger to uncover this story.

Now, they’ve gone a step further, and are covering up this brilliant piece of investigative journalism to further protect their friends at Planned Parenthood! Attempting to distort public opinion by covering up unpleasant facts is how the state-run media in Iran may operate, but we expect better!

YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED

The MRC has just launched an aggressive email initiative to inundate key network executives and decision-makers with outraged emails demanding a full investigation into the actions of Planned Parenthood.

We are calling on every MRC Action team member to take action with us right now to tell key liberal media outlets to STOP IGNORING THE PLANNED PARENTHOOD VIDEO AND EXPOSE THIS SCANDAL!

Go here to utilize our system to send your emails expressing your outrage over the liberal media’s refusal to acknowledge and cover this important story.

This is YOUR oppportunity to send a strongly worded email directly to leading media officials right now!

Thank you so much for standing with the MRC to expose and stop liberal media bias.

David

P.S. Lila Rose, the young woman who worked to uncover this major scandal will be doing a live webcast tonight at 8:30 PM Eastern with Family Research Council President – and friend of the MRC – Tony Perkins. Get all of the details here!

Places Germs Breed on Planes
Jan 21st, 2011 by Judy

Here is part of a report I received from AARP on germs on planes. I thought you might find it useful. However, you will need to use the link in order to see all three pages of the report.

For example, read this short paragraph from the report: Flight attendants have witnessed many repulsive misuses of the tray table, from parents changing dirty diapers to kids sticking their boogers underneath. Research confirms that the handy tray table is a petri dish for all kinds of health hazards, including the superbug Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), which is often fatal once contracted. It kills an estimated 20,000 Americans annually.

6 Places Germs Breed in a Plane

Even coffee, magazines can be contaminated

from: CNN | December 22, 2010

  • Airplane water has been under review for traces of E. coli for six years
  • Purchase bottled water to bring on board and don’t use ice cubes in your drink
  • To avoid catching the cold or flu, don’t stash things in the seat pocket
  • Don’t wash your hands after using the airplane bathroom — use sanitizer instead

(Budget Travel) — Flu season is in full swing, so it’s more important than ever to protect yourself against illness. We dug deep to identify the major germ zones on planes (and tips to avoid them). No, you’re not likely to contract meningitis, but better safe than sorry, right?

GERM ZONE: Water
FOR:
E. coli, a common culprit behind stomach cramps

Your plane reaches 30,000 feet, the fasten-seat-belt sign switches off, and the flight attendant comes by to take your drink order: Coffee or tea? Ice water? They seem like innocent offers — until you consider that airplane water has been under review by the EPA for traces of E. coli for six years.

A random sampling of 327 unnamed domestic and international aircraft caused a stir in 2004 when some water samples tested positive for E. coli, one strain of which is the leading cause of food poisoning in the U.S. Coffee and tea are brewed on board with such water and don’t typically reach hot enough temperatures to kill E. coli. When bottled water runs out, some planes have been known to fill fliers’ glasses from the tank.

One British Airways crew member confessed to the London-based Times that, in those cases, the crew first has to wait for any cloudy “floating stuff” to settle out. And onboard tanks are small to limit their weight, so planes sometimes refill at foreign airports, where water standards can be questionable.

The encouraging news is that water quality and control are improving: From 2005 to 2008, only 3.6 percent of samples tested positive for coliform bacteria, of which only a small fraction tested positive for E. coli. And in October 2011, the EPA’s Aircraft Drinking Water Rule, with more standardized, stringent disinfection and inspection regulations, will go into effect.

TIP: Once you clear the security checkpoint, purchase a bottle of water to bring on board. When the flight attendant comes to take your order, stick to soda, juice and other prepackaged liquids, minus the ice. While ice cubes are usually supplied by an outside vendor, some large planes may have their own ice-making capabilities — reliant on tank water.

GERM ZONE: Seat Pocket
FOR: Cold and influenza A, B, and C viruses

There’s a familiar routine to settling in on a plane: Store your luggage in the overhead bin and deposit any personal items you want to be readily available in your seat pocket. But reaching into that pocket is akin to putting your hand in someone else’s purse and rummaging among their used tissues and gum wrappers.

Toenail clippings and mushy old French fries are even nastier surprises that have been found in seat pockets. Consider that cold and influenza viruses can survive for hours on fabric and tissues, and even longer (up to 48 hours) on nonporous surfaces like plastic and metal — and you realize that you might pick up more than that glossy flight magazine when you reach inside.
