Happy New Year!
This picture came from the catholicshopper.com website. For some reason I just can't imagine Jesus playing touch football. Just think of the implications...Gaaa!
Update: Thanks to blogger buddy breakerslion for this link Drop Kick Me Jesus Through the Goalpost of Life.

I was trying to explain the joys of under the sink worm composting to a friend last night over the phone. I decided to do it on my blog instead.
This is a red worm or Eisenia foetida
This link gives you the basic instructions for composting with red worms.
Drilling holes in the top bucket for aeration & drainage.Here I used a couple of plastic 5 gallon honey buckets I got free from the Health Food Store. They fit nicely under my kitchen sink. The top bucket will be placed in the bottom bucket. Worms, bedding, kitchen waste goes in the top bucket...
This is liquid that was drained from the bottom container of a large outside worm bin. We call it liquid gold, plants love it
Some of the finished compost, ready to be used in the garden.One of the cool things about worm composting....
When you harvest your compost you can always spare some worms to pass on to friends so they can start their own composting project.

I bet one of those worms has just finished a blog post titled "How Relevant Is Rita Anyway", explaining why it doesn't really matter whether you exist or not.:-)
Earthquakes, floods, pestilence... I am the master of their universe! When I open the lid & shine the bright light of revelation on them, they cower before me.
I visited a friend once who had mushrooms growing from the carpet behind the toilet.....that was the last time I ever visited him ;-)

A clever use of space.
Hopefully you didn't dine on mushrooms while you were visiting.
Well, the Ducks did not win. Too bad.:(
Re: Jesus playing football.
When I was a kid in the 50s a girl I knew who went to parochial girls' school was crazy about a nun who wore knee pads under her long black habit and played football with the girls. I couldn't imagine that one, let alone J.C. running for the end zone. Well, end zone, end times, maybe they've got something there.
Several years ago when he was doing the Late Show, Conan O'Brien showed some of these & then his staff made up some of their own. I thought they were very funny, but he probably got some flack for it, because after a few times, that bit suddenly ceased.
My husband always says that the biggest problem with the Christian right is they have no sense of humor.
That statue was made to be contemplated, zen fashion, while listening to Drop Kicke Me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life
Happy New Year
"kicke?" Oh well.
OMG, that was awful :) Thanks! I'm linking to it from my post.
An odd statue indeed Ms.Rita ....
Why? Because I cant imagine why the quarterback at the line of scrimage would pass off the ball to his running back (Jesus) when the defense has a tackle hold on the running back's waste? The only message I could possibly get from that is that Jesus must be on a "losing team" (?)
Thank You Ms.Rita! :)
Wow, Jesus playing football and worm composting all in the same post!
May the Holy Rita, (Glory Be Upon Her) bless us with her vegetable peelings, Yea, at the very opening of the sky, for they are the gift of god, unto her chosen worms, who wriggle in supplication at her greatness.
May we all follow the squiggly path, and shun the worm who goes straight, for in wiggliness were we created, and in straightening is iniquity.
Bless us, Rita, for we have sinned.

The whole idea is just too literal & creepy. One of the times in church that I lost my cool was when a Sunday school teacher taught the lesson on How Jesus was like a quarterback & the disciples & other Christians were members of the team...blah,blah blah. How ridiculous!

It's hard enough to find something to fill up a whole blog post. I'm resorting to bashing Jesus & rehashing worms.

Powerful & moving...If I ever decide to take on the job of Deity I want YOU to be my publicist. :)
Happy New Year, rita :-) hugs and mouah mouah ....
My outdoor composter in the backyard is doing well enough. I don't think my wife would be too keen on having worms indoors.
A key for me is to empty the finished compost as much as possible in the fall to allow for room through the winter. During the winter the 'composting process' doesn't happen much as the whole thing is frozen.
