Honestly

Oh Stryper.  After my introduction to Christian Rock through Petra the next obvious (and only) choice was Stryper.  Looking back I can only remember the yellow and black that was their trademark and I wonder, why did they want to look like giant bumblebees?!?  Hahahahahaha!  I have two very clear memories of Stryper music in my life.  They are random and odd memories which is why I think they are worth sharing! :) 

Honestly was Stryper's breakout song and so this was the one I listened to the most and liked the best, actually it may have been the only song of theirs that I did like.  I have a vivid memory of folding laundry, when I was a kid, and listening to this song over and over and singing along with great...passion.  Tee hee hee.  My other memory has to do with the youth group romance.  We all have 'em.  I had a boyfriend in my youth group whose name escapes me BUT he was a die hard fan/groupie of Stryper.  Like so much so that he, um er, dressed like them.  Oh yes, yes he did and yes I associated myself with him.  AHAHAHAHAHAHA!  He loved Stryper.  There was none other in his world.  His love of Stryper, in retrospect, bordered on obsession I'm thinkin'.  Sheesh, honestly?  :)

One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
