Forgiveness

Posted by Erin (and sometimes The Todd) on Jul 31, 2009 in Erin's Diatribes/The Todd's Tastes

(Editor’s note: forgive ME if you’ve read this post before. I have two readers who wanted to borrow from it for church talks this week.)

My ex-boyfriend used to call me “Satan Claus” (see left) because of my ability to hold a grudge. Oh, believe me, I knew who’d been naughty and I KEPT A LIST, MISTER.

I moderated this unfortunate habit when I fell in love with The Todd, who is the kindest and most forgiving of men. Mind you, he forgives, but doesn’t forget. Cross him enough and you’re out of the club. But he never nursed a grudge the way I can. Producer Mike, our dear friend and diabolically funny ex-producer used to call it “The Crisper of Hate.” He and I loved to keep our grudges in The Crisper of Hate, and take them out and mull over them, just as fresh and outrageous as the day we stored them there.

I didn’t get offended so much for myself (though I believe to this day that other drivers are put on the road just to annoy me) but for others that I loved. We’re Scottish, and my favorite quote is “The enemy of my friend is my enemy.” I hated the store clerk who was rude to my girlfriend Annika. I hated the lift operator at Snowbird’s slide ride who was a complete jerk to the little girls from Kenya because they didn’t know how to ride a ski lift. I mean, HELLO? They’re from A-F-R-I-C-A, they don’t have a lot of SKI LIFTS there, pal! And they’re 8! Way to yell at an eight-year old non-ski lift using kid from Africa! Geez! (Editor’s note: okay, that one was from today so I should get a pass on that.)

My mother can’t stand this quality in me. After telling her once that I tried and tried to forgive someone who’d been inexcusably cruel to The Todd and his children, she sent me this excerpt from “The Hiding Place.” Corrie Ten Boom was an amazing little Dutch woman who hid dozens of Jews in a secret space in her home from the Nazis. She was eventually caught and with her sister, was sent to a concentration camp to die. Corrie survived, but her beloved sister did not. An SS guard who’d been especially sadistic to her sister showed up years later at a speech Corrie gave. Don’t read the following ’till you’re ready to let go. I was ticked off at my mom for years for forcing me to evolve. Which means…I still hold a grudge.

Dangit.

Here’s the link. Have tissues ready.
For author Corrie ten Boon, the ultimate lesson in forgiveness came at a very unexpected time. In her book “The Hiding Place,” she writes the following: It was at a church in Munich that I saw him, the former S.S. man who had stood guard at the shower room door in the processing center at Ravensbruck. He was the first of our actual jailers that I had seen since that time. And suddenly it was all there – the roomful of mocking men, the heaps of clothing, Betsie’s pain blanched face. He came up to me as the church was emptying, beaming and bowing. “How grateful I am for your message, Fraulein,” he said. “To think that, as you say, ‘He has washed my sins away’!” His hand was thrust out to shake mine. And I, who had preached so often to the people in Bloemendaal on the need to forgive, kept my hand at my side. Even as the angry, vengeful thoughts boiled through me, I saw the sin of them. Jesus Christ had died for this man; was I going to ask for more? Lord Jesus, I prayed, forgive me and help me to forgive him. I tried to smile; I struggled to raise my hand. I could not. I felt nothing, not the slightest spark of warmth or charity. And so again, I breathed a silent prayer. Jesus, I cannot forgive him. Give him Your forgiveness. As I took his hand, the most incredible thing happened. From my shoulder along my arm and through my hand a current seemed to pass from me to him, while into my heart sprang a love for this stranger that almost overwhelmed me. And so I discovered that it is not on our forgiveness, any more than on our goodness that the world’s healing hinges, but on His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself.

Old Navy Weekly.com Navigation Clues!

Posted by Erin (and sometimes The Todd) on Jul 31, 2009 in Unfiled Stuff

I am sucking at this…I hover over the Old Navy Weekly site every Thursday night and STILL miss the refresh every time. By the time I see the update, the $75.00 and $50.00 coupons are gone. However, I still include the navigation clues here, because three girlfriends swear the site’s refreshed mid-week, and all three snagged the $75.00 fellas. Of course, they’ve gloated mercilessly–so practice, so that you too may gloat! Remember also that you can still use this 35% off coupon: http://www.gapinc.com/giveandget/lls/

Here’s your navigation clues:

$75 off $100 – 2 ways to get this: 1) A limited # of people were able to put in their mobile number to get text updates (bottom left where it says “Item of the week – get text updates in an orange bubble to the right of that”). 2) Click on the dog (top right picture) and he will bark once…a squirrel will then run across the picture w/the two girls (top left). Catch the squirrel and click on it (you have to be fast). You can only get it by clicking the squirrel the first time–otherwise refresh and try again.

$50 off $100 – Top picture, 2 girls, take the camera from the girl on right and move to middle top picture and place in woman’s jean pocket(on right) – Click the picture and a picture will fall. Catch the picture for $50.

$10 off $50 – Click on the top right picture w/the couple. They will split apart (Josh & Kelly) and the $10/$50 will pop up.

$5 off $25 – in the video, about 1 minute in, click around till you find it!

25% off – Click on the sunflower (top left picture with 2 girls-it’s on the bottom right)

15% off – Text update – put in your mobile number and the 15% will pop up (this is on the bottom left, where it says “Item of the Week”

10% off – Top picture, 2 girls – click on the girl’s yellow headset

Gluten-free goodies from Betty Crocker!

Posted by Erin (and sometimes The Todd) on Jul 30, 2009 in Unfiled Stuff

Our twins are on a gluten-free diet, and until I found my little places and connections, it was a lot of work. There’s so many celiac problems now that even the big boys are jumping in with products…

You can snag a FREE Coupon for Betty Crocker Gluten-free Dessert Mix ($4 value)! Just follow these simple steps:
Call General Mills Consumer Services number: 1(800) 446-1898. At the main menu, hit #4 or say “four.”
This will take you to a customer representative.
Tell the representative that you are interested in the free gluten-free baking coupons.
He/she will ask a few questions: Zip code, whether your household did not limit gluten ingestion, limited gluten or was gluten-free, how many people live in the house and where you normally shop for gluten-free food (the name and street address of the store) and your address.
That’s it!

Coupons.com, hands-down my favorite for ease of navigation and big fat coupons. You'll need to download a toolbar to print. Do not fear the toolbar, it will bring you many goodies.

Coupon Deals Daily.com offers 50-90% off items locally available. Worth checking often, since nothing lasts for long.

So, "catalinas" are the slips of paper-style coupons you get at checkout along with your reciept to use for next time. Print them on Coupon Network.com, and use them THIS trip. Clever you!

No insurance? Or does your lousy coverage refuse to pay for certain medications? Enter the Pharmacy Coupons--this network allows you to print coupons for up to 75% off your prescription costs. In the economy? A literal lifesaver.

Red Plum Coupons cover a huge variety--everything from grocery to your local tire store. Take a look around by clicking below.

Do you have estrogen? Then you will love Woman Freebies.com. They send free girly samplys and piles of high-value coupons. No catch!

I’m no Martha Stewart.

But, if you're reading this, you're probably like me. This is the budget blog for the REST of us. The not-perfect girls who are excited if they remember their coupons like, say...half of the time. There's no need to be born a domestic diva if I can help you fake it, right?

You'll find piles of goodies, giveaways, expert advice and free-bee family activities here. Look for the "Sneaky Inside Tips" in red to get the most out of the post! I update free-bees and coupons every day. Check back. You can also find us on the radio at B 98.7 in Salt Lake City, streaming live on B987.com, ToddandErin on Twitter and ToddandErin Page II on Facebook. Same great taste, less filling.
