I posted about Myths 10-12 last week.
The following are what we believe and practice with those 3 Myths.

10. Get tattoos.
    Well I don’t think I need to emphasize on this one. We don’t get tattoos.

11. Get all of your immunization shots.
    We don't get immunization shots. We don’t go to doctors, or anything like that. Why would I put a virus in me just to make sure I don’t get the virus I am being inoculated for?? If I don’t have the virus, then if I put some of it in me, what do you think is going to happen?? I might get the virus and get sick. HELLO!!
So needless to say we don’t get immunization shots, or anything.

12. Travel in airplanes often.
        We don’t really travel much. Last year, Alatariel, me and my dad flew down to New Mexico for a week, but we usually drive if we take trips. It is just to expense to fly, and we don’t think taking 7 kids to an airport is a good idea. We have thought about taking a train sometime. It might be fun.
We have no problems with infertility!! Let me tell you!! LOL!!

Check out and suggest on my last post: Bible Character of the Week

Yes, the Navy game was very special. :)
I think my grandad liked the album, too. I'm not too artsy, but I do appreciate making a good scrapbook. My mom just made one about our dog, and one about some rabbitts that the little ones found in the yard. They turned out cute!
I'm with you on the health stuff. I'm totally against tatoos--they are just creepy. As for immunizations, I'm under immunized. I have gotten some of them, I know when I have kids they will get very few. I do get a tetanus booster occasionally. I didn't get any of the Hepatitis series, chicken pox, flu,meningococcal conjugate, etc. I think the only ones besides tetanus that I got were polio and MMR.
The same goes with the rest of my family--although I think my one brother had the chicken pox, only because I had had the pox at the time, and if he would have caught it, with his preexisting condition, he probably wouldn't have made it.
I think if my kids got to a certain age, I would think about the chicken pox, only because if you get it as an adult all the problems you can get re fertility. If they didn't have chicken pox by late teens, I might think about.
As for flying, I've been on a plane once in my life. And I was a baby, so I don't remember it.. We are like you, we mostly drive cause of how expensive it is. Not to mention, it's fun to see the country. I would like to fly sometime--I think it would be a neat experince, but we always drive.

I'm not sure I agree completely.
I read a biography of Jonas Salk when I was in Junior High (when I was homeschooled) and I was amazed by that man. It's actually a testimony to God's design that our bodies CAN be exposed to a small amount of a virus and build up the immunities to resist it and remain immune to it forever. Polio was such a horrible disease that killed so many and left others weakened for the remainder of their lives. The discovery of the Polio vaccine was a miracle and truly a gift from God. Now whether the medical profession has gotten out of control since that point with the variety and number of vaccines is another matter.

I was very naive about the subject when my kids were first born and so I prayed that the Lord would give me wisdom and peace about whether or not to have them vaccinated, I felt at peace about having them get them and He has protected them thus far from any adverse reactions. Now that I am becoming more informed, I may discontinue future vaccines, I'll continue praying.

I do appreciate posts like this one, because they challenge me to really research and not just do what everybody else is doing or whatever the doctor says to do! I really need to get my hands on the book you're reading!

Thanks for your comments on my blog too!
Blessings,
Angel

Ok, the Smallville scoop- My bro says it's likely there WILL be a next season, what they have filmed so far doesn't point towards ending the story this season. Unless of course the show gets axed by the network, which is very unlikely, as it is a good money maker!!
I also asked him why he isn't credited on the show and he had no idea he wasn't! He doesn't know why, and when he finds out he will let me know!!
BTW - I am enjoying your excerpts from "The Makers Diet". Very informative!
Take good care
Kathleen

LOL Yeah, I change my blog a lot. The reason I did Little Women was because I found the avatars, and they inspired me to do a Little Women theme. :-) And, I just love that movie! I'm working on a Pride and Prejudice theme to put up soon, because I have the movie and have been on a English/Victorian-ish kick lately. Plus, I have like 10 different icons and avatars, and I want to use them!! LOL

Surprisingly, DOG hasn't had a lot of posts lately. You have been asked about, though. :-) You and Jocelyn both.

I like your posts, and the way you have your sidebar right now!

Hugs,
Becca

You mean flying can lead to infertility?

We don't get our immunizations either...it's really nonsensical when you think about it! Why would you jack up your likelihood of getting a worse disease than the one that you're getting immunized for, which is the most UNlikely disease that you'd contract anyway!!! (my dad's a nurse and he gets all steamed up about immunizations...lol)

I just read on your Mom's blog that you're reading David Copperfield...how ironic! So am I! And I just finished To Kill A Mockingbird which Jocelyn is apparently reading. :)

Oh my word I just realized something!!! When I was looking at the comment preview it said that I was the 2000th visitor to your blog!!! Wow...

How awesome is that? *sits in wonder/shock*
