Which is a good thing, cause I heard Meller is writing prescriptions.... :hippy:
:ugly:
That stuff's illegal, even with a doctor's note.... :copcar:
Not in California....
It is by federal law, and besides, she's in Misery.......Not that it would matter, we all know how rebellious hippies are.....:hippy:
:ugly:
But it's Organic! lol
Ah shore is glad we'all don't gotta have none a them deegree thingies ta post hyar.
To the people who were planning to go to OK right up to the last, who I invited to come up here to Prime Timer's campmeeting with us instead: We're having a great time. Wish you were here. "Elder" sure doesn't equal "old, dry, dead." :D
You nuts. I was only slightly shocked when I seen a minivan in front of me while picking Andrew up at school that said "Hemp is Hope."
Poor kid.
Soaking nuts for a lovely cheesecake later. I think we'll grill tonight & maybe run around enjoying this lovely weather.
Well doing no carbs and very little of anything this morning was probably a bad idea. Had a low blood sugar reaction while out and about and the only thing I had with me to bring it up was a small package of ketchup. It was disgusting but worked Thank God!!

Either Meller has a bunch of folks over, and/or is now a serial killer, or shes getting them a little *hic* soaked and/or sloshed...
Locked til the right time, you rebels! :bigcheese:

Another beautiful day here, weather wise. I'm congested with something, which rarely happens but then again, it's been a exceptional weekend in every way.
I love Mexican restaurants that serve free chips and salsa. We got to go to one, I get full almost on the chips/salsa... lol Andrew sat by some girls from the youth group for the first time at the restaurant. I'd glance down the table periodically to see him blushing occasionally. hehehehe
You know what? I LOVE that God has shown me that MOST people are not like some past negative experience(s). I am free to not be paranoid that new people are going to be like some past people. And I rather enjoy that. I used to think that I had happened upon exceptional people, which I have cause God is just that awesome. However, I think much broader now and have come to realize, I think perhaps a couple of years ago, that MOST people are much better than the supposed wisdom from experience that I had used to "protect" myself.
We had a new family come to visit, who is thinking about moving here. And you know what? I think they would fit in great and rather like them. Apostolic really does mean something valuable. ♥
Went to church. Went to eat. Came home and cried until I fell asleep.
Awww, Heather. *HUGS*
My friend Jennie is not doing well at all. Her blood pressure will not go down. Baby Marcus is doing great though!! Keep Jennie Price in your prayers please!!
I went to church tonight with Kimber...first time Ive been to a Sunday night service in awhile. Now we are at Cracker Barrel and she just ordered pancakes with a salad. I love this chick!
If you're at Cracker Barrel, try a vallomilk.
Too late. I didn't see that till I'm at home already.
First time I've been to Cracker Barrel and NOT ordered fried okra...at least in a long while.
I have had the most incredible weekend. I spent both days with wonderful Godly friends, enjoyed laughter and lots of hugs and have been to services for the past four days as well. Parties, fellowship, a car show, church services, resturants, youth service, all with friends. I have been blessed, and I know that God sees me. He has allowed the past two days to be FILLED to overflowing with all the nice things that I LOVE about my life, and I am sure it was JUST. FOR. ME.
The next few days, weeks, and even months are gonna be hard, and I am POSITIVE that God allowed this weekend to go so awesome cause He knew I would need to look back on it and remember this in the times that lay ahead.
So when things are hard for me in the future and I come here to unload, someone please remind me of this post. :D
I'd rather just slap you upside the head.
That will work too.
Now I must go to sleep. My eyes are crossing, and I can't keep them awake.
Packed eggs to ship to California and Georgia.
Morning everyone!
:ugly:
Brought Brandon's dog in to be spay today. You'd think his kid was going in for brain surgery or something. He wasn't even this nervous when I was getting checked and rechecked for cancer. Silly boys
Anyways at work for now. Dentist appointment at 345 for a cleaning and hopefully pulling of this chunked tooth. I say chunked because it's definitely more than a chip :)
Morning.... :hi: Heather, tooth pain is the worst! Hope eveything goes well. (and Mini, no comments on how I would know. :ugly: )
Well. Today is the day that dad has his leg cut off. He and I are about to go do a few things this morning and then we check in at the hospital at 1.
screams
Back at work. Wasn't ready to come back. Now I have to play catch up on all the stuff that didn't get done.
/me hugs mel and heather

Yes, you mentioned this before. Very expressive, but with a minimum of information content. Can you be more specific?

**hugs for mel and anyone else whom might need one today**
screams
Maybe there is a bird pecking the keys and his fingers periodically. I have no idea but I always imagine not just birds out in the farm but around Seth's house also, following him like he's a mother duck.
It's Andrew's last day of school! He gets out in a 1/2 hour. :clap: I'm looking forward to having both my kids home for the summer.
For the record, homemade whipped topping on homemade whole wheat sourdough toast is very good. Mmmmmm...
Great, now I have yet another thing I have to be careful not to overeat. Just what I need.

earplugs are great
Ice cream sandwiches seem to make your day go better.... :ugly:
Carnitas for supper.

*Slaps Seth several times and tells him to quit screaming and man-up!*
Go look for your amish people. :ugly:
/me continues to scream.
Eventually your voice will go out.
Save it for singing and preaching. :hypocrite:
So the gutted my tooth and put a whole bunch of filler in it. They are trying to talk me into doing a root canal then a crown. I'm from the land of not being able to come up with $500 so please pull it. The dentist and I are in a debate. I will win. It's my mouth.
PLEASE pray for Jennie Price. They had to go in today and drain fluid from around her heart and in her lungs. She was moved to ICU for the night. Baby Marcus is doing absolutely remarkable.
HeatherB - Funny, I come from that land too. And my dentist was talking about lots of look-good stuff, caps, crowns, etc... I told him "Look, I just want to keep from having toothaches and be able to eat without it hurting. I don't care how it looks." He said "okay" and we went on from there. :roll:
In other news, I came home at lunch break to get a phone number from the church directory and make a phone call. And I sure am glad I forgot to get the number and bring my phone with me to work, because Grandma had fried squash for supper. Beats what I was planning on eating. :D
I am praying for the situations that have been listed in this thread and others.
There are so many of us that have things going on, but God knows, and I'm glad to know the "I AM".
The other night we had Bro. Andrus with us, and he made a statement that I will not soon forget, I hope someone here get's as much from it.
He said, "I do not care what the situation is you may be going through, even if the door IS locked, You have to remember Nothing is Impossible for God. God IS the door and when you ARE the door you do NOT need a key. God can Unlock any situation."
I know that God can and will, but sometimes we need reminding of JUST how Big our God is, He is so good to me!
In other sharing, Mel did not mention that we were going to see my Pastor from Cali, he was down for a visit and I've not seen him in two years. It was wondeful to see him again. We are going to do lunch soon and catch up on life.
I went today and printed out flyers for my grandfather, they needed them for the campmeeting services they are having soon, they flyers come out lovely and I was actually proud of myself.
I am suppose to help with some of the food prep for that weekend and I'm totally ready to cook for those people.
The title for the car come in and my grandfather added me to his insurance today, I am really excited, I've still not heard any more on the job but I have a God that provides.
For some reason I just want to cry, my emotions are all over the place, I'm excited and scared ... Life comes with good and bad, I'm trying to learn how to truly worship in all situations, so far so good... Gotta keep on pressing on!
Has anyone heard from Mel? How is her dad?

Has anyone heard from Mel? How is her dad?
Talked to her via text just a few ago. Her Dad came through it fine.....From the texts, I'd say it was an emotional day, but all's good.... :thumbsup2:
Here I am.
Yeah it was an emotional day. I lost it when I walked into the room and saw his stump. But Im ok. Granny and Ann stayed with me ALL DAY. I am so thankful for my friends. And we had others there as well. My SILs mother, Pastor and his wife, my cousin, and a couple from the church. Everyone pretty much stayed all day, and the phone calls and texts coming in were great, people checking on him all day.
Dad came thru ok, he is in a lot of pain, but when we left, he was his usual self...flirting with the nursing staff, and making bad jokes about amputees. SMH.
We are home now. I just ate a sandwich, and I'm headed to bed soon.
screams
/me hugs cheese
I'm at work.
Im plotting. :ugly:
I'm fixing to clean the house a bit. They just took Dad back to dialysis, so there is no reason to go up there to see him for the next 5 hours.
So I'm gonna clean the kitchen, do some laundry and then get ready and go clean the church before I head to the hospital.
One of Sethers women needs to just plant a smacker on him...maybe that'll control his screams. :freaky2:
Glad everything is okay Melbs!!! :hug:
Is Seth developing terrets? However you spell it...
Off to clean the church with my mumchkins. Andrew is an overgrown mumchkin but still and will always be one. (http://gfxlovers.com/smilies/imgs/girly/girly004.gif)

Tank you veddy much.
BAM! Sold my brother's old ps1 and some games on eBay for $50! Also sold his old iPhone (original) and iPhone 3g...also both for $50 apiece.
The more I do the more there is to do.
Screams.
Well, you asre beginnning to express yourself a bit, Seth!
John :waving:
I got the loveliest gift from Jenn! Those Duckie earphones I saw in January!
Thanks Jenn! You rock!
I'm at the hosp with Dad. He is in lots of pain, but his spirits are good. :)
No Newsman, Seth has been expressive throughout. Screaming is very expressive. It was information content we lacked, which has finally been provided in his most recent post. True, it is only information we have received dozens, even hundreds of times already, but still a step up from just screaming. :)
I'm sitting here at work.. one hour to go.. doing work and just decided to pop on for a moment.
I think I'm going to hit up our city library tonight and HOPEFULLY get an account so I can check out a book! :) Everything has been SOO difficult involving this name-change business.. I feel like I've been jumping through hoops for two months, haha. Hopefully THIS weekend we can change my plates for my car, because they expire May 31.. haha.
What's so hard about changing something to Spud Duty? :P
Went to town to the feedstore(s) and such..... I hate town...
Eating an RBP.
I need to go to work tomorrow cause I have too much to get done.....*cries*
Then screams.
At least it's not 24° out while you have to do it.
At least you don't have to do all that with a catheter bag.
At least you aren't stuck doing customer service at Walmart the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas.
At least you aren't a starving Etheopian with nothing to do but die.
:goodmod:
Well....I have survived the day. Got through Auntie's funeral without losing it, and even got complimented on the service, with folks telling me she would've been very happy with my message. All in all....not bad. While it's always hard losing someone you care about, it is made infinately easier knowing that they had a walk with God. Even more awe-inspiring when folks tell you about their past, then says they could really see a difference in the decease' life and that the deceased credited you with leading them to the truth..... Really a different spirit at a funeral like that than one where the deceased is obviously living in sin....
Thanks to each and every one of you that said a prayer for me today. I wouldn't have made it through it without them. :waving:
And now I'm gonna unwind and relax before work tomorrow.....
Walked 2.7 miles tonight. Finally got back to the rec...my walking buddy had some sort of nasal surgery. So we've not walked in like 3 weeks!~ EEK.
So glad we're back to it!
Now..I sleepy...:yawn:

Plenty hard Cheeto! Lol..
It took us a whole month to get my DL changed..and going on like 3 weeks trying to get my plates changed.

In other news, I just got a call from a "Jim" from the forum. Now who do I know on the forum who's real name is Jim...
Turns out it was the admin of the now-closed Apostolic Man Forum, that UPCI Men's Ministry used to run. Coming through TN and thought he'd call and see if I was in shooting distance of the interstate.

Not sure which of my methods you're referring to but I certainly agree with completing the task. ;) A good cast iron skillet should do the trick.
And you should all be happy to know that I'll bore you less with healthiful information. A friend invited me to a group that Adina's also on about healthiness and I'm so excited to read and share!
Pastor taught more on personal spiritual discipline last night, mainly about getting into the Word. It was so good but that's how God's Word is.
Bah to you all. And for the record, Mellers method of punishment involves wax... :ugly:
Been brush hogging (you know, that does not look right for a mowing task...) all morning at work.
Got Sam started up (battery was a little weak), and getting him ready for his first ever church trip tonight. We are having a huge kids service and he gets to go sit on the lawn where everyone who drives by can see him.

Read this and it made me stop and think:
Isaiah 59:4 No one enters suit justly;
no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
There is ALWAYS two sides to the story, and that verse could apply to all lawyers! :ugly:

And slightly related- I thought of you today, Meller. We got a report of someone trying to register a stolen vehicle at the Department of Finance. Got over there and arrested the subjects, who looked like Woodstock, 1969 had been hard on them and they still hadn't recovered. Walked over to check out the "stolen" ride and would easily fail a drug test now, due to the contact high. Enough stems and seeds from your pretty little weed to make a bonfire. :laughhard:
Went to work, came home. I hate work. :P
I HAVE A CAR!!!!
I am so excited! Not sure how I will pay for it, but it's a start, My God will supply!
Why do people laugh when I tell them I went and Test drove a 1982 Datsun 210b Deluxe?
My friend Jennie had to spend 2 days in ICU. She was brought back to a regular room today and may get to go home tomorrow. The baby has to remain in the hospital for at least 3 weeks due to his premie status. They did take him from under his jaundice light today though. Jennie and her family all say thank you for the prayers!!
Glad she is doing better, Lady Heather! Thank you, Jesus!
You know, without even misquoting or taking out of context, you followed an allusion that brings to mind your Brazilian Bikini Wax (BBW) days with brush hogging....

I work my first truck today at nine. Say a prayer for me.
:hi: Howdy. I'm at work.
I had a horrible night. Fitful dreams. Kept waking myself up cause I was talking gibberish and yelling in my sleep. Couldn't get comfortable. Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. My whole head is stuffed this morning and my throat is sore. I tannot breefe fru mi nose. Like AT ALL. I've already taken two sudafed with no luck.
OY.
Ok, that's my complaining for the day. I'm headed to take a hot shower to maybe loosen up all this mess in my nasal passages. Then going to a bakery on the way to the hosp to look for that cookie cutter I need.
Hopefully dad gets moved to the other hospital today! Yay!

You ain't kidding brother. (I'm assuming you mean unloading, checking and putting away the truck order.) I'd almost rather dig ditches than do truck again.
Doing truck was one of the few things I actually liked when I worked in a store.
Truck wasn't to bad actually it was the first one and huge inventory so he called in 4 guys for it and we knocked it out in under two hours. I actually enjoy truck. I guess it's one of those mindless task which makes me good at it. lol
Headed back in at 4 for a huge meeting of all employees. Then to go look at the Datsun again. If it runs good and gets the gas mileage they claim if I buy it I might just take a road trip. lol
Picked up the Manuals for Ready for Battle and they look great!! Thinking about putting together a teachers manual to go along with them in case someone else wants to use it.

Sounds great Taco. It takes good character to do both intellectual things and physical labor.
It's a lovely day here. Did some very basic chemical concoctions with the kids this morning. It may be preschool things but it reiterates the things they've learned over the years.
very simple catapult sending Ollie dog to fetch bites...lol made from a box, wire, rubberbands, pencils and milk cap.
airing up the balloon with carbon monoxide made from vinegar and baking soda.
oxidizing exothermic "Elephant Toothpaste" made from yeast, water, peroxide and dishsoap.
I have to do something or my kids will spend all day, everyday lost in fantasy world reading. Reading is great, but by some point, it's no more profitable than watching tv. There's only so much you can sit on your backside and be entertained by shallow fiction.
I need to find some more GOOD books for Andrew.
Something cool, is at cell group last night we all made ourselves accountable to be in God's Word. Andrew decided that he was going to read 3 chapters a day, and Hannah one. That I love!
Three chapters a day, plus or minus, is the whole Bible in a year, basically what adults do on the read-the-Bible-in-a-year plan. How old is this guy again?
Speaking of chemical concoctions, try the osmosis demonstration. Take a raw egg, carefully chip off a bit of shell at the bottom, stick a straw in a hole at the top, set the egg in a cup of water filled not quite to the top of the egg. The egg will go up the straw, demonstrating there is water being sucked in the bottom through osmosis. Careful not to puncture the membrane at the bottom with the straw, or when chipping off the shell.
I also used to LOOOOVE truck day! Nothing like the solitude of the stock room and freezers to calm your nerves!
Dad hopped to the door of his room and back today! Yay! Now he is resting. I took a short nap earlier till they came in here and started messing with him and waking us up! Lol
Now I'm eating a turkey sandwich on rye and chillin out till time to go home and get ready for church.
Where is everybody?? I have spent the day paying bills, cooking, and working on Rusty. Drove the vette to town with Chey today, parked a few spots down from a brand new red Z06 Corvette- around $70K worth of machine. :o I was pleasantly surprised when a older guy stopped and complimented my old rag of a Corvette, telling me that he had owned an '82. Before we walked away from speaking with him, a lady in her 40s stopped, asked me what year it was, and complimented me as well. She then walked over to the Z06 and said, "This one is nice too, but the payments are killer!" I was surprised that she would even stoop to the level to talk to a lowly C4 owner....
After I got home, I worked on Rusty, which caused me to need to repent. The things I wished on the idiot that placed that plug in the head....... :laughhard: He's closer to cruising though, this time for good I hope.
Now, my back hurts and I'm tired. Lou has gone to bed early, and Chey is playing. And now you are up to date on my life. :thumbsup2:
We're right here, watching this storm coming in.

My new old Datsun as of tomorrow. lol
Yes all 6'5 of me fits in it. lol
As long as it runs congrats Taco!
My parents are buying a new car for....my sister....There are a whole bushel of bitter things I could say here but I'm not surprised.
Jennie got to come home today!!!
Taco - that's one of the benefits of being married to a clown....you learn how to fit into tiny cars. :P
Glad your friends are doing well, vetgirl.
I have to go to bed in a few, lovely work again tomorrow...er...today....TGIF.
Taco my barber drives a grey one of those. Seems to run with no trouble for him.
I. Am. Sick.
My throat is nearly closed up and on fire, and I still can't breathe through my nose. No amount of blowing clears anything away.
Bad dreams that I cant quite remember, and fitful sleep again. It's only 4:40 am and I'm wide awake in pain.
Bleh.
Aw Mel :( If I had enough gas money I'd bring you some soup....
Early shift at work today then my 3 day weekend. Early shift means I get to leave for the day right when the rush starts :)
TGIF and off on Monday :bigcheese:
Saturday is my birthday.
Happy early birthday then! It's an anniversery tomorrow too. ;)
I feel LOTS better. I'm not sure what time it was, but I was moaning in pain and mom came in here and gave me a lortab. Lol I HATE taking meds, but apparently took it, (I don't quite remember it, I was in so much pain at the time) and I went back to sleep. I'm awake now and my throat is only slightly hurting and my nose is mostly clear! Yay!
I called the hospital and Dad is in dialysis, so Ill head up there at about 11. He is supposed to be transferred today for sure.
In other news, I bought a pool yesterday. A kiddy pool, but it's really big! Not one of those cheap hard plastic ones. This one is the round "family" size blow up ones.
I can't wait to set it up, but I guess I'll wait till either this afternoon or tomorrow. I'm gonna get tan this summer. I'm tired of being so white!
Oh no Mel. Rest rest & more rest. Wish I could bring you soup too.
Thundering, lightening, pouring rain since last night. Wish I didn't have to get groceries in it. We have all the windows open, it's nice.
Well I have insurance on a car that I don't have yet. Was hoping to get tags for it today, but the guy wont tell me when he is gonna bring it over so I can get the tittle. I am tired!! Done a few errands and church stuff. Got to meet someone else at the church at 1 and then more errands and set-up for Ready for Battle. Praying for tonight the whole time. I need a vacation after this weekend!! DMV may have to wait till the Tuesday after memorial day rush.
I can't rest. Who would take care of my dad?
I have a monster of a headache right now. I'm fixing to get a shower.
Sis. Sandra: With your family being so much like mine I'm guessing you'll be busy on your birthday, so happy birthday today, for tomorrow.
Sis. Melody: Allergies stink. Ditto for sinus headache. :(
Taco: Bonne chance mon ami.
I am amazed. I just 2 conversations in the last 2 days with 2 different Apostolic women that believe in vegetarianism. That eating meat is cruel to animals.
Do you believe that Meller? :eyebrow:
Anyone heard from Roscoe?
No. I feel that there is too much scripture that shows God is for eating meat. However, I think if we're going to use that to justify eating meat, that it should be God intended meat. If I agree that things done outside of God's created plan is perverted like sex outside of marriage/gay marriage, then I feel like I need to be honest and apply that across the board. Genetically mutated and chemical drenched and hormone injected food is not God's way and isn't good for us. It's actually pretty simple. Go God's natural way or don't call it God's way.
I probably sound crazy and the thought can be overwhelming because this world has gotten so out of submission/truth that deception and perversion seem to permeate everywhere. I'm so thankful for His pure Word or I don't know what non-sense I'd fall for. Mainly because I know some of the non-sense I have fallen for before I seen the truth in scripture.
Practicing that is a lot harder and I'm thankful for grace but I do feel convicted to do things God's way.
I was gonna say...
I personally like beef. And venison. And chicken. And pork. And elk. And fish. And...well...you get the idea.
My biggest gripe with some extreme vegetarianism or vegan folks is the "protect the animals" mentality. I am not a advocate of animal cruelty by any means, but I do not think a dog or a cat (or a cow for that instance) should have more rights than a person.
Also, I find it very offensive that a person will take a choice (vegetarianism or veganism) and try to make it a Biblical principle. It is not a Biblical principle, its your choice.
And I think God put those animals here as a sustainable food source, much like vegetables, fruit, and grain. And they sustain us through many ways, like meat, milk and eggs. Again, my opinion is that you can go overboard on any of it. Too much grain, to much meat, to much of anything, and the result is not good. Our bodies need certian things, its the build up of excess that leads to problems. Which is why fasts are so important...but thats a whole other subject.
And let me also say I disagree with people who like CHOCOLATE GRAVY!!!
As long as you don't try to say the Bible speaks against chocolate gravy. :P
I think I agree with both Meller and Mini...
All I know is trying to find and eat the way I feel God intended me to is SO HARD.
I'm so tired of feeling SO bad every single day, because I'm not eating right. But it does take money, and time to eat correctly to not effect my body, and I'm so lost in the whole thing. I feel like a complete failure when it comes to eating correctly, and it convicts me SO much, but I'm not sure what to do.
MAJOR TOTS! I AM WAY BEYOND EXCITED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just fulfilled a life long dream about 2 seconds ago. Pictures forthcoming!
Jenn, as complicated as it seems it can get I really believe the Bible makes it simple.
Eat whole fresh natural foods. Some take a bit of work for digestion but that is what God told Adam in the first scripture that contained the word Bread. That Adam was going to have to work for it. I think it's pretty cool how we could go off and say that we should just eat straight wheat berries but God mentioned that as the first food that required work. Also, I realize that scripture also uses bread as a general food word, so I'm not trying to read into it but do think God's Word goes deep.
The Bible lays out things that are good. And Jenn, when I don't know the answer, when I can't seem to afford to do it the best way, I know there is grace. That doesn't mean I should just eat junk food because to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin. So food is not sin, but a person's conscience, especially when we know the Word of God, convicts us. I think some put way too much emphasis on food, and yet there are countless others that act like faith is our justification for sin/ignorance. If we reap what we sew, then how can we expect for God to heal us miraculously when we purposely trash our bodies? What a contradiction. We know this body is a temple, we know it affects our thoughts, emotions and availability to obedience to the Word physically.
I agree with you Jeremy. I think if we fasted more, we'd care about food less. But I also think there is a ignorance among some Christians that replace God given sense for a pendelum of spirituality and carnal lust. Fasting 3 days on water and then eating greasy fast food meat and sugar becomes counter active at some point.
1Ti 4:2-8 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
Tired, whooped, exhausted. Getting ready for service and also bought the Datsun and spent the time to go to DMV and get it registered. So for at least the next week it is street legal till the inspection expires. Please pray for us tonight!!
Wow. Y'all got all spiritual while I was away. Lol
We got dad moved to the local hospital! :hyper: I'm glad!
Allow me to say that I agreed with MiniSkirt, right up until the slam against Chocolate Gravy, which, as anyone with 1/2 an ounce of common sense or more knows, is the nectar of God and will be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, along with fried Bologny and cathead buttermilk biscuits.
Anyone that disagrees, is lost and I shall pray for them. :hypocrite:
Now that's settled, and I am off to take Chey to her grandma's for the night.
I like bacon. I think Brandon should also buy me a steak for dinner. Just my thoughts.
I had a friend from church (who I've known for 12 years) tell me basically she's too busy to be my friend. Gotta love church people.......

Yes, cause we are all just the worst at friendships... :roll:
What is required to be your friend?
And shouldn't all your fabulous non-church friendships make up the difference?
:o
was that too snippy for you Seth? I said it with total light hearted sarcasm... lol
Have any of you ever studied Nehemiah's building project? Specifically chapter 3. It's been on my mind. It was almost like a begats chapter to me (those still illude my interest) until I read a bit of commentary on it. Then it totally came alive! Matthew Henry does a good job of breaking it down.
What I got out of it: the nobles of the Tekoites were snobs and didn't contribute. And nobody really cared. The rest, including the Tekoites, not only did "their" part, but went on to help in another area. The unity of it all is pretty cool.
Wore out!! Seeing young people learning, worshiping, and praying though was worth it and more!! Already looking forward to tomorrow!!
lordy my legs are achingggggg - weird....:yawn:
Me. Bed. Now. Night!

Aww, growing pains....our little Fairy Cake is growing up.
:hi: Morning. Gonna be a busy day seems like.
For someone your age I'm sure getting up and hobbling to the bathroom is a busy day.
Seth judging by complaints registered versus time, you're more than three times as old as she.
My throat is all closed up and when I shine a flashlight in my mouth to look at it, it's all swollen and white and yucky looking. I know y'all really want to hear all that. :roll:
If its this bad tomorrow, I WILL NOT be singing. I just coughed and felt like I had to throw up, but I didn't, but the action of it on my throat made me tear up. IT HURTS!
I'm trying again to fill up the pool I bought. I tried last night, and apparently didn't lay it out properly. It was half full and I had to drain it and try again today. It's straight now, and filling up again. I hope I don't use all the water and drain our well. Lol
Sounds like strep throat, darling poopsie.
It feels some better now.
And I waited for the bus in the yard today.
Summer is great. The kids love helping keep the car clean... (http://urduart.com/gallery/data/682/girly025_2.gif)
Hey, you guys ever try this? You put cloves in lemon halves and it's supposed to repel flies. For whatever reason, I have flies congregating at my front door and it's hard to not let them in when we come in and out.

I also seen the baggie full of water and pennies that supposed to keep them away with the reflection. So I just put a baggie out, it doesn't look like it's doing much. lol
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS.SANDRA! Sounds like your day is going fantabulastic. :)
I have sprayed vinegar on dogs ears when flies were eating on them.
Well the Datsun was going great, then i drove to the grocery store. Seems something happened and now it is idling rough. Spitting sputtering unless you give it gas and are moving. Several things run through my mind it might be. We will see God is in control of even car motors!! Will just have to pray it is a simple fix or God heals it before next week.
The youth event was phenomenal!! You could feel the presence of God in every session. The crowd today was much smaller but as i told them the Navy Seals start out with a large group of applicants but very few make past the first day. So those youth who showed up today I called our commando squad. lol I think every Apostolic youth would benefit from teaching like this. God is good!!
Still haven't got to swim in my pool. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow.
my ankle hurts now, from where I fell.
Going to bed. Fdhjts!
Merning.

I would have no friends if it weren't for my non-apostolic church friends and non-church friends. Just FYI.
I'm up. Deciding if I even want to go church or not.
If I didn't have sign team, and didn't have to get this free food for the homeless this morning, I would be still in bed and not even care.
I'm hurting and sick. *sigh*
HeatherB: Sounds like the old "Divide and conquer" trick. Which is one of satan's favorite tricks, I've seen it work many times.
w2cch.....
:smirk2:
Heather, I'm your friend. Regardless of whether or not we ever get to do coffee together. :) *hugs*
Nothing much to share, but I wanted to swing by GP and say howdy to everyone. :hi:
:beret:
Whew. Long day. But it's over and I can rest.
Just got home, turned on the hose to finish filling the pool, may finally get a swim later.
Now the air conditioning in the house is acting up. :smirk2: it's set on 73, and the inside temp says its 85...UMMM...thats a problem...considering that the radio said it got up to 100 here today.
I'm fixing to go tear it apart and see what the deal is.
Yep. Coils are froze up. Which means we have to turn it off all the way and let it thaw and dry out. Maybe all night. Oy. Or I could plug in the space heater in the hallway.
I think that's what I'll do. Then go get in my pool! Yay.
Well, I consider Gp regulars as friends so I it throws me when you're get but clearly saying you don't have church/apostolic friends. I talk to you on here, read your posts, even pray for needs you share.
I finally got to spend some much needed relaxation time in my pool! Yay!
Stopping in to say hi. My Internet is down at home.
Hoed and watered the garden. Gotta tend fowl. Eating a RBB right now though.
Yippee! Internet is working. :bigcheese:
Still hot. The air prolly won't be thawed till tomorrow. Going to bed now.
Tomorrow we won't have to go to the hospital till after 6 in the evening. Dad has therapy all morning, then dialysis in the afternoon and won't be done and able to have visitors till after 5:30.
Gonna sleep in, rest, do some laundry and some cleaning before I go up there.
:hi:
Yippee! Now you can hit Craigslist!
What? Not everyone keeps tabs on Craigslist postings all the time? ???
Howdy!
Howdy yourself.
What is everyone doing with this wonderful day off?
Me, I'm tinkering with a friend's computer that was doing things it ought not do.
Man....quiet as a church mouse in here.
I'm at work. Had to make a mad dash to move my car- I'd parked in the Governor's spot since it's a holiday and he never comes in on them....then I hear the radio advising me he's on the way. :-\
I got the car moved just in time to see the Guv drive up in his personal ride- a '06 Cadillac XLR-V- basically a Corvette in Caddy clothing.
Of course I had to ask about it, and had quite a nice chat with the governor, who is alot cooler to talk to when he's in blue jeans and a polo shirt than when he's in suit and tie. He found out I had a Corvette, and told me he's been a Corvette enthusiast for years, having owned a '76,'77, and a '79. He said his wife made him get rid of his '79 when he campaigned for Senate years ago. Seems she didn't like a two seater corvette with four kids..... :laughhard:
He said he got even by buying the Supercharged Caddy, and said it would spank the 'vette. I told him I'd not be able to do his job and own that car, because I'd leave security behind and be plastered on the front page of the papaer for speeding, whereupon he said, with a sly grin "Well, it'll do 200..." That might explain why the security guy with him was kinda pale.... :o
Days like today, I realize- this is actually a pretty cool job.. :thumbsup2:
And when I started that post it WAS quiet... :laughhard:
That's life in the fast lane kiddo.
So if you're at work (on Memorial Day?) I guess you won't be using this national holiday to come up here and visit. Rats.
Yay for pools and internet!
Roscoe, that sounds like a pretty cool moment. Makes me wonder the influence you have for God in those circles few of us breach. Awesome.
Isaac, I bet you are the go to guy in church for all things computers. It feels good to be needed.
We went to the Memorial Day symphony concert yesterday afternoon with a bunch of friends. The weather was absolutely wonderful, full out nice breeze the whole time. They said there was 50k there but it didn't feel that crowded. The fireworks were awesome too, better than any 4th of July's we've found for the last couple of years. And these were to symphony music!
I had a visitor in my greenhouse (http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/576710_3725016357100_1026609268_32920941_375863265_n.jpg)
I still feel bad today, and the air is still broke. It was 86 degrees last night...finally got to 84, and right now it's 81 inside the house.
I need to go clean the kitchen and clean out the fridge but it's too HOT! I may put something in the crock pot for dinner. Don't know yet.
It's a good day though...I dont mean to be complaining so much lately. I'll try not to do that so much anymore.

Don't know about the influence...I'm sure the Governor and others here don't know my name, I'm just one of the minions that service them.. :biglaugh: It IS cool to be able to speak to people who are greater successes,and of higher positions of life, as far as the world goes, than I'll ever be though. Maybe, sometime, they'll see something different in me and realize it's not just too many donuts. :laughhard:

I hate that, Mel. And complaining-wise, well, we ALL have days of that.........Here, I don't consider it complaining as much as a statement of fact and a plea for prayers... :thumbsup2: :P
Well the computer is fixed, taken back to the friend and it no longer does the things it ought not do. For now. I found out after the default Norton junk expired, they have been online without an antivirus for months, so that might explain it. Antiviruses are free though - Microsoft's own Security Essentials is pretty good, just by itself.
Now I have chili brewing on low heat for tonight, and I have settled in with a glass of homemade whipped topping blended with cranberry juice. :D
Think I'll go tinker with a soundtrack now.
Church is clean, praise God... lol I put dinner in the crockpot this morning. Chicken apple stew. It's a new recipe. It doesn't really taste of apple. It called for caraway seeds, which smell like pumpernickle bread and makes me want some.
I was talking to my sister today and she said she can get things like diapers and other stuff cheaper at Target than Wal-mart but that it's better quality. I was shocked. Seems Target is always more pricey, though I do like their stuff more.
If any of you guys shop at Target, here's some savers' tips: http://www.mommysavers.com/2011/01/deals-at-target-clearance/ (http://www.mommysavers.com/2011/01/deals-at-target-clearance/)
I bought bicycling gloves for $2 cheaper at Target. Same brand. Was glad I stopped in there.
I've been doing basic crochet stitch for like 2 years and my crochet yogi finally taught me to do granny squares. Hello blankies!!
Went to work, came home. Shew.
Hmmm....
Prices at Wal-Mart can be a bit um... off. Some things you can get cheap, but they have sneaky software (yes, I said software) that analyzes what people buy, what people who buy that will also buy, and what they can get away with raising the price on without losing sales.
A pair of JVC Marshmallow earbuds, normally around $10, are a flat $20 at Wal-Mart. I mention these in particular because they have a really good flat frequency response, and are (to me) worth a good $60, but if I can get them for ten bucks I ain't paying twenty. :P But most people who need earbuds will just go to Wal-Mart and pick some up, without even doing a simple google or amazon search to compare. So yes, they can get away with it. And do.
I do not go to Walmart....and if I do..I go to the Neighborhood Walmart. I LOATHE Walmart. It's too busy, and they never have anything that you need and it's SO BUSY. I hate that.
I love Target. They'll always get my business over Walmart.
I loathe Target. ;) IMO, poor quality, and high prices for said poor quality. I'm thinking it must depend on what kind of stuff each person/family buys or something. 'Cause I have a lot of friends who are budget shoppers that really like Target. For some reason I've not found it so for me. *shrug*
Busy, busy, busy day. But we got a lot of stuff done, so I guess that's good. :) My feet hurt though.
Mel dearie, I haven't noticed that you've been complaining much. From what I've seen (and apparently Officer Bob, too) you're more just stating fact. There's a difference. :)
:beret:
Thanks y'all, every time I post about my troubles and things I feel like such a whiner. Lol
Today was good...but HOT! Dear mercy! It was 91 outside and 87 inside! Air is still not working. I'm calling the air conditioner place tomorrow morning. I have a fan on me now, and I'm fixing to read some more Narnia before I pass out.
Dad has been in a not-so pleasant mood the past few days. I hope he gets over that soon. Other than his grumpyness he is doing good.
I have a lot on my mind right now, and really, I can't even put it all into words. So to try to explain would be beyond my ability.
Please keep praying for us. We need it.
Target here is part of the mall, and on the east side of town not far from IU campus, and it's always teeming with young shoppers....there's old people too, but it's like the college store though. Wal-Mart is out on the west side of town, and it's always working like a swarm of maggots with every type of person imaginable. lol And there's a Kmart east and west...east is right across the road from Target, but Kmart is never very busy and it's all the old people.
But anyways, I must go to bed so I can go work tomorrow.......Lord....
Good morning. :)
Wishing I was just down the road from you, Mel. .
It's early. I just might go back to bed.
Haha! Why is that?
I'm up for the moment. Been texting a friend this morning already. She is having some major issues...again. I may go back to sleep in a bit.
Morning. I'm at work.
I didn't get any part of the thing I wanted to get done yesterday, but I got a lot of stuff done that I hadn't even thought about doing, but I'm glad I got done instead.
Good extended weekend. Now back to work.
I don't think anyone here will fall for this, but just for your information - here's the new spam trick.

Hate to bother you ,
I have a question- have you seen this picture of yours in attachmen>t?? Three facebook friends sent it to me today. .. why did you put it online? wouldn't it harm your job? what if parents see it? you must be way cooler than I thought about you man :)))) !
Of course it comes with an attachment that is (ostensibly) a picture, and of course it's really an .exe file, aka a virus. This wouldn't have a hope of working because everyone would see the .exe at the end of the file name, but Windows, even in Windows 7, still has the really, really stupid default setting "Hide extensions for known file types."
I do have to give them credit for playing on FB users' fears of privacy breaches.
Can't imagine what idiot would open that. But there are always plenty. Probably the ones that have naked pictures in existance. :roll: Then I kinda feel like they totally deserve the virus... lol
Just for the record, I like WM over Target. I never can find the things I need in Target, and the prices seem higher for lower quality products.
I don't choose quantity over quality. I don't like being pushed and the back to back lines like Walmart has. I loathe it! I don't use stuff until the bottle is so dry that I'm scraping another use out with my finger. When I was a kid Mom would always go back into the store if her cans of green beans rang up at 59 cents instead of the 55 cents they were supposedly priced at. Stuff like that doesn't bother me...the whole confrontation of having to go back and tell the cashier they were wrong and I need money back...doesn't appeal to me...lol
Having a blah day. Headache...my eye has twitched since last night....it won't stop. I CANNOT focus because of it today.
Oh my goodness Jenn, you should make a silly video with your twitching eye! lol
I have notice that stores are different in different areas. I have been in some horrid Walmarts and then shocked when I have walked into one in a "nice" part of town. BIG difference! Even some of the products are different. Stores can tailor to some extent. The Costco I go to has good prices, however, I've been told the Costco on the Kansas side competes with an Aldi's and thus has GOOD milk for under $2! I haven't been to that one.
I am sad that the only good bug repellent I have found is California Baby's brand but apparently our Target no longer carries the brand. :-(
You can't seeee the twitch lol....I can just feel it.
aww man! Oh the fun you could have if it could be seen. You could pretend to be the crazy lady.
Pretend? She IS the crazy lady! She likes Target over WM. :nono:
The A/c guy is here!!!
Whoot! The air may be working soon!!
Target is... creepy. They knew a teen girl was pregnant before her dad did. In fact her dad found out from the advertisement fliers she got in the mail.
Melody, hooray! In the summer, in the south, the a/c guy is a very popular person. :D
Shew....its busy here!
Weeeellll.... we all have an easier time getting up from our chairs... I imagine you couldn't get here as fast... (Loved that picture by the way! Hilarious, and Nathan has SO done that before.)
I wish my work phone would stop ringing. blah.
Leave it off the hook...I've been guilty of that at work before. :hypocrite:
Well...a/c guy is here, and while the service call is free...he found the problem. A rusted out part on the outside unit. So $300 will be added to the bill that we already owe them. Dad is not gonna be too thrilled about THAT. But we have to have air. The last few days have been unbearable. :smirk2:
I am thankful for my Dads good name and our standing credit with this awesome a/c company. They are the best in the area.
In another 30 mins or so, we should be cooling down. :D

Fixing to go cook us an early dinner, since we haven't had lunch yet. :)
Yay and rats.
Rats because I just checked my checking account balance and it was in the red, where I thought I had some money in there. Turns out I forgot my car insurance, which is an automatic monthly withdrawal.
Yay because I just happened to check my balance today for no good reason, and caught them before I got overdraft charges.
no fun Isaac.
So I'm making this yummy sounding casserole but I don't know how to pronounce it. Beef and Potato Moussaka, it's supposed to have a Greek-ish flavor. Oh and the Chicken Apple Stew last night was a hit. Yummy stuff and nobody knew which chunks were apple and which were potato. If it hadn't had potatoes in it, I could've served it with rolls but we don't need that much carbs. I think I'd be totally ok with going between grilling and making crockpot meals all summer... lol
Went to work, came home.
I was in Target again....I acquiesced to going in there for one call this week. They need to not rely on me for it though, I don't want it and don't have time for it. :demand:
And the boss has weird ideas about an issue at a Dollar General store....to make the long story short, and make sense in layman's terms...
The store had a remodel of the card department recently, and part of the fixtures (shelving and such) was not able to be finished due to stuff the store lacked. There was also 4 feet of space not available that the card company had planned for. So that means that there's cards to fill 4 feet worth of space packed in boxes in back because there's no room to display them. (It includes the sympathy cards, etc...)
Well, the store has the stuff to finish things up now....but there is still no room for a 4 foot section, but the store was going to give us the end cap, which would be like 3 feet of space.
To me, that makes sense....we would just need the parts to build the shelving for that in place of the 4 footer, and then that section of cards would have to be condensed (dropping some from display) to fit the 3 feet.
Well the boss says no way, they're not giving us an end cap, we'll just have to have a revision of the department to make the cards fit (meaning the entire department, or at least a large portion of it will have to have the cards all moved and redone in it to make things refit).....
That makes no sense to me.... Leave everything that's on display alone, have the company send us a new 3 foot cabinet section to put up, and have them redraw the layout to make all that boxed up stuff fit in 3 feet. That seems much more sensible to me....we'd have more space and more product on display and wouldn't have to redo anything that's already there.
But that's her baby, not mine. I don't know why she acts so appalled that they want to give us the endcap.
Not my problem, I am but the lowly peon.
Anyways....
I need to go tend fowl and such..... *sigh*
I have to pack egg shipments tonight. And work again tomorrow.
Doesn't end cap stuff sell better?

Potentially. The end caps are kind of hot retail space... :smirk2:
I don't see why she's against setting an end cap, it wouldn't be anymore of a problem than redrawing the entire department....
As it is right now, the Sympathy (and maybe a few other 'thinking of you' type) cards are not on display at all.
So they (meaning the corporate account rep or whoever is in charge of that) will either have to shave down and remove card designs from all the other sections to squish them together and make room for some Sympathy in the existing space, or else if the end cap was added on, all that would have to be shaved down would be that section itself and everything else could be left as it is.
I dunno....
I had a revelation about my family issues. I essentially am a large part of the good qualities each of my parents possess. Whereas my sister has a couple good but she got a LARGE part of the bad. And I have to say seeing the road she's going down I'm very glad for my portion....
Work was INSANE today. Waiting room full most of the day and the phone ringing nonstop. Tuesday's are rough generally because there are 3 receptionist but 1 is pretty much useless and the other is the bosses stepdaughter so she does nothing because she can get away with it.
The house is cold again!! Yay!
Went to the hospital for awhile. Then went to WM and came home. I bought a watermelon! Yay! It's in the fridge and I can cut it tomorrow. I'm also making crockpot potato soup for tomorrow. It's already prepped and ready to turn on. :) I'll take some to the hospital and give to dads nurse...we have been talking crockpot recipies all weekend and I want to show her how awesome and easy this one is! (THANKS SARBA! ;) )
I just ate some Honey Bunches of oats and I'm headed to my nice cool bed to wait on a phone call I'm supposed to be getting in a few.
:hi:
Howdy y'all. Work was mostly slow today. Good pace for first day after a long weekend. :)
Morning, all. :hi: I'm back at work.....one day closer to the blessed weekend. :biglaugh:
Merning one and all!
Stormed here pretty good last night. I took some allergy meds and slept right through it.
It stormed here right as we were leaving to go see dad yesterday. But it wasn't raining in town at all.
We are getting some rain this morning. We needed it.
It's raining here too.
Building my preferred section for Fall semester! Excited - ready for it to start!
Only a bit of rain here last night.
Oh my goodness you guys. I am a DORK. We had the Hemus' from England preaching last night. I walk into the church and say, "Good Morning!" :pound: What a ditz. I need PR skills... lol I meant to cheerfully greet them and that's what came out.
At least they know the church is compassionate to the "special."
Hannah and I were totally amused by Bro.Hemus' accent. In her notes, she included some of his funny phrases: "That poppi can pray! He was the big cheese, the big Duck. Boot (trunk of the car) Bonnet (hood of the car)" :)
And what's wrong with a cheerful "Good morning"? I say it at any time of the day - after 12 noon it makes people wonder about me. :D
And yes Chel, I was doing that long before I met you. You're not the only crazy person here.
I say good morning all the time...morning or not. :)
Yay, another crazy person in the group!
It's fun to do things people aren't expecting. :D
Its sure slow on here today...
Shhhh! Keep it down, we're trying to take a nap over here. :P
Waits for Seth to respond... :ugly:
Not feeling well the last couple of days. I feel lethargic. Working a truck in the morning praying whatever this is will be gone by then.
I have had a somewhat successful day.. made it through the work day, one day closer to my beloved vacation/car show. :thumbsup2: I discovered today that the day that would be my Friday the week of the car show ( a Monday), the event planner at the Capitol had allowed a group to come in and hold an event for "Human Rights". After reading the event organizer- The Gay,Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Association, I became nausious.
Last year when they allowed that, we had several crossdressers and other perversions show up. As the event planner told me, he couldn't deny them their event no more than he could deny a Christian event. I decided that it was a better than even chance I would say or do something I shouldn't, - I have been called homophobic- so I scheduled a vacation for that day too. Now, the only fruits and nuts I'll deal with that day will be packaged. :laughhard:
When I got home, I discovered the last tiny piece I wanted to do to Rusty had arrived, so I changed it (fuel injector) and Rusty's oil. He is 100%- until the next thing breaks. :laughhard: Now, I'm fixin' to go to church. Be Blessed, y'all.... :hi:
Mel-Mel! This link is all things that can replace eggs.
http://chefinyou.com/egg-substitutes-cooking/ (http://chefinyou.com/egg-substitutes-cooking/)
Went to work and other stuff and came home.
I'm tired and irritable and in a foul mood.
/me shoots everyone within gun range.
Watching Duck Dynasty. Show on A&E.
So stinking hilarious. These dudes are SO hick...and dumb. I have tears rolling down my face I'm laughing so hard.
Im not sure what is more awkward, answering Dora when she asks you a question, or sitting there silently while she stares at you. :smirk2:
Replace eggs? What's wrong with eggs? Love em.
There is a little girl in my life who is highly allergic to them, so when I make snacks and treats for the Youth, I try to be conscious of what all I make it with, so her parents don't have to worry about her eating anything that we have. She is allergic to Soy, Eggs, Peanuts and Almonds. So we have to be careful. More products than you think contain Soy and Eggs.
Well, the corn I planted never came up....I thought maybe it was just cause it hadn't rained on it really since I planted it...though other stuff came up....
Come to find out....it was ancient seed... I thought dad bought it for the garden, because it appeared one day sitting here in the house. I don't know where it had been for all those years.
And I also don't know WHY he never told me it was old when I planted it or anytime in the past 2 and a half weeks!!!!??
:roll:
Allergic to soy, eggs, peanuts and almonds... Almonds aren't a common ingredient, but the other three are everywhere! Man, talk about vigilance...
I myself am allergic to almonds. I don't have to be nearly as careful as her.
It's after 2. I'm going to bed finally. Just finished the third Narnia book...only 4 more to go. ;)
:hi:
Wide awake...... Gonna be a black coffee kind of day.
Fixin to get ready to go work. Another truck day. Next week I start a more routine schedule working from 6am till 2pm. Pray we get the Datsun fixed up and inspected so Elona doesn't have to drive me in and I don't have to wait till five for a ride home next week.
Also, at some point today I have to go to the City Thiefs office.... opps I mean treasurer to pay more tax for living in this little town than I do for living in the state. Once the Datsun gets an inspection sticker I will have to go pay them for owning that too.

It's early. I'm alive. Taco, I've been having to take Nathan to work @6am. My wonderful phlegmatic husband has got to get his truck or get a new vehicle figured out.
& I don't know what the going rate is there but it's nearly $2K for the taxes of our car in this state/city. Ridiculous.
It rained and hailed last night according to my husband but I slept right through it.
Rained all last night here too...was still sprinkling on the way into work.
Strange how it's stormed every night this week. But just at night. lol
@Melb - our church is a "peanut free" church. Our children's directors son is highly allergic.
Coughed my head off last night. I can't seem to shake this head cold, I've had it since Friday of last week.
Gonna move my pool today. It's still a bit lopsided. So I'm moving it to the yard, and not on the deck.
:hi:
RE Dora: What I'd really like to see is a show called "Dora's Parents" where her parents finally show up, take her home and make her stop wandering around shouting at people in spanish.
RE black coffee kind of day: I feel your pain bro. I had to get up at what, for a second shift dude, is a very early time.
RE car taxes: Yeah, but you'd sure be ticked if they stopped maintaining the roads.
Here the car taxes aren't all that much, but they make up for it with a 9.25% sales tax. I've about decided the best thing to do is live in Tennessee, but close to the border so you can pop over to another state to buy stuff.
RE coughing: Bleh, I hate it when the cold is over, but the cough sticks around. Happens to me about 1 out of every 5 colds or so.
oh_my_word.
It is stinkin' 59° out right now! It was supposed to rain last night. I'm not sure it did. It looks/smells like rain right now but it's not raining. Just cold and windy and dark. I just made a pot of coffee. It's so dark out, the kids are still asleep. I haven't let them sleep in this long since school has been let out. I think I'll sit here a bit longer.
Oh and Lamentations... some of it gets on my nerves. It sounds like whining to me. But then there is comfort and hope restored... LOL Kind of a rollercoaster of emotions going on.
Lam 3:21-41 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!"
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear The yoke in his youth. Let him sit alone and keep silent, Because God has laid it on him;
Let him put his mouth in the dust--There may yet be hope. Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him, And be full of reproach. For the Lord will not cast off forever. Though He causes grief, Yet He will show compassion According to the multitude of His mercies.
For He does not afflict willingly, Nor grieve the children of men. To crush under one's feet All the prisoners of the earth, To turn aside the justice due a man Before the face of the Most High, Or subvert a man in his cause--The Lord does not approve.
Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, When the Lord has not commanded it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That woe and well-being proceed? Why should a living man complain, A man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the LORD; Let us lift our hearts and hands To God in heaven.

Lamentations in Greek is QRHNOI (Threnos) or "lament".
It's a book of grief over Jerusalem's decisions and sins.
Only makes sense it would seem like whining...because in essence it is. The write is lamenting over the sins.
Yeah, I know. And it's warranted, and I've cried out to God and pleaded with God. I know He is moved by us. But unless I'm in that mood, feeling that way for our nation, which I probably should more often, it's a hard read. And I thought, maybe, if I feel like that, someone here that is reluctant to read Lamentations for the very same reason might be a bit more intrigued if there is "light" in the tunnels of lamenting... lol Idk.
Crazy good blog.

All this talk of eggs made me want some, so I made scrambled eggs with green onions, and red, orange and yellow bell peppers. Topped with cheese. Then I covered it with ketchup, and drank a glass of milk.
Very tasty. Only thing I needed was a couple pieces of toast.

Eh, that could go either way. 800+ teenage girls and a lot more + were at our Youth Retreat and they didn't cause any trouble.
800+ average teenage girls, presumably most not good christians... Man, I'll be praying for ya. :-\

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.
If anything, they'll clear the remaining hair he DOES have.
Got almost everything done. I need to go fill up the cruiser with more expensive go juice, then Elona is gonna follow me to drop the Datsun off at a shop a friend recommended. it's about an hour away though. But I will drive that for a good mechanic. Praying for a small small small bill to get it street legal.
Here we don't have any kind of vehicle inspections and stuff.
A cop can stop you if you have lights out etc., (which reminds me I still need to put my headlight in :freaky: ) but you don't have to do anything else to drive an old hunk of junk on the road. lol
Went and got corn that wasn't exhumed from the tomb of King Tut this morning, replanted the corn, and amended it to add a couple hills of watermelon for granny, she said she wished I'd plant watermelon.
Been tending fowl. I'm tarred. I need a nap, but no time for a nap....just had something to eat, need to go finish the rest of the fowl tending and then get ready for church.
/me falls over asleep.
I think it's stupid we have to have all that. It's like $40 for your inspection, which is done once a year. That has to pass the "working order" type tests or whatever. No ghetto-rigged allowed haha.
Then it varies, but mine is like $63 for registration done once a year. Not sure what it's for. Guess just proof you have insurance and are eligible to have a car. I dunno.
:roll:
*screams*
That is all.

Well lookie there. Hi, Tia. :hi:
You never know what the cat is liable to cough up.
Holy Moses.
They JUST brought dad back to the room. He had another (minor) surgery today. On his dialysis port that was messing up. They supposedly fixed it. hopefully. Meanwhile, they added another temporary port in his chest. Until the one in the arm matures.
They were supposed to take him in for the surgery at 11. Then 12:30. Then they said 5. By 5:30 they had come got him, and didn't start the surgery till after 7, and wasn't done till after 10:30!
Now it's midnight an he got back to the room about 20 mins ago. And I've been here the WHOLE DAY by myself cause my mother didn't get out of bed today.
I'm a tad bit annoyed. And I should just stay the night cause I have to be back here in the morning at 8:20 for a caregivers meeting with his physical therapists. OY.
He is zonked now. Hasn't uttered a peep since he got in here.
Well. That was one of the longest nights of my life! Lol!
These chairs, nice as they are, are not meant for sleeping in. I'm up. I've already been to the restroom and freshend up as much as I can without a proper change of clothes. Now
I'm waiting for the doors to open in the dining room so I can mosey on down there for a couple of breakfast egg rolls and some cheese eggs.
I'm up.....fixin' to head to my part time job, where I shall intercept unwary speeders and give them awards for their boneheaded moves...... :freaky2: Lord, I'd rather just stay in bed... :lol:

It's cold out...in the 50's.... After being about a hundred last weekend, that freezes you to death....I'm wearing a sweatshirt....hot with it in the house, but still cold with it outside. :P
Eating something presently.
grocery day. Yay.
Shopping is one of the most exhausting things to be done. I'd rather mow the lawn.
Our carpets are getting cleaned tomorrow! :clap: It's 9mo overdue. And it's like shag carpet so my carpet shampooer doesn't work on it. And Nathan said we are going to stay here another year. So perhaps I can get a raised garden in here pretty quick and make this giant yard at least somewhat profitable.
This yard... I love the space but good Lord. The moles are tearing it up. Ollie is trying to dig them out tearing up the yard more, wild strawberries are taking over, the area that used to be a garden is desolate except for weeds. I have sprayed the weeds, I don't think they minded one bit. I think they may even standing taller just to spite me... lol I have spread anti-grub (moles go where grubs are) stuff but the birds apparently think it's their snack. And now I have some grass seed that perhaps I can begin to plant. You'd think it was a farm. It's one stinkin' acre.

Seth: Roscoe can't tell what percent actually get a ticket - it would change the ratio of people who risk speeding. If he said a low percentage more people would speed, which is dangerous. If he said a high percentage many fewer people would speed, and he wouldn't get to stop as many people.
MellowYellow get a cat. We no longer have trouble with moles in our backyard. We do have the occasional dead rodent turn up in the cat's food bowl, but better there than making tunnels.
Yes, the many thousands from Arkansas that avidly read GP would no doubt run amuck if they knew Roscoe's secret details. :P

Melodya...we need to talk about that theory.
Oh, and hello. Now that I'm done venting I can be normal for a few...well normal for me.
I'm at home. I came home, changed clothes, took an almost 5 hour nap, had a lovely argument with my mother, washed a load of clothes and presently I am going to eat some potato soup and then get a shower and head back to the hospital.
I'm tired, but my nap did make me feel better.

Yes-- and the law is watching the media, both here and on facebook..... :freaky2:
And Seth, I really don't know the percentage. Today it was rather high on the ticket side.... five stops, three tickets. BUT- I typically don't stop someone unless they are travelling at least 15 mph OVER the speed limit, so the hundreds that blow by me at ten over really should count on the warning side... Pretty much, if I stop them, they are probably gonna get a ticket unless they have a real good excuse. I try not to waste folks' time with a stop for a warning, prefering to flash my blue lights at them or something of that nature. That usually slows 'em down quick.
One of the three I stopped today, I couldn't tell how fast she was going. Being trained and having to accurately estimate speed before being licensed to run radar ( not only am I licensed, I am a State Certified Radar Instructor), I estimate she was travelling 65 mph- in a 35 mph zone. I was unable to lock the radar before she was GONE....I chased her down and it took me nearly three miles to catch her. She was talking to her passenger and didn't even notice that she went through a town, by her own admission. I was right behind her with lights and siren going, at 70 mph, for nearly a mile before she noticed me.
She received an award for Careless and Prohibited Driving...
Was she blonde?
I'm eating a bowl of cereal and going to bed.
Busy and fun day ahead tomorrow. We have Water Wars! Yay! Can't wait!

So you DO still exist!
Now if only we had proof Chel still exists. I'm beginning to doubt it. :P
I think today I will do something my father used to do, but I never do. I am going to go to the flea market and just look around, see what I can find that's interesting.
Off to work for "Chicken Training"........ See y'all later.
You can train mine when you learn how.
LOL
My carpets are being cleaned right now. PTL! So I'm kinda stuck upstairs for awhile. I think I'll read on my deck. I'm so proud of my awesome potatoes. They're growing fantastically in their container.
It's a beautiful day and we're grilling with friends tonight. Soaking my cashews all night makes a world of difference for this raw cheesecake. I wish people were here to taste try it when it's turned out right! LOL
Hello. :hi:
Been an interesting day here.....I'd planned on sleeping in, and when Lou left for work, I promptly went back to sleep. For about ten minutes. That's how long it took before she called me.
Lou- "Honey?"
Me- "What did you forget?"
Lou- "I kinda need you to get Chey up and get in the truck and come up the road toward town. And bring a chain."
Me- " Okay.---Wait, bring a chain? Why?"
Lou -" I kinda got pulled over for speeding, and when I pulled over, I kinda went in the ditch, and now the car won't pull out."
Me- "Lord."
No "kinda" to it, she'd gotten stopped by a friend of mine- he got her at 67 mph in a 55, and probably got her clocked before she hit her stride- and had nosed the Caddy into a ditch. :laughhard: So my sleeping in was shot, as well as Chey's. On the bright side, my buddy had mercy, and Rusty pulled out the Caddy with no apparent damage.
After we took care of that chore, Chey and I went to the donut shop, then to the lake and fished for a couple of hours, and to the car museum. Now I'm back home, and should be working on the mower- but I'm not. I'm considering a nap. :P
I see your the righteous and lawful influence has done her no good.
After all that, Roscoe, the nap would win my vote. And hooray for Rusty! :D
I'm alive.
Work this week was terrible. I don't know if I hated customers or my coworkers more. I even had to work over today. Ugh.
Yard work and car work currently happening at the blue box (what I call my house).

You are welcome to dispatch your mechanic to come fix my lawnmower, then perform my yard work. I'd not be unhappy to find those chores done.
We've been having a yard sale. It's much more fun to GO to yard sales than have one.
Sell any music?

Brandon's the car mechanic. His dad does lawnmower repair. And I'm the person who actually mows the lawn :)

Still have a nice size container of cassettes that no one wanted.
WC is prolly halfway to Texas by now after that statement. Lol
Wow. What a day. Been a long GOOD one. We had nursing home ministry and Water Wars with our youth. I didn't have to deal with ANY DRAMA, health issues or anything like that all day. I got to laugh and play with my kids and have a blast making a mess and getting drenched. Kimber was awesome, and we shared a Full Throttle energy drink, and my Bug gave me lovins, I talked to a dear friend on the phone, had lunch and dinner for free, and I just had an all around amazing day.
I really and truly needed that after the events of this week.
Thanks, God.

I'm awake and getting ready for church. It doesn't matter if not a single person speaks to me or not, I'm going for me not them.
Love you, Heather. *HUGS*
No, you're going for God. You're going for the same reason you would go to any good friend's house and visit.
Morning, all. I'm back at work. Have a Blessed day!

Church was great. Right in the middle of preaching an altar service broke out.
Had good fellowship afterwards as well.
:)
Our service was amazing too! Right in the middle of our chorale song, two ladies came to the front and I think they both got the Holy Ghost! Then three were baptized and we had a shout down, then after that, two more came forward and wanted to be baptized! So we had 5 baptized today!
And Kimber snotted on my shirt again...SMH. But that was after I peeled her up off the floor between the pews, so I asked for it.
I went to the hospital to see dad after that. So now I'm finally home and gonna go outside to move and refill my pool in a different location.
Well, I still ended up singing, filling in for someone else and need to next week as well. LOL
Pastor preached so powerfully today. I love that Word. "All roads searching Truth, lead to Pentecost." It was a knock-the-devil-upside-the-head kinda day where that flaky "all roads lead to heaven" junk got exposed for what it is and the True "all who hunger and thirst after righteosness, shall be filled" trumphed. If someone seriously wants the truth/God, they will end up with a pentecostal experience. Love it!
Andrew goes to camp in the morning. He's packing now. It's his first year of youth camp.
It's an odd feeling to be walking beside Andrew and he puts his arm around me, cause I'm his mom but he's taller than me and I am half hoping it doesn't look weird and that's it's obvious that I'm his mom... lol
I'm sure you look weird with or without his arm around you.
If it's not obvious, Lady Melodya, then it's your own fault for looking so young!
I know a woman whose son doesn't like for her to hang around him, because he feels girls won't pay him any attention because they think his Mom is his girlfriend!

Never underestimate a kid.
I was teaching about salt and light tonight in Children's Church, how we are supposed to be a good influence. I opened with a brownie, but I had not put any sugar in it. I was counting on the kid who tried it not liking it, spitting it out, ew, ew, icky poo! Then I would proceed to draw analogies from that, how the sugar is essential in a brownie.
The kid liked it. :-/
I try to slouch and show off my few gray hairs as much as possible John! lol
Phew. My child. He is SO particular that he takes forever to pack. He also is so excited he kinda acts like a squirrel on crack. My Lord, if I didn't help him organize it, he'd have 4 sets of jamas, 15 pairs of socks, 3 ties that may or may not match the 7 dress shirts and pants he packs, and 1 pair of underwear, mouthwash and hair gel.
I have to giggle though. (http://urduart.com/gallery/data/682/girly025_2.gif) It's sweet. Now to get him through the 7hr bus ride in the morning without puking from motion sickness...
We had several kids almost get the Holy Ghost...and we had a young guy, just grad HS like last week...he comes. Rarely misses, but hasn't sold out to Jesus, and he prayed sooo hard tonight. And we had a backslider pray thru tonight. He was dancing and shouting. Place BLEW up.
We had Cortt Chavis with us tonight too. He sang and preached. It was SO good.
Found our next choir song...

Well, awake since three and need to be up soon. Pray for me today. Maybe I can get a nap between work and the meetings tonight.
Praying I get a call saying the Datsun is ready and the bill is low later today.

Well been up since 3 am, went to work at 6:30 in about 4 and 1/2 I washed every window in the place inside and out, and push brushed and squiggied the entire kitchen floor except a few feet.

Lovely, lovely evening. Rosemary carrot soup w/ chicken gouda sausages. :) Sounds fancier than it is... lol Nathan has been working a side job after work and weekends recently. Eventhough it's been warm out, he doesn't get home till late and doesn't want anything heavy but does want real food. He already has a sandwhich for lunch. So I've been making semi-hearty soups that he can down pretty quick, and go to bed.
Today has bummed me to the max. I hope tomorrow is better. :-\
Awww poor wittle wascoe, hope things get better :headrub:
It was apparently moron Monday at work today. And I'm not just talking about clients....
Soo glad I started a devotional yesterday. I think getting up this morning and reading even a bit of the Bible helped me get through this day.
Just finished making/eating salad so now we're watching The Two Towers. B's never watched the extended editions.
Got a bad report on the Datsun..... Needs framework which might be more trouble than it's worth. God knows!! He has provided a temporary ride Praise GOD! Elona wont have to be up so early after tomorrow. God is good and 4:30 is early so goodnight!
:smirk2:
Awake and getting ready for another day. Praise God for my job and the ability to do it!
Back at work, thankful for what God has given me.....even on the days that I feel I am praising him on credit. :-\
Awake, dressed for work, devotional read, and now I'm just waiting on cinnamon rolls to finish for breakfast. I refuse to let this day get to me either. Yesterday tried and I fought alot of tears at work but I made it by golly!
Merning. *yawn*
/me *HUGS all her GP friends
Sounds like a Lamentations kinda time Roscoe. Prayed for ya this morning, that your focus would be on the promise and not the process.
Looks like another good weather day. So thankful for his mercies new every morning. I'm off to clean the church today and maybe pull some more weeds. I pulled up 6gallons by the roots yesterday. I think I don't actually have a yard but a dandelion sanctuary... Did you know that dandelion leaves are edible? I could've made a huge salad out of them I guess but I didn't feel like it. I was thinking how weird it is that I would be more likely to eat something I planted all nice and neat rather than something growing natural and wild, or why just because it's not a common modern food does it seem like it would have less flavor appeal? I did eat a leaf out of curiosity. It kinda just tasted simliar to spinach and other spring mix lettuce leaves. Almost tasted like butter for an aftertaste.
I sprayed some dandelions a week or 2 ago (not the one I tried mind you (http://urduart.com/gallery/data/682/girly025_2.gif) ) with weed killer but it doesn't seem like it really did much good. So I'm just a pulling them up by the root.
Whew!
Good morning!
Had a busy day yesterday. It was Dads birthday, so we took him a party to his hospital room! I made a steak and all his favorite sides, and we had them hold his dinner tray so he could eat the food I brought. Then we had people come in to give him cards and wish him a happy birthday! Total count was 16 people in and out all evening! Plus he got many many phone calls while we were there.
He was surprised and very very happy! I made little mini pineapple upside down cakes that turned out awesome! And there were just enough that everyone had at least one, and some got a few more! Even some of the nurses were able to have some. It really turned out awesome and Dad was pleased.
Today I have to go clean the church extra good cause it's the first week of the month and there is extras I have to do like check a/c filters and vacuum the fellowship hall.
But first...breakfast.
Melodya is a weedeater...pass it on! :chatter:

Thanks! Its really not that bad, just a little conflict with a longtime friend that I really wish didn't take place.....brief cliff notes, he's cheif at my part time job, a backslider who at one time felt a call to preach... told him when I hired in I couldn't work weekends,just Friday during the day... he agreed, now he's wanting me to work Friday nights or Saturday nights. I can't, for various reasons, and I got the distinct feeling he was upset when I refused......just sad that there's conflict. Surprisingly, for a cop, I hate conflict...
MellowYellow you've never tried fried dandelions?
I still do not understand why people call dandelions weeds. They are nutritious, pretty and tasty. I think they look better than almost all the flowers you usually see in a floral shop. :D
I shall work cards Wed-Fri. this week.
They want me to cover the Target store again since that girl quit and basically I'm their fall guy for the Bloomington area....there's another lady that works some Bloomington stores but they never have her do anything...I don't know why, if she refuses, or she's not good at it, or what...lol
Anyways, I've made it plain that I don't have time for everything. So they can just take what they get and shut up about it or get some people hired for this stuff.
The trainer lady had left me a message this morning that Target had called the boss complaining that there's lots of boxes of product in the backroom that have come in. Preferring that I get to them today.
Nay, I say. I said I'd go there tomorrow and do the whole day. She said okay, but fyi Target should be hit early, mid, and late in the week. I said, yes, I know, but this is a beggars can't be choosers scenario.
I don't know what she thought of that....I really didn't mean it hatefully....much. :P It's just the truth. I have already said I don't have enough hours in the day to do stuff, so they can take it or leave it or get somebody else to do it. If I used all the hours allotted to Target and my regular stores this week, it would be well over 40, and as part time merchandisers you are not allowed to go over 40 anyways.... So I'm shaving time off my own regular calls as well as a ton off the Target. If I didn't have to spend extra time on Target I wouldn't have to shave my regular ones, but tuff pootey. I've been nothing but helpful to these people, so they can stick it in their pipes and smoke it.
Target is a pain to merchandise for. Wal Mart can be to, just depends on the mgmt.
Seth: Do what you can, as fast as you can, as well as you can... and then ask them if they want you to get overtime. :D
The worst they can say is no, but they might say yes!
That Target is generally nice and stuff it seems like. There is a lot of stuff that has just shipped in, I know, but like I said, tuff nuggets. My life doesn't revolve around them. lol
For the record, a mountain dew code red, chaesd by a cup of coffee makes me as wired as a squirrel on meth......I need a prescription of meller yellers product to mellow me out, dude. :laughhard:
and I'm sure with the similiar heighth, you'd take the same dosage. :cool:

Thats all he knows how to play and do on the computer, and sometimes, eventhough I have solitaire icon on the desktop, he still asks me to show him where it is sometimes. lol

SHARING: A friend of mine is getting married June 16th in Kentucky. The wedding is at 1pm but I really need to get there by 10:30am to make sure everything works right - I'm running the projector and music at the reception. (What, you thought I'd just go as a guest? I couldn't stay out of audio tech if my life depended on it.) :P
While I could get off work at midnight Friday night/Saturday morning, get a few hours sleep and then drive four hours to get there, I'd rather not be running on caffeine the whole day if I can help it. I have decided I will take a vacation day Friday, go up to Nashville and make a day of wandering around looking through used music albums at various thrift shops and book/music stores. Then I'll go on up to Kentucky, get a meal and a motel room and be ready to go bright and early Saturday.
My friends are not to know this, as they would probably try to defray costs - and they already have enough costs with this wedding. And I will have a fun day Friday browsing through music, and after I go to ground at a motel somewhere I'll sort through all the music I got until I run out of music or run out of energy and go to bed.
I have mentioned on this forum before that I'm not really fond of travel, as it takes so cotton-picking long to get there. I'd rather teleport. But when you're *intentionally* taking your time, wandering around browsing through music, stopping at a restaurant you've never been to before... it's a lot of fun. :D
Morning, All.
Cheeshead, for once I tend to agree with you. :lol:
And Isaac, be careful on your trip. There's lots of nuts out there.....
Bleh.
Awful sore today..... fell at work yesterday and I guess I am having a delayed reaction to it today. Oh well, back to the grind tomorrow, maybe back to bed for awhile today. lol
I'm bloated.
Going to work. People better be considerate of me today lest I smite them.
lol @ Cheese.
:hi: I'm at work.
Merning everyone!
I slept in today. Was nice.
Morning y'all. Roscoe, I will. But I have met very few people who are more nutty than I. :hipafro:

Another lovely day. I've got to get the house in imaculate condition and make some sort of snack for cell group tonight which is at our house.
Wondering how Andrew is doing at camp... I won't know until he's home on Saturday. I hope he gets something fresh from God and I'm excited to hear about it.
We're having our first annual "camp meeting" here at our church this weekend. What's interesting is that I've only been to OK camp mtg and half at least, of our church has never been to a camp mtg... lol So I'm not sure how it'll be different than a series of revival services. People will still be going to work during the days and we don't have a big "going out to eat after church" type personality because we are all so spread out. I'm excited to see how it will be different. Michael Easter is preaching and since the holiday was on Pentecost, we are kind of celebrating that. So Easter and Pentecost all at once... LOL
We usually have Bro Easter at Valentines day. Lol
I baked a cake. Simply cause its Wednesday.
That's a good reason.
I made some homemade whipped topping just because it was Tuesday, but it didn't set up right because I put too much vanilla in it. So I crumbled up some brownies in it, half froze it, whipped it up, froze it the rest of the way - and had homemade cookies and creme ice cream. Just because it's Wednesday. :)
It's not as good as real ice cream though.
I just printed a recipe for caramels that you make in the microwave. Sounds yummy.
I'm thankful for Skype since dina moved so far away.
Howdy.
That's about it.

Went to work at the stupid Target, came home.
After I told them beggars can't be choosers yesterday, they got somebody to go work in there yesterday. The little mousey woman from Indianapolis or wherever.
I am about to opt out of the FB foodies group. Ridiculous amount of anti meat, anti dairy mess. Plant based diet may work for some people who's health is so jacked up they can't eat straight but it doesn't make meat and dairy wrong for humans in general. Oh and I don't care for saleman personalities that seem to take advantage of people's naivity.
Heard the COO of CFA Dan Cathy tonight. He came to our store and they made it mandatory we come hear him speak. I will say this I walked away with an amazing amount of respect for the guy and the company I work for. They don't have full truth yet, but I pray they find it. He is a genuine guy who stands for christian values and isn't ashamed to pull out his bible and read from it no matter where he is or who is around.
Pray for me and all the other new guys working tomorrow. They are expecting a few thousand through out the day. Pray I can excel at my job and gain favor with God and man. Goodnight folks.
At current I am sitting here crying! GOD IS SO GOOD TO ME!!
I just caught up on the last few pages where I have been absent.
I'm not too sure where to start! I have a car, have I been on to mention that??
It's a 2004 Honda Accord and I am loving it..
I've still not got a job, but God will supply, I would even take a part time..
I was obedient to God and I feel like I am not going to be moving to the coast for the next little while, He has shifted my course again and I'm still excited about what He's doing, Even if the home life is a little shaky.
My parents are still going to lose the house we are currently living in but that is okay God has blessed us with a house next door that we have been having to completely remodel, but everything we need is being supplied.
(Mel this following part is just for our friends here please, I love you, Thank you)
My mother has been having trouble for some time now with, she has had a cough since last year and she cant breath well, she can't sleep... all sort of stuff, any way we took her to a respiratory specialist and they said she needed to see a heart doctor because her heart was REALLY ENLARGED.
A sister at church come prayed for my mother and today when we went to the heart specialist he told her that she was fine, everything looked good! But he was not sure why she was coughing and such, unless she was just allergic to something in the house..
PTL!!! The only problem is my mom is in a backslidden state and can not see it, and she is not claiming her healings and blessings! But I sure will..
please keep us in your prayers!
:) I miss you DLFFFFE! I hope you can come to town before Innovate on Saturday and we have a bit of time to hang out and catch up.
Or you could call me when you find a good signal. I want to hear an update on what Jimmy thought of the service Sunday and what the scoop is! ;)
I loves you!
OHHH!! Also Melody mentioned having to pick me up out of the floor for one of the services.. Let me share this praise report as well:
We will call my friend "J."
J. and I have been friends since I was 11 years old, I met him right after I received the Holy Ghost and through the years he has learned as much as I have, but the few times he has tried to get in and serve God the ministry have hurt him.
He has a calling on his life and has been running since I've known him.
This Past weekend I had the opportunity to make a deal with him after a pretty heated discussion about church and our opinions.
"J. I'm telling you if you'll come visit us ONE time I feel like someone will ask you to be baptized, I just know they will ask you, if not then it's not your time and I'll leave it alone." was all I said
His response "Alright, this Sunday I will go with you, if I'm called I'll stop running"
Saturday evening He went to youth and fell right in, it was all he talked about on the way home, and he was so excited for Sunday.
Sunday morning we got to church and through the whole service he sat there not making a move!!
He was being dealt with so strongly that he was stuck to his chair!! LOL
They called at least three times and he never moved.
I was starting to get worried, I made my way down there and asked him if he was going to answer the call and all he could do was shake his head no, I told him faith had legs then I stood up and begin to pray and left him alone.
At some point God hit me with my first travailing, and I've never felt such a deep pain, but I would have settled for my insides being ripped out this soul means more to me than I could ever say.
One of our guys come talk to him and led J. to the alter. Where he repented and when pastor asked him again he said yes, and that he wanted the Holy Ghost!
J. got baptized in Jesus Name Sunday!
and at this very moment while typing he just text and asked for a ride to church tomorrow!!
Whoot!!!!!
I'm excited!
That is FANtastic Kmymbir. God is so good to us all the time.
Sometimes I take GP for granted and forget how unique it is. It's hard to find a group of people that both love the Word/God and are kind. Well, I'm not always kind but I'm working on that...
I really thought that Apostolic ladies healthiness group would be fun. No. the most vocal people are set on vegetarianism. They used Daniels FAST as evidence why we shouldn't eat meat and left out NT scriptures that said it's GOOD. I'm hesitant to use the scripture that says those that can only eat herbs are weak but I think maybe it is starting to apply in this culture?
In the mean time, the backs of my thighs are so sore. You'd think I worked out or something but I think it's just that I've been more active lately. Yay for an active life!
Shew.
Fittin ta go ta bed.
:yawn:

By the way, if anyone has any prayer time to spare you might pray for a situation at my job. Fortunately I'm not involved in it, but I hate it when friends of mine cross-charge, undermine, talk about and generally get all snotty to other friends of mine. A formal, official complaint has been filed, feelings got hurt and people are trying to get other people to choose sides.
Bleh.
Wow....y'all actually talke a bit. :biglaugh: Kimber, I am glad to hear that report...
And in sharing, we had a terrific service last night. Bro Ron Pickard from Boswell, Oklahoma brought his assistant pastor and his wife over, and the assistant, Bro Smith, preached. Young man did an AWESOME job, God really moved and I was touched. About halfway through the service, I began to feel strongly that God had something for a lady in our church. She's been a member for years, is actually married to a minister in my church, but has been really fighting a battle lately. She has had to take care of a bedridden mother over the past years, and it caused her to miss church alot. When the mother died, she just couldn't seem to get grounded and faithful...
At the altar call, she was sitting at the back of the church weeping, and God told me to go tell her-" If you'll come up front for prayer, I'll break the chains that have been binding you". I started back that way, and she got up and began moving towards the foyer, going into the lady's prayer room. I stepped to the door and told her "You know I don't claim 'God told me' very often, but I know God said this..." and told her what I felt. She responded and forever more got a breakthrough..... The atmosphere in the church was electric.
And in reference to today....my life is grand. Rusty came to work with me this morning, I have a huge Dr. Pepper, and it is my Friday.......life don't get much better. :P
Awesome Roscoe!
& I did just that, Isaac.

Are you sure those are flowers? :hypocrite:
:hippy:
:laughhard: I needed that laugh.
A friend of mine is having a baby today! :bigcheese:
I'm glad you took the step Officer, some people second guess what God says, I'm so happy she got her breakthrough..
Which reminds me of a song I would love to hear again very soon! "I need a breakthrough!! Tear down the walls, let everything fall, cause I want to Praise YOU!!" :sing:
Seems J. is trying to get some of his friends to come tonight to the service, I bring him one service and already he's a soul winner, What a work God is doing!! :biglaugh:
:clap: I'm so excited!
stinkers. all of ya.

Just got home. A crazy and busy morning. I think a shower and a nap are in order.
Good grand opening?
It was a grand grand opening. You might even call it a great-grand opening.
It was kind of calm until around 8:30 and then we got slammed almost non stop till I left. At one point it looked like an entire high school had showed up.
Shower done nap time. Goodnap.
Here if you camp out and are 1 of the first hundred, you get a year's supply of chicken. Do you guys do that there? Were people camping out?
He posted a pic on FB of tents and such all in the parking lot, so I'm thinking the answer is yes. ;)
ah, I didn't see that. FB decided at some point to put all my contacts into categories for me which affects who I see on the main page I guess. Games that I've blocked, people I've hidden are now popping up and people I normally see, I don't. Except that I don't realize it till something significant comes up.
That is wild though. I figured it'd just be people in lawn chairs with blankets... LOL
Went and got feed and worked a couple stores. Home. Eating a RBB.
Bleh.
Home from work. Incredibly relaxing drive home in Rusty. :thumbsup2: Fixin' to take the two most beautiful women in Arkansas out to eat.
And in sharing- My God, I have to tell you about this! My chief, who I believed to be Baptist, came up and began talking to me today. I have no idea how, but church came up and he told me he was Assembly of God. One thing led to another, and the Holy Ghost was brought up. He told me that he believed that the Holy Ghost was good, and that speaking in tongues was the sign of the infilling, and that every Christian should strive for the "gift" but that it wasn't necessary for salvation. For an example, he brought up the thief on the cross and how he was saved without the Holy Ghost......
God put the words in my mouth...I pointed out that the thief's salvation occured BEFORE the Holy Ghost was poured out, and that in Acts, when people asked "What must we do to be saved?" , Peter's answer was to Repent, be baptised in Jesus' name and "ye SHALL recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost", not "might"........and then they did, with evidence of speaking in tongues!
To make the story brief, after talking with me for about twenty minutes, he said, "You know, you are right. That IS what the Bible says. It is necessary, isn't it?" :o I nearly had a melt down right there. :laughhard:
We talked briefly about Oneness......I know that God is working on my boss and I know he'll be back for more. PLEASE pray that I can have the right answers for him...if I could see this man prayed through....man, I don't know what I'd do. It'd be too awesome, he is an awesome guy and boss....... :clap2: :clap:
Tired may go to bed here soon.
Yes we did the first 100 thing. All new CFA free standing units do. I spent an hour cleaning the parking lot up after all of them packed up. Then spent the rest of my day taking out mountains of trash and washing a mountain range of dishes along with some other manual labor things thrown in. I am feeling my age tonight.
w2cch.
I think stress is causing me to redevelop a nervous problem I have had in the past.
Good church.
Home.
Steak, eggs and coffee.
Bedtime.
:hi:
:yawn:
:sleep:
Oh. For those not on FB.
This was today. I took dad out for a ride to get some fresh air and sunshine. :)

He is doing a LOT better. And will most likely come home next week. He has clothes (sweatpants and tee shirts) but he prefers to wear scrubs they give him. I told him he just needs a stethoscope and he would look like a disabled Dr. Lol
He's lost weight too...dialysis makes you lose fast. He's lost 90 lbs since starting dialysis in January.
90lbs! Wowsers.
Eeeeevery once in a while Nathan will want to watch a movie. So we rented "Hanna." A GMO teenage super soldier who is unaware of it all at first. Sounds fine enough. Nope. One of the creepiest movies I've ever seen. Waste of the $2 to rent.
Gotta tend to some fowl business and then go do as little as I can at work.
I feel a certain heaviness in my spirit today. Not a bad deal, but kind of like a changing of seasons, spring to summer type deal. Its kind of like when you were a kid, you didnt like certain kinds of foods, then years later you tried it, and loved it. Then you realize, you are growing up.
I just hope that if it is a season change im feeling, that God provides me with air conditioning....LOL
I like your descriptions, Mini.
Morning, everyone.

As much as I would love to join you in blaming the Fuzzy Beast- I think it was the mention of you and a BBW that drove everyone away. Pass the Mind Bleach please... :biglaugh:

Hey! Come join me in my act of civil disobedience running up the new thread before the Gestapo- Seth, Newsman- lock it up. Rebellion CAN be fun! :freaky2:
I'm dealing with some changes I've made in my life, but also wonder how much of my life I have wasted.
John :waving:
Just don't waste more time worrying about it. Today is a new day. :thumbsup2:
In other news, someone has lost a wormhole. If you find it, do not try to catch it. http://www.kleinmania.com/post/23628608950/wormhole
Been tending fowl. Going to go to the dark blackness of the abyss....otherwise known as work, particularly including Target. :roll:
I need some sedatives I've got nerve problems.
Another lovely day. I enjoyed that speech that's all abuzz. "You're not special" graduation speech.
Does anyone know what's comparable to bananas? There is this smoothie that is awesome but it calls for bananas & Nathan hates that flavor. Something that could cream & mask the fresh spinach flavor? Idk
Home from work. Met a guy this week who reminded me a lot of Yooper, they even had the same first name. While I enjoyed meeting and getting to know this guy it did make me miss my friend. He was a trainer and goes home tomorrow.
Tired but going to go out and take my wife somewhere if she ever gets home. I get to sleep in till 7 tomorrow so we are going to live it up.
I have had a fun day.
Went to Jackson to see a guy about a laptop, which I bought. Then I spent the next few hours wandering around looking through thrift stores and yard sales. Got some music, some books... and an alarm clock, because my big grinning Garfield head alarm clock that I bought 18 years ago for $5 at an auction finally gave out.
Now to try out those caramels of Fuzzy's.
I just made those caramels. They are cooling now. The bit I tasted off the spatula was yummy.
Posting from my phone sometimes doesn't let me edit and usually I figure you all will have grace and know what I'm talking about. However, sometimes I go back and look and good grief, I'm not sure I'd know what I was talking about.. lol
Gotta try and figure out how to till up ground without a tiller. I want to plant some flowers in what is now a dandelion and other undesirable plants, garden.
Fuzzy: The bit I tasted off my spoon was yummy, but I think I used too much heavy cream. It's thinner than sweetened condensed milk in the first place, and I thoughtlessly used a half pint carton instead of a half cup. I cooked it a bit longer though.
Interestingly, after a certain amount of cooking it stopped boiling. Just sat there until I stirred it, at which point it started boiling again. Weird.
I have had a GREAT day.
My wife finally made it home from sunday school camp last night about 11 pm. I got her up about 7:45 am, because we had to go get a free couch and recliner from her sister, who is moving. We did that, and when we got over there, my brother in law had a couple guns (a old WWII rifle, and a single shot shotgun). After a bit, I made a deal for both of them, for $10!!! I also got a Fender Guitar Amp for $50, priced $250 on ebay, a small practice amp for $1, a framed print of a Submarine Spitfire, and a plethora of other stuff all for free.
Its been a good day.
:ugly:
You got a Fender for HOW MUCH?!!
In other news, minnesota did you know you can pipe your guitar through a computer and apply effects? Flanger, phaser, compressor, all kinds of distortion, exciter, whatever you want. And it's all free! Let me know if you want to try it.

I had a great day today!!
I was kinda upset yesterday at how my brother acted on the phone to me. He was short with me, for no reason, and cut me off an hung up too quickly. Very unusual for him. I had already had a hunch something was up, and that made me question it even more. Then today, I was at church, and my friend Granny was short with me for no reason and would not let me in the apartment. I got upset cause I needed to change the A/C filters and the air fresheners in the apartment and could not understand why it was such a big deal about me going in there. I always go in there. Then I flat out asked her a few questions, about my brother and if he was here, getting more upset by the second at her additude about it, and she claimed that she didn't know where my brother was...but I KNEW he was here. Why else wouldn't she let me in there!?
And then while we were at youth, my brother and his family walked in. They had been here, staying in the apartment, since last night. They had already been to the hospital to see our dad, and then went to youth to see me! Yay!
And Olivia is jealous when I have other kids around me...found that out tonight. Lol!
Tomorrow is gonna be a good day too! Yay!

Boy, you'd be upset at me all the time. I'm short with everybody. :P
Hey, I can't help it, it's how God made me. :laughhard:
Now that... was a bad joke. :P
Went to church came home.....
Some guy called and left a message at church this morning with an "I need gas money..." sob story. Then he called the house after I was home from church.... I didn't want to, but I talked to him.... I don't know if he's a bold faced liar or if it's true, you never know with these kind of people. It's always such a quandry...I HATE that..ugh.
I told him I'd meet him at the gas station and get him gas though, so just went and did that. I grilled him, he had a story, I don't know if it was true or not.
They may have drove off laughing all the way to the crack house, but if they did, that'll be God's business to deal with in His own due season. *shrug*
But at least with just buying gas, you know they got gas and didn't just take cash and blow it on whatever junk. *shrug*
I know. I hate that. I wish there was a flashing sign on their head or something to tell you if they were lying.
It would have been nice if God had created our noses like Pinocchio...but then we all may have been in trouble a time or two. Haha!
Great day today! Im at the hospital, on the computer. We had a nice lunch with my brother and his family here in the hospital Cafeteria with Dad. Now they are gone and we are chillin here in the room. Dad is snoring.
Roscoe...my brother is 6ft 6in tall. :P

There's a guy who calls me every so often. He used to be in church. A sister of his is super-solid in church, very nice, sold out to God, single and super-attractive. He knows I ike her.
When he calls for prayer or a ride to church, he winds up needing something else, either from me or someone in the church. He does get a little worried when things get bad for him, then stays away from church or church people til his next crisis. I've honestly gotten to where I hate answering my phone when he calls.
He calls me a coupe of weeks ago, asking for a rde to church. I say yes, then he also wants to borrow a bit of money "til Thursday' or somesuch. Wasn't much, but money wasn't growing on trees for me, especially that week. Says he wants to get a birthday card for the sister I like and respect, and get it off to her.
I tell him yes, I'll bring it over to him. I then got stuvk on some work, and told him I wouldn't be able to. He seems to get desperate, even telling me he has a ride to come over and get the money from me. Her has No ride for church, but what is almost surely a lie, to be desperate to get money so that he can buy and mail something small to someone in another state instead of waiting a couple more days, but he has a ride to come over and get money for that .
I finally told him no, and bye. He called once after that, but I genuinely missed it. I learned recently he has a drug problem.
I hate saying no, but that small amount might have scored him a hit, or bought him some booze. His sister probably wouldn't have gotten anything from hm anyway. Aggravates me he tried to use that as an excuse.

I wonder if I yell KIMBER!!! really loud, will she show up? Let me use the force...

That's another thing that frustrates me. Money isn't growing on trees for us, hubby is still out of work, so when we help someone I want it to be the real deal. I'm not giving up something for someone to buy beer or cigarettes if I can help it.
Hello Hello!! :waving:
I am doing great and I miss everyone, I think my laptop has a virus because the other day it just shut down, and I can not even get the screen to come on now :cry2:. So that's the reason I am not on here more updating you on what's happening!
I need my Tech Friend to hook me up and fix my laptop! Oh and thank you so much for that song, it never crossed my mind to look on You-Tube for it, but I LOVE that song and need to get it on CD for my car.
I'm glad to hear some of you are witnessing to others and seeing results, and I would encourage others of you to keep trying and touching God with prayers for these souls, We are seeing great results here!
My friend J. got to go to church today and he had a great time. Then we give him a bible study!
We are now at the hospital visiting Melody's dad... I'm on her laptop as everyone is carrying on about nonsense :bigcheese:
Wow...I should use the force more often... :o
Happy 81st birthday to my pastor!
Retirement? What's that, something like when you put new tires on a car so it can keep going? :P
He gets around better than any other 80 year old I know, gets around better than a lot of 50 year olds I know, and does more work than some 30 and 20 year olds I know. We'd have to force him to retire, and if we did I think he'd shrivel up and die.
Mel-Mel, yell MONEY and see if it comes.
:bustamove:
Why you little media person..... :pound:
