I can make some recommendations. :cool:
I'm sure you can. ;)
thanks PF - I had a great chiro in my old neighborhood but now thats too far to get to, hopefully I can find one close by tomorrow. :-\ I hope I'm not broken
I leave for Asia in 11 days - I need to be able to walk!
Just ride everywhere in a rickshaw.
Well, glory be....
We have a concrete slab behind the church now..... He's supposed to do the finishing touches to it tomorrow...and they'll dig the stupid cistern....I'll be so glad when that's done....Lord....
The replacement storm doors from Larson showed up FedEx while I was over there too just before was getting ready to leave.... I don't know why the shipped over there, I said to ship here to the house (cause there's not always somebody at the church and all that...)....and I don't even recall filling in the church address anywhere on what I had to fill out, I don't know know..... But, it worked out alright cause I was there anyways. Stupid chincy looking things though.... They don't make anything fit to have these days...bah.
AND, got a message from the land surveyor that he heard back from the Government, and they are agreeing to the survey the way our surveyor marked it. He said they're doing whatever poopidydoo govt. red tape they have to do, but it all sounds good.
Yay.

Thats quite a slab...
We can set up a portable goal and play basketball.
Sinner. Sports at church... *cough*
:ugly:
That's a freshly painted outhouse in the background there too. :P
Okay. I missed everyone.
As always, so it seems, I am frustrated. My mom taught me to drive a stick shift in about 2 hours. That was about a week and a half ago I think. I have one issue. I only seem to kill it getting into first IF SOMEONE IS BEHIND ME! It's like I over think it and get all nervous. So tomorrow after work I am going to go on the old logging road and just practice getting into first...over and over and over and over....practice makes perfect right?
Oh and did I mention I have a fever? And everyone in our house and most of the people at work have some kind of stomach bug...
OH and I milked cows, then went to my mom's and cleaned hotel rooms...So I basically had a 15 hour day today..and yesterday...
I just want it to be Sunday again... :-\
I'm just super bummed this evening and I have no idea why.......

Hope a deer or dogs don't run through that fresh concrete. Lol :hypocrite:
Ruby..*hug* I'm sure glad I didn't finish the email I started to you. It wasn't exactly what you were discribing, but after the day I had today, it was NOT pretty. At. All. :smirk2:
Mostly a rant. And some of the stuff I said, well you would not have been happy with it. I know that for a fact!
But I came to church. Talked it out with Granny, had a good cry, and a come to Jesus meeting in the floor.
I'm good now. ;) no lecture nessessary. Granny beat you to it!
Everyone...hi! Thanks for the hugs. One day I'll be a regular poster again. I promise.
:hi:
Melody, you've never been regular.
I've been sitting here asleep.
Thanks for the kind words after my rant in the last thread. :) Friends are nice.
Mel... you could have written it. :) Not that I would have had time to reply today, but I could have lectured you tomorrow. :hypocrite: But since you apparently don't need a lecture anymore... I'll hug you instead. ;) *HUG*
:beret:
Is that all the parking you need Sethers? ;)
I'm craving a Pepsi. I can't remember the last time I had one. Might bat my eyes at hubby, & see if he'll go get one. :teeth:

We're waiting on your big love offering to come in so we can pour the rest of the driveway and lot.
I don't know how much you'll get for muffins.
I half expected u to say most tie their horses round back by the out houses.
It would be fitting to see a pair of chicken prints on it.
Oh I still have it. And I may finish it...only it would be better than it started.
Y'all say a prayer for me...after hanging with Granny and Jesus, we dined at Taco Bell, and I'm in the McDs parking lot right now using WiFi...but I'm headed home to the war zone in a few.
I need streanth. *sigh*

Muffins, peanut brittle, whatever..... :P
I could've put my footprint in it....
My footprint IS in the concrete on the slab in front of the church that was poured in about 1980. Mine and two other kids'. You can barely see the prints and writing on it now though.

Went to work, came home.
The situation has either improved or deteriorated depending on how you feel about music. I am now up to my scapula in music stuff.
:reaction:
S'posed to snow today. :-? It was almost 80° yesterday.
Sethers, if u had your pick, what occupation would u choose to do?
@work. Ready for 4! Haha.. I'm gonna appreciate the few extra hours on my check next week, but today I'll probably kick myself for taking an extra shift. At least I get to work with some of my favorite coworkers!
Jeremy's coming down this weekend!! Yay!!! We're gonna finish our registering and pack up more of my stuff!
:hi:
Yep the weather has gotten alot colder here.
Y'all pray for me. I feel like my mind is a war zone. And it's mostly fighting itself. Bah!!!

Where is everyone? This is the quietest I've seen this forum since I joined.
In other news: RealGuitar 2 is great! Especially with a moderate reverb and a bit of amp.
Just ate BBQ that my hubby cooked and packed for my lunch.
That beats my breakfast of homemade chili, but not by much. I'd still take your husband's barbecue over this chili, but the barbecue isn't here. :sadbounce:
G'morning everyone! :hi:
It's a crazy place here this week. :) Okay, it's crazy all the time. But it's MORE crazy this week. ;)

The floor in jail..is just as uncomfortable as the actual bed....
But according to Garfield, the food there is not as bad as they say...
Are we to assume you are in jail? If so, what happened? If not, what brings up your previous comment?
Well. Finally convinced my dad to go to the ER. (with a bit of help from our Pastor) This is day 5 he has been so sick. I'm in McDs parking lot on WiFi. Headed back to the hosp in a few. Mom is with him.
Oh. And I'm sick again. Guess dad gave us his mess. I'm nauseated and had an upset stomach all day too and I haven't had a thing to eat today.

That's how I am today too. My chest feels tight like I need to cough but no cough comes. And I'm soooo nauseous and my stomach is yuck.
I feel yucky.
Wow. I posted some clips from someone else on my FB of our church services... Um.. I always think I'm being VERY expressive but I pretty much have the same expression on my face and am barely moving while praise singing. And it's that ugly agonizing crying expression, as if I'm not delivered or something. Dear Jesus, help me. Also, I don't do my hair big but the little poof I do, doesn't look like I really have done anything.
Thinking analytically outloud today.. LOL I can chuck my worry of being flamboyant out cause clearly I'm not that demonstrative as I thought. Hilarious and annoying at the same time. Bottom line is I don't care when I'm actually up there, but we get chastened for not being aware of how we come across when we're on the platform too.
Yeah. I'm a horrible person. Not really, just a lot of bad choices in my past.
Iowa is a front tag mandatory state. The truck I am buying from my mom has no front mount, they had the tag on with wire. I had the guys at work cut me some wire YESTERDAY and they were going to put the tag on with that and self setting screws so it wouldn't come off. (the bumper has an issue, my step dad ran it into a pole...he forgot to set the brake). SO as some of you know I've been paying for MONTHS and MONTHS to get my DL back. BUT I don't have one, so I take a risk everyday to go to work. I don't drive anywhere but to WORK! Sometimes church, but normally I find a ride or don't go. BUT I got pulled over..and got to spend the night on the floor in the rec room of the county jail, because the jail is full. It's COLD in there! I got what I deserved, driving is a priveledge...and I can't get a work permit unless my DL is revoked..and right now it's just suspended...:(
SO now we are back to square one, I still have a job, but no way to get there....:(

Man. That's terrible. I've been known to look the other way when some of the folks I knew had suspended license were driving if I knew they were just going to work and home. May God send you compassionate officers or close their eyes while you go to work...
And I'm *thinking* of talking to a local police chief friend and see if I can work a few hours a week for his department. We could really use the extra money. If I do, I'll need you guys to really lift me up in prayer. It will be easy for me to slip back into my former police self, which is vastly different and worse than I am now. I'm not crazy about the work, but we've got some debt that I've got to get rid of someway, and this economy and gas and food prices aren't helping. :(
Officer...sir...I was half a mile from work, and the guys I work with were going to come get the truck. The officer said absolutely not because he had already called a tow truck. *sigh*
I didn't cry though...I prayed...a lot...
but I'm crying now..feels like the harder I try..the further away from God I get...

I ain't the most spiritual, but......You know, that's exactly what the devil would have us believe. When we feel like we are far from God, it is easier for us to become less faithful, and to eventually give up and say "what's the use?"
You see, we never see a victory until after a battle and it's impossible to see a view from a mountain top without climbing the mountain first. While I don't know all that you are going through, I can tell you from what I've read that you've posted you've gone through alot. It seems to me that you are someone who really loves God and is trying to make a difference, not just in your own life, but in the lives of others.
People are watching you right now, wanting to see how you will react. Will you crack under the pressure? They are looking for something different, something to help them get through their problems, and if you keep your head up and trust God, you will see Him work things out in ways you would never have imagined. Not only in your life, but the lives of people you love. They will see that what you have received is real and able to change their life.
Don't give up and don't fall away from God. Double down, so to speak, pray harder, fast more, even when it seems impossible to do, and trust God. I know it's easier to say this than live it, but it's something I deal with myself daily. I've watched friends get down and get depressed and basically give up, and now a once strong ministry (their life and testimony), if you will, has fallen. I determined that no matter what, I will trust God, I will depend on Him, and I will not allow the devil to drag me into the depths of depression and the world of pity parties... for me, that was huge.
What am I saying? I don't know, maybe I'm just rambling, but don't give up, stay faithful to God, and TRUST Him. He'll bring you through this. I'm praying for you.
I have to go talk to my pastor tonight....Tomorrow I will try and post what it's about...
GP is really the place I feel like I can say anything...
On a lighter note, YouTube suggested I listen to "Be Still My Soul" by Mindy Gledhill.
Thank you YouTube...I've listened to the song about 5 times...and I don't know if it's helping or hurting...but it's a pretty song...
Well Bird Head, I'm sorry to hear of all your woes. :(
Melodya, I would love to just do nothing and get handsomely paid for it and be able to do all the other stuff I need and want to do.
Went to town and got some paint for the stupid handrails at church....Oh, how i hate them.... Been trying to figure out if I was gonna replace them or what.....I wanted something that wouldn't have to be painted and wouldn't rust.....but everything is either more expensive than I want to pay, or incompatible with the setup logistics..... So I decided to just keep what's there for now and paint them...and oh my lands, I have every minute of it.... It'll be next Christmas before I get done......good grief.
The concrete guy came by late this evening and took the forms down and was going to saw the slab but his saw wouldn't run so he has to come back again.... They didn't dig the stupid cistern today cause now the cistern guy couldn't deliver it today.... Every other day I was waiting on the excavators to get in gear, the cistern people could have brought it....now that they're ready to dig, the cistern people can't bring it....ugh. Friday is the plan....unless that changes due to weather...sposed to rain tomorrow... Probably be digging in mud and water before it's done anyways though, so what diff does it make? Ugh...hopefully they don't hit water, but highly possible they will.
I just want the thing done and overwith, I'm tired of messing with it...... And it will be grand to finish getting it plumbed back up then and be able to flush the stool and wash your hands.
I probably have brain damage from paint fumes...
Rustoleum is really not all that bad though...and it's all outdoors and was breezy, so, maybe not...but maybe so...who knows with me.
I've got enough of it on my hands that at least my hands shouldn't rust anytime soon. :smirk2:
Mel-Mel said tell her gpers that they did admit her daddy and prayers are appreciated.
Praying for you, Lady ISG
Tended fowl.
Took a shower and got most of the paint off of me....mainly stains in the cracks in the skin on my fingers... :smirk2:

Please be careful brother. I can't know everything about your situation so I'm not saying you shouldn't take it. But I know first-hand how easy it is to slip back into something you have given up... just please be careful.
Fell asleep around 8 pm. Up at 130 am. I'm roasting and feel so off kilter. I have no idea what's wrong with me. I've been like this for days. If I'm gettin sick let's just do it and get it overwith already.
wow... there are a lot of people facing a lot of hard decisions right now...

I will. And thanks.... I found out he was needing part time help and the hours he needs dovetails nicely with my free time- and it won't interfer with church at all. My biggest trial in going back on the street, even part time, will be keeping a Godly spirit and staying holy, if you will. I know from experience that dealing with the types of situations and people that a street cop deals with can bring your attitude and language down to their level.... At least it did me when I was working the street full time.
*takin it to the streets.....*
Thank you roscoe that is now stuck in my head.
I'm home with my continued plague like symptoms today. Bummer too. I was gonna have overtime this week :(
Anyone would like to call or txt me feel free. Pm me for my number. I'll be home either sleeping or bored out of my gourd.

ISG, let me throw a little in here too...
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
(2 Corinthians 4:7-9 ESV)
Let me remind you, you've gave your testimony on here before, and it is beautiful.
1) Don't forget your testimony. God has brought you so far. He freed you from the slavery of sin, and that old task master the devil. And that old task master, the devil, wants his former slave back. And he will try and fight and fight and try to break your hold on God.
2) We have this treasure in jars of clay. God put the most priceless gift, his spirit, and the light thereof, in fragile, feeble, (and frankly, full of failure) vessels. But because he loved us, he did.
This third thing is a little something that may bring light to you today. It's a illustration that God showed me over the course of several weeks. We had a beautiful little rosebush sitting here in front of my house. One summer, it was covered with beautiful roses, and the scent seemed to overwhelm you as you walked to the door. But one little bud never seemed to want to open. Matter of fact, it had a hole where a bug had burrowed its way into the bud. I figured the little bud was a lost cause.
As the course of roses often are, the once beautiful roses withered and died, leaving only the solitude little bud. After several days, IT BEGAN TO BLOOM!
Ive smelled roses, and I have never smelled a rose so powerful. You could see where the bug had damaged this rose. But in its damaged state, the beauty of the scent was overwhelming!
Sometimes we look at ourselves as "damaged" goods. But is when we are afflicted, perplexed, persecuted and struck down that our praise to God grows that much sweeter. As the verses said, we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed!
Keep your head up!
/me HUGS ISG
Got test results back and I'm all in the clear!!!! PTL!!!!
:clap: *HUGS*
The rose bud...As I walked in the door today from work, I noticed that there is still one rose on our bush by the door...November...Snow...Rain..freezing nights..and there is still one pink little rose...I took a picture. I'll post it soon.
I'm pregnant.
There now you all know. I don't know how many of you know...some do some don't... I struggle with being an alcoholic...I actually haven't had a drink in almost 2 months...but in August I actually spent a bit of every weekend drinking. I repented...and God forgave me. BUT through all of that from what I understand there was a "friend" who spent the night. I don't remember him staying, sleeping or otherwise. So talking to my wonderful assistant pastor last night...he asked if I knew for sure I hadn't been slipped something...and that actually got me thinking. Other than my cousin this man was the only one to stay at our house. I asked Roomie and she said he was asleep on the couch when she went to bed, she didn't want to let him drive since he had been drinking.
So with that all being said...May 20th is my due date. A lot of why I have been so emotional and so sick is because of this. BUT they did THREE blood tests in the ER at different visits all in Sept. that all supposedly came back negative....this is the same ER that missed that mass on my colon that God made go away.....Law suit? Anyone have any ideas on that? I am really getting a feeling to just leave it all alone and not go there in the future...
SO there....*sigh*...I need to go quit smelling like cows...
Thanks for the HUGS and encouragement...I do love you all sooooo much!
I have never dealt with anything even remotely like that so I have no idea what to say ISG. Except I'll be praying for you.
And remember to keep going. If you turn around now it's much farther to where you started than to where you're trying to get to.
Will definitely be praying for you ISG!!
I have the strep and will be out of work the next 2 days.
Topher pulled a Houdini earlier and somehow ended up in the basement. Hoban is a total instigator. I'm sure he had something to do with it. Whiskey (the dog) things everytime I walk in the kitchen she should get fed. Sheesh. My kids.....
My cat thinks every time I walk through the door she should be petted. And she usually is.

I'm at the hospital with Dad. Trying to get PowerHour stuffs put together for tonight.
He is feeling better, but still may need a blood transfusion. The runs have stopped for now though, so that's good.
It's COLD in this room. Really cold. Lol
Hello, Poopsie.
Going to run over to the church and meet a carpet guy shortly. See about getting new outdoor carpet on the steps and ramp.
It would be quicker if you drive. Smoopsie Poo.
I've never stepped in smoopsie poo. Is it any worse than dog poo?
Probably.
Considering the sources, most assuredly.
:ugly:
minnesota, check your PM.
Haha! Indeed.
Ah, shush.
PF did call you sethiepoo the other day...
My parents have been married 60 years today.
Wow.
Almost as long as you've been alive, huh, Rat's Nest? :P
Smoopsie poo is probably made of re-fried beans and salad...I wouldn't wanna step in it...

Would anyone be offended if I started a thread about "My Daily Woes" lol...
I text you today, Laci. You get it?
Yeah I was going to text you back, but I wasn't sure you still had your mom's phone...Still got the house number? If you want or can maybe call me later or now..or sometimes soon :) :great:
I still have the house number. I can't call you right this second though cause I'm in the room with Dad. I'll try to call you later.
But you can still text that number, yes its moms phone, (and she is talking on it now actually...) but I can text you on it.

I've made that second one..and it is AWESOME!
I'm thinking about doing something a little more simple...
I will brown the beef, add a can of cream of mroom and some shredded mozzarella and then cover it in corn bread and bake...sound okay?
Doesn't matter to us how it sounds, you're the one that has to eat it. :ugly:
Oh, and I haven't been eating salads lately.....I completely foundered on them that last round. Have no taste for them again yet.....they're nasty.

I just use a recipe as an idea anyway and do what I want, so sounds good to me. ;)
I'm now working on crocheting scarf #3 for today. This illness is so boring. Wish I had some energy.
APB is bringing me dinner tonight when he gets off work. That boy is beyond amazing to me.....

:ugly:
/me :pound: both of you... and Bobby, too, for good measure
Mean Rats' Nest. Mean. Mean. Had I been here to enter this conversation prior to your hateful action, I would've took up for you and claimed that you were obviously like a fine wine, and get better with age.
After that comment- well, someone apparently cracked your cork- you've turned to vinegar. :hypocrite:
:laughhard:
To everyone else- :waving:. I made it to my Friday. And I have now got my pastor down on me....Our church is feeding the staff at the local free medical clinic tonight. I just got home and they've already started, so I'm not there to help. By the time I drive back up town it'll be over. So here I sit, with snarky messages from him relayed via my wife by text. :laughhard:
In every aspect of my life I've always known where I stand. I'm not the most important. I'm not missed if I'm not there. In the best terms possible, I'm expendable and replaceable.

And I guess for the most part I've always embraced it. Why argue with everyone who has ever had any part in your life right? Tonight's just one of those random hard nights where I'm having a problem with it......
I notice when you aren't around.....
/me HUGS Heather
Without "Heather," who would fix our coffee, get us new brake pads, or spay and neuter our pets?
w2cch.
I'm tired. I have to tend to the fowl shortly.
You're not expendable, Heather. They, or the devil or your feelings, all lied.
Sorry to be so blunt. But I haven't even met you & I know better. Perhaps it's not that you weren't enough, just maybe it's cause it's them & you're so loyal, they're the ones that have to end things.
I have REALLY felt like that at times & noticed I try to act ok with it & almost making myself of less consequence. There are some voids that only Jesus can fill & we feel our value the more of our lives we share with Him.

Boy do I know that feeling! But usually when it seems people don't even notice you it's really because of something else. Maybe you're just too reliable, always there, always helping, and they take you for granted? That happens a lot - I think it has something to do with the brain's tendency to ignore things that are always the same.
Morning.
*hugs* Heather.
\me glares at Alana.
Get away from my man!
Hey everyone. I'm up at the hospital trying to bust my Dad out.
They said they were gonna let him go at 9:30, but yeah, I don't see that happening. I'm actually suprised that they are letting him go this soon! But thankful.
Prayer works!
Um? Why didn't the \me command work?
Did I miss something?
Dunno...

I came prepared for work today...
Hey friend!
Spare a few can ya? They won't "kill me" like they do some people I know.
Lord. Is it possible to have a "hang-over" if you've never drank alcohol in your life?
I have surely slept too long and hard. I just woke up and I'm dragging. Majorly. I need chocolate, and Mini is hording it a state away, the greedy goon.
Hording nothing. I have a whole candy dish full of other lesser chocolate confections. I just horde the peanut butter cups. And speaking of those, they need a crunchy peanut butter cup.
I have what I call "Prayer-hangovers" all the time.
If I have a good prayer, the lay in the floor, lose track of time, wailing, let it all out, come to Jesus meeting kind, then my sinuses always act up, and I walk away (stagger usually) with puffy bloodshot eyes, stuffed up head and a massive headache.
If it was REALLY good, I wake up feeling much the same way the next morning.
But it is WORTH IT!

Key word in all that is "I". As in "Mini" has, not Roscoe. Therefore you are guilty of hording. And you want crunchy? Put 'em in the freezer for a couple hours. They'll be as crunchy as you want,,, :laughhard:
They do make a crunchy. It's just limited edition.
I've had it.
Amazing.
Why do candy companies make "limited editions"? It annoys the snot outta me. M&M made a raspberry dark choclate M&M for a little while that I fell in love with, then they pulled them claiming they were limited editions.I get hooked on 'em and then they're gone. Gonna get somebody a beatdown someday.... :lol:
I agree!
But its not just the candy companies.
I fell in love with EXTREME NACHOS from TB, and it was only the summer of '94.
Never brought it back.
And don't it me started on McRib.
Thank you everyone. Last night I had my crying prayer fit. Feeling some better. Just major headache and still home sick with the plague.
I did however get good mail today. 1st was an invitation for my goddaughters 4th bday. 2nd was a wedding invitation!!! If I had a stamp I'd RSVP right now!!
I had forgotten the extreme nachos! That was my senior year of high school, and we ate those constantly! And I'm enjoying the McRib while it's here. And the Sweet potato Pies from McDonalds. And sonic had an extreme tator tot that was awesome, now they've discontinued it. :sadbounce:
SONIC! One summer they had the Island Fire Burger! OH MY! It was great!
Took that away too. :sadbounce:
They had those nachos for 1.99 in Florida, my cousins and I would eat two apiece! It was great! Lol
Are y'all trying to make everyone hungry? :smirk2:
/me tests
hmmm it worked for me
I know! We talk about food and my coffee and biscuit is wearing off. Lol
/me tries again.
Huh. Worked that time.
Weird.
I thought I was gonna have to go gangsta on sonic the other day..... Last summer, locally, they sold a hickory burger (basically a cheeseburger with mustard, lettuce, tomato, bbq sauce and an onion ring on it) and a "realcream Dr. Pepper". Now my love for Dr Pepper is well known, and when I tasted the "real cream" version I was hooked. It was perfect. Became a fat boy's crack cocaine. Then the other day I order this, and they tell me they don't sell either of them anymore. :o I wound up ordering a Dr pepper with real cream and a cheeseburger made as I described. They may not sell it anymore, but by golly I bought it. :laughhard:
Haha! I feel ya.
So you just order a Dr Pepper with "real cream"? Is that what you call it?
Yep. Worked here. I also had them put real cherries in it, but that's just my preference. They just shoot a shot of their vanilla milkshake mix into the dr. pepper I think. At any rate, it is addicting. At least it was for me.
Mel-Mel, you back slashed when you should've slashed is why it didn't work. \ / not the same..... :smirk2:
Went and met the excavator, he's gonna get his stuff and dig this blasted hole.... Came home and tended fowl, going back to the church to paint this horrible railings and supervise this cistern fiasco. I pray they don't hit water, though it's very possible they will. Ugh.
Lord, instead of hitting water, let them hit oil, black gold, Texas tea.....then our troubles will be over, amen.
lol
:P
AMEN! Grant it Jesus!
/me feels a happy hour in her future. :freaky2:
Dont let them drill for oil around the outhouse...they may hit black gold... :ugly:
Sonic used to have these jalapeno fries...they were AMAZING.
McDonalds had SWEET TATOR FRIES?!!!!!!! WHat?!!!!!!! Musta been before my time....Roscoe is pretty old...*cough*
I had donuts for breakfast...haha
Talking about all that food would have been a good way to build up an appetite... but the talk of drilling around the outhouse is a good way to diet. :roll:
In the meantime, good morning y'all! Guess what I'm doing. C'mon, guess! Betcha you'll never be able to guess.
Sweet Tator PIES. Not fries.
Man! That would be awesome!
I bet it's either something to do with bread or music.
WHERE DID YOU HIDE THE CAMERA!?! How could you possibly have guessed that if you didn't have a camera spying on me?
I have a sixth sense.

At last count I had eleven senses, but I don't know which one is the sixth. How do you put them in order?
How have you not had a donut in a week? Did all the bakeries go on strike? Do you live in (horror of horrors) a Krispy Kreme-less zone?
Turn up my hearing aids to read?! Since when?!
I actually had a raspberry filling, 2 glazed and several donut holes.
I have another glazed and the remainder of the donut holes to munch on later!

*gasp*
You of all people I would have never expected you to list Krispy Kremes!
Krispy Kremes are NASTY!
This will come as a huge surprise, but- I'm really not big on donuts. If they're there, and free, as is often the case around a police department, I'll eat one. But it's rare that I spend money for one.
And Isaac- I really don't care for Krispy Kremes as much as I do shipley's, or Daylight Donuts. The Krispy Kremes are just too sweet. Now there's a bakery in Lousiana that makes "Spud-nuts"- donuts made with potatoe flour I believe, that are awesome, but I've had them just once...

I was talking, or typing, metaphorically. Get stronger bifocals, then, Granny. :P
One of my best donut memories is as a kid, every Saturday morning Daddy and I would get up, go get donuts and go garage sale-ing....just the two of us. One of my favorite memories.
I used to have bifocals as a kid. When I first got glasses in the 3rd grade. Because I read so much, the dr. recommended them. Not sure when I got out of having them...but I don't currently have them now.
I'm getting hungry again, will y'all talk about something besides food. ;)

And Jenn, since you are a reader, you are forgiven for twisting my words and misreading them, causing me to backtrack and check myself.
Incredible...
How in the world can anyone sing "I went to the enemy's camp" and make it sound like a show tune? I thought it was impossible to sing that song without feeling the Spirit.
Oh well, so much for this album.
"I'm so glad Jesus lifted me
I'm so glad you get to hear me
I'm so glad you get to listen to me
Singin' glory hallelujah
Don't I sing so pretty"
Bleh.
What part of "you gotta wait for the dr before you are discharged" is hard to comprehend?
Dad is about to walk out and the Dr hasn't released him yet. He got a call to go to LA and he is itching to get out of this room.
Mom is gonna HIT THE ROOF when I come home without him. Lord.
does anyone remember the chili cheese burrito from Taco Bell?
Oh and HI everyone.
Hey Mymbir!! No, I never saw that one.
God answered another prayer! The guy called back and dad doesn't need to go! He is upset, but I am relieved! But the good news is, he ISN'T going home AMA!
I hate we are still stuck in the hospital, but it's better than him working today. Yay!
well thats good! I'm glad it worked out for the best. But now when does he actually get to go home??
Who cares as long as he doesn't go to work! Lol
That's what I was worried about today.
I'm thankful my mom said shed do my laundry for me but I will hold it against her that she had lasagna without me yesterday. The evidence was in the fridge.
Back to my house to watch The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It's a tradition when I'm sick. Lol
hehe. well lets hope I make it to work.
I need lots of prayer that I get a vehicle, or money for one!..
or that my parents get money for one and give mine back!!!
I love me some Kimber!
Did you get my text about coffee last night? We did it...does it count? ;)
I used to work at a Taco Bell for 4.5 years and I remember the chili-cheese burrito. I also remember when it was called something else, but they changed the name. Rumor has it they changed it because the former name meant something they didn't want it to mean.
The "chili" in it was a measure of the regular taco ground beef, a little water and a chili sauce packet. Don't think they have it anymore.
Er...just thought of something. Wheres Taco been?
Been wondering that myself, especially as he has been feeling bad lately.
I am craving a big juicy turkey leg. Thanksgiving can't get here soon enough.
Taking breather & then doing the baking for the marriage seminar tomorrow.
I bought a ham & got a turkey free. Great deal except I don't know how to make a ham. it's not the pineapple/cherry kind. It's like a perfectly oval, no bones.
Taco texted me...hes been busy with stuff and hasnt had a chance to get online.
I'm having Jimmy Johns again for the third time this week. LOL....I just can't get enough of it!
9:30. Yeah right.
Hospitals. Sheesh.
Still sitting here. Waiting. Dr may be in at about 3:30, but I won't hold my breath. If we get out of here by 5 I'll be surprised.
Blah.

Least you're getting to use wifi!! Means you can talk to us all day! Yippee!
Yeah...that has been the best part of this whole ordeal. I've been able to use it for two whole days!
Man I have missed it! ;)
But my battery is at 22% and my charger is all the way outside in the truck...I didn't think I would need it today. LOL!
I am still alive in case anyone was wondering. I have just been crazy busy getting ready to move. I had to get rid of a bunch of junk in storage. In the middle of all that I have a couple of classes right now that come with a huge work load. When I am not cleaning and packing I am working on school stuff. Also, been filling in some for the pastor while he was away. Studying for Sunday School or preaching has taken up a large amount of my time as well. Add a sinus headache that wont go away and you can see how crazy the last few weeks have been for me. Maybe I can catch up with GP sometime next year. December promises to be just as crazy as November has been. lol
This afternoon is dragging... I'm ready to get off and go home. *sigh*
Welp, we are blowing this Popsicle stand.
Dad is sick of waiting for this Dr and I am too, frankly.
I'll miss the WiFi and seeing all my friends in and out and around here, but I'm tired and still have stuff to do at home and at church.
So yeah, we are gone. It's been fun with y'all though!
:hi:
Well what do you know? The Dr just came in. He's at the nurses station, but I'm in the truck and dad is being wheeled to the front as we speak.
He wouldn't stay.
So yeah. I can't say I blame him really.
My mom threw away almost half of her mini lasagna. I may disown her......
I'm gonna attempt to make chicken alfredo for me and APB. Wish me luck.
Lord, you were all chatty Cathys today....
Well, the cistern digging was not nearly as horrific as I feared it might be. He did hit water, but he just left it a tad shallow and then hooped dirt up on top of it to make the depth what it should be.... We still will have to smooth it all down and crud, but it's in there...gotta get it plumbed up now..and fill in the hole at the end that's still open for the water pipe and all.... But that actually all went fine. The excavator was a real nice guy.
And along with all that, I continued painting these horrific railings.... All blessed day aside from the times that I stopped messing with the cistern ordeal, and I just got the other set of stair ones done.....lord.... Now I have to do the stupid ramp........ :reaction: I'm gonna croak.
I discovered a new great feeling that I didn't know existed... buying a new camera that is not the same size as the old one but yet fits in the same case!!!!!!!
I'm very pleased
It feels like I'm ordering something for my trip from amazon multiple times a day - I was thrilled to find out I didn't need to order a case if for no other reason than I'm tired of clicking and having to deal with deliveries and packaging LOL
About this time next week I'll be hanging out with Nic and Bernard and Lana and Maddy... I'm so excited! :biglaugh:

On the sweet tater fries topic, White Castle had them....I don't know if it was just a seasonal thing before, or if they have them all the time, or if they have them again now that it's this season, or what...but they had them at one point.
And on the sweet tater pies at McD's deal...I didn't know they had those, but I've heard people talk about the punkin pies.

Oh, if they didn't kill me, the tasty morsels I would devour. :P
*Hugs* Heather really tight. I am SO glad to hear your good news!!!
*Hugs* Laci really tight. Girlie... I don't even know what to say. Everything I've thought of so far wouldn't be helpful just now. So I'll just say that my heart aches for where you're at right now, and that I wish I could give you a REAL hug right now.

I didn't cry though...I prayed...a lot...
but I'm crying now..feels like the harder I try..the further away from God I get...
I ain't the most spiritual, but......You know, that's exactly what the devil would have us believe. When we feel like we are far from God, it is easier for us to become less faithful, and to eventually give up and say "what's the use?"
You see, we never see a victory until after a battle and it's impossible to see a view from a mountain top without climbing the mountain first. While I don't know all that you are going through, I can tell you from what I've read that you've posted you've gone through alot. It seems to me that you are someone who really loves God and is trying to make a difference, not just in your own life, but in the lives of others.
People are watching you right now, wanting to see how you will react. Will you crack under the pressure? They are looking for something different, something to help them get through their problems, and if you keep your head up and trust God, you will see Him work things out in ways you would never have imagined. Not only in your life, but the lives of people you love. They will see that what you have received is real and able to change their life.
Don't give up and don't fall away from God. Double down, so to speak, pray harder, fast more, even when it seems impossible to do, and trust God. I know it's easier to say this than live it, but it's something I deal with myself daily. I've watched friends get down and get depressed and basically give up, and now a once strong ministry (their life and testimony), if you will, has fallen. I determined that no matter what, I will trust God, I will depend on Him, and I will not allow the devil to drag me into the depths of depression and the world of pity parties... for me, that was huge.
What am I saying? I don't know, maybe I'm just rambling, but don't give up, stay faithful to God, and TRUST Him. He'll bring you through this. I'm praying for you.

I know it's easier to say this than live it, but it's something I deal with myself daily. I've watched friends get down and get depressed and basically give up, and now a once strong ministry (their life and testimony), if you will, has fallen. I determined that no matter what, I will trust God, I will depend on Him, and I will not allow the devil to drag me into the depths of depression and the world of pity parties... for me, that was huge.
What am I saying? I don't know, maybe I'm just rambling, but don't give up, stay faithful to God, and TRUST Him. He'll bring you through this. I'm praying for you.
ISG, let me throw a little in here too...
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
(2 Corinthians 4:7-9 ESV)
Let me remind you, you've gave your testimony on here before, and it is beautiful.
1) Don't forget your testimony. God has brought you so far. He freed you from the slavery of sin, and that old task master the devil. And that old task master, the devil, wants his former slave back. And he will try and fight and fight and try to break your hold on God.
2) We have this treasure in jars of clay. God put the most priceless gift, his spirit, and the light thereof, in fragile, feeble, (and frankly, full of failure) vessels. But because he loved us, he did.
This third thing is a little something that may bring light to you today. It's a illustration that God showed me over the course of several weeks. We had a beautiful little rosebush sitting here in front of my house. One summer, it was covered with beautiful roses, and the scent seemed to overwhelm you as you walked to the door. But one little bud never seemed to want to open. Matter of fact, it had a hole where a bug had burrowed its way into the bud. I figured the little bud was a lost cause.
As the course of roses often are, the once beautiful roses withered and died, leaving only the solitude little bud. After several days, IT BEGAN TO BLOOM!
Ive smelled roses, and I have never smelled a rose so powerful. You could see where the bug had damaged this rose. But in its damaged state, the beauty of the scent was overwhelming!
Sometimes we look at ourselves as "damaged" goods. But is when we are afflicted, perplexed, persecuted and struck down that our praise to God grows that much sweeter. As the verses said, we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed!
Keep your head up!
Oh my. Laci wasn't the only one who needed to read those posts. Thank you both. Much.
I feel borderline frantic this evening, but I refuse to give in to it.
God, please give me your peace.:beret:

On the sweet tater fries topic, White Castle had them....I don't know if it was just a seasonal thing before, or if they have them all the time, or if they have them again now that it's this season, or what...but they had them at one point.
And on the sweet tater pies at McD's deal...I didn't know they had those, but I've heard people talk about the punkin pies.
:fork:
Oh, if they didn't kill me, the tasty morsels I would devour. :P
We don't have White Castle....not that I'd ever eat there anyway. EW!
Do ya'll have Whataburger?! lol
I second the "ew!" about White Castle. How is Whataburger better? I thought it was just another fast food factory. I don't have much experience with them though as they are not in this area, so I could be wrong.
Smashburger has sweet potato fries too...
I'm surprisingly awake after only 5 hrs of sleep. I do however feel a caramel frappe in my future.
Had an amazing talk with my friend Melissa last night concerning me and going to church (as in UPC, as in my home church). Church feels like a giant commitment to me and frankly it scares me. I've been hurt by most major commitments in my life (that church included). But on the other hand it's the only place I feel God.
Going to APB's nieces birthday shindig this afternoon. That is if APB's momma lets him go. *shakes head* that woman is weird. I could almost start a thread over just her weirdness, but I keep telling myself I have to play nice because she likes me and could be my MIL someday....

No, no Whataburgers.
It's a frosty morning. I don't want to go outside. lol
Whataburger...the best hamburger place around.

:great:
One of the most pleasant ways I know of ingesting caffeine is to go to the local Jack's and order a cappuccino shake. It's not on the menu but they'll make it if you tell them how. Half Blue Bell chocolate ice cream, half strong black coffee. Coffee melts the ice cream, ice cream cools off the coffee and you're left with kind of an iced mocha latte thing, only a lot creamier.
Might be a cappuccino shake in my future. I didn't get a lot of sleep, sinus junk.
Cold Stone has Pumpkin ice cream. I add yellow cake, graham cracker crumbs, and whipped cream all mixed in! It was so yummy!
Not really anything else new. I missed working this morning...just not feeling right and having a couple issues....
What should I make for supper? I was thinking Iowa cut pork chops and smashed garlic Yukon gold potatoes.
Change that to sweet potato ice cream, with all the other stuff, and that would be great!
ISG, your suggested dinner sounds great. I don't have a clue what I'm gonna eat for dinner. Heck, I ain't been up very long, breakfast is not even a dim memory yet. :biglaugh:
Lord, I'm dragging today. There's absolutely nothing getting done so far. Thank God I'm off work today.
I have much to do...wanna help?

Yeah, what he said.
I'm running some records off to CD, editing this music project for the church christmas program, and since there is nothing scheduled for any certain time today I decided to take Grandma out to eat. Been too long since we went out to eat anywhere.

Amen!!!
@Chel - we have Smashburger, I haven't tried it yet though!
We have a Smashburger. Only person I know that tried it HIGHLY recommended handy bathroom access after eating there... :ugly: :flush:
*yawn*...
I have done NOTHING all day...yet I can hardly keep my eyes open..ugh!
:hi:
:bustamove:
Just got home. Grandma commented on the way that some people would think it's strange, me taking my Grandma out for supper. I said well, we could turn around if you want...
Naaah, we both enjoy going out to eat, chatting. Don't do it often enough though.
I think tonight, for the first time in years, I'll go down to the weekly Saturday night auction. Let's see if it has improved since I was last there.
I love bread! It's not that I haven't discipline but rather that I am stubborn. Bread is God ordained food, my digestion is in rebellion. The thing is, I make good bread.
It would be very hard to meet Isaac & not eat all his bread.
I will discover a permanent solution to gluten intolerance!
It would be very easy to meet me and not eat all my bread. You'd have to go through a few other people to get to it. They'd stop you at the door.
The auction has indeed improved since I was last there, and I bought a few things. All stuff I'm gonna need and all fairly cheap.
Huh? LOL I'm just being silly.
Oh my goodness, Hannah thinks she had a Chinese accent down but really she just yells, "Chicken!" Over & over. It is too hilarious! I need to record it on video.
SO excited for you AB!
Thinking & praying for you, Lacey & Heather.
Marriage seminar this morning was great. It's going to be a fantastic day at church tomorrow. Excited about what God's going to do! Happy Sunday guys.
By the way, public service announcement: Set your clock back.
If you forgot to set your clock back and you get to church an hour early... there's always the prayer room. More people in the prayer room praying, the better the service will be.
I basically did NOTHING today...we didn't even really make supper. We got one of those Bertolli frozen dinner things...and Roomie got a TGIF one. They were pretty good.......We or more so I have been watching documentaries all day...
Not a bad day at all...just trying to de-stress.
I found my favorite shampoo that I hadn't really been able to afford on clearance at kmart yesterday....it was nice to use it today...
Is it sad that the highlight of my day was shampoo? :sadbounce:
On another note? Your church has a room just for prayer? Is this typical? If so my church is weird...we pray in the sanctuary for 15-20 minutes before service...but I bet you could call anytime and get someone to let you in to pray...Sometimes I feel so out of the loop having only been Apostolic for a little over a year now...my baptism day is coming up this month...I have been through so much this year..but that's a whole nother topic....
I said Winder today....it made me laugh.
In some churches they have rooms for prayer - Men's and Women's. In other churches they hold prayer in the sanctuary before service. It can work both ways... Either way, the more people there are praying, the better the service.
Shampoo isn't so bad. Sometimes the highlight of my day is finding a new album, sometimes it is a really good chocolate bar, sometimes it is petting the cat. Depends on how much you like that shampoo.
Have you seen the gourmet chocolate bars that have...um...different stuff in them...beef jerky, cajun seasonings, and various other things I find odd, although I'd love to try chocolate covered bacon...
Nothing covered in chocolate surprises me anymore, though I can synthesize the flavor combination well enough in my mind to spare myself actually trying most of them.
Lindt puts out a dark chocolate bar with chili pepper extract... that is surprisingly good! I investigated and found out chili and chocolate have been paired long before this, so it's not new ground after all... but it's new to me.
Feeling Genesis 2:18 strongly tonight!

What kind of shampoo??
And oh yes, we have a prayer room that goes from one side of the church to the other. It is the entire back side of the platform. You can go in on one side of the platform and walk all the way thru the prayer room behind it and come out the other side.
Prayer begins 30 minutes before service. Anyone who is on the platform is "expected" to be in the prayer room the 30 minutes before service. Obviously it's not a you're going to be in big trouble if you don't do it, but rather Pastor will let God handle you for not praying before you are involved in ministry and leading in worship before a service begins.
One of my favorite things sometimes - especially on a Wednesday night when I've worked all day and need to just clear my mind to be ready and in tune for the Word that's gonna go forth that night!
Lord.
Went and painted on those hateful railings....still not done.....God help me.... Came home to turn around and go to church.
Came home from church...sleepy as a mugg, as TPAM would say...*cough*.....went to sleep here a while...got up and walked into my room, laid down on the floor and went to sleep some more....finally got up and tended the fowl....
Need to go to sleep again now for the duration.
Oh....and on the way home from the church after painting, I felt a pain in my elbow....thought maybe I had paint on my arm hair and it was matted down pulling it....hoped it wasn't a wasp, but it didn't feel like that after the initial gouge...wiggled my elbow out to find a little piece of wire sticking out of me...
While ago when I got ready to take a shower.....I found another one in my upper arm, and one in my leg! :freaky:
I guess wires from the wire brush drill thing I used the other day to try to brush rust out of the crevices of these blasted railings.... Crawling and laying all over the ground I picked them up I guess.... I keep wondering if I have more stuck in me that I don't know about. :reaction: I think I discovered one that poked me when it happened while I was over there...but these others have been in me and I didn't know it....good lord....
We pray in the fellowship hall 30 minutes before service. If you're on the platform you BETTER be in there. In a couple of our old buildings there were separate rooms for men, women, and youth.
I'm awake an hour earlier than planned just because I went to bed so blasted early. I promised friends I'd go to church with them this am in Johnson City but I'll probably go to my home church tonight. Idk. I'll probably talk myself out of it.....
My life is full of too many turns right now...
Do we have a church picture thread? I'd love to see everyone's churches. I think it would be neat!
I lost the baby.
Yes I'm alright. I'm keeping life as normal as possible right now. I had just kinda gotten used to the idea...but it's for the best.
Oh and it's John Freida Anti-breakage. it's normally 6 bucks or so a bottle and I got it for 4. and it was the 35% more bottles.
Heading to church soon.
Preaching today and feeling 2 different messages very strongly. Pray God gives me clear direction on where to go, or leads me to something else if neither of these are HIS plan for today.

Went to church, came home, eating lunch...gonna go back and paint, story of my life.....Good lord have mercy.....
:hi:
Went to church with my friends like I promised I would. My friend Melissa text me and asked why I wasn't at my home church. Told her my gas light was on in my car so I probably wouldn't make it tonight. So now she's coming to pick me up for service tonight. Way to make myself accountable I guess. Lol. Considering taking a nap even though I shouldn't be this tired....
Well nevermind going to church. There is a very high chance my ex-husband could be preaching tonight and I just can't deal with that yet....
I have painted for days on end.....and I am yet not done.....
/me dies.
Just embalm me with paint thinner.
Dear lord, the stupid pro wrestler's girlfriend duck girl is begging me go give her one of my conures....she was asking me for info on breeders....I don't know any directly, but I know of ones that go to the bird fairs, I keep telling here there are a lot there...she just ignores that...then she begs for mine....and says she doesn't have that kind of money to spend on one.....and said can she just have one and teach it to talk and give it back. :roll:
I should let her take Snoopy and left him/her bite the fire out of her. lol
Weeeee!
Found a black gospel album that was really good in these old records. :hyper:
There's a shortage on corn and there's a shortage on wheat
There's a shortage on bread and there's a shortage on meat
But I know one thing that there's no shortage of
There's no shortage on God's mercy, there's no shortage on God's love!
There's just something about it when people sing about God, and they sound like they actually know what they're singing about. :)

Hording nothing. I have a whole candy dish full of other lesser chocolate confections. I just horde the peanut butter cups. And speaking of those, they need a crunchy peanut butter cup.
Yes! They do need one of those!
For the record, Linux rocks.
I found a great CD, used, cheap. Listened to it on a normal CD player, liked it a lot. Put it in my music computer to rip it because an mp3 player can't play physical CDs... no luck. This CD came from the bad old days when the music industry was so upset about people file-sharing that they thought it would be a good idea to make it harder for legitimate customers to copy their music to computer. All I could get was a menu of photos, movies (on a music cd?) and a program to install.
Put the CD in my Linux computer, it ripped with no problem. :D
Mind you, Windows is still my go-to for a music computer. But a good workman sometimes needs more than just one kind of hammer.

I second the "ew!" about White Castle. How is Whataburger better? I thought it was just another fast food factory. I don't have much experience with them though as they are not in this area, so I could be wrong.
I saw this last night, and didn't see a response to it.
From their website:
"Today, each and every Whataburger is made to order, right when it's ordered. And they're still made with 100% pure American beef and served on a big toasted five-inch bun with all 'the extras' to suit your taste. Grilled jalapenos, extra bacon, three slices of cheese, no tomatoes, extra pickles? No problem, your Whataburger will be made just like you like it 24 hours a day 7 days a week."
So yeah, everything is made fresh when you order. And it tastes like a good burger should. And if you like jalapenos, ask them to grill them, along with your onions. Its the best. And the fact that they are open 24 hrs a day, if you get a burger craving at 3 am, you can satisfy that craving... (if you have one close enough that is...)

Mini, next time you stumble down this way, I'll have to take you to Dave's burgers in Conway. It's a little locaal chain- I think they have two resturaunts in this area- and burgers are all they do. Hand made patties, grilled to your taste in front of you. They'll put ole Whattaburger on the truck, I promise.
And I have court today, so I basically get a day off. I was subpeoned by my former department to testify on a Theft of Motor Fuel arrest I made five years ago.
Five years ago!! A guy drove off without paying for his gas and I caught him. Yeah, I remember that. Not. I couldn't remember what the guy looks like if he walked up and punched me. Oh well, I'll go to court explain to the prosecuter that I don't have a clue, yak at former coworkers for a bit, and come home and relax. Not a bad deal..
Sure enough Matt preached last night. Glad I decided not to go. Yes I can finally attend church and be cordial to both him and his latest fiancé but I just cannot sit under him teaching me considering what he did to me.....
Should get out of bed. I think I hear the electric company back outside. They are replacing 2 leaning poles on my street on either side of my house. They'll kill my lights soon but I don't have to be to work for another hour. Sigh...

I can see where that would be an icky situation. Is there not another Apostolic church in the area that you could attend where you wouldn't be put in situations like that?

Deal! Hamburgers ranks right beside fried chicken and meatloaf as my favorite meals.
On other news, I my mother in law got me a 2 quart crockpot for work! And seeing its a nice, rainy, dreary day, I have it full of chili. By lunch, this place should smell great!
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/minnesota68/IMG_20111107_080000.jpg)
Aw, that can keep Old Fries company....you can sit out a bowl of Old Chili....... :ugly:
Stuff.
Thanks Minnesota, I'll have to try that if I'm ever passing by one. I'm always skeptical of the "100% ground beef" claim... that's what a certain fast food factory claims as well and I used to work there and know what it looks like before and after cooking... But at thy word I'll give it a shot.
In other news I'm starting to enjoy teaching Sunday night Children's Church. We have some pretty sharp kids.
In other other news Jennies (R) macaroons are pretty good if you ever happen to see them in a store somewhere. I'm sitting here eating far too many.
Whataburger...is super YUM!
White Castle...is also super YUM! MMM Sliders!
Roomie and I eat at Red Robin almost every Sunday after church...Red Robin...YUMMMMM!
I don't care for White Castle.
But I really don't eat any of that kind of stuff anymore anyways.

Man I'm hungry - all this talk of food. lol I didn't have any breakfast!
I had four scrambled eggs on whole wheat sourdough for breakfast. And then a few more macaroons. It's kind of a good thing I only bought one tin of them, I'm already eating way too many.
I want to not hate my job a whole shift....that's all I ask. *sigh*

I'm eating Bueno now lol :fork:
I ate well or ate badly, depending on whether or not I'm talking to a cardiologist. I ate some chili cheese onion rings, which they didn't have on the menu but which the waitress said they have done before. Very good, very tasty, very unhealthy, but did I mention it was good? :great:
I haven't every been to Taco Bueno but I like Taco Johns. Seems like those are scarce.
Throw in lots of cilantro & I could eat tacos everyday.
Hannahs practicing for the Christmas program. Only 3 more yrs of her being in it, then it's youth group!
Leaves hugs for the gals.
I don't care for cilantro. :smirk:
Oh I LOVE cilantro! YUM lol
Chel can't eat it, it makes her sick.
Roscoe-there are other churches. It's just that's my home church of the past 11years. It's been his for about 3. It just makes me mad how things went down and I'm stubborn.
Boy work has been Monday. All day. Positive of it all, it's payday!
Did anyone start a church pictures thread? I like pictures in general but I really enjoy seeing a glimpse of everybody's lives. Sether's church pictures are fun.
I started one!!

Went to the church for a bit. A couple of the guys were putting the new storm doors up. I didn't paint cause I didn't know if it was gonna rain or not...with I had, cause it didn't. :roll: But I went to Bedford and got feed and an oil change and such....needed to do that anyways.
Be at the church tomorrow anyways, got a furnace guy coming, and a load of stone coming, and they may lay carpet since they didn't today, dunno....
Wow, sounds like a total remodel.
Well, it's felt like one. :smirk2:
I guess sometimes I do have good ideas....I'm trying to think if I have any church pics on here..I know I could borrow one from our facebook....
Is your church on facebook?
ISG-Mine is! Restoration Church. Bristol TN. The picture is a black background with the church name in purple.
ugh
Not feeling good... But, in spite of Mel-Mel, hopefully I'll live.
Just felt my first earthquake!!!
There's a whole lotta shaking going on...
This evening's was a 4.7
They had a 6.9 near Japan.
Today started out musically with piano lesson. Today ended very hectic at work. Glad it's over.
In other news, the topic of this thread is still holding true. :)
Laid in the floor and went to sleep a while. Got up and tended fowl. Going to sleep again in a bit. :smirk2:
Earthquakes are a really weird feeling. I've only felt one (and one small aftershock), the one we had a few years ago. Really bizarre sensation, cause you're just stuck in it.... Wind and rain, other weather elements, you can go inside and take shelter from (barring a tornado or something that's ripping your roof off, of course), but no matter where you go, the earth quake is there, unless you take flight...lol
I think I just experienced my first one! It woke us up out of a dead sleep & seemed to last awhile. Not thunder tho it's been pouring all evening. Too strong for it to be a distant train.
I don't have Tv so I don't know how to find out. & is this an aftershock of oklahoma or our own? And then are our Okie's OK?
I'm awake now. Lol
All the okies are ok. And really excited about having some "new" force of nature to talk about on facebook and at the local coffee shops.
Glad all the okies are alright! Thought of you all when I started reading about quakes. I have a friend from HS who is out there at the Air Force base. She's ready to pack up and come back east. Lol
I've started kinda looking on the Internet for different local churches. Alot of the problem is there are ALOT of apostolic/pentecostal holiness churches in my area within an hours drive. And 85 percent of them are full of old fogeys who'd have a heart attack if someone like me walked through the door. The other 10 percent are waaayyyy too worried about there appearance for me. I like the pastor and quite a few of the people at Gate City but you drive an hour to church to just turn around and leave because you haven't grown up there and out of 120 people you're not dressed cool enough to hang with any of them.
I just love my church but it's so super hard with my ex-husband and his latest fiancé there. I was really hopin they'd go to HER church but alas she came to Restoration. Sigh....
Ugh. That's about all I got.
:hi: It's supposed to storm here today.
At work. And the storms that have been in oklahoma are supposed to be here just in time for my commute home. Joy joy. Its not enough that I have to deal with 60 miles of bad drivers, now I have to deal with storms too. :smirk2: oh well. I just home mini's earthquakes stay with him.
The OK earthquakes were felt in TX. Chel and Dina both felt one of them.
Um. I haven't heard anyone else say anything so maybe it wasn't an earthquake? Not sure what it was then tho. We live on a city road so the traffic goes by at 35 mph. It lasted like what felt like a min but probably was 30sec. Too long for traffic. I feel dumb now. Woke us both up though!
Getting off to a slow start today. Woke up feeling blah. Probably ate too many macaroons and whoppers too close to bed... but these things are addictive!
At any rate, howdy y'all!

whoppers as in the malted chocolate candy? Man I love those things! Try the milkshake hat they print the reciepe on the side of the carton. Its awesome!
Yeah, those whoppers. But I am not even up for a milkshake right now. Bleh.
I hate feeling bleh. I'm accustomed to feeling better than bleh. But I was a bit hard on my system yesterday... chili cheese onion rings, cheeseburger, walnut sundae, chips... My body is accustomed to better food than that. I just felt like being unhealthy yesterday, so I'm feeling bleh today. :smirk2:

I wish you were closer! My church is really accepting of ALL kinds of people. I remember my first time there..and having at least 10 people welcome me! *sigh* I really wish churches held more to the way Jesus felt about people. Accept everyone....I try really hard not to base my opinion of anyone on their hair or clothes or any other physical appearance, I mean what if I didn't talk to someone because they weren't dressed a certain way, I could miss out on a new great friend. Yet another reason I love my church, I'm accepted even though I'm not thin with extremely long hair that always lays perfect and wonderful clothes. I'm me, I try my best to be me, a better me than I used to be....they all know my faults...and still love me....
*HUGGGS!* for everyone!
Oh and I've been looking around the web. Roscoe I really love expanding your sig line. I have a few more for you to consider :) (http://www.roadstarraider.com/Smileys/default/cop2.gif) and (http://www.wigen.net/emoticons/more/cop.gif)

Okay either it was something I ate (yeah, as if that narrows it down :roll: ) or I have a stomach bug. I am not feeling well. Had to call in to work, which is a pity because I really need that money for the Youth Retreat trip.
Hello all.
Had to come to church to print some SS stuff. Leaving now. Going to the store and then home to cook dinner for the parents...lord knows they might starve. :roll:

Heather, I've been thinking on your situation...
I think it would be profitable to
1. Pray and fast about what church God wants you at.
2. Check out the old fogey churches, just in case they are growing and have new people and may be ready for or in revival.
3. Talk to and Elder or someone that you can get some deep Godly council from that knows you or can at least look you in the eye and use discernment.
God has a will in this sis, it's just a matter of recognizing it.
*****
Ok, I'm outta here. Have church tonight. I still feel really dumb for thinking I felt an earthquake. And I really want to know what it was. Nothing in the news. I may be losing my mind... bwuahahahahaha!
Here's looking at you kid.. LOL

It's amazing what a good day's sleep and lying down can do.
What happened to that girl I was right after I was baptized? I was so immersed in everything Holy....now...I make the same mistakes over and over...and I feel like I'm looking for something...but it's hopeless really.
I'm just a little down tonight...I think it's the fever...at least I have tomorrow off work thanks to one of the guys picking up the AM shift for me.
IowaSkirtGirl are you fasting regularly? I had a bout of temptation from something I used to do. Prayed about it, agonized over it, but the temptation kept coming stronger and stronger. Then a light bulb went off in my head and I tried fasting... Everything cleared right up, no problem here anymore.
In other news: I got a good night's sleep, either slept or just lay down almost all day... so now how am I going to get any sleep tonight? I don't want to take sleeping pills, they make me feel funny.

Well...carpet laid...stone spread....furnace worked on......pump in the cistern started to be worked on.... Didn't paint a lick, was too busy with various other pursuits and such.
Ahh. Fasting. My issues are all with temptation..and me telling temptation no. Food is my only comfort it feels. I know prayer and Jesus are supposed to be comforting...I quit drinking...and started eating....I quit being addicted to drugs...and I started eating....NOW that I can back away from the trough a bit....I might try fasting...but with my ulcers being the pain (literally) that they are..I don't know how well my stomach would handle all that....
*sigh*
There are different types of fasts, sis. While the water only is a clear cut major sacrifice, there is also the Daniel's fast. It is often a week or more but it is eating & does prove to be a major sacrifice as well, still denying the flesh. Obviously, trading one addiction for another isn't a solution but everyone is different so a different fast may help. I can elaborate about the Daniels fast but I think Sis.George will be able to help you even more.
You ARE an over comer, sis. *big bear hug* :)
Ugh.....
As I said, it's amazing what sleeping all night and sleeping/lying about all day can do. I feel much better. When I think of greasy or meaty foods my stomach no longer threatens to leap straight up my throat and throttle my brain.
I never did puke though, just felt sick and queasy. I think it was something I ate. I have never had the GIs like that though.
Just bumped my iTunes to 1,725 songs haha....It was at like 1,600 and something.....I used to could play it for 5.2 days and not hear the same song twice. Now I can play it for 5.4 days and not hear the same song twice.
WHAT what! Love it!
Oh and that's not counting the like 3-4 cd's I have of holiday music. I take them out after Christmas is over so I don't have to hear them when I shuffle my iTunes.
Weirdos.
Hush Se.th, some people like to not listen to the same CD every day. I have more music than you could listen to in a week and 3 days, 24 hours a day.
Morning. :hi:
You're still all weirdos.

I may expound on this at some point, but trust me, to fast, fast food/sodas/everything except water. Thats the only way to fast, and the only way to get clear spiritual breakthrough. I have done the Daniel fast (7 days, 21 days) and while beneficial in some ways, a good ol' fast, where you fast food is the way to go.
And don't replace the time fasting with carnal things (ie, movies, entertainment, media).
I love me some Georges! I will have to ask her about it. I haven't sat down and talked with her in MONTHS! I mean I still talk to her, but not like really counsel...*sigh* I think it's time for an hour of her time..I will have to call her!
*sigh*
I need to learn to dress for the weather...first really cold snap with snow..and I'm sick...strep...sinus infection and ear infection...I don't know how to get just a little sick :(
Today marks 1 year since my dear friend Kevin passed away.
It's gonna be a long day.....
This is a oldie, but a goodie...
The teacher gave her fifth-grade class an assignment: get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.
Ashley said, "My father's a farmer, and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess."
"What's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"Very good," said the teacher.
Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, "Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this story is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.'"
"That was a fine story, Sarah. Michael, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes, my daddy told me this story about my Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in the Gulf War and her plane was hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun, and a machete. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then she landed right in the middle of a hundred enemy troops. She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out of bullets. Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the blade broke. Then she killed the last ten with her bare hands."
"Good grief," said the horrified teacher, "what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"
"Stay away from Aunt Karen when she's been drinking!"
In a professional setting, people should not just start calling someone by a nickname. This girl just started not long ago, and she's calling me Nelle. Only ONE person at work gets by with it, and that's cause she rarely uses it. I don't understand where this newer girl got the gall to suddenly start calling me Nelle. If I say something to her, it becomes an issue and a possible confrontational situation. I'm not mad, I just don't think it's professional. It'd be different if we were friends but we're just coworkers. I'm older than her, been here longer, and a couple of steps up the chain. :/
Maybe she found your GP profile. :smirk2:
/me hides from "Aunt Karen." :couch:

Woah, Nelle...
*cough*
:ugly:
My "Nelle" is said as "Nell." The "e" is silent just like in my real name. The lady who "gets away with calling me that" actually does call me Nelley or Janelley. I just know -I- wouldn't suddenly call someone a nickname that I don't know very well and especially not without asking. Weird how comfortable some people get.
I don't care what you call me as long as its not "late for dinner" :fork:

Speaking of dinner, I'm hungry.
Lordy I'm soooooo tired right now....I cannot seem to keep my eyes open!
I slept all night night-before-last, slept a lot yesterday because I was sick, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to get to sleep last night. I shouldn't have worried...
But with all that sleep I feel great in record time! Back to work today. I'll never see that money I would have made yesterday though.
There is a place mini for D.F. I've been on 2 40 day D.F & it broke things that the longest 6 day water only day fast did not. It's different & brought about change in things that were deep seeded & long term. Water only is not the only way to go & not the only way to be fully delivered.
If I could summarize it I would say water fasts break chains in a powerful a sudden way while DF uproot a change you from the entire mindset & stronghold that took you there in the first place & tries to shuffle one problem for another. Thougj obviously there's more to it than that. Both fasts we're painful & changing.
I need a topic for my "creative voice" project in my Humanities class! Help!
Idea's along what I'm looking for (but can't use):
Masculinity in the 21st Century
Are women the new men?
Education as a civil rights issue.
Race as a function of language no biology
just to name a few....now help!
Quote from: MsJennJenn on November 09, 2011, 06:26:15 PM

That explains a lot of what I see at Walmart....
What about societies admiration for self mutilation from Tibeten monks setting themselves on fire to tatoos/ cosmetic surgery.
Femininity coming full circle, women's dissatisfaction with living like men in the career world.
Mens dissatisfaction with women constantly out preforming them in eating contests.
BOL!
Serious answers people! Serious answers! :pound:
That is serious. Every time I see a 100# woman put down 4 slabs of ribs and all the fixins, it makes me question the equality of gender.

Or try "McMansions unsatisfying as fulfillment of the american dream."
From good ole Wiki:
"A McMansion is a large house in a sub-division of similarly large houses, which all seem mass produced and lacking distinguishing characteristics, and at variance with established local architecture."

I like this idea...something to tie in family values, and marriage. And the decline of it in our society.
I have to in Step 5 (i think of this 7 step process) interview 5 people...and one of them has to be a "expert" in my topic. I could interview my Pastor for that! ha....I'm trying to think if anyone I know has a "degree" in this field.
Here are the steps to this project I have to do:
1. Write an Abstract (basically introducing my idea to people)
2. Create a survey (using surveymonkey) of 10 questions, and get 25 people to take it, and write about the results
3. Interview (5 people, one has to be an expert in my topic), video the interviews, and transpose them, and write about the results
4. Annotated Bibliography (summary of my research)
5. Biographical Sketch (to tell the audience about me to get my world and my topic)
6. Peer Feedback Discussion Board (post on my class website for peer feedback)
7. Creative Voice Presentation (basically compile the above 6 steps into a fancy presentation: research paper, collection of poems, a PowerPoint presentation etc etc...something along that)
This is all due by December 5th!
F r eaking out!!!!!!!!! :o
Segregation vs. Congregation, how the the church accomplished what the civil rights movement fell short of.

Obfuscation (or beclouding) is the hiding of intended meaning in communication, making communication confusing, wilfully ambiguous, and harder to interpret.
Eschew obfuscation about family matters, espouse elucidation about family matters.

:sick: :sick: :sick:
Went to town and back.....blah blah blah.
It snow flurried. Ew. That was enough for the season. We can lapse back into spring now.
Wow, snow already. It got to the upper 30s last night here but is supposed to be nearly 80 again in the next day or so.
It was 45 here. If it must snow that's the way I'd prefer it to happen. lol
Write it down in the history books! All 4 of us are at the library... lol.
OH my goodness. Trying to make chicken gumbo tonight. Not sure it's the right flavor or if I'm just not used to it. LOL Nathan should like it though.
It's getting too cold here for sure. I'm not ready for snow. ever.
I'm at church.
My tummy don't feel good.
Prolly has nothing to do with the 13 peppers I ate yesterday.
I hope to get some more tonight. Hehe.
:hi:
:pound: there is something in my head doing that...to my sinuses...
Sorry about the whining...I really dislike the sickness of my face. :cry2:
My, but y'all have been chatterboxes... NOT!
What a day. Glad it's over. Just got back from Walmart grocery shopping, nearly had to "get ghetto" with the tire and lube guy.....Lou's Caddy was overdue for an oil change and my shop is currently full. Plus her car takes an oil filter that costs $11 bucks, so when I saw that Walmart was advertising an oil change for $26- I can't change it that cheap, so I let them. * Note- I know the guys that work there and they know what I do for a living so they are VERY cautous with my vehicles. I wouldn't necessarily reccomend Walmart otherwise*
I got back to pick up the car, total bill $41. :o I think not! After explaining calmly that that was not the advertised deal, and that I was not going to pay that, and that if they insisted several of my buddies would be needed, because I WOULD take one of the managers with me to the jail, by way of the hospital....... They reasonably decided that I was a) stupid enough to follow through and b) not going to back down, and gave me the oil change at the advertised price. Now I have to repent over my temper. :hypocrite:
And totally unrelated- if anyone ever sees me eating canned herring- please give generously, I am apparently starving. I had never tasted it before and they had a special on it so I bought a can. Never again. I will eat roadkill first. :laughhard:
That is all.. :waving:
Went to church, came home.
Actually tended fowl before church since it was dark early.
The only canned meat worth eating is tuna fish and chicken! lol
I have caught some kind of cold that has got me coughing my lungs up. I have a ton of stuff to get done in the next two weeks I can't be down with a cold. Revival, three appointments next week. finish packing, tie up a lot of loose ends, and then get out of Dodge. Could use some prayers for strength and healing from this cold. Took some prescription cough syrup maybe it will kick in and I will at least sleep tonight.

I cannot eat any canned meat at all. Canned chicken smells like tuna. I can barely handle canned vegetables. *shudder*
Good morning! Finally got up with Nathan & made him breakfast. I haven't done it for awhile. He lets me sleep since he knows I'll be up at 6:30 making the kids' breakfast. He's so sweet but it means he doesn't eat more than a piece of toast.
Broke out the stocking caps & gloves this morning.

Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find.

Well I worked 2 hours over yesterday and the day before (making up for being sick Tuesday.) Now for the 12 hour stretch today, 4 hours over. If only I had been sick Monday instead, I could do 2 hours a day over for the rest of the week.
Oh well, it's still cool that the company lets me make up time like this. I would have missed that money, I need all I can get for Youth Retreat. Especially as Pentecostal Publishing will certainly have a booth set up, and of course I always need more music...
MAN! Stupid Pandora!! lol
I created a new station to play "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum...and I've been waiting ALL day for it to play...and I just went downstairs to use the restroom, and came back up...and wouldn't you guess it, it's what was playing....and it was the end of the song! Rawr!
I'm ready to go home. I need to make a cake for Dina's baby shower.

Getting ready to go to Bryen's ball game. If we win tonight we go to Vian next week. That in your neck of the woods Porter?
Its about 30 minutes east of church...

Hey, mini.When this spring rolls around and I get to do that little jaunt in rusty we've talked about- should we make sure that sarba ann's hubbby is shown the error of his ways in all things tractor? Their area is on my list of cruise through spots.... Wonder ifn Rusty will haul a john deere? :laughhard:
And I just bet Rusty can "infect" another gearhead.....then Sarba can suffer like Chellebelle and Lou....
Went to the church and painted....got the rails done, praise be, and the rest of the "walls".....yay....! But now I think I may paint the window wells. :smirk2:
I'm OCD.
I am still at Ann's. About to go home though. Been having too much fun talking and stuff to be online much.

Hello, I'm still alive, somewhat busy this week, gotta go, stay cool everyone.
Pulled over...again....this is getting to be a bit much, I am actually close enough to my house that I can pick up our wireless.....
I just can't seem to catch a break...well kinda...I'm not going to jail, and they aren't towing the truck...just waiting on roomie to walk over here and get it...
I'm going home...and back to bed...this is just too much.
Why did I volunteer to work on Saturday?!? This is way too early to be up. Even by my cats standards.
Auditioned for a play this past Tuesday. Callbacks are Sunday afternoon. If I'm cast ill play a nun :)
I'm up. At Walmart with dad. Got groceries. He's checking out and I'm eating a biscuit at McDs.
Y'all have a good day!

I doubt if you can change their evil ways of yellow...but as soon as Cletus gets a ride in rusty, he will be dragging home a project.
Great idea Adina! Eggs reheat ok? I'll have to try it. I have everything already.

He's already wanting one without a ride in Rusty! He's just waiting for the right project to fall in his path.
Hey guess what?!...Most of our house is clean.
I don't feel quite so bad today...
:) Tomorrow is SUNDAY!!!
LOVED working with Dr Gray this morning. We all clocked out by 12:20!! Woot!!
Done a bit of house cleaning. Now just cuddling with Whiskey Petunia (my pup), crocheting and waiting for my love to come over and cook me some dinner. It's way past his turn....Lol
At my sisters...crocheting. lol
At the library. I'm frustrated. We have our Christmas music for choir/praise team on www.markcondoniclub.com for everyone to access and download. They also burned it to CD but it doesn't work. So I'm trying to download all the alto tracks to the songs, which worked fine but this computer doesn't register the 2 blank cds I brought. I had already downloaded all the songs to Nathan's phone for him but it didn't recognize my phone. Blah. I need to practice the most out of the whole lot of us cause I'm not musically educated but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I wish there was a website I could upload the mp3 files to that would let me access them from my phone.
It says that my CDs aren't recognized and may need formatted but it doesn't let me do that on this computer. Blah!
If only Weird Cat was there, I'm sure he could fix it.
A shower fly is a fly that lives in the shower....up until a few years ago I thought they were indigenous to our house and shower only, but then discovered, they are not...lol They're "drain flies."
:freaky:
Went to town, got some paint, and etc.... Finished up pretty much with the painting then....yay....I think.....
There's still no end to things.....
Oh, and you're all a very crochety bunch. :P :hypocrite:
Went to church, came home....
Glad you all waited on me.

I use box.net for uploading files for other people to access. I'm sure it would work for listening to them on your phone too. It's free for files under 25 megs. Just box.net, no .com.
About the blank CDs not working, dunno... I always use Memorex blanks and I've gotten maybe 5 bad CDs out of the hundreds and hundreds I've burned through. On the other hand, some off brand the assistant pastor picked up for the sound booth had one bad CD out of every three or so.
In general SHARING news: Howdy y'all! After 4 hours sleep I got up, went to church, vacuumed most of it, went to work for 6 hours, went to the auction and bought a few things, went to Wal-Mart and bought some stuff for the Children's Church party tomorrow (and two cast iron pans for my niece who loves to cook)... and now I'm back at church, finished the little bit of vacuuming I had left and I'm about to type the bulletin.
I've heard people say of their activities, "Well it keeps the dust off ya." There ain't no dust at all on me. :cool: Today has been a lot of fun and very profitable though.
And though I don't like to rely on it regularly, in a pinch caffeine rocks!

APB made me chicken marinara last night. I'm still full this morning. Lol. Plus we watched The Princess Bride (which he'd never seen).
Whiskey Petunia is being extra rotten this morning. Sheesh.
I finally got my keister in gear and made it to church this morning. Apparently they miss me when I'm not there. Gonna try to make it back this evening if I get out of callbacks/possible rehearsal in time.
Last night I get a text to sing lead on "Jesus said it" IBC does a really good job with it on youtube. So I made like 7 mistakes but my church is more concerned with worshipping than a singer, thank you Jesus.
Unseasonably warm today. Gorgeous out.
Getting ready for the Children's Church party tonight. Chocolate shakes... why in the world did I ever even think about giving them chocolate shakes? Oh well, I guess I deserve whatever happens tonight.
Hot dogs and chips, shakes (with oreo (tm) straws,) a hangman tournament with the kid with the highest points getting a grand prize. Hangman phrases will be taken from past lessons so if they listened in Children's Church they have a much better shot of winning. In between hangman rounds I'll have other stuff - a relay race (winning team all gets a certain amount of points,) random questions related to the last hangman round, etc.
If asking for trouble like this doesn't mean I'm crazy, be patient. By the end of the night I probably will be crazy anyway.
I know he's gonna say it, so I'll say this now: Hush Se.th.

Went to church, came home, went to Greenwood to bird fair and to my nephews for a bit cause it's right down the road from there, stopped at Rural King on the way back. Came home and at a Refried Bean Plate.
Taco eggs....I'd probably add taco seasoning and taco meat to eggs...I dunno...I had corn bread instead...
*sigh* I was in a great mood most of the day...now I'm a little bummed.
Funny story though...The row of seats I set at in church got taken away...I sit in the very back...I have since I started going to church...and sometimes our assistant pastor's amazing wife sits with us....well today she was talking during song service...NOT TO ME! so I got a text that our row of chairs is gone...I think that's a hint I need to "move on up" :D It made me laugh.
I actually did get out in time to go eat lunch with APB AND make it to church!!! And woo Jesus what a service!!!

As usual, I'm back at work. Got surprised last night when I was informed that due to family issues on the Sunday School teacher's part, I would be teaching the adult sunday school lesson. I had fifteen minutes to review a lesson I'd never read before and then it was time to teach it. :o I got a little sidetracked a couple of times and took off down uncharted paths, but it went amazingly well. Bro. Papa told me if I'd just continued and gave an altar call, he could've skipped preaching, so apparently I was in the right area. :biglaugh:
Y'all pray for me today.....gotta take someone to the firing range and their job is on the line. To some extent, there will be alot of pressure on me....I would appreciate the prayers.
@work.
The manager that I had all the conflict with got fired Saturday. I feel for his family that it's so close to the holidays, but it's for the best here.
I apparently have almost reached my body's limit of retail. Seems like my foot is experiencing some pain..normally it goes away, but this time it set up camp. Praying it (and my face problem) goes away soon!'

That's good Nelle! Hopefully you'll have some peace now until you move! I can understand conflict with bosses. I had a lady boss about a year and a half ago, who was making me physically ill. Literally, I would dread coming to work, I'd be SO stressed when she was around, I was anxious...it was making me physically ill.
No kidding MJJ! I felt bad when I was relieved to hear it! He jar wasn't a good fit for our store and he was too busy pushing an agenda, haha. Very few liked him, but we won't go into all of that. I'll just wish him well and enjoy the temporary quiet, haha. Now they'll start searching for another! But I've only got a few months left, so I will survive!! Haha.. :)
I'm sorta enjoying this mixed Christmas music in with our regular music. I've been singing along. :)
Hmmm... I got to sleep about 11pm, got up about 9am. Yum! After a hectic weekend it feels good to be caught up on sleep again.
And I still have three two pies (burp) from the bake sale last Saturday. And a batch of Grandma's chocolate oatmeal cookies that didn't set up the way she wanted (but those are the best kind!)

So Roomie's cat is sick. So I Googled it (because Googled is as good as the vet :-P) BUT then I did ask the vet at the farm if I was right, and he said I most likely am...so this really got me to thinking...I think I would like to go to school to be a vet...or a vet tech...am I too old to go to college?
So I gave her cat a shot...it's cow meds, but if we don't so something he will just get worse. He has a kitty UTI...it happens a lot in older male cats that have been fixed from what I understand...the vet said the meds are the same just the doses are different...I mean honestly if it doesn't make him better...then we will have to make a vet appointment..which with all my fines recently we really can't afford...I just noticed how much I use ... in my typings... Silly ellipsis.

It's warm here too. And windy as poo.
I never knew poo was windy, but the wind sure is kicking my minivan around every time I try to drive anywhere. The trip to my music teacher today (last one of the year, shutting down for the holidays) was eventful and fraught with peril. Not really, but it was interesting trying to drive the way the road goes when the wind was trying to drive me in a direction the road stubbornly refused to go.

I made it through the day. I'm still amazed by this officers' shooting..... a few weeks ago, she shot 50%. Thursday, after two weeks of intensive training, she shot one target that did not count for score and shot barely over the required 80%. I really expected her to fail today. She shot 92%. Unbelievable. Completely inconsistant, but she qualified.
Now I've just enjoyed a large slice of pizza and I'm ready to relax for the evening..... :waving:

I was lied to! No solo the director said. Guess who closes out the show with a 'take em to church gospel' number? If you guessed me then you're right. Shew Lord.....
I hope she is having an 'on' day if ever I get taken histage in Arkansas. Despite the weight I've lost, I'm Still NOT a challenging target!
I've said for years about being out with law enforcement that I am not a challenging target, you get no extra points for me, shoot at the Small people!
I'm glad she passed though, Bob!

I made it through the day. I'm still amazed by this officers' shooting..... a few weeks ago, she shot 50%. Thursday, after two weeks of intensive training, she shot one target that did not count for score and shot barely over the required 80%. I really expected her to fail today. She shot 92%. Unbelievable. Completely inconsistant, but she qualified.

Dealing with some kind of sinus infection that is hanging on like crazy. My left eye and around the cheek bone on that side are in major pain tonight. It almost feels like I have a headache radiating from behind that eye. Please say a prayer!!
Taco: I know the feeling. :-\
In other news: Went to work, came home, went to work, came home.
At first break I looked at the vending machines and a little voice in my head said, "You're going to pay 75 cents for THAT?! You have chocolate oatmeal cookies at home!" So at lunch break I went home and got some really good cookies. All cookies are now gone and I have eaten way too much sugar tonight.

John, If you're taken hostage in Arkasas, it'll be by 1) the police officer that you keep promising to meet one day, but haven't yet or 2) a female. Either way, this lady is not the officer you want coming to rescue you. :laughhard:
Back at work on a rainy day that is "hump day" for me.....I'm back to livin' for the weekend. :biglaugh:
:hi: It's supposed to rain today... 80% chance. I hope they are right, we need it but I'd rather be home in bed. :yawn:

Yay. I was the first at something. :lol: Oh wait, I just blew the anonymous part, didn't I? :-?
lol no you didn't....I don't know what your specific answers are...I've already had a few more men take it lol....
I'm all tore up today about those that are still where I used to be. It's not enough that I was delivered. I pray God would bless my prayers like He did the fish & loaves cause I feel like I'm one of very few that are praying about this. My prayers are not enough & yet it's God that does great things out of little prayers, right?
Goodness be still my heart.
*Psalm_97 wanders in, looks around fuzzily and slumps on the sofa.
Overtime rocks, but it sure cuts into other stuff. It's voluntary overtime though, so it's my choice.
laundry day. hooray!! ok maybe not so much......
and in the last week i've had 5 people tell me i'd be a good mom. :noo: no thanks. i'm good with my 2 cats and pup!!
I've had a few people tell me I should open a bakery too. Same reaction: :noo:
cows, cows, bleach, more cows, towels, broken dryer door that is now propped up with a piece of pipe, cow manure, more cows, chasing cows, more bleach.
Yeah..just another day at "Drama Dairy"....my job is a real camel...
Ok. Now I'm just feeling fiesty. Lol
Yes, I noticed that in the other thread. :roll:
So found out this morning it isn't just the fact that my sinuses are full that is hurting, the sinus passages on that side are swollen almost shut. Please pray this goes away quickly! Feels like my left eye is about to pop out.
Perhaps if you just pop it out to relieve the pressure then put it back later. :smirk2:
:o
Now, mind you, I'm not a doctor, but I have performed a variety of medical procedures on birds.
Bloomington is becoming highly unsettled and unsafe lately....
Recently, a pizza delivery guy or somebody from a pizza place on the south side, was shot and killed by someone trying to break in a car, the crook followed him into the store or something and shot him.... They got the guy, I forget if he turned himself in or what the deal was....
Yesterday a bank on the west side was robbed by a guy with a knife. The police got him in the parking lot.
Today, a bank on the east side was robbed. They didn't catch that crook so far I don't guess.
Last night I guess it was, a clerk at the adult entertainment store was stabbed to death by some guy, who later turned himself in.
I'm gonna just hide in the henhouse, if anybody needs me, cluck real loud.

If I thought it would help and work properly when reinstalled I would try it tonight. That said the swelling is putting pressure on the nerves behind the eye and causing the pain. Got shots and meds maybe it will go down by morning. Just in time for a trip to the dentist. lol
Gosh, you lead such a wonderfully exciting life.
Lady Melodya,
I taught and preached from there Sunday, beginning with John 6 and on the theme of "gather the fragments"
Do y'all have church on Christmas Day, Lady Melodya?

Blah.
I agree.
I'm glad you all see things my way now. :P

Everyone at work is cranky today. I'm blaming the rain.
Wish I didn't have rehearsal so I could go to church. But I'm hoping we get out super quick because there will only be 3 of us.
:sing:
Blame in on the rain, yeah yeah.....
Gloomy grey outside. Boys doing schoolwork. Dinner in the crockpot. Now I need to fold laundry and do some other housework. But first... first, I think I need coffee. :) It's cold in here.
I tried to talk mom into giving K a day off school and coming to play games with us, but she's doing that responsible mom thing and said no. ;) Alas.
:beret:
She wouldn't let poor Kaitlyn *however you spell it*, join in any Shrewby games.... :sing:

Whoa, that takes me back. When I was a little kid my sister used to listen to that one album from that one group over and over and over and... I know all the verses to that song and it's not even my kind of music.
In other SHARING news: Went to work (last night,) came home, got a good night's sleep. I have a fresh batch of records from my music teacher, a whole lot of practice drills I can do on the piano and a few songs for which I really want to make a soundtrack.
Don't anybody say anything about being bored - I'll invite you over here to help run records to computer.
Hubby, dina, talia and I had yummy chick fil a for lunch. :fork:
You spelled it right, Cheese. I'm so proud of you. *sniff*
We don't have a Chick Fil A anywhere close. Weird. Everyone talks about them like they're... I dunno... as well known as Taco Bell or McD's or something. Apparently we're even more backwoodsy than I knew. ;)
:beret:
My first impression of Chic Fil A was "they need to learn how to cook chicken."
I tried one closer, and their service won me over.
I -love- their nuggets, chicken minis, and sweet tea. Their nuggets chicken strips leave much to be desired. I think their service is even better than their food.
Chik fil a is not super widespread around here. There is one in Bloomington in the mall. Other than that I think the next near one that I am aware of would be up around Indy..... At least that I know of offhand anyways.... And down south toward Louisville too... There may be other ones somewhere, I dunno.
Okay, looking on the website, there's apparently one on IU campus too....it says it's at the Library though..lol...strange, but okay. lol
Otherwise it does look to be the case that the next closest ones are up around Indy or down toward Louisville.

I was wondering about that the first time I read it, before your edit. I thought either you typed something you didn't mean to type, there were two people making this post... or you have multiple personalities and one of you hates the nuggets while the other one of you likes them.
I vote for the multiple personalities...
I am currently somewhat stressing my music computer. I have it making an ogg vorbis copy of my whole collection - modern, old gospel from records, christmas music, classical and comedy tracks, 4,588 audio files in all - to put on my music player, AND doing the same thing as mp3 to burn to data DVDs to send to friends.
Usually if you use this program to transcode one album or something it will give you an estimate of how much time it will take. Right now it won't even give an estimate. Almost like it's telling me go get a cup of coffee, read the paper, paint the house... it's gonna be a while.
An i5 processor is a wonderful thing though. It's not even getting warm.
It must be more of a southern thing. We have 3 in the town I work in. They used to be only in the malls and their slogan was "the taste worth shopping for" or something like that. I was glad when they opened stand alone stores with drive throughs. They have awesome chocolate shakes. They are all closed on Sundays.
Chick-Fil-A is HUGE down here. lol They're all over the place. and yes they are closed on Sunday's. Love that...also hate that haha.

Hey Bro.John!
Sounds like a faith booster.
Yes, we do have service that day. No sunday school though. Service will start @ 10:45. If we do end up being in town, you are welcome to lunch with us.
We have one service at 11 that day.

Don't feel bad, I have never had Chick Fil A and apparently they are based in the Southeast. I know they exist though cause I borrowed their restroom once on a long trip. I told someone recently I had never eaten there and they looked at me as if I had just grown to extra heads. Not sure what all the hype about Chick Fil A is, but the way some act I am beginning to think it is some kind of cult. lol
Cheeto.. You cannot go postal. You're not a postal worker. Just sayin'...
:shakes head at mini: We are not multiple personalities........... :)
Ahhh. I'm going to Thanksgiving at Cobden church this weekend. Should be interesting. :)
