Weigh in? I haven't stood on a scale since I worked at a job where they had a shipping scale. I weighed 209 at that time, with all my clothes and shoes on and a couple pounds of pocket stuff in my pockets.

I hate to think what I weigh now. And that's why I haven't stood on a scale since then, because I hate to think what I weigh now. :p

It did. Every one weigh in here in sharing 510... well, "in" and "10" rhyme here in southwest Tennessee. In places where they talk proper "10" would rhyme with "when." But everybody from this forum I've heard talking would pronounce "10" as rhyming with "pin."

The last thing I wanna do is weigh in. My scales are terrible liars, and in addition are just plain mean. And they've gotten my clothing into the act too. :sadbounce:

Morning, ya'll. Got a ton to do, wish I was at home cleaning things up, and my stomach feels icky. In other words- it's Monday.
 The iced coffee has quite a job this morning.

Yea I DEF ain't weighing in. :nono:

Came home from church last night, ate, took an hour 1/2 nap, did my homework, talked to a friend, then crashed.
Working. But Ima struggling to focus and I got 8 hours of sleep last night!

I didn't get 8 hours sleep and it has been nonstop today. Not just people I'd scheduled, but tons of paperwork. I think I'm nearly caught up now though. Got three more people to deal with today. And when I get home, while Lou cooks, I need to cut the yard and clean up the mess I've made over the past bit. Then, if I have time, I'll finish the paint job on the camper and rest for a couple days before the weekend and the church roof job..

@work waiting on Jeremy to get here. We carpool as much as we can to save on gas. His truck is a gas hog. :)

Good weekend with family. Just too short!

I had been whining about wanting some "new" books lately, but I don't like paying a whole bunch. Hastings ruined me. :) I found Thriftbooks online today, and they have free shipping for orders of $10 or more! *gasp* LOL.. I'm like "Let me make my list..." Plus you can save 15% on your first order on the website (WELCOME) and if you download the app, you can get 15% off your first order on there as well (APPWELCOME). Yeeesssssss. Now I feel like I need to just compile massive lists to slowly purchase over time and build a huge library!

I felt pretty on-focus today. I have an audit to be completed by Saturday for the State of IL Department of Labor. I've been working as exclusively as possible to get it finished ASAP. I'm finally almost done compiling all of the information, but I'll probably spend a majority of tomorrow entering the data into their online forms - I hope. I need to be finished by Wednesday end of day, because our CPA is coming Thursday to make an appearance or something. I'm afraid I'll be needing to provide some paperwork, so I'd like some time to do that as well. I am sooo thankful we have switched to only the one audit a year now with these new CPAs. I would have fainted if I had the IL DOL audit AND the mid-year audit at the same time. I would have to sleep here, haha.



btw.. Heather, I am so sorry for your loss. That's so much to handle. I'll be praying for you, and their families of course.

Caffeine, it no work no more. I need something stronger. What that would be, I don't know. I've already seen eleventy- billion people/problems, (Ok, that's an exaggeration, it was two people but their issues seemed like that many- I think I'll call them Legion One and Legion Two) and I WANNA GO HOME.
And in sharing Lou made some kind of incredibly good Philly cheesesteak Lasagna last night. I think it's what it was supposed to be. All I know is, it was stripped round steak like fajita meat, bell peppers, onions, lots of cheese, some kind of alfredo style sauce, and crescent rolls layers. One little bowl was possibly 10k calories, but it was all I ate yesterday and it totally filled me up.. Flippin' awesome. I'm gonna eat a bait of it for lunch, chased with one of my left over glass bottled Dr Peppers I have stashed in my desk drawer.
 
 And in relation to that- stashing a bottle of Dr Pepper back in my desk drawer...is that the equivalent of the drunk who stashed a flask of whiskey in a desk drawer for lunch? If so, I might have a problem...

Finishing up my leftover lasagna from Lazzari Italian Oven in Jonesboro, AR. If you are EVER in that area and you even slightly enjoy italian food - this restaurant is locally owned and operated. One of the owners goes to my old church. Their food is DIVINE. I feel like I should be sitting in an Italian grandmother's kitchen. LOL. My favorite meals there are the lasagna, minestrone soup, and of course, their bread is amazing as well, haha. We love it!


Commercial break over. ;)

I stash all kindsa snacks and soda in my desk here at work. If I didn't, I'm afraid someone would be hurt throughout the day.. :)

I'm reaaaaaally hoping we can fry some of the squash and zucchini that Papa gave us tonight. It sounds delicious. :)

Oh dear Lord. Now I have to find a chance to go to Jonesboro. I LOVE Italian food. You know, my uncle lives just an hour north of there, just across the state line in the boothill....may have to go see him soon. :fork:

I keep snacks stashed in my oversized purse. I can't keep anything at work because if its left here, 40+ people just assume it's up for dibs. My mom brought me cupcakes once. I left for a delivery, gone maybe 15 minutes, came back and they were all gone.

My body absolutely hates me this week. It's not its fault necessarily. This weather has my fibromyalgia alk out of sorts. I'm not sleeping really well either and that is making it even worse. It's a vicious cycle.....

I ate a frozen pizza for lunch today. It wasn't as good as the lasagna, but I love the pepperoni Totino's pizzas!

He appears to be his usual grumpy self. I chastised him for backsliding from GP and preached a powerful message of repentance to him, imploring him to come home, but I suspect he hardened his heart. I'm praying for God to send a vengeful goose to him, or anger Ferdinand the Bull into poking his hiney with a horn, causing him to seek us.

He changed his mind for yesterday saying we'd "do it tomorrow". Tomorrow is here, and he has taken off. Forget that mess. I won't be trying to help him again..

I'm amazed.  More than one post  from the sashaying Birdman of Bloomington. We are truly honored.

And in sharing it is hot as satan's living room today. Like 106 or better heat index.
We started around 530 am and quit around 1130 at the church.  Got all of the front side of the church roof completed...now to get the back side done.
I came home with the intention to  tinker with the Scotty,  but it is simply too hot. So I'm laying in the air conditioning.

Elona is having nerve issues in her back and so far has missed 4 days of work. I'm trying to figure out how to pay the bills.


If anyone has figured out how not to worry or to take no thought for tomorrow please fill me in!

Saw my wonderful Brother (We've just dropped the in-law) and his family.

My 4-year-old niece Emily plays this silly game with me, I have to ask her ''Do I get a Handshake or a Hug?''.

Well, last night she figured out we wouldn't see her again for awhile so she gave me more hugs than I think she ever has in one day.

Then Elona made me like a 40th Birthday yearbook/this is your life type thing we got everyone at my birthday party to sign it and when we see those who couldn't be there we get them to sign it.

My oldest nephew Isaac signed it

''Isaac!

I'm going to really miss you UNCLE JASON!!!!!!
xoxoxoxoxoxo''


It breaks my heart we only see them once or twice a year.

I've got to see my newest nephew Burrito Jr. next!

Well. I am totally surprised. I was very skeptical about the chiropractor. Especially  after he spent an hour telling me what he planned o do, all with machines. He took all kinds of xrays, determined that "C2" was out of alignment by a fraction, adjusted his table around, took some kind of machine and positioned it at the base of my skull area. He pushed a button, the machine applied a little pressure quickly- not even a tap, really. No idea how THAT was supposed to help my LOWER back. But it did!
I got up and instantly had no more lower back pain. Y'all, that is amazing. He took another xray and showed me the two, and you could see a marked difference in the alignment. I'd have thought it was all mental had it not been for this and the noticeable relief.
 It's even helped with my sciatic pain I've suffered with for years. I'm amazed.

And Bobby, what is this about computers and machines? I thought they did those adjustments with their hands. Are you telling me a modern chiropractor is basically a C&C machine operator?

Eating a banana and drinking apple juice.

Trying to convince myself to get thru today and be productive so that I can actually enjoy some time off tomorrow. I still have church books to work on, but I can do those in my jammies! LOL..


Our boy cat escaped again on Saturday night/Sunday Morning. Jeremy found him laying by our a/c. He's fine, but his sister is sooooooo mad at him. She isn't ever violent, in fact, she barely defends herself when he picks on her. She's been hissing at him and even just randomly walked by and smacked him (he was sleeping ATM). Last night things seem to have calmed down some. I don't think I heard any hissing, haha. I guess if/when we move into the country, I'm going to have to get a cat door on our main door so that he can come and go as he pleases since he does not want to be 100% indoor, haha. Funny thing is, I think he regrets it as soon as he gets outside, but since his escape route was the window, he can't get back in. So hopefully the door will help (when we move). Right now we live right by a 4-way stop. How these cats have never gotten killed on their runaway "adventures" is beyond me. Those people race thru those streets and stop sign.

The problem with a mid day nap and a sauna is that many employers have slugs like me that would find it difficult to leave said nap/sauna and return to work. And, since I am a bear when I first get up, it would mean that my coworkers would be forced to suffer from TWO grumpy-morning-instances a day with me. Truthfully, that's inhumane.

If you get to work an 1+ hours early, you should not still be at work 1+ hours later than your normal off-time. Holidays in the middle of the week really put a strain on my sanity, haha.

Wednesdays are our normal payroll days. So I'm doing payroll today (along with trying to get things done that are needing to be ready on Thursday). It's just not working well. LOL. I'm ready for supper and home!!

Holidays that fall in the middle of the week throw me off. I'd much rather the holidays be on Mondays or Friday's so we can have 3-day weekend. Alas July 4th is always a weird holiday anyway so I'm "at work working"....getting that holiday OT. Especially since my new almost $3 raise went thru July 1st! Holiday OT at a new rate....as I "work" from home. I'll take it!

:hypocrite: :clap:

I've already listened to an entire cd, watered the garden, cleaned the kitchen, checked email, replied to a few emails, and made & ate breakfast! It's only 9:13. I'm not even awake on a normal work-day at this time! HA

I got called into work last night 5-9 [after having dental work. my face was still numb..] then had to be back 7 am to 4 today. No time and half but I got 8 hrs holiday pay on top of my 8 hours there so not too bad.

Brandon and I went to our friends new house for a mini-cookout and to see if we could see the big fireworks from there house. We could!! No traffic! No portopotties! No obnoxious kids! It was great!!

Off to sleep. Back to work at 7 am tomorrow.

I don't think many people fired off their fireworks here. About 8:30pm it started raining, then it lightninged and thundered and then it hailed and rained a lot more and I don't know what else because I was in bed trying to ignore it.

So my dog wasn't cowering in the corner of the carport nearest the kitchen door because of fireworks going off. He was cowering in that corner because of lightning. But at least he got his quota of cowering in for the day. He always spends the night on July 4th cowering.

We stayed around the house and watched the fireworks last night.  Our city has a lake in the middle of town, and we sat at the water's edge and watched them fire off over the water.

Being a slug, I did not watch fireworks. I did get to have a little fun when my daughter was returning from the next door neighbors house, who shoot off a ton of fireworks. I was tinkering with the Scotty camper, getting ready to lock it up for the night since it was dark, when I hear Chey and her little friends discussing their plan to scare me and Lou by luring us out of the house and throwing snap poppers at us when we came out. They were headed our way, chattering away about how fun it would be to see our faces and taking bets on whether we would pee our pants.
I hid next to the camper in the dark and when three little girls rounded the corner, the tables were turned. I jumped out and roared at them, and they had a runaway. Sounded worse than any tornado siren. Now, whose pants are wet smarty pants? :lol:

And I'm back at work on a day that feels like it should be a Saturday, but is shaping up to be my second Monday of the week. :pound:

I watched zero fireworks, but I have heard them for the past 24 hours. I thought they weren't ever going to stop last night. I'm very thankful I can go to sleep without much issue or I would've been that cranky person calling the police, haha. It was after 11pm. City fireworks had been done for an hour and a half.

I did some laundry. I read a book. I watched a couple of episodes of some shows. I should've done some bookwork, but I felt like I should observe the holiday, haha.

I'm SO excited that in two days, I get to sleep in AGAIN! It's like my brain knows that I cherish those mornings, so instead of waking up at 5:30 like normal, I have been allowed to roll over and keep sleeping until around 8. I even woke up at mom & dad's at 9am that last weekend! Outrageous! But I'll take it!

Hey, we all have anti people days. Mine and Seth's are just, um, more frequent than others. :lol:

I slept in for the first time in weeks. Then went over and helped Bro Wilson with Fred the '52. I then came home and picked up the limbs that had blown down in yesterday's storm. It was warm today... Tinkered a bit more with the camper too. We are repainting the interior. I'm using the leftover paint from other projects- white left over from an old house project, the interior doors and trim a shade of turquoise/teal left over from the teardrop interior...leftover laminate flooring from the house remodel.
A bit of work but we should be able to complete the interior remodel for less than a couple hundred dollars including the a/c install.  Meanwhile I am also cleaning out the rv port so I can store it properly out of the weather.
 I told a friend I am tempted to look for a v8 or v6 and overdrive transmission to put in the Studebaker and use it as a tow vehicle. Rusty does well, but the older Chey gets, the less room in his tiny cab..

Diet and exercise Bobby, diet and exercise. Are you getting your exercise?

My job is perfectly placed I think. It is far enough away to make the trip an actual workout, but not far enough away to make it terrible. If I had to bike a circuit around local streets every day for exercise I would get really bored with it and not keep it up very long. Same for a treadmill or any other repetitive exercise routine. But biking to work I get exercise and save gas too.

Bobby I know your job is much too far to bike to work. Is there any change you can make in your day that could add some exercise? Even just a little?

I actually get exercise. My biggest problem is old habits...Sit in recliner and either sleep or eat. And after 6 pm or so, eating is NOT what I need to do. And that Dr Pepper- well, one small Dr Pepper is not bad occasionally. My problem is the frequency I drink them. I know what I have to do. Did it before, a couple years ago. I just let my guard down. I'm getting back on the straight and narrow.

I'm making my strawberry cobbler tonight if we get home from work with enough time, haha. Gotta get those strawberries cleaned and cut before they go bad.

I've had the worst anxiety in the last few days. After crying (again) at work, I reached out to my pastor's wife and Lord am i lucky to have her in my life. It's a season in life where my job is to just be and i dont do that well. For over a decade my life is going after achievement after achievement (work, school, taking care of dad, marriage, etc). I need to learn to be content. Now granted I'm saying this now after a very good cry so we will see how good my perspective is tomorrow. Lol.

Anecdotal story on the topic of roofs.  Long story short, end of last year I had the Amish (had to hire them, not kidnap them) build a porch on the front and drive thru canopy on the back of the church.  That was done December and January....  After it was done there was a bit of a leak in one area of the roof where everything joined together....  They came back and tried to seal some stuff up and it made a difference but didn't totally fix it. 

So, anyways....I had originally hoped I was going to get more time out of the old roof, but on the old part of the building it was 20 years old and the addition was 18.... 

So I ended up finally calling a roofing place to have them look at it and see what they thought.  When he inspected it, he said it had hail damage so I ought to just file an insurance claim.  So that's what I did, and so insurance is replacing the roof and gutters on all the old part of the building (not the new stuff the Amish built which is still essentially brand new and is alright). 

So that's in the process, they may do the roof next week possibly.

Four years ago we had our roof replaced because of hail damage. For some reason, they replaced our metal front entrance and backdoor that wasn't damaged. Yet they refused to replace the awning over the front door that was.

I like the new roof/entryway.
 Those poor Amish had no idea how much danger they were in, being that close proximity to you. You were probably just "casing the area" and getting an idea of their schedule so you could snatch one later.

Morning all. Not a lot of time as usual. Was awakened 30 minutes early with a call from my boss regarding one of my parolees who had absconded. Had to come in early. And today's court, so I might be in and out...:pound:

I actually brought one home on lunch break one day to look at some projects at home and said I wanted to have them do them...  They had various jobs lined up already so it was going to be later on....I'm probably going to have to call them back and make sure they remember me.

Made it though the day. Back pain has let up a bit. I soaked for about an hour since Lou and Chey went to her moms.  Went out and put a intake vent into the side of the Scotty for the air conditioner. That was scary, cutting a hole into the side of it, but it came out ok.

The secret is to never stop moving. If you stop moving the breeze you get from motion stops blowing. Keep moving and moving fast and you'll always have a breeze to cool off.

When I'm biking home from w*rk I'm okay as long as I keep moving. If I ever stop moving I am instantly sopping wet.

My cow*rkers comment a lot about "You're riding a bike in this heat?!" I tell them to just be glad that I ride to w*rk in the morning when it is cooler, and I ride home in the afternoon when it is hotter. When I get home I smell a lot worse than when I get to w*rk.

As a friend recently said " It's hotter than Hell's gate hinges here".  I slept in today (Lou had to work) and got up around 11. Went outside and cleaned up the driveway where I've been working on the camper, moved the teardrop deeper into the rv port as I haven't had time to cart it over to it's next home, then moved the camper over in front of it. Worked up quite the sweat just doing that.

Well no wonder! You do outside work in the MORNING when it's not so hot. Then you take a siesta.

Early to bed and early to rise...

Post by: Roscoe on July 16, 2018, 01:59:33 PM
And good morning all. And What Mini said, Taco.

 I have a praise report. * Warning, long**
As y'all know Lou had surgery recently and was off of work. Her job provides a short term disability benefit, but it is very meager- like a third of her pay after taxes and insurance is taken out. We were around a $2k to $2500 loss in income. And let me tell you, even if you are careful and have a rainy day fund, it hurts. Of at least it did at our house. I was prepared for a couple of rainy days, not the equivalent of "Noah build the ark one more time". And the timing- poor. Chey's tuition, insurance, everything BIG hit. I compounded stupidity,by buying the scotty camper from savings, thinking that Lou wouldn't be without pay that long.. Mistake.
It got tight, and I did some juggling. Not bankrupt, but it hurt. I had told Lou and Bro Wilson both that there was a possibility our offerings would be down a bit, as well as our tithe.  Bro Wilson said he understood.
Come time to write the tithe and offering check, I couldn't do it. I made it for the normal amount- both tithe and offering. Our church is small and I knew that it was needed, and I also knew if I stayed faithful He would be too.
Yesterday's lesson in Sunday School was on "The Ministry of Giving". We had an impromptu round of testimony/sharing afterwards.
I shared all of this, along with the fact that we had received monetary blessing in the past month- an insurance premium refund, although small , helpful- A refund for our escrow account being overfunded and a lower payment on the house, a debt repaid at precisely the right time.
Now I have to set the stage for the next bit- our job with the state has provided for years a merit pay based on performance evaluation and money available. Depending on the available state funds, and your performance evaluation, you typically get 1 to 3% of your base salary in a lump sum in July.
They changed things this year. Instead of a lump sum, you get the percentage hourly on your check, which means an extra $10 or $15 bucks a pay period. Now, it is important to note that I am blessed to be maxxed out. that means I don't get pay raises, ect. And when you make $15k more than your coworker, and $10k more than your boss, it's poor form to complain. :lol:

I anticipated no raise. No bonus. Especially since we usually get it the FIRST check in July. Then I was told that maxxed out folks *might get a small bonus*. I claimed it during my testimony at church yesterday, thinking I'd be lucky to get $200 after taxes.
Folks, I got my check stub from our payroll clerk this morning. She brought it to me without me asking. After taxes, God gave me a $924 bonus!!! IT could NOT have came at a better time. I nearly broke down crying and wanting to shout, and you can bet I called Bro Wilson. And you can also bet my tithe and offering  will reflect it this week!

Do you take an allergy pill every day?
Also, if you're taking pain meds on the regular for it you could just be giving yourself a rebound headache.

I went from having a headache almost daily to 1-3 a month. I was giving myself rebound headaches from taking over the counter meds. Been seeing a neurologist for over a year now and these are things I know! lol

But I'm a Texan also - an allergy pill on the regular is necessary. :roll:

Poopady? They must have changed the lyrics of that song since I was a child. I thought the original song had more zip in it.

And Bobby, glad to hear that.

I have no highs or lows to report today. Everything is pretty much on an even keel. The worst thing that has happened to me lately is it was raining yesterday morning so I couldn't ride my bike to w*rk. The best thing recently was I ate a large amount of buttermilk pie.

ARGH!!! Ok, I'm going to tell on Lou. One day a week or two ago she fried something. Chicken, squash, green tomatoes- I don't know exactly what because I normally don't eat things like that. (With the exception of chicken). I have a large plastic canister with self-rising flour stored in it. A few days ago, I am starving for a buttermilk pie, so I thaw out a pie crust- yes, I'm lazy and use store-bought- and mix up a pie. While baking I notice it doesn't smell quite right. I taste it after it has baked.
I spit it all over. My loving wife had brainlessly poured her salty seasoned fried foods coating flour BACK into my pristine self rising flour. Stupid pies tasted like fried chicken and buttermilk pie combined, which combination does NOT work.
 I have now banned her from my flour canister.

Morning, all. Back at stupid work.

Post by: Lynx on July 17, 2018, 01:56:20 PM
Well I just got the recipe Sunday morning, so I whipped up a batch Sunday afternoon after church. I didn't bother with pie shells though, I just cooked the mixture in the mixing bowl to see what would happen. The mixture was supposed to make two pies... somewhere around late Sunday night I realized I had eaten half the bowl of buttermilk pie filling. That is enough for a whole pie!

Today I am trying to be really good and avoid sugar as much as possible. My body probably needs the break from sugar.

It's kinda stormy out right now. Was absolutely beautiful, although very hot until a few ago. I ran an alternator I'd ordered online over to Lou's grandpa, who is one of the best men you'd ever meet, and just generally had a good time in Rusty. I came back and parked Rusty in the carport, since Lou is gone and the carport was empty.

Sipping a Pepsi. It's finally Friday..

Jeremy's truck won't turn over again. Hoping it's just the distributor cap again, so we bought a new one, but we also brought the cleaning products to try to clean the "old" one. Since we carpool to my work, his truck is here at my workplace. So I have to wait 2 hours after close-of-business for him to get here and hopefully repair it. Hoping it works because I have a baby shower I RSVP'd for tomorrow and I'd like to go! If he doesn't get it working, I'll have to politely decline since he will have our only car. It'll be okay either way, haha.


It's supposed to storm today, but it LOOKED like it would storm last night and didn't. First Alert Day here today tho, so maybe they actually expect the storms this time. I wouldn't mind if they didn't come. I don't mind rain showers, but storms aren't that friendly. haha..


We filed a claim on our roof yesterday morning. The second guy we had come inspect the roof and quote us a replacement sent us pictures of hail damage. We feel that since we've been paying in 6 years of premiums that they should at least  HELP pay for the replacement. It's ridiculous how hard it has been to get anywhere with these insurance folks. Jeremy tried before to get them to help and just got the run-around. I've been praying for favor with them, so I know God can make a way when I don't see one!

Insurance companies are notorious for that. I will say the last time we had to deal with Homeowner's insurance it was mostly positive...but that was 12 years ago. I still get bent by the whole "pro-rated" thing too, where they depreciate the value based on years, ect. It should be simple- I pay you x amount of dollars for insurance. You, a gambler, have taken the odds that I will have no issues. Therefore when your hand is poor and I have damage, just pay for the damage, ok? The deck is already stacked in your favor... But no, they have to tilt it even more in their direction.

Morning all. Woke up, considered calling in, only to discover a coworker had beat me to it. So I'm here. Not pleased either. I don't have anyone scheduled though, so it will be mainly an office day.

And FWIW- Sleeping alone and being without Chey and Lou is for the birds. I will admit it is rather peaceful though...

Good afternoon, everyone!  I managed to sleep late.  Hubby passed out again during the night.  He's been having a lot of medical issues that are concerning and nobody can figure out.  I really believe we will be in better health if we move from this island to where we can find healthier food to eat, but he has such an amazing primary care doctor that I hate to leave her.  The va in general is a roll of the dice, so I am concerned that if we move he will have a crappy doctor at the next va that doesn't care at all and just blows off all of his issues.  So we really need some prayer in making the right decision on where to live.  I wish we weren't dependent on the va for his care, but for now that's where we are.  He has a review in 2020, and if it goes well and he is rated as total and permanent, then he will be able to go to civilian doctors without the fear of the va decreasing his ratings.  It would be so nice to be able to choose the doctors we see. 

Also, please pray that his unit will stop jerking around and medboard him like they should have done after deployment in 2011.  He should not have stayed in the military if he had a va rating and was unable to continue his work in the military, but they are continuously blowing him off because they don't want to do the paperwork.  A medical retirement as opposed to an ets would really be a blessing for us.

I wondered how things were going, Ashlee. The VA can be troublesome at best. :( My husband doesn't like going to his clinic because he doesn't understand his doctor very well. They do just blow you off quite a bit. I'm not sure if it's because they don't care, or because the communication issue is so large. If we don't understand what is being said, we cannot quite fight back on what he's choosing. We will pray for your decision making and that you will be granted favor!


Jeremy's truck died Thursday.. and his try to fix it did not work. We will have to get it towed or something to the local automotive place we use, and hopefully they can figure out what's wrong with it. That truck is quickly becoming the bane of my existence. When it runs, it's a great truck (still with problems). But when it dies, it does it all of the sudden and with random symptoms, haha. We will have to wait until he gets paid Friday to either have it looked at or pay for it to have been looked at. I do appreciate doing business with people I trust and who know us, because that helps with that situation some. They will often let us pay them a little differently/later than others would have.


I'm starving for breakfast this morning. I can't decide if I should just jump off the deep end and eat the chips I'm craving, or try for a granola first, haha.

So I had breakfast donuts. Worked a little. Took a birthday nap. Made nachos from the leftover taco party food from the weekend and had a slice of sopapilla cheesecake. Now I'm sitting here again wishing I was napping all over again.

Morning. It is beautiful today- around 70 degrees and sunny. I REALLY wanted to blow off the whole work thing and just disappear for the day. But, I was responsible and came to work- mainly because I am taking off Friday for Chey's birthday. She is wanting to go camping so we are going to spend Friday trying to find the perfect campsite and leave when Lou gets off of work.

Made it through a rough day. Started off with a call from the second in command of my agency///never a good thing. It seems like at some point we- myself and another officer- missed a warrant an offender had. Fortunately, my boss says no issues.
 Then it was busy. Like nonstop. But I survived, came home and put laminate floor down in the camper. Nearly ready for the first trip...

@ Work, again.

Insurance adjuster "did some research" and found that the last time we had 1.5" hail was in March 2012. Apparently it takes 1.5" hail to cause damage to a roof. I wish someone would let my roof in on that secret.  :noo:  So anyway, they're going to get a guy to come out and inspect it (cause the adjuster was too scared to go on the roof - his words) to make sure that the damage is from March 2012 and NOT later. If they still say the same thing, we have to contact our former insurance and fight with them. I'm curious how in the world they'll know when the hail damage occurred. As far as I know, hail doesn't provide date stamps when they hit. Ugh. Glad when that's over.

Still no movement on the truck issue. I need to just call a tow truck or something I think instead of trying to figure out when everyone can get together to get it on a trailer. Work has been busy and I don't want to inconvenience my bosses/friends with my stuff.


Lemon Oreos are yummy.. especially when they've gotten soft. I love them that way!

I agree about soft cookies.

Last night I took Grandma shopping. Aldi in Corinth MS is now open so we went there to get better stuff for less money. They have a knock-off "fig bars" that tastes better than the real fig newtons, and some thin-mint cookie knock-offs that are available when Girl Scout cookies are not.

Did I mention it was last night that we went to Aldi? There are very few cookies left in the thin-mint cookie pack, and I might finish them in a few minutes.

:hypocrite:
Question #4 is phrased vaguely. It is unclear whether "yes" indicates the survey participant cares about cost or purchases regardless. If the former, then "no" and "Purchase regardless of price" seem redundant, as they indicate the same choice.

Question #5 seems to have a bug, not your fault - it seems to be a bug in the web based survey system. If you play around with the choices enough, selecting one choice will sometimes clear a seemingly random other choice for no apparent reason.

Question #7 is vague. What are the suggested brands, and who is suggesting them? How do I know if I buy brands other than the suggested brands?

I have no idea if you even wanted review commentary about the survey. But I'm a nerd so these discrepancies stood out, so I mention them in case the information will be useful to you.

Another clue that your wife is smarter than you and you married out of your league!

I and Elona are opposite... She ''loves crunchy'' (yet she soaks them in milk till they're soft). Soft and chewy are best! This is one of the very few flaws I can find in that woman... I married an all-star and I'm a bat-boy in training!

PLEASE PRAY! We need some real prayer backup right now, there are big things going on that GOD is working for our good. In JESUS name I'll be taking over an established business I can work from home or anywhere. I can't go into details yet, but it has the potential not only as a business but a ministry that would allow us to help others in major ways. Keep us in prayer!

I know that's vague but GOD knows the details, the vision we have and has opened a major door we never dreamed of.


Ephesians 3:20
Now unto him, that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

I never imagined GOD would open a door for me to be involved in an industry I love. My GOD is bigger than I can imagine or dream!

A heart that's contented a satisfied mind, these are the treasures your money can't buy.  But if you have Jesus there's more wealth in your soul, than acres of diamonds, and mountains of gold.

Let thieves steal your diamonds, your gold melt away, rivers of silver flow to the sea.   Just hold onto Jesus for in heaven we know there's acres of diamonds and the streets are pure gold.

At the dinner:

1) NO FRIED CHICKEN!  You can miss out on it for one day in honor of me.
2) NO DR PEPPER! Same thing as above.
3) You can have all the lasagna you want. *yuck*  Same thing only in reverse.

At the memorial:

4) Dont put the 23rd Psalm on the pamphlet.  It is NOT a funeral psalm to me.

And for the newest one:

5) On my tombstone, please write: "Not appreciating my puns was a grave mistake."

FINALLY getting to eat some of this pork that Jeremy smoked yesterday for an ENTIRE day. LOL. I had a little half sandwich last night to taste it, but this is my first actual meal. When he asked if I wanted him to smoke a pork b--- or a chicken, I was under the assumption that I would be eating it for lunch, but I was wrong. It was like.. 8pm before it was ready, haha.


It's a bit rainy/dreary here today, BUT I'm inside and not getting rained on, so I'm good. I would appreciate a nap time, but those are frowned upon for adults at workplaces, haha. I need MJJ to sneak one in for me instead.

Wow!! I wish I could find the DVD to this instead of just the audio. I feel like our whole church needs to hear this message!

Morning, all. Back at work, fortified by a large cup of coffee. Truly, the Lord was gracious when he allowed man to refine the process of making a morning beverage from these holy beans....

Wow!! I wish I could find the DVD to this instead of just the audio. I feel like our whole church needs to hear this message!

If you have kids, grandkids, work in children's ministry, have any interaction with kids.. what a message to listen to! It hit me in the gut as a sometimes tired, discouraged Sunday School teacher!

I tried to find a link, but if you can find one that he preaches from general conference 2006 called "Something on Layaway" do it.  It was powerful enough that I had our church watch it.

I looked online for that and can't find it. I'm surprised it's not on youtube since some of the other GC 2006 sermons were. I saw a comment on one video asking if anyone knew where that message was as well, haha. Sounds like it really WAS a good one!

I thought the same... especially since I wasn't aware that PPH could claim it anyway. It's not their service, not their preacher, not their material. If anyone, I would believe the preacher should be able to claim it, haha. I guess the only way they could is if it was their camera/film that recorded it. Maybe that's the case!

They emailed me back and gave me a link to purchase the backordered DVD for $15. I sat there shocked at that cost.. maybe I'm wrong for that, I'm not sure.. but I'd hope that at least is free shipping, haha.
Title: Re: Every one weigh in here in sharing 510!!!
Post by: MsJennJenn on August 01, 2018, 06:15:17 PM
That is weird. I wonder what gives them the right to copyright that particular service?

I wonder if it was hosted by PPH and they didn't "air it" live. So like you are "stealing" in essence by recording the service with your own phone/video. So you had to purchase the DVD in order to hear it.

Kind of like how it's "illegal" to go into the theater and video the movie you're watching and then put it out there for people to watch ahead of it's intended DVD time.

Digital ethics are SUPER tricky these days with the influx and increasingly smart digital age.
I'm getting quickly knowledgeable about this kind of thing. As it plays a huge part in marketing.
Marketing ethics was the only class I've made a B in. :sadbounce:

Marketing ethics is a very fluid and ever shifting topic. Not only is it understandable you make a low grade in that class, it might actually be a good sign about your character.
Title: Re: Every one weigh in here in sharing 510!!!
Post by: MsJennJenn on August 01, 2018, 08:28:09 PM
True that. All I meant is that marketing ethics has gotten harder due to the digital age. It's a lot easier to steal, borrow, copy, whatever someone else's work. Without giving credit.

Not as easy or as fact-checking as it once was.

People have no morals anymore because they don't trust God will take care of them. We're in a very selfish time.

My parents are having another "surprise" visit this Sunday for Jeremy's birthday. I have always preferred to have 1-2 weeks notice so that my house can be in super great shape for visitors. Instead now I'm going to be cleaning all night and tomorrow and tomorrow night! I love them, but they make me nervous when the visit all of the sudden! hahaha.. It'll be worth the work tho!

We are going to take them to one of the local peach orchards for peaches and cream. YUM! Jeremy gets to pick the restaurant for his birthday dinner. I'm hoping he picks somewhere good, haha.

Beautiful day here. Yesterday was too, although it was hot. I spent most of the day working on my yard. Hauling brush (3 trailer loads!) , a trailer load of scrap metal, and a lot of weedeating, grass cutting.
It amazes me 1) how much stuff accumulates and 2) how much work it is to keep a house and lawn nice looking. I haven't even worked on the flowerbeds much or replaced the dead flowers who gave up from the heat....

GOD answered 2 prayers for us yesterday. My wife had several health issues over the last 2 months that caused her to miss work. Then her vacation pay got messed up. I asked some on here to pray for provision because we had no clue what to do after paying medical bills for both of us then this. Saturday my pastor told my wife a minister felt led to take an offering for us, and when she got it yesterday it was almost to the penny what she missed at work and her vacation pay that got messed up.

Then, we somehow got a case of the flu in July/August. Yesterday it hit me like a train wreck. I had chills and shakes so bad I was shaking the floor around the bed. I almost went to the er several times. After my wife went to bed it got so bad it felt (and feels) like a rib cracked. I couldn't get my voice loud enough to call my wife and I thought about calling an ambulance. Instead, I began to pray put a small prayer cloth on my head the Spanish pastor gave me and just began agreeing with the prayers they prayed. I began to sweat like a pig in a smoker. I feel better right now than I have in a month!!!

Praise GOD!

I've watched houses here and in Alabama go from dream homes to not even being able to see the house when people walk off and leave them. There is a video that goes through baseball and football stadiums 6-12 months after they were closed. It's amazing how fast nature reclaims an area. Even in the desert... I was reading where a wind storm in the Sahara uncovered a city no one in living memory knew was there.

My parents came yesterday and spent most of the day with us. I love seeing them. They make me feel safe! We got to eat lunch, have peach smoothies, and laugh about random stuff. They just make my heart smile.

We got the report back about our roof today. The insurance is saying there isn't any hail damage, so I have about a week to figure out what to do with the situation before they non-renew us. Probably going to have to get the roofer guy to schedule us for later in his schedule and then write a letter to the insurance telling them we have contracted him to fix it, so that they will renew us for now and then we send in proof that we actually fixed it when it's complete. Hoping this all can go smoothly and the money will be there. What they call "adulting" stinks, haha.

In GOOD news, Jeremy's truck is now fixed. We could've fixed it for the part ourselves, but we weren't convinced that was the issue. Like.. we literally bought the replacement part and had it in my car to put on, but Jeremy tried to clean the old one and when that didn't fix it, he didn't think it was the problem. Our friends took it down to that shop on a trailer (saved $100 on towing!) and they fixed it before noon today! So for about $100, I now can leave work on time.. and sleep an extra hour and a half in the mornings! WOOO! :) I was allowing for much more than that in our budget just because his truck has tended to be on the expensive side of repairs. I will be jumping for joy when we can finally get a different vehicle for him to drive to work.. one with less issues! haha

I put it in the crockpot this morning with potatoes and two cans of French onion soup. When I came in, I cooked a couple cups of rice, and served the meat and potatoes over rice. It was delish.

And Isaac, the cobbler is fruit. Therefore it must have SOME health benefits. The ice cream was just a demonstration of how far I was going off the healthy eating wagon.
And re:roof- the metal roof we recently did was the best thing we could've done. Now I need to replace the gutters or at least do something about them. A storm took down the front gutters years ago and I never replaced them.

I'm sorry. All hades broke loose and off I went trying to contain it.
 I spent today doing something I didn't plan to do.
And I blame mini.
And I got the worse end of the trade deal too.
I traded my Corvette off. For a jeep wrangler very much like mini's.  I'm sure I over paid for the jeep and undersold the Corvette and have been battling buyers remorse. But I've always wanted a jeep and I was tired of the vette. And the whole family can ride in the jeep.
I made it all the way home before the jeep bit at my wallet. The drivers side brake caliper stuck on it as I pulled in. Stupid thing.
 

When I got home from taking lou to Russellville, the caliper was unstuck. And it has cool blue dash lights.

But he would have gotten the same amount of money either way... just on one he didn't have to do the legwork of taking the cash from mini and applying it to the jeep (which may or may not have happened...lol)

But you didn't offer what I actually got for the vette. In fact,you dropped your offer by a grand as soon as you thought I might actually  sell it. Lol
And yes, I traded for the jeep. Very happy today. No issues with the brake, and I put the top on it, but left the windows and doors off of it. I've had fun with it today.

No.  I dropped it by $500.

But luckily for me and you, the dealer had good sense to call you back with a better offer.  I would have been killed if chelleebelle found out I bought your vette.

No buyers remorse now. We went out last night. Four hours of backroads listening my wife, daughter and niece laugh and chatter,then we got to go by my "second mama''s" house. Miss Hattie is a black lady of around 77 years old who was my mama's best friend and who has been my rock. She loved the jeep and went to Sonic with us to get ice cream.  I should've bought this thing ten years ago.
Now its Sunday and I am lazy. Just now woke up.

My dream car is a Jeep.

Brandon and I are walking more and doing low carb. He's lost around 10 pounds and I've lost around 3-4. We are joining the gym 2 blocks from home on Thursday.

I had a job opportunity fall into my lap over the weekend. I went to put in my resume today and got an interview on the spot. I go Friday for what's called a "working" interview. It's pretty much so the other employees get to know me and say yay or nay. It's a vet tech position at a different animal hospital than the one I worked at previously. However, one of my favorite doctors from that clinic is now there and that's how I heard about the job. They even do education reimbursment so I could feasibly get a degree and my licensing.

Brandon goes back to grad school in 2 weeks.

Heather, having wanted one for years, I can say now, buy one as soon as you can figure out a way. I wish I'd bought one years ago. We've driven it every day since we bought it, sometimes going somewhere just so we could. :lol: .
And in sharing, I made it through today without eating a cow. Dinner was a broiled pork chop with a small amount of bbq sauce, greenbeans, and a spoon full of hamburger helper. According to S-fit on my phone, I came in around 1200 calories today. And I am as full as I can be. Fixing to shower and call it a night..

Journal entry: Day two of salad and no Dr Pepper. Neighbor's Shetland pony is looking strangely appetizing. Prayer this morning consisted of begging God to take the fat, alternated with pleas of forgiveness for thoughts I've had regarding my neighbor's breakfast...and how easily they would die, leaving it to me.
I would repent over the scales, but they are a machine, not human, and they deserved just what they got, the lying devils.

Salad, where I'm from, had taters, macaroni, or fruit in it. Vegetables like lettuce, cabbage, collards, spinach, and turnips got cooked with some meat and butter. Raw cabbage called Cole Slaw was a hot dog topping.

Regular lettuce always hurts my stomach, but I love baby spinach salads or even on a sandwich instead of lettuce! I can even process cabbage (clean, raw) better.


So ready for vacation. Hubby is getting worked to death with no real days off and he is craaaaaaaaanky. LOL. I love him but my word. I really was hoping he could get his day off today, but someone was sick so they made him come in anyway. :( Just say a prayer for him. He needs rest, he needs Jesus (both LOL and serious here), and we still have like 40 days until the vacation, so he needs a day off!


It's raining here today. It rained some yesterday too.  I'm not sure what's going on.. if it's the rain or what, but the basement is filling up with this egg smell. Jeremy checked the pilot light and we don't have a gas leak. It will sometimes go away after you run some laundry or a lot of water thru.. but it was still there this morning strong. Really not sure but it's so gross.

It's raining here too. Rainiest August I can remember in years. And I ate a bowl of cereal this morning, then fixed me a healthy lunch of a small chicken breast and the salad that we are still arguing about- and for the record, Jenn,Lettuce may bee 95% water- but so am I. LOL
I then ran off and left said lunch on the bar.
I cheated last night- I ate a handful of tator tots that were cooked in the airfryer, a spoonful of chili, a small bit of diced onions, two servings of low calorie ranch dressing, and a sprinkle of cheese, with a dessert of a small piece of my birthday cake.. Probably around 1100 calories total, but I had only eaten around 3-400 calories up to that point, so I was still under my target. Still staying away from sodas too.

Was the car in a carport on the side of the house, or was it sitting outside? Did you have to get out in the rain to get in the car?

If you got rained on while getting to the car, yes it counts. If you went from the house to the carport to the car without getting a drop of rain on you, no it does not count.

When it's 90+, I don't enjoy the outdoors. LOL. I enjoy looking at it from my air conditioned window, but that's as far as "enjoying" as I get during those temps.


We are headed to Nevada in like.. 39 days! I'm excited and nervous. We've never been THIS kind of camping before.. well, when I say "we" - I mean me. Jeremy has gone camping out there with them several times, but I've only camped at a campsite. I'm not going to have a real bathroom. :( This makes my nerves soooo frayed, haha. I'm weird about bathrooms. BUT I cannot wait to meet the rest of this precious family (tho I'm nervous to meet them LOL) since Jeremy has talked ages upon ages about them for 7 years. :) Plus I missed the two wee ones.


We went to Kroger last night and stocked back up on Gatorade for my postman husband and snacks for me. I was snackless at work.. and getting cranky LOL.

Let it hit 50º and you'll hibernate. I love the outdoors from late September to early May. I want a trike made with a backrest and the pedals are made for people with bad knees. I'd take my camera and ride the bike path by the river this fall. It's $800 though.

It's an essential oil made up mostly of Eucalyptol (50-65%). It was referred to by the Madagascar people as "the oil that heals". It's antimicrobial and supports the nerves and respiratory system. Kinda smells like camphor to me. Good for respitory and colds. I rub it on my chest.

A very sad day. An AoG pastor who was a good friend of mine passed away. This man was baptized in Jesus name by Bro. Craft after some JCM students taught him a Bible study. He believed and preached holiness and the necessity of the HG.

To me, he admitted he knew oneness and baptism was right but said ''I can't preach it I'm AoG.''. He opened his pulpit to me many times and always said ''Preach what you want!''. Many times he picked me up to go pray for his saints or visit other holiness AoG ministers like him.

I wish GOD would have given me an Acts 2:38 message for his church but HE never did. I always felt HE didn't because the pastor wanted me to preach what he knew but refused to preach. This man blamed not preaching truth on his AoG wife. I cry for many reasons over this man. I know he is in the hands of a just GOD and I'm thankful I can trust HIM!

Morning all. Got up this morning and the scale showed that I'm down 8 lbs in the past two weeks. I'm not really being as strict this time so far, so I was happy to see this.
Trying something a bit different- a slightly larger breakfast (this morning was a 3 egg omelet with about 2 oz of sliced sirloin, veggies, and n oz of cheese topped with salsa, along with a cup of coffee. Coffee and all probably 400-500 calories. Lunch will be really light- some rice cakes or the like and water- just something to take the edge off. We will see how it works. If the numbers climb, we'll go back to my old way.
I've got a ton of people coming in today so I may not get to check in much today. Have a great day!

Brandon and I joined the gym plus we are going low carb with our eating. In 2 weeks, I'm down 7 pounds and he is down 12.

I was passed over for the animal hospital job. Alas. Like I told my pastor's wife, that's the problem when you pray 'Your will be done'.

Just requested info from SNHU to see about maybe transferring my credits and trying to get my Bachelor's degree finished up.

Dear lord, today was rough. I didn't have time to turn around. It was all day, steady, with a side of mild coworker drama. And two of my "good" parolees who have been sober for years came in and confessed to using meth this last weekend. Dear Lord. You've been clean for FIVE YEARS and suddenly you wanted the mess bad enough to go FIND it?!?!  I am thankful for 1) a boss who understands and who is my friend and 2) never having had an addiction and 3) an office with a door I can shut. The only thing to carry me through the day today was God and Kenny Hinson in the background. That and for a little bit my sinful secular side listened to Albert King playin the blues...

Well at least I'm in good company with the weight loss thing. I haven't stepped on a scale before or during this whole bike riding thing, because I don't have a set weight limit to reach, but my stomach is receding. I am happy with the results and intend to continue biking as long and as often as it is feasible.

Which reminds me... yesterday I felt cheated. The sky was clouding up rapidly, the weather service predicted thunderstorms, then my uncle Fred even called just to make sure I knew it was going to be storming, so I decided to drive my automobile. Of course it didn't rain a drop all day. When I got out of w*rk the sky was beautiful blue and the wind was blowing toward home, a great tailwind that would have made for an easy bike ride.

I remember a Noob the Loser comic about that. I can't link to it because it's halfway down a long facebook page, so I'll recreate it here. The following conversation is between a husband and wife.

MAN: "Setting the alarm for 5am. Time to become a morning person!"
WOMAN: "Hmmm..."
MAN: "What? You don't think I can do it? I WILL become a morning person. You'll see!"
WOMAN: "Uh huh."

(next morning, early)
MAN: "Ah, getting up at 5am, ready to take on the day! (oh holy *Oh my, I need to improve my vocabulary* I feel terrible)

(later that morning, wife gets up)
MAN: "Well look who finally got up, sleepyhead! While you have been sleeping the day away, I have been experiencing life."
WOMAN: "Mm-hmm. Want to go back to bed for a bit?"
MAN: "Oh yes please, life is so very bad!"

Well howdy do!

It took a couple hours between yesterday and today, on and off reading, but I waded thru two threads dated as far back as June 3rd and read EVERY PAGE to make sure I got caught up with you guys!

Happy Im back now?

I have a few things to say...:

NOT FAIR that Roscoe got to meet Baby Bobby and get a surprise Chel visit. I have NOT met the baby, AND its been over four years since Ive seen Chel!!

And Roscoe said that his new camper was "tall enough to stand up in"...thats not saying much considering the source. *cough*

Glad to see Seth posting. :smirk2:

Too much rain and WAY too much HOT here.

Soft cookies all the way! And I love lemon oreos! Yummy!

I have missed yall, I just wasnt feeling like posting and replying and all for awhile. Dont really have a reason.

Im good.

Very very good.

Got a new job dropped into my lap. Like for real real. Total God-thing. Had to sit at Walmart cause my friend's a/c was broke and instead of having her kids(5) and her and her husband all cramped in my house, we just hung out and let the kids roam WM while we sat in Burger King until the sun went down and they could go back home. Ran into an old (backslidden) friend at BK, and she asked if I knew anyone who needed a job...I was like "ME!!" and she told me her place of work was hiring. They start at $1.25 more than I was making with oppertuinities for more money, benifits, and advancement in the future if you stay with them.

Its exactly the kind of place I worked in Florida back when I first found GP. A retirement home. Out of the kitchen, doing CNA type work, but not actually being a CNA. Its awesome!

Anyway, I applied and within a week, I got the job, and within two weeks, after background checks and drug test and physical, I started working! Totally God!

I didnt quit Burger King totally yet. As much as I hated that place, my whole attitude changed about it now that I have a new job. I work longer hours now, and have more days off so on some of my off days, I still go in to BK.

I just got a text today from my boss and she was saying she would like to offer me more hours...she was checking to see if that was ok! Yay!

Things are going great and I am happy.

As a plus side, the hallways are long at my new job, and I have to walk and walk and walk all day long. Pushing wheelchairs and answering call lights and just walking all day. The first three days I worked I was about dead. I was not used to walking. Leg cramps and general hurting and exhaustion. So I prayed and told God, He gave me that job, He is gonna have to help me walk and not kill my legs..and the very next day I was fine.

Got me a step tracking app on my phone and I am averaging 4-5 miles a day!!! Just working!

The PLUS side to that is, without changing anything else, just walking, since the 3rd of August, I have lost NINE POUNDS! I am not dieting, just walking and working.

I may actually go on a diet soon. Just because.

Anyway. Im back. Ill post more often.

Im sleepy now and I guess I'll go to bed.


Oh...I ate liver and onions tonight. And enjoyed  it.

That is all.

And yes, Isaac that comic is appropriate..
The scales showed me at my first milepost this morning- 249, just barely. They are not very trustworthy and will give a dozen different readings before finally consistently showing one, so I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I know my clothes are fitting a bit better.

I had to go back and check what comic you were talking about, because I could not remember which comic I referenced. I found the Forum auto-censored me for something that was not even a cuss word...

Concurrence on wardrobe fitting. How my clothes fit is the only measurement I am using for my progress, and so far I am pleased by my progress.

I'm afraid it's going to be a while till we can afford to go anywhere. We are plotting our next trip- but at the soonest it will be months from now in November... and that depends on if I can work and make the money to afford it. So it's still just a dream and not quite a possibility yet.

This morning is...a Monday. It started with waking up, which was not necessarily good. Then after rushing around, I discovered a flat tire on the state truck. I get to work and have a gazillion things to do to catch up, and some idiot calls to gripe about a parolee that is not even mine, which ticked me off. And to top it off, one of my close friends messages me this morning very holy and Godly, on a day that I'm struggling to be human, much less spiritual. I told him to pray for me, because as a witness today, I'm better suited to arranging meetings with the good Lord. Fortunately, I know he will pray for me...

So.much.drama.in.my.husbands.family. It's so frustrating, disappointing, and makes me so incredibly anxious/nervous/unsure.

Basically.. My sister-in-law and her boyfriend are addicts. They're felons. They have a son (our nephew - Z) who is seven. They've made a string of horrible decisions and have gone through a huge medical settlement from a situation that almost cost her life as well as Z's life. There's no money left from that. They've been homeless in the past year. He has abandoned her and Z in the middle of nowhere while she was very ill and no food in the cabinets. We have all given her money, food, childcare, etc., so many times over the last six years I have been in this family. They keep just going back to those choices and making them again.  Jeremy's mom let his sister and Z move in with her in a one bedroom apartment until she could get on her feet, but she kept letting his dad come and stay during the day and smoke pot - two things Peggy asked her NOT to do while living there. She kicked them out.

Finally this year.. Z's dad got ordered into rehab. He was ordered to have no contact with Z. She let him come home from rehab the first night where she and Z live. Child services came that night, knocked once, and scooped Z out of bed and took Z to his father's parents house. (Z's dad also has 3 other kids from a previous marriage. Their mom died of an overdose earlier this year and they have moved from NC to IL to be with their dad. They are staying at Z's dad's parents as well since their dad can't provide a home for them.)

They have also gone through all of the state money he gets for those three kids (presumably on drugs.. since he was ordered into rehab). This morning we find out that my SIL has called their cousin (who we go to church with) to ask if they will take full custody of Z and the court date is tomorrow. She of course would rather not since she has two kids of her own and Z can sometimes be a handful. We're hurt that she didn't even give us a chance OR her mother a chance. Jeremy's mom has provided probably 99% of the support for their little unit over the 7 years of Z's life. If it hadn't been for her, there are so many times he would have no food, no clothes, no heat/electricity, etc. She kept him a LOT of the time as well, since his parents love to choose drugs and each other over him.

I'm not sure I'm ready to be 100% responsible for a kid, but we love him and would take him in a heartbeat. I don't want him in foster care OR at his dad's parents either. They just don't really seem to like him. I'm concerned for Z. I want him to feel safe with a full belly when he sleeps at night, and to feel loved and secure. I have prayed many a prayer over him as his parents spiral out of control. When I found out about this court date tomorrow and her choosing their cousin for custody, I cried and felt angry and sick. I reminded God that I have been asking Him to look out for Z and to keep a hedge of protection around his mind, his spirit, and his little 7 year old self. He's SUCH a sweet kid who can totally be a handful because of so many things he's endured and because he's only seven. I feel like our life has tumbled onto the set of Jerry Springer (if you guys know what that even means.. lol). Say a prayer for Z, that God keeps His hand on Z.. and that God's will is done concerning the custody hearing and all of that. It's terrifying to me, but if Z needs us, we're here. I don't know how all of that will work, but it would be worth any difficulty for him to have a stable environment where we don't have to worry about some drug dealer coming to collect $$ and Z somehow getting hurt by him or his dad.

Sorry for unloading. I've never experienced any of this type of drama in my life. It's overwhelming not knowing what to say or do, but feeling like you need to do something.

We are supposed to go to Arkansas this weekend to see my parents since Jeremy finally has a day off work (holiday on Monday). We will drive down Saturday after he gets off work and come back home Monday afternoon. So ready for a break from Illinois. Then in 24 days from today, we are finally going on vacation to Nevada! Thankful for jobs and homes and cars.. but man, they are sure stressful sometimes, haha. We are going to have to buy a new vehicle this fall/winter before he starts his mandated overtime with the USPS for Christmas deliveries. I'm not sure I can handle 12+ hour days here at work while I'm waiting on him to get off work. It's been.. a/c, roof, car, etc. If we hadn't already purchased our plane tickets, I wouldn't be going on this vacation in September, haha. I would LOVE to be able to pay down majorly on some bills so that our credit scores can get even better so we CAN get a great deal on a car! Again - I am SOOO thankful that we have good jobs.

Speaking of.. I need a nap. It's so dreary here from the weather that I think everyone's feeling the need for a nap in the office.

I understand completely. We had a similar situation arise recently- my niece got busted with meth and a whole bunch of other illegal things. She has a tiny 8 year old daughter, who looks like she is 4, not 8, and Department of Human Services was called. When they took the kid, the DHS worker is a close friend and former coworker. She immediately called me...we said no. I can't go through the heartache, and it would have meant some very hard sacrifices for our family, including pulling Chey from private school to afford it. The child's other grandma was available, so she went to her- in Illinois. I hated it- but I had to make choices based on what is best for MY child first, and at this point there would be no way to raise another child without pulling her from private school, which to me would be majorly unfair.
 Sometimes, being an adult s.ucks and the hard decisions are even worse to have to make and look at yourself in the mirror afterwards. I second guess myself all the time , wondering "did I do the right thing?"

Seems to be a reoccurring theme here lol ...prayers all around!

My brother and sis-in-law are working towards getting guardianship then eventually adopting a little girl and her soon to be brother. The mom is crazy and off her rocker. She's part of my sisinlaws family of some sort. I dunno the relation.

She (the mom) harmed the little girl in the past though, so she def. can't have the girl back. But they've stopped working towards guardianship because if they wait until the baby boy is born, they have a better chance of getting both kids.

Love listening to that little girl talk. She's not even one yet. We Marco Polo so I get to hear her talk. She says hi, bye, and puppy. lol

Where did everyone go???
I'm glad it is Friday. A pain of a coworker resigned, though, and as a result I have a ton of her people on my caseload. She was terrible at her job too, so I've got a 5 star mess to fix... I really am fighting a battle to not hate her right now.

One day closer to the weekend. A three day weekend, glory to God. I NEED that. LOL
A three-day weekend for you means a lot of business for us at my job. I have just now reloaded my stash of chocolate at the job to cope with it.

Our town needs a movie theater. Or a bowling alley. Or a skating rink or somewhere else for people to go besides the local fast food factory.

Bobby: I rejoice with you in being relieved of the presence of a pain of a co-worker.

Well.  I enjoyed today. Little bit of jeep time with the kiddo, a little bit of Rusty time, and I got the new top for the jeep in and installed.
And I had time to cut the grass at the house and the church.

GOD is working a miracle in me and for me! I feel better than when I started this physical and spiritual battle 5 years ago. I have no headache!!! I'm moving better, I can get around without 2 canes, and I weigh less than I have since I can remember, and I slept like a rock last night. I'm trusting GOD to complete this work in my back and right leg, both are still in pain and there are some serious issues in my lower spine... But I know the GREAT PHYSICIAN JESUS CHRIST! GOD has done a miracle in my mind, body, and spirit!

My blood sugar would spike with the severe pains on top of other pains then if I took something to lower it or the pains eased it would drop rapidly more than once to 17. GOD protected me and blessed me with a wonderful wife who spotted when the blood sugar dropped and she helped me get something to bring it up quickly.

GOD healed me in Canada of blood sugar issues I was off all meds when this happened for me 3 years ago. I was actually put back on blood sugar meds because my blood sugars were dropping and was told the diabetic meds meant to lower blood sugars also worked to ''balance the blood sugar''. It actually began to send them to high and then it was still having huge drops. I've taken no blood sugar meds tonight and my sugars are in the normal range!!!

I can't put into words what GOD has done for us! Believing HE can and will make me WHOLE!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to my Creator and the Author and Finisher of our faith JESUS CHRIST!

To be continued...

Back from Arkansas last night. We didn't get there Saturday night until.. almost Sunday lol. So so tired, BUT I enjoyed spending a day and a half with my parents. :)

Only FOUR workdays for me this week. WOOHOOOO. BUT.. next week my coworker is off on vacation and I'm praying our boss doesn't make us compensate for her work lol. It's a bit much how much she has to do at the drop of a hat from these bosses, haha. At least one of them she's taking with her (her husband), hahahaha. Then SHE is back for a week, and then ~I~ am going to be gone for a week! WOOHOO.  I can't believe how fast this vacation has come upon us. I have NOTHING packed/ready, haha. I'll have to start getting all that figured out this week I guess.

:hi: At work. Barely awake. Made the snafu of driving the Jeep in because I have some errands immediately after work to do. It would usually be no issue,  because a coworker has court in another county. He usually drives direct from his home, but the ONE time I leave the state truck at home, he comes in to get a vehicle. Dear God. I might add that this is the pain that tries to find a reason to complain on me.

Went to a Mary Kay part last night. First ever "spa" experience.. interesting!

Poor Jeremy had to be the one waiting on me last night. I thought the party would only last an hour... more like it started at 630 and didn't end until after 8pm. LOL. My bad. He had been off for an hour or so already before that as well. He got to eat dinner tho.. I only got snack foods. I told him that I was just cashing in all those days I waited hours for him after work LOL. But today, we're both a little sleepy. I apparently need to be going to bed at like 7pm, haha.

:hi:  Lou has put up with me for 15 years as of today. I was a sweet boy and bought her flowers. Got called a romantic sap because I purposely bought lavender roses(same color her bridesmaids dresses were) and had them place yellow Carnations in the bouquet (The first flower I ever gave her,way back when I was trying to impress her).
She was happy. I wish I could afford about two weeks in Europe, but until I win the lottery that I don't play, that's on hold..

I have been ticked all day. It is indeed a Monday. I have seen what seems like half a million offenders, have heard all the excuses that I will tolerate, and have carted at least one particular irritant off to jail.
And I have finally gotten the police report for Lou's wreck, and had to dig online to get a phone number to file a claim. Then I speak with an idiot in Michigan who is one of the claim's centers, and who wants to argue with me about whether the State highway I HAVE LIVED OFF OF MOST OF MY LIFE was an interstate, telling me the accident could not have happened like I said "since they don't build gas stations on interstates, so your wife must have been exiting the interstate". I explained to her that it was a state highway, I had lived on it most of my life, and I had been a police officer in the city the accident happened in for years and have worked more accidents there than I can count, so I'm pretty sure I know what is a freeway and what is not. She STILL wanted to argue. I'd have slapped her cross-eyed and repented later had she been in front of me. Dear Lord- create in me a clean heart- but DEFINATELY renew a right spirit within me, cause this one has soured....

I was in bed by 11 myself. Which is early for me. The night before it was 3am. lol
But I switched up my bedroom in an attempt to take my TV out of that room. Trying to change things up. Working on getting my subconscious to recognize my bedroom is for sleep only. Hopefully it'll help my sleep issues.

So then I swapped my office with my guest room because the room is bigger. So I put my tv in my office.  Have a corner that's empty, so I'm gonna get a chair with an ottoman for that corner, so if I want to watch my tv after work I can do so, but not in my bed as was the usual. lol. There's a method to my madness!
So far loving all of the changes.

 Dear Lord it has been a day. And I currently hate the great state of Texas. Trying to get a transfer for a nonviolent offender that SHOULD'VE been done a year ago by the lazy officer that quit recently. It is an emergency- and the lady has no one in Arkansas. Texas says there is no emergency and denied it instead of reviewing all of the documentation that I attached. Part of me wants to go to Texas and scalp people, and part of me wants to go snipe my former coworker. Sadly, both choices end with me incarcerated or with a P.O. of my own... sigh. Talk about trying my spirit...

It's nearing the end of Day 1 of 5 in captivity.

Cats went to the vet on Saturday. Neither of them are dying, so that's a mark in my favor! #catthumb  LOL.. We are giving them antibiotic 2x a day for this whole week. Surprisingly, I was not shunned like we thought I would be. You just can't stay mad at your alpha, I guess.. haha. I control the meals, the snacks, the cuddles, the fresh water, and the main thing - the door to their room. LOL. Maybe, just maybe.. they actually love me, too.


I'm getting a little nervous about our trip. We are supposed to be packed as of last night, and I haven't even pulled out our suitcase. LOL.. We're always better under pressure tho.. so I'm sure we'll be packed at 5:59pm on Friday evening when we HAVE to leave for St. Louis to get to our hotel in a timely manner. We thankfully don't have to be at the airport until like 6am for our 8am flight. We are trying to decide between staying at a "Park and Stay" hotel or just pay for parking at the airport. Realistically, they're generally about the same price. I guess I need to do some better research and see if there is any significant price change for this Friday.

Elona got an exciting phone call from CFA HQ! It's an exciting prospect for her and a possible major blessing in more ways than one. Please pray she gets this opportunity...

I'm still working to gets some books published!

Florence as bad as she was, became a blessing as well by drowning the ragweed and goldenrod that was covering this area. We had some of the highest pollen counts recorded here until the rain came.

I need to see my Bubbas and Sisters nieces and nephews on here! I wish we could make a trip west so bad!

Me too. The jeep is fixed, though. And before I can do much as sit down good, the s.o. calls me. They've arrested one of my repeat offenders that just wont learn. More paperwork  for tomorrow...
 And I guess I should be flattered.  My boss informed me that they had hired someone for my office. Unusual because we didn't sit in on the interview.  She texted me that he "is a good guy, a country boy you will like, and I want you  to train him because he is going to be a good one"
I'm gonna take that as a compliment,  despite the extra work it means.

Day 2 of captivity went fairly quickly since it was so busy. Husband also tore up the carpet in the cat's room. Apparently someone had put in some type of tile at some point. It was crumbling in spots, so we went to Lowes last night and bought some floating floor stuff and some stick-on tile. I'm not sure when the plan is to get all that installed, but I highly doubt it's this week, haha. Cats weren't too crazy about the shape their area was in, but I made sure they had random surfaces to lay out plus their food, water, litter.. so I guess they're okay for now.

I am going to go to the store tonight or tomorrow and get one or two more litter boxes (vet recommended options) and probably a couple of new beds to keep in there as well since their old ones resemble two dead cats. Jeremy wants me to take them to get groomed. Do pet places actually groom cats? Their hair is just.. insane. LOL.

Day 3 of captivity has started. I've got three pieces of toast w/ grape jelly fixed to eat here for breakfast. Payroll day! I also still need a nap.

Well. You are all wrong. In this case, "S.O." refers to "Sheriff's Office".
And it was a long day yesterday. In my folly, I went in about an hour early, thinking to get a jump on the day. I had no way of knowing that my day would run long....
Long story short, my coworker had a very bad dude on her caseload. He violated his conditions of release, and we tracked him down. He went to jail, eventually, and I got to remember what it is like to be a "real" cop.
The downside is , it was nearly 7 pm before I left work. I was late to church (almost didn't make it), and finally got home about 14 hours after I'd left for the day.
I'm totally bailing early today. And I'm off tomorrow.

Day 3 of captivity wasn't too awful bad. Work was busy, but okay. We finally got our birthday and attendance bulletin boards up all the way at church last night.


Day 4 of captivity.. while it isn't over (which is terrifying).. it's going VERY fast. I get here an hour early every day since I'm car pooling with Jeremy, and I looked up.. it was already lunch time - 4 hours later. LOL. I've been training a girl to do payroll while I'm gone next week. Most has gone well, but hiccups that are better NOW than next week for sure! :) We almost had our vacation cancelled today by Jeremy's work. One of his fellow carriers' dad passed away today and she is off work for a few days, and another one's dad is about to pass. Another coworker should've been fired a long time ago for threatening violence against his coworkers, showing up to work hungover (smelling of alcohol as well), and just generally being completely foolish and uncooperative with his coworkers/superiors.. He's suddenly developed appointments all the time now. SO.. They tried to get Jeremy to come in anyway, but ... we have plane tickets that are nonrefundable. So.. If they push the issue, I'm pushing for reimbursement. LOL. You DO get paid well when they mandate you off your vacation, but boy will HE be cranky.. even more so than I would be, LOL. Hopefully they're able to get things covered for a few days so we don't have to miss our vacation.

Cats are doing better. Still hating our not-all-the-way-done remodel job in their room, but living through it. I'm going to get a couple of rugs and some extra litter boxes so they'll feel a little more at home. Maybe a couple of extra toys. :) Catnip seems to really be working on the boy cat lately. He's quite entertaining.

They're pretty independent so they're stuck at the house all week next week without us. Oh the havoc they will probably cause.. haha.

Fine.  Ill post.

Been a crazy few weeks.

2 weeks ago my mother in law passed away.  She had been diagnosed with an aneurysm, and it ruptured.  It was an unexpected blow, that's for sure.  Been dealing with all that for the last bit.

(https://image.ibb.co/d1sQxU/Old_Truck.jpg)

Saturday, we had to go pick up her truck.  I don't know if they check in here anymore, but a special thanks to Cletus and Sarbaann for checking the truck over for me.  My son finally figured out that the truck would be his driver in 2 years and has talked about nothing since then except that truck.  He discovered LMC (Roscoe, you would be proud) and has decided that we needed to put $10,000 dollars worth of stuff on there in the next 24 months.  I told him no.  My wife loves that old truck (it was her Uncles, then Dads, then Moms...) and may not let my son drive it.  Our first order of business will be to replace the motor.  Shouldn't be hard...

Bobby I can't post all the time about nothing. My life is quiet and comfortable, but nowhere near interesting to other, more normal people.

The most exciting thing in my life recently was making 28 loaves of bread last Wednesday. My supply was getting low and I needed to reload.

Ive been working a lot. I pulled in 83.75 hour check that will be paid to me on this friday. Thats pretty good for part time!

I really am loving my new job. Taken some ajustments being on overnight shift. And several of my residents Ive already grown attached to has been sent out to the hospitals and some will not be returning due to a decline in health. And we also lost a lady this past sunday morning. I was the last one to care for her, and I felt death in her room the whole night long. I was scared she would pass on my shift, while in my direct care, but she waited. 45 minutes after I clocked out for the day, she passed.

She was 102 and had declined to 61 lbs.

So its been an emotional ride this week. Other than that, things are great and Im doing well. My roommate is moving out soon and there is a possibility I may move into a mobile home closer to work. Waiting on word from that, but in the meantime, I am content to stay here. Whatever God wants.

Headed to ladies prayer this morning. :hi:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH!

Excuse me. I have had yet another brush with the "That's not MY job!" attitude. Got some irritation to get out of my system. You can skip the rest of this post if you don't feel up to dealing with irritation right now.

Wednesday is my day off, but I went to w*rk anyway to cover for somebody who quit without notice. If I do w*rk on Wednesday I have to leave by 4:30pm because church night. Toward the end of the w*rk day I noted to one guy that it looked like I won't get all my stuff done today, and I speculated the manager would probably ask him to finish what I didn't get done. He replied, "I ain't doin' it! You better get your job done!"

Really?

I felt like saying "You know what? Today is Wednesday. None of this is my job! My job on Wednesday is taking a long nap and making a casserole for church tonight, but I'm not getting my job done because I'm doing somebody else's job, because he decided to quit without giving so much as one day of notice! I'VE SPENT THE WHOLE DAY DOING STUFF THAT ISN'T MY JOB!"

I didn't say that, but that's what I felt like saying. I'm still regretting not saying it - even though I know it would probably have not been the best way to deal with the situation, there's a part of me that really hates that I passed up the opportunity.

Today, one of my offenders flipped a switch I haven't had flipped in a long time. All of my office mates came over to see who had torqued me off so bad the whole office could hear me. I finally told the idiot to get out of my office because if he was there any longer, I'd wind up going to jail myself.

And man, I HATE having to tell a friend "No". I've a close friend who worked for me a few years ago as a police officer. He's a great guy, and I love him and his family. But some things I can't do. We are currently stretched for cash ourselves, because of Lou's surgery and other bills, and to be honest some poor choices we made in the past that has resulted in credit card bills. We're not bankrupt by any means, but really have to watch our money. My buddy called a few ago wanting me to cosign a loan for him. Lou and I made the decision long ago to not cosign for anyone, because it puts us at risk if they can't pay it, and it ALWAYS results in bad feelings. We've turned family down....It still hurts to tell someone you care about that you cannot help them.

Proverbs say something about that...like...

Proverbs 17:18 ESV One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

Or

Proverbs 22:26-27 ESV Be not one of those who give pledges, who put up security for debts. If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?

Don't forget

Proverbs 6:1-5 ESV My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger, if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth, then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor.  Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber; save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

And

Proverbs 11:15 ESV Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.

:hi:  Been an emotional day. One of my pastor's best friends and mentor retired today. Bro Sorrells is elderly and his health has really went downhill in the past few months. Today was the transition service in which he symbolically passed on the mantle to a younger man, Bro Floyd Flowers. As I listened to all the accolades and praise, it struck me that he is but a few years older than my beloved pastor and soon it will be him retiring. I'm in no way ready for that. I cried listening to the emotion in Bro Sorrels voice after he was helped to the pulpit he has controlled for over forty years and told his people how much he loved them and admonished them to treat the incoming pastor as they did him.
Another piece of my childhood, another page turning, another change.
Bro Flowers seems to be great, and Brother Larry Booker spoke and thinks highly of him....but there'll never be another Rev Gene Sorrells.

Erica and I pool our money for shared groceries, about $75 each a month, and make a list and meal plan for the month. Then we each get our own special things we want that we eat individually, and on nights I dont cook, or for lunches we eat leftovers or the food we bought for ourselves.

We buy chicken, pork chops and hamburger meat. And stuff like fish sticks and shrimp and talipia.

Then during the month we will each take turns buying stuff we are out of, bread, milk, etc...depending on who has more money or whos payday is closest.

It works. Sometimes we have to be more creative with meals, but we always have enough.

We don't have an Aldi's near us that I'm aware of. We DO have 10Box, a cost-plus-10-percent grocery, kinda a warehouse/salvage grocery type thing. You have to watch it though- you can get smoking deals on some things and some things are cheaper at Walmart. Their meat is OK- I won't buy their hamburger because so much water cooks out of it, but they often times have cheap steaks and roasts.

Okay, since Mini is silent, I shall give the low-down.
Everyone knows I don't preach out.  Period. I struggle to speak publically. BUT- When Chellebelle texted and asked if we would come over and I would speak for their 5th anniversary service, I couldn't say no. You can't tell people you love "No" that easy. She spoke with Bro Wilson, as did I, and he approved, so much nervousness later, I found myself in Spiro. Then to add to my nervousness, Ma and Pa Porter walked in.
I fumbled through, trying to find God's will. It was an amazing blessing to be there and I felt God in spite of my meager performance. Chelle and Mini were gracious beyond belief and a genuine blessing. I still don't like preaching out.

Been a busy day. Had training all morning, then had to take several to the range. Gonna do a half day tomorrow because I have to pick up Lou's rental car as her Lincoln goes in the shop tomorrow to be repaired- finally.
Although the initial contact with the at fault's insurance company left me want to choke the representative to death and tell God it was an accident, the second person I had contact with was amazing. She bent over backwards to get us everything we needed, kept in constant contact to give me the status of my claim, completely unsolicited, and called today to make sure we had everything we needed for a rental car. If they send me a survey, I'll give the first contact a negative 100 and my second contact a solid 10 stars on a scale of one to five. She singlehandedly restored my faith in humankind...

Yes, Happy birthday, Chel. I was so caught up in life and trying to get things done yesterday, my online presence was nearly nil. Today is Friday, thank the Lord.
 We went and got Lou's rental- It's a beautiful color of blue Hyundai Santa Fe. I'm not a big fan. Compared to the much older Lincoln, It rides like a log wagon, and sitting on its seats are like sitting on plywood. But, it keeps Lou from driving Rusty or the Jeep for a week, so I guess there's that. I question the rental industry's idea of "a comparable vehicle" though. Yes, it is an SUV, approximately the same size. That's where the comparisons stops, though. Although in fairness, it is 9 years newer than the Lincoln. But, due to the way we maintain the Lincoln, a casual bystander would not think that- Lou's cars always look like new, because she is *I need a thesaurus"-retentive about keeping it spotless.  I obsess over the mechanical the same way. The dealership gave me $1500 over book on Lou's last trade-in because the salesman said he would probably buy it for his daughter, as it "looked like new".
My goal today is to work on my cases and NOT see anyone....maybe a couple home visits. And maybe this new kid won't drive me crazy today. I told the boss yesterday I am NOT trainer material, because people annoy me. LOL

BUT.. My husband took tomorrow off work to go with me to Pickin' at the Patch at the local apple/peach orchard. We love going to this every year. Such fun stuff to look at, tasty apple cider donuts to eat with a cool apple cider slush (tho' we will probably go to KiKi's Coffeehouse for a hot coffee lol), lots of vendors to buy stuff from, even a sunflower patch! All part of our county's Colorfest! Plus tomorrow night and Sunday is pastor appreciation at church!

I have yet to personally talk to my Brother and when I do, I know Ill break down at the sound of his voice...Im crying again now just typing it.

All is well. Rebuild will be long and hard. Our church is destroyed. My family still has livible homes, some of my friends dont. Power will be off for months. But it could be worse..my family and friends could still be missing or even dead. Everyone is accounted for and uninjured.

Im just still an emotional wreak...I can imagine how they feel.

Mel, sorry to hear about your hometown. Looks like Mexico Beach doesn't exist anymore either....
It rained all day here. I got a craving for homemade buttermilk biscuits and chocolate gravy this morning, so I got up and cooked enough breakfast for a dozen people. The biscuits came out great, the chocolate gravy was thinner than Mama's, but still quite tasty.
Now I'm entering the last week's expenditures into my finance software. If I can figure out how to balance this mess, I should apply for a job with the US government.
Dear Lord, this past few months have really hurt financially.......... :sadbounce:

Was sick for 2 weeks, went on vacation for a week, came back to news that my Pastor and his family have been called back into the mission field and we vote on our new pastor on Tuesday. I've only been in 1 service with him and his wife has friended me on FB but I thought I'd put my feelers out if you all knew them or anything about them. It's Bro Joel and Sis Sheree Bean. I think  they may have originally been from Texas, had pastored a church in Seattle, and maybe currently in California.

I need another vacation, I do not feel relaxed right now!

Headache all weekend long, but I'm starting to think it might be a sinus or a dental issue. I took some allergy meds w/ sudafed and some advil .. hopefully that with some hydration, I'll be better by the end of the day. Something about going to sleep with headache and waking up with the same headache (or just waking up with a headache) seems a little offensive for your body to do, lol. Sleep is supposed to be restful.. not for gaining issues. :)



Busy weekend here. We had some fun on Saturday w/ Colorfest. We came home with something from almost every bake sale we passed. Church was good. We had our pastor appreciation services this weekend.

With it being so rainy and dark here, I think we should get to take a nap.

:hi: Something's gotta give in my job. It is insane right now with the workload I have. Most states have around 60- 80 cases total per officer, and studies claim 40-50 is optimal.
I currently have 247. Of which 230 or so seem to be actively involved in pursuing a criminal lifestyle.  And I'm having to "fix" things that others let go unattended- which isn't easy with the legal system.
Court today, which means more work and probably a ton more new intake cases. And, since it is close to the holidays, the prison system usually does an early "dump out" releasing inmates early before the holidays. So we are about to get even more hammered.
 And my new guy is driving the entire office nuts. All he talks about is his football days, and the job he is in the process of being hired for. And hunting. They need to hurry up and hire him. He's a waste of time and I'm cranky trying to be polite and train him.

I fumbled through, trying to find God's will. It was an amazing blessing to be there and I felt God in spite of my meager performance. Chelle and Mini were gracious beyond belief and a genuine blessing. I still don't like preaching out.

Well, now that I FINALLY have a moment to catch my breath, here's the rundown.

I scheduled someone to do a fellowship meeting on the 7th of October.  When I showed it to Chelleebelle, she panicked.  She had someone coming in to preach that day (5th anniversary, so I wasn't upset by the secrecy).

I had no idea who it was.  I asked and asked, and she wouldn't budge on who it was.

Saturday, I was up early and posted on FB about us being in our city for 5 years.  Roscoe texted me and griped because it notified him and woke him up.  I told him tough luck and fussed about what all I had to do that day.  Still didn't know who was preaching...

Then about 7:30 PM, a car pulls up in our driveway.  I couldn't figure out who it was at first, then it dawned on me. IT WAS ROSCOE (AND LOU AND THE KIDDO!!)

I was floored.  I have threatened to get him over here for 5 years to no avail.  Chelleebelle asked him all the way back in April, then okayed it with Bro Wilson...and there they were.

Sunday morning rolls around and Roscoe showed up in a SUIT.  Yes, a suit.  I didn't know he owned anything but overalls, so this was shocking.

(https://image.ibb.co/kbBO1L/IMG-20181008-WA0003-640x480.jpg)

Lou sang, and Roscoe started to minister.  Friends, when I say he ministered, he didn't get in a hurry and began to pour out what God gave him.  The whole church was on their faces when the service was done.

They are wonderful people.

And for anyone else that's interested, I have heard a really good rumor that ANOTHER GP'er will be in my area the last Sunday of the month.

TACO and JinbowRingles will be ministering here in a couple of weeks!

When the body sticks together and functions as one body it doesn't matter who or where the body goes.
It works in fluid conjunction as anointing is poured out.

I didn't think he owned anything other than overalls either.

Mini is too kind in his telling.
 The rest of the time, he's a troublemaker. :hypocrite:  And since Taco and Ze Clown will be making a pit stop on the way to preach for him, I am even more  overjoyed. And may try to run over to listen to them too.....

Yesterday was court, all day. Had one delicate little feller break down crying when he discovered his indiscretion with drugs followed by his failing to come see me for nearly two years netted him a prison sentence. He kept sobbing and saying "I don't understand"..
I fear he will be a big hit in prison....

In my opinion,that's the biggest root problem in our society. People haven't been taught that for every action there is a reaction-or they choose to not believe it.
My day was good. I got a lot of work done, got home and got Rusty buttoned up. Still a few things to do to him, but it's stuff I can take my time on over the winter months.
And my youngin is a blessing. Lou wasn't feeling well and came home going straight to bed. Chey cooked up hamburger helper and then helped clean up. So proud to see her step up to help.

We voted Tuesday. It was unanimous. Last nights service we didnt make it out of the song service before the HG swept in. Our new pastor is flying in to preach Sunday then heading back out to move his family across the country.

My feet have been killing me since going back to work after vacation. And poor Whisk looks so offended when I take 1-2 of her 11 tennis balls when I get home to roll under my poor feetsies. (There are public tennis courts right across the street from our house and shes a hoarder like her father. Lol)

Going to coffee with one of my former youth girls after work. She reached out to hang out a couple weeks ago.

Started not feeling good last night.

Oiling up all around. Oils in the diffuser, oils ingested internally and oils rolled on the body!

I really cannot get sick.  :noo:

Soooo many people are sick at work and seem to be staying sick. I lysol after each person makes the "I'm not feeling good" announcement, haha. I don't want to be sick!!


It's rainy and cloudy and cold here. I want the sun back from earlier. This is why I disline winter season... I LOVE SUNSHINE! Winter seems to steal it. haha.. and Yes, I realize.. It's still technically fall, but I can't seem to process that in my 36°F wakeup this morning.

I hate winter. Loath it actually. It's literally rained all week here. I'm over it.

I'm eating hot chicken noodle soup. Wanted some bread and butter but the bread was bad. :roll:
Don't have any crackers either. Boo.

I caved to husband pressure and turned on our heat this morning. I have it set so low though it hasnt kicked on yet. Ha!

Tidying up the house a bit, baby shower for a sister at church this afternoon, then 2 families from church are coming to my town and we are grabbing pizza at a Chicago style place. Things like this are making the difference in Brandon's walk (or baby steps....I'm still believing and I know what God has shown me)

Been somewhat lazy today. Made homemade bread to go with Lou's homemade chicken noodle soup. Just read a flea market find "One night with the King" by Tommy Tenney. A very good book, kind of a fictionalized, but biblically accurate story of Esther.
I absolutely love this type of book- stays true to the Bible, but makes the bible character much more relatable and puts  them into perspective- they were REALLY human, with all the doubts, faults and issues we have. My personal library has acquired several of the genre.

I've got "I,Saul", "Matthew's Story", "John's Story",  and "Killing Jesus" in addition to today's finds and other books.

It's a chilly morning, but it's going to get into the 60s today.. while I'm still inside at a desk, but I can go outside sometime!

Husband has jury duty today. He's irritated about losing his day's wages, but once the case starts, I know he will be enthralled, haha. We are praying that it is only a day's long case because we do not want to keep losing his wages. They do pay you some, but when you're able to earn this much OT this time of year, it's nowhere near a drop in the bucket. If they let out at a decent time, he's promised his postmaster to come into work afterwards. That makes me nervous because I don't want to be here until 10pm tonight, haha. We haaaave to start seriously looking at finances for a second vehicle.



Short, but good weekend. I enjoyed it. :)

Hmph. The ambient external temperature was 34F when I was supposed to leave on my bike. Bleh. To add insult to icicles, when I am driving my minivan home it will be above 60. Bleh. I was half temped to bike this morning anyway and freeze, but I'd rather be half tempted and not than bike and be all frozen.

I did that earlier this year (in a way).  We have a Jeep and I drove to work with the soft top off.  It was 40ish.  It was nearly 70 on the way home.

Has your son been hanging around any Amish enough to pick up some tricks? He could help Seth out...

I shall be in prayer for your son.. :hypocrite:
Wow. What a day. So far, I've had to take two to jail, listen to both cry and snot like 6 year olds, and have likely completely ticked off their families, through no fault of my own. Oh well. I remind myself that I'm here to do a job, not be everyone's friend, and there's times that I can't be...
I'm deeply in prayer for a coworker. He has unsolicited promised the entire office, by email,  a million bucks each, tax free, if he wins the Powerball. I know he has better chance of being struck by lightening, but I'm still praying for him. :laughhard:
A million bucks would go a long way in financing my eventual escape from here and buy me a cabin on Petit Jean....and a few cool cars...

Wait, wait, which way are you praying? Are you praying he will win the powerball or get struck by lightning?

Depends on what day it is, since he's been a pain to me. If he's giving me a million bucks though, I'm totally praying for his win. If he loses, I MAY begin my alternate prayer.

Morning all. Back at work. Bah.
Somebody start a new sharing thread. We is three pages over. I don't guess it really matters, with our limited traffic, but rules is rules...
