Idk how to quote from a closed thread but your last comment Seth, made me :spitlaugh: my coffee!
:hi: Morning. I'm at work.
In reply to MY.. there does seem to be quite the evidence that the people from Arkansas on here ARE short, haha.. but we definitely aren't all bald thankfully! :) Thankfully.. we ALSO have taller people than those of us on here, haha.
@Work. :)
In my opinion, it's a waste of money to go to Starbucks and not get hyped up on caffeine! They want too much for their drinks for me to lose money on decaf...give me the REAL stuff, and add a triple shot of expresso...let's do it RIGHT!
Just me.
I'm in WM. dad and I are out paying bills and such. I'm _almost_ better today. If this coughing would go away, I'd be closer to normal. :smirk2:
MelodyB: I feel the same way about coffee in general. I don't drink the stuff unless it's a dire necessity, but if I do have to resort to it let it be STRONG! If I'm gonna have to stomach the junk, let it at least have some effect.
Roscoe: Does Bro. Papa ever ask why you have him pose for so many photos? :P
*giggles with Nelle*
Yes, Mel I agree for an adult but not a 10 & 14 yr old right before school...lol I didn't have the cash for me to get anything this time and I have coffee at home. It was all about the moment. Andrew feels mature being able to drink coffee even if it is decaf or mostly milk! :biglaugh: Going to Starbucks or any coffee place made their day.
I saw someone like a photo on instagram of a coffee flavored tea. I'd soo be willing to try that!
I like coffee just have to be in the mood for it.
There is a coffee here that isn't even coffee. It's roasted hazelnuts and almonds. If anyone is trying to quit, let me know and I'll send you some. For me, it's more about the mug of warm liquid than caffeine. I am just as happy most of the time with just tea. Some days caffeine can be a blessing though... lol
That sounds... interesting actually. Lemme know the name and I'll see if I can google up a supply.
I bought some veggies for my juicer! Not a lot, but some stuff to try.
And I may or may not have purchased some Orbit gum.
:hypocrite:
Melody try carrot, orange and mango together. Very good.

hahaha omg are you gonna leave it out for that rat dog?
would you really do it? lol
I guess I'm the devil's advocate. haha
i flushed my fish down the toilet.... haha
I had 2 handfuls of spinich, one whole cucumber, half an apple, three stalks celery, and some baby carrots in there. It made a glass and a half of really green juice and it was super tasty! I hope it helps get rid of this sickness. All those fresh vitamins can't hurt any!
And I do not like mango. At all. So I don't think I'll be trying that one.
That sounds yummy!!

Teeccino Herbal Coffee

boom.
Wow. They are $6 here.
That was a pack of 3... so it's almost the same.
:biglaugh: duh me! I was thinking that was not a good deal!
I miss the Mel's of this board today.
I've never met them, so I don't know what we're missing. But if you're missing them, they can't be all bad.
They aren't. :grin: neither is roscoe and mini... I like those guys and their families...
I miss you too. I could use one of our sand talks. *sigh*
There is sand here!
My daffodils opened! So pretty!

Pretty. I love daffodils.
Idk if that means me too or for the Mel types on this board... Hehehe so I'm just going to whimsically go with that you might mean me too!
*leaves a good hug for Chel* I am nearly always up for conversations of deep thoughts and wonderment of God's wisdom. You don't have to miss me too much, I'm just a phone call away. :)
Jenn - the flowers are beautiful. They make me do a *happy sigh*. :)
Kim - I'm so glad you told on Roscoe. :bigcheese: Now we have another something to hang over his head.
Mel - I'm sorry you're still coughing so hard. :(
Melodya - My boys would love going to Starbucks, too. Especially Jason. I think it's it mostly the whole idea of Starbucks being an adult hangout, and drinking coffee being such an adult thing to do. :) If Jason has been especially helpful around the house or has done extra chores just because, or something like that, it's not unusual for him to come ask me if he can have a cup of coffee as a reward. ;)
*Lil' Bean pouncehugs Chelbertina*
:beret:
I wish I could hug you for real...
And of course I was including you Melodya! Lol!
Yay! Love you lady!
Jenn, those seem to be a good resemblence of your disposition. Bright and beautiful with a deep passionate side.
Thanks Melodya! :hug:
Got a hammock for my patio!!! Absoutely love it!!

I have slaved on the bird ranch since sometime after noon, I forget when I started, until about 11...I had to give up, I had something else I wanted to get done but I didn't think I could stand it. :(
And it's so stinking cold. Sheesh.
Last year it was 84.
Lord.
I have way too much work to do this week....the next three days are going to be packed with the cleaning job and cards..... Lord help me.....
:sob:
got any room for some unskilled labor?
In local news, when I got home from work tonight there was a large box on the carport. It was a Seagram's Extra Dry Gin box. Inside wasn't gin though, it was the Marshall 40-watt mini amp I ordered from Ebay. It made me grin though - I thought to myself, "Is there something Grandma isn't telling me?" :roll:

Bah! I saw daffodils, not corpse lilies....a much better resemblence, I'm thinking. Stinky and shine brightly, but rarely. :P :P :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Sorry, Jenn, I couldn't resist. :great:
And morning, all. It is my friday. I felt like crud last night, just wore plumb out, and laid down for a nap. Church time came and went, and there I was at home. :cry: But man did I feel better this morning!
Took dad to dialysis, went to the store, came home, cleaned the kitchen, got a load of laundry in the wash, drank some cucumber, apple, carrot, spinach juice.
Now laying down for a nap before going to pick dad up.
Morning. Everything is yellow around here from all of the pollen. Folks sneezing like crazy.
Wow! That'd be neat to see!
It's getting to snow here 1-3 in. :smirk2:
Supposed to snow in the northeastern part of our territory tonight. Don't think we are gonna get anything except some rain. Sure is pretty cool outside right now though. And Bobby, shame on you for sleeping instead of going to church, :nono: but I'm glad your feeling better today. :P Feeling better could possibly have something to do with the fact that today is your friday! :clap2:

Oh.....throwing stones, are we, Ms. Glass House? :nono: Who's been to church most recently? :P :P
And yes, Fridays DO feel better. :clap:
Coincidentally it is also my Friday. Tomorrow we are off work, and off all next week. So let's keep the conversation up in here, eh? :teeth:
I kinda broke my juicer. :sadbounce:
That was fast.
Of course it was a cheaply made one, not one of the better ones, but still.
Hamilton Beach brand?
Oh no! That's why we haven't bought a super good blender yet. The good ones are expensive.
Tonight we're going to the symphony for the first time! We also learned there are FREE nights occasionally. So we'll be doing this again!
Gotta go wash my hair! I tell you what, Nathan goes and surprises me with all this romantic stuff and I have no idea what to do besides enjoy it. I feel like I should be giving him a foot or back rub every night! It's so funny how love and respect in a marriage works. That book is so right it's scary. Lol
What book?
For blenders, get an "immersion" (hand) blender. Usually cheaper for good quality, and do just as good a job. Better usually, as you can move the blades around wherever you want. And you don't have to dirty up and wash all the parts of a standard blender. Cuisinart has a good one, great reviews on amazon.com for something like $40.
Enjoy the symphony. SO much better/more/deeper than just playing a classical CD.
When you're at the symphony, avoid these guys. http://xkcd.com/586/
Went for my HIDA scan this morning. I'm literally radioactive for the rest of the day. They pumped I don't know what all into an IV in my arm today. My arm is sore from it though. And I feel all chemically. It's gross. Hoping to feel better so I can go to prayer and praise at church this evening. I haven't been to any church function in awhile. Tried to watch service online tuesday and ended up falling asleep due to the meds.
I'm so over this *Oh my, I need to improve my vocabulary*.....
What were the results of your hida scan?
And did you guys realize that cheese is even!?
He's been eating a balanced diet.
Actually... last I saw, he had a lot more smites than blessing. Someone been monkeying with the stats, or have we been bless-bombing lately?
Love your hammock Jenn! I always wanted one at our old house.
I figured out how to do the beehive hair do. Hehe
Bleh. We're running torque converters now, both lines, for the rest of the night. Boooooring. Talk a lot tonight so I'll have a lot of conversation to keep me occupied. :-)
Oh and they are talking about staying until 4 o'clock in the morning too...
I GOT A JOB!!! woooooo, *does happy dance*
I am so excited!
I drove passed twice and on the second time I told Brent that I felt like we needed to stop.
So we pulled over I walked in and was honest, told them I had no clue how to do arrangements, but that I was willing to learn anything.
She asked if I would seriously try and I said yes, so she told me to come in Wed. morning at ten!
It was amazing, today was my second day and it is so much fun and it smells SO good!
It's only part time but God give me this one right on time!!!
I caught everything except the part about smelling so good...
Flower shop. ;)
Ah. I know what that's like. my grandparents had a floral shop and greenhouses. Mmmmmm!
:hi: It's friday! :bustamove:
Morning :hi:
It's grocery-errand day and it's snowing again. We're bundling up and heading out soon.
MY, that photo isn't big enough to get a good look at. We need a bigger one ;)
It is nearly 11am and I just woke up. :o
Idk where my dad is and why he hasn't been yelling at me to get up so we can go do whatever he wants...I guess I need to get out of this bed and find out.

Hehehe Hannah and I were having too much fun thinking of fun things to do with curly hair. I have a very ummm silly picture of a hippy hair do. It's too much for you all to handle. Lol.
Morning y'all. My body hates me for staying at work so long last night, so it is repaying me by not allowing me to sleep past the time I usually get up. I think I hate it too.
Nice beehive!
Dad had been up and made biscuits apparently, and layed down again. Mom is still in bed. She doesn't usually get up till after 4 anyway. But it was odd that dad was laying back down.
I've got all the trash gathered up, and the diswasher unloaded, reloaded and running. Plus I put the ham bone in the crockpot to cook all day, then at about 4pm, I'll add a head of cabbage to it and that will be dinner. Yumm!
Thinking of doing baked potatoes too. Something easy and quick tonight.

If it was yellow it would look like that cartoon woman... something Simpson... ;)
Hers is blue, not yellow. Lol
Who's is what? I thought blue hair was old people and anime characters.
Quote from: MelodyB on March 22, 2013, 06:03:31 PM

Oops, maybe her face was yellow... I never watched the stuff.
I wasnt allowed to watch, so of course I did when I could. Yes. Marge Simpsons face was yellow and her hair was a blue beehive.
Scratch my dinner plans. Dad pitched a fit about the ham, he wanted beans not cabbage and he made a big stink about me using the crock pot all the time so I turned it off, told him to do it his own self and left te apartment. As it was, I got invited to a late lunch/early dinner with my aunt and uncle who are from out of town, and my Pastor Uncle/aunt. So I don't care what dad does with the stupid ham. If he's gonna pitch a fit like he did over it, I'm not touching it.
Parents are so childish sometimes. I go out of my way to help them an still get yelled at.
:waving: I slept in today, nearly 10 o'clock....Had a friend come over to check out my radio station, then made a quick run to town. We got a dusting of snow last night, but it melted by this morning. So ready for winter to be over....
Made a Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler...turned out delish, and was easy to make to.:fork:
Now I'm playing with the radio again, talking to Jamaica...life is good.
Post a few transcripts, eh?
My scan came back normal :banghead: So I'm supposed to watch what I eat until they can get me in to consult with a surgeon. I'm not supposed to eat fatty foods, dairy, vegetables, fruit, and watch my grain consumption. Which leaves me eating a couple of saltines and drinking water [which gives me horrid heartburn]. My options currently are starve or just eat whatever and pray I don't die.......
I've had problems for almost 2 years now. My bosses step daughter started having problems a month ago and her gallbladder is coming out on monday. I just don't understand......
That's so stupid. They won't find anything till it kills you. Then they will find it on the autopsy. :smirk2:

Heather, sounds like that leaves beans, mushrooms, and broth. Oh and Almond milk. That sounds pretty good! I'll tell ya a fast really helps sometimes besides for spiritual things. While I am a believer in the Daniel's Fast, a regular just-water fast is just easier.
A tiny amount of Bragg's apple cider vinegar in your water, as in not even enough to taste, is beneficial for cleansing all your organs. While it won't drastically reduce your heartburn in such small doses, it will help.
I want some of this strawberry cream cheese cobbler! Or maybe a recipe? (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/flirty4-smiley.gif)
In sharing:
Last night of our Anniversary week was tonight. We went uptown and ate at the Plaza. It was fun. I was feeling a little dorky not knowing how cooked I wanted my grilled duck... lol I guess you don't grill duck well done? I've only had roasted duck which is cooked through. For that matter I didn't even know ANY poultry was supposed to be pink. But I guess this was. I'm so uncultured. :ugly: It was rather lovely though. Call me weird but on the very rare occasion we get to go on a date, we love to eat earlier than the usual crowd. Not quite 4:30 but 6 is cutting it close.
When the place started filling up we left to a little coffee shop and talked about goals and vision for the global missions dept. Our conference is in August! Time is flying!

Yeah, that.
:yawn:
:stupid:
Morning, all.... Up and ready to start another cold dreary day....come on, spring! I shall post the receipe for the cobbler in a bit, when I find it- Lou cleaned the bar off before I could rescue my printed copy, so hang tight and I shall retrieve it from my electronic file. It IS delish- I'm enjoying a bowl of it now. :fork:
And here 'tis...STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE COBBLER!!!!
Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler
1 stick ( 1/2 cup) butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 quarts whole strawberries, capped and washed
4 ounces cream cheese, cut in small pieces
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and pour into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the egg, milk, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour directly over the butter in the baking dish, but do not stir.
Add the strawberries, arranging in a single layer as much as possible. Sprinkle cream cheese pieces over strawberries. Place in preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and edges are bubbling. (Crust rises up and around the fruit, but fruit will still peek out of top.)
* I cut the strawberries up, into fourths, because the only "fresh" strawberries Walmart had this time of the year were imported, and were HUGE.*
I was looking around town yesterday for a small guitar amp (they make great loudspeakers, and cheaper than a really good boombox) and found a pawn shop with a lot of CDs I had never looked through. I'd still be there now, but they had to close for the day. No fair!
:hi:
:hi: to you as well.
Oh, and I did find an amp. A Fender 38 watt (more than enough for my purpose) that is small enough to carry around easily, for a flat $50.

Gonna have to try that one!
Nursing service done. 3 want to be baptized!
Now on to section 10 mass choir practice.
Then church to tonight with a Bro. James Littles. I guess he's an awesome teacher, I'm excited!
Woke up. Worked out. Got some things out of storage since Brandon is finally building shelves and etc for our spare room. Started laundry. Found his receipts for buying a pack of cigarettes every other day for the past week. Getting ready to warm up some lunch.
I wouldn't even be that mad but he's lied to my face about it. I'll catch him outside working with a cigarette and he'll tell me he had an ashtray in the building and found it. I guessed he was lying to me but now I have proof. And he can't pull the 'they are for dad' line because they are all on days he's worked and are from Chilhowie, Erwin, and Johnson City for single packs. I figured he'd fall off the wagon. Most people do their 1st try but I'm peeved he lied to me about it. What else does he lie to me about? GGRRRRRR!!!!
Shame? Guilt? It's not easy to deal with failing. Worse to admit to someone else you failed. Try to make him understand you are upset that he lied to you, and make it clear you are not upset because he failed.
It would make me wonder Heather, if he really is ready to quit or if he's just trying to please you. We can unintentionally put people in that position and the effect is they are willing to lie to keep the peace or so they think.
By the way, something I've been meaning to ask Roscoe: Does Arkansas have a deal with Mapquest or what? Every time I open mapquest, it defaults to Little Rock, AR. I can enter a zip code or city name for wherever else I want to look at, but Little Rock is where it opens to. Try it yourself and see. Did the tourism board pay Mapquest, or is Mapquest HQ based there?
:hi: it's raining here. This is a good thing, it will wash some of that yellow pollen down.
i'm tarred and wore out.
i have to catch up in here later.

Thats probably because your ip host is located out of Little Rock.
I told him after he stomped around a bit not speaking to me that I'm very proud he went 3 months not smoking. That's awesome for someones 1st try to quit. We talked it over and I told him I'm more upset about the lying than I am the smoking. So things are kinda smoothed over.
didn't do much of anything today. thinking about going to clean the bank tonight so i don't have to do it tomorrow. Might go to my mother-in-law's house tomorrow. Most people can't say this, but i have a wonderful mother-in-law!!! I guess after 25 years with her son, she probably figures i'm here to stay! :P

No, my IP host is in Mississippi. And I've tried it from multiple computers on multiple ISPs.
Wow. I don't know if they'll put that one on the church website but James Little did an amazing job. He taught some things on communion, which we'll be doing tomorrow if this snow doesn't get out of hand. He also touched on holiness.
Quote of the night:
"When holiness is maintenance then it is sickness. We are dead to sin, free from bondage... holiness isn't for our salvation, it's for others'."
I don't know if that is comprehensive w/o the other things he said but it was powerful. It absolutely BLOWS my mind when I hear stuff preached the right way that turns something from what the world would make seem negative to what it really is, freeing and empowering. There's never the unction to do less but to be more consecrated. Not to be saved by works but to enact the truths of God and drop every weight that is unprofitable.

Lady Heather, your guy has been lying to you on multiple fronts the past few weeks, but things are OK?
Hello, everyone.
John :waving:
Sometimes I think I must be the stupidest person in the world. :roll:
Last night, I decided since I only had a little bit of my jucing veggies left, I would throw it in a blender and drink it. No prob. A little carrot, some spinach, some celery, a tiny bit of cucumber and a peach to take the bitterness out. No biggie, it was really good! So I drank it.
Took my heartburn pill, and ate some tums at about 8. Then I went to bed about 12. At 3, I wake up, and eat another handful of tums, cause I'm pretty uncomfortable with heartburn...go back to sleep and now, at 5:30, I'm wide awake with the worst pain I've had in awhile. *sigh* So I took another heartburn pill and chased it down with three big spoonfulls of mustard.
Dear lord. Why am I so stupid to think that raw veggies in a blender is ok to drink after dinner time? That was amazingly stupid on my part. I know better. I really do.
:frustrated:
Since I started typing this, it has dissipated slightly. But I'm still a real genius! SMH.
Goodnight again.
:hi: Back at work...on a cold dreary rainy sunday.. :sadbounce:
When you get yourself in the position I'm in with no where to go except to live in your car, you learn to work things out. And if you knew the family background from his life.....it's a work in progress. I'm honestly surprised he turned out as good as he did. Pretty much as soon as ANYTHING comes out we talk about it. Right then. No holding onto it. No letting it simmer. If either of us get too angry we walk away for 10 minutes then come back to resolve it. Unfortunately in that 10 minutes I come in here and blow off that steam.
I'm up. Chili in the crock pot. Eating my delicious Oikos hoping it doesn't try to kill me. The we are off to church. I think Brandon is more excited than I am to go.
Just got up a bit ago. We have about 8 in of wet heavy snow that is taking out some people's power lines. Church was cancelled.
I was up all night sick but I think I'm pretty much better today. Gotta make the family a big breakfast and then we'll probably have some family church right here.
Maybe. If I don't just lay down and go to sleep again.

Home from church. Chili has been eaten. I feel a nap coming on. We visited a different church today. Since Brandon has more Sundays off now I really want to find somewhere we can go together. Next week I think we are going to go visit the UPC church in Damascus again. I'm praying and believing for the day that he's not just an observer but a participater in service.

It's been nearly 80 at times last week but tonight we have a freeze warning and the wind is blowing like crazy.
I have been sweating all day. It's so HOT! But yet the temp shows its cooling off again. Wind is chilly, but I can't keep from being hot. Indoors and out. Blah.
It was windy here this afternoon, but now it's just cold. Like, mid-winter cold. Bleh.
In other news, we of my factory begin our involuntary vacation. Thank you Lord I have enough for what I need, but it will pinch a bit. But on the plus side, if we gotta take a week off for lack of business we couldn't have picked a better week to take off. Lots of stuff going on at the church, with Easter coming up.
Speaking of missing theatre I received a text from a friend who is currently doing one of my favorite productions. It's 1 weekend only in a role I've played twice now. But after looking up the cast doing the production last October I don't know if I want to do it. It was a hot mess. Their is 'eh' theatre and 'that was horrible' theatre and this is definitly on the horrible end :smirk2: The only positive is I would be amazing....
Well, you got the confidence part down... ;-)
I have a friend whose mother died suddenly Friday evening. Tonight I went and hung out at her mothers house while she was there. I may be helping her with her little boy during the funeral. He has down syndrome.
Headed to bed now. Hopefully my heart won't burn tonight.

I read that line and for no good reason my brain spit out some HisSong lyrics
Can you burn with the zeal that you had back then
When God first saved your soul
Win the lost at any cost and help them learn
Like the bush God spoke to Moses from
At the point of no return
Can you burn
Christian can you burn
:hi: :hi:
Yesterday was a good day....saw a facebook friend who I didn't know had any knowledge of Pentecost post a Youtube of Bro David Bernard preaching with the comment "Great Preaching". I sent him a fb message that turned into about thirty minutes of conversation, with the end result that I picked him up for church last night. He worshipped and enjoyed the service, and told me that he is hunting for a home church and would be praying about ours. The young man told me he didn't know much about doctrine, or standards, or anything else, but he "knew he was Oneness".... Praying that God will continue to draw and lead him.
Made my day, especially when he was more than open for the possibility of a Bible Study. I'm hoping that will come through. His Dad has been a friend of mine for nearly twenty years- a fellow cop, ham, and Jeep nut- but strangly we've never talked church much.
And totally off subject - it was flowerin' 24 degrees here this morning! :o I want my warm weather back.... And that's my sharing for the day.
Had a dream I was teaching a college class on the NT. lol. I'm not nearly smart enough so not sure where that came from.

By the way, something I've been meaning to ask Roscoe: Does Arkansas have a deal with Mapquest or what? Every time I open mapquest, it defaults to Little Rock, AR. I can enter a zip code or city name for wherever else I want to look at, but Little Rock is where it opens to. Try it yourself and see. Did the tourism board pay Mapquest, or is Mapquest HQ based there?
Thats probably because your ip host is located out of Little Rock.
No, my IP host is in Mississippi. And I've tried it from multiple computers on multiple ISPs.
When I go there, it shows Dallas. Hum....

It was a "flowerin" 30 here. I'm with you on the warm weather.
(and yes I purposely wrote flowerin')
You can't say f r e a k i n 5-0. lol the board considers it a bad word!
We've had quite a bit of edits lately. Lol
:hi: It was 32 when I drove to work this morning.
Well, it's still snowing off and on here. Is it there Seth? Do you lose birds in the deep snow?
I want coffee because I can't have coffee. Lol I have the beans but nothing to grind them with.

I am currently eating a rather large tuna sandwich with mayo, dill mustard, cheddar and gorgonzola. I mention this because it's a rather good combination that I heartily recommend to anyone.
I ate an egg sandwich today.
I'm ready to go home.
Me, too.
Me too... Like... Not on earth.
So I worked an unexpected 12 hours today. Go back for another 10 hours in 9 hours. People I work with need to put on their big girl panties and grow up.
It's stayed around the 34 degree mark and windy today. Which I felt between the hours of 6 - 7 pm when I was walking kennel dogs outside in it. I hope to regain feeling in my hands before bed.
Here's a young guy's blog that goes to our church. He's on fire for God.

Lady Heather, I expressed my thoughts as you are a woman who has endured much, survived much, and IMO deserves an exceptional man. However, it really is none of my business, and henceforth I'll say nothing about what you post about Brandon or other situations, and wish you well in that vague, silent way.
John
They say that heaven's pretty
And living here is too
But if they said that I would have to
Choose between the two
I'd go home
Going home
Where I belong
I still have to catch back up in here.....
It snowed last night, not nearly such a big deal as they made it out to be...couple inches or so, and didn't stick to the roads....and it was pretty for that matter.... And it snowed. all. day. today.... Didn't add anything to it really, but it has snowed and snowed.
Happy Spring. :P
Since it was nasty out, I went ahead and decided to go to work today. Got most of my stores done today, and Thursday I'll do the apartment cleaning job, and finish the other 2 stores that are left.
So the other "nicer" days of the week I can do stuff around here and such.

Morning, all. :hi: Woke up somewhat late and rushed until I was back on time. REALLY glad one of my brethren in blue didn't see me, or I mighta had some explaining to do. :laughhard: Hope God blesses each of you with a wonderful day- except Cheese, who I hope God blesses with several more inches of snow. :hypocrite:
:hi: It was 28 this morning. Hope it doesn't kill all the stuff that has already bloomed.

Been there. One of those days the only way to make it to work on time is to go as fast as your car can get up to before the next curve...
Surgery consult next Tuesday morning!!! Lets get to it!!!
Yay Heather! Nice to have a light at the end of the tunnel.
We have one vehicle and Nathan carpools with a coworker. Well today the coworker's car is in the ditch. That's all I know besides everything is ok so it's probably because of the snow. So Nathan had to take our car which means he was late bc he had to take Andrew to school which I normally do and now we have to rely on a friend to help us pick him up. We need another vehicle. And Nathan needs a job when this one is done this month. I trust God. But I also feel the pressure. Whatever we have to do we will do. I've worked before, I'll do it again if need be.
If things get tight we will cut extra expenses because that is logical. Right now those are Internet. $40/mo can help with food/gas. So! If I'm not around that is why. :) gotta do whatch'ya gotta do.
MellowYellow: If you have a home phone (landline) you can get dial-up for about $6 a month through FrysISP. I tried it just to see if it would work and it seems pretty good. Slow of course, as any dial-up is, but it works.
And they don't disconnect you every X hours like SOME dial-up providers do (mentioning no names, but you used to get their CDs in the mail all the time.)

I don' have a home phone and haven't for at least 8 yrs. but thanks for the info, someone else may be able to use it.
It's really not that big of a deal. I think I would welcome the break from it. It's awfully hard to not engage online when it's there whether its email or otherwise.
Hannah showed signs of coming down with what I had so I let her sleep in. She's rearing to go now! Lol. She's my little spunky monkey. A ball of sunshine with sparkles of grace.
I've been trying to get he to see the aesthetic and logical profit of two side braids with her long heavy hair for a few years. She has never liked it. This week she decided it looked cool and has worn it that way every day. *giggle*. She keeps me amused.
Meller: I saw a mutual friend of ours over the weekend. He seemed to be in great spirits. Also had a great visit with him.
Awesome! We're going down there next wknd and Nathan is preaching. Excited to see his new babies and the revival going on. :D
Is Nathan preaching both services?
Scattered the latest batch of poop on the garden that I dumped on it the other day.
The snow has mostly melted.
You need a bunch of diaperless kids running around in your garden. Like about 30 of them, for a week. On a diet of broccoli.
My parents said that when I was little we lived next to a woman who had a ton of little kids running around, and mostly the younger ones would not have diapers on. Once she was standing at the fence talking to my dad, and she was holding one of them...the child had an explosive movement all down his legs and the mothers legs and everywhere...she never missed a word of her conversation, she just grabbed the hose, rinsed him and herself off and went on talking.
Dad said it was just nasty. And that wasn't the first time he had seen one of her kids go in the yard, but that was the yuckiest one.
:flush:
I have diaperless birds.
Given my current state of mind about somethings I would like to announce a sabbatical from GP. I will keep my FB updated to my medical conditions if you are befriended me there. Otherwise I will keep Mel updated and ask her to pass on info to you fine folk. See you soon. :cool:

Well, that was unusually short and sweet, Roscoe. Everything ok?
I would like to go back to bed please with a side order of warm covers, hold the morning sunshine.

Yeah...Just in my normal not a morning person mood and couldn't think of anything bright and uplifting to say. Or for that matter, anything pointed and witty to say in Cheese's direction either. :smirk2: Bah. Ready for a weekend. At least I got free donuts this morning.:fork:
:hi:
Well, I'll be.
Lord, I need a vacation... From snow.
Perhaps The Lord will call us to the wilderness known as the South and we can bring yous up to civilized speed.
:P :biglaugh:
:yawn:
Not feeling the greatest. My cough that had almost went away completely, started coming back yesterday, and it's gradually getting worse again.
*sigh*
Update, I have my first Dr visit since my surgerytoday, they want to see of im healing right.
I love my new job its been the biggest blessing!
Brent and I are doing great and ready to dive in and help at the church, pastor said as soon sawed are married we can start doing some stuff!!!
We may have a place to live finally. Help us pray Gods will, if we get the place we can go ahead with the wedding!
Hannah puts a smile on my face if I didn't already have one. She's all riled up about wanting to teach a kid Bible Study. I have to figure out what is a good one. I've heard of that before that while the parents do a Bible study, the kids are doing one too. Suoer basic and simple.

Jeremy, it'd be a sacrifice but I'd be willing.. lol It better not snow there next weekend!
I wish I could get a straight answer about my paternal grandmothers side. Everyone else I have a handle on. My mom is super white, literally and figuratively. My paternal grandfather's side is basically German and then Jewish. But my grandmother is anyone's guess. And she is the only grandparent alive. I dug and dug on Ancestry and can't get it to add up. I wonder if she was an illegal immigrant.
*sigh*
My heart is heavy today.
My whole body is heavy...but that's cause I'm fat.
*tries to think of light hearted jokes for mini*
A local guy tried to call me a few minutes ago, then came over. He said he saw a delivery driver slumped over his steering wheel, and had been that way for about 15 minutes.
I rush over, and sure enough, the dude is passed smooth out.
I went up to the truck, and said "Sir...."
Dude jumped like he had been shot. He had been taking a nap. I scared the devil, coffee, and other various things out of him.
:ugly:
Stupid Furby wouldnt eat the gum....
Perhaps he is more intelligent than you think.
/me screams.
My tooth is killing me..... Good heavens. It didn't hurt before they filled/refilled it.....now it's the devil incarnate.... It comes and goes, sometimes it's fine, other times it is a pitiful toothache.....
They said it'd be sensitive....and it is, to cold....but holy smokes, what's up with the toothache?
I may have to call and ask about it. :-?
I'm not super pleased with the new dentist's ways of things.
Well he wouldn't!
Maybe if you chewed it for him first then shoved it down his throat... :hypocrite:
What? I'm the first to post in here this morning?! :cool:
:hi:
Morning. I'm at work.
Forgive me friends, I have sinned. I tried nutella today... :ugly:
I LOVE NUTELLA! Why are you apologizing? You can make brownies, cookies, pudding pops, and awesome chocolate milk out of it!
Cause im sure someone will say im going to the dark side and will be eating Chocolate gravy. If this causes undue stress on my white gravy friends, im sorry.
Nutella is a semiliquid candy bar. And as I like Fererro Roche hazelnut chocolates, I of course like Nutella. :cool:
Morning!
I got a bad craving for French toast last night...so bad I almost made it after midnight...but I controlled myself.
So this morning, I have some in the oven...I've never done it that way before, but it looks simple enough...in about 20-30 more mins I guess I'll find out. Lol
:fork:
I do not care for nuttella. It's too...strong.
I don't like those ferrier roche whatever they are called either. NASTY. My friend Justin loves them though. It's his favorite. Blech.
Oh, and I'm with Melodya...if you like it, don't apologize...no big. Even if it leads to chocolate gravy, to each his own.

Y'all just never have found anyone who could make it right. You don't get real chocolate gravy from a restaurant or a package of "chocolate gravy mix."

My French toast turned out great! That will be something I do again!
White gravy lives on. I think I'll make it for dinner just because it trumps all.

Unfortunately I have yet to master the art, so I cannot say how it is made. I really need to learn one of these days.

:beret:
No thanks. I get kicked enough in Children's Church. And doubtless will get kicked some tonight. We're having our first ever glow-in-the-dark nighttime easter egg hunt.

Just got off the phone with a friend who is DRUNK. Again. Why do they continue to do this? Repent, stay good for a few weeks and then do it all over again?! I just don't get it.
This person had been delivered from drinking and smoking for 8 years, and their spouse for 5 years, but yet the spouse is passed out in bed drunk, and my friend is well on their way to being there too.

Why... uh... why did they call you if they were getting drunk? Just to let you know?
In the meantime I just spent a maaaaaaaahvelous time at a pawn shop, plowing through a good 15 long boxes of CDs. Got 61 CDs at 50 cents a piece. Gaither, Kirk Franklin, Michael English, Walt Mills, Hezekiah Walker, Rachael Lampa, Eleventh Hour, The Greenes, Winans, Martins... Some of them I've never even heard of before, but for 50 cents I'll take a chance. If all I like is two out of the whole bunch I'll still come out ahead.
The devil would love us to be distracted with people that aren't wanting to do right yet while others who would bend over backwards just to clean the church go unreached. Everybody loses.
I've been as busy as a one armed paper hanger today.....and realized I haven't posted here yet. :o My bad.Had range duty which meant no internet time. My night last night....well, it inhaled mightly. (I'd say it s +ucked, but that is apparently a bad word). Chey wasn't feeling good, so she slept with us. About midnight she coughed so much she became sick, which meant midnight showers for all and laundering of the bedclothes.
The doctor prescribed cough medicine did nothing, and the only thing that got her to stop coughing was sitting upright. Needless to say, Daddy got to hold her all night , semi upright in a recliner that is less than comfortable.
So- no sleep, and I slept wrong on my shoulder that has been giving me trouble anyway, rendering me near incapable of using my left arm. Made it through the day though, and now I have a weekend. A rainy nasty one, they are saying, but at least I won't be at work.
As for chocolate gravy, my friends, my mama would get up every Saturday morning and make chocolate gravy and home-made buttermilk biscuits. I tried for years to make it like she did, but never could get it right. Well, I went to Bobby's one morning, not too long ago, and the two of us together figured it out! Maybe ya'll just aren't eating it right, you have to put a little butter on your plate, cover it with hot chocolate gravy, mix it up and dip that biscuit in it !!! You people just don't know what you are missing! :fork:
Well, if another GP meet up happens, maybe you two can convince us.
Today it got up to 60° !!! Everyone is ecstatic. No school tomorrow and no work for Nathan. Saturday we are going out to the farm which is lovingly named after our friends new land that has lots of acreage. It's a bonfire birthday for a friend, it will be the highlight of the month at least. Great fellowship is priceless.

Tryin' to teach a Yankee about the wonders of good southern cooking is like putting perfume on a pig. It does no one any good and annoys the pig. :hypocrite:
And before you say it, the nutbox that lives one state to my west, i.e. Germ, is NOT southern. He's nearly communistic, what with his hatred for lasagna AND chocolate gravy. The man has no taste. :nono:
Well I have never been called a pig before. I don't know what to think of that.
Roscoe, how do you usually handle it?
:P
I still have to read all this sharing. :shocked:
Did egg drops, cleaning, cards, church...yadda yadda...
Went to the dentist and they ground my filling off a little more, didn't look like anything was visibly wrong with it making it hurt.... Xrayed it and stuff..... Hopefully it's just sore and stuff and whatever..... It hadn't bothered me too much till after they worked on it, and the cold air/water started it hurting and gomming around with it....
Then tonight after I got home from church it took a hurting spell.
Bleh.
Seth, sorry to hear about the tooth. One of my teeth, they said they had to drill so deep that the root may have been exposed... :o fortunately all their warnings of what might happen never did come true, but what you have sounds like what they said to watch for.

The thing of that is, I had the fillings done without being numbed. If they went THAT deep, you would think I would have known something was horribly wrong at the time of the drilling. :eyebrow:

For the record, a Fender solid-state amp, even a little 38 watt one, is an awesome thing. Nobody in my neighborhood is home right now, so I took it outside for a thorough sound check. With Nicole C. Mullen's "Talk About It" playing through it. If anyone HAD been home in the neighborhood, they would have been talking about it alright.
Speaking of amps, isn't this the pits:
QuoteEugene, OR : 1 Mackie CFX 16 mixer stolen from Hilton Hotel parking garage. Distinguishing feature: Channel 1 fader is missing/broken. — at Oregon Youth Convention 2013.
Someone stole their amp type thingy at youth convention.
If it's a Mackie, you really need a homing beacon on it. Or lock it up or something. People *will* steal them.
:smirk2: So displeased with whoever did that. They also apparently messed up his van getting it out. Marvelous. And since he lives in Portland he's quite used to big city crime, so I'm pretty certain it wasn't left visible, etc. Maybe someone was watching him load/unload it? In any case, I really feel bad for him. So frustrating.

Just got home. Yes. I know it's 3:39am. So what?
Morning.
Making pulled pork today. Just put everything on...should be ready about 4 or so this afternoon. In the mean time, I have to run to church and get stuff ready for tomorrow. I have a feeling our little church make break a attendance record for Easter!
And I am getting spring fever. It usually involves cars. Its about this time of year that some ancestor must have gotten a wild hair and decided to go exploring the world....lol
I want either another Jeep or a Dual Purpose Motorcycle.

It happens here too. :biglaugh: Go with the Jeep...a dual purpose bike is a compromise and does neither thing exceptionally well....I want a Jeep Wrangler badly.
And I'm up. Lou has ran off to help run the church bakesale, and I have discovered that she left the Caramel Apple Cheesecake I made for it here. And she doesn't have her phone because she left it at a friend's house the other night and will get it back this evening. So much for me helping the church...I tried. :smirk2:
Great. Eat the cake. :D
Howdy y'all. I'm up, and cycling through all the CDs I got to see what I like. Made myself a breakfast smoothie, and made Grandma two scramble eggs - duck eggs. The people I get eggs from have one lone duck. She says they're good.
Gotta boil a good three dozen eggs for deviled eggs for church tomorrow. No, we had the egg hunt Thursday - these are to eat.
And by the way, happy birthday to me.
:yawn:
My late night caught up to me. Dear Lord.
What happened to the days I stayed out all night, got up early, put in a full day at work and stayed out all night again...not to mention church services and fellowship...ugh. I guess I just can't do that anymore.
I did manage to get the roast in the crockpot earlier, and now I have a mere 45 minutes before I have to be up and functioning, and I'm still in the bed.
Lord help.
Sign team practice, Easter chorale practice, and easter youth scavenger hunt today...HERE I GO!
Happy birthday, Isaac! :)
Hauled water and put in the church cistern.
Came home, just ate a salad, going to go out and plant some trees and stuff.
Thankee. We're having a family dinner tonight, so it should be a happy one. :)
I'm still sorting through these CDs I got... Stephen Newby and Antioch Live!, Stonehill, Ash Mundae, Nikki Leonti, Winans Phase 2 (the next generation, apparently) Consideringlily, Heartbeat, Chris Lizotte, the Miller Girls, Eleventh Hour...
Who ARE all these groups?
I totally missed the birthday...:sing: Happpyyyy Birrrthhhday tooooo Yoooou...... :sing: Okay, so it's off key. Live with it. :P
Happy Birthday Issac. And if you see any from "The Waiting" let me know. :ugly:
"The Waiting"? I don't get it. Is that a christian music group?
And on the subject of music... does anyone want a rather large stack of CDs I don't want? I've sorted through about 40 of them so far, and the ones I keep are about even with the ones I don't want. My only request is that you not come back to me and say "What, you don't like him? How could you NOT like that group?" Just take them and see if there are any you like in there. :cool:
They were a christian group that were active in the 90's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Waiting_(band)
Happy birthday, Isaac!
I might possibly be interested in the CDs. How much are you wanting from them? And if you can figure out what it would cost to ship the whole shebang media mail, let me know, please. :)
:beret:
I paid 30 bucks for the whole mess, and I already got a good 20 CDs I like out of it... and I'm not through sorting them out yet - I'm happy. If I can get them shipped cheap enough I'll front that too, cause I'd sure rather send them to someone else than throw them away.
What's this media mail? All I ever did was slip a disk or four in an envelope. Do I tell the post master "I'd like these to go via media mail" or something?
Yep. Pretty much. You can ship books, CDs, and DVDs for WAY cheaper by shipping via media mail - provided there is no other type of item in the package. I've shipped a quite LARGE box of books for about $10. Probably would have been more like $40 if I'd sent it parcel post or whatever, based on the weight. You just aren't allowed to put any other type of item in with them.

Most def not my birthday. Lol
Not until July.
To borrow a catchphrase from Seth: Ugh.
Who's idea was the "sunrise service" anyway? I am NOT in a mood fit to be in public right now. Unfortunately the community is having the sunrise service at our church this year, and our new pastor is preaching. (And our elder pastor making breakfast. He was patting out sausage into patties last night.) If it were any other, drier, deader, quieter church I would not be getting up this early because I would surely fall asleep during the service.
Oh well, I have dark chocolate. Let's get on with it.
So I wikipedia'd "sunrise service." I'm still not happy about this. Stupid Moravians. :tantrum:
Oh, Lord. Somebody just shoot me already. I'm back at work, thanks to coffee and sinus medication...my head cold can't decide if it is truely a head cold or a chest cold- I just want it gone. In addition my shoulder still hurts, to the point I am considering a doctor's visit. And on top of it all, one of my favorite preachers is visiting my church today ( Bro John Proctor) and I have to work. Due to the 2 o'clock service, I will get there just about the time it concludes. :mad: Hopefully, I'll be in time for potluck, as if I can taste anything with this cold. Bah.
And yes, this whole post may sound Cheeselike. Live with it.
If you get to see Bro Proctor, tell him I said hi!
Busy day today, but only one service.
Roscoe: Ah, is that why that song was out of tune last night?
In local news... well... I might possibly be halfway sorta glad I went to the sunrise service. Maybe. Kinda. Our pastor did a great job preaching on "what do you see when you see the empty tomb?" I hope it didn't scare anyone - most of the people who were there aren't used to pentecostal preachers, nor are they accustomed to hearing people in the congregation backing him up.
:hi:
I just whipped up something interesting. The reason I came home between sunrise service and normal morning service (instead of taking a quick nap on the pew) is because I still had to make some deviled eggs. The problem is I never know what I'm going to put in them until I look through the fridge and cabinets and decide. Today I used a bit of garlic, a bit of dill relish, an awful lot of dill weed and... gorgonzola cheese. Just a bit of cheese, but a little gorgonzola goes a loooooooooong way. I tested this brew on my uncle Fred and my grandmother, and they both pronounced it the best deviled eggs ever.
If I tell people there's gorgonzola in them, they won't know what that is. If I tell them there's a kind of blue cheese in there, they won't eat the eggs. I have decided to pretend I didn't even make them, just leave the eggs and let the people in charge of setting up the dinner put them out. That way nobody will know I made them, and won't ask what's in them, so I won't have to scare them or lie. :hypocrite:
I'm tarrder than pooty.
But you dont smell much better.
I was so tired today as well...we had phenomenal church this morning, and then I went to Subway with Ann to eat lunch. I had lunch already prepared at home, ready to eat, but she wanted to eat with me and offered to buy since I didn't have any money, so I went with her. Came home, took a MUCH NEEDED three hour nap, and just got up and ate the roast and veggies that mom and dad had for lunch that I had prepared. It was yummy.
Mom and dad went to WM, and I'm here alone with the dog.
Hmmm. Too bad I didn't get an Easter basket loaded down with chocolate this morning. :smirk2: As it is I dont have any chocolate in the house to share with this precious sweet puppy. :hypocrite:
Guess I'll go clean the kitchen...I wonder if hersheys syrup is bad for dogs...
What's up Geepers?!?!
Just wanted to say my ex, his wife, the pastor and myself dealt with some issues and we are all on good terms now. Brandon and I went to church there this morning. Brandon wouldn't go to the front but there was definitely some tears shed so it's a step I'm glad that's happened. He likes that church the best and its in the city we live in.
Granted I may end up moving still. Brandons mom got fired from her job. If she goes too long without one or unemployment I can see Mike letting her, the twin 6 year old boys, and her 4 dogs move out here. I will NOT be staying here if that happens. Dr Allen has said I can set up my own apartment downstairs at work with my animals in tow or I'll be heading to Southern MS. Hopefully the Lord hears my prayers and His will is for that woman to NOT live here.
Be great my party peeps! :cool:
I'm telling you Mel that stinkin' dog will just be replaced by another stinkin' pet. Train that dog yourself. You be the pack leader.
Today was hmmm...I don't know the right word but I'm pretty sure the devil was mad that we were singing about the blood and that pastor was preaching about it.
We broke our record attendance though. 713.
So did we. 85. :ugly:
:clap: That's awesome!!! Woohoo!
You realize between our two churches we had almost 800 people in church today?! WOW. That is exciting!
Went to Holiday Youth Convention Friday night. Was fun.
On the way home Saturday, my two friends I had a prayer meeting for one of the friends. She's dealing with a messy break-up, and some friendships involved in the break-up as well and she just couldn't take it anymore. She is 18, and one of my very best friends. Backslid as a teenager, and got back in church full speed ahead right around 17. So proud of her. I spoke to her, and then prayed out loud...God's peace was all over that car!
Great Easter today! Packed house. A guy almost got the Holy Ghost. A bunch of my young adult guys prayed realllly hard. SO proud of them!
Feeling refreshed, and revived. Excited to see what God has in store for our Young Adult group. We girls are starting a girls bible study. We're doing Romans 1-7 for the first one.
No service tonight, so it's been a quiet evening! Lovely!
No service here as well. But I have plenty of music stuff to assimilate still.
Great on the record attendances, Lady Melody and Jeremy.
Jeremy, I tagged you onFacebook.......
John :waving:
I counted roughly about 86 from the platform today. That's not as good as it has been on Easter in past years. Seems we didn't have anyone but regulars today. I saw just two families I didn't recognize. I can get the official number tomorrow. My view was partially obstructed by the pulpit and I don't think my count is accurate.
But we had great church!
Currently, I am eating some pepperoncini straight from the jar. Yeah...I better hit the tums before I lay down. But they are so good!
We had about 46 people today. Definitely not a record Easter attendance for us, but considering how many people in our core group have been either sick or having surgery... well, I thought 46 was a really great number. *lol*
:beret:
Going to work as much as I hate too shortly.
I have toooooo much to do. Scream!
Headed to the doctor. Still sick as Furby would be if Mel's plans would work. Bah. I HATE being sick.
Morning. I'm at work.
Last night I dreamed like one of Seth's nutboxes. If everything in the dreaming had fit together it would at least have been entertaining and I might have made a script and eventually had a major motion picture out of it... but alas, it did not.
In the meantime, we go back to work today. Bout time. At least we had a lot of church stuff to keep occupied during the downtime.
Roscoe: Ditto on hating being sick. When I'm sick I can't wait for it to pass and my energy to resume normal levels.
I'm thankful there is still at least some general acceptance and openess to going to church on holidays.
Hannah is taking her standardized testing right now online and phone at the same time. I am excited to see where she lands.
I made Mexcan hot chocolate cookies this wekend with rave reviews. A wonderfully chewy chocolate chocolate chip cookie with a heat residue that keeps one from over eating them. :biglaugh:
Keeps who from overeating them? Much of my family would only be encouraged to eat more.
I, however, do not eat hot stuff because I am allergic to pain.
It's not really that hot unless you don't like anything spicy at all ever. I loved watching people's faces though as they said how good the cookies were and then got this confused look.. :lol:
Reminds me of when I had some Lindt dark chocolate with chili pepper extract. I took some to work, and there were two sisters at work, and one of them gave a square to the other without telling her what it was. Mean!
OOO...how do you make those cookies?! We need a recipe!

Well, after much contemplation. And Nathan making sure it's legit. He took the job in Saudi Arabia. And we will probably go over with him after he makes sure it can work.
:o
April fools....right?
haha *crickets chirp*
I hate April 1st. Bro. Austin, a member of my church who is rather fond of (im)practical jokes, has been burning up my phone today with instant messages, insisting he heard an announcement that I am supposed to begin a bible study class tonight, starting on the book of Romans. I have proof he is well aware I work night shift - he acted surprised to see me last Wednesday night at church, during our week of downtime.
Fool idjit is burning up my GoPhone money with these instant messages. Which may be the real joke. I should send him a bill.
I hate April Fool's. I hate being surprised. I do not do well with surprises, and you will INSTANTLY know the moment you see my face. It's not good.
Lol. Yes it's April fools. Ya bunch of wet blankets. Lol
However he did apply for real, we just haven't heard back and doubt we will.
I ain't a wet blanket - I have a great sense of humor. But this is costing me some money for his prank, that failed anyway, but he can't get it through his head that it failed. He keeps on and on and on...
Yes, I am more like Seth than I would like to admit. If it weren't costing me money, I wouldn't mind half as much. :P

Speaking of April Fools...my daughter set the alarm on her Nintendo DS, then hid it under the my bed. So at 2:45 this morning, I am awakened by a alarm. It took me and my wife both to find it and get the crazy thing shut off...
Well, last night, the kids were out playing, and I called off work today. I figured I wouldn't tell them, and surprise them this morning. When that alarm went off, it set in motion a revenge prank...LOL
This morning, my daughter comes in and says "DADDY! ITS 7:40!!!! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AT WORK!!!!!" I said "Oh man, I was up late looking for that alarm and overslept!" Her shoulders slumped, she knew she had gone too far. Then I started laughing, and told her I took off.
The good news is no more pranks! LOL
Y'all is mean....Doctor said I am gonna live, and prescribed three different medications for my respiratory infection and my sore shoulder. Since I had to take off today, I went ahead and went by the Revenue Office and gave the legalized pirates a huge sum for the privilege of buying a new car. I still get mad over the whole sales tax on used vehicles, and it's been law here for better than ten years.
The original owner paid sales tax on it, ain't no sense in making everyone who ever owns it pay taxes on it. It is regressive and unfair! Buncha whiskey swilling crooks in the legislature to think up that....I hope the ones that voted that in are forever tormented. With pitchforks. And Emrods. And anything else that is unpleasant. Bah.
Anyhow, I came home, took my meds and have been sleeping every since.
:lol: emrods lol. Oh my...
Worked over 12 hours. Came home. Found the place invested with possums. :freaky:
Killed 2 out of 3.
I have too much to do and not time to do it. :tearhair:
I still have to read all this thread that I've not. :demand:
Bah! Sleep evades me as efficiently as if it were in a bigblock Corvette and I in a Miata. :pound: :pound: That sleep that felt so right today feels so wrong now that I need to be sleeping as 4:45 am and work is fast approaching. Why, oh why, can't things ever go my way?!? :reaction:

Wow. And now, with my biscuit being consumed, and dad safely at dialysis, I must needs go back to sleep.
That is all.
I survived. Now I have returned to work. Won't be talking alot, as I'm very hoarse, but at least I yet live... :thumbsup2:
Had a dream and it left me feeling uneasy. Those are never fun. Lol.
Roscoe, sorry you're sick and tired.
That reminds me that my mom said she was sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Hope you're on the mend, Roscoe.
Thank y'all... I still don't feel great but at least I'm not coughing my fool head off. And I have currently, a large number of my fellow Arkansans would love to take my head off. They are running a school choice bill in committee that apparently is quite controversial. When they exceed the maximum number allowed in the room, we are called to keep people out. Apparently today, because of this, I am as popular as pork at a bar mitzvah. :P
Tell them they owe you for the last time they called in sick.
Dont everyone go and post all at once.
Its a beautiful rainy day here. My favorite kind of days.
It's a beautiful sunny day here but the rain is on it's way.
*sigh*
Wish I was somewhere else. OR, preferably.
What, or who, is in OR? Or do you just like the state?
Ruby is in OR, of course. ;)
Of that I am aware, having sent her a box of stuff just yesterday. I was not aware the two knew each other except through the forum.
:hi:
My surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday. The surgeon believes my 'harmless polyp' is actually a calcified stone that is embedded in the wall of my gallbladder. So it's coming out! Woo!!!
It seems like it should be a lovely day today but it it's cold and in the 40's.
Done cleaning the church. I felt that attendance record! Lol. I bet there isn't a church around where the people actually follow the ordinances of not bringing food, drink, candy in the sanctuary.
It's 75 here right now. Supposed to cool off some the next few days.

The only drink that comes in our sanctuary is water.....if food/candy is in it's usually mints, or goldfish (something a parent brings for a small child).
But you'd NEVER even know any of the above was in the sanctuary. People don't leave it. That's uber disrespectful.
Yeah. Here too. You never find the remnents of food or stuff in the sanctuary. Plus we have Bro Loyd on patrol. He is head usher and he sees you chewing gum or eating, he will have you get rid of it. He also keeps the kids from texting and playing with phones during church.
And yes Isaac, I know Ruby IRL. Very well. Her brother too. We may have "met" on this forum, but honestly, we rarely even communicate on here anymore.

It is. However we have people from some pretty rough lives that are still growing. Plus we had around 200 guests on Sunday. So many have no clue about respect in church these days.
Once, because she had seen other moms bring snacks like goldfish , she did not make a distinction and brought her child with some
sort of egg mcmuffin thing and a pop. :/ And moms here think they clean it up but there are still remnants. The idea that kids need a snack during church is stupid, especially when they get one in ss/nursery.
I'm really curious what the othet church cleaners of a congregation that size has to say?
Well we run around 275. I still have never heard of people bringing food/drinks to a church, visitor or not.
We have lots of visitors often too, not always savory lol, had a homeless lady for a while-at times disruptful but even she never brought food/drink.
Maybe it's the area. Although still think it's weird. Lol
I've visited the Graham's church up there and it's pretty large.
We have parents who sneak goldfish or cheerios in if they have toddlers. Otherwise the only thing is Grandma might sneak a mint from her purse. I'm the one who vacuums when it's my family's turn to clean the church (we take it by weeks here) and I rarely find food debris. There is a no-food-or-drink rule for the sanctuary, and if an adult sees a kid bringing in a can of soda or a snack he is free to remind said kid of the rule. Politely of course.
If you vacuum you can always tell which pews have kids though, even without food detritus. The floor has a lot more shoe-bottom stuff there.
Hmmm....my mama woulda slapped the taste out of my mouth if I'd brought gum in the sanctuary. :P She did let us have cheerioes, that kinda thing. Morning all. I am at work...feeling somewhat better. Still ain't one hundred percent, but much better than I was...
We dont allow food or drink in the sanctuary either.
In other news, its a wonderful rainy day here. I love rainy weather! (seriously)

Glad you feel better but are you ever 100% there? :hypocrite:
After meeting Roscoe several times, I would say hes at way below average in some areas, above average in others. All in all, i would say hes probably at a solid 60%. :ugly:

Glad you feel better but are you ever 100% there? :hypocrite:

Won't do any good...Seth hasn't been reading the thread! :up2:
I've been in my room laying in my bed all day. Not cause I'm sick, but because dad and I are arguing again, and he doesn't want me to do ANYTHING for him, so I'm not. AT. ALL.
I'm fixing to fix me a bowl of tomato soup to eat for lunch. But I'll eat in my room. In isolation. :smirk2:
They're not being mean just because you're sick. They're mean all the time. They're equal opportunity meanies.
My poor little brother-- they mistreat you something pitiful, don't they? Bless your little heart. I would give you a great big hug, but sorry honey, i don't want to catch what you have. Not that it would really do you any good, but you can always tattle to me. And if they didn't pick on you, you would think they were mad at you! And as for the solid 60%, i think you rate a little higher than that---let's say at least 85% possibly even 90. :wink2:

We had around 150 in church Sunday. Cheerios are allowed for the wee ones in the sanctuary.
I get along great with my ex-mother-in-law now. I hadn't seen her in 5 years. She goes to church again too. She was telling another lady in the restroom that she believes in the Apostolic Doctrine, but not for her because her hair looks 'bad' grown out. :roll: But it's ok. I'd honestly take her over Brandon's mom at this point.
Mom and dad left for a couple of hours today...and I discovered that Furby won't eat the gum even hidden in pieces of cheese.
I may or may not have let him have three pieces of moms gherideli (sp?) dark chocolate squares.
Now we wait.
:hypocrite:
Meanwhile...we had an awesome prayer meeting tonight! Wow! I personally broke thru a few things. :hyper:
Dark chocolate in moderation won't hurt a dog. Three squares of dark chocolate is... um... not moderation, especially given the body mass of said dog. I would be concerned.
Did you pray through and get forgiveness for trying to kill the dog? :hypocrite:
Nope.
If he actually does die, I'll repent. Otherwise I was just giving the dog a nice treat.

Can you truely repent over the death of said dog? Since repentence, I always thought, meant not only that you are sorry for it- (you wouldn't be) but that you won't do it again (you would should the need arise, especially now that you know it works)..I just don't see Mel feeling the appropriate twinges and convictions to repent. :biglaugh: :P :biglaugh:
Morning all. Even Oklahoma Nutbox. I is back at work...thank God it is my Friday. Sadly, it is misting rain. Bah. I hate rainy days. And last night, since I am sharing and venting, I was, as usual, sick as a green dog. Seems mornings I'm feeling decent, after noon to eveningish I feel like crud. This happened to be the time that the nurse for our new life insurance policies showed up to do a medical screening. Lord. She probably will recommend they not write the policy because I looked well past half dead. And to make my day worse, the vampire had to draw blood. I hate needles. Not a good thing. :cry:

Amen. Sometimes people say strange things like "It's too early in the day for chocolate." Frankly it's like they're speaking another language. I mean the individual words make sense, but when you put them together it's just gibberish.
Well...apparently chocolate is fine for Furby no matter what time of the day. He doesn't have so much as a drooped ear. :smirk2: and this morning, he is like an excited puppy! Jumping and prancing around happy and energetic. *sigh*
Guess I can mark that off the list.
Orbit gum
Chocolate
Any other suggestions?
Orbit gum doesn't work, try sending the dog into orbit? I could give you plans for making a ballista.

Leave the gate open. After the folks go to bed. Give him a head start. You know he wants one! You'd be giving him "freedom." (http://gfxlovers.com/smilies/imgs/girly/girly020.gif)
Drive him to the zoo. Toss him over into the lions' area. He never gets any socialization from other animals. (http://gfxlovers.com/smilies/imgs/girly/girly004.gif)
Zoo lions are apathetic. They never get any exercise, they just sleep until they are fed. He'd be able to get away easily.
I cant leave the gate open, cause like when he got out of the gate last time, it was ME who had to go look for him, eventhough I wasn't the one who left the gate open. Plus I had to hear mom whine about it and hope he wasn't dead and blah blah blah, the phone calls and the drives around the neighborhood looking for that stupid dog. Then when he was found, she spent over $300 to get him out of doggie jail, and all this other mess, and I had to drive her two towns over to pick him up and then he had kennel cough and she cried and worried over him for another two weeks till he got better.
No. Leaving the gate open won't work. He will just come back eventually.
It's better if he would die. In the house. So they KNOW he is dead, we can bury him, and that be that. They didn't care when my cat died. They didn't even tell me for three days, and let me wander around calling her name when they KNEW she was dead.
So I dont care two bits about this dog. I want him gone.
Wringing the neck always works. Brutal, but effective.
Hush Isaac...
I still can't help feeling sorry for the dog. Ain't his fault nobody raised him right.
Three of us feeling kinda yucky here today. Big weather changes make for bad headaches and pressure in sinuses. Icky. :-?
Spent a while lowering prices on the Trends of Bend clearance page. Up to 66% off the regular prices now. We shall see if it generates any new orders this week. I'd love to clear out some old stock before Lil' Bean arrives.
Also got a few more things cleared out/organized in the baby's room today.
:beret:
:waving: Made it home after a looooong day...Glad it is my weekend. Talked on the radio a bit, putting two new countries (Scotland and New Zealand) in my book of places talked to, worked on the 'vette until I got to the point of calling the chief designer names....when it started sapping my Holy Ghost it was time to stop... :biglaugh:
This dog really must DIE!!
Got home from church and he had ripped a trash bag and strewn its contents all over the living room. :smirk2:
Mom said: "he must have been hungry!"
I immediately looked at his FULL food bowl and told her he should have eaten his food if he was hungry.
She just pushed the garbage aside next to the wall, and whn I asked her if she was gonna pick it up, she said she would tomorrow. UGH.
So I cleaned the kitchen, and when the dog came in there to see if I would give him scraps, I proclaimed loudly "BAD DOG! NO! You are NOT getting anything! You already tore the garbage all over the place and it smells like cr.ap in here!"
A few mins later, mom came in the kitchen, got a clean bag and picked up the garbage off the floor. All the while talking in a low soothing voice to that wretched mutt.
THIS IS WHY HE MUST DIE!!
:frustrated:
In happier news, other than my anger at the dog, I'm in a fairly good mood. Saw all my friends at church, had a good service and I'm just in a pretty good mood.
Ya know... I generally like dogs. But this particular one......... ummmm...... I've never even met him, and I dislike him. :-\
We need to take up a chocolate offering for Mel. Surely mass quantities would kill said dog?!? *hopeful*
:beret:
shew
You do realize you will be blamed for the death of him... Even if he dies in his sleep on their bed while they are right there...
I say retrain him. I believe in you Mel! You can do it!
Or baptize him repeatedly. Then put him in the dryer.
Then your efforts resulted in a 66+% return on your investment of effort in ridding your area with opossums!

I got green baby Lima beans cooking! Yum! Smells garlicky and oniony in the house...I'm sure if Pastor is here at the church he is wondering what I'm cooking. Haha.
We are only permitted to cook on certain days, and when I can, I take full advantage of it and smell this place up!
So, what do you do on the days you can't cook?
Leftovers!
I was just imagining trying to hold a church service with the smell of lunch filling the air. If the preacher didn't hurry up on his own, the congregation sure would do its best to hurry him up.
In other news, 6,078! My music collection finally broke 6,000 with this batch of CDs I got from the pawn shop.
I should have a party or something...

Days they have church service, smells up the whole church. Lol
It is a magnificently beautiful day today. Packing to go out of town.
I am exhausted though. I'm about to put Nathan on a diet if that will alleviate his snoring. :/
Just make him sleep on his side. Everyone I know who sleeps on his back snores. Everyone I know who sleeps on his side doesn't.
Brandon snores more on his side than his back.
Starting to get nervous about surgery. I have to be there at 10:15 Tuesday morning.
We've had a rash of dogs being hit by cars here in Bristol. Mel, you should bring Furby up for a visit :freaky2:
He would be one of the ones who gets hit, lives, costs thousands of dollars worth of surgeries and therapies, then you would still have to get up and take him outside and hold his hiney up so he could do his business...and since mom won't get out of bed to let him out when he can WALK...just imagine what a mess that would be. :smirk2:
Yes. Melodya was correct...the smell goes thru the whole church, so we can't cook on days that we have church and stuff. We do eat leftovers on those days, or sandwiches, or stuff that you don't have to COOK. Just open a can or something and heat up. Or we snack for dinner, and wait till after church and go get something out. But lately that's rare cause money is tight.
The Lima beans were awesome! I had a nice sized bowl, and some cornbread. Yummmmy!
Oh! I forgot...I was gonna mention this for discussion/opinions.
Sonic has introduced green iced tea and some new flavors to their menu. Mint, blackberry, raspberry and mango.
So far I have tried the green iced tea with mint and I am SOOO ADDICTED. Wow. It's amazing! I dislike raspberry, and I HATE mango. Yuk! But I was thinking of adding a fruit flavor to my tea next time, along with the mint...any suggestions?!
Also...one day I'm gonna get a brownie blast with mint added...can we say THIN MINTS?! I can't wait to try that one.
Has anyone else tried the mint flavor in their drinks?
Well, I haven't been on here for a couple of days, but John :pound: :pound: :pound: :pound: No I am not the one with 15 kids!!! I am the smart one in my family--0 children. The closest thing I have to kids is a red-headed step-son who I love with all my heart and two dogs. The weenie dog, Chili, and a pit bull dog named Image. Speaking of dogs, my heart is really going out to the little one that Mel is trying to kill off. Poor puppy! Somebody save him!!!
You are welcome to come get him.
Chili is such a possessive little jealous outfit that he wouldn't take to that very kindly. He thinks we are his people. Sometimes i think we are lucky he lets us live here with him! :biglaugh:
Finally, FINALLY someone else who feels sorry for the dog! I knew there was something good about you. :cool:
On another note, I'll be in East TN this weekend. If I don't show up on the forum until Tuesday, that's why.
Bleh, shoot me.

Issac! A big box of CDs just arrived, and one of the first ones I saw made me do this: :D Thanks! Now I shall dive into the rest of them and see what other fun stuff I can uncover. :D
:beret:
Now I'm all curious which one it was that made you :D . But only mildly curious - I don't like to talk about the groups I don't like, because someone else probably gets a blessing from it and I don't want to ruin it by talking about why I don't like it.
If that doesn't make sense it's because it doesn't make sense, but I just got up and it made sense to me. So I'll just go with "cool, glad you found something you liked."
Beautiful, sunny & 70 here. :D
Warning!! RANT:
If you are too sick to attend church, then what does it matter who will be there? If you are sick, STAY HOME! But it says a lot when you are too sick to go, but find out someone special will be there and then "Oh its a MIRACLE!! I'm healed! I can go to church now!"
If I'm sick, I'm sick. I'm not gonna go just to see someone special.
And another thing that gets me, how do you know you will be too sick to go TOMMORROW? That's tomorrow! Why try diligently ALL WEEK to find out if someone will be there when you may feel just fine and it won't matter anyway! It's not like we will see them other than at church, so who cares when they get here!?
I'm fed up with this situation. It's fake. It's hypocritical. I'm tired of dealing with it EVERY. DAY. OF. MY. LIFE.
/rant
/me hugs Mel
But at least it's not YOU. And in the end, that's all you can control. You. Much as one might like to slap some people upside the head...
And it's official, the special people will NOT be at church tomorrow, unless by a miracle cause they are still at their house, 4 hours away....so I can ALMOST be sure enough to put money on that there will be another absence from church tomorrow too.
I am 98.999% sure of it.
*SIGH*
Isaac, you are correct. It's NOT me. I am thankful that it's not. God forbid that I EVER start acting that way.
/me hugs PF.
Thanks. I need a few at the moment.

It makes total sense. But I don't get offended when people dislike something I enjoy. Nor the other way 'round.
However... in this case... *sheepish grin*... it had nothing to do with getting a blessing. I saw the Susan Boyle CD on top of all the Christian stuff. :lol: I know, I know. I'm such a heathen.
Sean is going to be pleased to see the old Jars of Clay album. He told me recently that he wanted to check out some of their older stuff.
*HUGS* Mel... twice.
:beret:
Jars of Clay. Oh the memories..... That very first cd was so stinkin good.
*HUGS Mel and KICKS Furby and HUGS Mel again*
*HUGS* Heather and Ruby...twice. ;)
I'm in the foyer waiting on one of my kids to get here so we can go to WM and get stuff for the youth snack bar.
Oh, and classic Jars of Clay is awesome! Wish I had a few of those early CDs!

Wait, wait... so you're saying one of your legs is markedly longer than the other... or the others?

/me shoots everyone. :fire:
So what's new?
And by the way, howdy y'all. My sister's memorial party was supposed to be at 8:30pm Sunday... but then last Thursday we learned of the tree being planted at the school in her name... and then at about 8:30am (east TN time) we learned that Kathryn, her daughter, was going to be baptized at 11am. In the titles, sad to say, but it's a nice church with some nice people and a pastor who preached about being saved is more than just saying you're a christian, it's a relationship with God... and then he went on to list a few things that show up in a person's life if he loves God. If only he'd get the hang of the One God thing and getting the Holy Ghost I'd be happy about my niece going there.
But I was a good boy and didn't start any debates. I won't say whether it was difficult or not. :hypocrite:
So what am I doing up at this time of day? We left right after the memorial party Sunday night and right now I'm in Nashville, killing time, waiting for McKay's Used Books (and CDs) to open. :D

:fire: No. I don't have to take two steps into muddy gumbo to discover that I don't need to be there. Thus- one muddy leg. :P
Good morning. Back at work. And a special prayer request- I have a friend, Bro Wesley Jackson, who is an awesome preacher. Got word yesterday that his father, who was a former pastor and backslidden, had been killed in a motorcycle accident Saturday night. I know Bro Jackson will be taking this very hard- please pray for him. He is one of the most annointed young men I've ever met...

I'm not sure who it is that many of us are friends with that just started littering my FB newsfeed with hateful anti God posts but I I friended them. They didn't have pictures of themself and musta changed their name to that title. Is it Barb? Tricia?

Pretty sure it is Barb . Been sitting here debating unfriending it....hate to look spiteful and hateful but i don't want that on my newsfeed either.Tricia never has posted antiGod things that I have saw.

It's not spiteful when
1. She's not regularly on FB.
2. It's no longer Barb's FB page but an page dedicated to antiGod propaganda. When she changed her name to an idea rather than her, it's not her personal page anymore. Which I think is kind of counter productive really. If I believe in something and want to spread the word, I want people who know me to associate me with my passion.
Morning all!!! Well, I was supposed to go to school today,but it seems I have done something to my foot and can't hardly walk on it. I have no idea how I hurt it, but I guess I will wrap it up in a heating pad and take an anti-inflammatory and see if that works. Can't go to the dr. as my insurance ran out April 1 due to my job shutting down back in Dec. My husband is gonna add me to his insurance, but can't do so until June. Oh well, I'm sure it will be fine in a day or two. Everybody have a good day! :P
Morning Kim.

If you'd stop kicking poor Robert so hard, you wouldn't hurt your foot. :P
Well here we go again. I feel sick. Blah.
My stomach was upset last night, and I feel like I have a fever now. Not to mention the pounding headache and chills. Mom keeps this apartment pretty warm, but I used my sheet and two blankets last night...I usually don't even use covers, unless it's just a sheet, and I sleep with a fan pointed on me. But not last night. I was freezing!
Plus I think all the not being able to sleep the past week finally caught up to me. I took a nap yesterday afternoon, got up, went to WM, come home, and I crashed at 9:30pm. :o That is crazy early for me. Slept till 11:00am this morning.
So I guess I'm caught up on sleep...I just wish I didn't feel so crummy.
Mom and dad went out and brought me back a chicken. I boiled it and gonna make some dumplings to go with it. It's already got the apartment smelling great!
I took some tylonal and I'm drinking a coke. I also drank some coffee earlier, maybe all the caffeine will help the throbbing in my head. It's already gone down a little. I may lay down for a little while too. After I take this chicken off the bone.
I guess this is Mel-Mel's sharing day. Seeing how I'm the only one here.
I was going to post a few things, but suddenly I have nothing to say.
So. I just came to say, I have nothing to say. :updown:
:beret:
Well if you don't have anything to say, don't say it. ;)
*pounceHUGS* Ruby
Mondays are usually pretty busy, here. Today is no exception.
I barely made it home, and only by way of pulling over to the side of the road and lying down for a bit. Three times. So when I got home I promptly crashed. I think I slept wrong and snored, because my uvula was swollen and making me gag when I woke up. Hate it when it does that.
And there is a wasp somewhere in this room... it flew away from me and landed somewhere I didn't see, and now I keep waiting for that buzzing sound to tell me it is once more a-wing.
In other news, I scored a good 17 or 18 boxes of Schogetten dark chocolate, all Aldi had, for 99 cents a piece. :D
Yuk.
I dislike dark chocolate.
Milk chocolate is like coffee with cream and sugar - it's not the chocolate or the coffee you really like, it's the cream and sugar.
You're all a bunch of you know whats.
I also like coffee with cream and sugar. Mostly just cream, no need for sugar really, but I can and do drink it black sometimes. That's also yummy. But I can't take it pure black all the time. That's too strong. I need some cream, at least a little.
But I honestly don't like dark chocolate. Too bitter.
You say bitter, I say better, you say tomayto, I say tomahto...

I'm with you on the chocolate, Mel.
Glad someone agrees with me! ;)
So has anyone else tried the Mint at Sonic? Heather said she got an Oreo blast with mint, but they didn't mix it very well and all the mint was in one spot. So it wasnt very good.
Idk if I want to try it now or not. Lol
I don't know about Sonic's mint flavoring, but when I tried their blast it tasted weird. Then I found they make their ice cream with (acck, pfft!) lowfat milk. No wonder it tasted weird.
I do not like to do this, but after the weekend we had I'm going to have to reset my sleep schedule with the use of injudicious amounts of caffeine. It's either that or go to bed now and be totally messed up (no comments please) for second shift tomorrow.
I love chocolate. Dark, milk..doesn't matter. Don't just love white chocolate although I will eat it in a pinch.
Lou made Chicken fajitas....they were good, but surely heartburn and antacids shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the corner stall forever. :smirk2:
Had a cool ham radio moment...talked to a guy in Tripoli, Lebanon tonight. Just another country I shall never see, but they are having to hear Roscoe.... :P I need Seth to get his ham license. I have numerous Indiana folk on the air, and if he'd just get the license and the radio, I could drive him buggy even more than I already do. 'twould be cool from my side of the issue. :P
Everything in the front drivers side of Brandons suspension decided to fall apart. Thankfully we were right by our friends house and they let us park his car there til we cam repair it. Hes gona take my car starting tomorrow anyway.
Surgery is at 815 am. Prayers appreciated.
Praying Heather. *Hugs*
I'm going on a diet. Starting tomorrow. :)
Roscoe, that's plus 3 points. White chocolate isn't really chocolate. It's an impostor!
MellowYellow, that's when all diets start. Tomorrow. Tonight, we feast.
*Psalm_97 passes the chocolate.

Don't make me sound so mean, I would never kick my husband. :hypocrite:Although sometimes he could use a swift one! :biglaugh: i'm sure he thinks the same thing about me at times!
Maybe you could kick a different Robert... ;)
My life is fraught with unspeakable perils.
The downfall of sleeping so long last night is that all night tonight I've been wide awake.
I NEED TO GO TO SLEEP.
Not happening I guess.

I am back at work, toiling away in the salt mine. Woe is me........:cry: Supposed to have some bad weather today and tomorrow. We shall see.Nice and warm this a.m., but it DOES feel muggy and humid- definate storm weather.
gotta to clean a house
We are getting thunderstorms too today. I guess they had some over the wknd here with hail. Our garage doesn't fit our car and the trees don't have leaves yet really so I hope we don't have hail again!
The storms arent supposed to get here until after midnight. Then we may have hail and tornadoes and such.
We are right in the heart of the most severe threat according to a guy with a tin can as a rain gauge and a foil hat to protect himself from the mind control tornadoes.
Your weather man sounds more entertaining.
I forgot I was starting my diet today and prepped pork carnitas in the crock pot.
I'll start right after dinner. :hypocrite:
So THAT explains it...

It was 5:30am before I dozed off for the first time.
Ugh. Not good.
Anyone have an update on Heather? I am not familiar with how long that type of surgery would take?
I was wondering about her, too.
Wanna have some fun? :freaky2:

I am so done with ER rooms. Somebody please pray for my daddy. This isn't good. AT. ALL.
*sigh* I'm exhausted.
:beret:
Exhausted ain't no fun. I was planning to stay up late so I could sleep late so I could stay up late tonight for second shift. Instead I guess I didn't eat enough chocolate and crashed before midnight. Then I slept late.
Here's some free budget printables if anyone wants some. Just click on the picture and then copy the one you want and print it.

Heather said on FB:
QuoteOut of surgery. Gallbladder was very scarred. Having ALOT of nausea from the procedure. At moms house on the couch. Very, very sore.
Im out. It was definitely gallbladder. It was very scarred. Going under was much easier this time than when i was 17. Coming out was very hard. Ive been very nauseous. Went through 3 puke bags. My entire abdomen is sore. I took one look at my thread and decided i needed t wait til i felt better. Mom and Brandon have been troopers. Im currently laying on the couch and need help doing everything.
Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers!!
I was just fixing to come in here and update on Heather.
I didn't realize it was outpatient till a few mins ago when she text and said she was out. Wow. Seems like they would keep people for longer. I wouldnt want to go home that soon.
But did you get the usb port installed while you were there?
Hush Isaac...
Haha. Even Heather beat me in here. She posted while I was typing. ;)
By the way, I made an observation when I was looking through the CDs at McKay's. If you see a collection album - a CD with a lot of different singers, like those WOW albums - and you look at the back, and you already have all the songs on that album because you have the artists' albums those songs came on... maybe you have too much music.
Or maybe not. Probably not. :cool:
post post post. :demand:
One of the weather guys posted this on FB:
QuoteTemperatures right now across Texas range from 29 in Perryton to 103 in Zapata.
That's a heckuva range, Fuzzy Beast... :-\ I made it through another day at work. Yay me. Lord...I know I'm wishing my life away,as my mama used to say, but- ain't it the weekend yet?!?

I know. It's crazy. The wind is blowing like crazy here, so if you don't hear from me later on it probably means our Internet service stopped working again...
I am so done in. Oh the trials of life.
I still have to finish reading this thread.
Told ya.
:hyper: Well, the foot is all better. Went to school today and cleaned the bank tonight, so i guess i'm back to normal. Yes, even though i'm Roscoe's sister, i can be normal. Nothing against you baby brother, but for all those who might would have come back with a snide little remark seeing as they like to pick on you so much. I have to hand it to them though, they do a really good job!

She cleaned out the bank again?! :o
Okay, sorry, I know, I did that joke already... I still think it's funny. :cool:
Wednesdays Andrew's school has an hour late start. I know makes no sense but Nathan's breakfast is done, his lunch packed and I'm going back to bed! It's storming here, lovely sleep weather. 💜
I didn't go to sleep till after 4. Slept almost 2 hours and now George crawled on me. TWICE. I'm not afraid of him normally, but when he is in my hair while I'm trying to sleep...I am now terrified to shut my eyes again cause I flung him somewhere by the door and he ran off. He may try again and I don't want him on me!
*shudder*

Back at work with every anticipation of being half blown away today. Went to a ham radio meeting last night- alas, I have truely picked an old man hobby. Average age there was around 70 I would guess. Myself and the other 35 year old were the "kids" of the bunch. :biglaugh: It was enjoyable though, and I picked up some tips on learning Morse code....

I missed something....who in the blue blazes is "George"? :biglaugh: His real name isn't Kevin is it? :P
BOL! If Kevin is crawling on her, I have REALLY MISSED IT! Lol
Would have been a lot more pleasent then GEORGE!
George is the general name we give those huge cockroaches that fly.
Dear Lord. I'm still freaked out.
If Kevin was crawling on you I for one don't want to know it. :ugly:
:o
*shudder* That is positively horrid. And I would be freaked out too. :o
Now if Kevin finally came for you....... well, that would be another story. ;)
:beret:
I am not a girly girl that freaks out over bugs...but when they attack my head and are in my bed with me...UGGGGG *shudder*
That gives me the creeps.
And it happened TWICE.
Then when I got out of the shower, I was brushing my hair, I had it pulled up in one hand and the end of my pony tail swished my neck and I almost came UNGLUED. It felt JUST. LIKE. THAT. GEORGE.
It may be days before my nerves calm down over this trama.
Yup, I am definitely staying up here in Tennessee. The only George we have here is a mexican guy who goes to our church. Never did get straight on how to say his last name, but he ain't no roach.
Well spring was late, but it done sprung with a vengeance. Monday night I was using a blanket. Last night I was using the air conditioner. Feh. At least the blanket didn't use up so much electricity.
Tornado warnings here this afternoon. They put a lock-down on the school. They said they couldn't MAKE us stay there, but they really didn't want us to leave. No fear of me going out in it, I am terrified of tornados or even the chance of one. :shudder: And dear brother, normal is not boring. Every family needs that ONE person to be the normal, sane, level-headed one. Guess I took that job without even trying! :P
Seems like all we got was a little hail. It's not even raining now.
