Melody itches but she's still alive, in SHARING 465

[MelodyB]

Where is everyone?

[The Purple Fuzzy]

I'm at work but wishing I was home.

[MelodyB]

I just talked to Mesi on the phone, quite by accident. Lol

[The Purple Fuzzy]

How do you talk to someone by accident?

[MelodyB]

Well see, I was meaning to text her about our upcoming possible meet-up on Sunday, so I went to FB and looked up her number. Usually when you tap a number on my phone, it brings up a list of options, like text, call, save number, whatever...well I tapped it and it called the number. Then it wouldn't get back to the call screen so I could hang up before it rang. It rang twice, and I hung up when I could, and was in the middle of writing a text to her explaining it was me and what I wanted, and she called back, so I answered.

It was an accident, but turned out to be fine. Lol She sounds like Rissa a bit.


I usually text someone for awhile before I call them. The first phone conversation at least.

[Chseeads]

I still have to catch up on this thread.


Picked the rest of the horticulture beans this morning.  Been canning.  Tended fowl as well. 

Continuing to can.

[MelodyB]

I think I'll make salmon pattys for dinner.

[Roscoe]

I'm here, albiet in a bit of a foul mood. The Corvette's is back togethe, thought the problem was solved- nope it still has a leak. Then, I have told Lou repeatedly that this year for Chey's birthday, which is today, I wanted to simply have cake and ice cream and have Chey's cousins and grandma over. Nothing big. Usually, we have a big cook out or a birthday party at the church and I wind up spending $100-$200.
I explained to Lou we went all out for chey's present, and had private school tuition coming up and I didn't want to spend what we had put back frivilously.
I come in from mowing the yard and discover every hot dog we have being cooked, along with half the family groceries I bought yesterday. In addition to the family, she's invited half the church. I am not in a very Godly mood. I'll have to spend the next week lining out the budget. And she doesn't see any problem. "We only have one child."

Yeah, and I'm not gonna be able to clothe and feed her if you keep this up.

Sorry for the rant, this is my vent place...

I saw Minnie at Oklahoma camp meeting last night, but didn't see my wife anywhere.. 

Odd week...wheeee.


John 

Yep, you did.

Im sure with that crowd of people, it was easy to overlook your wife.

In other news, I got a text from my pastor Tuesday or Wednesday asking if I could get a game together for the kids service today.  That in of itself is no problem, seeing we have a dozens on standby for youth, and many more we have did in youth group.  But seeing this was campmeeting, I wanted it to be the right one.  Talking with Chelleebelle, she mentioned two quickly, and after a little more thinking, we decided on one.  I felt in my spirit it was right.

We woke up early this morning, prayed for the kids service, and I prayed that I would be in Gods will for the game.

I walked into the Sunday School service, and they were doing today's service about the Olympics, and running the race.  And our game was a fun "race" between the boy and girls.  As soon as I walked in, I felt a conformation.  And it went awesome. (And the boys won, 59 to 53!)

[Chseeads]

It rained!  Yay.  And didn't blow my corn completely away, so that's good.

[Newsman]

If I come back through Illinois, Indiana and Ohio during the next three weeks, will I get tio see a billion ears of corn again?

[MelodyB]

SOOO...what should I make for the church potluck on Sunday? I need an idea.

[Melody]

Roscoe, I feel your pain, on more than one point.

I have the answer.

Family Fast.

I'm serious.  We have often fasted for more than one day so that we can afford to feed others in fellowship.  Both before a at times after bc it was spur of the moment.

I learned, bc my hubby "reasoned" with me, that I cannot get caught up in the social side of things irresponsibly.  I cannot think I of abetter way of driving that home than with fasting.  Especially as a family.  There was spiritual direction of course, because finances, marriage & fellowship... & how to handle them...    Are very spiritual.

Probably a good answer.   Truthfully, I am  more of a worrier than my wife and am fairly tightfisted. We weren't put in irrepairable financial harm, I just get ticked when things aren't done my way. I probably wouldn't have posted that had I not sat down fuming......
It went well. I actually enjoyed an hour or so of fellowship with a minister whose wife Lou is close with. Lou and the wife have known each other for years, but I've only met the minister in passing... they are in visiting family in our area, and for the first time, he was able to come over. He seems like a much more spiritual person than I- I'm trying - but a good man, and it did me good to have the time with him, to say nothing about seeing my dear pastor and mother of the church. Had Lou listened to me, I'd have missed that. So it was for the better. I'll go ahead and say it. I was wrong.

[MelodyB]

Wow.

[MelodyB]

I'm going to bed.

[Chseeads]

No...maybe a few hundred million.....draught has taken it's toll on crops. 

[Lynx]

I feel old.  I feel fat and aging and tired and achy and balding and grey and old.  I'm not sick, I'm not sore from a workout, nobody has been making jokes about me getting old, and I'll probably be over my bad mood by morning, but for now I just feel old. 

[MelodyB]

Why does it annoy me so much to wake up naturally at 3:57 when my alarm is set to go off at 4? It's just three minutes. Why do I get so aggravated at myself for waking up just three minutes early?

I really really have a problem with it. It makes me upset! Why? It's not like I can do anything about it.

I wake up, lay there and think "I won't look, I won't look" but curiosity gets the better of me and I look anyway, and for the past three days that I've had to get up at 4, all three times it's been 3:57. And I get mad. I really do. Why? What difference does it make?

I dont know what is wrong with me.

[MelodyB]

*crickets chirp*

[Melody]

So I asked Nathan if he could take his hotness down a notch so we're not all sweating to death & he said he couldn't.

Sorry guys, I tried. 


*Giggle* I think I need coffee.  I feel tired silly.

[Roscoe]

Morning all. It is warm here also. Lands sake, what to do today? Lou's off, I'm off, nothing major scheduled. Maybe time for a flea market crawl....

[Heather]

oh Lord my family is all home all weekend [minus my sister. if she were here too i'd go camp in the back of my car somewhere]. i hope i survive.

[MelodyB]

Headed to church. Meeting and youth this afternoon.

[Chseeads]

Heather, sorry you're still hurting. Sounds very similar to my knee issues. It flares up now and then when I do something I shouldn't have *grin* and then calms down again. Hopefully yours will clear up quickly. From personal experience, if you DON'T baby it, you'll pay for it later. I've learned that I HAVE to take it easy for a few days when my knee acts up, or I really really regret it later. It usually isn't that big of a deal if I baby it when it first starts acting up. Hope yours won't be a big deal for you either. *Hugs*

What is it with your family and knees?
