So yeah. I'm awake. Earlier than I want to be cause I have been getting texts all morning...but it's ok, normally this person isn't really talkative anymore, so her texting me a lot, even in the morning, is welcome.

My neck is killing me though. It started hurting last night a little, and this morning it's BAD. I'm not sure what I did to it.

We have Youth service tonight. Gonna be great!

Thought I'd say hi, I've been lurking hehe

Hey Nic!

I got a question for ya, I've been meaning to ask but keep forgetting when I am "elsewhere"


I have been hearing stuff about that FaceBook was banned in China, is it not banned in your area? You are on FB all the time. Justin and I were discussing it, and he mentioned you...I didn't even know he was paying attention enough to know you were even over there! Lol

Lady Melodya,

   I'm guessing our Feathered One is referring t a term for hepatitis, which can be obtained by the unclean needles of drug users, in a reference to the ongoing allegations of 'alternative lifestyle' you are being accused of.

ew.  That'd be intense, even for Seth.

You may recall my dog died a few days ago.  So today I went to the humane society/pound/animal shelter... the have-a-pet-leave-a-pet-need-a-pet-take-a-pet place... to get a couple of cats, which I have been wanting for some time.  As soon as I walked in the door I knew I was in the right place - good grief, what a smell!  They had ever so many kittens and a few adults too, but I finally chose a momma and her kid. 

Due to local circumstances beyond my control they will be outside cats.  I had already acquired a litter box, litter, food, animal carrier and a big tent-like outdoor cat cage, in which they are currently lounging.  When I was growing up we always had a cat so I know better than to just turn them out outside.  They will stay in the cage for a good two or three days at least, until they get the idea that this is home.  The litter currently in the box should be good for that long.  I gave them a can of tuna as a welcome-home present. 

My remaining dog seems afraid of them, and they don't pay the dog any attention at all.

I haven't yet decided what to name them.  They are both mixed white/black, patches of white, patches of black, all over.  I am going to give them real names though, not "Mittens," "Fluffy" or any of the traditional cheesy cat names.  Maybe I'll just name them Cat and Cat - what's the point of naming an animal that won't come when you call it? 

Chel and Fuzzy, as Grandma is currently in Texas I ask you to please not tell her about the cats.  She won't mind if they are outside, but I want them to be a surprise when she comes back.

That made me laugh so hard!

In other SHARING news, the four Jackson Mass Choir albums I ordered more than half a month ago finally came.  Worth the wait.  So yeah, my cup currently runneth over.

MellowYellow. I read your post and looked up oil of oregano. I'm sure you've researched it, but from all I found it's actually dangerous. Small amounts like in oregano we use for cooking isn't harmful, but I've found no scientific proof that it has any health benefits and only proof that it is harmful. Please be careful if you are going to continue to use it.

The brother got engaged today.

I'm spring cleaning. Or rather summer cleaning I suppose.
Parents are in OK, so I'm relishing in this day of quiet time. Well quiet as in no people. My music's been blaring at top notch all day. haha

Oh your what?

Challenging time.

Mom is not doing well at all, still in hospital, 3 1/2 weeks now.

I've been more ill than normal.

Brother who assisted me in much of the financial and accounting side of the church unexpectedly quit. Though I'm training another brother, but it still looks like an extra half hour on Sundays, often in a timeframe I don't have that much time to do it.

More work than normal related to church Sunday.

Supposed to leave on vacation Thursday, early..

Thank you, you are very sweet, Ashley. ☺ I appreciate you taking the time to look into it for me also. 

I have researched it. I lean strongly towards hollistic medicine which science hasn't even begun to catch up with so what's accepted to much of modern "science" doesn't necessarily impress me, especially when it's not that they can disprove it, they just can't "support" it.  The same modern science that approves meds that literally pacify one thing while still destroying your body in another.  The same science that gives out one information as Fact one year and turns around and says the opposite the next.  But that's me.  People can agree or disagree, it's my journey. 

It was strong for me.  The side effects are slight rise in blood pressure temporarily, as with all spicy food.  And upset stomach, if it's too spicy for a person.  I had no upset stomach.  It was too strong for me though, that's what the drama was about.  And I had fasted thinking that it would be better absorbed. 

Essence oils are very dangerous if not taken with a carrier oil.  So one would have to ask themselves if this danger was from idiots not following directions and what other variables before lumping it all in against something.  The same for anything.

[Lynx]

Newsman:  Yeah, just in the last couple of months we've had a few people in key places quit too.  Puts a bit of a load on the remaining people.

Sunday School superintendent and wife (major loss!)
SS teacher
Two of the five church clean-up groups
Drum player
Youth pastor and wife (major loss!)


The first and last ones are tough to cover, they did a lot.

I give up....I quit.....I am done...... I have had enough.......I don't matter anymore.

Well I'm technically not "in China"... HK is governed separately to China. It's a bit more similar to Puerto Rico or something, which is "owned" by the US but is governed separately... clear as mud? But we can get FB here obviously

[taco_harvell]

Praying for you John.


I would gladly pay for 3 hours of good sleep!! If anyone knows how to make that happen let me know.

[Newsman]

Ye, you DO matter, Lady ISG! 

Issaac, I hope your church comes thru it all well!

Thanks, Jason!

I'm teaching today beginning in Isaiah 55:1-3.
