Now Mel is down- who's next to find a mate? Let's speculate in sharing 488

Kim:  I'm sure he would be glad to trade a batch for something you have... say, a jar of apple butter perhaps?

Taco:  10-4.

Unrepentently asking for new FB fans for a friend of mine. Her husband has been out of work for quite some time now, and they've been desperately doing everything they can to stay afloat. They've already had their vehicle repo'd, and their house is soon to go as well. Their business page on FB is here: https://www.facebook.com/RedeemedPaper   If anyone felt inclined to go check out their stuff and become a fan, I would love it. She's extremely discouraged tonight.

[Chseeads]

Ugh.

*LIKE*

Morning, all. Prayed for Taco, will go check out the fb link....
It is raining. And rain and darkness jacks with my eyesight. Bah. And to make matters worse, during my clean-a-thon this weekend, I ripped some ugly vines off of my house and shop. They didn't LOOK like poison ivy or oak- but somehwere in there  it was hiding. And I didn't wear gloves. Now, I am going slap dab crazy and itching....

[Melody]

That's the only stuff I'm allergic to, Roscoe!  Poison ivy, oak and sumac.  You'd think I could identify all 3 but apparently they still occasionally illude me.

I don't understand why but cold pressed coconut oil helps with the itching. But so does Benadryl, like you wanna feel more sleepy.  LOL

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Morning, all.  I used to not be allergic to poison ivy when I was young.  I didn't even know what it looked like but a friend told me I was picking it when we were looking for plants for a science project...
But ever since I got some in a scratch, it'll get me now.

Meeting went well! Thank GOD! Will be able to see the doctors and specialist I need at no charge. Have to say though this program is an example of our government being to big and ruining a good thing. It was started by doctors donating their time to treat people who are working but can't afford or like me aren't offered insurance. Christian doctor saw the need and started it. Now, the government has stepped in and added hoops, red tape, and an Obamacare lecture to the process. Today, I learned it makes insurance "affordable through everyone getting a subsidy"... now I ain't great at math but even I can figure out "everyone getting a subsidy" will bankrupt America real fast.

[Melody]

Yep. The rich will still afford it as always and the ones on Welfare will still get it free. It's just ripping everyone that's paying their own bills off more. To the point that some won't be able to pay their bills and end up on welfare too. Totally ridiculous.

But don't anyone stop obsessively eating the junk that debilitates their immune system or anything. Smh

Even if we could afford insurance, we then most certainly could not afford the co pay and prescriptions bc it went to insurance payments.  The subsidy doesn't make it more affordable whatsoever.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

My friend that works at ORileys Auto Parts just lost her insurance because of this fiasco.

[taco_harvell]

Well last night our guy who has been leaving and moving stuff all around the church property came to prayer meeting. He said nothing except he huffed and puffed like a spoiled child who doesn't get their way and left after 5 minutes. Then I hear screaming outside. He was standing in front of the door yelling at someone walking down the road who looked scared and was trucking it to get away. When I opened the door he shut-up and left.

Then today I am at the church hear a knock on a door. (Mind you it's a Tuesday morning at a church with an empty parking lot.) I go out to find 2 guys loading stuff into a truck, including the portable basketball goal our youth sometimes use. I confronted them and asked what they were doing. They responded with "taking this stuff cause we knocked and no one said no". I made them put back everything I knew they got here then leave. I think they purposely broke the basketball goal though. Just glad I was here!

our new furnace was struck by lightening apparently.  It fried a connector and although parts are covered under warrantly we still have a hefty bill.      

Anyway....apple crisp is in the oven.  The  house is clean and everyone is at school/work so I get a few more hours of peace and quiet.   A rarity in this house lately.

[Melody]

That stinks Sarba!

Taco, that is so WEIRD. Why were they not arrested for attempted theft?! Where do you all live again?

A few yrs back there were a couple of thefts of copper from he AC units. They had the church men take shifts at the church until we got a video camera.

[Nelle]

Reading through my old personal messages gave me a few laughs!

[Newsman]

Keep offa' my lawn, you Young Pretender. I be the Grumpyest of the Grumpye!

John 

I've been the perfect grump tonight.

Salem Virginia... It was less hassle the way I felt just to make them put it back and leave.

There were various reasons from a few different pastors why they wouldn't marry us. Granted none of them could give me a good reason why they would accept my tithe and offereing checks for years in some cases but wouldn't marry us. It was a mess. A UPC pastor, a charismatic pastor, and non-denominational preacher. All were a stinkin no. Who's gonna marry us? A baptist pastor. Essentially the UPC pastor would only marry us if I were to move out [apparently into my car as I have no where else to go] until the ceremony, we BOTH showed up to all services [impossible for Brandon due to work and school], and/or I were pregnant. Oh and the fact that I was divorced. I however should have known better than to ask him as he's the same man who stood beside and supported my ex-husband through the divorce. The other 2 came down to saying they didn't have the time and we didn't have the money.

Work is terrible. Today as I was day dreaming of ways to kill my coemployees I realized that #1 I need to stop watching so much Criminal Minds and #2 I have to find a different job.

Forensic Files, Criminal Minds, same thing. 

[Roscoe]

Took some Benadryl. I'd forgot how it affects me. I'm as goofy/ drunk as I can be....weird, I'm sure. I don't like this stuff...

[Lynx]

Uh oh.  No telling what Chey will talk him into now.

[SippinTea]

Jason - that's insane!

Roscoe - Benadryl makes me go to sleep. No, it doesn't make me drowsy. It makes me SLEEEEEEP. As in, I'm not staying awake no matter WHAT. It's kind creepy, actually.

[Melody]

Roscoe, you didn't take the adult dosage did you?!   


So my husband is a good man.  A lot can be said for a truly GOOD man.  It's nearly 10:30 and we are finally home, kids in bed and Nathan is about to be done for the night.  After working late for days and days, and still making it to church, my car wouldn't start after church, actually after choir practice.  So in the dark, the pouring rain, the cold, without a jacket, my exhausted husband works on the battery.   Had to take it out, charge it and put it back in.  I think if it were possible, he became a little handsomer tonight.  I'm down right spoilt.    

[SippinTea]

Roscoe, you didn't take the adult dosage did you?!   

  Ya buncha meanies. I get no sympathy here...

[Melody]

Ok but in all fairness, you are probably everyone's favorite person on here. We pray for you/ your family and we believe in you.
