Plutonius, welcome to the forum. It gets like the Roman Forum around here sometimes. I do hope you're a bit thick skinned.;) It's always good to see fresh m.. um, ah, new vict... um, Members! Yeah, that's right, new members!:o :D (LOL)

Thanks, Angel, you really are an angel!:hug:

It was in the upper seventies today here in Lewiston. Thankfully, we had some rain last week. If this keeps up, the rain that is, it won't be so bad this summer. Otherwise, California is in deeeeep... um, trouble. Not much of a snow pack for summer water reserves.

[dinkime]

welcome!

tomorrow should be close to 80!?! and this is MARCH! it shouldn't be quite this warm yet

[Studeclunker]

Believe it or not, Lewiston is at the snow level in Northern California.

Shasta, one of our taller mountains, was covered with snow year round when I was a child. Now, it's bare to the summit by late June. Very strange... There is a glacier that's almost gone up there. In fact, most of the glaciers in California have vanished. We're just not getting the snow anymore. Kinda makes one take another look at the 'Global Warming' thing.:scratch:

I miss St. Louis. :cry:

I spent a couple of July's there. I loved it!!
I was at the 4th of July fireworks under the arch in '01. That was the largest crowd of people I have ever seen in one place. It took us three hours to get home... in Clayton!!!

Last time we were there in the summer was coming up on 3 years ago. Took in a little of the convention, visited the son who was interning at CPH, and a bit of sightseeing. Younger son and I walked over to the arch and it was rather warm! Ahh, memories!! All good other than the heat.

Time before that was a number of years ago, in the Ozarks. Going to try to get down there in about October this year. Won't be as hot and humid then.

T-shirts, shorts, and bare feet work well outside. That was my wardrobe of choice while I was there.

Sweltering in St. Lou? How about 120 and 80% in Redding, CA? We hit this four times last year. Crikey! I'd get out of the car and just about melt like a cheap sno-cone!:help: :swoon: You go bare-foot in Redding and you're risking second and third degree burns on your feet. I'm serious! the man-hole covers are dangerous! You can almost hear the trees crisp. And people around here(in Lewiston) ask me why I don't move to Redding...:doh:

I've been around CF today on and off. Yes, the weather has been good here and I've been busy outside doing things. My allergies will probably make me regret it later tonight though!!

Why didn't you go outside to play, Rev? :)

[Jim47]

It was nice here too. Bright sunshine most of the day, but supposed to have temps fall into 30's again tommorow.

I just hope its a little warmer this weekend. I have to work out in my barn again playing mecha'nic ;)

[dinkime]

i was busy all day, and i am finally home, the house is hot, so i just may be up late online trying to stay cool

[Jim47]

I'm not looking forward to hot weather. I've always suffered in the heat and now that I am an old man its worse. Anything between 50 and 70 is great :)

We don't have A/C in our house, so I know what you mean about waiting for the house to cool down so you can get to sleep. We were pretty lucky last year, had very few days that were ultra hot :cool:

Wow, love your outfit and backround! It reminds me of a vacation I went on with my sis-in-law, to Mexico.

You look purdy.

[Studeclunker]

Well, spring has sprung. The first butterflys have made their appearance. I noticed a type I've never seen before. They're barely 1/2 inch across and they have 1/8th inch orange spots in the centre of each wing. Just a tiny little brown butterfly that's really neat!:) I really like butterflys, they're one of the nicer gifts we recieve from the Lord.

There's been a considerable increase of ruby throated hummingbirds this year too. There's six regulars to my porch that have become downright tame. I like hummingbirds too.:) Another of the nicer gifts.

The temperature has been about perfect today. I've opened up the house to allow the fresh air in and the frusty air out. Forgive me, I feel like a song:

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood,
A beautiful day for neighbors...

[dinkime]

70s here again today -- rain came through so the humidity is WAY down!

[QuiltAngel]

Thought I would start preparing for my vacation, way the end of May. Am heading off to central Florida but will also be on at least one of the coasts.

With things like Easter (wonderful) then a trip for an anniversary which kicks off a very hectic 10 days (which includes the youngest's high school graduation) I thought I would put something up that is relaxing to the eyes for now.

We barely made it to 40 and have the threat of rain or snow. Guess I live too far north.

[dinkime]

well, what an eventful night!

coming out of the church building right before 7 (skipping church service tonight) my dad fell & caught himself on knees & arms/hands -- i took him to the ER -- at about 10:20 we find out he has a CHIP in the ball part of the shoulder joint!! a script for vicodin and a doctor he needs to call tomorrow and we made it home 4 hours after the fall....

[LilLamb219]

Ack, I'm really sorry to hear about him falling. I hope he feels better soon and begins to heal!

[seajoy]

Dinki,
I hope your dad's shoulder heals faster than mine has! :)

That's solid rock in the river bed at this point and no algae to be found so we were able to scamper across it in bare feet with no problem.

This was my favorite bed in the river. We could actually hear the water leaching through and dripping into the caverns, which means that some of this will not be there much longer. It will give way to gravity and God's surgical application of water. Very cool!

Believe it or not, we found the water source of this fork of the Little Red River was a few groupings of small springs such as these.
Who says the Earth is not dynamic? God set all this in motion with the wave of His hand. How awesome is that? ;)
How can anyone even think this was an all an accident? :doh: There is purpose in every minute natural process. Never a better engineer there was. :bow:

Porterross. A buddy of mine and I used to spend our weekends at the new roads they would cut through the cliffs and search through the different layers looking for fossils like trilobites and such.

One time we were sitting in the jeep and just talking with another friend and looking at our find. I had a bag of Planters peanuts and was sitting in the back seat munching on them and decided to play a trick on them. I found a whole roasted nut and sucked off the salt and gave it to them with the rest of my "find" and asked them what it was. They gave me all kinds of wierd answers like maybe it was a tiny dinosaur egg. When I finally told them what it was they decided that maybe they would leave me there and I could walk home :)

Did you guys know that 10 years ago I had hair down to my rear end? :)

The 3 worst parts are 1) getting it caught in car doors, 2) having people sit on it when you're sitting down on a couch and 3) having the back of the neck get all knotted when wearing a winter coat!

LOL:D on my 27th birthday I woke up with short hair. The day before, I had a pony tail that I would put down inside the back of my shirt and tuck into my belt. My hair has thinned and receeded considerably since. Not bald by any streach, still... thinner.:sigh:

[seajoy]

Samson? ;)

[seajoy]

Plus, with my OCD, it drove me nuts
Is there no end to the things we have in common??? :swoon:

[porterross]

Is anyone else obsessed with Wii tennis? I just finished 3 sets. I showed that computer who has the hardest virtual cross-court shot in the land. :mad: :P

[seajoy]

My son-in-law made me try his Wii bowling before I hurt my shoulder. I thought it was pretty fun. I even got a strike!

[porterross]

I stink at bowling, but my daughter is pretty good at it. The baseball is fun for a while, but I've knocked a few out of the park without trying too hard and the challenge level just isn't there like it is in the tennis game. I like to watch my opponents sweat and hang their head in shame when they lose. mwwaaahhhaaa

We have the Madden football game, but I'll have to move more furniture to play it. I'm afraid I might break something.

Oooo... I'd love to try the Madden football!
Now there's a sport. Everything else is a wannabe!!:P


Oh, and golf is cool, too. :D

[seajoy]

I gotta agree with DaRev, football is the best sport ever.

Well, get thee to Texas and we might let you have a go.

One slip of a chromosome and I'd have been one heck of a LB. I like to hit people!

I love golf. It is the best stress relief on the planet!

[LilLamb219]

Uh, Stude...was it a surprise to wake up to short hair??? Who cut it????

YIKES ;)

[QuiltAngel]

Guess I missed out on all the fun last night!

My boys are really into the Wii (ages 17 & 24), actually, they have all the Nintendo systems.

Now I hope that anyone who has hair long enough when they cut it off, donates it to Locks of Love.

I am sitting here, dealing with the allergies big time (going to see if there is somethinge else I can do to settle them down) and having to share a computer. Around here, that is and eeks. Mine is getting worked on as the moniter has an annoying thing it does and since it is a laptop, the whole thing goes in.

Have a great on everyone! Blessings

My son thought I was completely nuts...we didn't allow any video games as our kids were growing up.:eek: No xbox or handheld...nothing! :swoon: Somehow he survived, but when he headed off for college, along with his books, a gamecube was his first purchase. Well, he's graduating in May, so I guess it didn't harm him. I'm still glad we did what we did. He was kind of a couch potato at home.

Locks of Love :thumbsup:

Hope your computer gets fixed soon!

[LilLamb219]

We only have a PS2 and it has an Eye Toy device that can be hooked up to it which is really fun. My daughter loves playing Dance Dance Revolution on the PS2! She's so involved in other things that she only plays the video games about once a week for an hour or two. So, I really don't mind having it around.

[QuiltAngel]

Hey, I have been know to do Dance Dance Revolution! One can get some good exercies there.

[LilLamb219]

Oh yeah! It's a great workout if you can keep up LOL

My daughter has already gone through one Dance Pad (the up key went bad) and is on her second. I don't want to ruin her second one since it was a birthday gift from her aunt, so I stay off it. Not that I ruined the first one...she and her friends put a lot of hours on it last summer!

[QuiltAngel]

We tend to plug two pads in and go head to head. I really need to get back to having fun with that again. The one we have with the Nintendo has about 5 levels of difficulty. I tend to go on the next to the lowest.

[LilLamb219]

My daughter's friends bring theirs over to plug in! We've had some fun parties here :D

I'm at the beginner level. I can do it easily on the floor without the pad LOL But I just can't get the timing as exact as it needs to be on the mat!

[seajoy]

I guess I was pretty mean to my kids compared to you guys. :blush:
They still talk to me. :)

[LilLamb219]

Nah, you weren't mean. We didn't imply that at all. I just have one daughter...so we have money to spend on her. Also, I grew up with an Atari, and enjoyed time spent with my family playing the games. I wanted that closeness for my family now and sometimes that happens which is great :)

[porterross]

That's why I bought the Wii. I refused to have any other console in my house until it came out. We truly enjoy it . It was designed for the family and it certainly lives up to it.
Some of the games simply don't interest me and my daughter gets into her Zelda, which she's already beaten, but I will probably buy Rayman for my birthday so we can take on the rabid attack bunnies! The sports games are my fave, of course, and they put up a decent workout so I have not regretted the purchase one bit.

[QuiltAngel]

No you weren't mean seajoy! The fact that your kids still talk to you is testamony to that.

My kids had to earn the money to buy any of theirs. Paper routes, summer jobs, etc. My oldest was into the computers, programming and such and the games were kind of an extenstion of that. Plus, they did not get into those games that are controversial. The Sims, Zelda, Mario were the ones they really got into, lots of strategy and planning. None of the graphic shoot em up types.

OH I cannot stand the violent video games at all!!

This week I took part in an online survey that asked about video games and I rated all the violent ones POOR and stated I would never buy them :) Hopefully I'm not the only one to do that in the survey!

[C.F.W. Walther]

I use to watch my gradson play "Grand Theft Auto" and told him to quit playing the game as I thought it was atrocious. It brought the worst of human elements. Random killings and mayhem and crimes against humanity and police. Were's the site. I'd like to put in my 2 cents worth.

Oh, it wasn't on a site per se. It was through a survey company I signed up for. I do surveys to make some small cash and earn points on other sites so I can turn the points in for gift cards :)

[C.F.W. Walther]

Yea I did that a couple of years ago. Must have been the same survey group. Never did buy anything. I just wanted a "sayso" in surveys. Let it go by the way side when I started looking for a wife. Should have keep up my survey instead :)

Well, there you go. Next time, wait for God to drop the right woman on your head. You know what they say...."when you least expect it".

[C.F.W. Walther]

Yea I guess but waiting is getting to be a premium at my age. I also have "skads" of ladies to pick from out here. I can name two........uhh maybe one........ok, none. Hmmm.....God's gonna have to pick someone up somewhere in the radius of 50 miles and dump them in my lap.

[seajoy]

Rad,
Maybe one will get lost in the woods....you never know. :) And you don't have 6 other dwarfs to contend with, either! :hug:

Sorry, that wasn't nice of me.

Hmmm. LOL:D Well if that's the case, since it's been twenty years, I can only assume that the Lord doesn't want to inflict me on some poor unsuspecting woman.;)

By the by, good morning everyone. I've got the kettle on, anyone for a cuppa? I'll be mother!:wave:

[C.F.W. Walther]

I need my V8 boost in the morning. Don't eat very many veggies so I need all the help I can get.

[porterross]

Vitamins, Rad. Veggies are something I have to force myself to eat throughout the day.
Cookies are so much more convenient!

[C.F.W. Walther]

I get creative when I do have to eat them. I turn my frying pan into a wok and hope everything doesn't burn. A little dash of soy and lots of butter. Coupled with a steak I couldn't ask for anything better.

I can't keep any carbs in the house othewise they make me feel like a magician and I try to make them dissapear instantly. If I do go into a carb frenzy I get semisweet bakers chocolate and gorge...............

[porterross]

I do love salads and raw veggies, but it seems when I buy them with the intention of eating more at home, they go bad.

[LilLamb219]

Yum! Veggies :)

We eat a lot of veggies around here since my daughter doesn't eat meat! So, we have lots of salads, stir fry (cooked with olive oil), baked eggplant, and bags of baby carrots! Our dog is on a diet so the vet told us to feed her baby carrots instead of treats. It's working...she's lost 2 pounds :)

[C.F.W. Walther]

All this talk about food is making me hungry. I got some pork steaks out in the frezzer that need some attention. I think a BBQ is in order since it is gonna get up to 73 today.

Where's the briqettes..................

[porterross]

Eggplant!?! That's possibly worse than okra. :sick:

[C.F.W. Walther]

That's okrie.....thought you were Texan :)

my worst experience with food was when years ago my mom boiled up some of the "stuff". She served it in a bowl with a laddle and started to serve it up to us. We all declined. It ooozed out of the ladle like snot...........big long, slimey.............well nevermind

Is anyone else cooking lamb for Easter? I'm going to attempt a shoulder roast now that my rosemary is blooming and I have replenished my mint jelly supply.

I used to eat tons of cookies and cake, but that had too stop, now my biggest weakness is ice cream.

I haven't had lamb since I was a kid. My neighbors used to raise them. I think they only cooked the old bucks cause they were so tuff you could hardly chew them. I love wild game, nest comes fish and chicken and turkey, after that beef. Don't care much for pork, but my bride does so we eat it often enough ;)

[C.F.W. Walther]

Well the BBQ was a sucess----at least I thought so. Found the hot sauce with cayenne and garlic in it and added it to the BBQ sauce and......walla....epicurian delight. Now I have to restock my hot sauce. 2 weeks ago I had ten bottles........now I have 2.

Now to light up a cigar and all is right with the world.....hmmmm

Uhh, don't blow yourself up after all that hot sauce! :eek: ^_^

[dinkime]

we had soup for dinner -- at church!

i haven't had lamb for easter, ever! we always have HAM -- ham for easter & christmas, turkey for thanksgiving, sometimes even a little ham on thanksgiving as well because my brother loves ham

[LilLamb219]

We usually have ham for Easter as well.

Does anyone ever go out to an Easter buffet instead of staying at home? We haven't done it in years and I asked my husband if we could this year and he didn't feel like it (his wallet said no).

[dinkime]

no, we eat at home...once we ate out on thanksgiving, and i guess we could at some point for easter as well...

[cubanito]

For your neck: get yourself a neck pillow, and never sleep sitting up. Additionally, inquire about neck traction, preferably intermittent.

Traction dosen't work for the rest of the spine, but it is great for the neck.

Just woke up after a 14 hour sleep. It's how I get over minor throat aches and colds.

Yea, Holiday Inn serves a pretty nice spread for Easter and a place called Bevo Mill. I've taken the family to both. Pricey but worth it. Excellent fair.

[Flipper]

I've had Bevo for Thanksgiving once, but not Easter. That's a great idea. We've been looking for a new place to go for brunch. Thanks!

We do brunch with my family, and a ham dinner with his.

Spent most of my evening in a kitchen. We do Meal Makers, which is a place where you go to prepare a bunch of entrees at once, and then bring them home and freeze them to have for dinner over the next month or two. It's been a lifesaver for us. I can have dinner ready in 20 minutes and it's tasty and healthy. It also keeps us out of the restaurants, so in the long run we save money (even though the upfront is rather high). I just take something out of the freezer and put it in the fridge the night before, and it's ready to cook when I get home from work.

We've gone to a few halls that have had brunches and also a fancy schmancy place for the arts that was exquisite! :cool:

[dinkime]

usually i do jell-o eggs, but they have not been working right lately, so it will be a bowl or 2 -- probably 2 so one can be sugar free

[seajoy]

Good idea, Dinki.

I made fish for my hubby tonight...he said it tasted "fishy".............what the world does that mean? :scratch:

[dinkime]

hmmmmmmm

fishy tasting fish.....who knows?!?!

[C.F.W. Walther]

that sounds fishy to me

[seajoy]

[DaRev]

I never made it to the Bevo Mill. I drove past it numerous times... but never stopped.

Kind of a neat looking place, though. And it's only open at certain times if I remember right.

Did you know it is exactly half way between the brewery and Grant's Farm?

That's supposed to be the story. I thnk it was August A Busch Sr that built it for that reason.

I do a modified form of this. Not Meal Makers, but so-called "investment cooking (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=investment+cooking&btnG=Google+Search)". It's like once-a-month cooking but not so involved. I make an extra chicken when I roast chicken, or I make a crockpot full of chili one weekned, and a crockpot full of pork and kraut the next, and freeze them in one-serving containers. That way we always have about four-six different types of meals in our freezer, for when Hunter comes home late from school, or I'm rushing to get dinner between coming home at 5:30 and going to church at 7.

Since it's only the three of us (and Gem won't eat anything but PB&J or chicken nuggets anyway), it's easy for me to do.

[dinkime]

they were closed for awhile, but recently reopened

I'll do that too - like if I see boneless chicken on sale, for example, I'll buy a bunch, cook a bunch of it up, and freeze it - then I can just thaw out what I need and throw it in something. Same with lean ground beef. Every Fall I keep saying I'm going to cook up a bunch of stock and freeze it, but it never happens.

With MealMakers, I can get 12 half sized meat entrees (usually three pieces of meat in each entree, unless it's shrimp or scallops, then it's a bunch) for about $160.00. That runs about $13.00 for each entree, and I'll keep the sides simple, like frozen veggies (easier to control the salt) that get warmed up, and minute brown rice (that I cook in low sodium broth or stock to give it more flavor). The meat is fresh and good sized and good quality. I am very comfortable fixing it for company. When we look at dinner out costing an average of $30-$35+ for the two of us, and the added calories in what we usually eat when we go out, this is a steal - and a lot of the time, the food is just as good, and definitely better for us.

I enjoy it because I like going to the different stations with the ingredients already laid out, and you can put it together the way you like. My husband likes going with me to help because it reminds him of chemistry lab with all the measuring devices. We have it down to an art, when it's the two of us, we are in and out in 45 minutes.

If I has more imagination and time to plan it myself, I'd try to do more of it at home. There's also something on Food Network that shows you how to make three separate meals out of one that you put together on a Saturday, or something like that.

[synger]

... There's also something on Food Network that shows you how to make three separate meals out of one that you put together on a Saturday, or something like that.

I saw the commercials for that. I have a cookbook like that, called the Monday to Friday cookbook (http://www.amazon.com/Monday-Friday-Cookbook-Michele-Urvater/dp/1563057484), where you cook enough meat for three meals.

I'm just not that organized during the week. ^_^ Our schedules don't allow us to sit down as a family for dinner very often. So by the time I get around to making the second meal, the meat's gone bad. So now I just do the freezer thing.

[LilLamb219]

If I try pre-cooking my meals ahead and freezing them, they usually don't taste as good as when I freshly cooked them (and I have expensive Tupperware containers!).

[dinkime]

we don't have the freezer space to prepare meals in advance...

Try training your husband better. As per the Hippo there on the upper right, I am the family disposal, rummaging for leftovers.

Of course, this could lead to further uncouth behaviour.

Today my wife had one of those pretentious "friends" over. So they sat in the living room for over an hour comparing jewelry and just being utterly, oh how shall I put it, "uppity?" She does this infrequently, being normally a more "real" type woman. But today she really went at it.

So I was on the other side of the house, shirtless as usual. She has told me not to walk out bareshirted in front of her friends before (my C-cup sized hairy breasts must be covered, you see, as I have gynecomastia as an inherited trait).

Well, I spot my 10 yold's bright pink ballet tutu, some Barbie knock off made from the gaudiest possible synthetic fiber that has been heavily used in so many imagination games for the last 6 years and has DEFINITELY seen better days (not that in it's prime it was anything but gaudy, even by 5yo standards).

So I get my eldest daughter to tie this drooping tutu around my neck, effectively covering my ample hairy breasts, but not quite my ample hairy belly and cavernous umbilical vestige. For dramatic effect I also don the unicorn hat. Think lots the head of a unicorn done up in sparkles that one wears as a hat.

Upon strolling through the living room in my best straight face, my wife's friend is audibly startled.

Well, I sleep alone tonight.

It was worth it.

Today my wife had one of those pretentious "friends" over. So they sat in the living room for over an hour comparing jewelry and just being utterly, oh how shall I put it, "uppity?" She does this infrequently, being normally a more "real" type woman. But today she really went at it.

So I was on the other side of the house, shirtless as usual. She has told me not to walk out bareshirted in front of her friends before (my C-cup sized hairy breasts must be covered, you see, as I have gynecomastia as an inherited trait).

Well, I spot my 10 yold's bright pink ballet tutu, some Barbie knock off made from the gaudiest possible synthetic fiber that has been heavily used in so many imagination games for the last 6 years and has DEFINITELY seen better days (not that in it's prime it was anything but gaudy, even by 5yo standards).

So I get my eldest daughter to tie this drooping tutu around my neck, effectively covering my ample hairy breasts, but not quite my ample hairy belly and cavernous umbilical vestige. For dramatic effect I also don the unicorn hat. Think lots the head of a unicorn done up in sparkles that one wears as a hat.

Upon strolling through the living room in my best straight face, my wife's friend is audibly startled.

Well, I sleep alone tonight.

It was worth it.

Thanks for the visualization. :doh:

Anyway it was funny ^_^

I respectfully decline to comment on the grounds that I may incriminate myself.

I think that's a VERY generous representation of what he described. ^_^

[QuiltAngel]

Much cuter than I was imagining!

[LilLamb219]

Maybe he's a cute guy? We'll give him the benefit of the doubt :)

Hey...he described himself! :D

So true. So true.

As do men and children or is that redundant? :P

I see driving in city traffic has brought about road rage. Relax. I've cooked a roast and have brown rice and broccoli to go with it. Cheesecake for dessert? ;)

I wasn't driving in the city. Ambler is still nearly a half hour out of Philly, and is quite rural.

You are making me hungry... it sounds very good.;) :thumbsup:

But, I'll pass on the cheesecake. Too many calories. :D

It's nice to know there is still some undeveloped land up yonder.

Well, it rained all day and I enjoy cooking when I have time, so after church we were challenged for things to do. Food seemed the logical indulgence.
Instead of cheesecake, have fresh fruit and cream instead. I do either that or have some dark chocolate chips with a bit of whipped cream or pudding. Satisfying but not too indulgent. :yum:

Oh, and if that's not tempting enough, The Ten Commandments is in the DVD player. ;)

I make a decent chocolate cheesecake, Rad.

How was that lady-friend of yours today?

Dunno--------I'm just keeping a low profile and not encouring anyone. I think it's too early. Even though my X is history I'm still not over her. It's only been 3 months since she left.

How hamans can dissolve a marriage so superficially is beyond me. Nobody honors God's wishes and takes it too lightly. It's a throw-away society.

SHe's Lutheran and doesn't think she has done anything wrong.........sheeesh.

That's unfortunate and sad. I agree with you that civil law makes it too easy to disregard God's law.

I don't know the details of your situation, Rad, but 3 months is no time at all. Time to heal is critical, just don't let so much time pass that your heart is allowed to harden. :hug:

[C.F.W. Walther]

Only God and Jan know what really happened and neither of them are telling me.

[Studeclunker]

Porteross, you sound like my kind of girl. If that Brit of yours doesn't get off the pot, I just may come out there and run off with you(LOL)!:D I love the entire menu (yum!). Just the kind of thing I'd make up for myself. With just Nana and myself here though, I'm afraid that it'd be the menu for half the week!:D

Rad, time is what you need now. Keep the lady at a distance. If the Lord is willing, when you're ready she'll be there. Otherwise, it would have been better avoided anyway. Then again, who am I to be giving advice here? My wife died almost twenty years ago and I'm still single. Though, maybe that's a good thing (for any poor long suffering woman that is LOL:D)...


Don't worry though, Porteross, I was just kidding about running off with you. Well....

[porterross]

Don't worry though, Porteross, I was just kidding about running off with you. Well....

And I was already packing. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k101/pocolocogal/sad.gif


I simply don't know the answer to where God wants me or if He even means for me to be a wife again, but things in England are seriously fractured and I still don't understand why, but I trust that God does. I leave it in His hands. :pray:

[seajoy]

Sorry porter. That must be difficult.

[seajoy]

I just came back on here to wait for my pain meds to kick in. I can't sleep at all. I hurt so bad tonight.
Both hubby, and the beagle are snoring away so blissfully. :sigh:

[Studeclunker]

What a priviledge to carry everything to God in Prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit; Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer!


There are times I wish the Lord would answer in a way I could hear more clearly. :scratch: Then again, a thunderous voice from the heavens:eek: would probably have me hiding under my bed!;)

Well, since we're both up, how about a cuppa, Seajoy. I'll be mother. Do you like licorice? There's a box of Stash Licorice in the cupboard. It's about the only herbal tea that I'll drink.

Sorry, I don't care for licorice. Something stronger tonight, perhaps? :(

Taking everything to God in prayer...you said a lot right there. :)

[QuiltAngel]

seajoy,
praying you were able to get some much needed rest and relief from the pain tonight.

Sorry about the pain there SeaJoy. It gets really old doesn't it. :sigh:

I know what I do to make my pain pills kick in faster, but its not Doctor recommended ;) so I couldn't tell you, but I'll remember a prayer for Ya. :hug:

Thanks Jim. The pain is actually worse this morning. I only slept for 3 1/2 hours. Hubby is giving me the day off.
How do you get those pills to kick in faster????? :)

[LilLamb219]

Seajoy, how are you doing? Think you might be able to catch a nap later today if the pain dissipates?

[seajoy]

Hope so Lambie. I guess in the fibro world they call last night, and today, a flare. More like a fire, I think.

[C.F.W. Walther]

Get some rest sis

[seajoy]

Get some rest sis
Trying! :)
I don't think I'll be able to sit at the computer much. Wish I had a lap top.

I'm just doing a few calls from home today for work. But I need to get bills done, too. :sick:
