Morning Scott! Coffee is on. :)

[seajoy]

Maybe he doesn't drink coffee :confused: :)

[C.F.W. Walther]

coffee------a good cigar-----and donuts when I get to work-----what more could you ask for-------ahhhhhhh

[Renatus]

Hehe, sounds typical American for me. ;)

[seajoy]

Hehe, sounds typical American for me. ;)
I've never even had a cigar....lived in America my whole life! :D

[Renatus]

I've never even had a cigar....lived in America my whole life! :D
Me too concerning to the cigar, but all things together sound very American. I wouldn'd buy any donuts, sooner a croissant, it remembers me of American films, the typical food for the policemen. :D

[dinkime]

i will not smoke anything -- i watched my grandfather die of emphasyma, so nothing crossing my lips!

You've watched too much TV! ^_^

[Renatus]

You've watched too much TV! ^_^
I know :D
But I still wasn't in the U.S.
Maybe I watch too much Simpsons.
If I remember on American movies, I notice, that I have watched a lot of them, so my imagine of the USA is very biased. ;)


Edit:
However, in my age-group in school I am one of the few people, who have a good view on the U.S.
The most have a negative one, especially because of the politics.

[Melethiel]

I like croissants. I'd take those over a doughnut any day.

Yes, the best are the croissant with chocolade. ^_^
Now, I'm hungry. ;)

That is sad. :( Perhaps you could tell them of some nice Americans you have met. :)

America is not like Hollywood. I met some people from Europe while on vacation to Florida last year. They too said the USA is not well liked. They were surprised my husband and I were nice (their words). They thought all Americans were like TV. :sigh:

I told them to go back and tell people we are just regular folks. :)

[Melethiel]

I prefer croissants with jam. :yum:
Now I want a croissant, and I don't have any. ^_^

I will do that, but I don't know if it works. They are connecting American international politics with the normal American too much.
Many in my age-group are very socialistic, so the "evil" captalistic America is a good enemy for them. They have many prejudices, but I think if they go to the U.S. they will see the truth. Fortunately we had American history in the Abitur, so many of them have wondered, what prefedices they had. Hmm, now I remember, I also have to learn that nest week.
If they ever go there, I anyway want to anytime in my life. :)

I hope I will see some flying police cars, which explode and many gunfights on the streets. Maybe I will go to area 51 to watch some aliens. :D

Now I want a croissant, and I don't have any.
I also don't have one, but my family make a barbecue this evening, so it's not clever to eat something. There only will be trouble if I don't eat something. :D

[synger]

*sits down with a cup of coffee* Ah, that's better. The kids will be coming in about two hours. The birthday cake is iced and ready, the balloons have been blown up, and the deck swept and prepped. The bubble machine has been checked (much to the general amusement of the cats), and the goody bags have been stuffed.

I need a drink. *laughs*

If nothing else, we have a fairly clean house now. There's just so much CLUTTER it's annoying most of the time. And with my hour-and-a-half commute to and from work, I just don't have the time to keep up with it like I'd like. Fortunately, Hunter is good at picking stuff up, so long as I give him some direction (without nagging -- it's a fine line).

It should be fun. This is Gem's first "real" birthday party. The previous ones have been mostly family and our friends, rather than kids her age. Now that she's in kindergarten and gymnastics, though, she knows more kids, so this is gonna be just five-seven year olds.

[LilLamb219]

Ooooh High Energy party!!! Hope you survive ;)

[C.F.W. Walther]

I hope I will see some flying police cars, which explode and many gunfights on the streets. Maybe I will go to area 51 to watch some aliensLOL--that's funny :)

I have some friends comming from England in June. Hitch a ride with them :)

[QuiltAngel]

I have found that the exchange students think they are going to live in cities, party all the time, Americans are all fat and lazy. They get much of this from t.v. and American news.

When my daughter was in Germany 4 years ago, she had to change host families and Gymnasium. At her new one, they were trying to guess where she was from, they finally settled on Poland for some reason. They ruled out the USA because she was not fat.

She also had a hand in breaking down stereotypes while there. Such as Christians are not very tolerant, they found she can be very tolerant.

[KagomeShuko]

When it comes to rap, I rarely listen to it. Sometimes I find some okay stuff. I do like Agape. Yeah, I listen to him mostly and then even rarely other Christian rap, though that way I don't have to listen to tons of swearing and insults.

[KagomeShuko]

i will not smoke anything -- i watched my grandfather die of emphasyma, so nothing crossing my lips!
I won't smoke anything, either. My maternal grandfather used to smoke, but he quit a long time ago - still has the cough at times My maternal grandmother died of lung cancer and she smoked My uncle (my mom's sister) had paranoid schizophrenia and he constantly smoked and died of arteriosclerosis. My paternal grandfather smoked, but he quit once he heard cigarettes were bad for health, so that was a long time ago. He died just due to normal complications of aging.

[synger]

I smoked cigars for a time, in college. But at the time I was fairly serious about my music, and they started messing with my voice, so I stopped. Never tried a cigarette. My dad smoked them most of his life and is now using oxygen due to emphysema.

The birthday party went well. The weather held long enough for the kids to play outside on the new playset, and decorate it with sidewalk chalk and washable paint before the rain came in. One of the moms and one of the dads stayed for the party, and it was very nice to sit and visit with them.

[Melethiel]

I've got a mild sunburn. Not enough to hurt, but enough to see the lines where the straps of my shirt were.

[porterross]

I'm glad to hear your party went well, Synger. Aren't you exhausted?

I still occasionally smoke clove cigarettes, but one is all I can handle. It's all but impossible to get the filter free ones from Turkey any more and others are mixed with tobacco making them far from enjoyable. When my current tin runs out, I'll be out of luck.

[C.F.W. Walther]

Well---back from the TAW. I'm exhausted from the discussions. They are sharp but not as sharp as we our and I'm just a laymen. I still don't see how our pastors could go that direction. It's just tradition.

[The Princess Bride]

Synger, I have a hard time imagining you smoking cigars! :D

[HighLonesome]

Why . . . a few years ago it was very "in" for both genders to smoke the cubano. I still indulge on occassion.

[dinkime]

it may have been "in" but it still is just gross to me...

[LilLamb219]

Well---back from the TAW. I'm exhausted from the discussions. They are sharp but not as sharp as we our and I'm just a laymen. I still don't see how our pastors could go that direction. It's just tradition.

I'm curious if they quoted from scripture? A few times I went there and didn't see any.

[ConcordiaTriglotta]

Happy Sunday to everyone! I hope everyone is having a great day.

It finally feels like spring here in Minnesota. It's almost 60 and the sun is shining. :cool:

I'm looking forward to next weekend. We are taking a trip to South Carolina for the weekend to visit my wife's brothers. Anybody on here from the Greenville area? We'll be in Easley.

[Melethiel]

The weather can't make up its mind. Yesterday it was about 95. Today it's about 75. Tonight is supposed to be down to 38.

[Melethiel]

Something I pulled together this afternoon because I was bored. Although, I'm not completely happy with it.

[dinkime]

that is very cool, mel!!

i just finished one of my assignments for class -- it is a power point about the first harry potter book...hope it is worthy of an A!

[LilLamb219]

Something I pulled together this afternoon because I was bored. Although, I'm not completely happy with it.



Mel, that looked really cool. What program were you using?

[Melethiel]

Mel, that looked really cool. What program were you using?
Photoshop. Same program I use for all my stuff.

[LilLamb219]

Excellent program! I don't have it on this machine...I used to have a REALLY old version years ago. Maybe someday in the future I'll get it again and play :)

[Melethiel]

Yes, it is a nice program. Very versatile.

[KagomeShuko]

Yep, cigars/cigarettes/smoking, to me=gross. Plus, *can't breath* with that smoke around. . .

Louisiana now has a clean air (smoke free) act for all restaurants (and maybe stores - I know that if it serves food, then no smoking) which is pretty good for the people. . .that way if people can't be or don't want to be around the smokers, they don't have to be. . .of course, people can still smoke in bars (if they are serving more alcohol than food). Makes going bowling for me so much more pleasant!

Mel, that is really cool. We don't have photoshop. I've not learned how to use all of it, but I know TheGimp is a good program that's free for a lot of photo editing and making graphics.

Stein Auf!

[Renatus]

I cannot believe it.
It's april and about 28 C in Northern Germany.
My Grandpa says it is the hottest April he ever undergoed. He says one day in april in the Second World War, had been so hot, but he really didn't remember it anymore. In that time he had other problems like the weather.
The radio stations say the hottest day in april which had ever been measured in Germany.

I think that global warming thing had just begun for 5 years. :sigh:

[QuiltAngel]

Now I know where all of our warmth went, to Germany! My daughter is in the southern part and right now (5 in the afternoon) it is 75F (24C) Let's see 28 C is about 82 F. That is warm for this time of year.

Here it is 55 and is to get to 70. We seem to go from cold to hot back to cold, then hot. Temp can't seem to stabilize any.

We might break freezing by Wednesday and even hit 50 by Sunday.

The key word is "might".

[Melethiel]

Ow. My sunburn is catching up with me.

That's right make sure it is a subjunctive case verb and not indicative.

Are you just trying to make us northeasterners feel bad?
:P

[Melethiel]

It's down to 73/44 now. :P

I would give my right eye tooth for a temperature in the 60s today. The wind is from the North and it is a bit chilly.

[QuiltAngel]

Mel says "down to" 70's and I am saying "up to" the 70's. It is all perspective isn't it?

[Melethiel]

I'm thinking I might have me a Lotheran beverage or two tonight :yum:

[seajoy]

As to the sun, can't be in it. It's not so much a sunburn (though I do burn after awhile - I know from playing in a swimming pool for two hours!), it's immediate heat stroke! :swoon:

Hahahaha. . . .well, I've been a mod for something like two years now, and you've not yet gotten rid of me! :P

GT gives me headaches, though. I once posted my trinity study there, somebody said it just couldn't be, and the mods there did nothing about what they said while I got all kinds of reports for some song lyrics. . .yeah, lyrics are obviously more important that upholding the doctrine of the trinity! :doh:

Lutheran beverages.
What's a Lutheran beverage?

[seajoy]

What's a Lutheran beverage?
beer................or coffee :) (what I'm having this morning!)

[DaRev]

What's a Lutheran beverage?

It's a code name used at the seminary for beer. Only those functions that the seminary "officially" allowed the consumption of alcohol could be promoted using the word "beer." For other such times, such as informal gatherings with professors (except for the Profs-n-Stein on Fridays) we would refer to it as "Lutheran beverage."
The common saying was BYOLB, which means "Bring Your Own Lutheran Beverage."

At the Fort, we don't have coded language. We call a beverage a beer. Our Friday afternoon social event is called "Gemutlichtkeit" which in German means coziness or comfortableness, social event.

Okay, 'fess up everyone...how many of you dialed that number back when it was on the radio???

I never did but I had a friend who still calls up that number where ever she goes. Just says hi to the folk and "sorry I have the wrong number."

Kae...Wild 80s child. :)

[Renatus]

Somebody sent me this link. It looks like all the top 100 music hits for---I dunno--50 years. It tried a couple and they worked--thought you guys might like it. Don't think too many people know about this site.

Nice Site. :thumbsup:
The most of these songs are to old for me.
Rather, I keep at good German Metal or German medieval Folk Rock ;)
German Metal still is the best.

I was watching something on TV a while back that said in many places that number is no longer given out by the phone company because of that song. ^_^
I thought that was hilarious.

I think it was in NYC that if you dialed that number the song would play over the phone!

It's gray here as well! I've been prepping the living room so that tomorrow and Friday I can paint. I should just do the first coat today...but I don't want to do it LOL

Of course I can send the Great and Swell (and Positiv, Choir, and Bombarde!) down to the pedals. The problem is one of only having two feet, which are already doing the job of three. :P

Today, I cleaned the living room - if you guessed very few things were mine, you're very correct.

I did what I was told and just took things out and put them out in a box on the lawn (actually, my dad just told me to throw the stuff out on the lawn, so I was much nicer then he said to be!)

Then when my mom came home (unfortunately, my sister stayed home today when I needed her out of the way), they had to take care of all their junk - and the living room STILL looks like a pigsty.

Ugh.

At least I've been getting to do some exercises - trying to lose some weight. . .should be somewhere between 100 and 127, and I'm at 129.

Stein Auf!

Acually, I dipped a sponge in the dog's water dish, and sealed them with that...and I'm not kidding, that's what I did! :cool:

[synger]

Hunter's been back at school evenings, so last night I stayed up to say hi to him. I was tired, but wanted at least a good-night kiss before going to bed. So of course, we sat down and watched TV together for an hour, and THEN he wanted to talk about politics and news... finally I got to bed a little after midnight.

This morning, I hit the snooze too many times, and Gem actually got up when I did (I get up really early -- long commute).. and she's lost her first tooth! So excitement and congratulations and hugs were happily distributed.

Then when I finally got into work (very late), my team leader is out sick, and two of my webmasters won't be in this afternoon, so I'm cancelling our webmaster meeting. I'm sitting here trying to determine what in the mound-o-work on my desk to tackle first.

I need this:

Oh, and another upbeat note, my Lutheran Prayer Book finally arrived. From what I could tell in skimming it before falling into bed, it will be very, very handy.

[WildStrawberry]

I love my Lutheran Prayer Book. I also love my My Prayer Book. I use the first here at home at night and in the morning and the second goes with me everywhere I go. (it's in my purse right along side my purse Bible.)

Heh, I just remembered that I have a worksheet due in Music History tomorrow morning. The worksheet was on Music after 1945, and the teacher asked a bunch of complicated questions which I wasn't in the mood to answer, so gave either one-sentence answers, or snarky non-answers. (Ie., What is music? Apparently, whatever the composer wants it to be.)
My grade in the class is astronomical, so I'm beyond caring if she takes points off...

Thanks all. He can be quick to see descrepancies and I think that will help him in the job. He has had a fascination for all things military for several years. Has had no clue what he would study in college so this is what he should do. My husband served in the Army National Guard in Kansas as a Chaplain for a while. He has found this whole enlistment process fascinating.

Finals - i miss school. I miss having a real job. I miss being busy with stuff I enjoy that keeps me going.

I've cleaned for the past three days and I finally (okay, technically yesterday) took a break from cleaning. . .

I don't know how in the world that I am going to keep my family keeping the place clean. It's basically impossible!

[C.F.W. Walther]

Great--when you done there you can come clean my cabin. My cleaning lady comes once every three weeks and refuses to let it go longer. She says she doesn't like the mess of waiting any longer than that :) I HATE dusting and refuse to do it. It's a guy thing.

[Renatus]

I've made it!
Today, I have written my last exam in written form. ^_^

Now, I only have to do one oral exam in History in 2 weeks. It will be about American History, French revolution, and German foreign policy from the First World War to the second, so it will be no really problem for me, I hope.
Fortunately, we could choose a focal point, so I have chosen American History in the 19. Century, my special subject. ;)
Hopefully, I will have made it then.

Well my wife's first two Regency Romance novels will be published as eBooks in the next month or so. She has also written a more contemporary romance she is trying to sell off to a different publisher and she just signed with an agent to help her sell her work.

Maybe you will be reading her books soon if you like Romance novels that is.

It's so sweet
It will rot people's teeth.

Diabetes is the reason
'cause that tune is in season.

Can't get back to sleep. Gem has been complaining of a sore throat today, and was running a bit of a fever. About 3ish, she woke up again. Sounds like her chest is congested. Called Kaiser, and after talking to the advice nurse decided we didn't have to take her in to night-time urgent care, since she's breathing fairly evenly, even if she's wheezing some. We'll take her in this morning. She and Hunter are sleeping on the couch. I can't get back to sleep yet. Mind whirling about calling the church to let them know we won't be able to teach our Sunday School class (they can wait to learn about Pentecostals and Word of Faith until next week), and the possibility of having to cancel our friend's birthday party (they don't have a home to host it in, so we're hosting it for them).

So I'm here, trying to wind down, humming Come Thou Font of Every Blessing over and over again. If you have to have a song virus, that's a good one to have, right?

He's my lackey (page turner ;) ). :P Name is Dan, and he's Roman Catholic.
Your page turner looks a lot like Stacy!

Ah, page turners. I would love to always have page turners when I play piano - even if not great. . .I just HATE page turns. . .I always tend to drop the book or page stick or something else goes wrong!

Stein Auf!

[WildStrawberry]

Oh Mel...

That Organ...

Oh my. I'm drooling. I wish I could play it just once.

*sigh* I guess I'll go back to my wee little Hammond. (That I actually love and adore and treat with utmost care 'cause it's my friend. :D)

How lucky you are to have such an instrument!

[Melethiel]

It has its quirks...it was struck by lightning last August, which completely fried the console. Everything had to be replaced and rewired, and while they were at it, they upgraded the memory system. As a result, there's still some kinks to be ironed out, like the faulty Crescendo (which, for some reason, immediately turns on the Zimbelstern. Nor does it save any changes made to it manually)....

At least it's fully functional again. :D It was down for an entire semester. :eek:

[seajoy]

Ugh---dialup :swoon::mad:
You will have to move to town! :) (probably not, I'm guessing :sorry: )

KaeDid you see my Hammond H-100 on my CF character?

[Melethiel]

I don't think I've ever played a Hammond. I have played a (rather large) Allen before. The pipe organs have spoiled me. :P

[C.F.W. Walther]

You will have to move to town! :) (probably not, I'm guessing :sorry: )From my cabin in the wooods? Oh forsooth !

[seajoy]

From my cabin in the wooods? Oh forsooth !
I was afraid you would say even worse to me! :D

[C.F.W. Walther]

Allen and Rogers are the digital miracles of the 20th Century. I've played and heard them in churches and auditoriums for the last 40 years and they are fantastic. I've given organ lessons on both also in homes. They are expensive. They last Allen I heard was at a dedication in a Lutheran church in Herman Mo. Blew our socks off.......wow !

If nobody knows they sound just like a theater or church organ.

[Melethiel]

The sound is really good. The university used an Allen (or was it a Rogers? can't recall now) while the pipe organ was down. They don't have the acoustic qualities of a pipe organ though.

[DaRev]

Our church has an older Allen, manufactured just down the road a spell... in Allentown! :P

[C.F.W. Walther]

There's a large difference between the older and newer Allens and Rogers. I sold organs back in the 60's and early 70's and now, on occasion I will help congregations find the right one for their circumstance. I Try to stay away from the commercial brands because they have to many bells and whistles even though they don't sound too bad.

[Edial]

Downloading them right now. :)

[Jim47]

I wished I could play an instrument. I have no musical talent at all. I flunked the basic flute when I was in grade school even :sorry: I love music too, lots of different kinds, but noe of the moder rock and roll or rap, Ugh. I don't even call that music.

When I was first home fromthe service my wife taught me to play Home, Home on the range. One of my favorites, but it didn't sound all that good, and all I was doing was memorizing key strokes as I can't read music either. Guess I'm just too dumb :eek:

[Edial]

This is very good, Mel.
Thank you. :)

[LilLamb219]

It's never too late to learn how to play an instrument or to learn to read music. You just need to want to do it. 3 years ago I took flute lessons (for 6 months) and I now play at church and in a flute choir. I don't know what level I'm at, but I'm no longer a beginner. Hard work pays off and you don't need to be a kid to do it!

[seajoy]

as I can't read music either. Guess I'm just too dumb :eek:
You would not allow one of us to say that about ourselves. :hug:
Each one of us has different talents that God gives us. :)

[DaRev]

I took piano lessons for five years (including a year with a guy who played piano/organ on the Love Boat... I kid you not!), but was only able to master chop sticks. I was too young I guess to take it seriously. I also took clarinet lessons in grade school (Benny Goodman is my hero!). I played the bass clarinet and contrabass clarinet in high school, but haven't touched them since.

The one good thing I learned from all of that is that I can plunk out a hymn tune from the hymnal if I'm unfamiliar with the tune. That ability comes in handy quite often.

I'm afraid I tried all that. I was in choir in junior high and tried for 2 year to learn how to read music. I just don't get it, but at least I can still enjoy it :)

Thanks for sticking up for me, but I'm not ashamed at what I am. I have a few good qualities, I jsut can't remember what they are ;)

[LilLamb219]

Jim, don't give up. If you can learn to moderate, you can learn to do anything :D

You would more likely benefit from having a private music teacher than learning in a classroom setting.

[seajoy]

I have a few good qualities, I jsut can't remember what they are ;)
Perhaps we should list them to help you remember. :thumbsup:

No, please don't do that. Others will see the bennefit of being dumb, and this world is already dumb eonough ;)

Saying good bye to Number 2 ale house. :wave:
