Think I'll sit down here for a bit... (4)

[porterross]

seajoy,
glad your husband is home and feeling some better. Yeah, I don't get the workaholic types and I am married to one too.
I've been married to the other kind and it is far worse, trust me!

Y'mean the ones who sit on the couch watching the Boob tube and expect you to wait on them hand and foot with a beer? :doh:

As long as they work and do their part, a bit of that is tolerable. How about one who lies about working and is instead doing other things? Fun, huh?

:hug: Been there.

[seajoy]

...he's going to work the rest of the day. :doh:
One cannot accuse my man of laziness. :)
He thought he was going to try and work, but he was too sick and had to come home. I made him some chicken noodle soup and some jello. He can barely get that down.

I'm glad he's finally here. I'll just have to be his nurse and get him all better again. :hug:

[dinkime]

just don't wear yourself down, seajoy!! glad he is finally home with you :)

[dinkime]

i need some way to get caught up on my "health" here, lol -- i need 5952 posts (as of today) to be at 100%! eek!! and the 30 seconds between posts is killer, lol...but i am trying! (i am in a count however you want thread, lol)

[DaRev]

I'm glad he's finally here. I'll just have to be his nurse and get him all better again. :hug:

Perhaps some day I may be so blessed.

[seajoy]

Thanks Rev :)

[latebloomer]

I hope he gets feeling better, Seajoy. Try to keep him in the A/C until he is.

Becky, Radiata would suggest you go over to the games forum to catch up a bit on your numbers.

Would you like us to hold a year long prayer vigil for you Rev? ;)

[Studeclunker]

Hey, Seajoy! Be firm with him and tell him to stay home tomorrow. Heat stroke is nothing to mess with. Your hubby's stressed his system rather profoundly and he needs to take some time to recover. Just a day or so...

If he complains, ask him whom he wants to run the company when he's gone. Just kidding.;)

Ha, I tried that quite a few times. My reps and blessings went up just slightly. I think people see "moderator" and decide that they don't want to donate anything :( Or they donate as little as possible. *sigh*

Lately I just feel as if I'm getting slapped around as a mod. :cry:

i am not too worried about rep & blesisngs, i just want my post count up so i can have a higher health rating, lol

I'm not very confident in Erwin's new plan. I gave it some time...but how much time does it need? I mean, this place has gone down and each day I go exploring through the forums, I get more and more dejected by it all.

I think Erwin's plan has been given sufficient time. If you wanna kill a Christian forum, you do exactly what Erwin did. Since you're in a position of authority, maybe you can help me. I was wondering just what the atheist conversion rate is at the moment? How great has the soul harvest for the Lord been? I'm tempted to gather all the "nay-sayers" of Erwin's plan together for a forum-wide WE TOLD YA SO! Then I come back to reality and realize that what has happened here is truly tragic and not a reason to gloat.

A most excellent post! You have really summed it up, Zec.

[QuiltAngel]

I have not wondered too much in theological sections, but have in some other areas and things do seem to be going down hill. It seems like people can say what they want and not be afraid of anything.

I may take a look at some of the theology areas sometime, but will have to put that on hold for a few days.

[LilLamb219]

Hehehe I just talked to Seajoy on the phone a little while ago! :) She's so nice!!! She sounds like such a good mom!!

Well Becky, pretend we are all there and enjoying the party with you.

[dinkime]

not sure what kind of beer -- it is in the basement fridge & i don't feel like getting up -- probably some sort of AB product

[dinkime]

we need some sort of Lutheran "game" here -- ok, just a game in the Lutheran forum, lol

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix IMAX 3-D :clap:

OOoh...is it just the last 20 minutes in 3D? There is a place about a half hour away that has that and the billboards said it was only the last 20 minutes.

i figured out a way to up my health that is a little funnier than just counting -- i am doing a "chat with chrisbot" thread! lol

the final "battle" scene was in 3-D -- from getting to the ministry on the thestrals (very cool!) until the ministry coming in & seeing voldemort...

i wish it had started a little earlier (fred & george's fireworks would have been awesome in 3-D)

Hey everyone! :wave:

Golly it feels like forever since I've been here. *G* Been a bit under the weather. Had to take some antibiotics which screw up my blood (I'm on coumadin and the antibiotics mess with my vitamin K levels which makes the blood REALLY thin...) which makes me sleep and sleep and sleep and...well you get the picture. *G*

So I feel like I've been asleep for the last 2 weeks.

What's going on? How is everyone? Golly I've missed you all!

*hugs*

Kae

[seajoy]

Missed you too Kae, I was wondering where you were.

Glad you are on the mend.

[QuiltAngel]

Kae, Glad you are feeling better.

LutherChick, I am so sorry you are having a hard stressful time lately.


Keeping you both in my prayers.

[QuiltAngel]

Well, it has been interesting here lately.

Daughter arrived home (the Minneapolis airport actually) on July 23. We had dinner with our son and headed down the road to Rochester. Had an appointment there. Daughter found a car to buy. Gosh, paper work on buying a car sure is a lot.

Then we had to get ready for family over the weekend. Our niece, who is an ESL teacher in Taiwan through LCMS World Missions was going to speak at our church as Immanual supports her. They had to leave after dinner on Sunday.

We then headed to St. Paul to see Spamalot. Quite an interesting musical. One has to remember that everything is a parody in it. After some shopping at IKEA and the Mall of America, we returned home.

I think we are in a more normal routine now. Well, as much as one can be with an extra person in the house.

On top of that, had a cold go into a sinus infection so am now on antibiotics. Trying to catch up on sleep. Maybe I will be caught up in the morning.

Well, I am soon off to bed.

[LilLamb219]

I hate sinus infections :( Hope you feel better soon!

[ctay]

I hate sinus infections too, hope you get better real soon.

[dinkime]

i just hate being sick -- feel better quick!

i just had a tooth pulled :( it tastes so nasty in my mouth from all the stuff -- and nothing to eat or drink for another half hour!!

[porterross]

You're brave, Becky. They'd have to knock me out and/or strap me down to pull one of my teeth.

[WildStrawberry]

Oh Ouch Becky!

I have a root canal scheduled for the 13th. Not at all looking forward to it. *G* I hear, though, that they're not as bad as everyone says.

We'll see.

:D

Kae

[dinkime]

i had a root canal on this tooth 5 years ago -- it happened to crack recently (all down to the root) plus it had an infection around the root

the root canal did not bother me much (not as much pain as people make it sound) -- the pulling the tooth, i felt some pressure (that bugged me) and i did not even think he was done & the tooth was out!

[dinkime]

it feels so odd in my mouth -- the dentist put some sort of "in mouth bandage" on it -- so it feels like i have a bunch of chewed up gum all over my mouth on that side!

[QuiltAngel]

Becky, praying your mouth feels better soonest.

Root canals use to be a whole lot different than they are now. The way they do them now is so much easier than the way they use to do them. Use to take several appointments. Now they do it all in one.

[Zecryphon]

i just had a tooth pulled :( it tastes so nasty in my mouth from all the stuff -- and nothing to eat or drink for another half hour!!
I'm sorry to hear that you had a tooth pulled. I had one pulled last week and next week they are going to do a bridge. So I know your pain and remember, Vicodin is your friend! LOL

[dinkime]

I'm sorry to hear that you had a tooth pulled. I had one pulled last week and next week they are going to do a bridge. So I know your pain and remember, Vicodin is your friend! LOL

no vicodin, it doesn't hurt a lot (for now) -- so we shall see!! i won't get my bridge for awhile (it will be a double bridge as the tooth next to it was pulled 5 years ago -- a baby tooth!) -- and now i will have to REdo the bite impressions since this tooth is gone (i was just there 2 weeks ago to do them)

Ooohh tooth work - I think I hate that the most. Hope you are feeling better and you don't have a lot of pain to spoil your weekend. I have been blessed with minimal work on my teeth needed over the years, but my poor hubby - he has had more root canals, teeth pulled and crowns than I can count! Seems like everytime we finally get the dentist paid off we start all over again - good thing he's understanding about payments!

Hope your bridge work goes fine and painless!

[dinkime]

the spot is now just annoying (with the clotty stuff there) but it has not hurt at all -- interestingly enough, my BACK hurt yesterday (i think from sitting pretty tensely at the dentist)

[LilLamb219]

Wow, everyone around here is plagued with tooth problems? Me too! I go in Monday to see what will happen, I might have a cracked filling or the tooth below it is cracked, so maybe a crown is next? Ack.

[dinkime]

:hug: :prayer: i had a cracked one & it is gone! i pray you will not have the same troubles :prayer: :hug:

Got a tooth that has a chunk out of it for over 6 months. Guess I'll have to get it looked at after I get home from the trip.

I'll have it pulled. I don't want to keep trying to save part of it so the dentist can buy his wife a new Beamer :)

Except for fillings I have all my original teeth, except one. Now I'll loose another. Not bad for a junior geezer :)

[dinkime]

and i am already missing 2 of my real/original teeth!! i do have some other fillings in my teeth as well, and one of the teeth i have is a baby tooth with no permenant tooth under it (as was one of the ones he has pulled)

You still on the road, Rad? How did things go for y'all?

[LutherNut]

Hey, Rev, doesn't your head hurt from hitting that brick wall like that? ^_^

[Studeclunker]

My Mum used to say that I have an aristocratic jawline and peasant teeth. In otherwords, I have horse-teeth from the Germans and too small of a mouth for them, courtesy of the British side. Oi.:help:

This eventually resulted in six of my teeth being extracted before braces were installed. This got rid of the buck-toothed look, but was excruciating.

I've since had a broken and painful molar pulled and the crown of it's opposite cracked in half years ago. So, I only have a half molar there. My Dentist decided that my wisdom teeth were better than my molars and pulled the latter.

My wife's stallion rubbed me off on a telephone pole and that cost me one of my top front teeth. The dentist put in an implant to replace it. Can't even tell it's a falsie.

So, I guess that means that I'm missing eight and a half teeth in all. The rest are in reasonably good shape. Though I have to use the sensitive tooth paste. Otherwise, everything I eat or drink has to be room temperature. No icecream or hot tea. Yuk!:sick:

[C.F.W. Walther]

Well I'm back after being gone 16 days seeing the "west". Lots of "hot" traveling out there. Even in the mountains. 80's and 90's even at 6-8 thousand feet. Nights in the mountains were cool-cold.

Got turned around in Yosemite Park and came out the wrong entrance. Made for an interesting trip. Went places I hadn't planed on.

One of my favorite spots was the Cascades in WA state. The mountains aren't the highest but the lakes made the scenery awesome. Of course Mt. Ranier was tremendous.

Another favorite was the seascapes in Or and WA. Can't afford a retirement place there because of real estate values but I can visit anyway.

Went camping with my son and friends up in the mountains of Silverton OR and saw some beautiful falls.

Did lots of RV camping along the way. Most pleasant places were by the seashore, hearing the surf and felling the ocean breezes. Stopped in Bellingham WA and got info on the Alaska Ferry. Might take that trip next summer with the RV and see my cousin up in Fairbanks AK.

I would have stayed out longer but I developed a transmission leak and needed to get back to fix it. Newer trans are sealed and there is no way to add tranny fluid.

I'm tired....................

[KimLCMS]

We didn't click. It's different meeting in person than just talking over the phone. Guess the Lord has other plans for me. I just wish he'd tell me what they were. My subscription to the singles site ran out so I'm done with that.

I guess it's good to be back. I actually didn't want to come back because I liked being on the road........or maybe there's just still too many memories here. Guess they'll follow me wherever I go.

Oh BTW--thanks for the welcome. :)

Yeah, it can be tough, but chemistry has a lot to do with these things and it can't be ignored. These things take time and trusting in God's plan is better than trying to force what's not meant to be. :pray:

Wow they're really attacking it. The sugar must have fermented. :D
They're larger than ones we get here, too. Are they not as territorial as others?

That's what ours do as well. Do yours make a buzzing noise? The ones here don't, but in New Mexico the ruby throats are loud.

That's what ours do as well. Do yours make a buzzing noise? The ones here don't, but in New Mexico the ruby throats are loud.Yep they sound like little dive bombers. Actually like large wasps.

The weird sounds I hear are from the white tail deer around here. They have a variety of sounds. The oddest sound is the bucks. They sometimes sound like a bear or bull. They have a throaty growl and grunt. When the does are surprised they have a puffy "hrumph" sound.

[DaRev]

When I have my feeder cranked up they fight and chase each other.

My dad has two HB feeders on his front deck. There is one bird who perches on one of them to chase the others away. It's comical to see how they work in tandum. One bird will come to lure the percher away while another one feeds. ^_^

no vicodin, it doesn't hurt a lot (for now) -- so we shall see!! i won't get my bridge for awhile (it will be a double bridge as the tooth next to it was pulled 5 years ago -- a baby tooth!) -- and now i will have to REdo the bite impressions since this tooth is gone (i was just there 2 weeks ago to do them)
Vicodin was my friend during this ordeal because on top of having the pain of surgically extracting a tooth, I grind my teeth at night! LOL I'm being fitted for a night guard later this month. I truly thought my days of wearing dental appliances at night were behind me. My problems are supposed to be mental not dental!!! Get my therapist on the phone!!! :mad:

*sigh* I've been grinding my teeth at night as well...stress related for me. (this place and all the things going on)

I went to my dentist yesterday, he took an x-ray of the tooth that was bothering me and said there is nothing he can do yet because he can't see the problem.

Just out of curiosity, why did you sit in the front? Why was a middle pew not an option. That would be the compromise. Then instead of being close to the exit for an expeditious departure, you can be in the thick of the sinners! LOL

[WildStrawberry]

My family actually sits in the very back pew because my Mom needs the extra light to see. Unfortunately, that light gives ME a headache. So, since my parents were on vacation, I decided to sit up closer to see if it helped. I'll continue to sit with my parents when they're there, but it was nice to sit in a different spot. Also helped with concentration. Not the same ole same ole...ya know?

And why not the middle? 'Cause all those seats were taken. LOL

Kae

[dinkime]

we have a specific seat depending on which service -- wednesday night we are the third row from the front on the aisle side -- sunday morning about 1/2 way back on the window side --

[porterross]

I like to sit toward the front to keep from being distracted by what's going on in front of me, especially with the families who have small children. It helps my daughter concentrate on the sermon and liturgy and besides, it's the same pew my parents sat in regularly when I was growing up. :)

We're moving my son to college in a week & 1/2, and going to Minneapolis for Labor Day weekend - hope I can find a sub to play for me at church!

Oh, and to fill in the time before then, we are fixing the bathroom floor - I feel like we should be on a cable tv show - unfortunately not the DIY network - more like the comedy channel!

I'm considering a trip south after our conference. Or maybe a weekend at St. Augustine's House monastery in Michigan.

She wouldn't have to sue me because I'd feel so bad I'd send her one of those plastic keyboard covers to prevent such a tragedy from happening again. And yes, I'm sure I will make her laugh that hard again. Now whether or not it will be intentional on my part the next time remains to be seen. LOL

You know, I should have gotten one of those keyboard covers years ago. Mine has gotten filthy. I keep it blown out, but the dust and dirt that collects on these dished-topped keys just keeps collecting no matter what I do.

Camp Tecumseh with the Girl Scouts :P My daughter and her 2 friends are Juliettes (independents who aren't in a troop) and they've been dying to go back to camp, so we're going as a part of a neighborhood event. It's a fun place, but I have never been there in the heat of summer. I'm not looking forward to 2 heat filled nights with no air conditioning. ick. :help:

Studeclunker,

I love the hummers, thank you for sharing them with us.
Wow, I have never seen so many in one place!

[Studeclunker]

I'm rather fond of the little fellows myself. I've six feeders in front of the house and sometimes the air just shivers with them. The downside is that I go through five pounds of sugar every three to four days. It's really funny the looks I get with three five pound bags of sugar with my shopping.;) Some people go to the movies, I feed the birds. Go figure...:scratch:

[Jim47]

the spot is now just annoying (with the clotty stuff there) but it has not hurt at all -- interestingly enough, my BACK hurt yesterday (i think from sitting pretty tensely at the dentist)


I hope your mouth is feeling better by now. I've had 3 teeth pulled and wear a bridge also. Not quite like having your own teeth but beets not having any at all ;)


Besides, its so much fun to spit your teeth out in your hand and brush them :D

[Jim47]

My Mum used to say that I have an aristocratic jawline and peasant teeth. In otherwords, I have horse-teeth from the Germans and too small of a mouth for them, courtesy of the British side. Oi.:help:

This eventually resulted in six of my teeth being extracted before braces were installed. This got rid of the buck-toothed look, but was excruciating.

I've since had a broken and painful molar pulled and the crown of it's opposite cracked in half years ago. So, I only have a half molar there. My Dentist decided that my wisdom teeth were better than my molars and pulled the latter.

My wife's stallion rubbed me off on a telephone pole and that cost me one of my top front teeth. The dentist put in an implant to replace it. Can't even tell it's a falsie.

So, I guess that means that I'm missing eight and a half teeth in all. The rest are in reasonably good shape. Though I have to use the sensitive tooth paste. Otherwise, everything I eat or drink has to be room temperature. No icecream or hot tea. Yuk!:sick:
</IMG>



I had a bad problem with sensitive teeth about 6-7 years ago. I tried all that fancy tooth paste and other stuff, nothing helped until I started taking calcium pills every day for my back. Haven't had a problem with sensitive tteth since. I told my dentist about but he didn't believe me. Don't really care as it took care of my problem.

LOL--Mom & Dad sit in the pew next to the window of Jonah, same place for 40+ years, ever since their kids graduated out of the back rows "reserved for families with small children". I sat on the right side of the aisle last Sunday instead of the left, as usual, felt a bit odd, almost like I was visiting.

Went and stayed at the lake, got up this morning and decided to check this LCMS church, its a small church, even got the new hymnals, I enjoyed the old service, the sermon was good, I'll probably be going to this church whenever we're down at the lake staying over the weekend

Talk about dental work, I got a partial. took me awhile to get used to them but wear them all the time

I have to say that the Husker fans who came down and tailgated with us were outstanding folks and we had a great time with them. After the game, they were inviting all of us to come and enjoy their hospitality this year, but it's just too far for us to make during the school year.

It came about because a group of moderates and liberals are unhappy with the main forum and want some changes.

If you ever want to try it, let me know and I'll send you a pack of the spices. It's really simple and it makes a nice sweetly spicy chili.

Ever heard of Terlingua and the annual international chili cook-off? It's a huge event in the middle of nowhere and not too far from here. :D

Hmm. I'm not sure which it would be closer to actually.

Here's a wiki on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_chili

I have heard of that cook off. Thanks to Food Network. LOL

Chili abuse! :swoon: In UK, they put it on rice. :sick:

I love the food network and often test recipes off their site. Good stuff! :thumbsup:

I love Cincy chili, 4-way wet, with sour cream. And beer.

Hard Times (http://www.hardtimes.com/menu/menu1.asp)(the chili parlor we go to) also has a Terlingua chili that is amazing.

Oh, and the Chili Bubba they offer is really good, too. (chili over corn bread)

[WildStrawberry]

Huh. Sour cream on Cincy chili. I've never heard of that. *G* I'll bet it's good though.

I like getting a bowl of Cincy chili and making a fat peanut butter sandwich and dipping it into the chili. Everyone I know thinks I'm disgusting for doing that but...it's really very very good.

hit 107* today -- what a pleasant day! :sigh: :doh: ;)

[QuiltAngel]

WOW Becky! 81 here today and the humidity is down some. Had a coold front come through overnight. I wish I could share it with you. Sounds like you need it.

Edited: My son goes to Ft. Leonard Wood next week. Those look like some rather warm temps down that way!

[porterross]

Still haven't reached 100 here on the edge of west Texas and there is a tropical storm in the gulf so I hope it brings some relief of rain soon. We've not gone two weeks without rain since March.

[dinkime]

by the end of the week we MIGHT be in the 90s...

it has been 90+ (and humid as heck) since july 31...

record yesterday at 103, record today at 105/106

I miss St. Louis. :sigh:

[ctay]

It hit 105-106 here today.

[LutheranChick]

But when you combine Orange and Black...well, then it's simply wonderful.

Or I'm hoping it'll be wonderful this football season! :D

Kae
Orange and Black - our school colors too! Graduation looked like a Halloween party! - Except, I thought I was getting Black balloons and they ended up Purple! So we had Orange, Black and Purple - it REALLY looked like Halloween!

[Studeclunker]

I'm very thankful that it hasn't hit ninety for several days here. It still isn't predicted to go over ninety today.

I find myself grieving again over the ELCA.:cry: There are days when burning these heretics at the stake seems somewhat attractive.:sigh:

[porterross]

We're feeling some sprinkles from Erin and it looks like we might get some decent moisture from it if it stays on its current course.

[DaRev]

See, I told ya, :D

[WildStrawberry]

Hmm. It's showing 108 here right now and I know it was about 110 earlier when Mike and I came out of the dentist's office.

This heat just saps the strength right out of you. Luckily we're supposed to be getting rain this weekend into next week so we should only hit the mid 80s.

I can't wait.
