Yay! A new kitchen.

[DaRev]

We all deserve a new kitchen once in a while. :P

[ctay]

I'm ready for a new house, I'd like to live in a brand new house, one that doesn't need fixin up. Just for a month or two

[porterross]

New houses cost lots of new money, though. ;)

[RadMan]

Seajoy says that she is somewhere with no internet connection for about a week but thanks everyone for the prayers.

[WildStrawberry]

Still praying!!

Kae

[ctay]

I can't believe how much houses have went up in 9 yrs since we bought this one.


Prayers too

[ctay]

CF is being a pain again

[ctay]

I'm going to an auction for the school my parents church has every year to raise money, they do pretty good with it and raise quite a bit of money. Usually they have pretty nice things too. Each classroom makes a quilt to auction off and you would think they are going to end up in a cat fight over these quilts.

[porterross]

I would like to learn to quilt, but only if I can design a machine to do the bulk of the work. ;)

[RadMan]

My oldest boy, 40 and his girlfriend are moving down to Texas and if they don't have problems on the road will probably be there in a week. He's got a job on a ranch and she is an RN and thinks that she can find some work there. Don't know the name of the town. Pray for a safe trip since they are pulling a decreped travel trailer behind a derelic RV.

[porterross]

Do you kow what part of Texas they'll be in?

Praying for their safe journey.

[RadMan]

He told me a couple of weeks ago but I forget. Somewhere in the eastern panhandle. He'll tell me when he gets there.

[porterross]

OK. That's still quite a way from me, but he might also help with some of the ranches down here from time to time.

[KimLCMS]

Hey everyone. Spring has sprung.
We took the kiddies out to Fort Ancient for a long hike. They had a good time. We slipped and slid down the steep ravine pathways because we've had a lot of rain lately. We walked along the Little Miami River, which was very high.
My three year old, Nate, was explaining to the girls scouts on the trail that there were skeletons around from the Indians. Then he started in on ghosts stories. He has a vivid imagination.
All three are sleeping like logs. :)

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm having a bad time with this site!!! I get timed out frequently, having trouble posting and can't rep anyone...at least it looks as if it's not following through when I try.

So, don't think I'm abandoning you guys...I'm trying, I really am but the site is being persnickety!

I am having the same problems and getting really irritated with it

[ctay]

I keep thinking I need to get a bar of soap and keep it next to my computer, Just in case. LOL

[WildStrawberry]

*giggling at Ctay* YES! I feel the same way.

The site is really lagging. I've tried to post several times and have lost my posts each time.

Wanted to say, there are a few Lutheran Cyclopedias on Ebay right now. I think one of them (a newer one) starts at $4. Which is CHEAP.

Kae

[filosofer]

Yeah, between travel and now trying to get on this site off and on for a week, I have about had it with this site. This is the first time I have been able to access this thread since it started. :(

[QuiltAngel]

Does anyone know when this site will be running smoother? It has been very frustrating to get on. I have a slow internet connection anyway and now the site likes to hang. Grrr!!!!

It is cloudy in northern Iowa. We see the sun once in a while. They have snow in the forecast for tomorrow. Please, let it be rain.

[LilLamb219]

There is no word at all as to when the site will be improved. :(

It's driving people away I think. At least by force it is!

[QuiltAngel]

I have been posting in another area of CF and there is one member who does need a forced break. It does get frustrating, but then I need to get some things done, so it is good for me.

[ctay]

Good morning.

[MarkRohfrietsch]

Good morning.

Good morning.:wave:

Things seem to be working better for the time being!

Not only was I aable to get here, I was able to post!:thumbsup:

I'm so going to have to forward this to my Mom. I am SO NOT a morning person.

However, this morning I did something I haven't done in quite sometime. (in the morning that is)

I got on my knees and started the day out talkin' with God.

Not that I don't talk to God throughout the day...He and I are constant companions...but...ON MY KNEES! FIRST THING IN THE MORNING!!

Makes all the difference in the world.

Kae

[WildStrawberry]

I almost forgot...!

I found this internet meme yesterday and decided to go for it.

http://www.triplux.com/dayzero/default.asp?view=gettingstarted

basically, you set 101 goals for yourself and then complete them in 1001 days. That's 2.75 years.

So I figured...what the hay. Why not?

So I'm writing my list. I'm at number 71.

Any suggestions? I already have 'read the Bible in a year' and 'do daily devotions' and 'memorize the catechism'.

So? any suggestions?

Kae

[porterross]

Yes, ma'am, it sure does.

Were you facing East? ;)

[KimLCMS]

Hey all! I'm glad things are moving along a bit better at CF now!!

[WildStrawberry]

Yes, ma'am, it sure does.

Were you facing East? ;)

Actually...no I wasn't. *G* That side of my bed is filled with many many many books. I must go through them and purge. :(

Anyone like romances? :D

Kae

[porterross]

Actually...no I wasn't. *G* That side of my bed is filled with many many many books. I must go through them and purge. :(

Ha! I thought I was the only one who kept what they were reading handy by just keeping it at the opposite foot of the bed.


Anyone like romances? :D


Only personal ones. ;)

[WildStrawberry]

Ha! I thought I was the only one who kept what they were reading handy by just keeping it at the opposite foot of the bed.

OH! You mean stuff I'm reading...nah, that's on the west side of my bed. And in my 'library' (read: bathroom) and the living room...oh and the kitchen...heh.

The other side of my bed is books I've read or want to get rid of but haven't been fussed to box up and take to Half Price Books. Or that I want to keep but don't have shelf space (yet. Just bought a new bookshelf today!) for or things like that.

I am, truly, a biblioholic.

Kae

[DaRev]

Only personal ones. ;)

^_^

[ctay]

I wish I had more room to put books, I love to read and I like to collect old books

This 101 things is a great idea! I'm going to try it!!

I can't follow up on three measly New Year's resolutions. I'd just fail every more miserably on 101 resolutions over a three-year period.

Wow, a new kitchen. Glad you guys kept busy while I was gone.

Thanks for all the prayers for my son. He is doing much better now, but has to have some tests this coming wednesday. What my son has is Epiplioc Appendigitis. The doctor at the ER we were at said he's only seen about 5 cases in his entire career, and he's in his 50's. Anyway, it was a bit scarey, and he was in a lot of pain, but the meds have helped and he's doing so much better.
Thanks again, my friends. I really appreciate your prayers. And thanks be to God for His mercy on our son.

My last New Year's resoluton was ten years ago.I resolved to make no further New Year resolutions. So far so good.

Frequent prayer is good for us. It shows that we yearn to be with our Father. I had to give up praying on my knees a few years ago, too painful. It about broke my heart but now I feel just as good and know that He still hears my humble prayers.

I can't follow up on three measly New Year's resolutions. I'd just fail every more miserably on 101 resolutions over a three-year period.


Same here Synger. I gave up on resolutions years ago and have not regretted it.

My last New Year's resoluton was ten years ago.I resolved to make no further New Year resolutions. So far so good.


^_^ Makes it easier doesn't it? I try to do what I can at the time and not worry about tommorow, afterall, maybe I won't be here tommorow? :holy:



Great news Seajoy. I pray he keeps progressing.

[WildStrawberry]

Hooray for the meds working, Seajoy! Still praying for complete healing!

Ed, my knees are giving out as well but I'm determined to be on 'em as long as possible! It's so comforting to know that God hears you no matter what isn't it?

Kae

[latebloomer]

Seajoy, glad to hear that your son is doing better.

[seajoy]

Thanks Kae and LB.

[Tofferer]

^_^ Makes it easier doesn't it? I try to do what I can at the time and not worry about tommorow, afterall, maybe I won't be here tommorow? :holy:


[/B]

I don't that I will be here an hour from now much less tomorrow. What God wills is exactly what God wills and nothing less.

[QuiltAngel]

As Latebloomer said in the Alehouse, we met on Friday. You would think that since we live about 11 miles from each other that would have happened sooner!

I was waiting to talk with the widow and give her a card that a friend had wanted me to give to her and I am approached and asked, "do I know you?'

Since this was at a funeral and there are usually many family members who are not from here, I gave my usual answer that I am the Pastor's wife.

Latebloomer then knew it is I from CF and introduced herself as LB. We had a nice chat.

Thanks for the compliments regarding the service. I shall pass them on to my hubby.

[WildStrawberry]

I'm so giddy I can hardly stand myself!!

Due to all sorts of concerns and medical reasons and other things, Mike and I made a big decision this weekend.

We moved the wedding date up.

To June 28th.

Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.

I've got the nervous giggles. I can't sleep I'm so excited and I think I'm gonna plotz. *G* :swoon::swoon:

And who knows, with the wedding in June, I MIGHT be able to convince Himself that our "honeymoon" could be in St Louis somewhere 'round August??? *G*

Ladies (and gents) any advice??

Kae

[ctay]

I guess just talk to him and see what he says about the honeymoon being in St. Louis

[WildStrawberry]

I guess just talk to him and see what he says about the honeymoon being in St. Louis

LOL Yeah, I'll do that.

I mean, any advice about the wedding?? It's a really really short time to be doing all the planning in, but we're not having a huge one. Just close family and close family friends (who really should be considered "family")

Kae

[LilLamb219]

No advice, but best wishes! :clap:

You don't want advice from someone who hyperventilates at the thought of their own wedding, or do you? :sorry:

If you can solve the equation, please pass me the answer.

[WildStrawberry]

So I found this great new way to waste time when I'm supposed to be writing...LOL.

It's called Stumble Upon and it's an add on for Firefox. (I'm not sure if it works with other browsers...yet) Basically, you download it (no malware or anything like that) and it installs a tool bar. There's a button that says "Stumble!" and it will randomly go to a web page. The picks are based on what you tell the site when you sign up (like mine are ancient history, books, art, music, etc) and then you can rate pages you go to.

I've had the most fun pressing that button. LOL You never know what will turn up. I haven't seen anything objectionable either which is really cool.

Oh, and Lambie? Are you working on your 101 in 1001 list? I'm stuck at number 80.

Kae

[DaRev]

You have no idea how accurate that assessment is.

Ain't that the truth! :P

Hey! I just thought of something. Isn't there a state in this hear Union that allows you to marry yourselves? I mean, no need for a Pastor (and you've already got one in any case) or JP...you just say "we're married" like in the old Scottish Handfasting way.

Just a thought...

Easy, went for picnic at the Owens Beach. After cooking some hot dogs, I had the not so bright idea of putting the bar-b-que under the front bumper of the car so others might not get hurt while we went for a walk and join up with some family members of mine. When we got back to the car, the fire department had just finished putting out the fire. My guess, the plastic bumper shroud melted and caught fire. Dodge Spirit a la Fire.

They'll Know we are Amish by our ride.

[Studeclunker]

Ctay, with hay at twenty-five dollars a bale and grain at a consumerate price, it's just as expensive as driving a car (in California that is...). Besides, the way people drive around here, riding or driving a horse on the road is taking your life in your hands.

Rad, you're entirely right. That's why I was trying so diligently to move out of this state. Every time I tried to though, everything went straight to... um... heck... in a handbasket. It seems to be the Lord's desire for me to remain here. For the moment anyway...

Are you ready for this? It's been snowing all day here!:eek: The weather has been in the upper sixties and lower seventies for over a month and now it's snowing! Go figure! Sadly, there isn't enough to matter a... darn. We really need the water. It doesn't matter what form it takes...:help:

Well, I'm baaaaaack! Another fun and successful confirmation retreat has come and gone. Pictures will be available on the church website within a few days. We had 20 youth from 5 churches. :clap:

[ctay]

$25 a bale?????? Must have gold in it. We payed $3.75 a bale.

[ctay]

I need a retreat............... a long one LOL don't care where.

[filosofer]

$25 a bale?????? Must have gold in it. We payed $3.75 a bale.
When I was a teen, I earned money cutting, raking, baling, and hauling hay bales and made a penny/bale!


Cutting oak trees down, into 10 ft lengths, sawing into 15 inch length pieces, stacking, drying, splitting, hauling, and putting it in the person's shed I made $10/cord.






Ah yes, the good old days!!

[ctay]

I'm not sure what a cord of wood goes for now. We have an insert in our fireplace, hubby just cuts a tree down or if one falls he'll cut it up when we need it.

[latebloomer]

I remember how my grandparents lived when they were still on the farm. No running water, no indoor plumbing, wood burning stove in the kitchen. I remember the wood burning stove for heat before they converted to oil. They did have electricity and a phone. When they moved to town when I was a teenager, Grandma had to learn to cook all over again. They always had hot water--huge kettle on the back of the cook stove was always kept full.

[Studeclunker]

Well... California is the 'Golden State'.;)

Bloomer, have you ever cooked on a wood burning stove? If not, let me give you a hint; they're very hungry. One must constantly feed them firewood. Still, it is fun once in a while. By the by, that's where the phrase "she can't even boil water," comes from. It insinuated that someone couldn't keep the proper heat up on the stove. IE: they didn't feed the stove fast enough or correctly.

[Tofferer]

I remember using a stove like that up at a cabin use to goto when out hunting. If you stoked it just right, you could cook, but it wouldn't keep that cabin very warm.

[DaRev]

[LilLamb219]

We have a wood burning stove and we can heat our family room up to about 90 degrees!! But then again, we have a really good stove and we have blowers to move the heat into the room.

I've used it to cook only a couple things, but you can't control the temperature. It takes a while to get a good roaring fire going in a stove...you need to go slow with it really and build up. I've gotten to be a pro at ours! :cool:

Depends on what kind of wood it is. Here, it's anywhere from $100 to $175, or it was last winter.

[Studeclunker]

Straw or hay? Round or square bale?

Regular three string bale. About 100-125 lbs.

Depends on what kind of wood it is. Here, it's anywhere from $100 to $175, or it was last winter.

Here it's $175 for fir/pine and around two hundred for oak. More in winter. Of course, George and I have forty acres of both for free!;)

My boy called tonight and the 500 acres that they are allowed to live on is going to be populated with like minded "end times" families. They are going to learn to live "off the grid" and be self-suffecient. Gee it's scary how kids grow up to be like their parents. I lived my whole life wanting to live like that but I was too lazy to realize that dream even though I do live somewhat like that now with a woodstove and oil lamps for electric outages, well water and using batteries and an inverter for emergencys. Got a generator but it's on the fritz right now.

LOL! I love it! He should have taken up residence here in the land of the nutzies (California)! Growing good Colombian is legal as long as it's for medicinal use!;)

Frankly, I think we should legalize the stuff (Mary-ja-wanna that is)! I've been around pot-heads all my life and never had a problem with them. Now alkies, smokers (the rude ones), and druggies (we're talking the perscription-type, legals), have always been a problem. Of course, legalization will never happen. You see, the government doesn't want to legalize something that one can grow in the backyard and they can't tax!;)

Same deal in Ontario, Canada. With a Dr's. Script, you can have two plants.

A few farmers have tried growing commercial hemp. It is one S.O.B. to bale, :mad:winds around everything worse than flax.

Nope, Grandma wouldn't let us touch that stove. But she sure cooked a lot of food on it. Nothing fancy, just plain farm food, big on her own farm-raised chickens and home grown vegetables.

Years ago, I remember seeing a professional wrestler on TV (I wandered through a room where someone else was watching). He was supposed to be a hillbilly type, and he was showing how he trained. First he had to warm up the kitchen. I laughed my head off when he walked up to a cookstove exactly like Grandma's and threw the firewood into the oven! No real country boy would have made that mistake.

[WildStrawberry]

You know, I honestly think that good plain food is the best stuff on earth.

Give me good down home country cooking and I'm a happy girl.

Ya know Kay, it's a good thing you're so much younger and spoken for. Otherwise, I just might be tempted to make a fool of myself. Oops, too late! Already did that several times today. I meant in referrence to... Oh, never mind.:o :sorry:

Yeah, I like simple home cooking too. So much so that it's something I do a lot of. I mean, if one's single and likes that kind of thing, gotta do it myself or do without.;) I used to have a Copperclad wood stove. During the winter I'd cook on it out on the porch. Had to use the porch as my LandLord would'nt let me put it in the kitchen. Sadly, had to sell it to make ends meet late last year. Still have the parlour stove though. Now it keeps George's shop nice and toasty.

I'm having a hard time right now. :sigh:

I had to take Oscar to the vet tonight. He started vomiting bile last night and his breathing became erratic and very hard.

The Vet did some x-rays and pretty much came to the same conclusion I had...he has congestive heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy. (which is a fancy way of saying that his heart is enlarged and there is fluid filling his chest cavity.) He also has arrhythmia and tachycardia.

So, we started him on some diuretics and heart pills and I'm to watch him until Friday and then call and give the Vet an update. From her tone and directions, I don't think she expects him to get any better. In fact, I think she's trying to get me ready for the worst.

I know that to some, he's "just a cat". I understand that there are people who don't have the attachments that others have to their pets.

But Oscar is my baby. He's been my best friend and constant companion for the last 13 years. I saw him being born. I chose him from the moment he arrived in this world...I am his "mommy". He's my BOY. My Oscarmonster. My baby. *small laugh* Heck, I love him more than I love most people. *g* He sure is sweeter.

And it's not like I didn't know it was going to happen..."someday". I just didn't expect "someday" to be "soon". And I just have the feeling that it's going to be a matter of days instead of the months and years I'd hoped for when this started.

I don't know what to ask for with all of this. I want to ask for prayers that he'll get better. I don't know how some would take that...but...if you all can find it in your hearts...could you pray for him?

And please, pray that, when the time comes, I can make the right decision.

Because it's going to be the hardest thing I'll ever have to do.

Thanks everyone for listening to me ramble on. Love you all bunches 'n stuff!

Kae

[porterross]

Kae :hug:

It's not silly to love Oscar as much as you do. I had my girl, Natasha, for close to 19 years. :( The pain is real and love is only as large as our ability to give it, so it's no surprise that you're hurting.

Oscar is a big part of your life and there's nothing to apologize for in admitting that losing him will hurt. Just remember how special you were to him and how much better you made his life, too. He is fortunate to have you as a mommy and I'm certain he knows that. :pray:

[Tofferer]

kae,


I understand. I'd feel bad too if I were to lose Delilah. She is the first cat we've had that actually tends to like me. I would miss her if she died. I'll upload a picture of her sometime.

[ctay]

Kae I understand. I lost my riding horse a few years ago, she got sick, we took her to the vet and she didn't get over it, we ended up having to put her down, she was my riding buddy.When the vet come out here to put her to sleep, I couldn't go out there and watch. I still hadn't found a horse to replace her, I still makes me sad when I think about her. I still miss her

[Tofferer]

ctay,

That reminds me of my old dog, Brute. He was hit by a car when he and I were both 15. I still miss him now and then.

[LilLamb219]

aw, I'm about to cry. One of the toughest things is the decision to put down a pet. Our kitty wasn't even 5 when we had to have her put to sleep because of a tumor that had taken over her ribcage. It was absolutely horrible for me to do, but it was so peaceful for her.

I'll keep you guys in my prayers, Kae. The Lord will be your strength.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful support and prayers.

Oscar seems to be breathing better today. I gave him another diuretic pill this morning 'round 10 and he's made some more "concrete" in the litter box. (:D) He's currently sleeping in his 2nd favorite spot...behind our "ugly chair".

He slept with me all night last night. We had some good snuggle time and I talked with him and told him how much I love him and that, if he needs to go, it's okay with me. He's been a great buddy and...well...he's my baby.

Thanks again everyone.

Kae

[seajoy]

How is Oscar today?

[WildStrawberry]

He's doing really well! He's fussing at me and being Mister Perky Buns. His breathing is much better and he seems to be feeling really great. *G*

Hi everyone! Golly I missed you all! I was going totally bonkers wondering what was going on with everyone! But here you all are! http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c370/Kaemea/yahoo.gif

I sort of like the new colors. I agree that the font is pretty light but I'm not too fussed about it. It was so boring without all of you! http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c370/Kaemea/cactus.gif

So, what did everyone do for their couple of days "vacation" from TCL?? I did pretty much nothing except clean and take care of Oscar and the other kitties. Oscar's breathing is pretty much back to normal and he seems to be a bit perkier. He's still not eating as much as before but I'm wondering if that's because of the drugs. I'm going to call the vet tomorrow and see if we can't take the diuretic down to twice a day instead of thrice a day.

Anyway, I'm so happy the board is back! W00t and all of that!!

Kae. (I sure hope my smilies move for y'all. They're cute ones!)

Well at least I made you smile. My work here is done.

;)

Start thinking about tomorrow. I like to smile everyday. :D

[WildStrawberry]

Ahhh MAN...sheesh! :doh: You mean I gotta THINK now?

Oy.

:D

seajoy,
that is NOT how we think of you. You are a warm and caring person. We like you just the way you are. We go back a long ways and I know what I say is true.

Hugs and prayers for you.

I hate changes!:mad: Just spent over an hour piddling around rebuilding my CF character. Grrrr....

How does one get the background to cover the whole background??? mine seem to only want to do a narrow strip....:scratch:

Someone was mentioning a problem with an older pet (was it Kae and Oscar???). Not able at the moment to scroll back and check. I'm in a similar boat. Nana (at my feet) is getting older at thirteen and I'm facing that time she will no longer be with me. So I spend all the time with her I can. She goes with me on my jobs. Often Nana just stays in the car (or crawls under it). Sometimes, when I'm working in the yard, Nana barks to be let in the car at home. She just likes sleeping on the seat. Silly girl.:)

Stude, for 1 blessing, you can purchase a bigger backround. I can't remember how you find them, though. :doh::)
You will get used to it around here. If I can, anyone can.

The larger backgrounds are in a folder next to the "Cf Character" folder.

Tough being my friend, ain't it. ;)

[seajoy]

Thanks for your kind words Quilty. :) I've always considered you a great pal. I thank God that I met you when I did. :hug:

[QuiltAngel]

I need to work more on my character too, Stude. I just can't quite get it how I want it. Guess that means more time spend poking around here when I should be doing other things.

I really don't care for this new character program. It just makes things too difficult!!

that is why i haven't done one yet, lol, i need the time to just sit and try it out -- give it about 2 weeks until school is done!!

[dinkime]

well, i did a character -- not exactly how i want it, but i wanted to get in on the free stuff!!

[LilLamb219]

Exactly!!! Shop til you drop, honey!

[seajoy]

Hubby is coming home a day early *she says in a singsongy fashion* :)

[LilLamb219]

Is your hubby the lion standing next to you? LOL weren't you the one who was going to put the hubby next to your character? I might do that too! It's a good idea!

[seajoy]

Yep, the lion is my hubby. My big protector. :blush: It's a big shore to walk by myself. :)

[dinkime]

i think that is cool that you can do a whole family of characters together!

[Tofferer]

Guess I need to find a frog to represent Jeremiah and a cat to represent Hope.....

That was me, Stude. Prayers for you and Nana! Oscar's getting better. He's fussing at me 'cause I'm not in bed yet. *G*

Yes, yes it is, Seajoy darlin'. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c370/Kaemea/giggle.gif But ya know what? I'm up for the challenge. ;)

Actually, you made me think so hard last night, I got another bronchial infection. (or so I think...sure feels like the last one. :sigh:)

But all in all...things are here. :D I made Mike promise me ALL of Saturday to do wedding things. If I don't get the invites in the mail, we're not going to be able to invite anyone! :D

How's everyone doing this evening? QUILTY! You're back! (or have you always been here and I've just been blind?) anyway Hi! http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c370/Kaemea/hiya.gif

I found the greatest smiley for the next time theres a "fight" in the main forum. I wonder if I should unveil it here now...or wait a few days. I mean, it can't be THAT long until there's a new disagreement now can it? ;)
