Maybe if Mimi tried counting sheep. But then, when I do that, if I haven't gone to sleep by the time I get to sheep number ninty nine, I always have to get up out of bed and go outside to hunt for that one stinker who ran off and got lost. Sometimes it takes me all night to find that one lost sheep, and I am always so tired the next day. On second thought, maybe "Sominex" would be better. :razz:

watch the weather channel. http://bestsmileys.com/sleeping/2.gif

[Meriweather]

Good morning! Did everyone sleep well? Hopefully without Sominex or sheep bleating?

I am keeping in mind two of my favorite thoughts for the day. The first is by Abraham Lincoln.

"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

The second:

"He started to sing as he tackled the thing that could not be done and he did it."

It's my last week with this particular set of classes. I can't imagine how this age group manages to tuck themselves into one's heart, but they do. The feeling is like being skinned alived, inch-by-inch. (It's always this way--part of the process--grief, healing, and on to something new again.)

[CID_0687]

Good Morning!!

Daily Devotional is on it's way.

Today is the first day in two weeks that I woke up and wasn't hacking up half my lungs....that's nice.

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels." 2 Corinthians 4:7

Dealing with disappointment (3)

Finally there's: Disappointment in ourselves. It's potentially the most debilitating kind of disappointment because it can throw you into a downward spiral that's hard to stop or recover from.

Peter had sworn undying love and fidelity to Jesus. "Lord, everybody else may abandon you, but not me! I'm yours till death" (See Mt 26:33-75). And he meant every word of it. But under the pressures surrounding the crucifixion he yields, and three times denies knowing Jesus. Later, remembering Jesus' words, "Before the rooster crows, you'll deny me three times," Peter, heartbroken by his own dismal failure, "went outside and wept bitterly" (Lk 22:62 NIV). Ever asked, "God, how can you possibly use someone as messed up as me?" Peter failed to meet his own expectations and went on a downer. But Jesus wasn't shocked. He was well aware of Peter's flaws when he called him into the ministry. He also knew that his blustering, outspoken disciple had a tender heart, so He extended grace to him rather than remove him from office. When Christ gave post-resurrection orders to "tell His disciples and Peter" (Mk 16:7 NIV) to meet Him in Galilee, He reaffirmed His choice of the failed disciple. The rest of Peter's story is New Testament history.

When (not if!) you confront failure: (1) Don't add insult to injury by letting disappointment mire you in hopelessness and despair. (2) Humble yourself and repent. Confess your sin; don't excuse, rationalize or blame circumstances and people. (3) Receive God's grace and forgiveness by faith, not by feelings. Don't let Satan convince you your case is beyond grace. (4) Get whatever help you need to get back on track - sooner, not later.WAIO.org

+1

Well, actually, probably more like +4. The rest of my family loves it, too. Older son used it as a basis for a speech he gave in the Optimist Speech contest when he was in 8th grade.

As I recall, the subject of the speeches was to be "How I Can Make A Difference In The World" -- his twist was that, per the movie's theme, we ALL make a difference in the world, the true question should be what KIND of difference we will make. His teacher told me she was (no pun intended) speechless when she read his draft, and she was so moved that she cried while reading it.

But he came in second in the contest, to someone who actually answered the question...*LOL*....still he beat out all the rest, which included high school students!

[gpd®]

This is well worth the short read.

An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life...

He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

One wolf is evil -- he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.

The other is good---he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too."

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied: "The one you feed".

She wanted to go out. She tapped me on the shoulder and ran to the door.

Are you sure she didn't want a shot of Rye?

[vir doctus]

Where's vir? She won't want to miss all this cat stuff.

Your cruelty knows no bounds. I'll pray that your heart of stone will be turned to flesh.

But I was thinking of you! Doesn't that mean my heart was in the right place? And it wasn't as if I posted a picture of Mimi's cat tapping her on the shoulder.

[Koushi Shinigami]

Probably catnip.

The Catholic church used to recognize cats as being of the devil. What happened to change that?

John Richard Stephens explains in his book, The Enchanted Cat how people twisted the concept of association with cats into something demonic and evil:

When people think of witches, they often think of cats. The association of cats with witchcraft began with the Catholic church's persecution of religious groups, some of whom worshipped the cat. In the 12th century this persecution spread to splinter groups of the church itself, such as the Cathars, whom the church accused of worshipping the Devil in the form of a cat. This led to stories of Satan's appearing at Black Masses as a cat.

The witch trials started in the 13th century. People began to believe that witches had the ability to turn into an animal, usually a hare or a cat, in order to transport themselves to a sabbat (a midnight meeting) presided over by the Devil.

Based on your post, I would have to guess that it was worship of cats, not cats themselves was the issue.

While I appreciate the neighborhood cats keeping down the rodent population, I also spend a good portion of every spring chasing cats away from young birds. I'm also allergic to cats, another minus point for me. On the other hand, I once was involved in taking care of a cat that had cancer--and it was a brave, spunky little thing.

I'm giving credit where credit is due. We hard-hearted people do this once a year--but never with people, only with cats. We have our standards.

I must take issue with this statement from your source.

The Cathars were NOT a splinter group of Catholicism.(ref. Wakefield and also Lambert)

[Hadassah]

Oh, you poor thing--this is terrible news. I hope the doctor can help you to feel better soonest. Can someone else take your son to school?

I have an appointment today at 3:20pm EST.

Nope, I had to take him. NTS: when dizzy and have to walk in snow and ice to get to car, don't wear high heeled boots. :eek:

Here is a warming thought for this snow-filled Los Angeles evening:

I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.

Koushi = a whistle that was attached to an arrow which was shot to mark the begining of a battle.
Shinigami is the Japanese god of death.
The airplane is the American built Vought Corsair. The Japanese refered to it as "Whistling Death".

I could not find that exact phrase or any record of the correct Japanese words for the reference to that plane. So I improvised.

BTW, I work for a Japanese company right now. ;)

HA!! i WAS right.......and i knew that before you gave your answer....

Baa Baa Black Sheep anyone??

G'nite all. I am taking my feverish, hurting, nauseated, dizzy self to bed and not getting up until it's time to get my son up for school.

I'm sorry you're sick. The good thing about the one you have is it's fairly short lived.

Oh, no!!!

Has anyone in RF dodged this flu/cold bullet?

not here. that stupid thing lasted forever. but i was only really bad 2 weeks (well...i'll redefine bad.............my husband didn't mind, since i couldn't talk..............except when he was TRYING to hear me, then it drove him nuts)... lol

[meggers49]

I've had a couple of threats, but managed to chase them off in the early stages with hot tea and EmergenCs.

echinecea and cold eze are great too

i avoided the flu all last winter with echinecea......sit in a triage room for 8 hours a night with people hacking and spewing and not get sick........gotta be the herbs.....

Hey, feel sorry for me then. Heading out the door in a minute so wife can drop me off at lot for Van pool to S.F. 6am and totally dark.

Poor me.

i am hereby pronouncing by edict and fiat that no one has to go to work while it's dark out......except the night shift, cuz i can't make it not be dark at night except in alaska, but i'm working on it.

that is all.

[meggers49]

And my cat just tapped me on the shoulder... I have a weird house.

my cat does that when i'm sleeping and she wants me to get up. she also plucks at the mini-blinds when they are down and obstruct her view. she plucks, then watches me (i peek through my covers to see what she's doing) and plucks again. If she doens't get enough attention, she walks across the head of the bed (on the pillows or our heads, or whatever is in her way)....and starts all over. she's an odd duck, but at almost 18, there's no changing her now. :)

Great guy to read. Challenging and inspiring.

Talk to me again after you have taught a first aid class or two. ;)

Looking back, I did everything I could to stay out of teaching for just the reason you stated. It's funny how life is able to suck you in to things you would rather avoid. I ran from teaching, convinced I would not make a good teacher; when there was no choice, working to be a good teacher was the only option left. Some days I'm brilliant at what I do. Other days, not so good. I still have to work hard at it.

[Meriweather]

What do you mean, "unofficial"? Even if you are the unofficial, you are the officially unofficial, which makes you official. That's always assuming that this is an official thread.

All of my rich boyfriends are out making money so they can buy me jewelry, take me to exotic places, stuff like that. :shifty:

I'd share if my religion didn't forbid such things.




:))NOT!:))

Let's make this a random act of kindness day.

Good morning everyone, and warm wishes to all of you.

I'm hoping my day goes better than I believe it might. Here to pie, apple pie, in the sky, hopes!

Well, I stayed home from work today because I'm sick, but it looks as if I have to go out and do some grocery shopping before the big storm hits. I'm surprised......it's actually on track as they predicted....the weathermen got it right.


oh, and I am feeling much better now.

Glad you're feeling better, Hadassah!

So far, I think I am, too! (of course, I haven't been upright for long...*LOL*)

Just take it easy and don't wear yourself out, ok? :hug:

[terri910]

I won't.

Let's just say that my baby steps are pretty much back to the beginning...*LOL*

[Hadassah]

I won't.

Mine, too.

Have A Nice Day

by Spike Milligan
'Help, help, ' said a man. 'I'm drowning.'
'Hang on, ' said a man from the shore.
'Help, help, ' said the man. 'I'm not clowning.'
'Yes, I know, I heard you before.
Be patient dear man who is drowning,
You, see I've got a disease.
I'm waiting for a Doctor J. Browning.
So do be patient please.'
'How long, ' said the man who was drowning. 'Will it take for the Doc to arrive? '
'Not very long, ' said the man with the disease. 'Till then try staying alive.'
'Very well, ' said the man who was drowning. 'I'll try and stay afloat.
By reciting the poems of Browning
And other things he wrote.'
'Help, help, ' said the man with the disease, 'I suddenly feel quite ill.'
'Keep calm.' said the man who was drowning, ' Breathe deeply and lie quite still.'
'Oh dear, ' said the man with the awful disease. 'I think I'm going to die.'
'Farewell, ' said the man who was drowning.
Said the man with the disease, 'goodbye.'
So the man who was drowning, drownded
And the man with the disease past away.
But apart from that,
And a fire in my flat,
It's been a very nice day.

[Mimiheart]

I hate it when people say drownded.

[Hadassah]

And how is Miss Mimi today?

[noelle12]

I'm having a bad day.

Our house is having plumbing problems. $400.

On the brighter side my daughter is feeling a lot better after fighting an ear infection.

[Dancer]

I hate it when people say drownded.Drowned?

Does it really go with the rhythm of the poem though? :think:

[terri910]

I am like that about "conversate."

That and "aks."

Axs. Please get the spelling right. It is a California word after all.

Comes up all the time when I am conversating with people here in the City.

I'm sorry, noelle.....

I hate plumbing problems. usually, they can't be put off, and they're so expensive to have an expert come and do that hubby tries to do them himself first, which is NEVER a loving scenario. And often we have to have the expert come in anyway. "I feel your pain." :hug:

(I think we need a more sympathetic hug smiley. Not one that looks so chipper)

[Dancer]

You down with "pasgetti" for spaghetti?My best friend nicknamed me sketti in high school because I said, "My friends are all meatballs. You know what that makes me? Pasketti, 'cause I hang around meatballs."

Yeah, no question I'm leaving this situation to the pros. My husband is great, and he can fix my computer all he wants to, but he's not messing with the plumbing.
