*** OUR GATHERING PLACE *** Fellowship and Laughter - Welcome to RF!

[Hadassah]

I just got the call....my aunt passed into Jesus' arms a few minutes ago....

We beseech Thee, O Lord,
in Thy mercy,
to have pity on the soul of Thy handmaid, Hildreth;
do Thou, Who hast freed her
from the perils of this mortal life,
restore to her the portion of everlasting salvation.
Through Christ our Lord,
amen


Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord and give comfort and peace to her loved ones. :pray:



:hug: for you, Terri. I am so sorry for your loss.

[terri910]

Dont' tell me that... I don't have clothes for weather like that. I don't have anything heavier than a fleece jacket. O.o
Do you have any relatives that could loan you a coat while you're there?

I hear ya.....living in southern California, I usually don't have a lot of need for clothing suited for snow or sub-freezing temperatures. Most of my shoes are open-toed sandals!

[Hadassah]

Morning Devotional

“Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions.” Ephesians 2:4-5

Beautiful. That was wonderful, Meri, thank you. :hug:

[terri910]

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord and give comfort and peace to her loved ones. :pray:



:hug: for you, Terri. I am so sorry for your loss.
Thanks, Hadassah....and everyone!

I will miss her -- she was such fun! I imagine the funeral will be sometime this week....and so, the remaining family will come together again and we will share wonderful stories and memories.

Gotta duck out now. One of my employees couldn't make it in tonight so after awaking at 8am today, I get to pull a 6 to 6 tonight. I'll check in ocassionally tonight.

On the plus side, the old lady started in on me last night. So I don't have to spend tonight listening to her carp at me. :woot:

I am itching to complete my current work assignment so I can start clearing out weeds. However, it is always nice to have fresh dill this time of year. Sweet peas are doing well enough, and the daffodils are beginning to push up. The raccoons got the anemones again.

Do you have any relatives that could loan you a coat while you're there?

I hear ya.....living in southern California, I usually don't have a lot of need for clothing suited for snow or sub-freezing temperatures. Most of my shoes are open-toed sandals!I'm going to find out. Most of my relatives are short though. I had to be the only tall person in my immediate family. I'm going to get leggings, gloves, a hat, and try and find a coat before I leave Phx. Otherwise, I'll just stay inside as much as possible.

[Hadassah]

I just looked out the window to find a fire truck parked outside........that's a little nerve wracking.........last time there was a fire truck parked outside my place, there was a fire. There were no lights or sirens going, so I don't know why it was there.

How tall is tall? I'm tall and if you need a coat, I can always ship one of mine to Rochester for you.

Sooo....no silver bells or cockle shells...no pretty maids all in a row?

Back in the days where there was no freedom of the press and freedom of speech might land one in trouble, some of the rhymes we now call nursery rhymes had a much darker meaning.

Mary, Mary Quite Contrary was originally a commentary on Mary Tudor, also known as Bloody Mary. She married Prince Philip of Spain and tried to conceive, but failed. "How does your garden grow?" is a sneer about her infertility. The silver bells, and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row were in reference to torture devices. (Think about the second one a minute.)

[Meriweather]

Hey Meri do you know how a military wedding works in a Roman Catholic Church?;)

No. My brother had left the military before he was married. Why? Are you thinking of joining the military and then getting married?

How tall is tall? I'm tall and if you need a coat, I can always ship one of mine to Rochester for you. I'm 5'11'' and a little overweight. I think I'm going to be able to borrow one of my uncle's coats. It shouldn't be too big a deal. It's only a few days.

Snow is beautiful, and we never get it here. I was consoling myself. ;)

Welcome back.Huh?:shifty:

[Meriweather]

Urban legend. But a fun one. (It's up there with the reason of Ring Around the Rosie being about the black plague.)

Don't think so. I was studying the history of nursery rhymes long before the internet. Still, I do not recall if it was someone's theory or proven fact.

[meggers49]

Huh?:shifty:

is there anything that i can say to you that you understand the first time i write it????

you were banned. you are back. welcome back. i was trying to be nice.

He did? That's phenomenal.

[Mimiheart]

Don't think so. I was studying the history of nursery rhymes long before the internet. Still, I do not recall if it was someone's theory or proven fact.I was too. My stepmother wouldn't let us sing some nursery rhymes because of their supposed meanings. I went to the library and did a lot of studying to prove her wrong. If I remember correctly, that one wasn't written until a couple hundred year until after any of the Queen Marys. (There were a couple of legends making it about the Virgin Queen Mary, for similar reasons.)

[RayMan]

I am not an idiot!:cry:What do you think I am a simpleton!:naughty::liar:


Manners, bc, manners. Treat the ladies with respect.

[meggers49]

I am not an idiot!:cry:What do you think I am a simpleton!:naughty::liar:

you know what, no i don't think you're an idiot, so here's an idea. when you say something that seems like you don't know what i'm talking about, i'll explain it. if you don't want me to do that, don't reply in a questioning manner.

when i say something and you say HUH? that tends to give one the impression you're not understanding, hence clarification.

if you don't want me to clarify, don't respond like that and don't bitch at me after i do.

or, better still, i'll just put you on ignore, because you are a tad annoying about this......tata.

you get this or do you need it explained too??

[Meriweather]

He did? That's phenomenal.

It is?

Carlos, Prince of Asturias
Isabella of Spain
Catherine, Duchess of Savoy
Philip III of Spain

(There were a couple of legends making it about the Virgin Queen Mary, for similar reasons.)

I remember there was a later, "sanitized" symbolism of the rhyme. It involved church bells, pilgrimages, and nuns.

(I would have rebelled, too, if I had been forbidden to read nursery rhymes as a child.)

I'm sorry, Ray! I must have been lost in one of my rare, serious moments.

She's had pneumonia since before Christmas...thought it was better, went back to the doctor at the end of last week they said she still had it...she's been going to the Dr's office everyday for I.Vs and breathing treatments...she went back Friday and they said her xray doesn't look any better.

I don't know. I also got to the point where anything my stepmother said was automatically wrong. It tended to be the way to go to keep sanity in that house. (Remember, she's descended from John Quincy Adams, and not John Adams.)

Henry Adams was the immigrant ancestor of that family. I have a family line that traces back to Henry (but not through John Quincy and John).

[Mimiheart]

Henry Adams was the immigrant ancestor of that family. I have a family line that traces back to Henry (but not through John Quincy and John).None of my family goes back that far in the U.S. The closest we get is just after the Civil War on my father's side. Though, I always laugh that there's a "Jack London" in the family tree.

I also have an Uncle Sam whose birthday is the 4th of July.

Heavens! Is it just me, or does it seem that there is an inordinate amount of illness going around and LASTING, lately?

Prayers for your mother, CID...

[CID_0687]

Thanks everyone...Mom seems to get pneumonia at least once a year...but this is the first time I can remember it lingering for so long.

He deserved the phone-throw yesterday. After the week I had (and the headache is still there), he decided that sleeping until 5 p.m. was perfectly acceptable. After (one of) his bosses called for the sixth time, I went into his room and threw the phone at him.

A family has to be screened before accepting an overseas assignment - this is for their protection as much as the service. When we were in England, one family lied on their screening because they wanted the assignment, they then proceeded (once settled in) to demand their son receive special services for issues they had hidden. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent to bring services to him in England where he should have never been.

Our tax dollars could be better spent.

I found out the same time you did, and the strange thing is that it changed from the New Testament to the Old Testament between the time I looked it up and when I typed in on here. Go figure that one out. I must have a female version of the Bible. I thought I had the one that said God changes not. :doh:

The woman has the headache from hell and has had it for weeks, she's getting very little relief from strong pain meds, she had an allergic reaction to a pain med her doctor's office gave her (a med they should not have given her with her history of allergies), she's getting jerked around by the insurance company, and she just had a beloved family member die and is attempting to take care of multiple things so she can go to the funeral, while having a blind and seemingly very inconsiderate husband husband and 3 small children, and you want to make jokes about PMS? Not good, dude. :naughty:

[vir doctus]

sarcasm doesn't translate to the internet well... I've learned the hard way

That may be why I am hated in 22 countries... Or, it could be that I really am a crackpot with an inflated ego. :shifty:

He's just been more inconsiderate than usual the last few days--or I'm more sensitive. Or both. And I don't think hben knows all of what has happened.

Oh, and one more thing... my little brother tried to kill himself again. So he's in a facility for a few days--and my father says he's going to take him back in the house after this. Last time I was over there, he'd been back from rehab for a few weeks and had a refrigerator full of beer in his bedroom. Just what a recovering drug addict, eighteen-year-old needs. And my father is simply not seeing reason with this.

Oh, I didn't know all that was going on. Please accept my apology, Mimi. I will stop the wise cracks, and say in all sincerity that my prayers are with you and your family...really. :pray:

[Mimiheart]

The good news, while in a month I normally have maybe one or two students reschedule, all but one of my students had things come up and wanted to reschedule the lessons for next week to earlier in the week--which means I'm not missing anything other than my Sunday morning class. The student that didn't need to reschedule was perfectly fine with delaying her lesson until after class on Tuesday when I get back.

[RayMan]

"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself";)Yeah that is the NT!:rolleyes::clap:


I was referencing the "casting the first stone" remark. That is in John 8.


Joh 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Well, maybe BC had his Bible upside down. That would put the N.T. on the left and the O.T. on the right, but you'd still have to be able to read upside down. Hmmmm...or not.

Yes. And right about now, I'd be doing my neighbor a favor by getting rid of that SQUEAKING chair.

(Seriously, the sound of it squeaking is making me want to throw up. It's at JUST the right pitch.)

Then the next time you catch him not in it, get you some vasaline, or bar soap and rub one of these on where it squeakes.

What a coincidence. I am guilty of all of the above. Willful ignorance, clipping my nails in my own favorite chair and screwing up the title of my latest thread. And I was able to do them all without even trying. Oh yes, and I was able to get chewed out by Haddie for my ignorance about Mimi's situation...but that was not willful ignorance even though it was ignorance nevertheless. :cool:

[Mimiheart]

My pet peeves are willful ignorance and my dad clipping his fingernails in my favourite chair. :shudder:Well, he could always clip his toenails there instead.

I have a few sound triggers--things that make me shudder and get goosebumps, and when my head is bad, make me want to vomit.

nail clipping is one of them
the particular pitch of hubby's chair
And paper ripping/people scribbling with markers

I've had to overcome that last one a bit with my classes. But I usually go out and buy crayons/pencils so I don't have markers available for paper. (Dry erase on whiteboards don't do it.)

I drive people crazy opening gifts, though. I refuse to rip paper. I will take every single piece of tape off to open a gift. I also won't rip into cardboard boxes for the same reason.

How did you know? What discernment...you are a genuine prophet...no doubt. My 17 year old daughter just asked me if I minded sleeping on the couch since she had just crawled in my side of our bed. It seems that her bed had one of her pets on it a little while ago and it was less than clean, so rather than changing her sheets tonight, she just crawled in my warm spot and was going to sleep. Sometimes it is tough being the head of my house and having to make all these tough decisions like deciding to sleep on the couch. :doh: :wall: :cool:

Beyond Hope

Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” —Luke 23:43

A 110-year-old Israeli Bedouin shepherd was admitted to a Beersheba hospital while experiencing a heart attack. In spite of his age, doctors worked hard to save him. The man was thought to be the oldest heart patient ever to be treated successfully with anticlotting drugs. A hospital spokesperson reported that the Bedouin returned to his tent in the Negev Desert to tend his goats.

The care given to this 110-year-old man faintly echoes the way Jesus responded to those people we consider beyond help. His ability and willingness to go beyond social barriers to help lepers and social outcasts went far beyond the normal expectations of what a good person would do.

Even in the agony of His own suffering, Jesus reached out to a dying man everyone else regarded as beyond help. The man was a criminal, condemned to die, and only hours from entering a lost eternity. In that moment, Jesus responded to the man’s cry for help and said, “Today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43).

Do you know someone who seems beyond help today? Perhaps you think you are without hope. The God of the Bible specializes in giving help to those regarded as so old, so guilty, or so weak as to be beyond help. — Mart De Haan

The Edge
by Michael Card

Most of us will never know
How dark this world can seem
When life becomes more nightmare than a dream.
So to all of you who have survived
A visit to the edge,
I trust that you will understand this pledge.

Chorus:
I promise I will always leave
The darkness for the light.
I swear by all that's holy
I will not give up the fight.
I'll drink down death like water
Before I ever come again
To that dark place where I might make
The choice for life to end.

I've found that as I travelled
Through the inscape of my land
That mountaintops make valleys in between.
And when that nameless sadness
Like a cloud comes over me
I look back on all the brightness I have seen.

CHORUS

Bridge:
I realize that though my world
Might seem so torn apart,
Most often it is joy that breaks the heart.
And that I am the richest man
Though I must beg for bread,
For the very One who might condemn
Has called me friend instead.

CHORUS

I will always leave the darkness for the light.
I will not give up the fight.

Before heading off to school today, I'm going to play Mama Hen and cluck a little over all my chicks.

We were given two heads up at the beginning of the weekend; since then we guilty parties have been working self-correcting, but let’s continue to be aware of our current faults:

1. Do not take threads off topic.
2. Discuss the topic, not any of its posters.

As has already been noted, we don’t have to go to the opposite extreme with this; sometimes a shift to break building tension is a very good thing. This rule of thumb may help: If you choose to briefly take a thread off topic for its own good, accept the responsibility for returning it to its topic. Another thought is to derail the mood if need be, but not the topic.

Threads do take on a rhythm when read all at once at the end of the day. Derailing can be seen as an annoyance at that time. On the other hand, I believe those of you who are here when tension is at its peak need to do whatever needs to be done for the good of the group present.

As I noted, the rest of the weekend seemed to go smoothly, so group hug, everyone--and pats on the back all around. I still say we are the BEST forum here on Hannity, but I might be slightly biased (being one of the guilty).

Here is a prayer for us this day.

May God bless us and keep us;
May He make His face shine upon us,
and be gracious unto us;
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon us,
and give us peace.

Great devotional today, CID. :hug:

Hey Jet,

Did I wish you a Happy New Year yet?

If not,

Happy New Year!

Gag, retch, hurl.

I know, right. Somebody put it on the RoadKill Cafe menu 'cause I'm dying here.

Three heart attacks on a platter.

Thanks Mimi.

Goodby everyone. This Intel based laptop is headed for the garbage can and I won't be talking to any of you again.


It's a tough decision but boycotting Israel IS the only way to go...











(If anybody takes this seriously and reports me to TTTM, let me say in advance, :rolleyes:)
Well, mine had an AMD Turion...so I'm safe there...but I'm on Vista...and well, my cell phone is out the window!!

Yeah, that'll show 'em!!

Be a heart hero and tell her not to do it. :angel:

You are funny! At least we agree on important things like Scripture and that soy is bad ;)

It has been a while since I've posted a quote. Here is one I found quite refreshing:

Grace is not a license to sin, but to walk in humility in the sight of God. Grace frees us to be active in the works of God. We are not tied up with how much we have done, or not done, but we learn by the grace of God to rest in His love.

gpd, love your avie!!! What beautiful people!

And I LOVE the quote. Where did you find it?

And, don't forget, we kind of liked RayMan while he was here. :angel:

Thanks, Jet. My daughter and grand daughter (thus gpd, grandpa dave). That is about the extent of my offspring.

I use dailychristianquotes.com I try to use other than Christian quotes due to respect for this fellowship thread. There are many thousands of quotes there.

I have a special place in my heart for meat, and in my stomach, and my thighs and ............

But really, I was a Meat Cutter, and Meat Market Asst. Mgr for several years.

I miss RayMan...just isn't the same without him

Is the BlackBerry an Israeli developed device? Not nearly as handy as the laptop was.

Well, in RayMan's eyes, I'm not here so I guess it's a fair trade :cool:

He should have bought Korean. :snooty:

In the interest of staying on topic (do we have to stay on topic in this tread :eh:), and in the absence of our dearly beloved RayMan, I appoint you interim P. Popito until the Brethren gather to make an official P. Pope. :cool:

My Mom loves her meat well done so I grew up not liking red meat (except hamburgers and meatloaf) as it was usually dry or tough. However, I was introduced to medium well and then medium and now I enjoy red meat! Especially prime rib :razz:

I can almost sense the Venerable RayMan in our presence...

When you call me P Pope it makes me think I have a bladder condition...but I understand and I accept your nomination...I will do my best to fill Ray's shoes.

My best friend's father was in the army...her Mom would run down to the commissary, buy a couple of pounds of ground round, put some spices in it, and serve it up raw. My friend loves raw meat to this day....:sick:

When I worked in the market, we'd be cutting filets or ribeyes...cut off a small sliver for our selves...mmm...raw meat...we'd also, at times, cut ribeyes and then fry them on the hot plate on the meat wrapper and have ribeye sammitches....:drool:

So is your meat dripping with blood when you cook it? Or do you even cook it?

My dad used to make his hamburgers like this: fry 30 seconds on side one, flip, 30 seconds on side two. My mom put a stop to that. Have no idea why. But I guess 47 years later, he's ok with it.

Are you still in Marin County? If so, I'll be over the bridge in ten minutes :mrgreen:
Fresh baked bread is wonderful. And probably a lot healthier than stuff bought in the stores.

If I know who ground the beef, and that it's fresh I'll cook my burgers medium...nice pink center...but if it's ground beef that we've picked up from a store that I don't know anyone they're cooked well...Steaks are medium rare, no exceptions. Cook out the juices cooks out the flavor.

Before you cross the bridge, take a right and travel about 3000 miles.

Boycotting Israel.

He threw his Intel computer and his cell phone away.

I wonder what it will take to bring him back? :think:

See, in the olden days, one didn't have to worry so much about that sort of thing.

[CID_0687]

We'll need to get him a Mac with an AMD processor and make sure it's running OS and not Windows...that should cover it.

Yeah....I could tell you some horror stories about some meat markets I've walked into. :sick:

I've been involved in a thread derailment lately (but it's not my fault). Someone typed something upside down, and I had to learn that trick, then somebody else typed in some musical notes.

What other fun computer tricks (that aren't too hard) do you guys know that I can learn for my entertainment?
