I've surrendered? What terms did I agree to?
I never offered terms. You simply admitted defeat. It was really the only intelligent course of action..kudos on that.

[RayMan]

Meri is correct.


The woman is always right. 'Nuff said. :whistle:

The woman - or wife - is always certain she is right. That is different from actually being right. Except in the woman's brain.

[Hadassah]

Ya'll remember me telling you guys several months ago the story about a 20 month old girl here in my town that was beaten to death by mom's 15 year old boyfiend? (No, that's not a typo. He is a fiend.)Mom had also beaten the child, but not on the day little Imani died.
The 18 year old mom was pregnant, as well.


Well, the mom gave birth to the new baby, a girl, on Thursday, and promptly lost custody!!!!! You're probably thinking, "Well, duh! Of course she did!" But no one in her family was allowed to take custody, either.

Yeah, that's why I'm sitting here feeling so intelligent--because I surrendered when I thought I was making it clear I wasn't surrendering. Oh, well, if I did, I did. I'll make up for it next time. ;)

Today was field day at school for my daughter.

For K-3, between 350-400 kids, my daughter got 2nd place overall, 2nd place in 75 yard dash, long jump, and softball throw.

Shall I just surrender now? (However, I go on record as stating it would make a great rule!)

[Fire Watch]

Another surrender? Ok then.

After six years (and four years for the other one) you would think my family would know how to spell my children's names.

It was a question! You keep accepting surrenders before I officially make them. Officially, you have no surrenders!

Saddam never officially surrendered either. Upon his capture, he stated he was "willing to negotiate".

No Man is an Island

No Man is an Island Folk Song

No man is an island, no man stands alone
Each man's joy is joy to me
Each man's grief is my own
We need one another, so I will defend
Each man as my brother
Each man as my friend

No man is an island far out in the blue
We all look to One above
Who our strength doth renew
When I help my brother
Then I know that I plant the seeds
Of friends that will never die

I saw the people gather
I heard the music start
The song that they were singing
Is ringing in my heart

No man is an island, no man stands alone
Each man's joy is joy to me
Each man's grief is my own
We need one another, so I will defend
Each man as my brother
Each man as my friend

This keeps getting worse. Because I didn't officially surrender, I must now consider myself captured?

I think escape plans may be in order. (Where am I being held?)

Then escape should be quite easy. All I need to do is be quiet.


I appreciate being distracted this evening. The boom was lowered at school today. We haven't quite conceded defeat there, either, but we are scrambling for, if not two weeks, then two days.

Yes, me too. It is so frustrating. The bottom line should be what is best for the students. For the next two weeks, I am what is best--particularly for two of the classes. I am also what is best for the staff. The current situation is not my fault, nor is it the fault of the students. I do understand rules, but there is such a thing as common sense. I've been out of compliance for so long that two weeks, or at least two days, should make NO difference on paper--and it makes one heck of a difference for these students.

[Meriweather]

Good luck with that.


Thanks. My motto is that there is always another way. The easiest way may be to volunteer the time, which I wouldn't mind doing. Someone has to stand up for what is best for those students. If it takes a volunteer, then so be it. I didn't work this hard to see it fall apart at this point.

Reach Out

Reach out and touch the lonely, Lord;
The destitute in pain.
Reach out and heal those who are sick,
So their prayers won't be in vain.

Reach out and lift the burdens
From the shoulders of the meek.
Let your gentle Spirit guide them,
So your countenance they will seek.

Reach out and touch the homeless, Lord.
Give them shelter from the storm.
Nourish their bodies with good food to eat.
From your blanket of love, keep them warm.

Reach out and touch the non-believers
So, through their eyes, you can reveal
That you died for them and their sins, too;
As your blood flowed free down Calvary hill.

Books of the Bible

There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? This is the most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Another friend studied it while playing the banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving the puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are real easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or a scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in the paragraph. During a recent fund raising event which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new sales record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Hummana humbly puts it, the books are right there in plain view hidden from sight. Those able to find them all will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also keep in mind, that punctuation and spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know all the answers. Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus, there really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph waiting to be found.

[melinda]

I didn't work the puzzle to find the 30 books, I only saw the obvious ones as I was proof reading for typos. I hope they really are all there. :)

Morning Devotional

I have found David...a man after My own heart. (Acts 13:22)

The Path to the Throne

The life of David could be captioned in these words: "I love God supremely, and there's nothing He asks of me that I won't do." Can you say that?

Everybody dies, but not everybody fully lives. The Bible says, "These are the last words of David" (2Sa 23:1). A man's last words are considered to be some of his most important words. During his lifetime David's son raped his sister, one son killed another, his wife turned her back on him, his best friend betrayed him, they took his kingdom, his mentor tried to kill him, his family rejected him and he spent a lot of time hiding in caves. Now he's going to speak to us one last time. What will he talk about? Goliath, Saul, Bathsheba?

No, listen: "David, the man who was raised up so high, David, the man anointed by the God of Jacob, David, the sweet psalmist of Israel. The Spirit of the Lord speaks through me; his words are upon my tongue. The God of Israel spoke. The Rock of Israel said to me: 'The one who rules righteously, who rules in the fear of God, is like the light of morning at sunrise, like a morning without clouds, like the gleaming of the sun on new grass after rain.' Is it not my family God has chosen? Yes, he had made an everlasting covenant with me. His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. He will ensure my safety and success" (2Sa 23:1-5). These words were recorded in Scripture for those of us who are less than perfect, but whose hearts never cease to hunger for God.

[terri910]

I hope he is better today. How old is he?
He is six years old...I read up on it online. It's actually probably one of a couple of feline viruses. The "bug" usually lasts for about 5 or 6 days, and treatment is palliative. Sometimes they will give them antibiotics. Basically, the same kind of thing we humans do to treat colds. We're going to call the vet today and see if they have anything to treat Sambo's symptoms. The last thing we want is for him to stop eating because he isn't feeling well from something non-fatal, and developing feline anorexia from it.

Not a fat cat, then.

[terri910]

I wonder......do our dreams really mean anything?
I think so....even if it is just our subconscious working through things that are bothering us.

Last night I dreamt that my husband and I were on a trip together, and we kept losing maps and tickets.

I think it is a mixture of two things that were on my mind yesterday before going to sleep: #1, my trip :dance:, and hubby's increasing problem with forgetting where he puts anything.

[terri910]

Not a fat cat, then.
Well, no, he isn't a fat cat. But we've had fat cats before that have developed anorexia, and then liver disease because of that.

I've had some dreams so horrifying (to me) that I don't even like to talk about them later. I don't even like saying the words, for fear I will cry. You could do a google search and see if there any of the elements in your dreams have "standard" meanings. (Not sure I think there is such a thing when it comes to dreams....but I don't study dreams, so what do I know?)

[Meriweather]

I wonder......do our dreams really mean anything?

I think they can--or at least trigger word or subject associations that might help us clarify what may be affecting us. And sometimes, dreams are just dreams. I seldom get nightmares I can't direct myself out of, but the day DaGooseMon switched his avatar from that cute goose to John Goodman on a shooting spree, I remember having a dream where DaGoose was chasing me across the country. I found some really good hiding places (I could dream direct at least that much), but he kept finding me.

Finally, trying to solve the problem, I yelled at him, asking him how he kept finding me. He told me Fire Watch had me on radar and was relaying the information to him.

I got so mad at Fire Watch, I forgot about being terrified of Goose, and the dream switched over to something else.

The 18 year old mom was pregnant, as well.


Well, the mom gave birth to the new baby, a girl, on Thursday, and promptly lost custody!!!!! You're probably thinking, "Well, duh! Of course she did!" But no one in her family was allowed to take custody, either.

some sense reigns in central ny. Thank God.

Maybe your dream meant that you were really angry with Fire Watch. Or that you spent too much time on Hannity that day. :))



Honestly, I think my dream means that I worry too much about screwing up. I've gotten to the point, IRL, that I figure that either I will screw up, so why even try, or that there will be major kinks thrown into the works and everything will get screwed up, so why even try. Of course, until recently, this was subconscious, but it's come to light. Let me give you two examples from my dream.

It started out with some fighter planes exploding over the highway. I saw them explode and debris fell onto the highway, where the debris from other planes had just landed. I had my son with me (he was a baby in the dream) and I asked my parents (my dad was alive in the dream) to come and get him so I could help. They never showed up. Turns out, their car had broken down. (This was the other things around me "screwing up") Later on, I ended up at their house, trying to make a phone call, but I couldn't even dial the phone number correctly, when I could remember it. (This is the me screwing up, even over something so simple as using a phone.) I kept telling myself in the dream, "Why even bother?" and "Why did I bother?".



Of course, what the ghost in my parent's basement had to do with anything, I don't know. :think:

[Hadassah]

Meggers, in a post from Thursday, you said that something physical often happens to interfere when we try to do something we need to do. Why is that?

[meggers49]

Our cat has a "kitty cold," poor thing. He's sneezing, but at least so far he doesn't have the watery eyes.

I don't know if we can get him to drink plenty of liquids, but he's got the "get plenty of rest" down pat!!!

check with the vet. they often have to be on antibiotics for colds.

[meggers49]

terri, if your husbands problem is increasing, have his vitamin B12 checked. The two are possibly related.

[Mimiheart]

don't hold your breath. My son is 22 and they STILL spell it wrong.
What amuses me is that they spell it a new way every time. It's like they take the consonants and throw random vowels in between hoping that some day they'll get something right.

I think it was just a case of a dream being a dream. If I am remembering correctly, dreaming is a way the mind has of sorting through the day, partly sweeping away things that do not matter. I'm not a big fan, Hadassah, of using guns in avatars. ;) My mind hooked onto that gun, and made a dream of it.



Honestly, I think my dream means that I worry too much about screwing up. I've gotten to the point, IRL, that I figure that either I will screw up, so why even try, or that there will be major kinks thrown into the works and everything will get screwed up, so why even try. Of course, until recently, this was subconscious, but it's come to light. Let me give you two examples from my dream.

It started out with some fighter planes exploding over the highway. I saw them explode and debris fell onto the highway, where the debris from other planes had just landed. I had my son with me (he was a baby in the dream) and I asked my parents (my dad was alive in the dream) to come and get him so I could help. They never showed up. Turns out, their car had broken down. (This was the other things around me "screwing up") Later on, I ended up at their house, trying to make a phone call, but I couldn't even dial the phone number correctly, when I could remember it. (This is the me screwing up, even over something so simple as using a phone.) I kept telling myself in the dream, "Why even bother?" and "Why did I bother?".



Of course, what the ghost in my parent's basement had to do with anything, I don't know. :think:

This is an interesting dream and analysis. Are you able to direct your dreams at all? To direct your parents or a friend to appear in your dreams when you need them?

[Meriweather]

i thought you found all but 2. i doubt you'll find the apocrypha

I did find all but two. There are over sixty books in the Biblej, but only thirty in the puzzle. These are the books that I did not find. I was wondering if there were a couple on this list that RayMan had found.

I think the fighter planes exploding are things in life going wrong and you want to do something to help, but you have responsibilities and not much support so you can't help. Things in life get in the way of what you'd like to do but can't. You try to find ways to do something to help, but can't be effective because of your responsibilities. You say why bother because you know you have things you have to attend, but they still are things you want to help with. The ghost in the basement, i surmise is some issue that is lurking and won't go away. It's not in the front burner, it just won't "die".

[meggers49]

Meggers, in a post from Thursday, you said that something physical often happens to interfere when we try to do something we need to do. Why is that?

I think because it's harder to "ignore" a physical problem and deal with something than an emotional or mental one. So it is a harder roadblock to overcome.

[free2B]

why you may say did this happen to me
why all this sorrow and heartache I see
Its part of God's plan 'twas all meant to be
how can this be you ask and you plead
You said that You would all our prayers heed
You'd answer our prayer whatever the need
now we just wonder we can't understand
we've put all our faith in Jesus Christ's hand
its hard to remember its part of God's plan
when sorrows and worries have stolen your love
remember the Father who reigns up above
remember the Spirit sent down as a dove
place your burdens on the Lord we've been told
we've read in the Scriptures written of old
the Kingdom's more precious than rubies and gold
why are we troubled why are we down
why are our feelings dashed to the ground
the trials borne here, in Heaven are crowns
abide with the Father abide with the Son
abide with the Spirit that makes the three one
await on the Kingdom where God's will is done

check with the vet. they often have to be on antibiotics for colds.
I've called the vet. Sambo has an appt on Monday afternoon, now. Antibiotics is what the vet mentioned.

I am reassuring my worrying self with the thought that if the vet thought it was very serious, she would have made room to see him today.

He's been out this morning for his "morning constitutional" and is back in, and had a bit to eat -- so that's good! -- and is now in his normal resting place at the foot of our bed.

His eyes have begun to run, though. Poor baby.

[terri910]

terri, if your husbands problem is increasing, have his vitamin B12 checked. The two are possibly related.
I can't get him to go to our doctor...NONE of the men in my family like him, and hubby has flatly refused to go to him any more. I am asking him as assertively as I can (trying not to "nag" -- but I'll nag if I have to) to please find SOME doctor to go to.

Losing his keys or his bluetooth, or something, is now a daily thing. Yesterday it was both his keys AND his bluetooth. I found the bluetooth; and eventually he found his keys...but he gets so frustrated in the meantime, and I don't know how to help him. (I mean, I help him look, but I don't know how to help him find a way to keep track of things...I'd be in a similar boat if I didn't have a purse where I put all those things) (and, no I don't think he'll start carrying a purse)

[Meriweather]

you need to get out more. lol

Sigh, it's one of those periods of time if I could stay home more I would be able to get out more.

[Meriweather]

All my life I've been awful about putting something in a "safe" place and then forgetting where that safe place is! Very frustrating. I've set up either baskets, drawers, bowls (depending on the room and decor) which is the only place I allow myself to put things I'll be needing again shortly (within the week). I even have a place in the car I put things like umbrellas, tissue, pens, flashlight, etcetera. I kind of feel like a dork, but it works.

My latest mishap was putting all computer notes, disks, and the like in a "safe" place. I started looking for them last summer and didn't find them until Christmas. It was in the same storage shed I put Christmas decorations--an excellent place, temperature controlled, and out of the way--but handy. However, it never occcurred to me over the summer to associate missing computer info/disks with Christmas.

kitty (and doggy) colds are hard, like when babies are sick. there's not much you can do to make them feel better and they just don't get why they feel like crap.

Religion Forum Post of the Week
http://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq312/Lorraine-Elizabeth/tn_fireworks3.jpg

No religion is the way to God. It is the humble and contrite heart. . .which is the essence of religion. . .that is the way to God. As Christians we can believe that Christ is the way. . the only way. . .to God, and yet believe that Christ reaches beyond Christianity.

Whoever is saved. . .whether the saints of the OT (who were not Christians) or honest and good hearts among pagans. . .it will be only because of Christ, who died for every person. It is not any religion that saves us, but God's mercy.

Books of the Bible

There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? This is the most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Another friend studied it while playing the banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving the puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are real easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or a scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in the paragraph. During a recent fund raising event which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new sales record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Hummana humbly puts it, the books are right there in plain view hidden from sight. Those able to find them all will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also keep in mind, that punctuation and spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know all the answers. Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus, there really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph waiting to be found.

RayMan! I found #29 (Esther). I'm down to one, too! Have you found your last one?

[noelle12]

hey noelle, how are you doing?

I'm hanging in there. I failed my one hour glucose tolerance test last Monday (I got a 148 and wasn't supposed to get over 140). This morning I took the 3 hour test, and failed it too. Again I was close, but fail is fail. So now I'm on a restricted diet and they have to ***** my finger 4 times per day to test my blood sugar. I've gotten one finger ***** so far. I was supposed to not get over 120, and I got a 90, so that's not bad. If I continue to do okay they said they'll cut my finger ****** down to 2 per day.

[Fire Watch]

My answer to a midterm exam question in my NT survey class.

Question: Is the "Calvary" message still relevant. Why or why not?

Answer:

Hebrews 13:8 (http://biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?language=english&version=KJV&passage=Hebrews+13%3A8)

I think that one must consider the several unique perspectives of Calvary in order to get a full orbed view of the Divine Work of God.

From God's perspective Calvary has always been a "finished" work. "The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Calvary in the Logos was predetermined, prearranged, premeditated and preemptive in the Mind of God. It was another one of those actions that only God can speak of as "things that are not (as to time) as though they were (already done in the plan of God as to His Will)."

From man's perspective it was an unfolding drama of the Work of God. The past, present and future all had their play in the events. Man, as he is propelled along by time, was either touched by Calvary as to history or as to reality or as to a future event. The arms of the cross reach into all tenses. "In the fullness of time" is from man's perspective. The Acts 2:38 (http://biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?language=english&version=KJV&passage=Acts+2%3A38) message is the only way whereby Calvary becomes a living reality.

Therefore the Cross is and always has been a "done deal" but was also a prophetic event of the future while it was also a "current event" and it was also a "historical" event. Calvary though historical is still contemporary because it IS; Calvary is an ever flowing power that keeps pace with every generation and never diminishes nor wanes. It is a living force brought about by the death of a Sinless Sacrifice. Calvary lives because death cannot relegate it to the pages of history only; Calvary defies time because it is eternal.

Calvary, is-was-and shall be; it is an event before its time and of its time and without time. It is the stellar miracle of eternity.

excellent. Especially since all time is the Present to God, so while this was a single moment in time to humans in our linear fashion of looking at time, every moment, until Christ returns, he is being crucified for our sins.

Very well, the longer version, then. I can read while I'm trying to decide whether I want to make certain famous people off limits for 8th graders to "interview" in speech/drama class. Hitler, Paris Hilton, Pol Pot, are a couple that immediately come to mind.

[Fire Watch]

Why limit them? It would be interesting to see their take on those individuals.

[Meriweather]

Why limit them? It would be interesting to see their take on those individuals.

That's why I am hesitating. Those would make for the most interesting and thought provoking interviews. The down side is 8th graders can get incredibly silly and they like to edge into areas that are inappropriate. Further, I won't be there to hear their presentations, and they will try to take advantage of that.

Still, I'm thinking if I write out a very specific grading rubric for both them and their new teacher, it should keep them in line.

Interesting reading, isn't it? The remainder will have to wait until tomorrow.

Earlier today, we were talking about dreams and what they might mean. I'm kind of interested in seeing if having read this right before bedtime will affect my dreams.

[Hadassah]

I think it was just a case of a dream being a dream. If I am remembering correctly, dreaming is a way the mind has of sorting through the day, partly sweeping away things that do not matter. I'm not a big fan, Hadassah, of using guns in avatars. ;) My mind hooked onto that gun, and made a dream of it.


That's most likely what happened. The dream was just a dream. :mrgreen:

This is an interesting dream and analysis. Are you able to direct your dreams at all? To direct your parents or a friend to appear in your dreams when you need them?


I've never been able to direct my dreams.

[Fire Watch]

I think they can--or at least trigger word or subject associations that might help us clarify what may be affecting us. And sometimes, dreams are just dreams. I seldom get nightmares I can't direct myself out of, but the day DaGooseMon switched his avatar from that cute goose to John Goodman on a shooting spree, I remember having a dream where DaGoose was chasing me across the country. I found some really good hiding places (I could dream direct at least that much), but he kept finding me.

Finally, trying to solve the problem, I yelled at him, asking him how he kept finding me. He told me Fire Watch had me on radar and was relaying the information to him.

I got so mad at Fire Watch, I forgot about being terrified of Goose, and the dream switched over to something else.

Dont sweat it. Women dream about me. It's just reality.

[Hadassah]

I think the fighter planes exploding are things in life going wrong and you want to do something to help, but you have responsibilities and not much support so you can't help. Things in life get in the way of what you'd like to do but can't. You try to find ways to do something to help, but can't be effective because of your responsibilities. You say why bother because you know you have things you have to attend, but they still are things you want to help with. The ghost in the basement, i surmise is some issue that is lurking and won't go away. It's not in the front burner, it just won't "die".

Hmmmm, that's a very interesting analysis. It could very well be the meaning of my dream, or maybe both of our analyses are correct.

This is an interesting dream and analysis. Are you able to direct your dreams at all?
I can to a point. When I was younger, I would occasionally have dreams where I could fly...kinda just pick my legs up one at a time and whammo, I'm floating..I could move by making swimming motions, other times I could just direct my flight like Superman. I enjoyed those dreams. They were a lot of fun..so, I would try to think about flying while falling asleep. After a while, I could trigger those dreams by doing so. I still do at times when I remember to try.

Interesting reading, isn't it? The remainder will have to wait until tomorrow.

Earlier today, we were talking about dreams and what they might mean. I'm kind of interested in seeing if having read this right before bedtime will affect my dreams.

the dreamworld is surely different than our wakeing hours. dreams seem to take on a perspective different than our sensual experience,
although I have touched and been touched in dreams, smelt sensual aromas, and have tasted memorable flavors, heard sounds of the day and seen things unknown in wakefulness. I had a nightmare of an apparition approach me and hold me senseless, a prayer to Jesus helped me through, I had a dream one night of a jeep comeing down from the air, on the front page of the paper the next day was a picture of a jeep being downloaded from a chopper to base, surprised the heck out of me!

[Meriweather]

I've never been able to direct my dreams.

I once worked with a man who was led to the wrong conclusion about me, and he became furious with me--very scary. My dreams reflected this. Each night he would enter my dreams, and each night I would be running scared. It took awhile, but because I knew what was apt to happen in my dreams, before I went to sleep I would meditate, "I will not run, I will not run..." That thought began to take hold in my dreams and I stopped running.

This, however, did nothing to mitigate my fear each time he appeared in my dreams. It finally occurred to me that I would hold out my hand to him. It was just a dream, and he couldn't hurt me in a dream. Before sleeping I began picturing holding out my hand. Once I was able to do this in my dream, the fear left me--not only in my dreams but in real life. I was (eventually) able to hold out my hand in real life, too, and things were worked out between us.

Sometimes the mind needs a path traced through it, a plan of action. Sometimes such a plan can be worked out in dreams--I don't rule out that possibility--the mind is powerful and can give feedback via dreams.

If you haven't yet been able to direct your dreams, try "pre-directing" them before sleep, and see if that helps.

[Meriweather]

Dont sweat it. Women dream about me. It's just reality.

Hold on there! I never saw you in the dream. I was dreaming about Goose! Remember, once he introduced your name into my dream, I began dreaming of something else.

[Meriweather]

I can to a point. When I was younger, I would occasionally have dreams where I could fly...kinda just pick my legs up one at a time and whammo, I'm floating..I could move by making swimming motions, other times I could just direct my flight like Superman. I enjoyed those dreams. They were a lot of fun..so, I would try to think about flying while falling asleep. After a while, I could trigger those dreams by doing so. I still do at times when I remember to try.

Now this sounds like something that would be fun to try. Do you dream in color?

[Meriweather]

Eh, you win some, you lose some. However, Freud would find the fact that she's dreaming about me at all "wery interestink". ;)


The only other time I remember dreaming about something relating to the forums was that night you and Goose were discussing chili. I didn't dream about either of you that night, but I did dream about chili and was giggling over it for some reason. The giggling woke me up--waking up giggling is a great start to a day. I remember being in a very good mood the entire day.

[free2B]

I have also had dreams of floating, and some of my dreams are in color, I think we can see and sense in dreams most of the things we can sense while awake, only in dreams we can go beyond the realms of conscious thought, and actually float or travel great distances. thought can travel faster than light

The only dream I've ever had in black and white was a dream that was kinda like from the Twilight Zone. I was walking through our Main St. area in the city and something was wrong. I kept turning corners and going down halls and streets but everything was 2 dimensional, like a set. There was something very bad going on in the area and I don't know why I was there, but I wasn't afraid because this friend of mine who was a cop working in that area (just a really big guy!) was coming to find me and I knew I'd be safe. I can remember thinking in the dream, "it's ok, Roy will be here, he'll find me and I'll be fine".

It was the weirdest dream, but I still remember it.

I missed this part of your comment. Several years ago, I read a book called Thunder of Justice. (i highly recommend it).

anyway, there was one chapter that was very unsettling. I went to bed that night and dreamt that Satan was grabbing my ankle and trying to drag me away. I was absolutely petrified, but I was able to fight him off. I woke up and spent the next probably half an hour praying. Then I figured, "if what I believe has him in such a tizzy that he's coming after me, I must be doing something right". didn't worry about it any more. My best friend read the book, but I didn't tell her about my dream. She told me after she finished that same area in the book, that she dreamt that Satan was sitting on her window sill, watching her. She had the same reaction and the same thing happened.

it was an amazing thing.

Pink slips each spring is simply a fact of life for teachers. They do not affect this school year--they may affect next school year. The rules say that the school district must give notification if a teacher is not guaranteed a job for the following year. Most years it is no big thing.

As a substitute teacher, I do not get a pink slip, but what I will get in a month or two is a letter saying there is a reasonable assurance (but no guarantee) that substitute teachers will be needed for the next school year.

Money issues at the District level can be a complex thing. Funding comes from local property taxes, state funding, Federal funding. The State of California follows a July to June fiscal year, so naturally, in March/April, school districts do not know what funding will be forthcoming from the state when it passes its budget. California has been awful about getting its budget passed these past two years. Of course, everyone has a general knowledge of how things will probably turn out, but as nothing is definite, pink slips are issued.

California's fiscal state is not good. The pink slips must go out--but on the other hand, word is that federal funding will probably be forthcoming--so that teachers do not need to panic (yet) because we will (probably) be helped by Obama's bailout plans.

This Federal funding is why my District is in such a panic about I, a simple substitute, have been doing, i.e., putting the students not the rules first. This year, obeying the spirit and not the letter of the law could indeed be a detriment to an entire District--and if a few classes of students are sacrificed for the good of the entire district, that's how it must be. We must maintain Federal compliance in all areas or risk (perhaps) not receiving funding we might otherwise have. It's not that I don't care about the District; it's not that the District doesn't care about my students--it's facing financial reality.

Our Lives


Our lives are like the grains of sand
Sifting slowly through an hour glass,
We pray and watch. We strive and plan.
But Lord, it's You who makes things come to pass.

My life is not my own, Lord.
You know I'm just passing through.
So, help me to stay focused
On the things You'd have me do.

Don't let our minds get weighted down
With the pressures of each day.
Let us share each other's burdens
And be a lamp to light their way.

Keep our eyes transfixed on Heaven
And away from worldly things,
Let everything we say and do
Bring Glory to Your name.

Tomorrow isn't promised, Lord,
And all we have is just today
To tell lost souls about Your grace
And how they can be saved ...

By kneeling at the rugged cross,
With their heart and souls in hand.
We know that's where forgiveness starts,
For each and every man.

Daily Devotional

Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea. (John 21:1)

Nothing Else Works

The disciples, experienced fishermen, fished all night and caught nothing. We all know what that feels like, right? Next morning Jesus appeared on the shore and said, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat" (Jn 21:6). When they did they caught so many fish their net broke. This story teaches us three things about Jesus:

(1) Usually, you find Him at the end of your struggle. As long as you think you can do it on your own, He will let you try. And as long as what worked for you before is still working, you won't reach out to Him for help. It's only when you run out of answers that you discover it's "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord" (Zec 4:6).

(2) He never takes His eye off you. "When the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; and yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus" (Jn 21:4). They couldn't see Him, but He could see them. In spite of your emotional upheaval, your disappointment in those you trusted, and the futility of your own efforts, you're never beyond His care - or His reach.

(3) He invites you to come and dine. Only after He fed them and had fellowship with them, did they recognize Him. At that point their doubts dissolved, their faith was renewed and they were empowered to go out and do His work. It's back to basics! The answers you seek and the strength you need can be found only by feeding on God's Word and fellowshipping with Him in prayer. Simply stated: nothing else works.

In about 36 more hours, I leave for the airport. I have sooooooo much to do, and work, and and make sure my son does his homework tomorrow.........Please pray that I have the ability to get it all done. I'm so excited. :mrgreen: :dance:

Well, I failed at getting done what I needed to get done. It's partly done, but not all the way done like I needed it to be. :doh:

[Hadassah]

Welcome to the Normal Club.

What is normal? :think:

[Meriweather]

I'm reading The Secret History of the Court of Justinian by Procopius..good stuff.


I finished reading the linked information.

One of my pet peeves are how some current history books claim that women have been oppressed by men throughout the ages. Stories like this support my point that women of any era would not put up with being oppressed--and retained their own power.

Not that there was anything remotely praiseworthy about the actions of the women featured in the linked history--but it does support the point in the above paragraph, and it joins other anecdotes I have at hand to refute the assertion that women were oppressed.

Your thirty-six hours are not quite up yet, are they? Remember, you are woman! Roar a little.

[smyrna]

Me. :liar:

Too tired to roar. It would come out more like "Squeak". :))

[Meriweather]

Me. :liar:


So we now have both you and Vir to hold up as standards of normal. Who else here is in The Normal Club? Peculiar people want to know.

Oh, Hadassah, I didn't mean to make you blush so! I only meant the joy and contentment one has when being in the company of a good friend.

Now you have me blushing!

I love the one with the bird. (I would have quoted it, but it's oversized and I'm a quick learner--for a lowly commoner.)

[Fire Watch]

:)

[Hadassah]

It's oversized? Well, then Fire Watch had better fix my post quoting his oversized pic, cuz I just quoted what he, a mod, did. :snooty: Really! You should know better, FW! :naughty: I am shocked, truly shocked! :eek:

Good Benevolent Dictators always provide entertainment for the lowly commoners. In a couple of days he will bring in the Leprechauns and beer. He's planting flowers for May Day and there will be fireworks on the Fourth of July. He's hoping to distract me from the uprising I'm planning. :shifty:

Lincoln rocks.

I say, vive la difference! It's all part of the fun here.

I read twenty-second President to mean he was only president for twenty seconds. I think I need to get more than two hours of sleep when I'm sick.

That's ok........when i was in the Reconolodge i thought i read that Ray was calling for nuclear weasels.

Those are nothing.

Shoplifting bird. I wonder what the prison sentence is for that.

[Fire Watch]

Believe it or not..those particular creatures had their own thread...in the religion forum. The good 'ol days of Jibarism..a true powerhouse religion while it lasted.

Good night everyone. I'm heading to bed. I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow and I need what little sleep I am going to get tonight.



Love you all.









Except Fire Watch. Him, I just tolerate. :razz:








I keed! I keed! :))

Goodnight, Hadassah. Say a little prayer for me, won't you?

I was telling my daughter about the ruling that came down Friday at school. Not one more day at that assignment, not one more hour.

"So, you'll be returning to it Monday, won't you?"

Pray that it goes well. I'm taking this one right up to the edge of disaster. Hopefully, not over it. But at the moment I'm tired and very discouraged. Hopefully nothing that a good night's sleep and prayer can't fix.
