Do what now? Sorry, I really wasn't paying all that much attention.

No, you are thinking of the interviewer Baba Wawa.

or he's quoting Charlie Brown's teacher......

Bwah!? (Exclamation) 1) A laugh with sarcastic undertones; 2) a variation on the word "what" used to illustrate a sense of confusion.

Had a blast. Made a little money too. Good day.

Provoke Fair Meri until the Great FW changes her avatar to Pres. Jeff Davis...

Jefferson Davis has nothing to do with weather, so he is ineligible to be my avatar.

The "Great" FW? Obviously you didn't read Fire Watch's messages of yesterday. As holding him in high regard flatters and slightly embarrasses him, he has asked us to contain ourselves.

You may wish to edit your post. I'd hate to have Fire Watch change your avatar to the Great Abraham Lincoln.

[Meriweather]

Then we secure a perimeter and take it over.

That may work out well, then. It sounds like the Marines are willing to build a fence for me. As far as the taking it over.... grin.

They know what caused the death of the boy at my son's school. Apparently it was a trauma to the brain. He had gone snowboarding the weekend before and hit his head but it didn't seem serious at the time. Almost like what happened with Natasha Richardson. :(

I lived off campus my last 2 years of college. The first year, my roomies and I lived on the 2nd floor of a 2 story house. Some guys who did not attend school where we did moved in the downstairs apartment a few months after we moved in. One Saturday morning, I woke up to banging on the door. I looked out my bedroom window, which was right over the front doors, to see the DEA! When the neighbors downstairs wouldn't let them in, the DEA started banging on my door. My roomies and I let them in....they wanted to gain access to the downstairs apartment through our apartment.

One day Little Johnny walks up to his Mom and says, “Mommy, is God Black or White?”
She replies, “Well, Honey, God is both Black and White.”
Then he says, “Mommy, is God a boy or a girl?”
“God is both a boy and a girl, Honey,” she replies.
“Mommy, is God gay or straight?” he inquires again.
Getting a little irritated, the mother replies, “Well, Honey, God is both gay and straight.”
After thinking for a moment, Johnny looks up and asks, “Mommy, is God Michael Jackson?”

Show and Tell

A kindergarten teacher gave her class a "show and tell" assignment of bringing something to represent their religion.

The first boy got in front of the class and said, "My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish and this is the Star of David."

The second boy got in front of the class and said, "My name is Matthew. I'm a Catholic and this is the Crucifix."

The third boy got in front of the class and said, "My name is Tommy and I am Baptist and this is a casserole."

A Rare Book

A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told him he had just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody-or-other had printed it.

"Not Gutenberg?" gasped the collector.

"Yes, that was it!"

"You idiot! You've thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million dollars!"

"Oh, I don't think this book would have been worth anything close to that much," replied the man.
"It was scribbled all over in the margins by some guy named Martin Luther."

Great!

You can play Catch-22.

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22," Yossarian observed.
"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

Morning Devotional

Take Mark...he is profitable...for the ministry. (2 Timothy 4:11)


Seeing Others the Right Way
When John Mark decided to take time off to visit his family, it didn't sit too well with Paul. Later when Barnabas wanted to take John Mark on their next mission's trip, Paul exploded! "The contention became so sharp...they parted from one another...Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus; but Paul chose Silas" (Ac 15:38-40 NKJV).

But the story doesn't end there. Later, an older and wiser Paul who had learned to add grace to his grit, writes, "For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world...[so] Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry" (2Ti 4:10-11). There are three important lessons here for you:

(1) Always be willing to give someone a second chance. After all, that's what God does for you. Now in extending grace you can get hurt and disappointed, but if you're going to be Christ-like it's a risk you must take.

(2) Don't measure everybody else by your standards and goals. The truth is, they may not be called to do what you're called to do. Or they may have been called to do it in a different way. Don't make your personal preferences a precondition for loving, accepting and working with someone.

(3) When you look for the best in others you usually find it. The Bible says, "We have this treasure in earthen vessels" (2Co 4:7). So every time you meet the treasure you'll bump into the earthen vessel. Don't allow that to devalue the treasure, or your responsibility to look for it. Motivated people will rise to meet your expectations.

I have little plastic figures on my computer desk... they're mine, but my kids like to play with them. My littlest just said, "It's not fair that you have action figures."

"They're not really action figures. Action figures are bigger and move. These are more like figurines."

She held up her hand. "I have five action fingers on each hand! But *older brother* said that THOSE were action fingers!"

the glorious beauty Blessed by Thee
Lightning strikeing at break of day
at narrow roads end points the way

rainbow follows behind the storm
Promise to Noah ever sworn
when the clouds have washed the earth

[Fire Watch]

My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

A case of logic versus instinct, then? One thing you might ask yourself is whether she asked you to do anything, or if it was just talking? If she asked you to do something, you may wish to listen to your instincts.

Morning Devotional

A married man...has to. (1 Corinthians 7:33)

Serving God - and Your Mate!

Paul writes: "An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord's work and thinking how to please him. But a married man can't do that so well. He has to think about...how to please his wife." Gayle Urban tells of browsing in a bookstore and discovering a shelf with reduced-price items. Among the gifts was a little figurine with a man and woman, their heads lovingly tilted toward one another. "Happy 10th Anniversary," read the inscription. It appeared to be in perfect condition yet its tag indicated "damaged." Examining it more closely, she found another tag underneath that read, "WIFE IS COMING UNGLUED!"

When you marry somebody, you marry everything they are and everything they have been through. It's a package deal! And if you ask God, He'll give you the grace to minister to your mate. You may not see immediate change. It takes time for even a small cut to heal. But if you allow Him, God will give you the oil of compassion and the wine of love to pour into their wounds. Never become so spiritual that you become unavailable. Your first calling is to your mate and your family. Your priorities should start there, then spread to your career, your vocation and other pursuits.

Paul says, in effect, "I release those who are married from the level of consecration I expect from those who are single, so that they'll be able to spend time working on their relationship." You say, "But I need to spend time with the Lord." That's true, and the Bible doesn't release you from your responsibility to God, it just sets some priorities. You're called to serve the Lord - and your mate!

Today's quote is from St. Francis de Sales.


You tell me you do not have the time to give two or three hours to prayer; who asks you to do so? No one can be excused from ejaculations because it can be made while coming and going about one's business. Recommend yourself to God the first thing in the morning, protest that you do not wish to offend Him, and then go about your affairs, resolved, nevertheless, to raise your spirit to God, even amidst company.

I realize I’ve set today’s standards for everyone quite high, but I know I can depend on the greater majority of you to keep Fire Watch in line. If he begins to misbehave (symptoms are sudden changes in user avatars and custom titles), post a link to something by Metallica, which will immediately distract him.

[Zazu:] Well, that's definitely out...
[Simba:] Free to do it all my way!
[Zazu:] I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
[Simba:] Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
[Zazu:] If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about... aagh!
This child is getting wildly out of wing
[Simba:] Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!
[Zazu: (Speaking, but in strict time)] Not yet!
[Chorus:] Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling

Were you asleep during those two hours? That would make the submission thing less onerous on you.


No, I've been paying attention to submission since last Fall when I heard a good case that submissiveness brings spiritual blessings and is good for one.

Like LaCrosse, I never thought submission was needed in my life--submission was kind of like never needing a darning egg--I chose other things and solved situations using other methods.

Since last Fall, (when I've thought about it) I've looked for opportunities to be submissive. It's not as easy as you might think. For example, it would petrify my husband if I went up to him and said, "Honey, guess what, I'm going to start being submissive."

You guys, be honest! What if YOUR wife announced she was going to be submissive? Wouldn't it scare you just a little?

Even with some fairly easy opportunities, I quickly discovered being submissive is not easy, and that sometimes opportunities are just not to be had.

It wasn't until this morning I even realized I had an opportunity last night. I woke up with the thought, "Hey, when Fire Watch told me No last night, I actually settled down. Then I realized opting to take over Hannity's America and rename it Meri's American probably wouldn't rank high on submission attempts. But up to that point--about two hours or twenty posts, I had actually been submissive--and awake!

Instead of hooting, Ray, you should be patting me on the back and giving me "atta girls."

Not feeling bad sometimes equates to feeling good.

There must be a lot of history in that thread. I keep meaning to go over there and read some more of the early parts of it. I read the first page at some point, and kept meaning to get back there. At some point I will.

Will the post count accommodate six figures--100,000?

I'm fine. I taught math today. I can teach you how to find the area of a trapezoid if you would like.

Don't get me started again. A few students tried to convince me they did not like math. I ended up convincing them they did not really think it was as bad as they tried to tell me it was--AND that they actually liked it better than some of the other things they had to do.

Oh great. So now you have added mass hypnosis and mind control to your list of classroom accomplishments and you no doubt expect an "atta girl" for it. :rolleyes: :mrgreen:

I trust that none of you wonderful California residents suffered ill effects from the earthquake early Tuesday morning?

First you ask me if I hit my head; now you tell me I'm suffering from brain rot.

Are you people being mean? Are you trying to chase me over to the ReconoLodge? (And if you are, you may want to get the Proprietor's permission, first. I understand he has standards.)

The 4.8 near Bombay Beach? Didn't wake me up.

Probably scared some touristas from New York though. They always try and hide under the nearest table.

It's embarassing really. You feel so badly for them.

Math is inCIDious.

I feel sorry for you. When I help my 10 yr old with her math after school I want to pull my hair out. She is starting on fractions. Hard concept for her.
I can't imagine a classroom full of students. no thank you. I will let you handle that......:))

A classroom full of students is a sight to behold, a thing of wonder. No one on the street stops to ask me the area of a trapezoid. But, upon entering a classroom, I got asked that at least a dozen times today.

And unlike here in this thread, no one in the classroom suggested that I was suffering from brain rot. But then, we have rules of respect in the classroom.

Perhaps tomorrow you will teach sentence structure - then you will be doubly inspired and penitent.

I may have caught Meri's brain rot. This is not a good thing.

Or were you saying Lacrosse players don't use LDS faux cuss words?

I can convince students they really like the mile run and doing push-ups, so pointing out the pleasures of math (at least at the middle school level) is a piece of cake.

I only ask for an "atta girl" for the really difficult things. Have you ever heard the maxim, "Ask and you shall receive?"
