Lacrosse players don't darn. :rolleyes:


You obviously haven't been teaching LaCrosse when someone get's their fingers smashed. "Darn!" is heard quite a lot, so yes, LaCrosse players do "darn."

[RayMan]

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?"


Yes. It figures strongly in the Pentecostal Version New Testament. Ask gpd. :mrgreen:


Do you ever point out the pleasures of a piece of cake to them?

[Meriweather]

Should you threaten them in here with your paddle? I'll hold them down...:mrgreen:

I'll just threaten them with more poor sentence structure, a few typos, and maybe a misspelled word. They have more fear of those than any paddle.

You wish to give her a cat? Well, perhaps. As long as it is not Terri's.

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

I haven't heard this one in a while, but I used to hear Utahns say "Oh my heck!" Cracked me up. Being a non-Utahn I never said that. (But I do say "darn" plenty.)

Hey Noelle! I was hoping that would draw you out. "Oh my heck?"
That shows you that someone really doesn't know how to cuss.

Which is not a bad thing by the way.

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

http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/ci14433456.html

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.


The only two earthquakes I've ever experienced there was no time to react. By the time I figured out what was going on, it was done. I couldn't have hid under a table if my life had depended on it. :eek:



Glad to know that you're ok. :hug:

I've never tried darning a cat before. I wonder if RayMan would recommend vacuuming before darning.

All the kids at the Christian High School we sent out youngest kids to for their Junior and Senior years were real big on "dang."

I'm inCIDuating you should go find CID and ask him to join us. That would be the respectful thing to do.

Hey that phrase worked great when I was a senior in high school back in 1972. Most of the other students assumed it described a nasty deed of some sort.

Didn't think it would work here, but you never know until you try.

I will use it about ten pm on a Friday night in the ReconoLodge and see what sort of reception it gets. I will probably get two or three invitations to step outside.

I did go to college--worked full-time, part-time, managed apartments, and pretty much the only thing I knew about college partying was taking care of drunk/drugged roomies when they came home Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights.

I did go out, but the friend and I from high school were more interested in mountains, ferries, lakes, and ice cream than alcohol and drugs.

Interested in ferries?? While the roomies were doped up and looking for the winged variety of fairies. See there was common ground.

What are her symptoms? The "usua"l headache, sinus, sore throat, aches, fever? There is a particularly nasty variety going around the school I usually work. Many kids are out at least a week from it, and even then suffer through the week they return.

That's because in this thread I make things up as I go along. I made up some rules for Moderators to follow in this thread, too, so buf should not feel too badly singled out. Buf can ask me to show where any of my rules have been ratified, which is what Fire Watch always asks me.

I'll have an answer for him too, as soon as I figure out just how to turn a rule into a rodent. My magic wand doesn't seem up to the job, so I may have to get out my cauldron.

(Bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble....)

[meggers49]

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.

snip

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.

snip

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


My husband would probably be thrilled. It would lessen contention in our house. I try also, however if you read Paul, the "recipe" is submission for wives.......not subervience mind you, and in return, love from the husband.

Defining love is a difficult thing, just as defining submission is. It's a difficult two-way street to navigate.

I contend (no pun intended) that much of the strife in this country comes from losing site that there has to be hierarchy. I am not calling it, "put in ones place" but rather SOMEONE has to be a leader because if there are TWO leaders, it can lead down two roads. not helpful.

Submission means, it's not ''all about me". Sometimes what you think is the way around something ISN'T the best way to go, because it takes you through brambles and nettles, while going the straight path may take you through deep water, but instead of getting sliced by the prickers and delayed by the longer route, you get wet, but are there faster and then you're dry and none the worse for wear.

I don't think you're supposed to LOOK FOR opportunities. If something comes along and you are asked/told/advised to do something and it's not what YOU'D want it to be, but it's not WRONG, then you should do what you're asked/told, even if you don't want to.

As I have said to my husband, and as I've learned from how he does things, just because it's not the way I'D DO IT, doesn't make it wrong. It's a hard thing, letting go of control, but that's where faith comes in, because in truth, I'm NOT in control and I have to believe that if I do what I'm supposed to do, God will take care of the situation.


There are, I think, always opportunities, whenever you see a moment to put someone else's desires ahead of your own. It is part of humility and meekness of spirit. Which doesn't translate to wimp, it just means putting others ahead of self.

In return, one hopes that the person to whom you have committed your life will reciprocate with doing for you what is best for your spirit, and in loving you, will give you the space you need to be who you are, too.

I fail at this miserably. I am getting much better at it than I ever thought but fall back constantly. It is my goal this year, to get my life in order so that I will be the woman of God I should be, and in doing that, my husband will be the man of God I know he is destined to be.

I love you all. Have a good day.

The reason submission and I have barely had more than a nodding acquaintance is because I am good with everyone doing what they want in the way they want. If I don't like the way something is being done, I simply go off and do it the way I want. People can then either to continue to do it their way, or they can join me in my way. I am completely okay with either choice.

Submission means, it's not ''all about me". Sometimes what you think is the way around something ISN'T the best way to go, because it takes you through brambles and nettles, while going the straight path may take you through deep water, but instead of getting sliced by the prickers and delayed by the longer route, you get wet, but are there faster and then you're dry and none the worse for wear.

If you want to go swimming, you have to look for water. I don't think I go overboard with it, but I do tend to having loner tendencies, which means I naturally gravitate towards situations or solutions to situations that I can find a way of handling on my own and by myself. On the other hand, when I do ask for advice or guidance, I tend towards taking it, at least to the best of my ability. Doing something the way another person would is often an awkward fit for me, so it takes some effort on my part.


As I have said to my husband, and as I've learned from how he does things, just because it's not the way I'D DO IT, doesn't make it wrong. It's a hard thing, letting go of control, but that's where faith comes in, because in truth, I'm NOT in control and I have to believe that if I do what I'm supposed to do, God will take care of the situation.

I wouldn't say that having to control a situation is my approach, either. I'm usually the one handling the fallout.

Morning Devotional

You are the salt of the earth. (Matthew 5:13)


What are You Called to Do? (1)


Sometimes what a person contributes doesn't get noticed until they're no longer around to do it. The story's told of the husband who came home from work to find his house in a complete mess. The baby was crying, there were dishes piled up in the sink and dirty laundry on the floor. The TV was blaring, beds weren't made, carpets weren't vacuumed and dinner wasn't ready. When he demanded to know what was up, his wife said, "You know how you always ask what I've been doing all day? Well, today I didn't do it."

The Bible says, "Each one should retain the place in life ...to which God has called him" (1Co 7:17 NIV). This doesn't mean that we should not aspire to greater things. It just means that if we can't start here where we are, we can't start at all.

One day Jesus healed a demon-possessed man who'd spent years separated from his family. After being set free, the man wanted to travel with Jesus. But Jesus said, "No, go back home and tell them what the Lord has done for you" ( See Lk 8:39). In other words, start where you are, use what you've got, and do what you can. The Bible says: "You are the salt of the earth." Salt doesn't exist for its own pleasure. It must be poured into something bigger than itself; only then does it fulfill its purpose.

But be careful, don't be ego-driven. The quest for significance can be misleading. You can't do it by yourself for yourself, you must do it with God and for His purposes - then God will bless you!

My QofD:

Too often, we look to the Bible as our guidebook for daily living. Of
course, that's fine and even biblical. However, this collection of books
we call the Holy Bible is much more than a self-help book. The divine
purpose of this book is to point us to the One and Only.

When you take them off the stove don't just rinse them down a little, get them cold fast. I usually have a container with ice water I throw them into for a few minutes. Since I started doing that I almost never have any hassle when peeling them.

Morning Devotional


You are the salt of the earth. (Matthew 5:13)


What are You Called to Do? (2)

When God called Moses, one of the questions He asked him was, "What is that in your hand?" (Ex 4:2) . Moses held his shepherd's staff. It represented his livelihood; it's what he was good at. It represented his income; his flock was his wealth and his family's security. God asked him to be willing to lay it down.

God still asks, "What is that in your hand?" What has been given to you? Your gifts, your money, your temperament, your experience, your relationships, your mind, your education. God has given you what Dr. Martin Seligman calls "signature strengths." Seligman found that human abilities fall into certain categories. He defined them as:

(a) Wisdom and knowledge (which includes abilities like curiosity, love of learning, sound judgment, and social intelligence).

(b) Courage (perseverance and integrity).

(c) Humanity (with capacities for kindness and the expression of mercy).

(d) Justice (the ability to bring about fairness and leadership).

(e) Temperance (qualities like self control, prudence, humility).

(f) Transcendence (the appreciation of beauty, the expression of gratitude, the ability of hope, the capacity for joy).

We all have the capacity for each of these strengths, but a few resonate more deeply in you; they are your "signature strengths." Identify these, and you begin to understand your calling.

Sometimes we think God couldn't or wouldn't use us because of our weaknesses. No, the opposite is true. No one can speak to those who grieve, better than those who've suffered loss. Chuck Colson was the chief White House lawyer, until Watergate. But it wasn't until he was a convict that he was prepared to begin prison fellowship. Today, if you let him, God will use you.

Free, was it you who noted seasonings? I've only had a brief scan of this thread since yesterday, but I wanted to include this thought:

Is it possible on a laptop that the power cord powers the battery but not the computer itself?

On my computer, the icon indicating whether the source of power is the battery or the cord has indicated the battery for two days now. No matter how much I fiddle with the connection in the back I can no longer get the computer to get AC power. But at the same time the battery is holding up amazingly well. Two days ago it was on 74%. Today it is down to 67%. It seems to only go down when I remove the power cord.

[noelle12]

more information: This is a replacement power cord. I have had it for about 3 or 4 weeks, but just a few days ago the power icon (either a picture of a battery or a picture of a plug) indicated that the computer is only getting juice from the battery.

Are you running Windows on a laptop? If so, right click on an empty part of your desktop, and pick properties.

Then go to Screensaver, power.

Go to Powermeter and see if it tells you it is charging - with power adaptor plugged into wall and laptop of course. It could just be showing wrong icon. in Taskbar.

Another thing to check is the adaptor itself. If the cord running from adaptor to laptop is removable from adaptor make sure the connection at the adaptor is secure.

Sounds like it is charging and then lying to you about it. Windows will do that. It's Baptist software you know.....:whistle:

DENVER, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- A Denver area babysitter said her pet parrot may have saved the life of a 2-year-old girl by raising a ruckus when the toddler started choking.

The babysitter, who gave her name as Meagan, said she was using the bathroom in her home while babysitting for the 2-year-old, Hannah, when she heard her parrot, Willie, screaming wildly, KCNC-TV, Denver reported Monday.

"Willie started screaming like I'd never heard him scream before and he started flapping his wings," Meagan said. "Then he started saying 'mama baby' over and over and over again until I came out and looked at Hannah and Hannah's face was turning blue because she was choking on her pop tart."

Meagan said she performed the Heimlich maneuver and stopped the young child's choking.

"If (Willie) wouldn't have warned me, I probably wouldn't have come out of the bathroom in time because she was already turning blue, her lips were blue and everything," Meagan said.

Noelle, I once had a problem similar to what you are describing. The cord and plug-ins all seemed secure--and they were. But the circuit breaker to the electrical outlet on the wall had needed resetting. If you are certain about your cord and computer plug-ins, have you checked that you are getting power from the wall?

[RayMan]

It also says that the power source is the battery.

Are you sure the outlet you are plugged into is hot? I believe they sometimes turn them off in hospital rooms. If it is hot and still nada then it sounds like a bad power adapter.

He's not trying to punk anybody. That really is what he says it is.


Only he edits his post and my quote of his post, which by the way, I happen to know he has the needed super powers to do so. But if you hurry you won't get RickRolled.

Nah, I'm not messing with it. I just think it's a cool performance.

In your opinion, which is easier: being patient with oneself or being patient with others?

[Meriweather]

In your opinion, which is easier: being patient with oneself or being patient with others?

I'm thinking it depends. Sometimes I'm too patient with others. For example, I sometimes try to work with students too long--when it turns out the best thing I could have done for him would have been to immediately written him up.

Sometimes what we need to be a little more clear on, is what our immediate response (action) should be. Sometimes patience can be interpreted as not taking any action at all, and that can turn around and bite--big time.

What's up?

Syracuse lost to Oklahoma!!!!! :(( :(( :((

I was sorry to see Syracuse go down. I was really impressed with their run in the post-season. But I was very happy to see Louisville win their game against Arizona handily. My husband was able to go to the U of L game. I'm glad. He deserved a break. He has been doing a great job as a single dad while I am indisposed.

How is your daughter doing these days, Noelle?

There be one of the reasons I'm glad to leave Kentucky. Basketball everywhere!!! Get me back to Bama, all football all the time.

I'm not much of a fan of watching basketball on TV, but there is no better sport to watch live.

So, football doesn't stop for you when the Steelers do?

[noelle12]

I haven't been able to see her for a couple of days, but from all the reports I get, she is doing pretty well. She had her 18 month check-up this past Monday, and she seems to have excema on her forehead.

Heck no. After the season is over it's time to see who's being recruited by my beloved Crimson Tide.

[Meriweather]

I thought the Crimson Tide was Buf's beloved. It's hard to keep all the players straight here. Sooo, who is being recruited?

Excema--a bad case, or something that is expected to clear up quickly?

[noelle12]

I'm not really sure. I didn't talk to the doctor myself, and I don't know that much about it. I think it is kind of a bad case, though. He gave her some kind of ointment to treat it with.

Unfortunately being stuck in the land of Big Blue I'm not up to date on the recruits.

Buf is a Tide fan? I knew there was a reason I liked him.

[Hadassah]

Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a blessed day.
