kippah is singular, kippot is plural... but goyim is plural, goy is singular.

D'oh! I knew that. :doh::doh:

Thanks.

[RayMan]

I'm trying to decide if i mind..........not that it matters.... it is what it is..... just hard to think about someone i'm yacking with not being around when i was workin' nights savin' lives (hopefully) and all that goes with being on your own.......

when did i get so old?

The aging process is inCIDious.

The aging process is inCIDious.

:idea: Maybe now that he is certified with God he can do something about that old age thing.

[Koushi Shinigami]

Found out Tuesday someone was planning a Scout Camporee for this weekend. Got 6 kids going. 7 if my sullen son decide to grace us with his presence.

I've got an 11 pound brisket for the first smoke of the season at the campout this weekend. ;)

Morning Devotional


Let each one of you speak truth. (Ephesians 4:25)

Rules for Handling Anger (3)


Rule 3: Keep it current. Storing anger in your hard drive only hurts you. When you download old resentments you start to rehearse them and grow bitter. "The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks" (Lk 6:45).

When you're angry deal with it quickly. Don't passively allow time to decide your options, or sit around hoping the other person will see the light and apologize. "If your brother sins against you, go [to] him" (Mt 18:15).
Try to resolve it and restore the relationship. When you repress it you add one more skeleton to your closet. Sooner or later, doctors say, it'll be at your stomach lining, attack your immune system, predispose you to heart problems, cancers and other physical, social and emotional disorders. Meantime, it'll preoccupy you, dissipate your energy, cripple your creativity, hinder your fellowship with God, your friends and fellow believers; not to mention that it denies the offender the opportunity to clear their conscience, repent and get right with God and you.

Stop dragging up the past, trying to blackmail the guilty by hauling skeletons out of closets at "auspicious" moments, plotting revenge, and passing down resentments for the next generation to carry. Ask God for the humility and courage to deal with today's problems - today. When your head hits the pillow tonight, know that your issues are current, up to date with God and everyone else, and sleep well!

Morning notes:

1. Congratulations, CID! I knew you would do it! Have a happy drive home. You've earned it.

2. Good morning, Smyrna. It's always good to see your cheery greeting. And yours, too, Blazer. I wish you both a very fine day.

3. Again, nice work on the poetry, Free. It's always a pleasure to read.

4. Meg, how is Renee?

5. Koushi, with or without the sullen son, have a wonderful Camporee this weekend.

6. Vir, is the visit going well?

7. Hadassah, how about another quote today?

I wish everyone a great and glad time posting today.

Thank you for asking Meri, Renee called me the day after her surgery and she sounded wonderful and she said she felt great. I haven't heard from her yet today, but i'm of the no news is good news camp. She's supposed to be going home today.

I appreciate your thoughts and prayers for her.

Nope they're still there. And there is nothing I can do about it.










Unless nagging my husband to do it counts.

It counts as far as you doing something. The effectiveness of said nagging will be shown by whether he does them or not.

[noelle12]

It is beautiful here today. 72° and sunny. My husband suggested that we rent a wheelchair so that we could go for a walk like I did at the hospital. I called my doctor's office to see if A) it was okay for me to go for a wheelchair ride, and B) where we could rent a wheelchair.

I could only leave a message when I called, but a couple of hours later my doctor called me back and said nope, sorry.

But she said to ask again at my next appointment, which is Monday. In the meantime she said STAY IN BED!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is 72° and sunny again. At least that's what the internet says.

My father just sent this text message to me.
Ryan is being released from the hospital today, it's been a long week thank you for keep us in your thought and prayers in a few hours ryan will be off to rehab for a while continue to pray for him. Our family needs a day to catch a breath we would love to hear from you later.

Gee, thanks, Dad. I'm so glad to be included in your family.

[Meriweather]

My father just sent this text message to me.


Gee, thanks, Dad. I'm so glad to be included in your family.

Mimi, is there any chance that this is a head's up from your father so that you will know why people are (or are not) calling you?

Or, do you believe that he's asking family not at home to give those who are a chance to recuperate?

[RayMan]

My father just sent this text message to me.


Gee, thanks, Dad. I'm so glad to be included in your family.

Maybe it was a blast he sent out to everyone in his address book and he was too tired to remember to send you a personal text?

[Hadassah]

My father just sent this text message to me.


Gee, thanks, Dad. I'm so glad to be included in your family.

Could this be a general message to everyone and being a man, and a stressed one at that, he didn't think to send you something personal?

[Mimiheart]

It was one he sent to everyone. He didn't "forget" to send me a personal one. The only people living at home are him and my brother. (And the littlest sister, but she'd be with my stepmother this weekend.)

[RayMan]

It was one he sent to everyone. He didn't "forget" to send me a personal one. The only people living at home are him and my brother. (And the littlest sister, but she'd be with my stepmother this weekend.)

Bummer. I'm sorry.

[Mimiheart]

Could this be a general message to everyone and being a man, and a stressed one at that, he didn't think to send you something personal? That's possible. He yelled at both me and my uncle the other day for checking in. I haven't spoken to him since Tuesday. I've been getting updates from my stepmother. So this really seemed like a slap in the face. It seems to me, though, that his daughter and his brother should get to check in more than his church friends... who seem to be able to literally stop in without announcing and are welcomed with open arms.

[Hadassah]

It was one he sent to everyone. He didn't "forget" to send me a personal one. The only people living at home are him and my brother. (And the littlest sister, but she'd be with my stepmother this weekend.)

It's win-win.

I was going to wait til later tonight when the younger posters had gone to bed to do the paint by numbers on that picture, but there you go folks. The news is out. And so is buf.

No. We were doing an exerise on this, too. What you describe is lose-lose.

Did you mean to say you were doing an exorcism? With buf?

[vir doctus]

:eek::eek::eek:



***Hadassah passes out from shock***

You might want to ask on what basis Fair Meri is so adamant the Lovely Buf is a man. :eh:

[Meriweather]

Did you mean to say you were doing an exorcism? With buf?

No. I said I was doing an exercise. My favorite exercise is walking, so perhaps that's what I meant. If buf was there, then he was like the man upon the stair. He wasn't there.

Men are like that.

[Meriweather]

You might want to ask on what basis Fair Meri is so adamant the Lovely Buf is a man. :eh:

I look at his avatar. I look at his spelling.

[Meriweather]

Men are better at math than women. :think:

Buf hasn't done any math for me. However, Fire Watch has. Therefore it seems we have established that Fire Watch must be a man who is better than a woman. As this conversation opened with you blaming women, it appears we have made it full circle in a relatively short period of time.

We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Merrily on our way
To nowhere in particular
We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Merrily on our way
Though the roads are perpendicular
We're always in a hurry
We have no time to stall
We've got to be there
We've got to be there
But where we can't recall
Whoops!
We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Merrily on our way
And we're may be going to Devonshire
To Lancashire, to Worcentershire
We're not so sure
We got to be there
We're merrily on our way
To nowhere at all

Good morning fellow citizens.

What's that you ask? Who got a wild turkey yesterday?

They see better than an eagle and can hear better than a deer and are almost impossible to hunt...

Well let's just say it this way....

CID, have you ever had...turkey bacon?:D

I hope everyone has as good a day today, as I had yesterday.:D:clap::dance:

[Abe]

No, the bald Jewish guy who sits next to me most Friday nights has the same problem. ;) And we sit in the front.Hasn't he ever heard of Super Glue?

[Abe]

It depends on how many of him there are.Exactly. :)

[Abe]

Certifications for State Farm. I'm an insurance adjuster, had to pass this certification to work for the Big Dog.
Kooool! Congrats.

So is "kippah" plural?Kippah is singular. Goyim is plural. The singular of that would be Goy.

Is it hard to add RAM to the computer?

Not ncecessarily. Here is a site I found that seems to use a similar process to what I did once upon a time.

http://www.cyberwalker.com/article/41

However, Hadassah, I warn you that you may want a second opinion on this. Part of the reason I have no hesitation at all to do anything I want with my computer is that I know if I should ever get myself into really serious trouble (which I have), that I cannot get myself out (which I always get myself out of), I have a husband and brother-in-law who are always happy to rescue me.

Every so often I enjoy fiddling around, but before, during, and after I do a heck of a lot of reading and research.

I recommend reading the above site, think about it, and then ask RayMan when he comes in.

Morning Devotional


Let each one of you speak truth. (Ephesians 4:25)


Rules for Handling Anger (4)

Rule 4: Keep it solution-focused. Someone has said that fellowship is like two fellows in a ship: one can't sink the other without sinking himself. By seeking to gain the upper hand you both lose. By seeking to save and strengthen the relationship you both win. So when you speak, be sure it's "helpful for building others up according to their needs" (Eph 4:29).

Try to understand what the other person needs. Don't bring up previously confessed offenses; don't drag in other people; don't use wisecracks about people's weight, height, color, IQ, physical, mental and emotional limitations; don't bring up unrelated things that cloud the issue and keep you from finding a solution. And don't raise the volume in order to intimidate and manipulate. God made you with a capacity for anger because when handled the right way it's the fuel that brings needed change and the medicine that heals. So:

(a) Seek a solution, not a "victory." Name-calling and "diagnosing" others only makes things worse. Your focus should not be on what they did, but on what you can do together to resolve it.

(b) Admit your own flaws and ask for forgiveness. Since it takes two to tango, acknowledging your own imperfections makes it easier for someone else to acknowledge theirs.

(c) Every time you take a "swing" at someone, offer them a positive "stroke." "If there be any virtue...think on these things" (Php 4:8). For each of the difficulties you address, give a compliment. "I'm sure this wasn't easy for you to hear. Thanks for listening to me so graciously." Being solution-focused gives people something positive to live up to, not down to!

Looks easy enough. Thing is, I can't figure out where the model number is on my computer. There's a couple of stickers on the side of my computer with a bunch of numbers on both. Which one the is the model number, I haven't a clue. :confused:


I wonder if those evidence erasers work as well as they claim they do. I have an old computer here that I haven't gotten rid of because it has business info stored on the hard drive. That's info I don't want anyone getting ahold of.

Hey,
We talking laptop or desktop machine? If you have an old machine you want to get rid of, just pull off the side panel, unplug the power and data cables from hard drive, then pull the hard drive out of the box. Hold onto the hard drive and throw away - er, that is, recycle, the rest.

Hadassah, you can also find the model number of your computer by going to and clicking on:

My Computer

Next, Click on System Properties. (I think at school, it may just say "Properties") so look for something like that.

You should be able to find your model number there--and they even identify it as "Model Number." ;)

It's a desktop.


Why save the hard drive, though, if I can get everything erased? Or, I read somewhere that if you put a hole through it, that works so that info cannot be accessed. Is that true?

[RayMan]

You can certainly drill a hole or two through it after you pull it out. Kind of hard to do while it is in computer. If there is a chance you might want to pull data off the hard drive in the future it is a lot easier to store a hard drive in a desk drawer than to hold onto a bulky old computer.

Awww, and I was looking forward to drilling the hole while the hard drive was in the computer. :))

There's no chance I'm going to need anything from the old computer. Everything I need is now on this one. Except of course, the pics of me from my really wild days. :whistle:


thanks, it's a big help. :hug:

Yep. I have only 512MB in this computer. That's not enough.

It is a major brand like Dell or HP or a clone?

hp.

Ok. Somewhere, quite often on the front panel you should find a model number. Something like D330 or DC220. Once you have that you can find out what kind of RAM you need.

With all due respect, (and respect there is), this is a matter that cannot be reconciled. The meaning of the psalm is not the same in Judaism as it is in Christianity. The translation is wrong in every translation that I've read. I realise that it's a holy time for Christians but it's no less holy for Jews. Both are deserving of respect.

This is one of those things that, IMO, should just be left alone. To my fellow Jews I say this, "Let it go, please. We cannot agree on this. Let each religion interpret this psalm in it's own way, and let everyone go in peace."

Ok. Somewhere, quite often on the front panel you should find a model number. Something like D330 or DC220. Once you have that you can find out what kind of RAM you need.

I'm guessing sacrificial.

[Hadassah]

I'm guessing sacrificial.

Nah, it would be too messy to sacrifice here. Plus it won't fit inside my computer. Even if I cut it into small enough pieces to fit inside the computer, the carcass would smell and eventually attract bugs and rodents. No thanks! :eek:

Hadassah! Let's not over do it! It's YOUR turn to be gleeful! ENJOY it. I truly think you should. Maybe some of that glee will spill over and run down to your neighbor's.

It is YOUR job to be gleeful today, MY job to pray. We'll have your neighbor covered--but only if you do your part! I can't be gleeful, so I'm doing the praying. You go be gleeful. Glee is a delight and should be carefully treasured as it is a small, fleeting thing.

I can be gleeful, but I won't be gleeful over irritating her. I am now gleeful over the weather. It's been a long cold snowy winter.


Oh, I'm also gleeful over the huge bonus check I received yesterday. I really needed it.

I wonder if those evidence erasers work as well as they claim they do. I have an old computer here that I haven't gotten rid of because it has business info stored on the hard drive. That's info I don't want anyone getting ahold of.

Evidence erasers vary. What you want is a hard drive wiper. The best of them use a defense department spec algorithm to wipe the drive.

What this does is overwrite the entire disk with random data multiple times. You boot your computer using a cd version of a program, and from that you can wipe all drive data from the computer.

One I can personally recommend is DriveScrubber by Iolo. http://www.iolo.com/ds/3/

No software will totaly make all data unreadable. With some very specialized technology you can even read a wiped drive. However, this process, and the equipment capable of performing it, is so expensive that someone would have to really, really want what you have on the drive, so unless you have military secrets on your drive or data that would provide someone millions if they got their hands on it, it's not a realistic worry.

Do get software and wipe the drive even if you keep the computer and/or drive. Breakins can happen and things get stolen, so it would make sense under any circumstances to wipe data you don't want someone to get their hands on.

I hope this helps.

Well, in that case, after you do the software wipe, you might want to get a vat of highly concentrated hydrochloric acid, disaddemble the drive and put the platters in the acid bath. After letting sit for several hours, remove the platters and rinse thourougly with water. Then grind the platters into powder just to be safe. ;)


Seriously, that does help. Thank you. :hug:

I agree. I don't mind cats, but dogs are great. The only thing about cats that I like better than dogs is if I'm on vacation they are much more independent. I can leave for a few days and only have somebody peek in on a cat, and the cat is fine. Not so with a dog. But I'll take that for the affection and devotion dogs have that cats lack.

[Meriweather]

Daily Devotional


Let each one of you speak truth. (Ephesians 4:25)

Rules for Handling Anger (5)

Rule 5: Keep it in the laundry room. "Don't treat each other with malice" [ill will, spite] (See Eph 4: 31). When you're angry, spreading gossip is hard to resist. But malicious talk is like wildfire; it consumes those who spread it and those who listen to it. Don't display your dirty wash; keep it in the laundry room.

Dirty laundry gets aired in two ways:
(1) Open embarrassment. You say it where you know others are going to hear it.
(2) Subtlety. You make jokes about their figure, family members and friends, etc., in order to belittle them. This results in embarrassment for the person you're angry at, widens the gap between you and makes reconciliation impossible.

Solomon writes: "He that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter" (Pr 11:13), and "Love covereth all sins" (Pr 10:12). Paul writes: "In malice be babes, but in understanding be mature" (1Co 14:20).

Rule 6: Be part of the clean-up crew. We say, "They brought it on themselves. Let them get over it." They may have deserved it, but we can't walk away and leave open wounds to become infected. We "forgive, even as Christ...has forgiven" us (See Eph 4: 32).

How did Christ forgive us? After we'd acknowledged, confessed and repented of our sins? No. "When we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son" (Ro 5:10). God took the initiative, so forgive, before the other person asks for forgiveness. And should they remain your enemy for life, forgive them anyhow. That's mopping up after the war. Only then are you yourself forgiven, the wounds you inflicted healed, and your record before God expunged!

At the moment, it's mud under my feet. I've got to find that leak and repair it. I wish my sprinklers would send me an engraved announcement with the date and exact location they plan to crack.

An Earth First group is trying to send you a message.

An Earth First group is trying to send you a message.

Two found and repaired. I was afraid there might have been a third, but at the moment I am hopefully optimistic that is it--at least for that location.

Earth First made me think of Earth Day. That brought back some memories. In high school media class (newspaper, yearbook, photography) were the two most radical boys in the school who were very supportive of Earth Day. Think of me as the most conservative girl. The three of us were often off together covering some school event, such as Earth Day. My more radical younger sister grabbed me one day and said, "Would you stop hanging out with them! You're embarrassing me. No one understands how the three of you can possibly be friends! You're nothing like them! It doesn't even look appropriate, except with you, everyone knows it is."

Did you quickly get over the tummy upset you caught from your daughter, or did it take several days? How's the family doing?

[noelle12]

Did you quickly get over the tummy upset you caught from your daughter, or did it take several days? How's the family doing?

It was just a one day thing. Thankfully. Of course that one day was pretty miserable, but I can't complain because it was so short.

Family is doing well. My daughter is just growing up so fast. It seems so recently that she was a baby, but she is clearly a little girl now. I still don't understand a word, but she talks A LOT. She is definitely her own person. I tried to get her to like red as her favorite color, but it's a no go. She is all pink and ribbons. I was (am) nothing like that. She is handling being farmed out every day like a real trooper. She has gotten good reports from everybody who has taken care of her.

My husband is doing well. He has stepped up to the plate quite admirably. Meanwhile I lie around feeling relatively fine, not helping at all. Makes me feel just a little bit guilty. But I also know I'm doing the right thing.

Yes, you are doing the right thing. Are you familiar with the joke of the husband coming home to a house that was all topsy-turvy; the kids were running wild; nothing was cooking in the way of dinner; wife was watching TV.

Husband asks wife, "What happened?"

Wife replies, "You know how you always ask me what I've done all day? Well, today, I didn't do it."

There will be a new appreciation for all you do; plus, you get to appreciate what they are doing to help prepare for your new arrival.

I remember that stage where my girls were "talking" but not quite forming words. They reminded me of little R2D2s running around, beeping.

I am not a good housekeeper, but my husband has already told me that the house is in worse shape when I'm not around.

Today my daughter found a box of barrettes and bows. She wanted them in her hair. So I put them all in her hair. She loved it. And she looked great too!

Left Dallas after my tests Wednesday and went to Oklahoma to visit my aunts, uncles and cousins. Just got home an hour and a half ago. That was around 1230 am central. I sure could use that sammitch.

Good rainy morning everyone...

It just a good thing that rainy days and mondays just don't get me down.:) Sounds like a good song...doesn't it?:hug:

Have a great day and an even better week...but...let's just take it one day at a time for there are enough troubles for today.

Matthew 6:34 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=47&chapter=6&verse=34&version=47&context=verse)
"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Since we have the Holy Spirit in our hearts...look out America...here we come.

Talk to everyone soon...gotta go stimulate the economy.

Today my daughter found a box of barrettes and bows. She wanted them in her hair. So I put them all in her hair. She loved it. And she looked great too!

my daugther was a girlie-girl from the getgo, too. I took her shopping once when she was about 3 1/2 to get her Christmas dress. She was in her stroller as we went into one of our better department stores (they had great sales ...i'm all about sales!). As we went through the door, she was greeted with all the decorations and glitz and gasped, saying in awe, "OOOOOOOooh mommy, I LIKE this place!" We got home and I said to my husband, "get another job".

ETA: she is almost 20, has more clothes than 3 people need and loves to shop to this day. She buys her own stuff, so it's on her, but if she's like that now, it won't get better!

I LOVE teaching kids how to smoke. :cool:

Boy Scout campout, several other troops were there. Great weather and everyone had a lot of fun. Shot rockets, ran a zip line, had a two man crosscut saw competition.

And for dinner, I smoked an 11 pound brisket. :drool: Had enough to bring home for the wife for Sunday dinner. Before you say "Ewww leftovers".... some things get better with time and age.

Daily Devotional


The secret things belong to the Lord. (Deuteronomy 29:29)


Trusting God When There are No Answers

Life's losses leave us hurting and wondering. Cancer takes a young mother or father. Divorce strikes your happy home. Financial ruin devastates your retirement plans. A child goes to jail, is killed or commits suicide. Such times raise questions which are difficult, if not impossible to answer. We examine the circumstances again and again. We speculate about the details, searching for clues that might make some sense and make it easier for us to bear. We turn the spotlight on ourselves, others, even God, wondering what could or should have been done differently that might have prevented this. We turn to friends, fellow believers and pastors only to hear what sounds like religious platitudes and inadequate attempts to minimize our pain. When answers don't seem forthcoming and the heavens are silent, what should you do?

Here are two Scriptures to help you in such times:

(1) "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us" (Dt 29:29). When it comes to understanding things, we have our territory, God has His. And ours is limited to what He decides to reveal. At that point you must "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding" (Pr 3:5).

(2) "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God" (Ro 8:28). God may explain it to you, or He may not. But He's "the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End" (Rev 22:13), which means, He has a plan and He's working it out for our good and His glory.

So trust Him!

Anyone here do Pilates?

I do. I LOVE Pilates.

[Hadassah]

OK, guys, I got myself into a situation that I'm going to need God's grace and mercy to get out of. And the sooner I get out of it, the better. (Especially financially). It is totally my fault. I need prayers so that God will help me deal with the situation quickly, without spending money I need for things like groceries, bills, medicine, rent, utilities, etc. If I use the money I was planning on buying the Wii with, I don't care. And I need prayers so that certain patterns in my life change, so I don't get into another fix like this one.


Thank you for your prayers for this idiot! :hug:

Dear God,

First I pray that you will tell Hadassah to stop calling herself an idiot.
Second, please help her.

Amen.

It is a sad fact that just because one is smart, it does not insure all of one's choices are smart.

Professor Dumbledore also observed the same thing I have noticed: Everyone makes mistakes, and the more intelligence one has, the proportionately greater are the mistakes.

However, I still say it is a mistake to start from the perspective that one is an idiot.
