I've just called up my pilot. He's heading over to get the plane ready for take-off. We'll be there for dinner soon. :mrgreen:
Come on there's plenty left. I thought Mom and her hubby were eating with us, they stood us up.

What is this "left over bacon" that you speak of?
Post#17,000 btw ^

[Meriweather]

Pardon my ignorance ms. meri, but 'and' IS a conjunction. What else would it be in a list of things?

It's not your ignorance, which you are not. I didn't explain very well. The assignment was to identify the conjunction linking compound sentences. They were to find the 'and' that linked compound sentences, not the 'and' that linked a list of words. Typical kids, circling the first and they come to--even after I warn them there is a something in the sentence waiting to trip them up.

At the moment half my attention is here, and the other half is on my printer which is supposed to be printing out another certificate, but has gotten confused somewhere along the line. I believe a boot may be in order.

It's intentional, I assure you. For the other meals, if there should be none such, then it is devoured

My son, a 5th grader, has heard of both the Iliad and the Odyssey. He's also heard of The Brothers Karamazov. Hasn't read any of them, but he knows about them.

My faith is restored! Give your son an atta boy!

[Hadassah]

My faith is restored! Give your son an atta boy!

He has heard of The Brothers Karamazov because I was teasing him one day. I pulled it off my bookshelf and mentioned to him that he was going to read it. He was "saved" by someone (who shall remain nameless :mad: :cry:) who told me that I'd better not inflict that book on one as young as my son. Yeah, like I was really going to make my son read that. :rolleyes: :))

They don't know what to make of shoes that old.

If they are in decent shape at all, call a costume store.

My FIL was a shoe designer for Brown Shoe Company, when I was first married, and I happened to wear a "model" size shoe (6M). They would create "trial run" shoes in 3 model sizes (4M, 6M, and 8M) so it could be decided if they wanted to put them into production. My FIL would give me all of the 6M's. I had a collection of shoes and boots (FIL headed up the women's boot division for a while) that would have made Imelda Marcos jealous (you may have to have been born before 1974 to get that reference).

I was so styling in the early 70's. *L*

I had so many, few were worn enough times to actually show wear. I kept them for years (decades, really), just because so many were so unusual (see if you can find "pantyboots" on the internet) I couldn't bring myself to throw them out. But I finally realized I couldn't store them forever just so they could be looked at occasionally. I wound up selling most of them to a costume store.

[Fire Watch]

If those shoes are in great shape..call my wife. She owns a very successful vintage consignment store in the artsy area of downtown Jackson Ms.. Vintage clothing and shoes in great shape brings ridiculous $.

[terri910]

I googled "Panty-boots"....I was hoping to find some sort of photograph of a pair of them....but I did find this:
Besides my cocktail party interlude, my first professional introduction to Beth Levine’s creations was in a small collection at my undergraduate university. While cataloguing the collection of theatrical costume, I came across a pair of “Panty-boots” – opaque spandex panty hose built around a stack heel sole. I was entranced by the thought of someone wearing this ingenious marriage between shoe and leg covering – what role were these designed for, Wonder Woman? Super Girl? When I discovered the Herbert Levine label inside, I realized that these were never meant to shod a comic book superhero – these were the boots for a real Super Woman, the product of the Women’s Liberation Movement, the Sexual Revolution, and the Equal Rights Amendment all rolled into one.
http://www.shoeiq.com/blog/go-go-gone-a-tribute-to-beth-levine-1914-2006

Good description of panty-boots, AND those of us that wore them...! *L* I wore mine with vinyl hot-pants.

Could I have BEEN any more child-of-the-60's, young woman of the 70's? *LOL*

I got a letter home today from my daughter's school saying that even though there's swine flu in Maricopa county, they're still having school as usual. They're teaching the kids how to cough, and making them wash their hands even more. (Okay, my daughter's hands are already so dry they bleed from the amount of handwashing they do. I'm not exaggerating. The doctor has given her perscription strength handlotion, but it's considered a medicine so it's in the nurse's office where it does no good.) Also, if your kid has a fever, runny nose, cough, etc... don't send them to school. (Because usually, parents go out of their way to expose other kids to disease.) If they have any flu symptoms, they'll be immediately sent home.

Actually, Mimi, you would be surprised at how many parents do send their children to school knowing their child is sick. And, of course, the child feels so miserable they seek a little comfort somewhere. Absolutely I've had students cough, sneeze, and throw up all over me (only twice for the latter). There is no getting around it. If the flu comes to our area, I'll probably be one of the first exposed--that's just reality. Exposure doesn't mean I'll get the 'flu; nor does it mean if I do, it will be any worse than the 'flu I was suffering from about a month ago. There's been a lot of hype on this one.

Yeah, like Clarice passionately embraced Hannibal Lecter? Look where that got her.

Besides, the day Fire Watch makes a decision based on my (favorable or unfavorable) reaction is the day I win. Therefore, if he keeps that avatar too much longer, I can now claim that it is your judgment that he kept it because of my reaction--and I get another win.

Thanks, Vir!

However, that would keep the situation in a standoff because I don't want to change my avatar; I consider it sacrosanct having used it for three years. He, on the other hand, changes his periodically--five or six times in the past year.

change is a nebulous word......... you can just 'change' the hues by deepening them........... it will be changed......

btw, I liked his avie with the Marine insignia best. It is emblematic of power without malice and strength with honor. It suggests to me freedom, courage, righteousness and fierce pride in self and country.

The word 'change' itself may be nebulous, but fair is fair, and changing hues is not the same as changing an entire avatar.

Marine insignia, flag, gun... an avatar should say or tell something about its user. I don't like Hannibal, and I don't like anything he says.

Morning Devotional


Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. (Isaiah 43:18)


Let it Go (1)

What do you do when your memory drags the "there and then" into the "here and now," immersing you in the same old pain? The Bible answers, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" Your past can infect your present and influence your future unless you decide to let it go. For the next few days, let's think about it.


First, let go of what God has forgiven! God's only response to confessed sin is to forgive and forget it. If it comes up again, you, not He, brought it up. "If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us...and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1Jn 1:9).

Two things make letting go difficult.

(1) Your feelings. "I just don't feel forgiven!" you say. You're forgiven by God's grace obtained through Christ's sacrifice - regardless of emotions. Don't wait to feel it before you accept it; accept it and you'll start to feel it!

(2) A wrong concept of God. You say, "My dad says he forgives me, but each time I fail all my old offenses are thrown in my face again." Your heavenly Father doesn't operate that way. "I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more" (Isa 43:25). God doesn't bring them up - because He doesn't remember them. All your sins were judged and paid for at Calvary. Once confessed, you'll never again be charged with them, so rejoice and let them go. The Court of Heaven has ruled you "not guilty."

I was pretty sure the swine flu wasn't going to be as serious as they feared. It certainly wasn't going to be any more serious than the regular flu, IMO. They've shut down three schools in the valley, last I checked. People here are crying for all the schools to be shut down early for summer. (Schools here are done before June, but still.)

I always laugh when I get the strep letter from school. At my son's school they send it whenever anyone in any grade gets strep. Which means that we get a letter a day. But my daughter's ONLY symptom for strep was a tummy ache. No fever, no sore throat... who knows how long she had it. Those letters sure are effective.

Go for it. I hope you sinuses feel better shortly.

I figured it was an error attributable to those couple of shots of bourbon. ;)
Yeah, seeing as how a couple of shots were an hour ago. :))

And why is Haddie going to by some pot? :eh:

It's to help with breathing when sinuses are stuffed up. It sounds really unpleasant to me, but I understand it's not as bad as it sounds and the results are good.

I never realized smoking pot was good for your sinuses.

[Mimiheart]

neti pots are GREAT... do it!

Neti Pot, dear one.

Hadassah might be able to get a medicinal prescription for pot in California, but it's kind of far to drive this time of night.

[CID_0687]

Oh...:doh:

What do you do with it Lady Meri?

[Hadassah]

Yeah, seeing as how a couple of shots were an hour ago. :))

Because it's been a very long time since I smoked any! I figure that I have to kill what little brain cells I obviously have left. :eh:

Makes sense. :))

[Hadassah]

They kind of scare me, but I'll do almost anything to get rid of this crap in my sinuses. Having another sinus infection threw a major crimp in my plans for tonight. Plus, I don't like the dizziness and nausea. :sick:

[Meriweather]

Oh...:doh:

What do you do with it Lady Meri?

I've never used one. When I read that you stick it up your nose, I stopped right there and spent my last sinus infection breathing through my mouth.

We'll have to wait for Hadassah's report--or perhaps Mimi could explain.

[Mimiheart]

Oh...:doh:

What do you do with it Lady Meri?You stick it in your nose and pour water through one nostril so it comes out the other.

[Hadassah]

Oh...:doh:

Seriously, it cleans out your sinuses, it's perfectly safe, and if you do it right, you wonder afterward why you didn't try it earlier. It cleans out EVERYTHING in your sinuses.

[Meriweather]

The double thimble of Crown Royal may not have been a great idea. I can't seem to concentrate on these book reports.

[CID_0687]

You stick it in your nose and pour water through one nostril so it comes out the other.
So you waterboard yourself?

[Mimiheart]

So you waterboard yourself?It's nothing like drowning.

[CID_0687]

It's nothing like drowning.
Well, neither is waterboarding...so they say...I ain't trying either one...I'll just stick to saline solution sprays and sudafed.

I know what you're going through and feel for you, Hadassah. I suffered from sinusitis for years and never knew that's what it was -- all I knew was that I would get "motion sickness" standing perfectly still. It was awful. It was so bad, by the time we found out what it was, though, I had to have sinus surgery. Awful, but -- gosh -- once the surgery was over I never had another "sick headache" and "standing still motion sickness".....and that was wonderful.

[terri910]

Hubby and I saw "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" tonight.

It was better than I expected.

If you do it right? :eek: What happens if you do it wrong, as I am likely to do?

Looked like it may be kinda funny...we'll wait until it's on DVD.

I'm hoping to not go that route. :eek:

We're always happy for there to be a new movie to go to on a Friday....Friday has been our date night for the last 40 years or so....

Ahhh heck Terri, that's too sweet.

The Mrs. and I normally get one date night a month...but of course we've got two 4 year olds, and not many folks we trust to babysit them...Normally we leave them with my mom...sometimes my wife's family, but they live about 45 miles away.

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my breastplate, sword for my fight,
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower.
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns Son!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

That second thimble must have sent Meri to La La Land.
