COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #02

I was back out on the Bridge washing job today. It makes for a long day - but a nice paycheck.

 

HELP C.J.! I do so want any advice I can get! Ug... and I love my dentist. He's my deacon.
But dental work terrifies me!

Night Barnabas!

Sue, you're going to fatten us all up if you don't stop cooking for us!

Diane

 

Tell your guests hello from Ohio Barnabas! I went to Toronto a couple of years ago and it's a pretty neat area.
I'm just STILL impressed with Canadian squirrels! They're so cute! I want one. LOL
Gina

 

Sure, Gina,,take all the good things (the squirrels) out of Canada and leave the nuts behind....

Cheers,

Jim

 

LOL! Hrm. That gives me an idea....

 

happy trails to you, until we meet again..........good night. God bless.....

cheers,

Jim

 

Bbbbbbuuttt...WHAT ABOUT BOB??!!

 

It's delicious...what a perfect bedtime snack! And you were so sweet to get it for me! I do hope you got it at WalMart...I've found it to be much more affordable there than anywhere else!!

I see you are from Illinois. I lived in Chicago once...for about a year. After about the third time my boss had to come get my car out of the snow, I said, "Please get me back to Texas!!"

 

Hey I am back in the 21st century. For anyone that didn't hear Rockford got hit with a HUGE thrunderstorm at about 4 am Sat. morning. It was described by the weather service as a microburst. Whatever that means. What it ment to me was: no electricity from the wee hours Sat. morning until about 8pm Monday night. We slept at the chruch Sunday night because of the heat. No telephone from about 10 Sat. morning till Monday Evening. Lots and Lots of trees down all over town.

I have heard estimates of over 80,000 homes without power from the storm. With about 60,000 of them in Rockford. Here is something to Praise God about. I have not heard of one person being injured either in the storms or the cleanup efforts. There are electrical crews from as far away as Texas up here helping to get the power back on. As of this morning I heard that 20,000 homes were still with out power.

I am not ever going to attempt to catch up on what has happened in the coffee house while I was out of touch. It is good to be back.

Bill

 

Hey Bill, we had serious storms today to! Part of the town is without electric since earlier today. A few towns over next county the count is about 80,000 without.
It was amazing to watch though! I've never seen that big of a storm without a tornado touchdown. They said we had a tornado about 7 miles away from us. I'm so glad the power didn't go out, and it was really suprising it didn't! It goes out if you look at it funny for the most part! LOL
Have you been around lately? I haven't seen you. I might just need new glasses though!
Gina

 

Hey Gina,

I havn't been around very much. It's been really busy and the I coldn't even lurk over the weekend cause these pesky puters want the lectric for some reason.

Bill

 

She may have been here, for I found this place tydied up from last night, and the coffee pot was on the hot plate, just the way I like it.

Goooooooooood mornin' everyone! Hope you all have a blessed day today, and enjoy the sweet fellowship of fellow believers on the BB.

P.S. Our guest arrived from Toronto, Canada, OK. But he did not come with Greyhound. We waited there at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, then called him on his cell phone and found out that he changed plans and he was on the train instead...

 

Good Morning Everyone, how are you all today. No, it wasn't me today, I am late getting in as I have been really puffed this morning and trying to do housework, but I am a bit slow today. It is very humid here, but otherwise bright and sunny. Will look in later,

Blessings

Sheila

 

Good morning! Thought I would check in here early on before I get back to work.

Wot's got you all puffed, Sheila? Pushing about to fast this morning?

Hi there, Brother Barnabas, Good to hear your friend from To (Canadian for Toronto) arrived. I always loved the trains.

Hi Sue, last but certainly not least, all the best to you as well.

Cheers, God bless,

Jim

 

Good morning all! I was up bright and early but didn't sleep well either, Sue. Kept waking up. Probably worrying about my tooth.

It's to be hot again today so I've got the air going and will try to get some things done.

Just going to finish my cup of tea and then I'll be back later!

Diane

 

Hi all,

Just looking in to see how you all are. I don't take this humidity too well, so I am off to bed for the afternoon with the fan on, talk to you all later,

bye for now

Sheila

 

Rest well Sheila! Keep cool!
