Common Ground Coffee House #113

Good Morning Everyone!

Well you learn something every day! I let T have a "mid life crisis" (his second!) back in the spring and he bought a Saturn Sky to use for a work vehicle. Really cool car.

Tomorrow, Cass turns sixteen. For a birthday treat, T is taking her to work with him today and then they're going to go see the new X-Files movie. Of course they have to take the new cool car, right?

So I'm watching them leave and the back tire looks a little low. T notices me squinting at it and asks what? I said the back tire looks low. He says "Nope, right here on my display it says that all tires have 26 lbs of pressure just like they are supposed to."

What??? Yep, Saturn has built tire pressure sensors into the car and tied them directly to the display.

I have pressure sensors on my Rendezvous, but they only trigger a warning light if something gets low and you have to walk around the car and decide for yourself which tire is the problem.

If his car was only an automatic, I'd trade with him! :laugh:

Today, TLB and I will start on the first 7 of 29 cheerleading outfits we're making. At four Chris has to go help with the open class at karate. Sometime before 6 I have to show up there myself. Then tomorrow is testing.

Ya'll have a good weekend! Something tells me I won't be back for a while!

(Edited only to correct typo.)

 

Poor Agee! Maybe BH is just feeling bad for her.

Spent the morning at our church yard sale, they're raising money for two of the youth kids to go to Israel with their school. (not my kids, they ain't leaving the country without me, lol) It was outside in the parking lot, but there are a lot of trees so it was shady and rather nice!

Plus it's just fun to sit there a while with a big ol' box of money in front of you. LOL Even if it ain't yours, it just is a nice feeling because the sale was for donations, and it's neat to see people support the kids. Some gave way over, a couple way under, but over all most people gave fair amounts and that was encouraging to see. There's good people out there!

 

Hello All,
Gaylas husband here. For those who don't have it, I'm posting the link to a website that I use to update family and friends on her condition.

Thank you. I don't know her but I have been praying for you all raying:

 

Good Evening Everybody,


Thanks for the update luckyman, you and Gayla are still in our prayers.


Hey Cuz, Mid-Life Crises are great aren't they? By the time you reach that age they're not toys, but necessities, right?

Hey Joe, long time no see. How 'ya been bro?


Hasn't been too much going on here, we've been working in the garden, and enjoying the nice weather. We've had thunderstorms forcast for every day this week, but it's been dry as a bone.

Going to kick back and enjoy the weather before it decides to change.


Was that the 'vette that just went screaming by here?, it had three women in it and one looked like a redhead, now I know my Cuz wouldn't go by without stopping. Just wondering who the other two ladies were? Anybody want to 'fess up?

 

Afternoon,
Things are still crazy here, but Agee says she ain't bothered by it. She knows who the real Physician is!
Actually I figure ole slewfoot has his hand in this too...BH does help me get the Word out on other boards...funny how folks don't want to hear a preacher...but will respond when a squirrel talks about her Creator!
BH has been eatin a little more, it may have more to do with the weather, tho we do manage to keep it cool inside. I do know she picks up on me or Agee when something is wrong, even tho she won't socialize with Agee anymore.
Well gotta run Agee to work...have a Blessed Day now!!

 

I knew I'd been gone awhile....but just when did the BB start advertising vodka??

 

Good morning all,
I brought in some doughnuts- I needed a little sugar. Yes there are some made with splenda.
Luckyman you and Gayla are in my prayers.
One of my kiddos at work is facing some huge transitions. He is getting ready to have surgery and is going from daycare to school. He is very special to all the staff and change is horrible on him. Please keep C and his grandparents who are raising him in your prayers.
I got to go-you all have a blessed day!
:godisgood:

 

Good Afternoon Everybody,


Thanks for the breakfast Palagis Island Girl. Prayin' for C and his grandparents. raying:


Ann, You never cease to amaze me with all you do Sis. There is an old saying that if you want something done - give it to a busy person.


Glad to hear that BH is feelin' better, preacher.


Hey Sue, are you goin' to know what to do when Dale goes back to work? The house might seem too quiet again, with just you fixin' up everything in sight during the day. Just kiddin' though, I wish I had your ability to do all you do and do well.


Had a great message at church today, and the music was especially meaningfull. Almost felt like the message was prepared just for me. Talk about goosebumps!


Going to take it easy this afternoon and watch some NASCAR before going back to church.

 

Good Afternoon Everybody,

WOW!, this place is empty. I've been here for a few minutes and all I've seen is the security squirrel sittin' in the rocker on the porch, readin' a paper and eatin' pecans. He nodded at me when I walked by.

The weather here has been hot. In the 80s every day with a forcasted threat of rain that never developed.

Same old goin' on around here. My stress test, echogram and carotid doppler all came back fine. Don't want to say "I'm in good health though" that's when something jumps up and bites you, and I've been bit enough.

Think I'm going to go out and watch the Gkids in the pool [inflatable type], do some Bible Study, and sip some cold Diet Mt. Dew.

We're having Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts with Bacon Sage Brown Rice, with Cherry Cobbler for dessert tonight, so I made enough to leave in the oven here for whoever seems so inclined to nibble.

Hope everybody has a great day!

Hmmmm, have we had another alcohol thread? The ad at the top of the page is for Vodka?? :laugh:

Course it does remind me that I need to start my home made vanilla flavoring sometime this coming month. One or two vanilla beans split to a pint of vodka. Wait a few month until it has distilled into a nice brown color and use! (or bottle and give as gifts)

:laugh:

 

Good morning all,
I just dropped by and it sure is quiet. I didn't even see the squirrel this morning. Oh well, here is some fresh fruit and cereal. The milk and juice is in the fridge. I am so ready to get back to work with kids. Our water lines are messed up at work so we had to close for a few days and at the same time get ready for the painters who decided to show up! I am tired of moving furniture. We are meeting this afternoon and putting the kitchen back together. Hopefully, the water will be on tommorrow and we can start back to work Monday. I had better grab some cereal for myself so I can get the laundry done before I head to work later.
Y'all have a blessed day!
