COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #29

[I Am Blessed 24]

don't seem to be having a problem tonight.

I will bid you all a good night. Must go back to work tomorrow after a two-week break...supposed to be 8º in the morning. Hope the wind isn't blowing...hubby has already scraped ice off the car twice and snow is starting now.

Pleasant dreams all!

Good teams like LSU take an
extra quarter to wear down

Hi Ed,
Hey, I have been talking with the Webmaster and I may be able to return to regular posting again. He assures me that he is returning the Board to the original picture policy. I can handle a small picture in a post, but not two, three and four at a time or the huge ones. He told me to let him know if I see any irrelevant pictures posted.

It would be nice.

Cheers,

Jim

Hi Jim,

Glad to see you back posting at your old home - I missed you - are you going to start up your tea room devotional again?

Dan

We got no ice here - thankfully.

We did get snow starting around noon. I travelled 88 miles today - transporting young people to church (We live less than a mile from church) - but it's worth it to have the kids in the Lord's house.

It started snowing more this evening - my round trip - 44 miles took well over an hour - probably closer to 90 minutes.

I too have the beginnings of neuropathy - mine is from diabetes - I was on my feet most of Thursday - Friday - Saturday - working on the house. I felt it more today in the feet than I think I have in some time.

But it's good to be walking about - and I'm thankful that I am not as bad off as some others are.

Dan - praising the Lord!

Images should only be posted if necessary to illustrate a point. Sometimes it's easier to post a picture than explain things in words (i.e. Dean's angry face), however, abuse of this feature slows down page loading for many people who are here for biblical discussions and it distracts from the topics being discussed.

Thus it is written. Thus it shall be done.

Rats. Just when I was getting the hang of cut-and-paste!

Oh, well, if it means helping folks focus on discussion and not waste time uploading a gazillion pix, then I will adjust.

Until my next grandbaby comes. THEN out will come the pictures!!

Hi, Jim, Dan, Dr. Bob!

I'm sitting here watching OU lose to LSU!

It seems that every time OU does something good, there is a penalty......

It looks like they are playing just like they played Kansas State. Don't know what happened to them

 

[Dr. Bob]

Oklahoma has player poorly, but the mark of a great team is to "pick up slack" somewhere and make a win out of it.

Blocked punt for TD and interception for TD. Their offense is not good (like Kansas game) but the defense is playing well enough to win. I'm just gonna wait.

Plus, I'm doing therapy and strapped into an anodyne so I CAN'T move if I wanted to!!

 

[Ed Edwards]

Praise Jesus!!
I get to go to work tomorrow!!!

 

[Thankful]

Well, it got exciting there for a few minutes.

I have never seen so many penalty flags.

The nice thing is that LSU won their first championship in forty years. I know they are very excited and proud.

 

[Thankful]

Praise Jesus!!
I get to go to work tomorrow!!!

I'm "thankful" that you are getting to go to work tomorrow!

 

[Dr. Bob]

And after such a weak showing by LSU (against a pathetic OU team) I think the #1 USC Trojans should be a unanimous pick.

BCS has failed us royally this year . . and they say it will not change next year.

Why tinker with failure?

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Good morning all!

It is brrrr cold outside!

This ruling should not affect the Coffee Shop because:

1. This is a 'fun' thread.

2. We don't have biblical discussions here.

3. We have no debates here.

4. The sigs we've been using fall within the BB logo size range (although no size is mentioned in the latest ruling).

5. Our topics change so quickly, the distraction thing would not be a problem.

Off to check other forums...

 

[Jim1999]

This ruling is specific to the All Other Discussions. I shall report any abuse to the Webmaster as I was instructed. It was enacted so that I could post here. Others on the Board were NOT using the abuse. There is something called Christian considerations too.

Good morning. Cold and blistery here to-day, but I shall take it in stride.

Cheers,

Jim

Good Morning Jim and Good Morning to everyone else too.

I hope you are all ok this day which is a gift from our Lord.
It is grey and wet here, not raining at the moment. I haven't been outside yet so I don't know what the temperature is like.
I am going for a wander and will look in later,

God Bless

This ruling is specific to the All Other Discussions.

Oh. You mean it does not apply to any other forums but this one?

It was enacted so that I could post here.

Actually, it has been discussed many times. I cannot believe webmaster would cater to one individual when there are a cazillion other forums and threads where said individual may post. In webmaster's ruling...no specific forums were mentioned.

There is something called Christian considerations too.

I agree. Most of the posters in this forum enjoy the pictures and graphics immensely. Maybe the ones who don't enjoy them could have a little Christian consideration for us?

BTW, my sigs are not violating the new ruling.

HAGD!

P.S.
Please feel free to report me if you feel me to be in violation of ANY of the BB rules...not just this one.

P.S.S.

Since this is not a debate thread, but a fellowship thread, please handle any future complaints via PM or email as requested in the BB rules.

4. We encourage personal problems with other members be resolved privately via email or personal messaging.

Thanks!

§ue - your trying to be nice moderator

 

[following-Him]

Please don't argue. I thought we were all friends here. I love you all and I don't like to see friction.

Blessings

Sheila

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Good Morning Sheila!

I have missed you!

There will be no arguing in the Coffee House, it is against the rules!

A separate thread may be started to discuss this, if necessary, but, not to worry, it will not be tolerated on this thread.

Blessings,

[following-Him]

I just think we need to be considerate of all people and their circumstances. If certain kinds of posts interfere with someones' ability to stay connected then I think it should be taken into account so that all may have the benefit of posting and fellowship here. To do anything that causes someone to have connection problems is, to my way of thinking a stumbling block and we all know what Jesus said about that.

God Bless

Sheila

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

This is true Sheila. But anything smaller or the same size as the BB logo, and only one to a post, should not cause ANYONE any problems.

People who do not like to debate should stay away from debate forums. People who do not like to fellowship should stay away from fellowship forums. People who do not like graphics should stay away from forums that use a lot of graphics.

I believe that is why the Tea Room was started. There is nothing but text there. That is the way things should be handled.

If you don't like a thread, start one of your own in another forum and make your own rules.

Please let's have an end to this discussion. It goes agaisnt everything the Coffee House stands for and the reason it was created.

Thanks!
