COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #53

Good evening all!

Great news Doc - now we can expect many more years of your harassment here on BB!

Took my computer back to COMP USA today. All that's wrong with the machine is that the sleeve that hold the on/off switch in place - has a plastic retainer - smaller around than a pencil lead - and maybe 1/4" long break off. The new part includes a plug, a switch, and two lights. Cost $120 - on June 15, 2004 - I paid 149.99 for a three year service contract - so I'm just getting part of my money back. They will UPS me the part when it comes in - I should have no problem replacing it.

Here's the kicker - the tech said that normally he wouldn't be able to get just the switch. Usually he would have to get the whole case. But must be lots of people were having the same problem - cause they list the switch as a part that is available. But with my machine - there is no part number for the case. So if they didn't have the switch - and as they don't have the case - they would have had to give me a new computer. Now that wouldn't have been such a bad thing!

Well - I'm glad the computer still works - I would be lost without it.

Morning all.

Had a pain in the neck (no, not Mary ) so had to get up early this morning.

Its cool enough here for hot beverages this morning, and cold drinks are in the fridge.

 

It's raining again today.

My head deacon and his wife - along with his brother and his wife (or I could say - my head deacons wife and her husband - along with her sister and her husband) are each celebrating their 50th wedding anniversaries today - looks like in the rain.

- my head deacon says - "My older brother married my wife's younger sister!"

 

Amen, Sister Gina -- Sing it!

 

It's MORNING?
My doc has me on new medicine and this ain't gonna work, it makes me sleeeeeeppp!
Breakfast sounds good Sue, can we go over there? LOL I made us oatmeal, the poor kids are along for the ride on my low cholesterol low sat. fats new lifestyle. If we eat any more fiber we're going to turn into stalks of wheat!
Gina

 

Morning All,

We are going to hit 106 today, how we long for rain! Got called to the church at 1:30 in the am because someone was spinning circles in the lot and ran over water faucet, produced the closest thing to rain we have seen in months.

Dad seems to be doing better each day. I am heading off to the hospital they will be placing a feeding tube in his stomach at noon today. Thank you all for prayers, they have really made a difference.

Have a great day in Jesus one and all.

Bro Tony

 

Just in for a cool down, potty break and quick lunch and then we have to hurry back out. My fingers are vibrating and my left knee ACHES from the clutch. I did the driving this morning. We had all old trailers down LONG drives and are heading back out to do a new subdivision with steep front porches. We'll all do those to try and get it finished more quickly. I still cannot believe it is possible to get this done by Tuesday. WAY too many homes spread too far apart! BUT.... we need the money and praise God for all his blessings, even the painful ones!

Diane

 

Amen Diane! Have been praying for you and rejoice how the Lord is making provision for you.

Maybe we need to pray for some cool weather now ?

 

Diane, I used to do something similar. One word of warning is to check out what happens at tax time. It's not considered being employed by a company if you're doing what I used to do, and I lost about 40% of what I made to taxes I had to pay on the income at tax time.
Gina

 

Hi Gina, since we only made $11,000 TOTAL last year and have made almost zero this year, I think I don't have to worry bout taxes. LOL. Bellsouth will take out taxes and S/S from my check. I had to give them the info. This was a very bad decision on my part. I never guessed it would be such horrible work. My left knee is in such pain. I've got it wrapped in an ace bandage part of the time but it sounds like velcro pulling apart when I go up or down stairs. OUCH.

We still have SO much to do! It's still 92° at almost 5:00 p.m. so we came home for supper and some cooling down but have GOT to go back out and will have to work all day Sunday plus as much as we can on Monday til it's all done. All for $200. I figure that means we'll have made $30. a day.

Diane

 

Good night everyone.

Looking forward to a wonderful Lord's Day tomorrow.

I am preaching from Galatians 6v11-18 - "Our Only Glory"

 

Hey Diane,
I sent you an e-mail several days ago. But sent it through BB and had no carbon copy. Did you happen to get it?

Karen

 

Good evening All

The 50th anniversary celebration I told you of this morning - went well. It quit raining shortly after I got off BB - and it was sunny and cool.

Food - lots of it - chicken, pig roast, salads, rolls, chips, salt potatoes - it was good!

Dan - time to sleep!

 

Howdy, just wanted to say that.
