COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #86

Whoa, weather, Sue!!! Yep, hadn't thought about that one. And should have thought about the disrespect aspect from my experience as an interim high school teacher!!
Well, keep up the good work!!!!

 

Hello,

The City schools closed today and tomorrow
"in anticipation of rising fuel costs".
So far they haven't risen as much or as fast as after Hurricane Katrina. Guess they have to try to save some money where they can.

If I bought a lottry ticket, would y'all pray for me to win?

 

Our kids had school today and whinned all day that it just wasn't fair. Their momma said it wasn't fair that she had to hear it all day.

Oh, may Gayla win and give me half

 

Hear about the dairy farmer that won 3 million dollars in the lottery? When asked what he was going to do with his winnings he replied, "Guess I'll just stay in farming as long as the money holds out."

I just paid $2.89/gal for regular and felt like I was stealing it.

Good night, Sue and all.

When I went to college, we were taught to eat Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So for years that is what I called it, but we have reverted back to the breakfast, dinner/lunch, and supper of my youth.

Thank you, CJ for sharing. I can just see that woman making the best of the situation, serving coffee, water, food and provided the needed bathrooms. I was glad that they helped her cleanup the trash and litter.

 

I so enjoyed that testimony, CJ.
I've always eaten dinner, although I have many good friends who eat supper. I was just invited over for "supper" to one of their houses Sat. night and I wasn't going to tell them they were using the wrong word!!

 

Call it dinner, supper or hog tying. I stll haven't missed one since the 70s!

 

Morning all:

Sue, I guess I'm gonna have to start sending my mom some money towards her electric and gas bills. She's already about ready to pull her hair out because they are so high. They're going to be higher here, also, by 33%. But, God knows our needs.

It's foggy here and 68 this morning. Viv said the fog was really heavy up on TN 840 and on Midland-Fosterville Rd. 231 Wasn't so bad, though.

I didn't sleep much last night. I kept waking up with pain in my back and legs. I'm going to have to buy a recliner or go ahead and break down and buy the sofa with two recliners in it.

I'm praying for all of you today. May the Lord make his face shine upon you and his hand guide you in all you do.

Be good, Be kind, Be careful.

Growing up in England, we had breakfast in the morning, dinner at noon, tea at 4 (really a small snack) and supper at about 7. The main meal of the day was dinner,,hence the word dinner..supper is a light evening meal.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Busy day here making new frames for windows. Since all my tools are at home and these windows are at village house, I am trucking back and forth.

Sue, things are quite different everywhere regarding mealtimes. It doesn't trouble me whether one calls the evening meal dinner or supper. I just can't get hung up on some words.

Dale must be very careful taking coumadin (sp..lol). It is rat poison by any other name, and a slight cut will bleed forever. I took it for awhile. Imagine the fun I had doing my 5 daily blood sugar tests and the little geysers at the tip of my fingers. I had to give it up, or charge admission for those viewing me doing a little dance.

Believe it or not, Brits drink almost as much coffee as they do tea. I drink about 3 cups of coffee every day...the shops just can't make tea properly and got into that habit.

My daughter, the doctor, faints when she gets needles herself, but it doesn't trouble her to give them. I'm not sure that we ever get used to the needles...I would like to forget them...just be sure to change location or a lump will form...maybe being on the tubby side does have its benefits.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Coumadin sounds like something that should not be given to people! Rat Poison!? ?!!??
Did Coumadin start the same time as the shots? Maybe he'll be able to stop both soon. (please, Lord)


Our electric company raised rates 7% back in the spring, so maye it won't go up again so soon. (Please, Lord)
[our last 2 bills have been pretty high, but someone in this house is having hot flashes that seem to last for hours.]
We need a Praying Graemlin!

Y'all have a good day, and a good Supper!

 

Morning all:

Going to be short this morning.It's a cool 59 here with a humidity level of 100%. There is medium to heavy fog.

Sue, I will be praying for Dale.

Asking for special prayer from ya'll today. I know this isn't the prayer forum. I mowed the lawn (most of it) by riding mower yesterday, and part of the neighbors since they had helped with part of ours, and had a severe asthma attack. I gave myself three breathing treatments, but I'm still not able to breath well. I can't just sit in this house all day long, and needed (YES NEEDED!!) to be outside yesterday. I needed some sunlight. I've already started on inhalers and breathing treatments this morning. Pray I'm well enough to be in service tonight. I'm claiming "I can do ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST which STRENGTHENETH ME."

God bless ya'll today and make his face to shine upon you.

Be good, Be kind, Be careful

Love you.

Bro. T

 

Sue,

You better figure it out - or you will never hit 40,000 posts!
