What Happened When The Mods Pulled My Post?

Thanks! Mr. Sg does the welding. I’d make a colossal mess of it. I have one of those circular knitting looms and really want to try to make socks and hats with it but the stupid thing doesn’t come with illustrations and instructions so I need to get them off the interwebs. Did you evah?

Tea’s good. Howya doin’?

I can’t stand her, but Mrs. Liberty thinks she’s just great.

It is a tremendous loss for the whole world. We, as an entire species, don’t even get greatness like that every generation.

Me?

Our Pastor tells this story every couple of weeks.

We have a Tuesday prayer service and we have prayer cards people can hand friends to record the needs and bring to the service.

One week a woman dropped by the Pastor’s office to tell him they had to take their dog to a no-kill shelter because it had developed some condition they could not afford to treat. On the way to the shelter everyone was sad until their youngest grabbed a prayer card, wrote “I want my dog back.” and declared that their problems were solved.

The parents tried to explain to the child how God doesn’t work that way and offer what comfort they could, but the child just kept brandishing the card claiming it would all be OK.

Two days later the head vet at the shelter called and told the family he would pay the dog’s vet bills for the rest of its life if they would take it back. The vet had not been told about the card and had no connection to the family our our Church.

The moral? Take the kitteh to a no-kill shelter, but don’t forget to pray.

Rotel has a new diced tomatoes and habañero flavor. Made a stew with it last night.

Did you notice the bullhorn?

One day when I was taking a lesson at about 1,000 feet we flew over someone’s fenced in back yard. The someone was laying in the sun on a raft in her pool. My instructor said, “Watch this,” and opened the window. He shouted, “Helloooooo!” I can only imagine the look on her face, but I could see her sit up and look around to see who was calling her.

And we didn’t even have a bullhorn. :-)

Morning everyone.

That is a great guitar player.

I would take the cat to the shelter in a heartbeat if only it weren’t three states away from me.

I don’t have my grandson’s phone number, though I have the apartment address...just not the apartment number. The dynamics behind that are too convoluted to discuss on open forum, so suffice to say, I may see them tomorrow or Friday. But nothing definite.

Is this a sign I should run for the hills again? It’s SOP, as was once to by someone here.

It involves going out dancing on stage again, eh?

I bought a set of those circular knitting looms, and the package has the destruction photos as well as a DVD. I’m just not up to trying the technique, yet. I have to wait til my brain says, “Let’s DO it!”

I liked her in the series, “As Time Goes By.” I prefer Dame Maggie Smith. I’ve never seen her in a role she didn’t steal the show with.

Dench is a little on the “meh” side.

Job fair today. Continuation of the forbearance on home officially denied yesterday, starting new massive paperwork cycle. GE officially reviewing my resume yessss. Got a Texas job lead from a FReeper yesterday. Mom got a new water heater, $1800 installed, it had better have platinum lined pipes. Dog sitting the ex's dog. The company I'm targeting at the job fair is at the extreme edge of my comfortable commute distance, but I'd be working with "energetic materials" (translation, I'd get to blow s4!t up!). Kid's sick. Just a cold, he'll live. Best friend is having BF troubles, I'm on call for support. Still need more people I can sign up for video phone, land line, cell, gas/electric, home security, interwebs, cable/satellite and/or 'puter support. The clover I planted is finally coming up (I figured it's a weed, even I can't kill it). Only set off the smoke alarm three times cooking yesterday. Kid thought the stew was good in the end though...

[Monkey Face]

Would that it were!
