"Bored" ..... My Mom's reply when we told her that?: "I'll find SOMETHING for you to do". It usually involved a broom or a rake !!

Most of the time hitting refresh solves the problem but last night was awful. It took 4 or 5 times before a reply would post. Sometimes when I check my comments I find that the reply has already posted.

I noticed Kudsman did a triple post and he said he kept getting DNS errors and was unaware that the post was going thru.

Oh, yeah. When that happens to me, I will usually go to the thread again (since I have multiple I.E.'s open at one time) and see if my post 'stuck'. If not, I just try again.

Well, I'm heading out the door to Bally's. Wish my wife were here and going with me. More than 2 more weeks before she comes home, though. :^(

See you later on. :^)

Good morning, Laura Earl.

Is CG coming home tonight or tomorrow night? How is LulaBelle doing? Is she still waiting and watching for him to drive in?

Have a great day.

Thank You!

I hope CG doesn't find out we've left you off some pings.

We'll be in big trouble. I wouldn't want to be the focus of his irritation after a week of no internet.

Is there any way we could arrange for you to have custody of Saddam Hussein for a few days?

The Making Of Us

Read: Hebrews 12:1-11

Whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. —Hebrews 12:6

Bible In One Year: Job 1-2; Acts 7:22-43


When my husband was a child, his mother sometimes scolded and disciplined him for disobeying her. During one such scolding he said to her imploringly, "You must be nice to your little boy!" His words touched her tender heart. But because she loved him, she continued his discipline and training. Years later as a missionary, Bill was grateful for her tough love, for it was the making of him.

God also disciplines and trains His erring sons and daughters. He may do so directly (1 Corinthians 11:29-32), or He may allow life's hardships to melt us, mold us, and make us more like Jesus. In Hebrews 12:6, we're assured that "whom the Lord loves He chastens." Yet God's chastening doesn't feel very loving. Sometimes we even think it's ruining us. But God's discipline is the very thing that will save us from the ruin of our selfish, stubborn ways.

Although we're unlikely to enjoy God's discipline, we're told that it trains us for right and holy living (vv.7-11). Rather than resisting God's correction, we can yield to Him, confident that His goal is our spiritual growth. Whatever our circumstances, God knows the seriousness of our difficulties and is working powerfully behind the scenes for our good.

His tough love is the making of us. —Joanie Yoder

God's loving hand of discipline
May give us little rest;
His only purpose is our good —
He wants for us what's best. —D. De Haan

God's discipline is designed to make us like His Son.

He'll be in tomorrow night. LulaBelle isn't watching as much, but is acting sad. CG said there was a Petsmart close to where he is, and he is going today to get her a new toy.

You have a great day too...wow, it's still REALLY early there...you must be an early riser!

CG will be so happy to be back home, he won't be irritated by anything (HA!). After Directv gets installed, he will have Discovery Wings, and THAT should make him delirious!

Like sin the parrotfeather plant can suck the life out of a lively aquatic world.

A blonde is speaking to her psychiatrist.

LOL. I like blonde jokes, and my friends forward them to me a lot. Probably because I'm blonde. But I hope I'm not that blonde!

"Hey, isn't our candidate choking?"
"I'd definitely say Kerry's choking."
"I know exactly what to do. I've seen it in the movies.
You make a ball with your fist, stand behind the guy,
and pull -- hard -- on the solar plexus...."
"Yes, the solar plexus."
"It expels his policy positions."
"But hey, why bother? Who cares?"
"Yeah, who cares. He'll change them tomorrow."
