I found it but hubby came in and asked if he could change the channel.

Since I spend so much time on the internet, we’ve agreed that he has control of the tv.

I’ll listen to the discussion tomorrow to find out what happened. :)

Good night all. Sweet Dreams.

[JustAmy]

Nite, Kitty. Sweet Dreams.

[yorkie]

Night, Amy - you didn't miss much!
We'll fill you in tomorrow.
Sweet 'Angel" dreams, tonight!

[JustAmy]

Night, Yorkie. See you tomorrow.

Okay, he just finished watching the three videos and I have no idea what he is going to do. And I have no idea what your posts meant, yorkie and Billie. Now I am even more confused than ever!

The show is back on, gotta go. I will be back when it's over.

Hmmmmmm......I am kinda sad to see Jillian go home.

Did you notice that DeAnna looks a bit chunkier than she did the last time we saw her? I guess maybe they are going to bring her back next week?

Anyway, this whole thing is exhausting. I am agonizing along with him over the decisions he is having to make. But, I think it is going to be Melissa......or, it could be Molly. I cannot believe it's going to be DeAnna. NOOOOOOOOO!!!

She must be quite full of herself to have the nerve to come back and tell him that it's not too late to have another chance with her. I hope he tells her "thanks, but no thanks".

Good Morning Amy
How are you? Is Prissy Missy off this week? Booboo is off for winter vacation. I'm enjoying the time off with her. Have a great day!

[jaycee]

I have a long way to go! And lots of thinking and studying to do....!

[jaycee]

Hi G.B. It sure won’t be long until spring now! I love it but there’s a lot of outside stuff to do now! But it will be so nice to run in and out without sweaters, jackets, or coats!
Wishing you a very nice day!

[GodBlessUSA]

Looking forward to it.

I finally had a deer with Antlers visiting the other evening. I went to take the dog out and he was at the feeder. He didn’t run. So I said, Hi, LOL. Then we went out front instead. :)

Have a great day Jaycee!

Perhaps Today

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Matthew 24:36-46

You also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. —Matthew 24:44

A year ago, I read an article saying that millions of TV sets in the United States would stop working today unless they were able to receive digital signals. Notices appeared in electronics stores, and the government even offered a free $40 coupon toward the purchase of a converter box.

I suspect that most people took the necessary steps to make sure their TV set would work when they turned it on today. We usually respond well to warnings tied to specific dates, but often fail to prepare for an event that will come “some day.”

When the disciples asked Jesus about the date of His return (Matt. 24:3), He told them that only God the Father knows: “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only” (v.36). Then He urged them to be prepared so that they would not be taken by surprise. “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (v.44).

We don’t know when Jesus will return; He may come at any time. Dr. M. R. De Haan, founder of RBC Ministries, kept a two-word motto in his office: “Perhaps Today.”

When we make our daily plans, are we aware that Christ may return? Are we prepared to meet Him?

The darkness deepens! Yes, but dawn is nearer!
The Lord from heaven may soon be on His way;
The “blessed hope” in these dark days grows dearer,
Our Savior Christ will come—perhaps today! —Smith

If Christ comes today, will you be ready to meet Him?

Good Morning all, up and at’m its a new day, the day Obama signs us into a socialist country. (not sure, are we now supposed to address each other as Comrade Biological Life Unit from here on out to be politically correct?)

(yes there is a measure of sarcasm there, but that’s just me when seeing a totalitarian government when I wake up!)

Perhaps a bit prophetic, but...

There’s No Road Back

It were a country road, a dusty path to somewhere
a new horizon for me to explore, with some care
so far from my known old stomping grounds it led
and I was so eager to saddle up, and so off I sped
now time has taken me around the world and back
yet now I see that in a way most important, I lack
its not the same as when I left, and never will be
what I’ve lost can not be regained again you see

OZ is getting a Flush Tax?


"PERTH NOW

Householders to be charged for each flush of toilet
Article from: The Sunday Telegraph

November 16, 2008 03:00pm

HOUSEHOLDERS would be charged for each flush under a radical new toilet
tax designed to help beat the drought. The scheme would replace the current
system, which sees sewage charges based on a home's value - not its waste water
output.
CSIRO Policy and Economic Research Unit member Jim McColl and
Adelaide University Water Management Professor Mike Young plan to promote
the move to state and federal politicians and experts across the country."

How about politicians (only) have to pay a tax for all the WASTE they've created,
and another politician-only tax for all the budget overages they've spent!
That pair of taxes on the real 'rich' could support a whole country!

[jaycee]

Thank you again, Mr. Mayor, for an important message today! Its true and chilling!

“Perhaps Today”
So right.
