Looking good, Darks. :-D
You'll find it.
For sure. Hope you're enjoying your weekend.
Yes, I am ...Go Yankees :-)
Go Yankees!!!
A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things.
They decide to go to the doctor for a checkup. The doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.
Later that night while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.
His wife asks, "Where are you going?"
"To the kitchen" he replies.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
"Sure."
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks.
"No, I can remember it."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. You'd better write it down because you know you'll forget it."
He says, "I can remember that! You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, so you'd better write it down!" she retorts.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it!
Leave me alone! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!" Then he grumbles into the kitchen.
After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment and says - "Where's my toast?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three old guys are out walking. First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"
Second one says, "No, its Thursday!"
Third one says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect."
"Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"
"Twelve thirty."
LOL!!!
A Minister decided to do something a little different one Sunday morning.
He said, "Today, church, I am going to say a single word and you are
going to help me preach. Whatever single word I say, I want you to sing whatever hymn comes to your mind."
The pastor shouted out, "Cross."
Immediately the congregation started singing in unison, "The Old Rugged Cross."
The Pastor hollered out, "Grace."
The congregation began to sing, "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound."
The Pastor said, "Power."
The congregation sang, "There is Power in the Blood."
The Pastor said, "Sex."
The congregation fell into total silence. Everyone was in shock. They all nervously began to look around at each other, afraid to say anything.
Suddenly, from the back of the church, a frail little 87 year-old grandmother stood up and, in a tiny quavering voice, began to
sing, "Precious Memories."
~~deadhead~~
Hi everyone. I hope you are all having a good weekend.
I was wondering if anyone would like to take over posting the holidays. Things have become so busy for me that I don't have much time to post them. Let me know if you would like to do so and I'll give you the links to the holiday sites.
Thanks.
I'm doing ok, the place is the friendliest place I have ever been to, the people all want to know about USA, and they seem to like us like you cannot imagine!
Not at all what I expected!
Dont drink the water in Beijing unless it comes out of a bottle. DONT ASK!
The local river stinks, it is an open sewer, and WORSE than Olongapo River ever was!
Go to http://www.RushLimbaugh.com , I am the featured picture in front of Chairman Mao wearing my Club Gitmo shirt given to me by the illustrious Doctor Raoul!!
Hi there RB! thanks for checking in. Are you on holiday or working there now? Love the pix /shirt. I have your pix snagged for the FReeper collage I am doing (posted a few drafts last week) I recall a few folks in the past couple years posting from China. they had to be very careful as they were fearful if found out they were participating on Western forums. Many posted from work as they didn't have connection capacity on their home computers I guess. Not sure if the fear was from state or employer & the "IT team". Keep us posted

When We Speak Foolishly
Read:
|
When former law professor Phillip E. Johnson had a stroke, he was so afraid of being mentally and physically impaired that he wished the doctor would give him a painless death. He said, "That was a foolish thought, of course, but not the last foolish thought I was to have."
In my own pastoral ministry, I've heard some of God's children express thoughts worse than Johnson'seven rebellious words against God.
Psalm 39 offers comfort to people who regret the thoughtless things they've said in times of despair. David was gravely ill and desperate when he wrote the psalm. At first he kept silent lest he speak foolishly (vv.1-3). But when he could contain himself no longer, he prayed a wonderful prayer (vv.4-9).
But in verses 10 and 11 his tone began to change. According to the British scholar Derek Kidner, David spoke foolishly when he said, "Remove Your gaze from me, . . . before I go away and am no more" (v.13). David expressed a hopeless attitude toward death, and said to God, in effect, "Leave me alone." Kidner comments that God included this prayer in the Bible to reassure us that when we say things out of desperation He understands. And when we tell Him how sorry we are, He graciously forgives.

Our tongue can be our own worst enemy.
Thanks for checking in. One of my coworkers is from China, has been in the states for about 10 years now, she is such a nice person, very friendly. If I ever travel to Beijing, I will not drink the water. OK, I won't ask :-) The pic of you on Rush's site is great, very cool. Have a good day / night (LOL, don't know what time it is in China right now)
Good Morning, Mayor. A Blessed Sunday to all.
Good morning Rus. Just on my way out the door for church. Thank you for your lesson in God's Word! See ya later!

Oh, by the way, it ia 12 hours difference...until daylight savings time anyways...
thanks for all the great pix! bookmarking and saving. What a wonderful experience.. but not so wonderful to not have much time off. I was in Hong Kong before the "change".. from the mainland we could look over the fence to the "forbidden" red areas (not good red, like OUR RED). I really appreciate you sharing the pix. I am a photography / graphic nut & just love when others share their experiences via pix.
