All gone!

[Patrick Russell]

So passes another evening in boredom. Hoping that changes soon though with a job.

[Glenda Harvey]

Hot, sticky and no air conditioning!!!

[Susan Unger]

Sitting at home with a migraine due to Irene. Feel for you both, Patrick and Glenda.

[Marg Shurtliff]

10 posts this time and my one got 10 hours and 27 minutes .

Note to Susan " In your dreams ! " lol

[Glenda Harvey]

The nice thing about the Mountains is that he nights cool down nicely no matter how hot it is during the day.

I'm still overloaded at work and getting in trouble for not having everything done. I need a new job but with retirement only 10 years away it is hard to know what is best to do.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Happy Sunday morning though we are lacking any sun here !

[Steven Burton]

I enjoy the sun, although lately i have been missing my spring weather.

[Marg Shurtliff]

3 posts this time and I got 5 hours and 17 minutes with the first and 4 hours and 4 minutes with the second . About 9 ½ all total . No sun at all today and quite windy . Mid 60's temp wise .

[Susan Unger]

Lost power for 8 hours today. Then when it came back, I lost my phone line and dsl. So I am at Amercian Bread Company using my netbook. I have a serious problem - I was anxious and felt like I was dying whilst waiting for my internet. Now that I have it, I am happy as a clam. That doesn't sound good.....

But do feel fo ryou Glenda. My aunt in Poway was complaining up a storm about the heat. She has no AC cuz my uncle from Hawaii lived with out it when it ws a kid, there fore he doesn't understand our need for AC.:smilies1722:

[Patrick Russell]

Being in a house without AC is weird.

[Steven Burton]

Yes, it is. It is like a common commodity (if that is accurate for the use of the word).

[Marg Shurtliff]

We never had A/C here when I was growing up . I had it installed in 98 with a new furnace . I had an A/C unit in my bedroom as I worked nights and it was hard to sleep otherwise. Think that was in the mid 80s . It was the year the Bill Gaither trio came in May and Bill commented on the " warm " welcome we gave them . That was an exceptionally hot May .

[Glenda Harvey]

I live in the mountains. The Realtors always tell prospective buyers that most of the houses up here do not have air conditioning because we don't need. That may have been true 30 0r 40 years ago but as long as I have been up here there have been days when we have really need it. When the temperatures hit 105 to 110 down below it is in the 90's here.

Psalm 104:10-18 Jeremiah 26:10-27:22; 1 Timothy 6:17-2 Timothy 1:7

I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to
my chosen people. Isaiah 43:20

Christ says, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me." John 7:37

Creator God, you prepare a new way in the wilderness and your grace
waters the desert. Help us to recognize the miracles beyond our
imagining done by your hands. Open our hearts to be transformed so our
lives may proclaim the extravagance of your love for all. Through Christ
Jesus. Amen.

Hey........

[Patrick Russell]

I'm not sure the world is ready for the Matrix to become reality or would that be an alternate reality?

[Glenda Harvey]

I don't think I can handle my job any more. I feel done. Just don't know what else I can do. The way things are going the decision may be taken from me.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Sorry things aren't going better for you Glenda . Praying for you .

From Moravian Daily Texts -

Psalm 104:19-23 Jeremiah 28:1-29:14; 2 Timothy 1:8-18

God said, "Let there be light;" and there was light. Genesis 1:3

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down
from the Father of lights. James 1:17 (NASB)

Gracious God, we are so thankful for all the good things in life. So
much of our daily living depends upon these good things, and our
receiving them depends in turn upon the work and daily life of so many
other human beings. Strengthen us to do our part in resolving the
world's difficult times and in easing the world's suffering. Amen.

Psalm 104:24-30 Jeremiah 29:15-30:11; 2 Timothy 2:1-13

In God's hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains
are his also. Psalm 95:4

One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. Jesus said to
him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." At once the man was made well,
and he took up his mat and began to walk. John 5:5,8-9

Faithful God of love, we gather the needs of ourselves and others, and
offer them to you in faith and love. Shape us and transform us by your
grace so we may grow in wisdom and confidence, never faltering, until we
have done all which you desire to bring your realm of shalom to
fulfillment. Amen.

My pastor is encouraging us to have a 40 days of prayer and fasting for our church. So, I am fasting the internet. I decided I would get on here once a day and then shut the computer off until the next day. So, I'll be back...just not today.

My internet at home is not working so I am at a grocery store using their wifi on my netbook. My netbook is so much slower than my desktop. It, and the arguing Chinese couple next to me, are annoying me greatly. So, I'll be calling the phone company tomorrow.

Went to the farmer's market today, got my new prescription reading glasses [I'm old now I guess], got canning supplies, took lots of pix, and now am getting ready to exercise. Full day for me. This weekend mom and I will can spaghetti sauce, salsa, peaches, peach jam and anything else that floats our boats.

[Gina Stevenson]

Congrats, Mark! Now, who would want to wake you when they could snatch one of the neatest snarks for themselves ... 5555? ;)

[Steven Burton]

Are you hibernating for summer?

[Patrick Russell]

hibernating sounds like a good idea to me.

Hi All!

Hi. Since it will not let me just say I. I will say good evening as well ;).

Good Evening to you too!

Hola...

Susan , don't know why you can't get the link to work . http://www.star28.net/snow.html
You type in your name / message and hit submit and almost right away the penguins and snow come up and then the eventual message written .

Congratulations , Mark , on your snarf . I knew it was coming up but didn't want to do several posts in a row . And as Gina said , not one of us would wake you up for a snarf . You have to take your chances like the rest of us .

12 posts today and my one got a whole 10 hours and 17 minutes being last .

Oh, how neat, Marg! Was waiting to see what sort of "message" it was going to write, with no idea it writes what you've written in that message box. Duh! ;)

Cute!

[Susan Unger]

5 quarts of canned peaches still warm from their hot water bath are sitting on my parents' countertop this evening. :)

Not working today. Finally catching up at work but still in trouble for not having everything ready when the teachers got back. I'm not sure how everyone else does it. Maybe I just need to find a new job.

Figuring on 10 years til retirement. It is not an easy decision to make.

Early night for me tonight. Sorry things are still not going well at work , Glenda . I can understand why you don't want to make a major change at this point in your life . Praying that you will make the right decisions .

Catfish! I'm jealous!

Now if I can only remember till Friday, to make sure we go out to Cracker Barrel this week. Then I'll get some catfish. Can't hardly wait!

Mom sent dad to the store to buy a few items for the salsa...came back home saying that the catfish 'just jumped into the grocery cart' and could Mom make it for him... So she did, with the proverbial clothes pin on her nose to hide the smell of cooking catfish. He was happy with his dinner - catfish and cobbler!

[Marg Shurtliff]

My dad loved catfish and my mom would cook it for him and have some as well. I still remember the catfish he had cut the head off that fell to the floor and was flopping around . And the live one my older brother had caught and threw down my end of the boat .I was not amused . I have never eaten it nor do I have any desire to ever do so .

Well, I'm off to Dunkin Donuts for my ration of one dry toasted bagel with a black coffee. But I'm going to imagine eating a plate of catfish, eggs and grits with a side of biscuits and gravy!

And the live one my older brother had caught and threw down my end of the boat .I was not amused . I have never eaten it nor do I have any desire to ever do so .I'm with you. I couldn't eat something like that either. Reminds me of when I was in Mexico for Youth in Mission. My friends and I were helping out a local Mexican Indian village. We enjoyed petting the little lamb they had there on the last day. After our lamb dinner, we urban gals suddenly noticed that our new pet was missing from its pen. Suddenly that dinner had a different feel in our stomachs.

Anyways, the catfish part of yesterday was not from scratch ;). Mom didn't have to clean it or deheaded it, etc. Thank goodness!

60 degrees and heavy rain. It this were snow, the misery would be worth it.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Drum roll ! Susan snarfed the palindrome post of 5335 ! Congratulations , Susan . I knew it was 3 away when I went to bed and hoped it might be a quiet day here but alas it wasn't.

10 posts this time and my first got just 7 minutes and the second 4 hours and 12 minutes .

Hello!

[Marg Shurtliff]

Hello to you !

[Susan Unger]

I'm just not observant about the palindromes.....sigh....but much more than Mark is!!

On other news....I am so sick of living in the swamplands. Schools have let out early due to all the flooding.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Didn't realize there was so much flooding still going on .

Just 3 posts this time . I managed 44 minutes with the first and 10 hours and 43 minutes with the second .

[Susan Unger]

Didn't realize there was so much flooding still going on .

Just 3 posts this time . I managed 44 minutes with the first and 10 hours and 43 minutes with the second .

It's going down on record for how bad the flooding is. We got 5 inches of rain TODAY. 4 inches during Irene. So, within the last week - 9 inches of rain. When the river crests on Saturday, it is predicted to be the 4th highest level on record. With one more inch of rain [which we'll get by the end of the week], we'll go on record for being the 5th wetting year on record. Nearby Hershey is in a worse state since they are in a lower, flood plain. My street is partially closed. I can go north but not south on it. An area public school couldn't get the kids home so they have to spend the night at the school. An other area will need to be evacuated since it is in a flood plain near the river.

[Marg Shurtliff]

The only parts of PA I am familiar with are Erie ( overnighted there multi times ) and Pittsburgh and the latter is so hilly I can't see them flooding much . Also was in Altoona but was pretty young then so don't recall what it was like . Where are you in relation to those , Susan ?

Those cities are in the western part of the state. I am in the south central. The western part did not receive much rain if any this past week. We got 2 more inches over night. So our amount is in 3 days time 11.19 inches of rain. Hershey, PA is under water.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Just 3 posts . Seems to be just Susan and I talking back and forth . To me that means we are the ones in the running to be last ! I'd gladly share the honours with Susan . Managed 21 minutes with my first and 6 hours 29 minutes with my second .

Thanks for posting. Hmm...I wonder if 5353 is considered a snarf of some sort...

Was wondering that , too, yesterday when I realized it would come up soon . Guess Mark is our official snarf judge . But I think we could together decide it was one as we are the most consistent posters here ! I vote " yes! "

8 posts this time . Got one whole minute with the first and 3 hours 44 minutes with the second .

To be fair I like cold weather and this will be first winter in years where I will actually see snow. So I am excited.

Hi yourself , Glenda . Nice to see you checking in .

It's raining again. I am sick of rain.

The only problem with having Marg's share of snow is that it means we'd have to have more precipitation. I will go insane if we have anymore.

Guess you'll have to suffer with only cold weather then ... better than freezing rain, or snow, either one ~~ in my book, tho' I'd much prefer warm, period.

[Susan Unger]

Guess you'll have to suffer with only cold weather then ...

Can't tell right now which would be worse - cold but no snow or cold with more misery from the low barometric pressure giving me a migraine and cloudy days. Your other options don't count ;)

I hear that. As much as I like the snow in northern Maine, there is way too much rain the rest of the year. In the last three weeks my framing crew has only worked six days because of rain.

Today was a nice sunny day in the low eighties, too hot for me but everybody else thinks it's nice. Around two o'clock I had to make a trip to fetch some materials. As I left the job site it began to sprinkle, soon it was raining hard enough that the wipers couldn't keep up. By the time I got back the rain was over. What timing!

Tonight they are predicting breezy in the middle forties. I've got the windows open and I'm loving it. Of course my wife just might want the windows shut as she is of a different opinion.

I'm of the same opinion as your wife! Brrrrrrrrr! Getting cold over here in Michigan, too! Ugh! :smilies1390:And soon it'll be ... :smilies0231:

Current temp here is 45ºF . Brrr!

Is everybody asleep? Good! Now let the net crash and I've won!!! :smilies0262:

Brrrrrrrrr! Getting cold over here in Michigan, too!

We had a cold front here too. Dropped into the 90s! I had to get my sweater out.

[Glenda Harvey]

Checking in again. Never get a chance during the day anymore. Hope all is well everyone. Good night until next time.

[Gina Stevenson]

Goodnight. And Tinker, if it crashes, so you can win, what proof do you have of having won? Make sure you keep a screen shot of it, including "page ### of ###" ........

[Marg Shurtliff]

Now its 42.Much too much like winter to suit me . ( and Gina ! )
Turned it over to heat again and it stayed on nearly an hour ( less 2 minutes )

As it turned out she did make an attempt to close the windows. Luckily I was able to convince her that she would be comfortable under the covers while I could sleep on top. A good nights sleep was had by all!

My week has worsened. My chuch buddy, Maxine, is dying. She's 85. While on one hand I am ok with this as this is what 85 year old people do. But on the other hand I am a basket case. In the five years I've known her, she always knew when I needed prayer - even before I knew I needed prayer often times. She was always praying for my sick friend with depression and cancer, too. I could rest easy during crisises because I knew that she had my back so to speak.

Pray that God sends me someone with that level of dedication and love, plz. Thanks.

[Gina Stevenson]

Yes, Susan. We hear your prayer request. God most likely already has an idea in mind who's to be your next (human) "comforter." ;)

[Susan Unger]

Thanks. I need one ever so much [local one that is].

Definitely local ... can't call someone X-country and say, "Hey, please meet me for coffee. Gotta talk!" (& probably if the phone's not good enough then, there's a need for a hug or two, as well, which cannot too well be administered long-distance. ;))

Raining again

Rain here as well.

[Steven Burton]

Raining again

wish it would do that more here I am tired of seeing ponds that once existed

[Susan Unger]

wish it would do that more here I am tired of seeing ponds that once existed

And I am beyond exhausted of seeing ponds where they shouldn't exist. Ground is so saturated that even the half inch of rain today or so caused lots of water in the road.

[Marg Shurtliff]

We don't have near that amount of wet , here , Susan . Enough and maybe too much but not excessive. Rather depressing with that much rain , I'm sure .
One year at Family camp when we had Jim Diehl and Danny Steele as workers ( Steal of a Deal they said ) It rained and rained and rained . Those close enough went home for rain gear but we were 211 miles from home so my mom wore plastic bags in her shoes and I wore flip flops and carried a bag with shoes , socks and a towel . It rained so hard when Dr Diehl was speaking one time that he had to stop talking as we couldn't hear him . ( metal roof on tabernacle ) . After than I always brought boots just in case .

[Jim Chabot]

Sorry to hear that. We have pretty much the same situation here, it has rained at least a couple of days a week for the last couple of months here.

I am reminded of an old farmers saying that says "it can't snow until the swamps are full." Hoping that we will see snow early this year!

I would agree! That would definately be a steal of a deal! Other than the rain, I would have enjoyed that camp for sure!

Hey, Marg! T'other day I read that often you and Susan are holding down the fort alone here. Well, tho' I don't post everyday [nearly, but not quite], I'm usually there with ya, thanking our in-house statistician ... don't notice those notes at the bottom of your posts, eh? ;)

[Susan Unger]

Need prayer for wisdom about something...

[Marg Shurtliff]

Yws , Gina , I note you have been reading but not necessarily posting . Your "presence" is " there " .


Susan, pray you sense the guidance you need .

Everyone have a good Sunday .

Prayers for much wisdom ... and peace, Susan.

[Glenda Harvey]

Good Morning Everyone! Hi Susan, praying that you receive wisdom and peace in whatever decisions you need to make.

If that happens I am sure Gina will agree that we need to put a stop to it as soon as possible . Might have to ask Scott to assist as I have no idea how to do it but it sure wouldn't be very fair . And NazNet is all about fairness ! We are all on equal footing !
Just thinking that if that couldn't be stopped that would bring an end to this thread very quickly as all the fun part would be gone !

Which episode?

"As time goes by" Margaret starts collecting worthy items for a time capsule; B.J. and Rizzo (G.W. Bailey) trade practical jokes. It is when Max meets his Korean wife.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Off to bed , not only do I have an appt tomorrow afternoon but they are coming around 8AM to dig up my water pipes .That's sure not to be a quiet affair !

[Jim Chabot]

Just got home from a Blackwood Brothers concert. Great time as always! Jimmy still sounds exactly like his dad.

Seems I recall some time capsule. That's a show I'd not mind seeing from the start, in consecutive order, since the mish-mash they seemed to show here, in no particular order, when it was on afternoons, well .......

Anyway, I did like to watch that, since I'd not seen it the first time around years ago. It's not available now, tho'; they seem to rotate various oldies in certain slots.

7 posts this time. Only managed 40 minutes with the first and 39 with the second .

Aside from BB barking they weren't that noisy today digging up the water pipes .Unfortunately they haven't even made it half way yet . Not sure how many hours they were actually here though as they had left before I went out and came back much laterafter I returned . So guess I get a repeat tomorrow but this time I'll not have gotten most of my sleep before .

Hello Naznet world!

From today's Moravian Text Reading -

Psalm 110 Lamentations 3:16-66; Hebrews 9:1-10

Remember me, O Lord, with the favor you have toward your people. Oh,
visit me with your salvation. Psalm 106:4 (NKJV)

My God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in
glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Christ Jesus, our Shepherd and Savior, give us water when we thirst,
food when we hunger, and life when we face death. Thanks be to you for
satisfying our needs. Amen.

Silly boy :smilies1722:

In other news, according to the weatherman, 1" of rain = 10" of snow. Since we've had 17" of rain so far this month that would equal 170" of snow or over 14 FEET of snow in one month's time. Unimaginable, even for this snow lover!

[Marg Shurtliff]

Off to watch the Wheel and Jeopardy before I go to bed . Have a good Wednesday .
