We had a lovely day here in Guelph too.  Certainly not as warm as Janet had...but for Guelph, a temp of 65 deg. hit a record for today.

Papa John:  I know you will have a wonderful time in Florida...please do a few laps in the pool for me, okay?

are you driving down yourself?  How long a drive would that be.

Once again, Sonja., my deepest sympathy to Mike and the family on the passing of his brother, Mark.

Papajohn I pray that you will remain safe, and that no floods will come near your  dwelling.

Janet how is Darrell feeling. I hope he will be well for your trip to texas in a few days. I like what you said on SN about the film not being anti semetic in any way.
Pat you haven't been around much, have you heard anything from Brother Iain.? How is he?
Chris have you called Iain lately?

Margit I got my Buckwheat pillow today and will be sleeping on it tonight.  I will let you know how I like it.

Jane Are  you still feeling that overwhelmed feeling( subdued?). I just can't get over that feeling, even to talk about the film brings tears to my eyes. One lady at church on Wednesday said that all she saw in the film was an actor and wasn't able to relate the suffering to Jesus. Well I guess every one is entitled to their own opinion but that was a shock to me to hear that from a Christian.

Etta Sue I pray for you to have a blessed weekend at the retreat. Our church had one this week. I didn't realize the expense involved in going to a retreat. It must be nice to be able to afford to go to one.

Yes ...  

Marilyn - I hope you like the buckwheat pillow better than I did. I found it too heavy, I couldn't even lift the thing....so I sent it back!

I'll be interested to see how you liked it., then again,,, I had bad arthritis, so no wonder I didn't like it. You will probably be okay with it.

Heather:  Sorry.. but I cut the telemarketers off short., as I'm not interested either.  I wish we had a "do not call " list like Janet is talking about.

Norm lets them run the speel....then tells them he isn't interested....then again, he is more patient than I am....lol

Janet...........

QuoteThe extra mile.......

Love it.  I've got a real problem though.  You see, I work part time at a golf course.  I guess I'll just have to carry my clubs on that walk


Sonja..........

So sorry for Mike and the rest of the family.  Is this a family gene desease?   Personally, I recommend you get MIke to a Cardiologist for a professional work-up.  Not your family doctor, a cardiologist.  Take it from a heart patient, it's important and will set to rest some secrete thougths you folks may be having.

Heather..........

It's really tough to want a shoulder or two and you can't find one.  Take heart, the world slams it's doors on Christians also.  What do we do?  Just exactly what we've been taught to believe and do.  MOst of us know exactly what it means to be alone in a crowd.

A long tiring week is over.  Two days of relaxation to look forward to.    

Judy Mc-----I was talking about the temperature of the water in the swimming pool, not the outdoor temp!   But we did have a nice day, I think in the lower 60s.

Thanks for asking, Marilyn.  Darrel is still feeling pretty rough.  He just had a nice bowl of chicken noodle soup.  I surely hope he feels better tomorrow.

I borrowed three books from a friend today, to read next week, besides checking out three from the library.  Some of them are:  The Faith of George W. Bush; I Am a Soldier, Too (Jessica Lynch's story) and "Let's Roll!" by Lisa Beamer (about the guys who prevented the plane from hitting the White house or wherever.)  I also got "When The Shofar Blew" by Francine Rivers.  So I have lots of good reading to keep me occupied while waiting, waiting, waiting.........

Hey everyone! how are you all doing tonight? I am doing goodI just got signed into oldies site and it is really fun.

Hey pat can you make it where we all can change the color of the site like he has it, or do you have that setting?

Heather, sorry but I don't let telemarketers talk on and on.  There have been times when I've listened to the whole spiel and then said I wasn't interested and found they wouldn't take "no" for an answer so I had to hang up while they were talking.  A couple of times after I've said, that I wasn't interested, or couldn't afford whatever was being offered, when they kept insisting I said, "Well....  do you accept food stamps?"    We're on the do-not-call list now and get very few calls any more.

Then there are the solicitations from the fire and police organizations.  Sometimes these are legitimate and sometimes they're a scam.  We ask all of them, to send us literature that we can look over and then we'll make a decision.  Nine times out of ten we don't get anything.

I am othe Do Not call list. I still get the calls from the phone company trying to get me to upgrade my service. But that is ok.

When I used to get telemarketer calls. I would listen for awhile and then tell them  am sorry I don't want to get your hopes up but I am really not interested but while I have you on the phone may I pray for you.

Great, Marilyn!  But don't leave us hanging----tell us "the rest of the story!"  How did they respond?

Hello!  I'm still around, just really busy.

Everybody have a great day, okay!

Evening folks. I have just been in and out of here all day.  Didn't really have much to say.

I am heading to bed now.
Talk with you all tomorrow.

Thanks for all the prayers.

Hi Folks. arrived safe and sound at Pats from North Bay. This is about a 41/2 hour drive. I have to teach a Hazmzt course tomorrow at Kitcher On which is about a 1/2 hours drive from Pats and will return home tomorrw afternoon. This is one of my short courses as it is only 4 hours in length. It rained the first half of the trip but it is quite nice down here.

Got pricked at the med lab today. It's one of those over 50 things. The Doctors like to pick on you as you get older. They call it looking after you but I have some difficulty justifying being poked and pricked as looking after you but I guess thats just my weird way.

Pat and I have had a nice visit talking about some off the ares she has travelled and comparing some notes. It's nice to go over some of the routes with someone who knows where you were and were going. What one doesn't remember the other does.

You know it is amazing how beautiful a continent we live on and I would encourage everone to try and explore as much of it as you can. It really does leave you in awe sometimes just how beautifully the Lord has put it all together. He is trully the great landscaper that no man could ever match.

As for my part of the telemarketer scene. Thats one job I don't think I would ever attempt. I have no patience for somthing like that. Tied cold calling in Life Insurance for a while but went back to transportation. Everytime I try a different field of work I always end up back in transportation. Guess you might say thats my nitch in life. As the saying goes. Its a tough job but someone has to do it.

Well I guess I'll go for now. Remember everyone keep looking up. God Bless Bonesy

I've had a nice visit with John.  He got here before 9 pm and we've had coffee and raising bread and more coffee and now we're going to have another cup of coffee!

Have a great day tomorrow.
