Your coffee is at Starbucks (Farbucks if you live in Far, Far Away).

I've a Diet Dr. Thunder in the fridge....

I used to be suspicious of Starbucks.

OM loves Starbucks, and works a 2nd job there now.

Now I'm real suspicious of Starbucks.

Kimmy, Sorry we can't check out the photo. It asks us for your password.

This whole thread is just a glitch in the Matrix, right?

Red pill or blue pill? Mmmmm...

Hi Liny...yah, I'm feeling some better everyday...thanks for askin...Dr. says I can go back to work after 4 wks - that'll be next Wed, as good graces would have it, that's the day before Thanksgiving, aka Turkey-day, so, I'll get an extra 4 days to laze around the house - GREAT if you're a millionaire, and/or don't have bills, but STINKS if you've got a 2 income family...my job is only part time, and it's really the end of the month and "play" money - but with Christmas only 35 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> days away, it's kindof a bummer to loose the extra income...oh well, God has provided before, I/we are trusting He'll meet our needs again...and, so far He's doing that, so why am I complaining? Well, I wasn't really, but I'm an idiot, so well...I'm an idiot! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Low - Hehehe - you know, I just can't get into that movie enough to figure out what's with the little pills, but I think we really prefer M&M's here! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Where'd everybuddy go??

Neither, Low-O (I like saying your name that way...)

Always go for the pink one.

Pink is my signature color.

(said very Southern: Pink is mah sinaturah collah.)

Spoke to dwh this morning about our newly seperated checking accounts (that I only found out about because his direct deposit wasn't going to show up and he fessed to me). Remind me to never have a battle of the wits with an unarmed person. I think the mothership has fully terminated whatever was left of anything that he was. I was kinda hoping that if there was anything left it'd regenerate....doubtful now, huh?

What is this thing hope? It must be the pink pill.

Does this link work:

Kimmy - I don't think I've told you, but I am very sorry to hear about the current situation - my prayers are still that the fog he's in will lift, and you'll find that love again. <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> {{{Kimmy}}}

As for the link, no, it still asks for signin and password...

YL - CHRISTMAS???? You're thinking of Christmas when my birthday is next up???????

I'm so glad you're feeling better. Love to you and the young uns!

Sheesh. I can't send anything today. Why won't the link work...it worked before.

I'm sorry De!! When is your b-day? and, isn't KY's soon, too - she told me, but I lost most of my e-mails when we switched internet providers...isn't hers in Dec??

PS - NO I wasn't thinking about Christmas - can barely get through turkey day...somebody just announced it on t.v. - "Only 35 days left - you better get your shopping done" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> like we have time to think about it with all the mess that's going on... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Yup - a superhero in training, for sure!!!

AWESOME, and what a CUTIE!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I didn't know Jel was a Sag, no wonder I like her. I'll bet her b-day is before mine, then, because I was born on the cusp....not that I believe that stuff....(hehe)

YL - how did you keep the faith? (speaking of believing) I barely have hope anymore...faith is a glimmer at the end of a tunnel that I don't know I want to traverse anymore. <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

Hehehe....DondundunDUN!!!!
It's Son of De!!!!
Where's batman? Were you batgirl? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Where's believer....spidey...our bartender fraggles closed the bar down on opening night!

Well, have a great weekend everyone if I don't "see" you!

Hang in there de.

Good to hear you're doing OK, YL. You're right--leave it in His hands! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

(psst: even if he DOES look like God just took his dad and miniaturized him....I was THERE at the birth, so I know he's mine)

C'mon LINY...if you're a guy or you've got kids you KNOW Marvel has made a spin off of Batman, and Robin is the key figure of a TV show called Teen Titans.

Personally, I like it okay...it's a little too Animai for me....if I want Aniamai, I'll watch Sailor Moon....now, that's true Japanese tooning.

Honestly, it's not always easy, and I confess the triggers are really hitting hard right now - once again, I'm at home, can't do anything, and can't SF for at least another 2-3 weeks...every voice, every female is another trigger right now. Sometimes the faith just has to be blind...it's like I don't know if H has really "earned" back my trust, but at this point I know I must trust him, or our M will never work. I thank God I was not in your shoes...I don't know what I would've done, and I don't know that I would have handled it as well as you have. In my case, the OW went away when H was forced out of his job. He was so embarrassed and mad at himself, and afraid of loosing his family, that he "hid" from us (that's what I call his 2.5 yr trip to CA) - yah, he was home for about 2-3 days in between trips, and one trip took about 9-14 days, but that's not a family man - and it's really hard to have/build a marriage. So there really wasn't time for him to "prove" to me that he wanted me only - suddenly, he had not only days free, but nights too - 9-14 of them that I could call him, but could in no way account for his time nor verify how he was really spending it. And, I found things in the truck, hidden behind clothes, or even in the pantry, that made me wonder if there were others...he had certain places he'd stop to eat and fuel, and anytime I went with him to one particular place, I always felt like I was getting the cold shoulder from one of the waitresses...he would make a point to tell her "this is my wife" or "you remember my wife, don't you" but she'd act really funny...still makes me ill to think about it.

UGH - really didn't want to go there today, so I'll shorten it and get to the point - the faith, as I said, I've reached the point it has to be just blind faith. Total trust that God knows my future, and that He is in control. That no matter what comes my way, it is NOT taking Him by surprise - He knows everytime the devil wants to harm us, and if He didn't allow it, it would never happen. I have more faith and trust in God, than in my H, just because I believe that if this M is going to work, then He will have to be the center of it, and if for some reason it doesn't, then I will still have Him - He will never leave me nor forsake me...He causes the sun to come up every morning, and the moon and stars to shine at night...surely He can handle my marriage too.

Where do I get my faith in God? It comes from a real, live, personal experience - not anything that someone else can't have - it's not exclusive to me - but, well, it's rather hard to explain...Some of my favorite places to read, Proverbs - there are 31 chapters, makes it easy to read the book once a month...also, Psalms (too many chapters for once a month, but lots of comfort there - after all, the Bible says David was a man after God's own heart - if He loved David that much, and David was an adulterer, and a murderer, and God STILL loved him, then there's hope for me yet...plus, the book of Psalms chronicles many of Davids thoughts and his plight when Saul was after him and tried to kill him) I also like to read about Job...how much he lost - then regained, but mostly because it reminds me that nothing gets past God - most people don't "see" it, but read it, it's there - satan had to go to God to get permission to "touch" Job - to start with, God said you can take anything but don't touch him, and when Job still praised God even after loosing home, children, wife, and all his possesions, God "allowed" satan to touch Job, but still he was not allowed to take Job's life...God was in control the whole time - WHY did he allow all that to happen? Maybe to show "us" that you CAN praise God through all things; maybe to show us that God will see us through all things; and maybe not - maybe it was to show the devil that he is not in control and God is. I don't really know why bad things happen to good people...I just know that nothing takes God by surprise, and no matter what choices we make, with our faith and trust in Him, He will see us through to the end.

So, I guess that's where my faith in my H comes from - from the idea that God knows my future, He has it all in His hands, and if I'll stay out of the way long enough, He will work it all out.

I don't know what's in store for you, but I do believe that the "footsteps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord" and that "all things work together for good for them that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose"...my heart goes out to you hon - my prayers are always with you!

Sorry that was so long <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> unfortunately, I can't say anything without my emotions being there - I use to have write letters to my subordinates and outside clients 6 or 7 times before I could take it all out, but well, when it comes to my faith, I'm not sure I want it out - I want others to know they can trust in God too...anyway, just wanted to let you know I've got to get 3yo down for nap - I'll try to get back in a little later and chat... {{{Kimmy}}}
