Luke? Who's Luke? When are we gettin' the record?

We read Luke 21:19 at the Bible study tonight.

    I just commented when you made an entry change and I was thrown out to Pleo's front page. Interesting!

    This just goes to show you, there is plenty of slight of hand going on. The wording of this section, has already been changed since 10:30 AM today. The present wording was NOT there. Thanks for the heads-up.

  • diannes
    When I get a few minutes, I will check up on several other sections. I wonder if the wording will 'slightly' change, from original wording.

    I love that movie. It was quite similar to my life in a band... our bass player left to join the military right before a big gig without telling us.

Just so you know:

Just so you know 1: This method will not result in a copy of your hard drive.


(Actually, he was copying the labels to be able to file the serial numbers, but it was funny anyway.)


Just so you know 2: Even though your grass may not be completely green yet, there's a chance that you need to mow.


(This house is across the street from mine, but they're not the only guilty ones. For some reason, many, many people have decided that, this year, this look is acceptable.)
  • joc
    That first one is very funny. I hope it stops raining so we can do something about our yard very soon. What a mess!

    Wow that is one big clump of weeds.

    Yeah, there's a lot of "that look" around here too. Still no grass though.

  • rebekah1
    oh man, that first one is about my speed. too funny!

    you ought to come out here some time. then you could write about the stupid things you and your family end up doing on any given day.

    I hate to admit it - but our yard looked like that until this past weekend. And we live on a grass farm, no less!

    great post :)

    also, penijeans are notoriously idiotic when it comes to establishing and maintaining a regular schedule for the purpose of healthiness...it's one of our defining characteristics....

    The leaves, which didn't get raked this year, killed most of my grass. Uuugly!

  • MrKogi
    you didn't know that copying hard drives was that easy. the only problem, he is trying to copy 2 drives at once, not going to work. :)

  • kailua
    Ouch! I still have snowbanks. Does that count?

    I just got a quote saying Carmichael in Our Daily Bread. A book to help with reading the bible daily. So I'm gonna say no, not Hoagy.

I think that I should be offended.

Scooter Store Advertisement Envelope
Dear Alan LaRue,

We've seen it time after time.

People who are reluctant to use any mobility assistance because they think they will become dependent on it.

What they don't realize is that a power chair or scooter can make them much more independent that they ever dreamed... able to lead a more active, satisfying life and do more things for themselves.

That's why we've enclosed your FREE Personal Mobility Assessment — so you can see for yourself just what a difference a power chair or scooter can make.
  • ceoltoir
    No, don't be offended. At least they acknowledge you're still alive. I've gotten burial and estate planning info. lately. That's a real bummer!

  • maucknot
    I've got several I can go with --- "100 Times As Much," "Mercy On My House" or "Praising God" (did that one at DP as a game-time decision without notes due to Powerpoint malfunction). But yes, "Neat But Negative" is always ready to go now as well. I also like Kris' recent sermon idea on 1 Corinthians 12-14. My version of that idea is "pocket ready!" It's nice to have some you know so well that little preparation is required.

    Hey perhaps you can get one with a side car for J to ride along. You know, so you'll have company.

    I worry about those old people driving their Hoverround Scooter over the edge of the Grand Canyon. If you get one, please be careful.
    by turner120995 at 03/12/10 8:32AM
  • tgatzajr
    Is the scooter made by Toyota??
    by tgatzajr at 03/12/10 8:45AM
  • kailua
    ^Yeah, we'd hate to have yer gas pedal stick!

    I am also curious if the advertisement agency for the Scooter Store is the same one for Life Line?

    The 'Free Personal Mobility Accessment' kinda rings a bell with 'Help! I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up'.

    Don't think I'm going to catch you unless something really strange happens...like you started doing a Benjamin Button (not that I saw that one, but it would be a curious case).

Time doesn't waste time.

Time seems to be in a hurry. One year already?

Happy anniversary Jesse and Amber! Also, Amber and Jesse :-) (Does the order matter?)

  • jenkegley
    I've noticed that people tend to say couple's names by order of how many syllables, like Scott and Jenny, Kris and Sommer, Bill and Elaine, etc. Weird observation, I know.
    by jenkegley at 03/07/10 12:29PM
  • kailua
    They say time is money. Does that mean if one wastes time that same one has also wasted money?
    by kailua at 03/07/10 2:55PM
  • carolattheriver
    All the names Jen said are male first, also. Is it the syllables or the gender? Hmm...
    by carolattheriver at 03/07/10 7:31PM
  • joc
    Thanks. Those bugs are the Asian version of lady bugs. There are out in large numbers in the Centerville area. They are called Asian Beetles
    and they do the same job American Lady Bugs do. They look just a little different.

Getting the mail

We have community boxes in our neighborhood. (I'm not sure if that's the correct term.) Near every few corners, there's a set of mailboxes, one of which is yours. There are also some parcel boxes. When I get home from work I usually stop by the mailbox before making the final corner towards my house, and pick up the mail. When I walk up to the box, if I notice that there's no key in one of the parcel boxes, I always hope that means there's something in there for me! I've always liked getting mail.

Well, today there was something in the parcel box for us.


Gifts from Hawai'i! Noreen and her husband, Ed, sent us a package containing a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts, a package of Royal Kona Coffee, and a nice 2010 calendar with Hawai'ian sunrises and sunsets.

This all from a friend I've never met :-)

Thanks, Noreen!

    You are most welcome my friend. (blushing)

    We were sorry to have missed your telephone call. That was so nice of you!

    We brought dinner and dessert over to my Mum and Pop's house and it was too late to return your call by the time we got it.

    The coffee may be more robust than you are used to? I love it!

    Enjoy!
