A sorrowful complaint of great afflictions. (1-11) Encouragement by expecting the performances of God's promises to his church. (12-22) The unchangeableness of God. (23-28)
Verses 1-11 The whole word of God is of use to direct us in prayer; but here, is often elsewhere, the Holy Ghost has put words into our mouths. Here is a prayer put into the hands of the afflicted; let them present it to God. Even good men may be almost overwhelmed with afflictions. It is our duty and interest to pray; and it is comfort to an afflicted spirit to unburden itself, by a humble representation of its griefs. We must say, Blessed be the name of the Lord, who both gives and takes away. The psalmist looked upon himself as a dying man; My days are like a shadow.
Verses 12-22 We are dying creatures, but God is an everlasting God, the protector of his church; we may be confident that it will not be neglected. When we consider our own vileness, our darkness and deadness, and the manifold defects in our prayers, we have cause to fear that they will not be received in heaven; but we are here assured of the contrary, for we have an Advocate with the Father, and are under grace, not under the law. Redemption is the subject of praise in the Christian church; and that great work is described by the temporal deliverance and restoration of Israel. Look down upon us, Lord Jesus; and bring us into the glorious liberty of thy children, that we may bless and praise thy name.
Verses 23-28 Bodily distempers soon weaken our strength, then what can we expect but that our months should be cut off in the midst; and what should we do but provide accordingly? We must own God's hand in it; and must reconcile this to his love, for often those that have used their strength well, have it weakened; and those who, as we think, can very ill be spared, have their days shortened. It is very comfortable, in reference to all the changes and dangers of the church, to remember that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever. And in reference to the death of our bodies, and the removal of friends, to remember that God is an everlasting God. Do not let us overlook the assurance this psalm contains of a happy end to all the believer's trials. Though all things are changing, dying, perishing, like a vesture folding up and hastening to decay, yet Jesus lives, and thus all is secure, for he hath said, Because I live ye shall live also.
Psalms 102:1-28 . A Prayer of the afflicted, &c.--The general terms seem to denote the propriety of regarding the Psalm as suitably expressive of the anxieties of any one of David's descendants, piously concerned for the welfare of the Church. It was probably David's composition, and, though specially suggested by some peculiar trials, descriptive of future times. overwhelmed--(compare Psalms 61:2 ). poureth out--pouring out the soul--( Psalms 62:8 ). complaint--( Psalms 55:2 ). The tone of complaint predominates, though in view of God's promises and abiding faithfulness, it is sometimes exchanged for that of confidence and hope.
1-3. The terms used occur in Psalms 4:1 , Psalms 17:1 Psalms 17:6 , 18:6 , Psalms 31:2 Psalms 31:10 , 37:20 .
4. (Compare Psalms 121:6 ).
so that I forget--or, "have forgotten," that is, in my distress ( Psalms 107:18 ), and hence strength fails.
5. voice . . . groaning--effect put for cause, my agony emaciates me.
6, 7. The figures express extreme loneliness.
8. sworn against me--or literally, "by me," wishing others as miserable as I am ( Numbers 5:21 ).
9. ashes--a figure of grief, my bread; weeping or tears, my drink ( Psalms 80:5 ).
10. lifted . . . cast me down--or, "cast me away" as stubble by a whirlwind ( Isaiah 64:6 ).
11. shadow . . . declineth--soon to vanish in the darkness of night.
12. Contrast with man's frailty (compare Psalms 90:1-7 ).
thy remembrance--that by which Thou art remembered, Thy promise.
13, 14. Hence it is here adduced.
for--or, "when."
the set time, &c.--the time promised, the indication of which is the interest felt for Zion by the people of God.
15-17. God's favor to the Church will affect her persecutors with fear.
16. When the Lord shall build--or better, "Because the Lord hath built," &c., as a reason for the effect on others; for in thus acting and hearing the humble, He is most glorious.
18. people . . . created--(compare Psalms 22:31 ), an organized body, as a Church.
19-22. For--or, "That," as introducing the statement of God's condescension. A summary of what shall be written.
to loose . . . appointed--or, "deliver" them ( Psalms 79:11 ).
21. To declare, &c.--or, that God's name may be celebrated in the assemblies of His Church, gathered from all nations ( Zechariah 8:20-23 ), and devoted to His service.
23-28. The writer, speaking for the Church, finds encouragement in the midst of all his distresses. God's eternal existence is a pledge of faithfulness to His promises.
in the way--of providence.
weakened--literally, "afflicted," and made fearful of a premature end, a figure of the apprehensions of the Church, lest God might not perform His promise, drawn from those of a person in view of the dangers of early death (compare Psalms 89:47 ). Paul ( Hebrews 1:10 ) quotes Psalms 102:26-28 as addressed to Christ in His divine nature. The scope of the Psalm, as already seen, so far from opposing, favors this view, especially by the sentiments of Psalms 102:12-15 (compare Isaiah 60:1 ). The association of the Messiah with a day of future glory to the Church was very intimate in the minds of Old Testament writers; and with correct views of His nature it is very consistent that He should be addressed as the Lord and Head of His Church, who would bring about that glorious future on which they ever dwelt with fond delightful anticipations.

A stunning 3-in-1 deluxe edition of one of the great works of Western literature
An epic masterpiece and a foundational work of the Western canon, The Divine Comedy describes Dante's descent into Hell with Virgil as his guide; his ascent of Mount Purgatory and reunion with his dead love, Beatrice; and, finally, his arrival in Heaven. Examining questions of faith, desire, and enlightenment and furnished with semiautobiographical details, Dante's poem is a brilliantly nuanced and moving allegory of human redemption. This acclaimed blank verse translation is published here for the first time in a one-volume edition.
"The perfect balance of tightness and colloquialism . . . Likely to be the best modern version of Dante."
– Bernard O'Donoghue"Kirkpatrick brings a more nuanced sense of the Italian and a more mediated appreciation of the poem's construction than nearly all of his competitors."
– The Times (London)"We gain much from Kirkpatrick's fidelity to syntax and nuance. . . . His introduction . . . tells you, very readable indeed, pretty much all you need for a heightened appreciation of the work."
– The Guardian (London)Series

I absolutely love this duo: Zenit and lomogrpahy x-pro slide 2OO film! Especially for the forest photos, which have just the right fall mood. Those ones from city are all taken on Main square in Bratislava, which I took because I needed them for a project in university (architecture) I was happy I could be original and use my own and analog photos! :)) I think I am going to do xpro with this camera, because this is the first time I put here absolutely all photos on the roll
Taken by livi with a Zenit 11 (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Lomography X-Pro Slide 200 (35mm) film (available in our Online Shop) in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Good morning ladies,
Welcome to August. Time to ask yourself how July went and set your goals for another month. Hard to believe fall is just around the corner. What are you going to do to get Fit for Fall?
Well, I need to watch my eating better. I've been letting too many things slide by. My knees are sore again and I know it's my own fault for eating things that don't agree with me. I also need to get back into my early morning yard work. I've have been getting a later start. Seems like we either have rain, heavy dew or fog and it's always wet out in the mornings this summer. Not to mention, I've gotten lazy recently, I tend to wear out by the end of summer. My goals for August are to get up and get moving earlier, drink more water, and to adhere better to the elimination diet.
Off to the shower. We still need to run our errands for the week and stop by the farmer's market for a few things. Hoping to get back in time to either mow or trim some shrubbery this afternoon unless we decide to head north to Lowes to get ceiling tile for the sunroom. The problem is we may not have time to get it done before family returns and I don't need the tiles sitting around. ( I have materials for other undone projects laying around.) Monday is shot, we have dentist appointments and DH has a meeting so we won't get it done then. That leaves us Tuesday to get it done. Family will be back Wednesday or Thursday. I am willing to bet the whole project gets shelved until another time. Too many projects in the works. DH says he doesn't even have time to read the paper anymore, I keep adding more and more work to get done. Not his idea of retirement. We tried to take a break yesterday afternoon. I drove him batty saying I was bored and I needed something to do so I could stay awake. If I stop moving, I am done for. All energy is gone and I am asleep in no time. It is a good thing I have some quilting projects lined up for this winter so I don't sleep through it.
Talked too long. Now, I really need to get moving. See ya.
Thanks for opening Di, I just lost my post (my fault) so will be back later .
Morning ladies. I was woken up to the sound of thunder, and flashes of lighting around 5:30 this morning. Charger was in the shower. Poor boy. He definitely doesn't like thunder. It stopped about 7. I guess the lighting part has been going on since around 2 am. That is when it woke Cody up.
Thankfully I didn't get that wake up call. I slept right through most of it. But I don't think we will be going to the park today. Charger is too on edge from it, and I know he didn't sleep well last night. So he won't be on his best behavior today. So I will pay bills and update the checkbook and go to the store for this weekend. We are going to an outlaw track with our friends from Seattle. He needs to test his bike, and since most of the tracks around here are closed because of the national event, we are going to the outlaw track, We are going to test the back up bike as we are doing some stuff to that.
Well I better run.
Well I am back . See If I can remember what I post this am .
July was ok for me . Didn't lose and didn't gain so that is a plus.
August I am doing a DVD that My DIL got me when she was working at this factory that Shrink wraps DVDs . It is called 21 day fix. It comes with a food plan but I am not doing that . The exercises are killers for sure . At least they are for me. That is about all I have planned for August. I am in the mood to just take one day at a time. I've been trying difference things for a long time and I am getting to the place where I just want to hang it up. Maybe tomorrow I will feel differently.
Anyway We finished our errands and now I have a roast in the crockpot to have this evening if it gets done in time . If not we will find something. BLTs without the L for lunch.
Nothing else going on . Waiting for a call from the people that are going to do our Windows . Want to get that done before pressure washing (I guess) at least that is what DH says.
Angii, sorry about Charger . They are certainly like children . I know Birdie talks about a Thunder jacket for her fur babies. Enjoy you week or week end away .
Di , you should be very proud of yourself . YOU LOSS 23 pounds . Give yourself a pat on the back and keep going. It's ok to take a break now and then . Sometimes our bodies need a break .
Well time to start some lunch
Enjoy your day .
Good morning, everyone,
Ha--you can tell I started that awhile ago--it's afternoon already now. Time flies when you are having fun.
I've got DA's mattress trying to dry, and all her bedding on the clothesline, so I hope if it rains, it holds off for a bit anyway. While she was sleeping yesterday, she soaked through the Depends, pajamas, sheet, mattress pad and protector, and mattress. I managed to put a waterproof pad over the wet spot and then get clean sheets on while she was still in bed last evening, but today I had to get her up to dry the mattress. She is not too happy about being in her chair rather than in bed, but she has perked up somewhat.
Oops, I hear thunder starting, so I'd better get out to the clothesline.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Friday~
Hi ladies,
Here's my July report and my plans for August.....
July started off slowly with some days getting walks in and others not and then my doctor appointment fiasco but finally got the go ahead to work out again, so from July 7th on I was a much happier camper. Missed a morning due to no sleep the night before and another due to shopping but got lots of walking in instead. Unfortunately another sleepless night on the 14th so no workouts all day. Shopping on the 23rd so no normal morning workout just a LOT of walking and none for the evening due to exhaustion. Some extra walking in on Thursday the 31st with shopping and also got my evening workout in too, so finish to the month was a lot better than the beginning. Still on track with my chocolate for the month and with the PB, as I had PB for lunch for a number of days and some Sunday breakfasts too. My daily fruit was good along with my Vitamin D for the month.
Weigh ins for the month: My weigh in's are up due to the new medication (lots of bloating), trying to rectify this but just might have to live with it unfortunately.
Start date for August workouts will be August 4th MWF morning workout Weeks 1 & 2 Will do Fitness magazines Superset and MWF evening will do Don't Miss a Muscle; and T-Th WHM's Total body tightening; Weeks 3 & 4 MWF 10 Minute Solution Pilates Perfect Body(using band) with Suzanne Bowen and MWF evening Fitness Mag's Express workout (row your boat, hopscotch, surfer's paddle, tennis swing, paddleboard (this one might change after I try it, we shall see) and T-Th Self's The Turkish get-up
Links to workouts:
Superset workout
Don't Miss A Muscle
Fitness Mag's Express workout
Self Mag The Turkish Get Up -
Food goals: My food goals will remain the same continue to take my vitamin D, and keep up the increase in the fruits and veggies in my diet, and try some different type of veggies. Also continue to try out some different recipes, which has been going very well. Plus continue with the getting in chocolate several times a week (and continue to have peanut butter too). Also going to cut down on the ice cream and try making more fruit based desserts.
Here you go ladies, this will bring back a lot of childhood memories:
Just popping in to say Good Night now. Time flew by at son's and I picked some raspberries but have to pick a lot more after work tomorrow as I didn't look until later and a lot out there. We had a Nurse's aide's DD die in a accident today She was only 19 yrs. old and pulled out into traffic at the wrong time! Dump truck crashed right into her drivers side. Very sad and I don't know why some are in so much of a hurry Her mom is from out here or raised anyway out here and is only 46 yrs. old.
I will just keep trying as I am on the weight and keep trying to talk myself into doing more and watching the meals etc. I guess. Di, you have done great and I know my knees are bothering me to. Keep up the good work!
Bama, you keep exercising so good also so at least that works for you to stay the same. I think this stuff is stubborn as you get older hey?
Sue, you have a lot of good plans and I will have to go over it more slowly this week Hope you have a very good night to.
Mo, hope you get some good sleep and your DA sleeps also and so sorry about the mess to clean also Better go now, so have a very great night all! Yah
Busy day for me. I got the bills paid, and just as I was finishing (after I had to search for an $800 mistake) Cody came home from work. We then ran and got some new to me gears for the dragster, and then we washed out the trailer, and then loaded the busa for this weekend. Then we finally unloaded the dragster and got it in the garage. Now we can get everything put in! We should get the very last part we need for it on Tuesday!
Well I better go and see what else I need to get done.
Good Morning, running late here again, Have a very super good day and hope the weather is great where you are! Very nice here, probably maybe up to 80's but not nice for work Rain likely hold off until tomorrow now. Yah
Have a good day at work YAH. Sorry to hear about your coworker's daughter, so sad. Hope the weather holds out and you can pick more berries after work. I got a great deal on blueberries at the farmer's market. Got 12 boxes for $12. The best anyone else there had was 2/$3. They were 2/$4 last week.
Sorry about the wet bed, Molasses. Hope the rain held off until you got everything dry. We were going to mow but looked at the radar and there were storms headed our way. DH said we should hold off since he didn't want to only get it partially mowed with rain in the forecast the next several day. We waited and waited and just as the storms got to the mountain they moved off to the east. We only had some very light drizzle. So we pretty much wasted the afternoon and will have to mow today as soon as things dry off. It never really dried yesterday so hope it does today. My walk behind mower will cut damp grass, DH's lawn tractor doesn't do well with it.
Thanks for the pats on the back for the 23 pounds but unfortunately it's only 21.6 this morning. Too much sodium and leftovers that family wouldn't eat this week. Hope the pounds go away but I may have blown any chance of reaching -30 by 9/9. With two picnics, going to lunch with DH's friends after the AARP Safe driver class, and family returning it will hard enough as is. Also have our anniversary in there but I am not planning to go out for it since the one picnic is the next day. Everything involves food in this country. No wonder we are a nation of overweight people. Wonder when and how that all changed. My 18 year old GD has been sick again for the past two weeks. She has some GI issues that involve food restrictions in order to feel well. Hard for someone her age not to have, pizza, cheeseburgers, ice cream and such. I told her she needs to rethink how she views food. She needs to think of it as fuel for her body and nothing else. She said she'll try harder if I do the same. She made a lactose free mac and cheese this week that she liked and sent me the recipe. The recipe is lactose free and can also be and gluten free. She wants us to work together on eating what our bodies will tolerate not what we want and shouldn't have. She isn't supposed to have raw fruits and veggies, dairy or eggs. So there will be some things that I can eat that she can't and the some that she can have that I can't. Hopefully working together will help both of us to do better with our eating. Now I need to spend some time coming up with some recipes for her to try. She's a little picky but she's been trying new things this week. She made cream of tomato soup with almond milk yesterday. She said it was okay but her mom told her she is a better woman than she is because she thought it was awful. At least GD is trying new things. I hope she'll continue now that she is feeling a little better.
Well, better go see if I can get an early start on the grass. Since the temp and the dew point are the same, I am not too optimistic.
Have a great day.
Good Morning all,
Lucy is finishing up sheets and Ethel is preparing to work.
I did my Exercise which was called Dirty Thirty which is 30 minutes of weights. I am so sore from this plan but I do feel it is working . We shall see what the scale says. I should have measured but did not .
This week end is tax free so I am going to Penney's and the mall. I still need a pair of slacks. I am trying to get out of capris although I like them but they do cut a short person off and I no longer tan so the reason for the long slacks. I figured maybe I will be lucky and find some things and will be a good deal since no tax . Our tax is 9 which I think is high but maybe not to some areas.
Sue , Thanks for the go back in time video. We had Burger chiefs before McDonalds and I remember taking my kids there when they were little. We also had a Drive in across the street from our house called Beall's and I think it was before Burger Chief . Their big sandwich was called Big Jim as the owners name was Jim. I have a picture of myself eating one when I was 14 . LOL> I loved the dress I had on . I would post it but it is in Ohio. Well check out your workouts later this week end.
Yah, so sorry to hear about friends DD . I saw it on Face book . A terrible accident . Prayers for the Family.
Di, it is doing a little spitting here today also . The guys are driving into Florida for Golf so I hope they get to play. I hope you get your lawn mowed. Soon we won't need to .
Angii don't you just hate it when you have a mistake and then you find it and wonder how you could have overlooked what ever it was.
Mo, so sorry about your Aunt. I know it is hard on you all . You are a better woman than I am I don't know if I could do that .
Barb, hope things are better for you this week. There are just so darn many people now that just do not care about other folks .
I took a silly little test on Face book about honor and I got 97% honorable and the dumb reply was that I could have possibly cheated . Yes there are still honorable people in the world.
Well It is 8 and Penney opens at 9 and they had coupons in the paper for 10.00 off of 25 plus tax free so if I find some slacks it will be a good deal.
Later gators .
Hope you find your pants, Bama. It's always extra fun to find something when it's a bargain! Tax here is 7%, but there's no tax on clothes, so that's nice. I guess AL has to make up for the cheaper property taxes somehow. I think MN is the same--lower property taxes but higher sales tax. You are doing great with that workout program--I think it's key to mix things up the way you've been doing.
I'm sorry to hear your GD hasn't been feeling well, Dianna. That's got to be tough, especially at her age. I hope your partnership helps you both out. Try not to stress about the scale too much--I'll bet your dr will be pleased with even a loss of 20 pounds. That's not easy, and you should feel good about it. (I'll still be cheering for you to hit your goal though, and maybe with your GD's help you can come up with some recipes for the get-togethers that won't set you back.)
Hope you get a bunch of raspberries, YAH, and get to see your son, too. That's so sad about the accident. Young drivers don't seem to realize the consequences that can come with one mistake behind the wheel. DH said yesterday he saw a guy driving with a cigarette in one hand, texting on his phone with the other hand. I am forever telling my kids horror stories about texting drivers, but I suspect it goes in one ear and out the other; maybe not though, so I keep trying.
Sounds like a good day for you, Angii!
Thanks for the McDonald's video, Sue--it did bring back memories for both DH and me. Ah, the Turkish Get-up; I saw that in Self and ripped out the page. I think it was one of the Jillian Michaels's DVDs I had from the library that had that. It's a bit of a challenge just to coordinate, but as Self says, hits a lot of muscles, so I thought I'd give it a try again, too. So we'll be workout buddies with that one in August. I'll have to check out your other links later. Great job on July, all things considered!
Hi, Barb, hope you are busy with fun stuff!
I am finding dealing with DA kind of frustrating. It took me more than 20 min. to get her out of bed this morning because she didn't want to try to stand up. And then another 20 to get her out of the shower. (Which was another frustration, because once in the shower, she wouldn't stand up so I could wash her bottom, so she got out almost as stinky as she got in.) "I can't, I'll fall." If she tried and actually couldn't, I'd feel sorry for her. As it is, I just get annoyed because once she tries, she doesn't seem to have any real problem, it's just in her head. I can understand she's afraid of falling now because she fell hard the other day, but when she fell, it was because she got some wild hair while I was working out and decided she was going to walk to her parents, not because I was trying to get her to the bathroom. But trying to reason with dementia is like trying to reason with a bowl of cornflakes, so I just have to try to find work-arounds. I hope this stage passes soon!
I think I need some garden time this afternoon, restore my Zen! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend~
Back later...
Afternoon all, That is a beautiful picture Sue. So relaxing to me .
Well we just got home from friends . Big birthday party going on with pool games , Wet and Slide , Volley ball. Lots of people and lots of fun but I was ready to get out of there.
No Mo, I did not find any Slacks . I ended getting my DH some shorts(nows the time to buy them) and GS a Beatles T shirt. That's all . Oh I did go to Bath and body works had a 10.00 coupon for them so I got some Christmas Gifts for my Gdaughters. Some of that workout is hard . I like that it is only 30 minutes and of course those burpees are killers. Tomorrow is Yoga . So looking forward to that. Yes it is good to change up. I get stuck in the same routine and I hope to continue to change things up.
Nothing else going on here . We are looking for something to eat since I didn't plan anything today .
Nice to get back in the cool house.
Have a nice evening all.
We got our grass mowed and the big chestnut branch that came down in the storm cut and moved yesterday. We were hoping the tree trimmer would do it but since it's been some weeks since we've heard from him, DH ended up doing. Got a pot of lentil soup made and a big bag of salad veggies cut up for lunches this week. So, that's one step closer to staying on my diet. My scale is back down a pound this morning. Now if I can keep it going that direction. I didn't see the movie I wanted to watch last night, fell asleep before it started again. I'll check to see if it's on again today sometime. Missed some of Cedar Cove too (asleep). You'd think it was winter the way I have been conking out recently. I can't stay awake much past 9 in the winter. I've fallen asleep and missed two of my 9:00 shows over the past three days.
Nothing else doing here and it's time to hit the shower and get around for church.
Have a great day and take some me time.
Just wanted to say Good Morning to all and have a beautiful ME day and relax also!
It is great outside, almost 70 already but rain expected for afternoon so I Should be outside somewhere but going to get my patch soon so that will be until after noon. I see some cloudiness in the distance. Hot day at work as our big upper fan on side was not working they ordered another but sounds like it might not be there for Tues. even. Glad no call in today. Got home at 9 pm as i went son's and we went to look at a pop up camper but with the collapsible steel sides on it. Well after a few hrs. over there and talking a lot as this was the worker from kitchen and her bf, and is he a talked and only a few yrs. younger than me, well, son did buy it and then they showed how to pop it down and took a bit to get on son's jeep hitch thing So he's got it home anyway and not bad for $500 as they could have got a lot more by putting it up for sale in paper etc. i'm sure. He wants to grease parts etc. and has to have the 2 tires changed but they had 2 new ones also. She had cancer quite a bit a few yrs. ago, then lost her dad, her son was shot and died, and then not to long ago, her mom who was our neighbor a bit down the street died also. She is selling her house also but lives in work town at least So, very glad no work today
Have a wonderful ME day and bbl, Yah
Not much going on around here. Our friends have out of town guests and we've been a bit down because of the work thing. We did have fun last night. A canoeing friend is a singer/songwriter in Nashville and he was in town and we had the 3rd annual garage concert at a friend's farm. Always great music and fun times. Not sure what the rest of the month will bring. I think it will be a little quieter for us since our friends have other plans.
We are still waiting for our driveway work to be done. I think it's time for DH to call again. Who knows when our tree trimmer will be here for the hedge. Sometime in September, I hope!
So sorry about the latest phase you're dealing with, Molasses. It's so frustrating when you just can't reason with them. (((HUGS)))
Kind of a gloomy, hazy day around here. No rain in the forecast, but it's been hazy from all the forest fires up in Canada. I guess I'll have to start watering the gardens.
Hope you all have a great day!
Good Morning Ladies,
I posted earlier but when I went to send no reply button. Oh well that is nothing new for this site.
Di, Glad you got your yard work finished. I know you have a lot to do but me thinks you thrive on it. You seem to be very restless when your hands are idle. LOL. My friend in Ohio is like that . She likes to be busy all the time but she bakes . Always trying new recipes .
Yah, Sounds like a good deal on the pop up camper for your son but some sadness in your work friends life. My friend Marie talks all the time seriously you cannot get a word in edgewise and then my friend Lou in Ohio is the same way and DH and I were just talking about what would happen if they got together . LOL .
Barb, sounds like you are a little sad this week end . Hope you are feeling better soon. What about the water in Toledo ? No water in the whole town . I know that a lot of near by states are taking water to them. Sometimes we take things for granted .
Morning Sue, Angii and Mo . Hope your day is going well.
Today is my DD and Sil's Anniversary and I forgot . I did wish them a Happy one on Facebook . I am usually the one that sends out all the cards but I have been getting forgetful lately. They have been together 24 years and married 12 . A long time for sure.
Well time to more on and read the paper .
Happy Sunday again. No sun here yet.
Seems like I am forever catching up lately....been a busy lady....
Angii, love the videos of Charger, gosh he is such a beautiful furbaby and love his expressions and playful nature. Had to laugh at the one in the house and looking at you or Cody, whoever was doing the video like "come on, let's play" LOL
Angii, glad you sold your dad's chair. Don't worry about not doing a darn thing Wednesday, I am sure Charger appreciated the park and you have been a very busy lady, so a day of "not doing a darn thing" is just fine. I am with you the tax deduction sounds good.
Thanks for the very kind words on my being back Angii. I really appreciate it and yes I know I can and will when I feel ready. Yes, Buddy is doing better, thanks for asking. And Buddy's sends Charger a big THANK YOU treat of some Snaps (and believe me him sharing his SNAPS means a LOT LOL)
Oh my goodness Molasses, I am so sorry to hear about your DA falling and wanting to get home! My heart goes out to you.
Oh Molasses, amidst all that to send my HUGS let me tell you, I am sending boatloads to you and your family and you are all in my prayers.
YAH glad you got a sauna in on Wednesday. Sorry it cooled off more than you like though. Glad you got to talk to your SIL and hope she is alright. HUGS and prayers for your SIL and also your DB in having to take care of her and the house and all. Thanks for the Buddy wishes.
I am with Angii and Dianna, Molasses, I would take your DA in for a check up.
Thanks Dianna, I hope things get better also.
Oh Dianna, what a wonderful treat to see the buck, fawns and deer. Like yourself I would worry about the buck getting hit also. Had to chuckle over you training them to eat the weeds.
Wow Barb, congrats to your hubby and enjoy your 6 days that are all YOURS. Oh no on the deer in your garden. MMM you lucky lady I loved blueberries and raspberries too.
OMG Bama, 4:30 a.m., never in all my days did I like getting up at that time and in my "younger younger days" I was coming home then sometimes LOL
Again Barb, I am so sorry to hear about the un-hiring very unprofessional!
Thanks for the good shopping vibes, Angii. I am with you on the eye stuff, as my grandmother had glaucoma and so it's hereditary and I worry about it. I had to have cataract surgery due to the mega doses of prednisone. The eye doctor at University told me years back the blurriness would get worse and I would need surgery and it did and so I had to get it done. Was great for many years but now I notice my eyes aren't as good as they were, so an eye doctor appointment will be next and I am thinking I might have to go back to wearing regular glasses again.
I am so sorry for your dad Angii, and like yourself, it's something I worry about as it happened to my grandma too.
Vent away Barb, and I have to say I hope they get what they deserve for such shoddy behavior.
Glad no call in on Thursday, YAH. I don't see a picture for that day, what did you post?
Glad DIL and DS are hooking up and DS will get to see the kids. Oh we had those family reunions in NJ every Summer.
OMG YAH I just love the kitten in the basket...I have to admit I did save it. Glad you had such nice calls and got to recall wonderful memories also.
Dianna, I did up my July report and am ready for August and hoping the weight gain that this new medication regimen I am on gave me, will be gone.
Great goals Dianna, and don't forget all the weight your lost...think of that. Good luck with the projects.
Yikes on the thunder and lightning, Angii and poor Charger. I usually sleep through it, just occasionally wakes me up. More now than in my early years. As my first airplane flight I had there were thunder storms and I slept through the whole thing, my grandmother couldn't believe it. Thank goodness as I hate thunderstorms and especially lightning.
Sounds like a nice weekend, Angii.
Your August plans sound very good, Bama.
Molasses, sorry about DA's bedding. Hope you got to the clothesline before the rain did.
I hate the time flying by thing too, YAH and glad you got yourself a bunch of raspberries and hope you got some more after work today too. Oh YAH my heart goes out to the nurse's aide losing her daughter. My prayers and condolences to her and the family. Yes, me too, YAH I have to watch my videos for my workouts for this week.
Angii, good for you on the bills and oh I hate that searching for the error. GRRR Glad you got the gears for the Dragster and all the other work done too. Easier when it's you and Cody, I am sure. BTW how is your sister doing with all that has happened?
Hope your work day went alright today YAH.
Dianna, wow that is an awesome deal on the blueberries. Sorry you waited all day and could have done the mowing...sorry about the sodium and leftovers, but don't lose hope it might still work out. I would get yourself a cooler and a cold pack and put what you want to eat in it to substitute the other food.
Sorry to hear about your GD, Dianna. Our generation did everything in moderation and watched size portions. Today everything is super sized. So our overweight society doesn't surprise me one bit.
Oh Bama, I just love the name the "Dirty 30" but love weights, miss not being able to use heavier one.
Good luck at Penney's for slacks. Oh Bama, glad you enjoyed the go back video. Yeah we had White Castle's in NYC long before McDonald's or Burger King came along. Plus we had Weston's, who in my father's and my humble opinion had the most delicious French fries in the world LOL In fact my mother would say to both of us when we went into the city together on many Friday's NO FRENCH FRIES ON THE WAY HOME....I AM MAKING ?????(FILL IN THE BLANK) FOR DINNER TONIGHT. LOL
Molasses, glad you and your DH enjoyed the McDonald's video. Yes, I got my Self mag and ripped the page out too. I had gotten it in my email from them and went through watching it and saving the text and all and then realized I had a bunch of mags to read and was happy to find it and ripped it out too. I see we will be workout buddies on that one. Thanks for the nice words on July. My heart goes out to you on your DA and I hope the stage passes soon too for you. Lots of HUGS to all of you.
Bama, glad you enjoyed the picture. Unfortunately I didn't make it back!
Sounds like a nice time with friends and lots of good buys for you and also at BBW too!
Dianna, glad you got the grass mowed and the chestnut branch cut and moved too. Good for you on the cooking for your menu this week. Mine are on the stove now, as I having my hard boiled eggs for lunch this week. I was back down to a weight I was before these pills this a.m., so down 1.5 pounds and not bloated, so I was thrilled with my weekly weigh in.
Dianna, I am not surprised with how busy and stressed you've been that you are conking out!
I love your beautiful pic this a.m. with the Eagle, YAH and we are already in the 70s too, luckily only 95 today but getting lots of humidity and thunder bumpers this afternoon. I'd rather have the 100's and low humidity and no thunder bumpers. Oh no on the fan being down at work and I sure hope the new one gets there soon. Glad no call in today and you got to go to son's too. Great price on the camper. You too, have a wonderful "me day".
HUGS Barb glad you had a fun last night. It sounds wonderful as you know I love music and all kinds. I am sure you will find stuff for you and hubby to do. I mean you are now retired and in your favorite place. Hope the driveway work gets done soon for you. Us too on the day, no sun at all and our AQ's are terrible in the red zone all around. Have a nice Sunday.
Bama, a very Happy Anniversary to DD and SIL today.
Well I am off to breakfast and wish you all a wonderful "me day",
Probably not going to see the Pictured Rocks not to far from Marq. in the pic but I'll try Nice to kayak there as its the only way to see it except from a boat also I guess.
Getting cloudy but sounds as if south of us are getting more storms as usual so far. Maybe tomorrow or tonight some rain I hope. Getting to hot for me!
Love all your pic's also Sue!! Hope your are enjoying your ME day and nice catch up again. I'm no good at that for sure. need to go get my clothes off line and put in dryer for a few minutes to fluff up now. BBL, Yah
Well we were all zonked Thursday night for sure. I made it a Matlock, Jag night so it was a good one. Slept the sleep of the dead and was out before the boys even came in and watched Jeopardy. Friday morning was a busy day as I had the vacuuming to do while the boys were in the man cave, then I walked up to pay the rent and then I did my workout. I was going to make up my fish but opted for our stuffed rigatoni's instead from the freezer as with our temps the last thing I wanted was to put the oven on. We hit a high of 109 on Friday with a AQ in the 160s.
I still had to do up my monthly report and set up my plan for my workouts for August and got that all done. Didn't get to watch my videos though as also had mail and some calls to make too. Didn't get to do any catch up on my boards so hoping to do some Saturday after all my chores or if not will get it done on Sunday, I guess.
I was zonked by nap time, so had a good one of those too. Our dinner was yummy and we still didn't watch the movie from Netflix, as Chuck opted for Magnum and Jag both Bellasario shows! LOL
He was upset as I thought I had bought fudge brownie (he likes that one but I got mocha almond fudge instead) oh well.
Was awake when he and Buddy came in but not for long as I fell asleep while Jeopardy was on, too bad too as it was a great final and first time two contestants won the same amount so they had to have a "run off" question to decide it.
Only a couple of pit stops so that was good. Already HOT when we got up this a.m., we weren't even out of bed and the a/c came on. So I turned it off and opened up and brought the computers up too, since I have to wait so long on Saturday's with taking my bone meds and then waiting 1/2 half for my thyroid and then another 30 minutes before I can eat, drink or take anything else.
So I got my dusting in, the towels all ready and once Chuck finished washing up he brought out the rest. I got the clean ones up in the bathrooms and the kitchen and after breakfast cleaned the bathroom and did the end of the month washes, Buddy was NOT thrilled with getting his blanket washed.LOL
I then washed the kitchen/dining room area floors and the small floor by the front door. While they were drying I did the sliding glass doors. Wow HOT out and the AQ not good at all.
Plus as I was doing the living room window the kids across the street were working on their truck, starting it and opening the hood and all 3 of them (one of them a girl) all looking at it. Then turned it off and tried it again.
After I finished the door and headed for the sliding glass door in the bedroom, I told Chuck about it and said to him it sounds like their carburetor to me. He laughed. I finished the bedroom door and then opened all my snacks for today and took the bag out to the garbage. Since they were still there I walked over and told him to check his carb adjustments and he had his blank look. So I adjusted the carb. He did thank me and said I embarrassed a girl knows more than I do. I chuckled and said well I appreciate the girl moniker rather than "old lady" and since my husband and I raced and restored cars don't be. His mouth dropped and then asked about the racing and restorations. But I had to cut it short as the AQ even with my air was getting to me.
I finally got to my computer about 12:20 p.m. I didn't get my hallway walls done or my doors so will do those next week.
Did get my mail cleared out and answered plus looked at a friend's completed house she built and the inside now all done and furnished. Wow.....awesome, but that's what you can do when you have LOTS of money. It's gigantic and I wouldn't even want to contemplate all that cleaning, but I am sure she will have someone to do it for her as she's in her 70s now! I did leave her a message if she could use some roommates LOL
Well I did put the movie in after dinner to see how the first 20 minutes went and it kept my interest. So we watched it Saturday night and even Chuck said it was good. I found the working of 911 operators very interesting and we both thought she was stupid to go back down once she discovered the girls whereabouts but the movie ending warranted it.
Had enough time for a half hour show so watched one of our favorite pair of gals, Laverne & Shirley.
I was zonked so rolled over and went to sleep. Did wake up numerous times with Buddy chuffing and pits stops so tired and foggy this a.m.
Our Sunday here is very cloudy and low temps but more humidity than normal, but to me fine, of course, Chuck, not so fine.
We had a difference of opinion this a.m., so he's going around with a chip on his shoulder, he says No but I say otherwise. Whatever, as I said to him, it's my opinion and you are NOT going to change it.
Buddy enjoyed his pancake and then he ate his breakfast this morning. In fact, while we did our on line checks, he must have walked into the kitchen to check if it was still here 6 or 7 times.
Plus when I changed the sheets from Lucy to Ethel he was out again and looking at me and I said to him "in a bit" he huffed and went back into the computer room LOL
I am all cherry blossomed up and got my comics done and now off to do some catch up and then watch my workouts for the month and the ones for this week a couple of times to get them down pat. Then will go play some games. But right now I am off to take the pics I took a couple nights ago off my camera.
Tonight is up in the air on what shall be on the CSBM network. Same for our dinner....will be it angel hair or manicotti, decisions, decisions LOL
Hope you had a nice "me day" and the same for this evening,
Sounds familiar minus the kids!
3 times how about 15 for Buddy Max LOL
Whatsa matter kid, don't ya know good music when you hear it.
I am with ya, Drabble!
Hi ladies. We had un at the outlaw track, However, we didn't find the reason that Miles' bike will not shift. Grrrrr,,, so he is to take the motor out of his back up bike and change tires so that he can run at Seattle and Mission with us. Cody made a few passes and figured out the two step clutch on our back up bike. Then we had some adult beverages, and walked down to the river and played in the water. Charger had a blast swimming with Uncle Miles. We were the only ones that were camping their really, so we let Charger have the run of the place. He did great not being on the leash! He so didn't want to come home this morning. We are planning on going back on Sept 14th for their race for the cure.
Well I better go. It is getting close to bed time.

The milestone was reached on the eve of the third anniversary of the first Goodwill Career Center opening in Bridgeport. There are now ten Goodwill Career Centers in Connecticut that have collectively helped over 2,255 people find jobs since September of 2010. "As someone who has participated and watched the career centers grow from early on, I just want to thank everyone, past and present, for giving the GCC team the opportunity to reach out to the ten communities and provide services to upwards of 9,000 people since the genesis of the program," said Jennifer Lynch, program manager for the centers.

The ads seek to achieve that through recipes that offer new uses, are quick and easy and play up the vegetable's fresh and natural qualities. The ads appear in magazines and on top of recipe websites.
"We make sure the messaging is integrated and consistent," consultant Kris Caputo-Hurley said. "Linda will use the phone to search for recipe ideas. So we're making sure the message shows up when people search online for dinner and side ideas."
On the retail side, the board offers recipe cards and information about potato varieties.
"We don't want Linda to stop using one kind of potato, but to add in other kinds," said Don Ladhoff, a retail consultant to the board. "When people buy more varieties, their annual total consumption goes up."
International advancements
The board's co-chairs of international marketing, Ritchey Toevs and Rob Davis, told attendees the greatest consumption growth is projected in Asia and Africa. Table stock potatoes sales are growing in Mexico, and the board also has its sights set on Central and South America.
The board's international marketing group saw several achievements in 2012, international marketing manager Sarah Reece said.
The first shipments of table-stock potatoes entered Vietnam, Panama granted access to Oregon taters, and several sheds and fields were approved for shipments of chip-stock potatoes to Japan, which potentially could open the door for fresh potatoes.
Reece cited retail promos as a driver of international sales.
The board's strategies included 32 retail promotions, which Reece said reached more than 7 million customers and grew international sales of fresh potatoes by more than 200% in 2012.

Kenneth Fareid Waits for the NBA's Call
June 23, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Kenneth Faried, a native of Newark native, will be just around the corner in mid-town Manhattan for Thursday's NBA Draft, where he is expected to be a first round draft pick. "The area I grew up in was pretty bad, so it means so much more," Faried told The Newark Star-Ledger. "I got a cousin and little brother and family who can say, 'Hey, Kenneth made it out. Why can't we?' "…"I grew up around this area," Faried said. "It's my home."
Faried played at tiny Morehead State in the Ohio Valley Conference, because his parents wanted to get him out of the hood and further into his education. And with this renewed ability to focus in the hills of eastern Kentucky, he went on to become the leading career rebounder in college basketball's modern era, eclipsing Tim Duncan's post-1973 record of 1673 career rebounds. But Tim Duncan is a seven-footer who has gone on to an All-Star NBA career. Kenneth is only six foot eight, 225 pounds. That is why Faried evokes so many comparisons to one of the most ferocious, yet undersized, rebounders in NBA history, the mercurial Dennis Rodman. Faried attributes his tenacity to growing up playing basketball in Newark, "It was either wilt and cry, or just go out there and show them I can play. It made me tougher, because I wasn't backing down," Faried said.
"He wasn't going to stay in Newark. That wasn't going to happen," Waudda said. "And it wasn't like I was trying to push him away or anything. It was just the way I felt. I told him there's a better world out there and this ain't the only world." He eventually ended up averaging 16 points and 13.5 rebounds over his final three seasons. He helped Morehead State upset Louisville in the first round of the 2011 NCAA tournament. But, most importantly to his parents, he graduated from college this spring.
But that doesn't mean that they are not excited about Kenneth's draft prospects. "We could jump on the bus and go downtown," his mother Waudda told the Star-Ledger. "It's just really amazing that [the draft] is actually in Newark this year." Right now Faried is projected to be taken inside of the draft's top 20 selections.

GUEST POST: A famous sportswriter on the MVP race
milwaukee brewers September 17th, 2012
The NL MVP race is heating up and Ryan Braun looks like he should be the favorite, but he's not because, well, you know. Tyler Maas already chimed in on this over at the AV Club. Now, we asked a very famous and prestigious sportswriter from CBS/ESPN/Fox/USA Today to add his two cents to the argument. Here is what he says.
A little boy walked up to me the other day. He was straight out of a Hallmark card. Baseball glove, backwards hat and one of those t-shirt jerseys of his favorite baseball player, Buster Posey, that hung just a bit too loose on the young man. His dad recognized me from the paper, he thanked me for my years of excellent work (you were too kind) and introduced me to his young son Jonny. The boy looked at me, eyes full of wonder and a future so bright it nearly blinded me, and asked "Mistah Sportswritah sir, is Bustah gonna win the MVP?" I patted the young boy on the head and said "He has my vote, son."
This is what the 2012 NL MVP race is all about. Children's favorite baseball player's winning baseball's most prestigious award. If I had it in me I'd vote for Chipper Jones because of all he's done for Major League Baseball in his career. Or maybe I'd vote for Bryce Harper who has taken the Nationals from an also-ran to a World Series favorite. Sure, their numbers don't look as good as Buster's, but their hard work and determination display the kind of qualities you would like to see in every young man. They aren't ghetto thugs who only play baseball in between getting tattoos. They are heroes who kids love and look up to. Just like I looked up to Johnny Bench and hated Reggie Jackson, these kids look up to Buster Posey and hate all the me-first, money grabbing homerun hitters of today.
Okay time to come clean on something. I voted for Barry Bond and I voted for Mark McGwire. I might have even sent out a Christmas card of Mark McGwire and I standing near home plate at Busch Stadium the year he hit all those homeruns. That sure didn't make my wife happy. So unhappy that she left me, but at the time it seemed like a good idea. A lot of things did. It was a different time then. I was young (45) and I didn't know any better. Seeing these great heroes, these Greek Gods in baseball form play the way that those guys did it was hard not to get swept up in it. Back then it was all about stats and numbers. Role models be damned. It was a very hedonistic time in baseball's history and some of it's darkest days.
When we found out the truth about those guys it was tough, but it allowed us into this age of enlightenment. You see, numbers are no longer what's important. Sure, they help. Matt Holiday's 27 dingers and 96 RBIs are impressive, but you take one look at that team and you know that it's Yadier Molina's team. He is their emotional core, their hero and their MVP. Take Yadi away and you have the Houston Astros. Just stating the facts, but that's what matters. The MVP is about more than who has the best batting average or who has the most RBIs. They are about the intangibles and winning. Before I vote for the MVP I ask myself four questions:
- Did this guy's team make the playoffs? (most important)
- Is this guy a stand-up guy? (most important)
- Will I at any point in my career regret this vote? (most important)
- Is this guy a hero to little kids? (most important)
It's not a perfect science. For example I got it wrong last year when I voted for Ryan Braun. He seemed to meet all the criteria and then some, but after a few months we all learned the awful truth about Ryan Braun. He was a cheater and he let down America's youth. I wouldn't want my son watching him, even if he did talk to me. He didn't end up getting suspended, but it was true. That's how things work in this country. I've never regretted a vote more in my entire life and that includes the time I tried to write Mark McGwire into the Hall of Fame while he was still playing. I regret that vote more than my ex-wife regrets marrying me. (Sorry, Ethel.) I'd love to put an asterisk on that vote and that award because Ryan Braun let me down and he also let down a nation of children. I will never vote for Ryan Braun again and neither will most of my sportswriter friends. It doesn't matter how many home runs he hits.
Not when there are guys like Buster Posey out there. In my mind he is the hands down MVP. David Wright? Great hitter, but he is clearly unable to carry his team to wins. Not a winner. Andrew McCutcheon? Definitely a "dark horse," but he's a bit too "street" for me. Matt Holiday? He's not Yadier Molina. Yadier Molina? He's not Buster Posey. And he's Mexican. Or Puerto Rican. Whatever.
Buster Posey is baseball's white knight and we are blessed to have him in our game. Unlike the Sosa's and Bonds' of years past he isn't a false idol. He is a true Greek God worthy of our worship and if I have anything to say about it he is the 2012 National League MVP. This votes for you, little Jonny!
