Hello to everyone.

Hey Rev, I'm talking with my girlfriend (in Canada) over the telephone right now. She informed me that today started out badly for her. When I'm away (in the USA), being alone gets her depressed. Then she played your "Do You Believe" CD. It put her in such a good mood that her depression disappeared. WOW, that is some powerful music you created. Thank you.

Millie, the only snacks I have to offer you are dry roasted unsalted peanuts and potato chips.

Ro, looks like we are going to get alot of rain here on the coast for the next day or two. By the way, interesting post earlier. I always enjoy hearing/reading your opinions.

Dr. P, I can't even remember what 38 degrees feels like. It seldom gets that cold here in South Texas, even in the heart of winter. I get to experience it on December Colorado trips, though, and I NEVER complain. I love snow and cold (as long as it's not TOO cold). It's supposed to be in the 80's here today, which is cooler than it has been and the wind is actually out of the North so it kind of has that fall feeling to it.

Poor Horatio, that is really wonderful that your girlfriend was so blessed by REV's music. Sounds like the Lord is using it to lift her up! Prayers for her and you today.

Thanks REV, we had a wonderful time at the rehab last night. My friend Keith went along again and it really helps to have him there. He is very real Christian and always has something to say to bless the girls. We went over the basics of salvation and the girls asked some great questions, then we had a very sweet prayer time together.

I forgot to tell you guys what happened to me yesterday! I was driving my suburban at the local park, which has a little road that runs around a lake, very scenic and Sean and I decided to go for a little drive. Well, I was trying to turn around because the road was muddy up ahead and while I was backing up, I went right into a huge rut that was so deep that the back wheels were actually suspended! I had to get a tow truck to pull us out and it cost me 150.00. My biggest mistake??...trusting a 12 year old when he said, "you're ok, keep backing up"! Live and learn...haha

My daughter was in a Wendy's with Laci and noticed a woman stealing glances at Laci.Laci does get a good bit of attention due to the fact that she has glasses and braces on her legs.Sometimes people are just looking at her out of curiosity,I guess,or that she's so darn cute! Anyway,my daughter saw that the lady was teary eyed and her husband appeared to be comforting her.Finally,the lady realized that my daughter was aware of all the glances at Laci and came over to their table.She told her that she did not want to appear rude by staring at Laci,but that Laci looked exactly like her little girl who was killed in the Oklahoma City bombings.She said even down to the eyeglasses.The lady had family in the Charleston area and was here visiting.She asked Laci's age (just turned 4) and said that her daughter was four & a half when she was killed. To hear that story,and on the 9/11 anniversary nonetheless.. wow.I'll admit, I was teary eyed myself.
38 degrees? Not around here! Snow? What's that? Ha!
Well,I'm doing laundry so I'd better go.Thank goodness I only have 2 loads,not forty-eleven like homemaker!

No, Me-They, I didn't get an email. Try one more time, and I'll be watching the spam filter. However, I did put your address in the trusted senders file, so it shouldn't have been caught in the filter, should have come on into the regular inbox, and it didn't. Try again, and post on here just before you send it, (mention the time) and I'll watch for it. I can't imagine what's happening to it. If you have the address wrong, you should be getting it back. Weird.

Well, I'm really tired. I worked last night, came home and slept a couple of hours, then went to my brother's jewelry store to serve as an extra person while he and his wife went to the doctor about his hip. Looks like he's going to have his fourth hip replacement, but will wait until January to do it, after the Christmas rush. Bless his heart, I hate that he has to do that, but it's not a choice. He's in too much pain.

I get at least fifty a day, and a lot of it is pretty sick. I could probably stop it by changing my address, but I just don't want to. I've had that address for years, and I like it, and I resent having to give it up because of a bunch of sickos.

Well, I've got to get busy. I had filed an extension on my income tax (they owe me, so no penalty), and now the final deadline is tomorrow to get it to my CPA. Naturally, I still don't have it all together, so I guess I'd better get to it. Lazy, just bone lazy, that's all.

MDC, please accept my apologies for not sending my condolences on the loss of your mother in my last post. I certainly meant to.

Romeena, if you have to post your email address, you can leave spaces in it and spell it out, such as "porchromeena at great isp dot com" and chances are the bots won't "see" it.

Boo, tonight on our local news (KSAT, our ABC affiliate) they're running a special on some 'revolutionary' new treatment for Tourette's that doesn't involve drugs. (Yes, I'm skeptical, too. LOL) I would record it for you but my VCR bit the dust and I don't have TIVO or a DVD recorder. Maybe someone within the San Antonio viewing area will see this and make you a copy. If I'm awake, I will watch it and take notes. You're very well informed on the subject and it may be something you already knew, but just in case.

Prayers for all needing them.

September 13, 2007 - Msg 55767: Thanks, De§. Actually, I know about that way of posting, and have done it the last few times, but it was posted the "put-together" way a few times. I'm not sure that's where the spammers got it - I am on some online mailing lists - so they may have gotten it there. All the sites declare they don't share, but I think things get shared anyway, intentionally or not.

I am just so anxiously awaiting my puppy, and it's still nearly two months before I can get her. Not sure I can wait that long! --Romeena
September 13, 2007 - Msg 55768: Thanks DES, very kind of you. I suspect that KSAT has a website that I can check out tomorrow. They might have something about it on their site.

How on earth are going to wait 2 whole months, Ro?! Won't they let you have her earlier?

I forgot to mention something to you all the other day. When we were having all the talk about pitbull dogs, I was in a parking lot and saw this dog in the back of a man's truck. He was parked and the dog jumped out and was playing. I am telling you that dog was the most beautiful dog in the world! He was massive, with a big, wide head and he was a blue-gray color with gold eyes. The man said he was the gentlest dog he ever had. Said he was a "Blue Nose Pitbull". Wish I could trust it, because I sure would like to have one like him.

Bruce is home, better go get supper on the table.

So much fun to catch up on all the porch news today. Was a wonderful day at work.
Romeena, enjoy the quiet while you have it...we just got a new shelty puppy..yip, yip, yip chew chew chew. tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, Know what I do all day long on my days off??? (Kinda makes the nursing work look good). Did someone offer Olive Garden? Just wondering what to fix for supper.
Dr. P I too live out in the country on a dairy farm. We also raise buffalo,deer, goats,etc. There are times I think I live with the Noah's ark passengers! Nearest town? 12 miles.

Millie! Good to see you, love. I hope you're resting well, and are comfortable. Constant prayers for you and yours!

New Neighbor, you can probably hear me turning green with envy. Out in the country? Raising buffalo and the like? An 80-foot porch? Oh, my. And I'm so thrilled that some of my goldfish have had babies, and it just makes my evening when a possum or raccoon ambles through my yard. I hope the Lord is planning to build my mansion out in the sticks somewhere, with lots and lots of critters around.

Boo, I could get the puppy on Oct. 21, when she's 12 weeks old. The breeder won't release her before then. Maltese are so small, they are vulnerable to hypoglycemia, especially so until they're 12 weeks. It continues up to six months, but the younger they are, the greater the risk. Also, the reputable breeders are aware of the "window" of risk for parvo, and most will keep the puppies with their mothers and away from the rest of the world, so to speak, until their immunities are fully developed.

So, I could get her on Oct. 21, but I'll be going to Fredericksburg on Nov. 1-5, and just don't want to leave her with someone else so soon after I get her. I don't want to take her with me, because there's a golden retriever, two yellow labs and a bunch of big-footed grandsons down there, and she will be less than 3 pounds. So, I guess I'll leave her with her mom until I get home, and I'll get her the next day. Argh.

Well, guess I'll hit the ironing board - lots to do tomorrow. --Romeena

September 13, 2007 - Msg 55786: Hi all,
Just a quick note to say I am back from Vegas. And glad to be back safely. Thank you for your prayers.
I had some fairly good times, and not so good times.
Would I want to go there again? Nah. Like I said before, I didn't really care if I ever saw Las Vegas. And it still stands.

The great part is that my sister had Kai sleep at our house tonight, and she doesn't even know we are home yet. So it will be a nice surprise for her seeing her mommy and daddy when she wakes up.
I must have stood there for about 15 minutes just watching her sleep tonight.
So glad I am home.

-Sterling Holobyte

p.s. Just scanned some of the messages above. Sorry MDC for the loss of your mother. I hope I can have your positive outlook when my mother goes.
Nice to know you will see her in heaven later, though.

September 14, 2007 - Msg 55792: So sorry about Mrs. Asa...prayers for her and for Asa.

DES, don't feel bad! I found some info on KSAT site. It appears they were talking about Deep Brain Stimulation, which I was familiar with, though it is only used in the most extreme cases due to the risks of planting the electrodes. It is certainly something we would consider doing if Sean became more severe in later years. I know he would want to. When his symptoms were severe, he begged to have it done but it wasn't possible or wise at that young age because they often get better through adolescence. The news could also have been about treating Tourette's with a drug called Levadopa, which is used in patients with Parkinson's. In a trial, it reduced symptoms of Tourette's by 40%, which is really good. It has some pretty unpleasant side effects, but so do most drugs, I guess.

Glad you are hame safe, Sterling! Hope things went well in your relationship....any progress there that you would like to share? I'm really hoping you are feeling closer to Mrs. Sterling after the trip....

Better go get the kids ready for school. I wanted to ask you to pray for Sean again. It seems he is really getting picked on this new school and is feeling pretty alone. I am asking the Lord to please give him at least one friend that would stick by him. I can't imagine what it must be like for him to be taunted every day. I'm praying it will make him stronger, not bitter, though I am seeing some real anger coming out. Guess I should seek some counseling for him.

Later,
Boo

I thought you may have run off to Charlotte and got run over by a taxicab. My prayers will assuredly go out for Mrs. Asa and for you. Boo, counseling for Sean may be the best thing ever for him! And for you... in the long run. I stand by it. Sterling, glad you made it home safely and very glad you gave it your full effort. No regrets now whatever may happen. M-T, watched your episode yesterday with Mom... who couldn't figure out why "Meee-theyyyy" made me laugh so hard.

Prayers for Sean today and every day, BOO. He's a regular on my prayer list. And thanks for the bleach. I can't use it myself because I'm on a septic system.

AUH2O: Hardy-har-har. Why don't you go wax the steps up at the old people's home?

POSSUM: Nah, I don't think it could be. Regarding ole James, I recently read an interview with Carly Simon where she said that since his marriage to his current wife a few years ago he has cut off contact with her and other long-time friends. I also noticed that he doesn't tour as much. Maybe she's a Yoko or something?

ASA: Good to hear from you. Your Mrs. is on my paryer list, along with your grocer :).

STERLING: Glad that you're back safe and sound. But don't worry, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas :). Along those lines, remember about ten years ago when all the ads for Vegas were touting that it's for families and showing theme parks, etc? Boy, I guess that angle didn't work out.

SPOT: Lenny's?

Hey to the rest of you fine folks.
