Good Morning everyone
I'm going to my wife's old Pentacostal church to pray for Lilianna23
It's against my better judgment, but Lili & family deserve the best in the Christian faith (I may not survive it though, damn Bible thumpers...)
They're sole mission is to scare the 'Hell' out of you....

 

[Wonderer67]

I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A DM FROM LILI AS SHE KNEW I WAS AWAKE. DUE TO A FAMILY TRAGEDY SHE DOES NOT EXPECT TO BE ON LIT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. I AM SURE YOU WILL ALL BE PRAYING FOR HER AS AM I.

THANK YOU.

END OF MESSAGE

Oh gosh. Just perusing lit and saw this. My prayers are out there…

I was chatting with Dr. Tyler yesterday evening and we seemed to agree that perhaps as we have aged, that warm weather is somewhat more tolerable than it once was.

I think that too.... I used to abhore warm weather.... like 80s I would be so unhappy. Now I sort of don't mind in to the 90s.... our thermometers are getting old

They probably don't work as well as they once did. It also depends on what we're doing in all that heat. Pruning the shrubs in the shade is one thing. Framing a house in the sun is something else entirely.

You got that right......or making hay, or on an asphalt shingle roof..... and it also never seems as hot when doing something fun

Well just finished up with the phone calls where I listen to people complain...... i.e. my mom about my dad and/or my sister and her son or my friend about her husband. Ugh and uuugggghhhhhh.... doesn't help to tell them to stop so I listen and suck it up or redirect where I can.... makes me tired.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Talking to Dr. Tyler can get old. I don't know if it's the complaints about stuff and people or the stories from the '40s that I can tell better than she does. I may not always succeed, but I do try to to stay positive and upbeat.

The fact you let them vent is commendable.
Do you have an activity you do to allow yourself to let go like that?
Sounds like a good time if you do.

Not really. No one really comes around unless it is to bitch. And I dont want to lay burdens on people. I get support here....even then 8 keep most of it inside so I am not hated

Well, if you feel like you need to vent, my inbox is open.
No strings attached.

Quiet day here. No complaints about not being able to keep up. Of course, we're missing a handful of key characters today.


Best wishes for everyone's health and well-being.

My niece and nephew might be coming to stay with me.

My oldest sister's fraternal twins want to live here while attending college nearby. They've spent time at my house before, and they think it's "really cool!" to be hanging out with their weird old uncle in a shack in the boondocks. And, if they're okay with open windows in the summer and wood heat in the winter, then I won't mind their presence.

Sister doesn't like it that they'll be staying with me while there's guns in the house. I told her that they're all antique hunting guns (she doesn't know about the pistols or the FN-49) and that I have all of them all locked in a gun safe (hidden recesses in the walls, but she doesn't need to know that either). She also doesn't know that the kids and I are looking forward to duck and deer season.

Hopefully we'll do some hiking and bicycling as well. There's some very good museums near here, which they both want to visit with me. They seem like pretty serious, studious kids, certainly more put-together than I was at their age. I don't see them being any more likely to get into trouble than I am.

Anyone have any other ideas on how to keep two (non-drinking) college kids entertained in a small town?

I thought Pentacostals were pretty chill about that kind of thing, comparatively speaking. I've always heard them called Episcopalians with bagpipes.

EDIT: I'm thinking Presbyterians, which isn't the same thing as a Pentacostal. I, um, I really have only the vaguest idea of what a Pentecostal is. I don't think very many of them get mentioned in the Social Register.

If I am correct pentecostal are the end is near kind of thing... you are going to hell if you don't repent repent repent.... they do try to scare the hell out of you.....hahahaha...but what do I know I am a Lutheran

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I was raised to be Episcopalian before I "converted" to whatever it is that I am now, but the dues are cheap and there's no mandatory church. Oh, and we renounced Hell, too. There is an inner darkness that is worse than any Hell I can imagine, and I don't have to go back unless I do the things that will carry me there. So, i don't do those things.

1. Suggest they live in a dorm on campus
2. Suggest they find roommates and live in an apartment or house.

Living with an Uncle is just an extension of living at home, even if he’s a ‘cool’ uncle. Going “away” to college means it’s time to cut the cord so they don’t try to move back in with Mom after graduation.

I’m not suggesting some hard assed “do it like the old days” that no longer applies but just plain growing up, taking responsibility and becoming an adult.

Living with Mommy or an Uncle isn’t going to make their world bigger. Experiencing it will.

Mercy, we have a shower!!! The outside rain kind, not the indoor plumbing kind. Well, we have that, but it's not remarkable. Rain is.
