Had a weird day...it was very quiet here...now I must get used to not having the remodel noise for hours going on...LOL...we are waiting for some fixtures to come in...to really complete the job. Can't compare to people losing everything in a tornado.

The price of peanut butter has gone up $4.oo since last winter...

... that's a lot... glad you had a quiet day. Mine was crazy hectic

 

[nChrist]

I watched all the horrible news about the loss of life, the injuries, and the destruction of entire towns. Those who have suffered loss will be in my prayers.

Here, if I were building a new home, I would include what they call here a "safe room". Typically, it's an above ground room with an optimal size of less than 12' x 12'. Strength is diminished with larger rooms. Typical construction is thicker concrete heavily reinforced with steel. The room has an extremely heavy steel door, and the typical cost is between $2,000 to $3,000 extra. These safe rooms can double as a wash room, a pantry, or other uses that would utilize the area daily. If I understand correctly, there are tax advantages of building either a safe room or storm shelter that are significant.

If my wife and I ever build our dream home, it will be much smaller than the one we have now, and it will definitely include a safe room.

Hi
Have a blessed Tuesday everyone

 

[angelwind]

I get my teeth cleaned this morning...the cleanings really are very effective for preserving what remains of my gums...from my morning reading:

For while we were still weak, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly. Ro 5:6

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

Have a good check up

 

[Forge3]

I have had a cold for a week now. It is not terribly bad just draining. It is a balancing act to continue doing all my training and work yet ensuring the element of rest is there also. A goal is to be mindful through everything. I can only push myself so hard at this time.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

Hope you feel better soon

Rest is the key to recovery; doing too much too soon = relapse

My hubby and I just went through that...I call it the coughing virus, as most we knew got the same thing...3 weeks of feeling out of kilter...we did not need to see a dr...but several friends have for their cough...rest and tea with lemon seemed to help us a lot.

 

[nChrist]

I've had some fun with allergies, and my wife had something like a migraine headache for several days. We're both feeling some better, and we give thanks.

 

[soyunagile7980]

double post, sorry!

 

[soyunagile7980]

Good morning Eagles! Sorry I've been away for a few days...I had a cough and didn't want to spread it around, lol. Actually, I've been painting like a mad woman. I've finally finished that monster DAY OF THE DEAD. In case anyone missed the initial post....it's a whopping 3 by 4 feet canvas. I've also finished a couple of new ones as well but won't be posting them here. You'll have to check my album if you want to see them. With that I bid you all a wonderful day. Hasta la proxima!

[birdie29]

God is great God is good let us thank him for our...
Thanks for loving me God, Thanks for covering me. Thanks for providing me with food and a bed and a cozy place to sleep, even in adversity. I'm so glad sometimes that you see all and know all. Nothing shocks you, and as of yet I haven't committed such a grievous sin as to make you turn your back on me. You know my faults and you continue to love me and protect me in spite of them. Thanks God

Good night golden Eagles. good night.

Boy we are quiet in here...I have been getting a few comments on my WP Blog...yeah!

Spent time putting together some beaded necklaces today and took the dog for 2 walks...slow walks, but we went...it is getting hot here.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

I have been quiet in general....
Hubby has been home (no work) and we are coming to grips with our retirement/financial concerns....and just feeling BLAH!

So between my being with him, or just wanting to be quiet (in prayer) with my emotions....I haven't been on much.

On the bright side..... it has been beautifully warm here (in the 60's with melting snow)....so we have been taking lovely walks with Penny

I have [sort-of] 'noticed', that some, have found 'other-things' to do

They must be having some 'very-welcome' success for a while
as in 'able to cope'
Good luck with the WP Blog

I have missed you Gail...I sort have had the blahs off and on...did get out for some errands yesterday, then had to take a nap...no nap today.

The financial concerns are real...for lots of folks who have worked all their lives.

I always have a hill to climb around here, my walks are much shorter and slower than last year, but I walk. Gracie just loves being outside...maybe she will get the backyard freedom again...but not soon.
