What's on your mind?

You know how aggravating it is to try to collect star coins when you have a giant fish chasing you and trying very hard to swallow you whole?

Literally exhausted.

A few days ago I was so surprised and happy when I started playing Pokemon Quest and found a shiny Pikachu waiting for me! My second shiny Pokemon.

You know how aggravating it is to try to collect star coins when you have a giant fish chasing you and trying very hard to swallow you whole?

That looks ridiculously hard. And reminds me of some other very hard video game levels.

I got it done eventually, but it was not fun.

One bad thing about becoming older.. I've noticed more and more older women around me fishing for compliments and reassurance that they are still feminine looking. I refuse of course.. as a short man I was left in the dust and often mocked for being less masculine because of my height. Fortunately many women at my work for instance have quickly learned to stop asking for compliments. Unlike many other male co-workers I give women my honest brutal opinion.

Body positivity can never be enacted for the millennial generation and beyond. Zoomer women included. How we treat older women needs to eternally reflect how the generation treated shorter men during women's prime years.

I am not going to tolerate feminist "equality".

I learned a new word today: hobosexual. Someone used it in a comment. I thought she made it up but it seems it exists. What is the world coming to.

I had to google that. Now I leaned a new word too.

For a 2nd before I googled it, I thought it might be a word describing a fetish to sleep with a homeless, rather than a homeless doing sexual favors for a roof over their head. Either way it's rather sad.

It's a freeloader bouncing from place to place. Not the traditional association for homelessness. He's a serial moocher. You're right, its sad.

From what I read, it's "A person that enters into a relationship to prevent themselves from being homeless." That can also be a woman.

Although I think men are more prone to mooch and freeload, like women are more prone to take in a stray cat, both physically and methaphorically speaking.

It can go both ways. I remember someone who took in a girl and had a hard time getting rid of her. She was a squatter.

LGBTQH? That's another colour to add to the ever-growing rainbow...

Pretty soon we'll need infrared binoculars and UV lenses to see all the colours.

There's also nothing wrong with a beard and a plaid shirt - so stuff the writer of that article.

If I may ask for prayers for tomorrow to go well. Under the current circumstances I thought it best to switch places with someone in order to work in a lab section I do not typically handle but am cross-trained in, in part to keep myself refreshed, but it can be demanding in terms of work load often and I will certainly be slower than the average tech who works back there. There are also reasons for my avoiding my usual lab area tomorrow when supervision will be around, but still, I am opening myself up to potential trouble in another way in making this switch for tomorrow. Please pray for me.

Well, it seems my need for music space is being resolved. And some other opportunities are also arising. Praise Yah!

off from work next week, 14th through 21st, due to a sudden shutdown. Will be out several hundred

Sorry to hear.

The loss of pay isn't too big a hit in itself, but, spending extra money for a trip out to live it up in some exotic climate wouldn't be a good idea for this time, either.

But I'm glad that it's not a big head. I'm looking forward to hearing where your trip will take you. I do hope there is a good meal involved and maybe some new and relaxing experiences.

Of course, this will be coastal Louisiana

Sounds like an interesting place.

Pray for my Hebrew teacher please.

She's recently widowed and her cousin from Israel just called... they're on the phone now...

Sure will. Hope everything is okay.

yep I sure can before I go to bed

Prayers requested, a friend cancel going camping with me last Friday because her sister passed away. Unfortunately, she may have taken her own life. She had to make a trip out to a major city where she lives to pick up the cat and deal with what's in the apartment and the landlord. She will have to eventually go back to a storage unit once she gets the death certificate. She was so emotional today when she saw me to drop something off. I gave her some flowers from my garden and she put it in her cup holder for the trip out there. She's worried about the cremation expenses and how to get the money. It's a mess.. and the sister cut her out in most other people since she's antisocial.

That is truly awful.

Thank you sister, I prayed for your friend as well!

My Hebrew teacher also owns a business and she could use a lot of help.

I've been staying on her property for a couple of days now until I can get my van back into the shop (tomorrow).

It seems these rode blocks are happening for a reason. She wants me to stay here, rent free, on her very spacious property and work for her part time, with plenty of room for growth!

So, please keep this in prayer. I'll have to cut down on my regular job. It all depends on how my boss there reacts to my new availability.

The pros are that I have a space to work on my music, and I'll be of help to a widow in need (I'll keep the grounds up). Oh yeah, and there is Yucca around here!

The cons are that it is a distance from my bar job and my boss may not go for it. If he's smart, he'll accommodate one of his best workers, though.

Peacocks have kind of a chilling sound out here in the deep dark sticks...kinda like what a really big house cat would sound like meowing...

...I think those are the peacocks ...

 

[sampa]

That is truly awful.

Yes, it is. The sister had lost her a long time boyfriend that was only 40 years old to cancer last year. She was not in a good financial situation and unable to pay rent. And not getting along with others didn't allow her a good prospect for a roommate m is it such a sad situation and my friend is trying to figure out the funeral expenses. She was talking about making a GoFundMe page. There's all kinds of other layers to this story so prayers are appreciated. I was glad that she stopped by and was able to vent with me.

Thank you for your prayers.

I'm glad that you're able to be on free property for the time being. I hope it does allow for that growth. By the way your other comment about peacocks, I heard they are loud and noisy. So it's highly possible that's when it is.

I used to date men my age but going younger provided a different energy and joy I hadn't experienced. The youngest man I ever dated made me smile the most. These days I prefer someone in their thirties

I think I waver between what I'm attracted to in the age ranges. Today I was surprised to see someone between the ages of 22 to 26 years old checking me out at a coffee shop. Tall, maybe 6 ft to 6 ft 2. Attractive and possibly athletic. He was at the end of a line while I was on the other side of the coffee shop waiting for my coffee. I had a mask on and no makeup and felt really gross, but it was kind of a nice feeling of interest. I noticed another guy look my way but he also had a girlfriend waiting on him as he was waiting to get his coffee, he was around my age. As I stood there waiting for my coffee and looking around, it was just interesting the variety of people and thinking about our preferences and the interactions that I had with the various people that were around me. The coffee shop was a hip down to earth trendy place. Most of the people were not put together, had messy hair and that tired Sunday morning look. I'm sure it wasn't the usual Sunday morning church crowd.

But to add to the thought of youthfulness, I find a great energy in the female friends that I have that are in their twenties. Even the 15-year-old daughter of my friend that ran the marathon, I think she kind of looks up to me and it kind of gives me a sense of young energy when I see her. She has inherited quite a few pieces of my clothing, along with her mother too. The daughter is a little bit more laid back than her mom. Her daughter once asked my age, and she was surprised because she thought I was younger. There is 10 years difference.

There's no need to do that. He needs to see and embrace sampa. Not another woman.

Thank you. You always have so much wisdom and provide a good balance. I'm so glad to see you here and your participation. God has gifted you in being a blessing to others. Understanding where they are and nudging them in a direction as they seek after the Lord. Acting as a sounding board in minor and major thoughts that ultimately can lead to decisions.

I'm attaching a photo that I came across today that reminded me of what you said. I like this because it's keeping the focus on Christ
