Yes. Amen. I am thankful for fellowship here.

 

[angelwind]

I have managed to have 2 naps today...this heat wave just makes sleeping not so good.

I may get outside after dark to walk the dog.

We had a brief shower earlier...so we are still humid...but cooler...Fall is still getting closer every day.

My guys should be in Homer, Ak by now or soon to get there...Eric called me earlier, they were on the ground and ready to do the driving segment of the trip...I miss them already.

 

[frogalone]

I'll bet you do miss them. I'm glad you got some sleep in. I only ever sleep about six hours at night. I hope our early fall doesn't mean a long winter. Ohio's weather is very unpredictable though, so I guess time will tell.

God bless all of you with good rest tonight.

Our winters are mild here...some would say pleasant...but they are too sunny for my taste.

Do you take naps? I will need to nap if my sleep patterns get messed up too much.

 

[frogalone]

I'm usually not able to nap. If I sleep less than six hours, I may lay down and catnap for an hour or two.

I'd love to live where winters are mild and sunny.

How do you spend your time?

 

[frogalone]

How do you spend your time?

It's quite a challenge to entertain myself and keep my spirit up. I read Christian fiction and other things of interest. I watch movies and some TV, listen to music, a couple friends stop by a few times a week. My oldest son lives less than two blocks away, so he's over some.

I e-mail, keep in touch with family online. Now I spend time at CF. I have two ladies that the state pays to come in and help with chores and things that are difficult. Cerebral palsy can make one age prematurely. I never needed help until about five years ago. Anyway, that eats up several hours a day. Going online is about the only thing I can do when one is here because she often feels chatty.
Also, I try to get away from the house a little while everyday, weather permitting. My life is pretty simple.

 

[nChrist]

As a new person to GE, I don't know what happened. It's disheartening to see adult men acting like drama queens in a Christian forum supposedly for seasoned adults.

Nothing was more annoying when my sons were young than to be driving down the highway and they were in the back seat arguing and picking on one another. I imagine it's the same for God watching our antics.

Just saying.

There's a time and place for that ignore list. I use it for folks who try to push my buttons and start trouble. The result is less trouble instead of more, so it might be more adult to use that ignore list in some circumstances. It would certainly be better than letting someone get to you and duking it out on the forum. It's great for two who just aren't going to get along. Usually, the person ignored is doing things to make sure they don't get along, so there's more than first meets the eye and a history. It's ironic that the person on the ignore list knows exactly why.

In conclusion, I'll continue to use the ignore list when my conditions are met. It also helps to keep you out of trouble. I keep my reasons private, but it basically means that I don't wish to communicate with that person anymore. For wilder cases, there's a forum rule that involves a notice to cease communicating. I haven't used that one yet, but I would under the right circumstances. It would be much better than prolonged trouble and fighting. It takes at least two for trouble, and the ignore list takes one out of the equation.

I have great news to share. I thought my computer was permanently crashed earlier today. I worked on it all day and seem to have it going again.

YEAH!

I have a simple life too...I do not have the same infirmities that you do, but mine keep me close to home...the pc has been a blessing. But sometimes I need to get away from it as well.

I have very little family to keep in touch with, lonliness can be an issue sometimes, but I get through it. I find that a little bit of real, face to face contact with people goes a long way for me...I get my strength in solitude not in gatherings or face to face interaction with people.

YEAH!

I am always impressed with those who can work on their pc's.

Now, I do like getting a new one from time to time...

YEAH!

Yeah!!! You made progress... despite 'the hill'
and, had you failed [?] we would have 'missed you'

What a 'wonderful announcement' to be ABLE to make
(after the trial)

Glad you were able to make it out here Brother Tom

Praise The Lord! _"ask, and it shall be given to you" "knock, and the door will be opened...."
\o/


Within the CF rules, I would like to ADD... just a little 'something'
to what has been posted above

The rules, that every prospective member of forums, is expected to aqquaint themselves with
plainly explain, just how members are to respect the context, of the Opening Post to each thread
Sidelining of /detracting from, the 'subject matter' is, not-only rude
but, is against the rules

When a member, wishes to publish their very-own 'agenda'
they should not use another member's thread to do this
but, should, open their own thread to allow others to see their thoughts

I am not-allowed, to discuss
the why's and wherefores of other members
incl' those statements [about me] by another member

It is, members like that, which take great pleasure
in disrupting the fellowship of others
Their vanity is such that they speak "ME, ME, listen to me"
and openly brag and make claims of being 'SPECIAL'
In fact, we are, ALL OF US 'special' in our own way
Some of us are gifted with many talents
and some of us are gifted with knowing such people [?]

On this occasion [there have been other occasions]
I have not responded as I have in the past
My moderator training [CF] has opened my eyes, to effective use of the rules

We consider ourselves God's Children, [family] and as such
we DO NOT set out to bring down the heart of others, but instead
we support, pray and uphold each other as siblings [in spirit]

The RULES, are there, as much to 'protect' the membership
as they are to permit smooth and comfortable fellowship
and to weed out those 'troublemakers and trolls'

If anyone is feeling 'got-at /or pressurised' by another, do not suffer in silence
Report it ... PM a buddy and ask HOW you can have it stopped

I love coming to Golden Eagles
I hope to continue visiting for the forseeable future

I have simply, drawn a line under the behaviour of certain persons
I do not treat them in such a manner, and I EXPECT better, from them
or, they know where the door is

your Bro'

I have a simple life too...I do not have the same infirmities that you do, but mine keep me close to home...the pc has been a blessing. But sometimes I need to get away from it as well.

I have very little family to keep in touch with, lonliness can be an issue sometimes, but I get through it. I find that a little bit of real, face to face contact with people goes a long way for me...I get my strength in solitude not in gatherings or face to face interaction with people.

My life is simple as well. My health issues are almost all related to "nerves" such as depression and anxiety, but at times, I get these horrid "skipped heart beats" they scare the bejeebers out of me, even the docs say they are benign, I am still scared. I stay close at home as well, but now that I am starting back to school this fall, I will have to get use to the new life there. I know I will like it, I did some classes to get used to it this past Spring, but still, it is a change. I will be leaving my "safe haven" so to speak to start a new adventure that will take over 2 years. My PC has been a big time blessing, it was especially wonderful during my daddys illness and when he died, the PC was a help as well. It is my main way of fellowshipping.

I have very little family, in fact, on my dad's side, they do not want anything to do with me, and since he has died, they have not even contacted me to see how I am, that is sad, but, I expected such. Since we did not have a lot of money, and they all do, they do not think much of us, or me, I should say. My mothers side, I have one aunt, she lives with her husband in Olympia, we do not see each other much, her husband is ill and to be honest, I do not get along with him, we had some pretty serious issues when he was well and I lived with them for a short time many years ago.

I get very lonely at times, my sadness over my folks being gone now gets really intense and it is hard at times to handle, but, I do. I find that in groups, I sometimes feel lonlier than I do when I am alone, that is weird, but, I guess it is due to the fact that when in groups, I see others together and it makes me more aware that I am alone. These forums here have been a blessing.

It is going to be another hot day again. The fires are still going, but, I think all the firefighters are finally getting it somewhat under control, it has been the worst in this areas history I have been told. I feel for all the ones that lost homes, at least no one was hurt, oh, maybe one, but I am not sure of that even. I am proud of the little community, all along the roads and on house fences, you see signs that people have made saying "We love our firefighters" "Thank you Firefighters for what you do", etc, it is awesome.

Well, before it gets any hotter, I better go and do some things, I should go home and check the lawn to see how dry it is and if it needs to be mowed.

Have a wonderful day my dear ones.

Hugs and blessings to all
Susie

 

[Forge3]

I am so sick today. I have had heart palpitations and feel very weak. Please pray for me.

 

[Susie~Q]

Will do, hope you get to feeling better, those heart palps are no fun, I speak from experience, go to bed, get a lot of rest, and drink a lot of water, heart palps can sometimes come from being dehydrated. Oh, make sure you eat some protein today as well, that helps with the weakness and other issues. Extra Vitamin C, A, D and zinc will also help

Thanks for sharing Susie....I still miss my parents and they have been gone over 20 years.
My nerves don't bother me so much anymore...I take a small dose of Prozac everyday....LOL...

What will you be going to school for? That would be just too much for me these days.

WE had the neighborhood full of firefighters one season....some were from out of State...they were wonderful. Still, for those who lost homes, they have a big challenge ahead of them to get their life in order...I feel for them too.

I heard one female fire fighter died in Idaho I think, a tree fell on top of her...

What do you do with your time? I don't need constant interaction either, but I would like a bit more than I have with my boys. They're still young, early 20s. Lonliness creeps in, especially during the winter when I feel trapped inside.
