No but the plan is to put a bunch of birdseed on his car LOL... They were at work for 11 hrs today for a flight that took 1.5 hrs only because maintenance can't get their heads out of you know where and kept lying to the training officer... They claimed the plane was fine and ready to go starting at 8:30 this morning. The first time they walked was about 1pm, oops, wing doesn't fold out... back out, walked again two hours later... switches missing in the plane..., out waited another few hours and finally took off about 30mins before it would have been too late and even then the plane had no radar, oxygen system didn't work right and some other cooling system not working... I mean where do they dig up these folks???

From the same place they dig up Lt. Colonel Army doctors who are affraid to bait the worm on a hook while fishing. (Come on Jennie, I am sure you remember THAT story?!)

well i thought this was just a thread for hanging around, not getting too serious.

Before I graduated, I would merely walk across the street, wait half an hour and take the bus up to work and bus tables.

Now, I am at home most of the day, I work in the evenings washing dishes, the rest of the family is working and I have no license. I spend about two and a half hours of my days just getting to work! (four mile walk plus the bus ride and wait for the bus). Although I miss bussing tables at times the dishwashing has been fairly beneficial because when things get crazy, I take a deep breath, start saying the Jesus Prayer and go into auto pilot.

See, if I were bussing tables instead I would not have had the time to think of saying the Jesus Prayer... yeah!

The point to all this? I try to see the bright side of things.

Did anyone see the terrible wind at both the Bengals-Titans and Browns-Steelers games yesterday? Passing was almost impossible at those games.

Grooming a cocker spaniel puppy is SO much fun! NOT! I just clipped her dome and her back (cocker sport/utility clip) and there was a TON of hair. Being this was her first hair cut (she is 8 months old) she was not too thrilled with the clippers. She did much better with the bath.

I have an assignment that was due today. Its worth half my grade for a subject.

All the research is done (surveys etc) but I cant make myself begin the essay, and I cant explain why.

Interesting weekend for me. My cousin (who is a nun in the Roman Church) visited home this weekend. She is staying for two weeks on an unexpected leave and luckily I got into town to see her this weekend. Of course, my current conversion to Orthodoxy came up.

Now, having your cousin who is a nun trying to convert you back is an interesting thing. Not to mention we were at a birthday party for one of my other cousins (we have a big family, 9 kids on my mom's side with lots of cousins). I have to admit I was feeling a little insecure after the talk we had. She seemed very happy with where she was and the faith she has dedicated her life to. I went to the Liturgy the next day. Watching the elevation of the cross was a truly wonderful experience, the liturgical hymns and readings all of the cross. There was also a memorial for some recently departed in the church (it's not a memorial, I forget the name, where the priest prays for God to remember them in His kingdom), and a dedication of a baby (forget the formal name of this too, where the priest carries the child around the altar). A long Liturgy, but a blessed one.

I then went to the Catholic mass with my family later that evening. Rome celebrates the elevation of the cross at the same time the Orthodox do. The only thing that was different was a brief mentioning of the day at the beginning. The readings didn't reflect the cross, the homily was on tithing, and it just felt empty. This secured me in the Orthodox more than ever. Rome has lost so much in the schism!

Lord have mercy on me

I hear you there.

My old RC parish had a renovation and quasi-restoration about four years ago (they kept the High Altar). My family and I have not been there since before the renovation. Well, my dad still has some people he knows that work for the parish and a couple of years after the renovation we were visiting a few of the workers in the parish's office. My dad made the mistake of saying "We became Orthodox" at the beginning and later asked if he could see the church, the friend's response was "Well, its open on Sundays".

And that is their loss.

All this talk about meat is making me want steak.

I was watching that show "Taboo" on the Discovery Channel the other day...didn't know they eat horse in France.

 

[Anhelyna]

It's very very popular

All the big supermarkets keep it and there are often special butchershops in the towns too

Yum, steak. I had chicken marsala for dinner, she had some italian dish. Lobsters scream, hmmm, I might have to try them.

From the other thread, it looks like environmentalists scream obscenities when they are proven wrong. I wonder if I can duplicate the results again and again?
