Is your hubby the lion standing next to you? LOL weren't you the one who was going to put the hubby next to your character? I might do that too! It's a good idea!

<snip>Someone was mentioning a problem with an older pet (was it Kae and Oscar???). Not able at the moment to scroll back and check. I'm in a similar boat. <snip> Sometimes, when I'm working in the yard, Nana barks to be let in the car at home. She just likes sleeping on the seat. Silly girl.
That was me, Stude. Prayers for you and Nana! Oscar's getting better. He's fussing at me 'cause I'm not in bed yet. *G*
Tough being my friend, ain't it.
Yes, yes it is, Seajoy darlin'.
Actually, you made me think so hard last night, I got another bronchial infection. (or so I think...sure feels like the last one.
)But all in all...things are here.
I made Mike promise me ALL of Saturday to do wedding things. If I don't get the invites in the mail, we're not going to be able to invite anyone! How's everyone doing this evening? QUILTY! You're back! (or have you always been here and I've just been blind?) anyway Hi!
I found the greatest smiley for the next time theres a "fight" in the main forum. I wonder if I should unveil it here now...or wait a few days. I mean, it can't be THAT long until there's a new disagreement now can it?

The Lord's blessings to you and Oscar as well, Kae.
You know, I saw a Twilight Zone episode many years ago dealing with the death of an old man and his dog. They lived in the Smokey Mountains way off the beaten path. The old fellow had sat down in his chair on his front porch one day and muttered, "Jiist to git a few winks, thar ol fella," and died in his sleep. The dog didn't leave him and died shortly afterwards. As his soul, the old man and his dog whitnessed the relatives take his body away and the dog's as well. They emptied the house and put it to rights. Then the old man decided it was time to leave and set off down the road. He found himself on an unfamilliar road after a while and came upon a wide gate. There was a man at the gate and he attempted to persuade the old man to enter. However, the dog wasn't allowed. The gatekeeper offered to sneak the dog in a side entrance but the old man refused, "The ol boy goes in with me or neither of us go in a-tall." So he continued on down the road. after a while he came upon another much smaller gate. The man keeping it greeted the old man by name and stooped down to fondle the dog's ears. The old man asked if the dog could come in and the gatekeeper laughed and replied, "Of course! Dogs, cats, horses, they're all welcome here! We've been expecting you two for some time past."
Yes, I know such a belief is unbiblical, and probably faintly heretical, still it's a comfort for many who love an animal...
I'm afraid the seek and load times associated with this site have put it in a category that I usually avoid. It can take me over an hour now to peruse a thread. And that's a short one! Paging around just takes too much time for me. I'm on dial-up and simply don't have the time to wait for this. Not quite sure what I'm going to do.

hmmm----I thought there was a punch line to this story. Seems like the guy at the second gate said something like "The first gate was really the entrance to hell and this is the real entrance to heaven" or something like that.The Lord's blessings to you and Oscar as well, Kae.

I'm glad to hear that Oscar is doing better and that Nana is hanging in there. (sniff) Today would have been my Kitty Boys' 16th birthday. They're both gone now, but I still miss them. Same for my old dog Rusty. Age caught up with him too.
But I still have the Kitty Girls and we have a new baby fish. Tiny golden orange swordtail, we think it's about 3 weeks old.

I hate it when I can't get to sleep!
Yes, WildStrawberry, I am here. I am in and out of here it seems.
Maybe, maybe, sleep is coming. Night all.

Today my husband and I are going to try to get the car that blew up to work again. Tomorrow my sister is taking me and my mom out to a mother's day brunch. Happy mother's day to all the moms here!

Today is my 38th baptismal birthday! I don't know what we're going to do for Mom for Mother's day. I'm sick so I'm sure the best thing I can do is stay away from her. *G*

Actually Rod Sterling came up at the end (like he usually did) and in his usual mysterious manner said something to the effect of, "Jimmy Baccus, a simple hill man from nowheresville, almost made a wrong turn on the way to Heaven. The Devil made a last attempt on his soul... in the Twilight Zone..."
Heck, after thirty years, I'm surprised I remembered it this well (LOL)!
Oh, 'Bloomer, Nana is really doing quite well. She's slowed down the past few years. Sometimes Nana has trouble getting up the steps or needs help getting into the truck. Still, for such an old girl she does very well. I dread her having any medical problems. There's no way a Vet could be paid for, so what do do is a quandry. Hopefully the Lord will continue to bless her with good health till the end. So far he's blessed Nana and myself with five more years than the average for Old English Sheepdogs. I'll gladly take as much as he will give me. She has been and continues to be a comfort and blessing.
If you want longlived pets, try parrots and Koi. Both are known to live (in prime conditions) for up to a hundred years. As to Koi, you don't need a fancy pond. I used to keep mine in a large stock-tank. It was inexpensive and a perfect container for the fish. Being that their container was above ground the tank even had the advantage of making the fish easier to see.

I went to the LCMS church in Redding last week. The service was some kind of hybrid from the blue hymnal. Does anyone know what 'Creative Worship' means and stands for? How far does this usually go and is it a Seminex (sp) thing?

Stude,
Here is the CPH page for Creative Worship: http://www.cph.org/cphstore/Categor...tion=Creative+Worship+for+the+Lutheran+Parish I think it was suppose to be a compromise between those who want a contemporary service and those who want a liturgical service. Not sure where the origins of it are.
