I don't think coffee wil help but you might try, Oh no, I forgot, you can't give dogs choclate, just try some warm milk, that should work

Oh no, I forgot, you can't give dogs choclate,

This is actually one of the more blah Christmases for us also. The inside house is getting painted (last time 12 years ago), just 2 hours ago the washer sprung a massive leak, the city decided to get after us for a number of old minor infractions, our oldest daughter is in a furious rebellious kick (no drugs or sex, just enormous bickering and wasting time doing nothing), our son is somewhat strayed from God (again, nothing huge, just stupidity and arrogance) and money is unusually short.

OK there, now can I join the girly complaint club? :>

I do pray for y'all's spirit, and hope your loved ones are safe in His grip.

Your wife catches you chewing on the sofa ? And the hugs and kisses work to stop it ? There's lots we don't know about Jim, I guess!

Watch it, mister ! Remember, you are a guest. So sit back and enjoy some conversation with us...but please, remember your manners .

My son just brought his 1yo Rotweiler, King, whom he accustomed to lots of beer. He'd get the dog drunk sometimes when his friends came over, just to laugh.

King will stay w us now, and will get no more beer nor chocolate.

My eldest daughter's male silky terrier (like a Yorkie) Cairo decided to challenge King. It took a while, but eventually King let Cairo's entire head out of his mouth. He really wasn't trying to hurt him, just shut him up (have yee ever had a teeny dog yapping at yee?)

Cairo keeps a respectful distance and dosen't growl at King anymore.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. It sounds like some hectic, stressful times out there. But by the grace of God, we will be renewed and strengthened during this holy season.

Especially the pastors and church musicians who do SO much in these last few frenzied days.

All I've got is a bottle of water here at work .

I like the words "renewed and strengthened" that you used, synger. The hope we have in Him who saved us is so beautiful, and wonderful. This Season is all about celebrating the birth of our Lord. The joy we feel in Him, is from Him, as well. Praise Jesus' Holy Name!

Beautiful Radidio. I always feel much comfort in verse 17.

When I'm reading the bible for study, I like the NIV...but when I'm in need of comfort, King James is my favorite.

May God Bless all of us with comfort this Christmas.

I guess you can afely say that no one has ever figured me out That was cute Seajoy, I had to go back and read what I had written Thanks for the laugh, it was needed.

We had our office Christmas party today. I guess it was better then I had expected, but still a disappointment. I'm not sure if there are any Christians there at all. I just feel so fulfilled at church and when with my family, everything else is going through the motions. If it wern't for the sure promises of God I just couldn't make it in this life. I am thankful for all your friendships here. This is like a place of rest and fellowship, just what I need. Well there I go rambling again.

I would have loved to see that. Made me laugh Little dogs can be so annoying, although they do make nice house pets. I'm sure you already know, but chocalate isn't good for dogs, I've read that just a small amount can kill a puppy.

Mmmm, your coffee sounds good. I had to give up coffee last year. I had chronic insominia. It helped a lot. I do have a cup one in a while. Last week I was in a metting and had several cups, not good. I was bouncing off the wall. I drink tea spiked with a liberal amount of honey now. I really enjoy it because there are no concequences such as the caffeene addiction and nervousness. Up until about 8 years ago I drank 2 full post a day. I wonder if that had anything with my developing insomnia
