DWF and DIXIE: Prayers for you two, too. Whatever the troubles, they might be too big for you but not Him.

AUH2O: I really can't believe that the Mrs. likes "Dog" so much. I think it's okay, but I would have put money on it that she would've hated it. Women: go figure!

BWB: I was just funnin'. You just sounded so excited and upbeat in your post.

HOMEMAKER: I've heard that about kids and sleep. It makes perfect sense. We try to make sure that ours get plenty.

Where's BOO anyway? That laundry pile is just getting bigger.

Hey to IDELLE and POSSUM and anyone else hanging around. Glad to hear from AFD and DIXIE. Come to think of it, there are a number of porchsters who haven't been checking in regularly lately. There must a number law against that. ASA, CHARLOTTE, GOOBER, IRISHTER, KY GIRL, and a bunch of others.

STERLING: From the Awana.org website: "Awana is an international, Bible-centered children's and youth ministry providing local churches with weekly clubs, programs and training for students in preschool through high school. Our goal is to equip churches to reach kids, and their families, with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him....The acronym Awana comes from the first letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed as taken from 2 Timothy 2:15." I figured they could say it better than I. My kids attend a program at the church associated with my daughter's school. They have a ball.

Two Jewish men, Sid and Al, were sitting in a Mexican restaurant. Sid asked Al, "Are there any people of our faith born and raised in Mexico?"

Al replied, "I don't know, let's ask our waiter." When the waiter came by, Al asked him, "Are there any Mexican Jews?" The waiter said, "I don't know Senor, I'll ask the cooks."

He returned from the kitchen in a few minutes and said "No sir, no Mexican Jews."
Al wasn't really satisfied with that and asked, "Are you absolutely sure?"

The waiter, realizing he was dealing with "Gringos", gave the expected answer, "I will check again, Senor!" and went back into the kitchen.

While the waiter was away, Sid said, "I find it hard to believe that there are no Jews in Mexico, Our people are scattered everywhere."

The waiter returned and said "Senor, the head cook said there is no Mexican Jews."

"Are you certain?" Al asked once again.
"I can't believe there are no Mexican Jews!"

"Senor, I ask EVERYONE," replied the exasperated waiter, "All we have is Orange Jews, Prune Jews, Tomato Jews, and Grape Jews."

I actually did post this morning and tell that my husband had taken my laptop to work. Seems that message got lost somewhere...

Thanks for missing me Warren and Me-They...now, where is ASA??

Ro, could you email the 9/11 thing you mentioned earlier, please? Hope your hand/arm is doing well.

I saw a chiropractor today for the first time (remember I mentioned my right leg was going numb when I stood for long?). It was a different experience. They took xrays, meaurements and did some strength test and then the doc "manipulated" me...sounds bad but it was ok. He said that my pelvis was twisted and my spine is pressing on some nerves and something about my disc being in a wedge (I guess that's something like having your panties in a wad...he).He popped something into place in my left hip, then he put his weight on my spine and popped it somehow. I have to say I was a bit skeptical but when I left the office, I noticed the difference right away. It was easier to twist to the right and look over my shoulder. Anyway....I am sure this was more than you all wanted to hear, but there it is anyway. Lucy if you are reading this, what do you think of chiropractors?? Are they quacks or do they work?

Gotta go...I have to watch a George Raft movie...no, I'm not kidding. I don't even know who George Raft was, I only heard Barney mention him on TAGS, but I saw a George Raft movie offered on ebay and just had to get it...goodnight.

September 15, 2006 - Msg 45462: Email on the way, Boo. Actually two are on the way. My hand is doing great, really just no pain, unless I overdo using my hand. The doc said I could use it "as pain permits" so that's a pretty good guideline. I have no numb fingers anymore, and for the past two years I've had cold, numb middle, ring and little fingers on that hand.
As for chiropractors, I think they're like MDs - some are good, some not so good. I think they have their place and in certain situations can do a lot of good. As the old saying goes, "the proof of a pudding is in the eating", and I believe the proof of a chiropractor's ability is in the result. If he makes you feel better, then that's all that matters.

I have my granddog again for the weekend. He is just the cutest thing you ever saw. If I can get a good picture of him, I'll put it in the album. He's a darling. Mavis, have you had any experience with soft-coated Wheaten terriers, and what's your impression of the breed?

Well, guess I'll turn in. Sugarplum says 10-4. --Romeena

September 16, 2006 - Msg 45464: It's 4am and I woke up with a really sore throat just on one side (feels like a knife!)...sucking on a Sucret, remember those from your childhood? They still make them. I remember eating alot of those before my tonsillectomy.

Ro, thanks for those emails, really something. I had read that speech from Lamm before and agree with it completely. I heard Pat Buchannan on a talk show the other day talking about how California used to be the "Golden State" and now it's got huge problems due to illegal immigration and that many native of California are leaving it. It's said that they have the worst schools in the nation now, etc.

I guess I will go to the chiropractor for awhile and see what happens. The man is a very kind and gentle soul and just the nicest person so I hope he is able to help and is good at what he does. I have heard good things about him.

Think I'll put alittle something in my stomach and take some Tylenol before trying to go back to sleep. Isn't it funny how when you finally get a chance to get a good night's sleep and maybe even sleep in, it seems like something comes along to ruin it (darned sore throat!). Later...

Looks like some Muslims are attacking the pope now over something he said about Islam. Guess they don't appreciate the feedom of speech we have here in America.

Still have a sore throat but if that's all, no more complaints. Whenever I have some physical problem I think about what Millie must be going through and it seems like such a small thing that I am suffering. Millie, if you are on the porch today, I am praying for you and hope you are having a better day today. You mean so much to all of us.

What's the weather like for all of you. Are any of you having any nice cool fall weather? It is still pretty steamy here...very high humidity.

Millie, I'm praying for you too, right along with Boo, and will remind my SS class in the morning. A bunch of seasoned pray-ers, those gals. Expect miracles - it has happened before.

September 16, 2006 - Msg 45473: To Floyd Msg 45452, according to Tom's Msg 45437 and Me-They's Msg 45438, they saw messages posted between last night and this morning that they claim are no longer here. And Boo's Msg 45459 confirmed that she posted but can't find her message. But like you said in Msg 45450, the fact that there is no sequence break in the post numbers seems to indicate that there are no missing messages. I can't explain what happened.

To MDC Msg 45454, next time I purchase underwear here in Canada, I will check to see where it's made and let you know.

To Idelle Msg 45455, during the short time the Front Porch (and Sarah's) was down recently, I spent a couple of hours at Frappr by myself waiting.
A few months ago, I tried setting up regular chat sessions for Sarah's and Frappr. I chose Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday at 9pm eastern, 8pm central, 7pm mountain, 6pm pacific. We had a fairly decent turn out at first when I was able attend each time. But during the few times I could make it recently, I was in there alone.

To Millie, a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and your hubby. I hope you two can get away and do something special. You both deserve it.

To Tom Msg 45458, that was a nice posting about Wildflowers. Happy thoughts and images. Thank you Tom, I needed that today. See next message for the reason why.

Finally, please say a prayer for my brother-in-law. Today my sister informed me he has a 4 inch tumor near his stomach. Next week he is expected to have a biopsy to determine if it's benign or malignant. My sister has had a tough married life. This could be devasting for her. Thank you.

She is doing well with the puppy potty training and although she has lots of energy she is easy going and seems to fit in well. She weights 3.7 pounds and is about 9 weeks old. Our vet said she should be a relatively small dog. Thanks for supper SPOT. Prayers to all. Big Maude

Poor Horatio- prayers for your BIL buddy. Not too much you can research on tumors til you get the biopsy report. I'll be lifting him up all weekend.
Boo- I know you are probably quite tired of hearing this, but it is such great stuff, that I will actually say (and say it only at your word as using it at the time of occurance) Oregamax!
Sorry to say it again, but if you just had a bottle of the capsules on hand, took one at 4 am this morning, I really think you would not have it tonight! OK, i'll move on. sorry.
I heard that the pope said something to the effect that Islam has a history of violence, but just to prove him wrong, 4 Catholic Churches were torched in the west bank today. I wonder what they would have do if they WERE violent.??
Then CAIR has the gall to try to compare his remarks to the Crusades, but the crusades were a last ditch effort to try to stop the oppression of, yup, you guessed it Isalm!
Well, back to more pleasant things. My wife and I had a great day today looking for stuff for our newly remodeled master bath. I worked really hard at not complaining, and letting her pick out most of it.
Prayers for all porchster, our soldiers, the world, see ya at preachin' tomorrow.

Ok, Ok... MDC, where do I get this Oregomax stuff?? I still have the sore throat...wish I had some of the stuff tonight. I will take a few ounces of Xango (Mangosteen juice) instead. It's good stuff, too. Lots of antioxidants.

By the way, who is the CAIR, MDC?

Did anyone besides me catch the Andy Griffith movie that was on tonight on Turner Classics? I did not catch the name of it but it was the one in which he played a new minister in a small town.

Better go to bed....have to get up and get myself to teachin' and preachin' in the morning...

September 17, 2006 - Msg 45486: Right on, MDC. I just don't know how the Pope could have made such a statement. Everyone knows that Islam is a religion of peace, and the Muslims are kind, peaceful people. Don't believe me? Just ask Nick Berg, and the rest of the people whose heads were so kindly lopped off. --Romeena
September 17, 2006 - Msg 45487: I don't get that American Islamic spiritual leader that keeps coming on the news talk shows saying that we should work out our differences and come together. What kind of drug is he on? He seems to think Islamics and Christians can come together in some sort of cosmic peace-trip. They don't want to have anything to do with us, doesn't he get that...that's the nature of their religion. I think he is making up a religion of his own. How could we possible come together in fellowship when they despise us?

Prayers for your BIL and your sister, PH. BTW, I'd be up for chatting again, I just need to find the stuff again, I lost it all when I changed computers.
Boo, thanks for what you said about me. You're a sweet, caring person.
