Practice makes perfect.....post on....
I'm sort of musically frozen in the 80's/90's
It was only 58 yesterday, drizzly and gloomy-today it is supposed to get up to 70-I guess Spring is back...
The antics of this congress
Would actually be funny
If we hadn’t elected them
And if it wasn’t our money
Those once respected halls
Witness what can only be
The conversion of the place
Into some den of iniquity...
But what did we really expect?
Obama’s capos pillage and rob
While he’s set up as godfather
And government is like the mob...
I’m so sorry for your mom-prayers for her...
excellent, A+++ we have rain today all day but the rest of the week is supposed to be in mid to upper 60s and nice.
Me too....
Though, lately I’ve been hearing some newer stuff,,..not finding much overly appealing, as much of it sounds the same, safe, no diversion from one another etc...most of whats new thats appealing is music coming straight from old school musicians in new projects...like Hell Yeah, and Winery Dogs.
Tho..
The frickin furniture commercial has me stuck on ‘Suit’...in a B-52’s sort of way...
That’s one powerful earworm.
Thank you! We are supposed to have nice weather till the weekend, too...
When I was a child people gathered around the person leaving this world, and someone always opened the windows and doors of the room so that the soul could depart-I’ve participated in that ritual a couple of times as an adult, too. I do not know if you are familiar with the custom/ritual, your mother’s remark reminded me of that...
Wow-that is interesting-so is the cat thing-a cat is a symbol of femininity in a dream.
Have you dreamed of the rapture before, and if you did, were the details the same?
Ever since I was about 10-11, if I dream of the rapture/end of the world, it always starts with standing at the gate of my yard, seeing a plane on fire flying over the woods, then falling out of the sky. No matter what follows in a dream, if it starts with the flaming plane, it is a dream about the end times.
I don’t know what reminded me of this song, but now I have an REM earworm-
“Follow me, don’t follow me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
Collar me, don’t collar me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I’ve had my fun and now it’s time to serve
your conscience overseas
Over me, not over me
Coming in fast over me oh, oh
High on the booze
In a tent
Paved with blood
Nine inch howl
Brave the night
Chopper coming in, you hope”
good for them! A+++ who wants to eat that crap that she says is healthy, SHE sure doesn’t!
Never have dreamt of the Rapture before, never even pictured it in any certain way. and in the dream i wasn’t even aware that was what it was at first, because it started out seeming like a loud storm, and in the dream i said to xsteen you can sleep with us tonight if you want, even though she was fully grown. >But she was looking up and when i looked up the roof etc opened and the sky started coming apart. i can still see it in my mind. the feeling of starting to disintegrate was what felt so intense.
xshub’s dream was of a literal cat though, bc someone who sits near us in church must have one and the past few sundays he has started to tear up, and his chest gets tight etc. He is extremely sensitive to cat dander, and even just being near someone who has it on them can cause a bad reaction. That he would dream of it didn’t surprise me!
Handwriting looks the same for the teacher and the student. Mmmm.
I would be in my child’s classroom post-haste.
I am inclined to think it’s a fake. The handwriting is very similar.
Well, the part about xsteen seems like affirming that you and xshub still want to protect her, even though she is an adult, which is like any parent-they are always our kids, no matter where, or how old they are.
I agree-I’d want an expert to look at the handwriting before I got all in a hum-it does look similar.
Iniquity is the state of being without the “Teaching.” (Torah)
That is all it was ever intended to express.
Treating it as a behavioral state is oblique to the original meaning.

There is a thunderstorm about to start, so I had to run back here to close windows-garage guy and his helper adjusted the idle on the 4Runner-they are working shirtless, and garage guy has just about as many fancy tats as I’ve ever seen on his arms and torso, back and front-a lot of ink...
