I do not rest on shifting sand,
Or fear the storm that rages;
For calm and sure, I stand secure
Upon the Rock of Ages. —Anon.

Thank you! (((jaycee)))..I just noticed my hummingbird feeder on the ground..Some varmit is climbing the tree at night and knocking hanger and all down. This time it did not break.

We have a mandatory evac for people with special needs so they are coming to get my mother (and me) this morning and we will be going to my brother's until Gus is history.

Me, too!

Happy Hari Merdeka!

Negaraku
Tanah tumpahnya darahku
Rakyat hidup bersatu dan padu maju
Rahmat bahagia Tuhan kurniakan
Raja kita selamat bertakhta
Rahmat bahagia Tuhan kurniakan
Raja kita selamat bertakhta.

* POET'S COMMENT: I spoke very little Malay in school because most of my friends were Chinese. Duh. And we spoke only English, not because we wanted to show off, but because the majority of my friends could not speak Mandarin. But when we moved to Melaka from Ipoh, Mum made us learn conversational Mandarin because she said it was important to speak the language the locals speak.

There was once when Mum asked me to buy her a pack of iced Nescafe from one of the stalls nearby our place. I went to the stall, ordered iced Nescafe and thinking that “ice” should sound alike in both Cantonese and Mandarin, I requested more “blood” from the stall owner. Can you imagine the horror in her face? Muahahahha. She asked if I wanted more “bing” (which means “ice” in Mandarin) but I shook my head and said I wanted more “blood” (which means “ice” in Cantonese). My Mum couldn’t stop laughing when I related the incident to her!

Have a marvelous Lord's Day Everyone!!!!

Sunday did NOT start out well with mom.. we got into the biggest flail probably we have ever had..When I left my husband I vowed I would NEVER put up with abusive behavior towards me again & she is always been that way & has been very bad the past times since home from rehab. I try hard to just not listen or put it our of my mind but the continual assaults are crazy. The line between honoring your parents & putting up with this junk is very fuzzy for me right now.

I was "THIS" close to walking out of the house & calling the police to come get her & do thieir thing..

[MEG33]

(((stopem))) I am with you in prayer for all in harms way and for those having to leave their homes..

I was at my daughter’s during Katrina and involved in the voluntary evac..It took 8 hours to do a normal 3 hour trip. Just preparing, getting important papers, and moving all the pets was nightmarish. Luckily we had my home to come to..and the worst did not hit Houston.
