Good morning Villagers….
Mother Nature’s wrath has been unleashed…..my prayers go out to all who was in harm’s way yesterday. I cannot even fathom the destruction and the loss of lives seen on Whether.com last night. And it’s not over yet.
GR 😉 I’m like Jean, maybe the videos were for family members far away, but still…I remember when Ian was first born….I had a camera all the time…even took the time to put the photos in an album and write little quips about each pose. I treasure that photo album….but about the age of 4, the photos slowed down…
Years ago, someone set fire to a bunch of tires about 1 mile from us as the crow flies. Standing on our porch you could see the brightness of the flames and hear the searing of the tire and trees. My first thought was….if we have to evacuate, what would I take…my photo albums, my music and my Bible…..not necessarily in that order 🙂
Now if you really want to watch the real Arlo, and have 28 minutes, and I love to hear this song every Thanksgiving as we’re driving to a family gathering:

Lily, strange that U tube is blocked and not Facebook at your work place….that would be a big distraction to me….the bickering. Maybe you should talk to your employer about it, I would. Have a patient day, my friend.
Be alert, be safe…..be blessed
=^..^=
Jean…I left a message for you on the butter, butter posts……
I was wrong. The storm is here now.
Jerry…just pulled up: http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/southeast.php
Please be safe….prayers are with you and yours……………..
yeah, about above stuff, John Ankerberg likes to have factual and/or scientific and historical explanations of the bible and Christianity. Once he had some real scientist guy (paired with a 4000 year old earth guy) explaining how there is no doubt as to the billions year age of the earth and in no way does that negate the bible, stuff like “day” could just mean “in the day of” . Stuff like how some people say the bible mentions unicorns so we know it’s all junk, he explains that some people took the two horns on an oryx and tied them to make them grow together to look like one horn. and When translating, there’s a one letter difference between camel and rope, obviously rope through a needle is a more logical metaphor. Billy Graham once said, paraphrasing, the fact dinosaurs existed doesn’t make Jesus less real. I don’t go to church, (except I’m always a delegate to the state Republican convention every two years) it’s just interesting, to know at least a little of eveything. When I got a business degree at Letourneau University they make you take an old testament and a new testament class, Man! that old testament is rough slogging through.
Still grumbling with a good chance of more storms. It’s back to bed for me.
For all the storms that went through the general area we got less than a half inch of rain and all the thunder and lightening were far enough off that it didn’t even wake us up. I’m not sure whether I’m glad of this or disappointed to miss the fun.
Debbe, left you a message there, too.
Ghost, 😉
Debbe, I talk to my employer all the time about, oh, everything. She is also my landlady and best friend. But she says that FB is quiet and YT is loud and she doesn’t want the patients overhearing some of that stuff. I agree, I would just add FB, but no dice.
It was a dark and stormy night…
Really, it was…again.
Last night, on radar, I watched a “Doppler-confirmed” tornado (a step up from “Doppler-indicated”) pass less than four miles north of my location. It was the most severely color-coded cell I’ve ever seen on radar. From reports today, it seems it may have been touching down only sporadically but did have 2″ hail in it.
I hope everyone fared fairly well, weather-wise, yesterday, last night and this morning. Oh, and they say there is still more to come later today.
We had some hail, but it was just pea-sized. Glad you are okay, Ghost :cheers:
This use to be a happening place, what changed it? A bad plague? A Mormon visitation? Mass Alzheimer’s onset?
A happening place? So there should be news? Here:
At our UMC, we have a retired public health officer, a layman who has devoted much energy, scholarship, and travel [e.g., to various places in the UK] to all things John Wesley. The narthex in our building has displays of all sorts of memorabilia, including china, pictures, documents, and such.
He just learned that his newest great[?] grandson has been named Calvin.
I do hope that he sends the child a stuffed tiger.
Don’t look at me, FranAn; I’m still trying to do my part. I tried “weather” and didn’t get much of a bite. I guess I could try “food” next. I’m thinking stir-fry beef and Chinese veggies over fried rice noodles for dinner tonight. Anyone else?
If all else fails, there’s always “pokies”, I suppose.
It gets slow when JJ doesn’t post a new old strip. It still gets lively at times 😀
Sandcastler – thanks for the link about what a book is today. I immediately sent the link to my principal and the other department chairs at the high school where I work. This is the time of year when I spend a couple of days a week proctoring various online tests (FCAT – Florida’s “high stakes” test – and end of course exams). I see kids scrolling up and down, from reading passage to questions, and have often thought that I would have trouble keeping track of everything – I can’t imagine how a weak reader can do it!
And why, you ask, do I get to spend so much time proctoring? Because I’m the librarian, and the library is closed because all our computers are needed for testing. But I only have one more year to go 🙂
Ghost, I made the fabled Chicken Ric last night, and was it good! I substituted “real” (not canned :P) “mushrumps” and omitted the tomatoes and green peppers. sicne I was working with leftover roasted chicken carcasses that I stripped of all meat and I got the pan juices, too! It was very very good!
*Rice, darn it
If you are bored with weather consider yourself lucky. Some of the boring stuff is moving in from the west again.
The Lord watch over everyone in your area, Jerry
Lily, I thought perhaps “Chicken Ric” was something like a Gin Rickey, which is a good way to get one’s Vitamin C. They didn’t call those British sailors “Limeys” for nothing.
I sometimes like to play “stump the bartender”. My current “stumper” is a Bourbon Sidecar.
And you omitted Rotel from a recipe? Heresy, I say! Heresy!
Too strong a flavor. The pan juices were too good to cover up with nassty tomatoes and chiles 😛 Not to speak of green peppers
Ghost, you’ll find the Bourbon Sidecar featured prominently in the book Don’t Go Near The Water, under the name “Whiskey Sour.”
I like your priorities, Lilyblack. I have been eating green peppers, both cooked and raw, all my life, although I never liked them very much. My mother served them a lot, and then, recipes called for them, so I put them in. A few years ago, my frugal NH nature gave way to the daring experiment of buying and eating one of the greenhouse grown sweet red peppers. Well! Friends, I never went back to the green ones again! A ripe, sweet bell pepper is SO GOOD. See, here in NH the growing season isn’t long enough for them to get ripe, so we have to eat them green or import the ripe ones. All those years I didn’t know what I was missing!
Lily, if canned tomatoes and chilies are too strong for you, you must have a really delicate palate. 🙂 However, Charlotte is correct…a red bell pepper is infinitely superior in taste to a green one.
