Coffee Time!

[Soldier4Christ]

Good morning all.

I'm looking for a way to do that also. My photobucket is a total jumble right now and needs a good cleaning and organizing.

Either my memory is failing me or those two graphics were before my time on here. That looks like a mighty grumpy character. I think it needs the love of the Lord.

Nope your memory isn't failing brother. They were here before I was a member here.

You'all sound like you have a case of old-timers disease. Graphics no, but eggs in the freezer, well maybe??    Hope everyone had a good day. I have been so busy reading news articles I almost forgot to stop in for my cup of coffee. Mighty glad I did thou.

Y'all have been slimed..........

Did someone say something about old-timers disease? I forgot.

By the way, what were we talking about?

UM? - I think that I've been here before.

Time for another cup of coffee, but I can't find my cup. I'd look for it, but I can't find my glasses. I know that I put them somewhere hard to forget, but I forgot. I started looking for them, but I forgot what I was looking for. So, I sat down and I'm trying to remember what I need to look for. Now I can't remember what I was thinking about.

Heres your coffee brother..................

Hello Dreamweaver,

Thanks! - I needed that cup of coffee. I found my glasses and my cup, so I'm on the mend.

My wife and I just finished looking at an almost clear yard with a new cyclone fence. We've been looking at broken tree limbs and fencing for over a month, so we're happy to see some progress. Others who got things done before we did had to do it themselves, so we give thanks.

The rain has even stopped for the time being, but we're still glad that roof repairs will probably begin in a couple of weeks. My wife and I looked at some of the completely flooded areas of town a couple of days ago, and it appears that water was 4 or more feet deep in whole divisions on the East side of the city. Water lines indicate that some homes were under water up to the roofs. Sadly, many people didn't have flood insurance. The worst areas have flooded several times before, but some flooded areas have never been under water before. This season might be a record for damage done, even greater than damage done by tornadoes in the past. Whatever the circumstances, we have much to give thanks for.

By the way, did you see where I set that cup of coffee?

Glad to hear that flooding has stopped in your area.  

We've been under a flash flood watch, for the past few days now.  I see your storms have moved west but, we need the rain here.  I watched the creek come 25 feet away from the stables (my workshop) today.  The weather service said, we had 4" of rain in 45 minutes in my area.

Look to your right for your coffee brother.........

My coffee is on my right, but how did you know? Did I just walk into the Twilight Zone?

AND, it has cinnamon in it. UM? - How did that get here?

Brother, I'm sorry to hear about your weather problems there. It sounds like you're getting some of the same stuff that we got. The raining buckets all at once will flash-flood just about any area, especially if you add some 50 to 70 mph winds with that. I'll be praying for you and the folks in your area.

This was a very strange season. I've never seen a time where this size of a storm system just sat over an area and kept pouring out the water and wind. I really don't understand the principles of long-term storms like this. I understand most of the dynamics of short storms, but not storms that sit for weeks over the same area. I especially understand tornadoes, but this long-term stuff is really just as dangerous. I tried listening to an explanation of how something like this could happen, but I didn't get it. I also understand hurricane's to a certain degree, but they are always fairly near to water sources, and they don't sit in one spot for a month. We aren't close to a significant water source, so I don't understand where these storms are getting the huge amounts of water that are dumped all at once. I even understand short-term flash-flooding, but not flash-flooding over and over again in the same spot without the storm moving. After all, we had numerous times of winds of 50 to 70 mph while the storms were sitting in the same place. This is the power of nature that only GOD can really explain.

I'm hoping that you don't have the same thing we did, but you might want to keep your hip-waders handy. Seriously, you might want to get some supplies for long-term storm conditions. We had areas here without electricity for 4 to 6 weeks. Examples:  storm candles, canned food, safe cooking methods (sterno, waterproof matches, etc.). Please don't depend on rubbing sticks together because all of the sticks will be wet.     My wife and I were very fortunate and only had times without electricity an hour or two at a time several times. We had already decided to go to a large shelter if needed. We had several with all kinds of services, but I'm really glad that we were able to stay home. Damage to our house would have been much worse if we had to leave it. Sadly, many people lost everything. However, things can be replaced. We had decided to just take some DVDs with family pictures and our little dog if we had to leave.

Please keep us updated about the storms, and we'll be praying for you.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Brother please remember this is only one of the signs, given to us by Jesus.  Many people scoff at the notion that the LORD uses natural events (like weather) to warn of impending spiritual calamity.  Though I know you aren't one of them.

Matthew 16:2-3 He replied to them, [a]When it is evening you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red, 3 And in the morning, It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and has a gloomy and threatening look. You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

Luke 21:25 25And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth [there will be] distress (trouble and anguish) of nations in bewilderment and perplexity [without resources, left wanting, embarrassed, in doubt, not knowing which way to turn] at the roaring (the echo) of the tossing of the sea

Jesus also said that the days just before the coming of the Lord, would be characterized by violence and evil thoughts, just as the days before Noah's flood.

My coffee is on my right, but how did you know? Did I just walk into the Twilight Zone?

Yup!!

Good Afternoon. We just got back yesterday from a short mini trip to Clearwater, Florida. The weather was beautiful and we had a really good time. We got a map of the area from AAA, and it was enlarged and easy to read. However, in it's enlarged state it makes distances seem farther away then they actually are. So as we traveled I-75, then 275 to St Pete and northward we suddenly realized after missing our exit that area is smaller and shorter then we first thought. In fact, we were sitting at a stop light when I noticed the street & RT#, that we were looking for was in fact, on the next street, in the next lane over. Lucky for us we were able to move over and thus arrived at our hotel earlier than expected.  On our way home we went by I-4, and stopped at a attraction called "Fantasy of Flight". They have alot of old aircraft & automobiles on display, as well as, a neat walk though tour and some tram tours, etc.... We both found it to be a very interesting and worthwhile attraction.
However, it's good to be home, and stopping by here to say hello and have a cup of coffee. Glad to hear things are going well for you, Tom, considering the flooding and other damage. Sorry to hear you seem to have misplaced your memory. I'll bet when you find it your coffee cup will be right next to it.

What memory problem?         I'm sharp as a tack and have no idea what you're talking about. I don't have a clue where you would get an idea like this.   

Let's see how many people get this. I do have ruby slippers, and I clicked my heels together twice. I'm still not in Kansas. Here's another hint - toto isn't happy.

I hope your not in the "OZ" zone layer. It's depleating you know.

That could be a cause for memory problems.
