omgoodness looking for the announcement - that would be fabulous - snap! BIG thanks UNEEK for catching and bringing it over - hope yota can ferret out some more to flesh this out

once I figured where stuff was at - I was okay - had to replace my avatar - original pink teddy didn't come through

hmmm wonder what else they will find and continue to dig up.........

EZ - love hope springs eternal stories which this one certainly is......

brbrlocke - prayers for your friend - wasn't his choice whether wearing a helmet or not to get hit by an errant car. Probably on the cell phone.

Please restore your servant to full health, dear Father. Remove all fear and doubt from her heart by the power of your Holy Spirit, and may you, Lord, be glorified through her life. Amen

Hmm - worried about gun control and killing off our kids - so tell me what is abortion all about - what's the difference?

davidlp - can't tell you names of places I ate because I stumbled onto them as I walked the streets - just went inside and ordered my food at the bar and they told me to find a table and that it was okay to share tables etc. I even tried a 1/2 pint - not for me, but food was great. BTW - EVERYTHING is expensive there - but so much fun. Enjoy and hope we all hear about your great trip upon your return.

Bump64 that cracked me up - good one - This one never fails to make me laugh either - but had to clean up the language: Saying goodbye to mother (not sad) We were dressed, and ready to go out for the New Years Eve Party. We turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on, covered our pet parakeet, and put the cat in the backyard. We phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and we opened the front door to leave the house. As we walked out the door, the cat we had put out in the yard, scoots back into the house. We didn't want the cat shut in the house. Because she always tries to eat the bird. My wife goes on out to the taxi, while I went back inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, with me in hot pursuit. Waiting in the cab, my wife doesn't want the driver to know that the house will be empty for the night. So, she explains to the taxi driver that I will be out soon, 'He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother.' A few minutes later, I get into the cab. 'Sorry I took so long,' I said, as we drove away. 'That stupid _itch was hiding under the bed. I had to poke her butt with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off, so I grabbed her by the neck. Then, I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked! I hauled her fat butt downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!' The cab driver hit a parked car.

+1 for ya - good one

davidlp - I've been fortunate to go for work, to London on several occasions - the Tower of London is great - all the crown jewels are there, as well as where Ann Boleyn etc from Henry the VIII, was beheaded, dungeons etc. Not sure how old your family members going - but now is a good time as over the summer you cannot get to the tower without a 4 or 5 hour wait due to all the tourists. Also, there are bus tours that I loved - takes you all over London for a flat rate - you can get on and off that same tour and investigate things like where Sherlock Holmes was alleged to live, the wax museum, Carnaby street - famous in the 60's and 70's and now lots of fun shopping, Buckingham Palace, Windsor castle (outside of London), Big Ben, the Westminster Abbey (where the royal families are married), . Each tour route is different and you can ride the double decker buses - I rode one route all day because of stuff that I stopped off and saw and then climbed back on after I was done with my touring. Also - a fun creepy one - they give a night walking tour of where Jack the Ripper was alleged to have worked and killed his victums - some of the streets were cobble stone, narrow and dark - no lights and you could easily understand how this could happen. You can walk down some of the streets and run your fingers on either side of the buildings as you walk through them. I did not eat if possible at hotels - grotesquely expensive and some of the best food was in little pubs on the corner. You eat family style and can order what you want but share the tables with other guests eating and made for the best conversations and discussion. Easy to get around using the tube - LOVE LONDON If time allows, a trip out to Stonehenge - I could go on and on - we think we're old here in the U.S. when our buildings are 200 years old - and you see their buildings that are 700-800 years old and beyond - AWESOME. May I go with???

Quote: "Children, Possum has been in a comma for many months but I'm back to minister to my flock........"un-quote Possum - you've been missed - whether you were in a coma or a comma - you have been missed. You make us laugh. Hope all is well with momma - stay off the sauce. :lol:/>/> :P/>/> :lol:/>/> jon29 - missed your possum editorials and stories, too. :lol:/> edited to add - I almost shot coffee out my nose reading and laughing at the welcome backs - almost choked.

Ditto on prayers and warm thoughts for successful surgery and recovery.

Nadita - I don't think you're off base at all - remember when the wall came down in Germany and no one beleived that the two Germanys would be re-united - like "never happen." Well, this is all one more as you said, birth pangs and no surprises - all in Revelation.

K98 - so much is escalating - we're all headed for something BIG

Quote: 'Zman6 According to Okie and SteveI the backroom bank screens on a offshore barge are being reset to reflect the RV of $3.42, but they wont give any more details because of the gag orders placed upon them. un-quote For a moment I thought our Clownie wrote the above quote - smacks of DT which I love witty and dry humor.

fox & Nadita - I always understood the 7 hills to be Rome - from Wikipedia - not that it is always right. :)/> I like history and love Biblical history - and there is something big time brewing world wise and I can feel it. edited to add: SgtFury - right on! The Seven Hills of Rome (Italian: Sette colli di Roma) east of the river Tiber form the geographical heart of Rome, within the walls of the ancient city. The seven hills are: Aventine Hill (Latin, Aventinus; Italian, Aventino) Caelian Hill (Caelius, Celio) Capitoline Hill (Capitolium, Campidoglio) Esquiline Hill (Esquilinus, Esquilino) Palatine Hill (Palatinus, Palatino) Quirinal Hill (Quirinalis, Quirinale) Viminal Hill (Viminalis, Viminale) The original city was held by tradition to have been founded by Romulus on the Palatine Hill. Tradition holds that the seven hills were first occupied by small settlements and not grouped or recognized as a city called Rome. The denizens of the seven hills began to participate in a series of religious games, which started to bond the groups. The city of Rome, thus, came into being as these separate settlements acted as a group, draining the marshy valleys between them and turning them into markets (fora in Latin). Later, in the early 4th century BC, the seven hills were protected through the Servian Walls. Of the seven hills of current Rome, five (Aventine, Caelian, Esquiline, Quirinal, and Viminal hills) are populated with monuments, buildings, and parks. The Capitoline now hosts Rome's city hall, and the Palatine Hill belongs to the main archaeological area. The Vatican Hill (Latin Collis Vaticanus) lying northwest of the Tiber, the Pincian Hill (Latin Mons Pincius), lying to the north, and the Janiculum Hill (Latin Ianiculum), lying to the west, are not counted among the traditional Seven Hills.

KK - prayers wending their way to heaven - where they sit before God like a sweet perfume - sending perfume His way.

Stonewall - you are a hoot - kudos to you for your support of your wonderful wife and the "marrying up" comment - you rock!

EZ - have you read/heard of a book called "The Harbinger?" It is by Jonathan Cahn I've just picked it up and started reading it - exceptionally good read and can see much truth to how/what is being presented. http://www.theharbinger-jonathancahn.com/

Wow - a too-fer - H.B. Dog53

EZ - I did some more digging and found this - hope the attachment came through.

blueskies & genx - we can all get goofy together

I've so many blessings I've lost count - my latest is prayer for a friend for a job - she got the job of her life and is the happiest and most satisfied that I've seen her in the 20 years of knowing her. Whenever she talks about how satisfied and happy she is at her work - all I think about is how thankful to God that I am because he answered my prayer and that just blesses the socks off of me. I know he listens.
