& & & & & & & Woke up this a.m. to find my pre-1985 brandy snifter smashed in a ga-schamillion shards, that Tom had sent to my job. It had inside a single purple orchid floating in a pool of water with white aquarium pebbles in the bottom. It was finished with an extra large lavender bow. It was a striking gift that I've taken care of all these years. Washing it, drying it, storing it, packing it, and moving it Maxrat did it and I let him know vocally how mad I was at him. He trotted off to Tom's room to avoid the volcano blast. As I got ready for Bible study, it flashed in my spirit, which was of most importance to me? My precious Maxaroni or a piece of glass? Well, duh, that didn't take long. It also occurred to me that his pads could be cut, so I hunted him down and coaxed him to come to me, he didn't want to initially, but my pleadings convinced him and after a careful examination, I was satisfied that he didn't get one cut. |

F U N N Y ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** On a more serious subject now, I recently revisited a passage of Matthew 7:21:23, that I remember thinking seemed contradictory. Even after reading it repeatedly. I plainly and positively did not understand the verses and was honestly fearful to bring the Scripture up due to my admitted legalism issues of the past. Didn't want Shades of Pharisee-ism on my questions! So I leaned not to my own understanding as the Bible instructs us to do and considered it beyond my current maturity to grasp the concept somehow. Okay, I can leave those three verses alone, but here I am again, many years from my first exposure to that very passage and it's meant for me to understand it now. It scares me because I remain in the dark about it. Jesus was exceedingly legalistic in His teachings, commandments, oaths, covenants, Law, feasts, holy days and customs, and celebrations. Look at Leviticus, hoi vey! Jesus was the one who superseded Matthew 5:27-28. I have heard Christian "holy men" talk only of Love & Forgiveness and nothing of Confessing our sin and Repenting of it What about the sacrament of Baptism and the Communion? The depth of the seriousness of that step is NOT a theology that children understand. It saddens me to see children under 12 walk down the aisle. They are trying to please Mama & Daddy - it gets children a lot of attention. That's why I did it, I thought that might make me good enough to love, but it didn't work. Thou shalt not lie was broken before dusk. To speak with our mouth a belief in the Son of God, who is Jesus Christ, born of a Virgin, that came for the remission of sin so that we might be saved and not damned to an eternity of separation from God, and suffering like never known to the physical natural man, is not enough. AnyONE, AnyBODY can say those words, only God knows if we meant it. Then that begs the question if we aren't all a bunch of hypocrites and don't even know that? I know . . . the rantings of a madwoman. No, really! Satan has control of the earth, he has the ability to deceive . . . a master manipulator, a seducer of mankind . . . we just think we know the extent the dark forces will go to to tempt us away from our inheritance. The more we learn the less we know, can anybody appreciate that I have a new perspective on demonic/satanic power and his ability to deceive. Acknowledging the greatest pain of Death that you are eternally separated from the presence of the Almighty Jehovah God, your Creator and celestial Father. We can't slide by with lip service only, as the passage seems to show us. Ohhh, alright . . . I'll post it here, but PLEASE don't take my word for anything, check out that passage for yourself. For the doubting Thomas es: v21 - Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven (shall enter the kingdom of heaven.) I added the parentheses content to clarify. v 22 - Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? v 23 - And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.' Now the words may vary a jot or a tittle. These verses are in red print in my Nelson Study Bible. Its spine has NKJV - which is the New King James Version. The red print indicates that these words fell from our Lord's lips. Mr. Nelson has given his studied and respected opinion among Biblical scholars on almost every verse, on the bottom portion of each page of Scripture. Very informative, as I have discovered his understanding collaborated independently with clergy, theologian sort-types, his "opinion" with other respected interpretations, the point is, I have amassed much knowledge and I have only touched His surface. Nelson's take on these three verses is this verbatim: Because so many people teach the wrong way, there is a tendency to ask how so many people could be wrong. Such doubts are especially strong when false teachers prophesy, cast out demons, and perform wonders in Jesus' name. However, it is important to remember that the Word of God is superior to any miracle. |

A forward from my bud in Nevada: This is a warning - Don't grumble about not be WARNED regarding the following sensitive subject matter. I am now 58 and did not know this and I'm wagerin' that MANY of you ladies who are now reading this, didn't either! The following is about our wonderfully and fearfully made bodies. I stumbled on this highly clinical web site and found a debate on the G-spot. Some doctors say it's a myth - there's no such thing, other doctors say that all women don't have them. (I see a poll on the horizon) Anyhoo, the following excerpt answered my question about the fluid released during our orgasm . . . is not urine but a secretion from some glands we have in the region. I'm empowered now! Read and educate yourself - send me a private email or what-the-hell, comment right here, nobody will tell! Once the G-spot is stimulated to the point of swelling, the peeing feeling usually subsides, perhaps giving way to pleasure. For some women, G-spot stimulation triggers the release of fluid from the Skene’s glands in the urethra, usually at orgasm. Well I KNOW that MANY of you females have been hereby and suitably informed. |

the United States Constitution and something/someone is bound to put the hand brake on. Watchdog groups and Constitutionalists are already drafting the extensive paperwork necessary to combat this Congress' blatant disregard for the will of "We the People". (Bette Davis), All About Eve (1950) & & & & & & & What if, on the actual voting day, when the votes are actually counted, they, (the Admin) gets the surprise of their careers. The vote would reflect a sound defeat - how would Obama and Company get the defectors' egg off their faces? Dang - I would LOVE that change of conscience, right there in the congressional chamber. How Next major legislation will be Immigration - and it WILL PASS Yes Betty, Americans are anticipating many "bumpy nights". |

Back to catching Readers up with my life such as it is, When are yall gonna quit messing with our water? Respectfully Apt. #33 It was cold, very cold in Houston for most of the month, anyway, that day started our chillbumps in earnest as a gas leak had been detected but the gas company could NOT find it. Then the City of Houston found evidence of stolen power from MANY apartments. The owner was instructing the maintenance men (one in particular) to wire into legitimately paying residents so the power could be spread around the compound. The new word on that is Obamaicity. The back sides of these apartments looked like massive spider webs and our power was hacked into as well. Sheet! When it was discovered that major power theft had been going on for a LONG time, then it was discovered that the free cable that residents were receiving as part of their rental package had not been paid for by the owners for YEARS! So the property went into receivership with the manager and maintenance men arrested and put in jail. One maintenance man, brother to Tam's neighbor Rosy, was arrested for having no identification in addition to the theft of power. It was later charged that he resisted arrest, which is a blatant lie, there were witnesses that saw the whole thing as it happened. We believe that because Rory refused to "snitch" about whom all was involved in the joint venture, he is being "rehabilitated" or outright punished for his silence. The City of Houston came and publicly issued bright orange violations of city code that numbered 15 on the office door. The residents quickly spotted the offending notices and the buzz started. Gossip's wake contained mostly misinformation, rumor and plain old lies about why Kaplan Management Company was in the manager's office. KMC tried many ways and things to restore power and gas service but the City of Houston stepped in and condemned the property for human dwelling. Trust me, you don't want to know. The clincher is how long that problem had existed and the owners never addressing or maintaining the property appropriately. They finally emptied the pool (the odor was appalling) and the new mgmt company HAD TO put a fence around it to meet Code. No heat, no hint or promise of heat either. Misery had come to visit. Ms Maria Gonzales sent out a memo that we would all fill out another application and participate in an apartment inspection on February 15, 2010. This was for the bank so they would lend the money to make the repairs. Not. Exactly one week later, on my son's 21st birthday, Tom and I signed a lease for a new 2-bedroom apartment. Things can happen so quickly. The management company scouted the immediate area for rental properties that were in our range and gave us three options. That was above the call of duty as far as I was concerned and we did in fact choose one of the three suggested. It's $30 more per month and we have to pay a flat rate for water of $45, yeah, I felt faint too. The power is paid to the office and is a flat rate of $81 for a 2-bedroom. No matter how cold we keep it, the cost won't exceed $81. That's music to Houstonians ears, 'cause it gets brutally hot and humid here. Maxer & Mollibeans are adjusting fast to the new surroundings. Mollie has been baby-sitting Max as he occasionally wails and acts like he's having an Alzheimer's moment. She purr-dills and coaxes Max to join her happy hiney and to shut the heck up for awhile, "really Maxster, stop the bellyaching." A fenced patio to decorate. Tom gave me the largest bedroom since I have the queen bed. There's walk-in, lighted closets, a dressing room with sink only. Dishwasher, detachable spray nozzle on kitchen faucet. Two pantries, never had that feature before. The fun part is opening the fridge door, it's backwards, so we can barely squeeze the door past our tummies. Why would anyone do that? Took two days to move everything. George, my widower neighbor, loaned us the use of his little black truck while he was in the hospital recovering from a partial forefinger amputation due to bone infection that set in after separating his dog and another in a fight. While using his truck the clutch went out and Tom felt sooo bad about it. But as others have offered, clutches don't just give out overnight. Plus Tom had to put two quarts of oil in it. (** sigh **) Tamra has a room-mate now. A very shy man, her age and very sweet to Tam. This means she'll have at least 200 more dollars every month! Hallelujah! My son is living here in his own apartment with Lou. Tiger, the ex-Houstone prison gang member, lost his battle with sclerosis. He passed away March 4th, early morning hour. I was having a bout with my stomach at that very time. When she told me of his death, I didn't see sadness, but rather relief and I rejoiced for her silently. Irene, her two sons, John and Daniel will pick up the pieces and resume their lives without Lewis in their life. Daniel has taken it very hard, but no harder than any little boy who has lost his daddy, he's only 10. I've read recently that the stress producing hormones at hardest at it when; 1 cause, Death 2. Moving household Yes, I pray for this young woman, and I boldly ask for yours as well. What you do in secret, God rewards openly. Thank you for your generous prayers for a stranger. |

. . . and just what have you Readers done all this time??? GOD is STILL GOOD Tamra's assault case against David was dismissed. That was a blow but we both had given it to Our Lord and are confident that He can get David better than the State of Texas, any day. So we have not suffered the crushing disappointment that could lead to other maladies. Actually trusting Our Lord with all our troubles has given us peace that can't and hasn't been achieved any other way. I figure 'cause don't no one love us like He does. Somebody say A M E N January 3rd - The Texans beat the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS, I thought I would faint a few times! What a glorious game. That ended our FIRST WINNING SEASON! Need to get some more things done in our new apartment . . . we'll have to catch up, Readers, I'll go see what you've been doing and maybe you'll have some clever comments this year! BTW- I asked God to forgive my public blasting of Kenzie Guess what else? She already had! I sooooooo do not deserve her friendship - Hey, don't agree so quickly Yes, I still can be an A-1 derriere aperture. Check out what the good old Presbyterians are doing lately, at the link below.

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** From the Politico The night closed with the Gridiron Singers rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas, with gifts bestowed by a certain Ruth Limbaugh rather than the traditional “True Love.” “On the first day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: A Marxist in a dead tree. On the second day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: Two tea-bag goons. On the third day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: Three hell-no's On the fourth day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: Four bawling Becks On the fifth day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: Five Sarah swoon-ins On the sixth day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: Six health care death squads On the seventh day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: Seven bug-eyed birthers On the eight day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: Eight Cheney boomlets On the ninth day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: Nine ACORN busters On the tenth day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: Ten thundering mossbacks On the eleventh day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: Eleven loony liberals On the twelfth day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to me: twelve flaming liberals, hunted down in the wild and field dressed, medium well-done, seared on the fatty edges—“ And then Palin joined the chorus for the final line: "Right next to the mashed potatoes," she sang.
