Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

IMG_5338(1).jpg

(H/T Sharon(willow's apprentice))


***

Did you survive last night's Amateur Night errr I mean St. Patrick's Day celebrations?


Just a couple of rules to remind you about:

1) Feel free to opine and/or bloviate away in this open thread.
2) Be nice to one another.
3) Remember the ER doc takes delight in seeing you over the weekend.
4) Have a good weekend. Or not. That's up to you.

***


So that pot of coffee with that baker's dozen will help?

Caffeine may reduce body fat and risk of type 2 diabetes, study suggests

Findings could lead to use of calorie-free caffeinated drinks to cut obesity and type 2 diabetes – but more research needed


***


How do you store your coffee beans? This guy thinks he knows what is best for you.

Some mornings I want a cup of coffee that tastes like blueberries and a hint of caramel, and some mornings I’m looking for a combination of tropical fruits and honey. And because I’m that guy, I buy the beans for my morning pour-over or cold-brew exclusively from third-wave coffee roasters, as freshly roasted as possible.

So imagine my disappointment the last time I spent the night at a new beau’s place and woke up to a mug of well-meaning, but off-tasting coffee. Think notes of frozen lasagna and freezer-burned dumplings. A sneaky peek into his freezer confirmed my suspicions—he kept his coffee beans in there, stored in their loosely crumpled, basically-unsealed original bag. I sipped and silently judged him for being guilty of poor coffee storage practices.

Blueberry and caramel? What a douchebag.

Let us bow our heads in prayer:

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer
requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:
2/14 – Kam Fong as Chin Ho asked for prayers for his co-worker and wife, as their 15-year-old son was
killed in an accidental shooting.
2/18 – Jewells45 gave an update on her cancer. The CT scan showed no new growth, so that was
fantastic news. There are ups and downs, be she is feeling better.
2/18 – Intruderdriver asked for prayers for Steve, a retired Marine aviator and airline pilot, who was
hospitalized with a cancer that had metastasized into his bones, brain, and lungs.
2/20 – Iron Mike Golf asked for prayers as he underwent a shoulder replacement.
2/21 – Palerider at AoS requested prayers for her co-worker, William. He has battled brain cancer
before. It came back this fall, and he did a round of intense treatment at Mayo. He is now having vision
issues making it difficult for him to do his work on the computer. She requests prayers that the vision
issues resolve quickly and his cancer is put back into remission.
2/21 P has for prayers, as his family has been having an interesting time lately. His dear wife was in the
hospital over Christmas and New Year’s. She has lost her hearing and may need implants. She can walk
now with a walker, which is a huge improvement over the last month. Additionally, their youngest son
had ACL surgery in late Dec.
2/24 – Legally Sufficient asked for the Horde’s prayers as she undergoes total knee replacement surgery
on 2/27. She asks for strength and continued faith. She also asked for prayers for her husband, and asks
that God would provide him with strength and patience as he helps nurse her through this.
3/16 Update Surgery went very well and there is very good progress in healing and movement. She
sends her heartfelt thanks to the Horde for their prayers on their behalf. She and her husband felt lifted
in prayer during those moments when they needed support the most. Her husband was an excellent
partner in healing, who now looks forward to spring fishing (when and if spring ever comes)!
2/25 – J asked for prayers for a new trap-shooting club that is starting. He asks that it is successful for all
the adults and children involved and doesn’t get attention outside of their pro-hunting community (if
you know what I mean).
2/25 – Dr_No sends an update and thanks for the prayers for healing for his daughter Megan. We had
prayed for her when she was going through chemotherapy for colon cancer 2 years ago. She just tested
again, and is still cancer-free! He prays for blessings and healing for those still dealing with illness and
loss.

2/25 – Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd sends prayers of thanks for his daughter’s turnaround. She had
become alienated from her parents and from God, and now has come back more toward faith and is
more kind and concerned toward them. This has also helped his wife’s faith, too, which has been
struggling due to these troubles with their daughter.
3/1 – Inogame asked for prayers. He had come to the Horde after his wife miscarried 2 years ago, and
appreciated our prayers and kindness. They were blessed with a little girl later that year. Now they are
in the same situation. They have lost another baby and need prayers against the sorrow and depression.
3/7 - Pookysgirl sends a prayer of thanks that Pooky has been approved for SSDI benefits, and
designated as 100% disabled by the VA, which doubles his monthly benefits. This means they are not in
such a desperate financial situation, and it marks the end of a two+ year battle with bureaucracy.
3/11 – Jasonj asked for prayers for Barbara, his wife, to be added to the list. She had back surgery
recently, and is healing well, but has a long road ahead. Also please add Alex, his son, who is a
quadriplegic with a serious addiction to pain meds.
3/11 – Free Tibet asked for prayers for his friend JR, who is undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer
(neuroendocrine version). Thanks to the Horde for everything.
3/15 – Fenelon Spoke asks for prayers for the church she servers – that if it’s God’s will that their
financial problems might be resolved through one of several options, so they can continue to be open to
the Glory of God, the lifting up of Jesus Christ, and the support of the church community, some of whom
have attended there for decades. She thanks the people who have prayed. She also asks for prayers for
FenSon, who is having interviews for a college summer internship on 3/21. Prayers that he does his best
and that someone would be open to his skills and interests. And prayers are still appreciated for Jessie,
their dear church organist, for complete healing.
3/15 – NJ asked for prayers for his wife Christina. She had surgery in December which resulted in CRPS
(Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) in her right foot. The pain is interfering with her daily activities and
preventing her from sleeping properly.
3/15 – Half Dozen asked for prayers from the Horde. One of her adult sons was diagnosed with a brain
tumor. They are still evaluating him to decide next steps. It will probably involve brain surgery.
3/15 – Ten in AK, Hail to the Thief asked for prayers for DH, who goes under the knife on Friday to
remove an old stim from his spinal column. This will allow him to have an MRI, to figure out what to do
about his 3 collapsed disks. Prayers, but optimistic prayers at this point.

For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the
prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in
a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with

the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it
to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an
update.

 Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but
the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows
the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

I saw something that said, "One day you will wake up and find that you have no one to drive to practice. Enjoy the time you have." Happy Birthday to your son, and may his batting average be stellar.

31 In train derailment news a CSX freight train had 21 railcars derail in Glendale, KY the other day. The train was attempting to stop because a tractor-trailer rig was stuck on the tracks at a crossing. (It's a known issue and IMO the trucker was at fault.) The 21 railcars that went off the tracks were carrying new automobiles. No hazardous chemicals were released.

Second derailment at this location in less than a year.

Karma angle: Glendale is where Ford is building a multi-billion dollar EV battery assembly park. The train was apparently carrying some Ford vehicles.

If I were Ford, I'd bail on building anything in Glendale.

They were filtering MILLIONS of messages. Since Feb 5, 2021 you must assume that any messages or post about Vaxes got filtered thru their system and then upvoted, downvoted, or REMOVED.
They were working with White House, NIH, CDC, and maybe even military.

write a story on the virality project
Once upon a time, there was a team of researchers at a prestigious university who were working on a groundbreaking project called the "Virality Project." The goal of the project was to understand how content went viral on the internet and what factors contributed to its success.

The team of researchers included experts in computer science, sociology, psychology, and marketing. They spent months analyzing millions of pieces of content across multiple social media platforms, looking for patterns and trends in what made certain posts go viral while others fell flat.

149 Since I "checked out" on news, it's just been interesting to see how the world moves. It gives a very different perspective. For one thing, it's less stressful since I'm no longer getting hit by the Outrage of the Day.

Instead, I focus on things I can personally influence, especially my family. I have more time for prayer, which is nice.

That's why seeing how Trump is still an obsession is...weird. It's like nothing has changed. Oh, the details change, the deck chairs have been rearranged yet again, but on the macro-scale, societal breakdown continues unabated.

It just feels like we're stuck in early 1936, eternally waiting for Jose Calvo Sotelo's assassination. Or maybe March 1860, waiting for the guns to open up on Fort Sumpter. But instead of being days or weeks, it's always years away. Very strange.

I am more conscious of how logic and reason are unable to describe the current moment. There is tremendous spiritual energy out there, so much so that even I can feel it (and I'm not a particularly spiritual guy). So yeah, buy guns and ammo but also pick up some holy water. It's probably more useful.

159 It was mentioned earlier that one reason Trump is under attack (again) is to cripple his fundraising abilities, thus hampering his ability to fund reelection efforts. The idea being people would be reluctant to give money to him thinking he can't win and/or will be under indictment while running.

167 New York City’s bid to create the first real test of an impossible green energy deadline is found in its Climate Mobilization Act of 2019, the key part of which goes by the name Local Law 97. LL97 (formal name: New York City Administrative Code Sections 28-320 and 28-321) imposes energy efficiency standards on large residential buildings starting in 2024 — next year. Buildings that fail to meet the standards are subject to large and accelerating fines starting right away.

It appears that the owners of these buildings are just now figuring out that the standards that have been set cannot be met, at least not in any remotely reasonable way.

Otherwise they might get crazy ideas about individuation and the ability to think and act for themselves. Then it's chaos! Chaos!

Yeah, go ahead and draw your "cultural Marxism" flow chart like Glenn Beck when he was still on Fox, but Marxism has always hated sexual deviancy.

It's simpler than that. We simply don't have good data. If you know how the votes are being changed, you can predict that. We don't know. We don't really know anything at this point, so why bother fretting about it? Larger forces are driving things and trying to work out the course we're on is pointless because we just can't know. I don't think the people driving the train know, either.

I've found it more useful (and comfortable) to simply focus on those small things I can control, and to devote more time to God. I'm seeing much better results than I got from predicting crap in the comment threads.

235 Boomer parent. In the case of my grandchildren it was zero discipline (typically only, please don't do that), no corporal punishment, constant babysitting by computer or tv and my all time favorite helicopter parenting. Our granddaughter when in another room away from mom was constantly told "mm mommy's right here", typically uttered during a conversation with other adults. So no they weren't beaten into the soft human beings they are today. Both of my step-grandchildren our emotional and or physical wrecks. Poor parenting has many faces.

242 I see the German health minister is now admitting the clot shot causes health issues;

I've always been aware of the numbers and they've remained relatively stable ... one in 10,000 [are injured]," Lauterbach said. "Some say that it's a lot, and some say it's not so many."

Now a point to remember - early on when people starting pointing out the risks of dying from COVID were low, the Branch Covidians responded with the analogy - if you knew 3 out of a 1000 skittles were poisoned would you eat one?

The number was grossly exaggerated, but the same people are now making the argument that apparently 1/10000 poisoned skittles is fine...

244 I do not think we are necessarily headed for a civil war, although I understand those who believe that. I believe there's a higher chance that our society simply collapses from the dead weight of all our self destructive choices. In the long, slow rebuilding, there will be a chance for future generations to fix some of this. I won't be surprised if we drop back to 19th century standards of living for a while. And yes I know that will mean the death of millions.

254 On a more positive note, one of my goals is to try to reconnect with people I haven't seen in a while, particularly extended family.

To that end, I'm texting and emailing them (social media is right out) and trying to keep in touch.

Turns out, one of my cousins' kids is graduating this spring, so I ended up getting invited to the party, which might evolve into a full-on family reunion.

It's so easy to get distracted by screen time and miss the pleasures of sitting on the lawn and chatting an afternoon away. That's my goal this summer - to have lots of people over, regular parties, etc.

257 I think Dave in Fla. decided to check out from posting because of the constant snark and criticism last election directed at him for not getting his predictions 100% correct .



I don't think that's an accurate assessment.

The vast majority of people here thanked Dave for his work and noted that fraud can't be accounted for, nearly to the point of giving him a tongue-bath when he was criticized.

I remember almost no one crow posting "DiF is wrong, yeehaw!", mostly because everyone here wished his predictions would be correct and that we might start to roll back the horrid Democrat destruction.

Most of the pushback that was directed towards DiF isn't even really directed at him , it's more like "I don't believe polls" and "voting no longer matters because it's rigged" which are general talking points and not personal.

There was some snark at preposterous claims of accuracy post election like "there was a Red Wave, it's just that we tightened the gap from 70-30 in NY to 65-35" but those are probably worthy of a bit of ribbing.

The bright side of a civil war is that most of the dying is done in five to ten years.

A civilizational collapse yields deaths for decades, if we are lucky.

A deeper problem is that we're valorizing fragility and condemning resilience. Gen X had unprecedented family breakdown, but the society-wide response was "deal with it, get over it." I mean there were songs about it.

Now, we must lower standards, suppress mean words, and bubble-wrap everything to an impossible and unsustainable degree. Kids need to learn that things can get better and they have a big part in determining that. Bad things WILL happen, the only question is how you approach them.

I hope that is not true. I really enjoy his analysis.

As to the Trump arrest (if it happens), I have an alternative theory. They know that if they overstep on Trump, his fans will rally around his flag, and say "Trump or nobody". I suspect the Dems think Trump will be the easier one to defeat, so they want that rallying to occur.

Depends on how it is approached. I have been having wonderful discussions with my father about his life and my early life. Stuff I never knew before and it explains so much. In some ways, it helps me process things, but it also makes me sad/angry about choices I as parent would never have made.

Still, the Biblical command to honor one's parents does apply. They're old, they can't change and they likely won't apologize. Accept that they are flawed people and let it go.

330 The Oregon legislature is considering a couple laws defining a whole raft of activities as "domestic terrorism".

The purpose of the laws is to keep the Proud Boys and other right-wing organizations from being able to operate in Oregon, but a few leftists have noticed that the laws are written so broadly that their behavior may be prohibited as well.

Soros owns the state attorney general, the district attorney in Portland's county, and the district attorney in one rural county near Portland, but the DAs in the other 34 counties aren't owned by Soros, and could use these laws the next time Antifa riots outside of Portland.

There are suggestions that the proposed laws be reworked to make it clear that they don't apply to left-wing groups.

Basically this. Confronting the parent can backfire spectacularly, and just result in the same barrage of denial, gaslighting, accusations, false equivalencies, minimization and everything else they did all along. If there's an indication that the parent has changed or expressed genuine contrition then maybe there's an opportunity there. But it is going to be a case by case determination and there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Exactly. That's why they can't put together a credible bunch of fakes because they don't understand the mentality and that mix of individual choice.

One of the big "tells" was the demonstration where they had tape covering the license plate in plain view of the cops, who made no move to remove it. Sure, that totally happens!

The long slow death of the Roman Republican Empire has been on my mind often this past eight years or so. (Rome had an empire before it had an emperor, which was part of its troubles.) I don't think the Optimate ("best men") factionalists who planned the overthrow and murder of the Gracchi Populares ("populists") leaders understood potential long-term consequences of their actions. What's trying to be done to Trump is political murder, albeit with legal skullduggery instead of daggers and clubs. This being done in the face of the voters who elected Trump POTUS twice likewise is setting precedents and long term consequences which will probably only been noticed when they occur.

A) sit dead in the water until Trump doesn't run and have no momentum or organization requiring a flail around in a panic to try to scrabble something up at the absolute last moment

or

B) get the organization together to run if needed.

That's not quite what I'm saying. I think almost all D supporters will vote for T if he's the nom. No, I think the Dems are hoping to cause a certain fraction of the GOP base to get so angry that they stay home if T is not the nom, or that they still get T nommed, but he'll lose (ITHO).
