The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

rise-shine-20220803-123.jpg

(Ahhhhh.......Tasty!)

*****

The first Saturday in September? Hmmmm. Where has the year gone? In brighter news I have been informed by Mr. J.J. Sefton of the following:

Hi MH

Some good news to report. My MRI came back negative, so essentially I'm cancer-free for now.............

Please give everyone my thanks for all their prayers and kind words. It helped get me this far, I'm convinced.


Fantastic news J.J. Thank you for sharing with the Prayer Revival.

*****

Before we enter the Prayer Revival there are a few housekeeping matters to take care of. (Rulz for those of you in Cornucopia)

1. This is an open thread so feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2. Even the trolls need some understanding.
3. For Heaven's sake, no jumping on the Naugahyde divan.
4. No. Running. With. Sharp. Objects.
5. Have a great weekend!

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:

6/29 – bluebell passed along a request from grammie winger, who asked for prayers for her husband, Rev, who is having open heart surgery on 7/8 to take care of his aortic aneurysm. Recovery time is expected to be 6-8 weeks.
8/17 Update – Rev is improving day by day. A home health nurse comes 3 days a week, and he has PT twice a week.

7/13 – Chris C, a loyal lurker (and prayer) requests prayers for his bride, Melanie, who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She needs support as she is exhausted from caring for Chris and his 23 days in the hospital for a triple bypass that “went south”.
8/17 Update – Chris sent his thanks for all the prayers. Melanie’s surgery was successful, and the doctor got it all. Lymph sentinel was negative.

7/22 – Sponge’s First Lady is home and resting comfortably. The surgery went well and the doctor was pleased. They did remove some lymph nodes that looked suspect, but did not have to remove much mass around the cancer. They will have the results of the tests on the nodes next week. Thank you for the continued prayers as she has only just begun this whole thing.
8/8 Update – One of the lymph nodes had cancer cells in it. She’ll start chemo in a couple of weeks, but for now it will be once a week for 12 weeks, then different meds once every 2 weeks for 4 weeks, then radiation for 5 weeks. They send thanks to all for your support.
8/12 Update – Sponge’s First Lady starts chemo this week, earlier than expected. She’s also nervous that her boss won’t be happy that she can’t work Thursdays anymore, due to the chemo schedule.

8/6 - LMD Outer Banker requested prayers for a son who is undergoing an experimental treatment for chronic Lyme disease, which he has been battling for 25 years. He will be in a clinic abroad for about a month.
8/31 Update – The son is on his way home. After one month of treatment, the tests appear to show he is free of Lyme and its coinfections. For the first time in 15 years, he no longer has to take antibiotics. Now the challenge is for his immune system to repair itself to be able to ward off future problems. The clinic indicates that will take about 6 months of healthy eating and supplements. Thank you for your prayers; LMD Outer Banker and family are crying in joy.

8/10 – Farmer Bob provided an update. He sent his thanks for the prayers and encouragement. It’s been a year, and he is fit, fun, fashionable, fearless, and faithful man again, vs. the pit of despair and despondency.

8/10 – From about That Time requested prayers for a nephew, daughter, and the entire family in general. The nephew, a 45 year old, was camping with the family, and felt ill. He went to the porch to rest and died. The daughter could use prayers because she just lost her (early) second pregnancy. A boatload of prayers would be greatly appreciated.
8/17 Update – From about That Time sent thanks to all for the prayers.

8/10 – Tonypete asked for prayers for his HS buddy Fred, who passed away on 8/9 after suffering from ALS for many years.

8/10 – S requested prayers for his friend Jim, who lost his brother and needs strength to assist in this painful transition.

8/11 – RickZ asked for prayers for an internet friend, Pandora, who died of cancer, and for her beloved husband. Pandora was very worried about him, how hard it will be for him when she died.

8/17 – Pug Mahon posted that he was worried about his wife. She was on antibiotics for acute Lyme disease, and was scheduled for an MRI on Sunday morning. They are not sure what is going on.
8/21 Update – Pug’s wife didn’t do well with the first antibiotic, but she is responding better to the second one. Also, she is working half-days. It is pretty clearly Lyme disease.

8/17 – Oddbob asked for prayers for the family of M, his daughter’s friend, who passed away last week.

8/17 – Dave in Fla asked for prayers. He is looking for guidance related to his job. He is about 3 years from retirement, and returned to work from a vacation to find that he was removed from his position without explanation, and after demonstrated success, due to office politics. He still has a job, and can keep working in FL, but he is also considering an offer from the company’s San Diego location. It’d be a burden to be bi-coastal for 3 years until retirement, but he knows and trusts the people at that location.

8/17 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son, who is still looking for a job in his major, which was horticulture. He has been apparently been offered a part time dealing with writing things for the internet, but that hasn’t started yet. Also, prayers for all the Morons and ‘ettes looking for jobs, including Bulgar.

8/17 – Polliwog the ‘Ette posted that Sister, C, found out that she has ovarian cancer and is scheduled for surgery at the end of August. Thankfully, it seems contained to just that area, but life will be complicated for the entire extended family for a bit.

8/19 – screaming in digital requested prayers for J, who fell of her porch and hit her head on concrete. J is a recent widow, and has been a friend for nearly 40 years.

8/23 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant requested continued prayers for J.J. Sefton. J.J. is feeing “not too bad, all things considered”. His post-radiation/chemo MRI is scheduled for the first week of Sept, and this is when he will find out where things are at, concerning his cancer. Please keep praying for complete remission, recovery, and a return to good health.

8/24 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for a friend, P, whose daughter was getting married in the RCC church on 8/24. P is disaffected from the RCC, believes in God, but not in Jesus. P’s wife is involved in the RCC church, so this is a sticking point with her. Also, prayers are requested for blessings for the daughter and son-in-law, and that everyone gets back and forth safely, and that the people at the wedding feel the presence of God and have a lovely time.

8/24 – tbodie Lurker asked for prayers for a 2nd ablation surgery, scheduled for 9/30. Hoping this one sticks.

8/31 – Tonypete requested prayers for his wife’s friend Barb. She is suffering from some type of mental disturbance and is a mess.

8/31 – Huerfano asked for prayers for a nephew, FHC, who sustained a lower back injury in a car accident a couple of months ago. He is running out of treatment options, short of surgery, which no one wants.

8/31 – Jewells45 sent an update. She started on Cyremza 2 weeks ago, and the only side effects are really bad headaches and fatigue. She is praying this works.

8/31 Zibby requested prayers for her brother-in-law, who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and given 2 months to live. The family is in shock and Zibby’s husband is devastated. The BIL is the oldest sibling and beloved by everyone. Thank you for your prayers.

8/31 – AnnaS1’s husband died in July, and her heart is shattered. She needs some prayers. If anyone else has lost a spouse, how did you get through it?

8/31 – Morgan, loyal lurker, just got a new job and is very hopeful. He is requesting prayers that this will work out, that he can prove to be a valuable employee, and that God will bless the firm and its clients.

9/2 – Anderson Cooper’s giant anus has a praise update for the prayer list. His stage 4 esophageal cancer (lymph nodes and lungs secondary) is gone after 6 months of integrated therapy. The new scan is clean. Praise God. Thank you Horde.

9/3 – Ben Had posted that JT is sounding really good and sends his thanks for the prayers and concern. He will be in the rehab facility for a while longer.

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.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

18 Good morning everyone. Prayers for all intentions - those requested and those known but to God.

Also, healing prayers requested for my lovely better half. She zigged when she should have zagged yesterday and, for her trouble, has 4-5 staples in the back of her head. No permanent damage or serious injury so we are all thankful for that.

My friend J, 80, could use some prayers for healing. She tripped over the garden hose and face planted on the patio. She's home, but bunged up and facing a longish recovery. Many thanks.

He's frustrated and confused and now I absolutely know for certain he has early onset dementia. He just came down a few notches and it's very noticeable. I should have been there with him but my pain was so bad I couldn't even drive a car. Oh and I got another UTI. My trip to Florida is probably off.

Five years ago this week I was struck by myocarditis that resembled a heart attack and damn near killed me. Whilst in the hospital they scoped my ticker from top to bottom, even injecting me with that weird burning stuff to map the arteries. Very cool imaging. As soon as I could, I sought out the Anointing of the Sick, which I found calming. Also efficacious, as my heart sustained no damage and I had a full recovery. The cardiologist was positively grinning at the follow-up appointment because he rarely gets to give such good news.

While convalescing I read up on the Spanish Civil War, and that became the genesis of Long Live Death, which got me into non-fiction and so Walls of Men followed. I got to see the kids finish high school and greet my grandchildren, so things have worked out pretty well.

Thanks be to God!

137 Jewells, if you can find a first-rate urology department there is great reason for hope. First, as you probably have heard, all sorts of UTI's and urinary disorders ape the symptoms of dementia, and those clear up when the blockages and infections do.

"Swollen prostate" does not always mean prostate cancer, and treatments have advanced greatly in this century. You should ask about a process called trans-urethral resection (turp). The use of the laser only sounds barbaric in description, and pales by comparison to the melon-ballers they used to whip out.

My father is an otherwise highly intelligent man, but he has outsourced all his political thought to MSNBC, and the other day yet again gave me the brain-dead claptrap about gun control and I had to remind him that he went to high school when you could mail order an M1 Carbine for $10 without any restrictions. Shotguns could be bought at the hardware store without showing ID.

Yet school was safe. What changed? It damn sure wasn't the guns. He tried to argue that guns were unique and I pointed out the Christmas parade massacre and how my quiet, leafy college town now parks trucks on all the entrances to the air fair so that some nut doesn't try the same trick.

We have a mental health crisis, not a gun crisis.

It's in Tuscaloosa tonight, though, so, yeah, probably a blowout.

Columbine was, and sort of set a template for how to get media coverage if you're an angry kid.

The pattern was clear even back then, and no one has bothered to do anything. The schools report the kids, law enforcement folds its hands, and people expect the parents - who created the problem - to know how to fix it.

And then there's the new trans angle, where we pump dangerous chemicals into teenagers and wonder what will happen next. The responsible agencies are more interested in bullying parents' use of pronouns that stopping any of these crimes from happening.

Oh, and the "red flag" laws that take your guns but leave you with car keys and machetes because those totally can't hurt anyone.

AnnaS1- you have my sincere condolences. I lost my first husband to a very aggressive cancer just after we both turned 30. What you are dealing with is hard. The loss, the sadness, the.... Everything. It feels like it's too much and it will crush you but trust me, you will get through it. I had a 2 yr old to deal with. Trying to keep his life normal helped me keep my sanity. My family, (parents, brothers, etc) were huge help. Turn to family and friends. When they ask what do you need, how can I help? Tell them. Don't think you have to carry this alone.
My brother heard me railing against this terrible reality, grabbed my shoulders, looked me right in the eye and said, " no it isn't what you want, it's not what it should be. It's the way it is, and you have to accept it and keep going. You play the cards you're dealt.".
Just keep breathing and moving forward.

Depending on the school, you may not be contributing a cent to athletics unless you are a donor. That's been the rule in Michigan for a while - using tuition and state aid to pay for athletics is a no-no, so they raise funds by selling the broadcast rights.

Besides, what's the alternative - treating the game like a press conference and having every channel that wants to show up? How would that even work?

Well, cancer-free "for now." Hence maintenance chemo and continual monitoring for the rest of my life. The nature of glioblastoma is that it is a very nasty and persistent cancer. That said, considering the near total removal of the mass and the pathology indicating that the usual treatment protocol with radiation and chemo per the oncologists would be very effective means I could go on for many years and likely die of something completely unrelated to this. I'm shooting to be in that group.

Very much so, but it is easier to use the secular expression than the true one. The first step is clarifying that the problem cannot be solved merely by prohibiting sharp pointy things.

By focusing on mental health, we can also highlight the limitations of the current system, which includes the ineffectiveness of drug treatments.

At the same time, we must speak more openly of faith, re-inserting it into the public square and embracing the language of moral judgement. We need to remind people hell exists and its doing huge business at the moment.

I'm old enough to remember when having a game on television at all was a big deal. I was the marching band and I'd call my grandparents and tell them to watch for me when they showed shots of the band and more than once got a call on Sunday night from them saying they had friends over and everyone saw me.

I do recall local broadcasts and the university public TV station would run a taped version of the game late Saturday night.

228 Good morning

Colorado Parks & Wildlife has released its annual grey wolf reintroduction report.

I am a bit puzzled by this quote from one of the organizers/advocates for the reintroduction:

“There’s a bigger good here, right? Bringing wolves back to do what wolves are supposed to do, which is to keep the land healthy by moving their native prey around the landscape,” said Rob Edward, President of Rocky Mountain Wolf Project.

What is this notion of what wolves are supposed to do? It seems obvious that with population growth in Colorado and with increased recreational activities in the mountains, ranching, and exurban mountain homesites that the interface between man and nature is nowhere near the same ass it was in 1824 or 1924 or even 1974. The notion of returning to some presumed prior normative status by bringing back an apex predator strikes me as Disneytopian nonsense.

THere's also an anti-parasitic called Fembendazole that is supposed to be very effective. Also CBD oil can boost chemo effectiveness, and even be effective on its own, per current research.

There is a lot of emerging evidence that nicotine, of all things, helps deal with COVID/CoVax, as it appears the spike proteins bind to a nicotine receptor site.

246 As a kid, I would spend a *lot* of time living in the forest in CO. Starting when I was 12, my younger brother and I made a big teepee with a shortwave radio, a little library, camp stove, food, etc. We'd just hang out up there on the mountain and come back occasionally for showers. My parents loved it.

So I was going to remark that it's a matter of time til one of these wolves gobbles up some youngster whose hiking around.

But then I remember children don't even play outside anymore, let alone rough it in the woods unattended.

I endorse keep busy, but for me it was more a process of taking one thing at a time and doing it. So much was in upheaval when my husband died (year ago April) that I am only this month finishing our last married-filing-jointly for 2023; after closing out his business, doing those taxes and settling those accounts, I just filed an extension on our own taxes because I was overwhelmed from doing all the business things (also on extension--he died tax week after a long debilitating illness).
You WILL be busy all on your own, but take things as you can,
Yes, accept help. I am glad for relatives who helped me though so much.
I was very lucky, in that my husband's death was not unexpected. Also lucky in that I could truly feel thankful he was not in pain any more, not just the illness but the horrible rage and frustration of a man used to being competent and in control.
I miss him, but not his suffering.
And it hits me in the face when I least expect it.
His first birthday after he was gone wiped me out. He would have been 64, and that Beatles song was our wedding dance. It made me so sad that he didn't make it.

There are rumors that if U-M gets spanked by Texas today, the school will settle with the NCAA next week. In the bizarre calculus of U-M leadership, they'd rather keep the scandal dripping out and hope for a winning season than just clear it out of the way as all other schools would do. It's utterly insane from a crisis management perspective.

It's a response to the liberal Catholic whining that people who want to enforce traditional morality are "hung up on sex."

Um, no. We think about lots of things and while sex has its place, it is not the primary activity with which we identify ourselves.

The deviants are the one who define themselves by their deviancy, and it's fascinating how they think that if they can just get a bunch of people in Roman collars to agree with them, God will withhold judgement on this matter.

But the core question is why? Why are you willing to put your very soul in eternal torment just so you can bust a nut on another dude? Don't get me wrong, I get that some sex is hotter than others, but banging your way through bathhouse after bathhouse has to get a bit boring after a while.

It's beyond the point where UM can negotiate anything as the official notice of allegations was delivered to them ten days ago.

They could've attempted a negotiated settlement after the draft NOA was received a month or so ago, but chose not to.

They can still offer to self-impose penalties, but the NCAA doesn't have to accept it if the proposed self-penalties are not sufficient given the serious nature of the infractions.

The matter is going to the NCAA's Committee On Infractions no matter what now.

That's not true. Throughout the process the path to a negotiated settlement remains open. The previous infraction was negotiated after the NOA was delivered, and in many cases the NOA facilitates negotiation because it spells out the seriousness of the offense.

The NCAA prefers this path because it takes less time and is not subject to appeal. Michigan technically has 90 days to respond and in the previous violation used that full time before reaching a settlement, though the case had to be broken up into separate elements due to Harbaugh's non-cooperation.

Based on the length of that case, I expect the cheating NOA to be several hundred pages long and contain information confirming that the football program was essentially unsupervised, completely beyond institutional control. The earlier report contains hints of this, remarking that there was a culture of non-compliance.

It will not end well for them.

A H Lloyd, I suspect if people were enjoined to "die to self" (remember the old hymn?) today, they'd respond with cries of being genocided.

Defining oneself, making one's entire identity, a sexual practice is no different than any other form of victimhood-worship celebrated today.

Neither Hersh Goldberg-Polin nor Aysenur Egan Eygi would be dead today it weren’t the USA’s failed policies concerning the continued siege on Gaza, Netanyahu, and the IDF’s intransigence. If Biden had remained steadfast to American Law, his own policies concerning military aid, his “Redlines” and the world outcry, his ability to use American law to leverage a ceasefire, these beautiful young people would be alive today. Blinken’s comments do not meet the significance of this event. He does not address how the USA will keep other Americans safe there no matter what the circumstances may be. Eygi was protesting an illegal settlement. This has gone too far. It’s too much and it has to be addressed in good faith, finally. #TooFarTooMuchGaza.

342 By the way, I think the whole Michigan cheating thing is illustrative of how morality has slipped over the past few years.

Not that long ago, a school that found a violation would fall over itself to correct it. Michigan actually did this during the RichRod era where the president herself apologized for the transgressions.

Flash forward to last year. As soon as the story broke, I was convinced that there would be a Friday Night Massacre, canning Harbaugh, the staff, etc. and an immediate statement would go out about how this is unacceptable. Instead, they turtled up and have stayed that way, desperately clinging to their fraudulent titles.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Everything is "the ends justify the means" these days, but there are exceptions. MSU and Northwestern both had scandals and solved them by whacking the coach. As a result, they're in a better place today. Michigan has destroyed its reputations not only through the cheating, but their cowardly refusal to own up to it.

Who in their right mind would go to a school like that? Talk about destroying the brand.

My husband died a little over a year ago. Grief is a tough journey. It seems insurmountable at first but believe me it does get better little by little. I leaned heavily on my son and sister during the first few months. Family is important. Try to stay busy. I was lucky in that regard as I decided to move from Ohio to Tennessee to be close to son and grandchildren and the process kept me from dwelling on the grief too much. Of course I had the blessing of Horde prayers and good wishes which I know helped me get through those first couple of weeks.

It clearly shows that once the official (not the draft) notice of allegations is delivered, the matter ultimately will go to Committee on Infractions for determination.

As I stated, UM can offer to self-impose penalties and the NCAA investigation branch can even accept it, but the matter is still going to the Committee on Infractions who have the ultimate say in what the penalties will be.

We're talking past each other. The COI approves settlements as well as adjudicates. You will recall that there was an earlier settlement offer regarding recruiting that the COI rejected as too lenient.

The big difference is that a settlement cannot be appealed. The other resolution methods can.

Michigan would be well advised to settle quickly, before the FBI makes its move regarding Matt Weiss and the criminal implications of trying to fix the entire college football season. If the NCAA case remains open when that hits, the penalties will surely escalate. If it is closed, than the NCAA would not be able to reopen it.

I think the NCAA knows this and does not want to impose the 'death penalty' on Michigan, but if federal indictments are handed down, may be forced to do so. Closing the case avoids that entire discussion.

374 352 AnnaS1’s husband died in July, and her heart is shattered. She needs some prayers. If anyone else has lost a spouse, how did you get through it?

My husband died a little over a year ago. Grief is a tough journey. It seems insurmountable at first but believe me it does get better little by little. I leaned heavily on my son and sister during the first few months. Family is important. Try to stay busy. I was lucky in that regard as I decided to move from Ohio to Tennessee to be close to son and grandchildren and the process kept me from dwelling on the grief too much. Of course I had the blessing of Horde prayers and good wishes which I know helped me get through those first couple of weeks.

Did it maybe help to move away from the shared home? I have a grieving friend who will not move, and who starts every morning having coffee where they had coffee, keeps the deceased's clothes where they were (even on the drying rack), and so much more. I believe this is keeping the wounds open.

Grief is very individual. My wife of 40 years died 9/23/20. I donated all her nice clothing before Christmas that year. I'm sure some thrift store shoppers appreciated the Coach bags and beautiful jackets and dresses. The house to me, does not depress me. We thrived and loved being here for 32 years and I miss her just as much when I travel anywhere else. We were so close and changing locale would not help.

IMHO, cheating in college football is impossible in this day and age… NIL means you can buy whatever team you want legally. Anything Michigan did last year was of little consequence…. I can’t imagine anything that would’ve changed game outcomes. The stuff that got SMU the death penalty in 1987 is now legal encouraged and widespread. What did I miss??

I don't believe Texas is reintroducing dangerous critters but here in DFW, they appear to be reintroducing themselves.

We are more or less in a metropolitan part of the city, and yet-

Twice I've seen very healthy and well-fed coyotes wandering the neighborhood at night.

i've seen two different families of very healthy and well-fed bobcats.

And I think at the nature preserve, I saw a mountain lion stalking through the brush. In any event, it was a very large and very sleek cat.

Right now, it's just vanishing dogs and cats but soon kids may be added to the menu. My sis told me about that issue when she lived in CA.

Aaaanyway, we terrible colonizers are living on their land, so it's okay and our fault.

In 2020, Michigan was on the ropes and Harbaugh was about to be fired. He accepted a humiliating pay cut and decided that he would win at any cost. First, he recruited during the Covid-related "dead period" when personal contact was forbidden, ostensibly to stop the spread. He was caught, lied about it, lied again, and continues to lie. The facts speak otherwise and there's a 48-page report on the NCAA web site to get you up to speed on that.

But that was small beans compared to the massive, multi-year in-person scouting scheme undertaken between 2020 and 2023, which not only sought to give Michigan a competitive edge against its foes, but hoped to rig the playoff selection by supplying other teams with opponents' signals so the "tree" could be stacked.

Downsizing from a home of 25 years, with him so sick, was horrible--still have four golf bags full of clubs he refused to let go, because when it got warm he was going to golf again, dammit!
The only good thing about that process was that I don't ever have to do it again, and it's done so I can't afford to regret any of the decisions made in stress.
I would say don't make any major decisions quickly, in full grief.
I have gone through a lot of his things, clothes, books, etc.
And some are just too much to do anything but keep right now.
I'll know when it's time to let them go.

Michigan's football program faces a Level I violation for loss of institutional control. This destroyed SMU.

It is also a repeat offender, which increases the severity of each offense. If you read the prior report it is utterly damning. The football program was on an island, and compliance staff had no idea what they were doing.

The FBI has confirmed it is involved in the Matt Weiss case, which has been strangely silent.

My belief is that the FBI is holding back to let the NCAA do its thing because the NCAA can actually compel testimony and the FBI cannot. Participation in NCAA activities carries and obligation to be honest to investigators and cooperate. There is no 5th Amendment. This allows the NCAA to obtain evidence that might otherwise be withheld in a criminal matter, but could subsequently be passed to the FBI.

As to the signs, understand that Michigan didn't just have signals, they had the entire playbook of selected teams, so would know each formation and its capabilities. Plus, you can only change signals so many ways.

Finally, cheating obviates everything, whether or not it is effective.

Downsizing from a home of 25 years, with him so sick, was horrible--still have four golf bags full of clubs he refused to let go, because when it got warm he was going to golf again, dammit!
The only good thing about that process was that I don't ever have to do it again, and it's done so I can't afford to regret any of the decisions made in stress.
I would say don't make any major decisions quickly, in full grief.
I have gone through a lot of his things, clothes, books, etc.
And some are just too much to do anything but keep right now.
I'll know when it's time to let them go.
A few of them are going to be on the "not today" list for a long time, and some forever.

441 437 I can't imagine leaving our house. We built it together. We had a ski house in mind: a couple of big gathering rooms, small bedrooms. There's even a niche between the great room and living room for my dollhouse and the kitchen cupboard my grandfather built for me when I was four.

Oh, the tea parties we had with grandchildren.

My twin grandsons say this is the house of their childhood. They're welcome any time.

And my husband is here. This is where the memories are. I can't picture myself leaving.

445 >>We're talking past each other.

Maybe we can agree that the DRAFT notice of allegations was the time for UM to attempt to negotiate a resolution and they chose not to.

A DRAFT notice of allegations includes the nature of the allegations and penalties prescribed, but does not include any evidence the NCAA investigators have uncovered to support the allegations.

The OFFICIAL notice of allegations does include that evidence. That was the point where the UM athletic director started to wobble from his previous stance of not negotiating and in a later radio interview indicated that the university will have to accept whatever penalties the NCAA will hand down.

UM can still offer to self-impose, as Iowa did with its head coach recently, and the NCAA investigation branch can sign off on it, but it would go to the COI who can reject it outright.

We have all found individual ways to deal with and get through our grief. The heart will find a way. Just be kind to yourself. It does get better.

447 Linus, please talk to any coach at any level and see if they think having the opposite teams signs and signals of what play they are going to call prior to the play is not an advantage. That is what Michigan did. And the rumor based on a lot of evidence is that Vegas got wind of what Michigan was doing , sent their own investigative firm, uncovered that a Michigan coach had hacked into practice footage video via opposing schools servers and downloaded the footage. That’s when the FBI was called in, a Michigan coach by the name of Weiss was fired by Michigan last January and his home was raided by FBI and Ann Arbor police and computers confiscated. Remember last January during the playoffs, Saban came out and refused to allow his players to review practice footage on iPads because he was warned of hacking by Michigan . There is a lot to this story that sports media has buried because of money.

I am sorry that you have it too, TT. Yes, it can be lonely and frustrating and a post on it would be a good idea.

450 I can't believe there is a follower of college football who believes that one team knowing, prior to the snap of the ball, what play the opposing team is going to run doesn't offer a significant advantage.

The mind, it's boggled.

452 One of the saddest days of my life was the day I was told that I'm allergic to coffee. (Or, to be precise, to one of the many substances to be found in coffee.) It was causing a rash that itched constantly.

So, I quit the brew, and the rash went away. I still miss coffee, but I most definitely do not miss itching constantly. Win a few, lose a few. I comfort myself with the thought that in heaven I'll have coffee again - and cigarettes.

144 Prayers up for those that have asked us for them;
Prayers up for those that know they need them but have not asked us for them;
Prayers up for those that need them but don’t know it yet; and
Prayers up for those who pray alone, asking for help in silence, and whose prayers are known but to God!
Prayers up even for all "our" politicians who have apparently decided that the 10% graft and power are far more desirable than honor or integrity, may they see the error of their ways and repent!
And lastly, prayers up for former (and hopefully future) President Trump, keep him safe from harm and may the many forces of evil arrayed against him and our country be made ineffective and come to naught!
