The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
Good morning Morons. Welcome to October. Before we get enter the prayer revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over> (Rulz for those of you in Escanaba) 1. This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate away.
2. Be kind, be nice and for heaven's sake, no jumping on the furniture.
3. Running with sharp objects is frowned upon. Seriously. It is.
4. 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:
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.
9/7 Update – Someone Else asked for more information about the clinic and location where this
treatment was possible, if LMD Outer Banker would be willing to post a comment with that information,
or let Annie’s Stew know so she can forward the information. Someone Else has a relative who has
suffered for years and was finally diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Someone Else’s relative also needs
prayers for healing.
9/14 Update – the Clinic is in Germany, under clinicum.st.georg. (The URL is https://www.klinik-st-
georg.de/en). It is extremely expensive. The son said for most of the people there it was life or death.
9/21 Update – CP offered to help with logistics of a Horde member needs to come to the clinic noted
here. He is stationed in Germany, within an hour of the clinic. He also knows people at the local U.S.
Consulate. He said he can’t promise speed, only friendly assistance and moral support. Contact Annie’s
Stew and she can help you get in contact with CP, if you are going to Germany for treatment.
8/23 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant requested continued prayers for J.J. Sefton. J.J. is feeling “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.
9/24 Update – J.J. posted that his last MRI was negative, which means that he is essentially cancer-
free. He has just started a 6-week course of chemo maintenance with regular MRIs to monitor for any
recurrence, presumably for the rest of his life. All things considered, his doctors are very upbeat that this
could be longer than the standard prognosis. He sends his thanks again to everyone for their prayers
and messages of support.
9/28 Update – J.J. said he just finished the first month of maintenance. It is amazing that it’s just a pill
that he takes at bedtime, 5 straight days per month, for 6 months. Now he has 3 weeks of until the next
round, and an MRI in the coming weeks.
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.
9/7 Update – Jewells and her husband had a tough weekend. Jewells had a lesion on her leg that hurt
so bad she couldn’t walk, and her husband had to drive himself to the ER. He was unable to urinate, and
in terrible pain. The problem was related to his prostate.
9/21 Update – Jewells’ husband got another catheter put back in on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he was
very lethargic and barely responsive, so she called 911. It turned out his sodium was dangerously low. If she’d waited, he probably would have had a seizure or slipped into a coma. He stayed at the hospital
overnight.
9/7 – Tonypete requested prayers for his lovely better half. She had an injury that resulted in 4-5 staples
in the back of her head. No permanent damage or serious injury, so they are thankful for that.
9/7 – Sal asked for continued prayers for Pooky’s girl, who is waiting for Lil’ Pooky to be induced (or not),
and prayers for her friend J, 80, who could use prayers for healing. J. tripped and face-planted on her
patio. She is home, but facing a longish recovery.
9/14 Update – Baby boy Pooky has arrived. Mom and baby are home.
9/7 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for healing for C, a member of her congregation, who is
undergoing cancer treatment (chemo right now). She has a positive attitude, but the chemo exhausts
her.
9/11 – Jmel asked for prayers for her sister, who was hospitalized, and sent thanks later in the day to
those who prayed. Her sister’s blood work is looking good.
9/14 – COMountainMarie had asked for prayers. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of
weeks ago.
9/14 – MH sent a prayer of thanks for the fire fighters and first responders for tackling the dangerous
“Davis Fire” in Reno, NV this past week.
9/14 – Sal asked for prayers for E and her 100-year-old mother, who is being moved into a new care
facility this week, that the move will not be too difficult and that she will adjust well.
9/16 – Teresa in Fort Worth asked for prayers for her husband’s coworker, Chuck. He is a young family
man in his 40s who received a diagnosis of colon cancer a few months ago, and things are looking pretty
bad right now. He had been receiving chemo in preparation for surgery, but now the tumor(s) are
intertwined with other organs, so they cannot safely operate. He and his wife divorced a few months
before the diagnosis, but she is still helping him out. His two adolescent sons are having a hard time
adjusting to all the upheaval. Chuck is planning to sell his house so he can move in with his dad, who is in
bad health as well.
9/16 – notsothoreau asked for prayers for a woman from church, R, and her family. R just lost her son to
suicide. He left a wife and 3 kids behind. There were no warning signs and R is in shock.
9/17 – PA Dutchman asked for prayers for his sister, Lori, and her husband, Fred. Fred just learned that
he has stage 4 lung cancer and there is nothing doctors can do for him.
9/18 – “…” asked for prayers for a friend, “J”, who was injured in a hit and run. He is left with back pain
and his arm is numb.
9/19 – Erebus asked for prayers for mom, whose years of suffering from Alzheimer’s are almost over. 9/21 – Commissioner Hrothgar offered prayers up for former (and hopefully future) President Trump, to
keep him safe from harm and that the forces of evil arrayed against him and our country be made
ineffective and come to naught.
9/21 – Tonypete asked for prayers for the owner of a local diner, Michelle, and her family at the death
of her son due to addiction-related ailments.
9/21 – Matthew Kant Cipher asked for prayers for the soul of Alex and Alex’ surviving family. Alex was a
fine young man who coached MKC’s son’s youth baseball team for a few years. Alex died in a single
vehicle crash this week, leaving behind a pregnant wife and two stepchildren.
9/21 – FenelonSpoke requested prayers for her son, K, to get a job related to his major, which was
horticulture. He has been diligently sending out resumes from searches online, but hasn’t heard
anything yet. Also, prayers for other morons and ‘ettes looking for jobs.
9/21 – vmom stabby stabby stabby asked for prayers for a young mom who works at her dentist’s office,
who is battling a stage 3 brain tumor.
9/21 – RedMindBlueState requested prayers for C, a the two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter of a
friend and fellow parishioner, who recently had a tumor removed from her spine.
9/23 – Lady in Black asked for prayers for her dad. He is 89 and has upcoming cataract surgery. The
cataracts are so bad, he is now legally blind. His surgery is 10/1 and he is very afraid and worried.
Prayers for his peace of mind, safety, and well-being during the surgery would be greatly appreciated.
9/27 – Joe Kidd would appreciate prayers for God’s tender mercies toward the soul of Joe’s older
brother Mike, who passed away on 9/26 from stomach cancer. Prayers for comfort toward his widow
Irene and adjust son Michael are also appreciated.
9/27 – Coelacanth asked for prayers for his son. In the last year, his son has been diagnosed with
fibromyalgia and another connective tissue disorder that can be severely limiting, and his most recent
job has a terribly toxic work environment. Despite this, the son has been pushing through. He has been
praying, but feels that God has abandoned him. The Horde’s prayers helped this son the last time;
please pray for him again.
9/28 – “Perfessor” Squirrel asked for prayers for a family of missionaries from his church, currently on
their way to Kenya to begin training Kenyans on how to engage in Christian missionary work in Africa.
The family includes the son-in-law, wife, and three small daughters of the pastor at the “Perfessor’s”
church. Prayers for their safety and success in their missionary work are appreciated.
9/28 – J.J. Sefton offered prayers for safety and a return to normalcy ASAP for those in and around the
area affected by Hurricane Helene.
9/28 – Tonypete requested prayers for his wife’s best buddy, Mike. Mike is on death’s door as a result of
bone cancer.
9/28 – mindful webworker welcomes prayers for minor surgery on his eyelid - for a successful snippage
and a quick recovery. 9/28 – Tacitus asked for prayers at the start of a new job. It’s a big step up.
9/30 – It’s me donna asked for prayers for her daughter. She has to have her thyroid removed because
of nodules. She is praying it’s not cancer.
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.

Had the internal ablation surgery Friday a.m., all went well. Thank-you for your prayers.
I do now have a follow up prayer request. During surgery they found an external source of afib on an outer wall of my heart. This will require a second, different, procedure be done, possibly as early as Monday. Doc should be by later today to finalize plans.

My dad had something similar going on. Surgeons found something on his heart while they were in there fixing a valve. They booked him for an ablation after he was healed up from the valve repair. Go in, zzzzt, come home. No fuss. Everything better. Pretty amazing, really.

Solutions:
1) Drink moar coffee so you use up the cream faster;
2) Switch to Heavy Cream which usually comes in smaller quantities!
Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar at October 05, 2024 08:17 AM (rOtXe)
Oddly, I never got that when I was in Boot Camp but I suspect the stress filled environment gave me other things to focus on.
As for prayers: A while back, I'd asked for prayers to be sent for my mother in law who was getting biopsies done on a couple of masses on her chest. They both turned out to be non-cancerous and she has started radiation treatment at her local hospital.

3) Rationalize it that you're not paying $X for Y ounces of creamer. You're paying $X for the freedom and opportunity to use as much or as little of it as you choose before it goes bad.

You can freeze heavy cream and milk.
Coffee creamer? I don't see why not.
Have you tried convenience store brand creamer. Here in the midwest Kwik Trip is a huge chain. They sell their own brand of creamer in 16oz bottles.

Next week is new tankless water heater time. The current one (gas) is showing no sign of distress but was 20 when we moved in 16 years ago. I misread the date originally and finally caught it during my yearly quick check. Do not want the mess associated with a failure so will spend the $6k to replace it. I already did the furnace 3 years ago so this will take care of the capital improvements.

Part of me wants to grab my radio gear and head up into the hills this morning, but the other part of me says I should take it easy. I've felt "off" for a few days and I went to the doctor on Tuesday because I was feeling light headed. Everything came back fine, and sometimes I feel OK, but other times I just am not sure. Meh, guess I'll keep going until I either (a) feel better, (b) have more definitive symptoms, or (c) suddenly keel over dead.

whereas people say 'a toasted bagel' or 'a toasted English muffin' to be definitive

A few years ago I took a handed down Betty Crocker cookbook and examined the recipe for ice cream. Using some math I estimated the fat percentage of whole milk and the cream used in the recipe. I then took a look at the percentage fat in half and half and it was nearly exactly the same.
So I am sure you can freeze half and half without degradation.

Do you think it could be allergies? We are having a super heavy pollen year because of higher than normal amounts of rain and lower than normal summer temperatures (i.e., no 100-degree days). Lots of people who don't usually notice pollen levels are having symptoms this year. When my allergies are really bad I can feel kind of lightheaded and even a little achy.

I've made outstanding ice cream with half and half with homemade vanilla extract. If my memory serves the correct fat percentage from my 1950's cookbook for ice cream of whole milk and cream was 19% while half and half is 18%.

On twitter Harris' people are trying to push the idea that people walk out of Trump rallies early, which is supposed to mean something other than "I got to see him, and now I have to get back to work/pick up kids at school/eary day tomorrow, etc."
Someone at CNN still has a functioning brain and pointed out that no incumbent has ever been re-elected when only 28% of the people think the country is on the right track. The lowest was 39% for Clinton in 1996.
I suspect the polls (which are obviously manipulated) will start to move because the steal is likely too much of a lift at this point.

I am remembering the Lahaina fire, and how the fatality count was absurdly low (and there were something like 800 schoolkids missing), and it wasn't until months later, after the press had moved on, that the number was increased.
One thing the affected states have is that so many volunteer resources are able to get there (unlike Lahaina) and they are making progress despite the feds. AMericans are amazing, and I'd love to hear more about stuff like this:

I have what might seem like a silly prayer request, but it is still dear to my heart. Our little church is having a rummage sale today to raise money because the township has still not paid us for the land which they purchased for open space (Grrrrr!) and we are near the end of our funds. Thanks so much! Maybe you could also say a prayer that the township would get in posterior in gear. ( sigh).

I've reached out to Mike Hammer.
His voice mail box is full.
I've emailed him. With no response.
I don't have any contact info for Asheville Robert.
I was hoping the day walkers might have more info on these folks. There are some other NC Morons as well, I don't know about either.

Maybe. But, this is a page right out of Obama's playbook.
Withholding FEMA support. Closing down power stations with no replacement. Denying increasing the water supply through new reservoirs. Etc. in states that didn't vote for him.

The pollsters all get judged as to quality on their last poll before the election. So they can't be Harris +7, +7, +7, +7 and then on their last poll go, oh, by the way, we're now Trump +2.
They have to ease into it. So expect more reality in the coming weeks. Ras yesterday had Trump +7 with a margin of error of 5.

Being a whistleblower.
People think federal employees are bullet-proof, but motivated political appointees will blast through all of that to push people out. Sure, there will be lawsuits, but it takes a toll and if you're suspended without pay pending termination, money is hard to come by.

I think it's already been discussed, but the junta's been moving illegals secretly from areas near the border to "red" towns and cities in an effort to destabilize them.
Springfield, OH for example. Although there's an argument to be made there that the local/city government was compromised (bribed) to take the Haitians.
Still, there's video of illegals being bussed to airports, put on planes and flown out to parts unknown daily.

However, I am reminded of the hymn writer Fanny Crosby, who became blind because of medical practice as a toddler. She is the author of the great hymn, Blessed Assurance. She went to school and later worked at a school for the blind in NY. She said that she didn't mind being blind because it meant that the first thing she would see in glory would be her dear Savior's face. I think that is a wonderful POV and I am grateful for her Christian faith and her poetic ability.

Our problem in NJ is the large cities, Newark, Camden, Trenton and most of the urban areas of North Jersey. They vote for Santa Claus. Also, NJ, because of it's heavy industrial past, is a bastion for labor unions. Those people will vote Dem no matter what. Throw in the two most powerful unions, the state workers and the teachers union, and there is no way a conservative will ever win high office. Squishes will. True conservatives? Never.

Turns out, a lot of Tribal people work in Oil and Gas drilling there and were not pleased by his move. In 2020 the Navajo nation leadership endorsed Trump. I suspect this time the average members will pay more attention to that.

This. A thousand times this.
Back when the big ice storm hit Kansas City (Jan 30 2002), we were without power for 5 days. The linemen showed up in our neighbourhood. I fired up the propane camping burner, and got the coffee started in the percolator. When it was done, I went out to their trucks with a batch of coffees and a stack of Hershey's bars and offered them to the crew.
The foreman of the crew looked gobsmacked and told the lift operator to bring the man in the bucket down, and they all gathered around, took a coffee, and some chocolate bars.
"Guys, I'm just so glad to see you all in my neighbourhood, I wanted to do a little something for you."
'You have no idea how much this means to us, thank you!'
"Wait, this isn't common?"
'Nope. Usually it's pissed off customers demanding to know why we took so long to get to them.'

1). Pennsylvania is the state with the 2nd highest property damage from flooding in the nation
2). Most Pennsylvania residents have witnessed first hand damage from flooding
3). Pennsylvania is about the most important state that Harris has to win
4). Pennsylvania residents should observe carefully what the FEMA response (or lack of) is to the residents of Appalachia
5). The Appalachia Mountain range runs through Pennsylvania

Eh, "white savior myth" is a Leftist trope that really doesn't give the flavor of what's going on with this particular story, though it's there.
Basically, I see the WSM as a way to insert an American in a story for to get the attention(and money) of American audiences for a story they'd almost certainly have no interest in. Saigo Takimori story is a very very Japanese one.
That's a long way of saying, I have no problem with WSM as a tool. Would the movie be any less 'saviory" with Denzel Washington in the part? No, it would not.
Plus, if you've watched enough foreign films you'll see other cultures/races do the same thing with sticking "their representative" in a foreign story/history.

It exactly describes the film. The story could have been told through Western eyes by using the narrative form of "Doctor Zhivago," where we see things through an American's eyes but he is not driving the story.
Instead Hollywood created this leftist trope of a guy - an American Civil War hero filled with self-loathing over the Indian Wars who goes to Japan to find a more moral and pure culture - that is also completely oppressive of the peasants.
Is there anything more reactionary than having the elites practice swordplay and write poems while the workers toil away in the fields? I note the film didn't address that the continual expansion of Samurai status (via marriage) meant that the peasant-samurai ration was reaching the point where famine among the peasants was a recurring problem.
Terrible, very historically inaccurate film.

Everything is a threatening impact on our lives.
Things like FedGov and FEMA make it worse.

It buys heavily into the "prima noctum" myth which has zero basis in reality. Not a fan.
The larger point is that you get some movies whose very premise is so ahistorical and asinine that it wrecks the rest of it because you can't get past it.
"1917" was like this for me. The premise was ludicrous and that made the rest of it just a waste of time.

I thought a tropical depression was when you blow out your flip-flop, step on a pop top, and have to cruise on back home.

Every week a geography lesson!
Best wishes to y'all for this day.
Had a nice leash-less walk with Daisy Dog in the bright morning light. Might call it perfect except for how drought-stricken the lawn is. Need a great, big pipeline from the flood zones to the West.

Which is kinda like saying the Hindenburg was chock full of some structural flaws.
But at least the Hindenburg was fun to watch.

In other words our tax dollars are going to be used to pay for the rockets HizbAllah will use to try to murder our allies. "Humanitarian."
Fuck you, Tony, you incompetent fuck.

A small prayer simply that we can fix the formatting on the list for greater legibility next week.
I'm on the list, I see. Eyelid surgery went smoothly, thanks, and I will (probably) get the stitches out on Tuesday. Looks like a terrible black eye right now. I say, you shoulda seen the other guy!
Prayers especially for spiritual healing for those who are sick in mind and spirit, especially those who are truly misinformed and misguided, and as a consequence estranged from good family.

'Toxic' Masculinity is *awesome*.
A few days after our crazy windstorm (mid-June last year, 70-80mph and gusts maybe over 100mph) I was waiting in an office and another lady who was an office employee of the local power co, who mentioned some of the guys working on downed power lines had been getting IVs to re-hydrate.

Oh good grief, you're a writer.
Surely, you realize(as is proper for an American audience) that TLS is Tom Cruise's story not Saigo Takimori's stand-in's story.
It isn't even a WSM story because Tom Cruise's character is saved by the Japanese he meets and Japanese culture. A broken man become whole again.
But, even if Tom Cruise never showed up in the movie, the Saigo Takimori story is highly distorted.
Like an above commenter, I go to movies for entertainment. TLS did the job for me. I don't go or expect a completely true, completely unbiased historical review.
A more recent example of the same thing would be "Shogun", which was a highly distorted story of real Japanese historical figures with name changes and combinations, and ahistorical events, that featured an Englishman, who's story it really was, as the Westerners' entrance to a Japanese story setting they normally would've probably had zero interest in.
In any event, I think WSM is a silly complaint as other nations and cultures distort and insert their entrance character into historical settings. Why not us?
