The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

Yes, there are sick people like this. Let us pray you are not one of them........

Happy first Saturday of Spring. This area of the frozen tundra still has 13" of ice on yours truly's lake.

Before we enter the Prayer Revival, just a few housekeeping matters. (Rulez for those of you in Sheboygan.)

1) This is an open thread, feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind, be nice. The ban hammer is in the shop for repairs. Or is it?
3) If you must run with sharp objects don't expect sympathy when it all goes wrong.
D) Have a great weekend!

*****

God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Matthew 10:32-33:
"Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven."

This is mild compared to what are Christian brethren are experiencing in the ME.

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:
1/11 – Our Country is Screwed asked for prayers. He is having a double mastectomy. (He notes: Yes, male breast cancer is a thing!) He is fortunate that it appears to be localized. Another request is for an aunt (age 70+) who is facing lung cancer and having part of her lung removed. She is scared and needs prayers too.
3/1 Update – He is going to Dana Farber Cancer Institute this week. Radiation is definite, and chemo is not sure, but probably both. The cancer was caught in time and the prognosis is great. It’s a lot of stress for Mrs. OCiS. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. Prayer works. Their daughter had cancer last year, and now this – there is no way they could have gotten through all of this without prayers.
1/18 – Jrgunn77 requested prayers for health, which was fine a few months ago, but recently has been his with extremely high BP spikes, anxiety attacks, constant headaches, and hernia troubles. Jrgunn is on meds for the BP and anxiety, scheduled for a colonoscopy, and has referrals for a cardiologist and neurologist. These out of the blue anxieties are the worst. Jrgunn also asked for prayers for a friend from church, Rodney, who has recently suffered lung failure and is on oxygen, to come home from the hospital, and Pastor Ben and his brother, for comfort after the passing of their little sister from drug addiction.
3/8 Update – Pneumonia has cleared, and the neurologist is treating him for Parkinsonian tremor. The CT scan showed 3 hernias. The BP, head pressure, and physical strength is better and he was able to work a couple of hours. Rodney is awake, but has intestinal bleeding. They are still waiting for test results, and if they are bad, he will be knocked off the transplant list. He’s still on 100% oxygen.
3/8 Update – Lester Fahrner posted that BP spikes and anxiety needs lab and urine tests for carcinoid tumor and pheochromocytoma.
3/15 Update – Rodney was placed on the official transplant list on 3/12. On 3/15, he received donor lungs during a 14 hour surgery. Now prayers are for his recovery and for God’s provision for the avalanche of medical bills.
1/31 – Bif Bewalski gave an update on Smash. The blood work confirmed that she does not have pancreatitis. They gave her fluids, 3 types of digestive system meds via IV, and then ignored her for 8 hours. Anyway, she is home and feeling better.
3/1 Update – Smash update: still having some distressing abdominal and digestive issues. Gastro specialist appointment is the 3rd week of March, and that’s just the new patient appointment. She can eat soft, easy to digest food in small portions, but still has swelling, gas, etc. Thank you all for the prayers.
2/8 – MammaB asked for prayers. She said she needs surgery, and has been preparing for it for several months, jumping through the hoops put up by the clinic and insurance. Last Wed. she was told everything was complete and she could have surgery in 8-10 weeks. On 2/7, the surgeon’s office threw up another roadblock, one that is very difficult to manage. She is feeling discouraged and asks for the Horde’s prayers.
3/1 Update – On 2/24, the surgeon agreed to her surgery. On 2/28, she received insurance authorization, and it is scheduled for 3/26. Thank you all for your prayers. She has had months of jumping through hoops.
2/15 – Ben Had asked for continued prayers for Jim Sunk New Dawn. He hasn’t been on the ONT for a while now.
2/22 Update – Doof heard from Jim SND and posted an update. Jim SND says he is doing OK and is in good spirits, all things considered. He’s just struggling to keep up with things here on the blog due to physical limitations. Doof plans to keep checking on him. Jim SND definitely appreciates our prayers and support.
3/7 Update – Jim Sunk New Dawn sent an update to Weird Dave. Jim SND sends his greetings and thanks for the prayers. He can’t reply to everyone; his 80 wpm is now about 8. He can barely type, and chewing is even tough. He says he is a walking skeleton. He is getting full benefits from the VA, so that helps with ADA mods to the house, healthcare, etc.
2/18 – Teresa in Fort Worth asked for prayers for her husband’s niece, Amanda, who has just been put on the waiting list for another new heart. After 4 years with her first donor heart, her body is starting to reject it. She is only 40 years old, and has had heart issues her entire adult life. Please pray that Amanda’s body would stay well long enough for her to have another transplant. And also prayers for the family of this as-yet-unknown donor. Amanda knows full well what her receiving a new heart “means” to the donor family.
3/4 Update – Amanda still needs prayers. St. Luke’s cannot give her a second heart, so they have turned to Methodist in Houston, hoping that they will be able to handle her complex case.
2/22 – neverenoughcaffiene asked that we keep 3 week old Isaac in our prayers. RSV has him intubated and in the ICU. His parents and 5 sisters could use a few prayers as well.
3/1 Update – Baby Isaac is out of ICU and doing great. He and his mom will stay with relatives when he’s released since the rest of the family has the flu. Thank you all for your prayers, we all know they work miracles.
2/27 – Ciampino’s daughter asked for prayers for Ciampino. They are not sure what is wrong yet, but they had to call an ambulance to take him to the hospital. He was very weak and couldn’t walk or even stand up. The hospital has been giving him fluids, and he is more responsive now. Thank you for the prayers.
3/8 Update – Home now. Getting stronger, but still easily winded. Finally had a long sleep. Thank you all for your prayers. Love you.
3/15 Update – Thank you to everyone who prayed for Ciampino. No more surgery was needed, but an abscess was drained of 4800 ml. Appetite is returning slowly.
2/27 – Katja requested prayers for Karla, who is in her 20s and in need of a miracle and/or a kidney donor, as hers are in stage 4 kidney failure. Her family is trying to find a donor because if she’s just added to the general list, it looks like a wait of 4-5 years, and it’s extremely questionable whether she can wait that long.
3/1 – antisocial justice beatnik would appreciate some prayers for Mom, who is continuing to suffer terribly from a botched medical procedure back in mid-Dec. Mom was rushed from her rehab facility to ER on 2/28, then back to the hospital that botched her care in Dec. Antisocial justice beatnik and Dad are doing their best to support her and each other, but Dad has his own existing medical issues to worry about, and AJB’s FMLA is running out.
3/8 Update – Mom is stable but continues to suffer with a horrific bed wound and blood clots in her legs. She will be bedridden for the foreseeable future. Dad is still having medical issues but is still mobile. AJB and Dad still take shifts to visit Mom. AJB also figures s/he will be looking for another job soon, so has found a resume and will start applying.
3/15 Update – It was a rough week. For the first part of the week, Mom spent every waking moment groaning in agony from osteomyelitis due to her bed sores. The pain has been better controlled the last few days.
3/1 – Madam Mayhem sent her thanks for the prayers for her niece’s husband, T, a young man in his 30s. We had prayed for him after his heart attack. He has recovered and there was only minimal damage. She also asked for prayers for Hubbymayhem, who is battling kidney stones and a UTI. The urology center did not catch it right away – they did scans for stones and bladder cancer instead of a simple urine culture. The antibiotics are underway, but he’s been suffering with it for a while.
3/8 Update – Thanks to everyone for the prayers for Hubbymayhem. He is recovered and back to his usual ornery and lecherous self! Thank God!
3/1 – Jewells send an update – she had surgery on her arm. A week after that, she came down with influenza A and pneumonia. So she has been pretty sick and weak.
3/1 - thefritz requests prayers for his friend Jeff, his wife, and two children. Jeff’s pancreatic cancer has spread to his liver. They have stopped chemo and moved him to home hospice.
3/17 Update – Jeff succumbed to pancreatic cancer on 3/16. Please pray for his wife and two grown children.
3/3 – Lizzy requested prayers for her father, whose health has taken a dive. They were taking him to the hospital, but it may well be that his body is exhausted, and the fight is over.
3/6 – Bulg asked for prayers. He is planning to send a conciliatory letter to his only sister, who has been estranged for 20 years. There had been a family breakup over the parents’ estate. The sister has begun communicating with Bulg’s brothers, so he is going to try and reestablish contact. Prayers that his attempt will be successful are appreciated.
3/6 – Toad-O asked for prayers for a son-in-law, his mother, and the rest of the family. The mother is in the hospital with severe lung damage and her survival is uncertain. The mother’s mother just died of a similar illness. Also, her husband is also in the hospital with a ruptured colon. All of these things hit in the same week, and the impact has been devastating. A miracle is desperately needed.
3/8 Update – The mother passed away on 3/8, on her 61st birthday. As you can imagine, the family is devastated. Prayers for comfort in this time of sorrow are requested.
3/8 – Misanthropic Humanitarian offered a prayer. “Dear Father, Thank you for sparing Donald J. Trump’s life in Butler, PA. Thank you for a President who loves his country and is trying to do everything he can to improve our citizens lives. We often come to you with our troubles and not to you as often as we should when we should be thankful. We pray through Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.”
3/8 - Tonypete asked for prayers for K and Mr. X. K started dating Mr. X, and he is a very nice gentleman, but he mentions his late wife in every other sentence. It’s starting to wear on K.
3/8 – Ben Had asked for continued prayers for AZ deplorable as he works to get his strength back.
3/8 – Retired Buckeye Cop asked for prayers for his younger brother, J. He has been a police officer at a local Catholic university for 26 years. Due to internal politics, the police chief has informed J that his position (Captain) is being phased out as of 6/30 and he needs to seek employment elsewhere. May J find a new job soon.
3/8 – Piper asked for prayers for a close friend who has breast cancer. It’s already at stage 3 when it was discovered. She has chemo, surgery, and radiation coming up. She is a mom, with a son age 12. Her husband is being a trooper, but it’s hard.
3/8 – Cosda posted good news. Two years ago, we prayed for a sister who had colon cacner and was undergoing surgery and chemo. That was successful. On 3/7, her checkup showed that she was still cancer free. Thank you for the prayers and thank God for the healing.
3/13 – Teresa in Fort Worth’s health continues to improve with her cancer treatments. Her CA19-9 results continue to go down, which is great news.
3/15 – Grammie Winger updated that Rev is still weak, but he is eating and his spirits are good.
3/15 – Fenelon Spoke requested prayers for the daughter of their beloved, retired, organist. The daughter is a dear woman on her second bout of cancer and is having treatments. Thanks so much!
3/15 – Smell the glove sent thanks for the prayers. The aunt is doing well with her treatment for colon cancer.
3/15 – MkY asked for continued prayers for his wife, Judy, who was diagnosed with stage IV renal cancer 2 months ago. She is getting immunotherapy, along with another drug that is supposed to enhance immunotherapy. She is very weak, and they don’t know if the various issues she is having is due to the cancer(s) or the drugs. Probably both. In early April, she is due for another CT scan with contrast (which hurts). If the tumors have not shrunk, they will probably start alternative therapies.
3/20 – L asked for continued prayers for her daughter, Shannon. She is the Franciscan sister, who was traveling to Cleveland for surgery. The operation was a success! It involved replacement of two valves, and repair to aortic aneurysm. The surgery was 3/11, and she was released 3/18. She is staying with her aunt, a retired nurse, this week, and will go to her sister’s house for continued recovery next week. L and her husband have not seen her in person, since they came down with a bad flu, but have visited via a video call, and can see improvement. L sends her thanks for the prayers. Shannon appreciated it, L appreciated it, and it helped keep them all calmer.

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.

And before we close it up for the day. How about a prayer for men with significant others? I think we should.

One of my next-door neighbors is a prison minister. We've talked about it, and the prison ministry is a step in getting those convicts to respect themselves.

If you don't respect yourself, your not going to respect others.

24 Morning Horde. Baby Isaac was released from the hospital. Not sure if he's home or still with relatives. When they released him he was still on oxygen since one lung had collapsed twice. That's a lot for a little guy to deal with. I hope to have an update on him soon. Thanks for all of your prayers.

I got to call and talk to him and it was like old times. Was a nice surprise.

97 Iowa, a dairy state, was once very protective of their industry. My dad said margarine could only be sold un-dyed, so it was white. The margarine cabal got around this by including a little orange dye packet, to be kneaded into the ersatz product to make it appear more food-like.

Got the 1st gastro appt finished yesterday. They are going to run an upper GI series of tests to confirm whether or not a previous surgery back in 2003 timeframe has allowed fluid to settle onto the upper stomach, causing all the issues.

We both spent last week dieing from Flu-A, but I overachieved and mine went to Pneumonia. Gahhhh, worse than covid. Last night was the first night both of us went without a fever all night. Definitely on the mend.

119 We watched Hillbilly Elegy last night. Ms G read the book last week and said hey let's watch the movie.

It was pretty good, but I had to look up when it debuted. 2020 was the year, but that would mean the writing of the screenplay, the casting, the whole production plan would have been at least a year before, so maybe sometime in 2018 this thing got rolling. I was curious about the political side of it all.

That timing puts the whole thing before Vance even became a politician. He may even have been anti-Trump when he got involved in the film. He's credited with being an executive producer.

CO gray wolf reintroduction program update:

One of the fifteen collared and tracked wolves that had been released in Grand County (north central CO) in the last two years made its way to northern Wyoming where it killed five sheep on a ranch. Wildlife officials in Wyoming shot and killed the wolf and returned it and its collar to CO DPW. It's not clear if the Wyoming rancher will be reimbursed for his livestock loss as is done with CO ranchers who have lost sheep or cattle to wolves.

UPDATE: DC District Court Judge James Broasberg has ordered Wyoming officials to reanimate the dead wolf and return it to Wyoming immediately with a green card and $1000 cash bonus and a change of clothes..

164 Muldoon, we have a similar program here in Eastern NC, but with red wolves. Reintroduced and protected, but blessedly their population has declined from about 120 in 2010 to maybe a dozen now. Hit by cars, shot by farmers, etc. They also interbreed with coyotes, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of the program. People who live here didn't want this. Guess having your pets and livestock eaten is not popular with most people. Does the gray wolf interbreed with coyotes?

Saw "The Day the Earth Blew Up" yesterday.

A very good return (mostly) to the Looney Tunes of yore involving Daffy Duck and Porky Pig with Porky's love, Petunia Pig showing up for the fun.

One thing they did that I really like is that they restored Daffy Duck's "looney" personality, which Chuck Jones ruined by turning him into a greedy, grasping Scrooge-type character.

The plot involves a variation on "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" movie. And they have a lot of fun with the horror, action adventure and cartoon tropes. The animation pays homage to the various styles WB has used through the years, mostly concentrating on the 30s-40s style.

The movie starts with a Daffy/Porky origin story. You even get to learn how Porky got his stutter.

A lot of fun. You'll smile and laugh throughout. No sucker punches. All this movie wants to do is make you laugh and entertain you.

Take the kiddos and and grand kiddos to this instead of the weird Communist version of Snow White stinking up screens around the country.

Check it out esp. if you're a Looney Tunes fan.

188 The 1997 Balanced Budget Act, responding to fears of rising costs due to a physician surplus, capped residency training funds at their 1997 level, where they remained for 25 years. A hospital already training 20 residents could keep its 20 residency slots, but the government would not allow it to hire or train more doctors. Nor could new donors or hospitals create new residency training programs. The total number of medical residents — 98,258 in 1997 — was virtually locked in.

237 Does the gray wolf interbreed with coyotes?

Generally not, though that used to be the theory on the genesis of the Red Wolves, interbreeding.

238 Trump is treating security clearances like they should be treated - a need-to-know function, not a patent of nobility.

Part of the overclassification of documents is to prevent those who lack a clearance to have anything to do with government.

It is fully appropriate to remove it when one no longer is an essential employee. The idea that people ten or more years removed from employment would keep it is asinine, particularly when they are notoriously corrupt and no non-connected person could keep it under those circumstances.

I saw that there's a fair amount of shorting going on with Tesla, which I suppose is to be expected, however-

I believe if anyone involved in the commission of terrorism against Tesla or more to the point, financing the terrorist activities of folks like Indivisible is shorting Tesla, that is illegal as hell stock manipulation, which should mean prison time.

And the terrorist/participants/ eggers-on have already admitted multiple times that their activities are meant to crash Tesla stock and drive it out of business.

Not a lawyer, however that seems exactly correct to me.

The hard-core crowd are not an electoral majority. Most of the folks who voted for it were marginally interested and went with what sounded nice to them. When costs mount, these will shift.

Trump's decision to surround him with spokesbabes is designed to help push this preference cascade, and make conservatism and MAGA aesthetically attractive and socially desireable. We are already seeing the huge shift among young men, and the women will follow suit eventually.

I guess I don't understand why lawyers have security clearances.

Either you work for the government or you don't. If you're a defense contractor, I can understand having security clearances, but the only thing I can imagine a lawyer needing to have access to secrets, would be if those secrets are otherwise illegal.

how-congress-created-the-doctor-shortage/
Posted by: rhennigantx

*********

I took a quick look at the article. They seem to be overemphasizing the fact that that there are more med school graduates than there are residency slots, and that is the reason for a supposed doctor shortage. (assuming that there really is a doctor shortage.

A couple thoughts:

1. Who or what determines what the "right number" of physicians is or should be? Maybe the schools are happy to crank out graduates because butts in seats - $$$$. The various specialties have some say-so in how many residents get trained for their specialty each year.
2. Rather than a shortage of doctors I would propose that we have a maldistribution of doctors. Med school graduates tend to prefer the higher profile specialties along with the big bucks incomes. So there may be fewer primary practice physicians than "needed". These days a lot of FP's opt to become hospitalists and don't see office patients.
3. Primary care providers are more and more likely to be NPs than MDs.
4. Obamacare has led to a surge in practice closures and early retirement

308 If these domestic terrorists are caught, is there a way to have a quick speedy trial, take everything they own and ship them to El Salvadore within a few days?

Considering the number of them, it might just be easier to set up up bait cars and hunt them.

And can Soros, and others be stripped of everything for supporting them?

I'd also like to see judges and prosecuters charged for supporting domestic terrorists too.

Sorry, still first coffee....

310 There also seems to be a trend of medical practices staffed entirely by nurse practitioners with at best an absentee physician who is the nominal "medical director" but without actual involvement in day-to-day operations. This is particularly noticeable in psychiatric practices. Lots of LCSW's and PNP-BC's and psychologists.

312 My medical insurance is through Kaiser and is eally big here in the DMV. I would say 80% of the GPs are foreign trained, mostly Asia and Africa. Is it bigoted to want my PCP to have been trained in the US?

314 Health care has become a profit center for the insurance companies. Who oddly enough have a "managed cartel" on state access through the state insurance boards while investing heavily in hospitals, clinics and pharmacies

I do think it has turned the Doctors and the patients from being consumers and clients of the insurance companies to being the resource base for the insurance companies.

315 The whole "we're running out of resources" crowd are Communists who want a reason to enforce scarcity.

Julian Simon proved that with winning his bet.
But that wasn't the point of the bet:
The only true scarcity is human ingenuity.

Which also explains population controls and their fervent defense of abortion--their master knows the He made this a world of plenty, that only man can make it poor.

No, I didn't think it was applicable.

The three talents are about a deposit of faith. Jesus isn't telling people to become venture capitalists, he is telling them to go forth and spread the Good News.

If you interpret it materially, that's how you get the Prosperity Gospel.

Meanwhile, medical costs are out of control (thanks, Obamacare), and a person of modest means is financially crushed by a serious health crisis. I don't know how this gets fixed.

We need an Elon Musk type to overhaul American health care.

Yes, and blaming CEOs is about distracting people from this truth. Health care is one of the most heavily regulated areas of the economy out there. The notion that CEOs have plenary power to do anything is absurd.

It's yet another example of the left doing it's time-tested scapegoating/distraction from its own crimes.

It is by now blindingly obvious that Marxism was never about economics and always about destroying faith in God. That's why it never dies, is never proven false, because it is fueled by the demonic desires of envy and wrath. Lately lust has been added in with a dash of gluttony.

White Christian Nationalism was a desperate attempt to create a bogeyman and scare people away from returning to God. "You won't want to be with those RACISTS, do you???"

This is why appeals to facts and reason are of only limited utility and libertarianism is ultimately self-defeating.

I notice that "Christ is King" is once more being declared code for Nazis or something, just in time for Lent.

It was a back-handed way of thanking Ace because his plugs really boosted sales.

Crass commercialism aside, though, I felt he'd really like the books based on what he was saying about Star Wars. I was really surprised that he did it, so I felt it should be recognized.
