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:
9/6 – Jewells45 had bad news and needs prayers. Her CT scan indicated several nodes on her lungs, too many to count. It is very probable that she has lung cancer. Her husband is devastated, and she is scared to death.
10/5 Update - She is at stage 5 and has some in her bones, mostly around the spine and rib cage. Her doctor is phenomenal. He said he can’t cure her, but he can treat her and says she could live many more years. Treatment will involve chemo and immunotherapy.
10/6 Update – The PET scan of her bones was not nearly as bad as she feared. It should be manageable with radiation. She is very relieved!
10/8 Update – Jewells sends prayers for all her horde friends and continued thanks for your prayers. She is at stage 4, but the oncologist (who is fantastic) says it is treatable, and Jewells isn’t going anywhere for a while! Her brain MRI is 10/20 (prayers please, that this hasn’t spread). She gets her port put in on 10/17. 9/10 – Greyman27 requests prayers for his lumbar fusion surgery on 9/15, his third surgery in 19 years to fix low back/nerve issues. He is hopeful that this turns out to be the permanent fix his surgeon believe it will be.
10/19 Update – Greyman27 sends a sincere thank you for your prayers. The surgery went well, and the follow-ups have been very encouraging. He’s experienced excellent improvement over the last two weeks. 9/15 – SanFranpsycho asked for prayers for an immediate and speedy recovery for his cousin Phyllis, who was seriously injured in a fall this week at her assisted living center. She is almost 90 and lost her front teeth and broke her nose.
10/8 Update – Phyllis is out of skilled nursing and recovering back at her assisted living home. Her cognitive decline is noticeable. 9/17 – SanFranpsycho asks for prayers for complete and immediate healing of his friend Paul, who learned he has a malignant tumor on his pancreas. Paul has been his closest friend for his entire life – since the first day of kindergarten over 50 years ago.
10/8 Update – Paul has a port in and begins his first round of chemo next week. SanFranpsycho will visit him next month. 9/24 – Sua Sponte asked for prayers. His friend’s sister-in-law was murdered recently (domestic violence) and the rest of the family needs prayer. A fundraiser is available at https://www.gofundme.com/f/terry-chermak-funeral-and-domestic-abuse-fund. Sua Sponte sends his thanks for those people out there who pray. 9/25 – BurtTC and his wife could use some prayers, individually and for their marriage.
10/1 Update – they have separated. 10/1 – B has been managing heart disease for 17 years, and just has been diagnosed with liver cancer. He requests prayers for himself, his wife, and anyone who has suffered a double blow like this. 10/1 – Taqyia2Me needs prayers for his mother-in-law, Addie, and his wife Nora. Addie suffered a heart attack in late July, then fell and broker her arm in August. She also suffers from increasing memory loss. Nora was with her when she fell, and blames herself. Addie was in rehab for 4-5 weeks but was discharged last Monday. I pray for improvement. Nora is completely broken by this. 10/3 – Sarah Hoyt requested prayers for CACS, RES’s beloved spouse. “…the return of her cancer went undetected, and is now quite dangerous.” https://accordingtohoyt.com/2022/10/03/prayer-request/ 10/4 SanFranpsycho asked for prayers for peace for Mrs. F., who is so upset that her dad is back in the hospital and may not recover.
10/8 Update – Mrs. F’s father is discharged home on hospice. They are hoping to make his exit peaceful and surrounded by family.
10/18 Update – Mrs. F’s father passed away on 10/17. Please pray for Mrs. F. and the kids, who lost their granddad. 10/9 – Teresa in FW asked for prayers for Rebecca, who will be staying with them, as she undergoes a hip replacement. 10/10 – B asked for prayers that he would be able to save his granddaughter, Adriana Grace. She has been repeatedly abused by her parents, and B is fighting the State of TN to save her. 10/12 – 496 asked for prayers. His wife is closing on a condo and they will be moving her out over the next 2 days. She will need strength going forward as she navigates living alone. They have been together for 20+ years, and neither of them is all that happy about the split. 10/13 – Count de Monet could use prayers for healing from Bell’s Palsy. His symptoms are moderate or more. He is thankful for God’s protection and blessings, and the power of prayer. 10/13 – Nurse Ratched asked for prayers for Marine Ratched, who had a back injury. 10/14 – Madamemayhem asked for prayers for T and family, as T’s sister (aged 63) literally dropped dead. 10/19 – Ellipses (…requests prayers for a friend, Bev. She has been through the wringer for the last 10 years, only to end up with breast cancer last year, which is being treated, and now… she needs a kidney. She is basically reduced to asking around for one, which doesn’t work well. Any prayers you can put up for her situation would be appreciated. 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.

My plan is to drop in on the Pet Thread a little earlier this p.m. In the meantime, those of you in Corsicana, enjoy yourselves! Maybe I'l be able to make it next year!
Will there be a recap thread, with or without pics, once the MoMe is over?

Fall baths for Dan, Dutchess and Val yesterday. Sonny and Finn are scheduled for today.
Dan is a true minus mind. He's the big, hulking alpha dog of the kennel but get him on a grooming table or in a tub and he's Baby Huey. Nitwit.

A reminder that one of the most powerful spiritual weapons in our arsenal is the Rosary. I've been very bad about saying them in the past, but I'm getting better with it. I find some Gregorian chant in the background helps calm and focus the mind.

But we have to play out this hand. There is always a chance that things will work out. The Enemy wants us to give up, to sulk and stay home and then say "I told you so!" when the defeat we engineered takes place.
The other temptation is to give into wrath and "accelerate" things. The system is under great strain and could break, but we must move forward with faith and hope against that chance.
I freely admit that I have had some very bad days over the past couple of years, and even over the last few weeks. The thought of Prop 3 passing in Michigan torments me, but I have to trust in God that if it passes, it's because only the spectacle of watching the grisly result will bring us to our senses.
When women realize they can't sue doctors because "reproductive health" is a protected right immune from state regulation, things will change. The Enemy's victories are always temporary.

Downstate Michigan has an accent, but it is almost impossible to replicate because it is so inconsistent. We've randomly decided to crush certain vowel sounds for some reason. Merry, marry, and Mary are all pronounced the same, as are ant and aunt.
My wife's Appalachian accent has flattened over 20 years, but still comes back when she is pissed. My kids have it and I've adopted much of the vocabulary.

In my crowd, I noticed a theme to the female Prop 3 supporters: They're menopausal, post-menopausal or had their tubes tied. And all managed to get through their fertile years without having an abortion. It's a fantasy of heroically standing up for young women who are not as savvy about birth control.

Yes, it may already be underway. The lockdown drove people to leave public schools. Catholic enrollment has surged. Going to Mass of late, it's hard to hear parts of it with all the babies and toddlers about. It didn't used to be that way - mostly gray-hairs, smattering of young people.
I've said this before but bears repeating: If you are young man who want to find a wholesome, non-crazy young woman to raise a family - go to Mass! They are literally waiting for you.

Much of the viciousness in contemporary society comes from people who will not grant forgiveness because they can't forgive themselves.
If you can admit you made a mistake, you can admit other people do as well. But if you never do anything wrong, than other people who do are stupid and terrible and must be mocked.
This in turns leads to them fearing admitting being wrong because they would then be mocked. A vicious little cycle.

The 80s: A Pop Culture Special -- https://bit.ly/3F1tA3r
I was ages 4-13 in the 1980s and this just teleports me back to that time in my childhood.
As an adult though, now seeing Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul II is both nostalgic and depressing, comparing them to what we have in the world now.
But seeing all the movie clips, the music groups, the songs, the women of the 80s, etc... wonderful nostalgia overload.

Is he related to Hugh Laurie?
I think the key is that Laurie played an angry, caustic figure and that helped him keep his pronunciation tight. Midwesterners tend to crush their vowels, which is how "her" and "sure" can rhyme.

My belief is, we ask for prayers, and then remain open to whatever we want to call it, God's spirit, grace, will. Whatever happens, we want what moves to be our ability to accept it, to endure it, to continue our faith.
I don't ask for something to be changed. If it changes, so be it. If it doesn't, God please grant me the strength to get through this.

I'm sure its very difficult. Our diocese has gone through two realignments in the last 20 years and the most recent one was very deliberate and contemplative.
One of our local parishes was slated for closure and due to Covid they accelerated that, holding the final Mass while Covid restrictions (and fear) were still widespread. That meant many of the older parishioners could not attend.
How is it all structured? Are they able to get assistance from other congregations?

I used to work at Camp Atterbury, in south central Indiana. Within the span of 10 minutes, I saw someone driving an offroad ATV roll it over on himself because he was trying to climb a hill that was too steep and I saw a trailer lose one of its chains and fishtail and not one, but two, people with pickup trucks with winches on the front go immediately to the accident. That 10 minutes just defined Indiana for me.

The only British actor I've seen nail a regional American accent is Jeremy Northam in "Happy, Texas." As a lifelong Texan, I was amazed he had the accent down without overdoing it, which is what normally happens. That's pretty remarkable considering he's the son of Cambridge University professors.
I've never seen "House" but I know a lot of people are surprised to find out that Hugh Laurie is British. (I know him as Bertie Wooster.) Don't know about his accent but obviously it's pretty convincing.

Loved that show. It ended much too soon. I read that was because the creator/ main character wanted to go out on high note and not diminish it like a lot of series that go on too long. I think he could have done one or two more seasons.

Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at October 22, 2022 11:16 AM (llXky)
The funny thing is if anything the film understates how crazy and gallows humor driven the period was.
One lesson I had forgotten from the time, that the film reminded me of that seems rather topical given the events here the last 3 years- economically Khrushchev was the most successful soviet leader so far as growth and delivery of honest felt gains to the public....
It did not matter.

I caved and bought Solo in UHD for 6.99 on sale once....it sat unwatched in my queue for 2 years.
So one night with a good stir crazy popcorn machine to break in I watched it.
To put things in context I have wanted a Solo film since 77, I read the Han Solo adventures as a child and those stories were an awesome example of his growth from shady freebooter to the baby steps towards anti-hero to become eventually the redeemed hero we see at the end of Ep IV.
Solo was a supporting character in "his" own film.
Fuck Kennedy.

Yes! La Posta is fabuloso. One of the best seats in the restaurant was in the back bar. In one corner was a bar height seat made out of adobe and it always made the food taste better. They sadly have the back bar closed right now and because of this I have the sads.
The Owl Cafe! My first time there was right before Christmas and the staff was pulling down the Christmas Charity donations (these were dollars stuck to the walls). The just piled the cash on a few tables and that was the beginning and end of their security. That was one of the reasons I moved to NM. How can you not be in love with this place after that. Well, the pic of Wille Nelson and the owner behind the bar helped too.

I rate this as 1000% true having lived in El Paso years ago. Las Cruce, Hatch, that area has great places for green chiles. I love a stacked enchilada with g\pork green chile gravy and a runny fried egg on top. Actually got one a couple of months ago at a restaurant in Alamosa, CO. I was leery about whether they could pull it off NM style, but it was authentic and delicious.

Hugh Laurie is also a heckuva musician. He did all of his own singing and playing on "Jeeves and Wooster." Apparently he's acquired a taste for jazz while in the US. Not long ago I saw a video of him doing "St. James Infirmary."
