Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

***

Good morning Horde. It is hard to believe this is the final Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival thread of 2023.

I wish to thank you for your lurking, opining and/or bloviating away. And I know a number of you are thankful for the Prayer Revival and Annie's hard work.

If I don't see any of you until Monday, Happy New Year. May your 2024 be healthy and prosperous for you.

So before we get into the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping items (Rulz for those of you in Mosinee, WI) No rules this Saturday. Just remember if you break it, you bought it. And you can pray for forgiveness next week.

***

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:
12/4 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers as she went to visit a man “M” in the hospital. He’s not a member of her congregation, but is a friend of a friend who was okay with her visiting. He has had one thing after another, and has been in and out of the hospital. Prayers for his healing would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
12/21 Update – Prayers are still needed for “M”. He is in really bad shape now and was released from the hospital because a family member was being very difficult. “M” has been in and out of the hospital since August.
12/5 – Jewells45 sent an update. She spent 5 hours seeing the doctor, waiting, getting the infusion of new drugs, waiting some more…. The news is a mixed bag: some improved, some stable, and some worsened, and new metastases in her lungs and ribcage. The pain is daily, but manageable for now. The good news was that it has not spread.
12/6 Update – Jewells is in tremendous pain since she started on the new drug treatment: headache, chest pain like a heart attack, joints... She can’t eat or function.
12/16 Update – Jewells says she is doing better. She saw the NP and addressed the issues she was having. They are going to tweak a few things next time. It will still probably be bad but hopefully not as bad. She will tough this out until the next CT scan. If she continues to feel as horrible as she did, then she will ask for other options. If there aren’t any, well…..
12/6 – SP sent thanks to God for the prayers answered for Lilibeth, who we prayed for 2 years ago. After months of surgeries and chemo, she was declared tumor free this past week. Thank you all!
12/6 – Vic posted that his computer broke, and he has been in the hospital for 2.5 months with another cancer diagnosis.
12/16 Update – Vic is home but pretty much confined to his recliner.
12/6 – Jordan61 posted and asked for “good vibes”. Her heart rate was going nuts and she was feeling some pressure in her chest so she went to the ER. She’d had one blood draw and was waiting for another to compare with – then she’d know whether she’d have to be admitted to the hospital.
12/9 Update – Jordan61 let me know that her tests at the ER showed no evidence of a heart attack. She will see her regular doctor for a referral to a cardiologist.
12/9 – Eromero asked for prayers for his friend Lauren, as her gall bladder had turned on her.
12/16 Update – Lauren made it through gall bladder removal. They just vacuum it right out. Almost routine except when the gall bladder is attached to someone you care for. Praise God for healing, tender mercies, and blessings all!
12/15 – Washington Nearsider requests prayers. After taking what he believes was a principled stand, he was removed from his job as a federal agent after nearly 20 years of service. Please pray that he can find sufficient employment before his savings are exhausted, and that he can find the grace to provide a joyful Christmas full of gratitude for his two young children.
12/15 – DaveT sent an update. He is the retired gentleman that we prayed for in Oct-Nov, who was going through legal battles to save his home, for himself and his cats. He did receive enough contributions to his GiveSendGo to file a response and counter-claim, and was successful! Thank you to everyone who contributed prayers and donations! He is proceeding with one more necessary battle, which requires $400+ in filing fees, so his GiveSendGo is still open. Please email Annie’s Stew for the link to it, if you wish to contribute.
12/16 – neverenoughcaffiene posted prayers for the day: Berserker lost his BIL; they buried him yesterday. Debby Doberman Schultz lost her brother yesterday. Hadrian and her majesty lost Delilah yesterday.
12/16 – Sugar Plum fairy requested prayers for the family and friends of Katie and Grace, two sisters who died in a horrible car accident on 12/15. They were beautiful happy girls and full of life. They are from a small town where everyone knows each other, and it is a huge blow for the entire town.
12/16 – Legally Sufficient asked for prayers for a dear friend who needs them ASAP. No details yet, but it seems to be a medical event.
12/16 – Kindltot asked for prayers for comfort for her sister-in-law, Lonie, whose husband died of pneumonia and cancer.
12/16 – Paisley13 asked for prayers. The first is for their trainer, going through her 3rd bout of cancer. She is one of a kind. She’s been in the hospital and prayers for her family and her, especially if this is her time to be called home. The second is for dear BIL going through the first rounds of chemo. He and sis have a positive attitude but know there are days where they could use an extra prayer.
12/16 – Jim (in kalifornia) could still use prayers. His wife is in the hospital for a routine procedure to put in liver stents. It didn’t go well. She is on antibiotics. She is in a catch-22: she can’t get chemo until her liver is health enough, but the tumors are also damaging her liver. Jim had an abdominal bug and had to go to the ER, but he’s better.
12/27 Update – The doctor confirmed that his wife is going through liver failure. Her “liver” is huge and 90% composed of metastises. He has no estimate for how long she has.
12/21 – Skip would appreciate prayers for recovery for his mom. She had a mini stroke before Christmas. She got to the hospital and seems fine and no outward side effects. She should be in rehabilitation soon.
12/21 – Nurse Ratched asked for prayers for a rare commenter that she knows, whose mother is dying. She is in her 90s and had a good run. Please pray for peace and calm at her passing. She is at home and on hospice.
12/21 – NaCly Dog asked for prayers for the mother-in-law of his old boss, who went to hospice.
12/21 – PD asked for prayers for Nick, who was recently diagnosed with an inoperable tumor. He will undergo aggressive chemotherapy. Prayers are needed for strength for him and his son.
12/21 – Oddbob asked for prayers that his house in TX sells soon. They had to move to NE on short notice a few months ago, to help care for their granddaughter. They don’t have the resources to pay for rent and also the mortgage for very long.
12/21 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers again for Baby Lillian. She is back in the hospital with a hemoglobin issue. Baby Lillian is the great-niece of a member of her congregation.
12/26 – Anonosaurus Wrecks and Mrs. Wrecks could use some prayers. They had a terrible Christmas. Mrs. Wrecks took out the trash on Christmas Eve, and fell and broke her leg and her wrist. Then their daughter accidentally overdosed their dog with insulin. They had to take the dog to a super expensive emergency vet, but the dog is okay now. Mrs. Wrecks is still in the hospital because no pharmacies were open, so she couldn’t get any pain meds. She also needs special medical equipment.
12/27 – TecumsehTea requested prayers for a dear friend, Pastor Joe, who has a benign brain tumor that they have been watching. It has grown about ¾ of an inch in the past 6 months and needs to be removed. It’s in a tricky spot, making the surgery risky, but they can’t leave it for much longer. In the past 2 years he ahs dealt with a heart attack and prostate cancer, and now this. He has deep faith and trusts the Lord. His family is understandably anxious. Prayers for wisdom for the doctors, peace and comfort for his family, for continued mercy and healing for Pastor Joe.
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.

Rolled into the frozen tundra Thursday night.

As Dorothy said, "There's no place like home."

It was a fun once in a life trip. The kids still love me. I wasn't kicked out of NC or American Airlines. And I got to briefly meet Mr. Mike Hammer.

I counted the cash and calorie expenditures last night. OMG.

I've had a few days to do some long overdue decluttering.

I've been scanning, shredding and trashing.
Finally I can see a portion of the tabletop that hasn't been visible since oh, 2018. Feels great.

Rulz for those of you in Mosinee, WI

"Mosinee, WI?" you may ask yourself. "Where have I seen that name before?"

Here's your answer: stamped in the metal dispensers for paper towels in public restrooms. 'Cause there are paper mills there on the banks of the Wisconsin River, downstream from Wausau, that manufacture fanfold paper towels.

We are closing out our year by hosting our two gKids for an extended stay (four days so far, starting day five this morning) because their mother contracted the Coof and made us aware of that fact on day 2 of their stay here.

They are Coof-free, by all tests (two each) so far.

An end date for our benevolence has not yet been established.

Hasn't met with the surgeon or oncologist yet so there are still many questions and fears. She lives 14 hours away which will complicate things in helping her get through this.

118 So. Day after Christmas I have to go to work. Turn on the shower to warm it up and no hot water. Go check the heater and it's on, really hot.
Look under the house and I have a lake. Shark bite I used in a previous repair had poppoed out. I had a 3/4 inch line from my heater blowing water full blast.
Better fix that. Shut the water off and jumped in my truck to go to work and put out any fires.
Truck won't start. Fuel pump is out.
Go to get in my Jeep and it too won't start. Jumped out Breathalyzer put in before I bought it went to crap.
Used wifes car to get to work as I had to because if I don't go in I don't get paid for Christmas. Told HR what was up and left.
Pumped out the crawlspace, got muddy as hell and fixed the hot water.
Fixed the Jeep and now today I have to drop the fuel tank on my truck and replace the pump. AND it's supposed to rain.

Prayers to all and Happy New Year. As soon as it gets light out I have stuff to attend to and the grands will be here soon.

Don't know if you picked it for the name, but that is an incredible piece of music. It begins with sadness, pain, and drudgery, and then it builds and ends with triumph over suffering and victory - although the struggle continues. Astounding that he could put all that into his music.

215 New Colorado law will help people dealing with eating disorders

http://tinyurl.com/anorexia-CO

This article caught my eye this morning. At first glance it doesn't seem like much. But thinking about it there are 3 aspects that show where healthcare is in the present days.

1. Gov't and Insurance companies at odds over the control of th practice of medicine.
2. Specialist physicians fueling the increase in incidence of their pet diagnosis. (If you go to a barber he will tell you that you need a haircut)
3. Mental health practitioners defining eating disorders and controlling the narrative, to the exclusion of general practitioners & FP's. These are the same practitioners who tell us gender dysphoria is best treated by reinforcing the patient's delusions. It's like the eating disorder doctors are running interference for the gender doctors by validating their position as sole experts in the field.

225 Minor rant here.

I was reading a local news source that stated Amazon Prime will now be incorporating ads into their streaming videos and movies.
I just encountered this after doing a limited subscription to HBO- can't watch an episode of Southpark without three commercials embedded in the episode. And I can't skip them or fast forward.

So, in Amazon's case, I guess Bezos needs for money for another dick-shaped rocket?? Seriously this scheme of tricking us to buy a subscription, for ostensibly ad free content is satanic at its core!
I'm at the point where, when I look at the amount of dough I pay for Netflix and other subscription services, I might as well go back to cable. At least I can DVR or fast forward stuff.

316 A researcher who was working in this particular experiment was diagnosed with brain cancer 4 months later and thought what the hell and tried fenbendazole on herself and it cleared up her glioblastoma. No side effects.

Big Pharma is actually studying a related drug called mebendazole, and fenbendazole has been studied in one of the Nordic countries in breast cancer but only in a small study. But the drug is a no-profit deal for them, unlike chemo.

And the kicker is that you can get it at the pet store, like a certain other drug that we know about.

And this will continue over and over and over and over and over because the feds REFUSE to do anything about it because it's a leftist tool used against conservatives and they're ITCHING to get them killed.

They will convert you or kill you, those are your options.

328 I don't think Castro became a billionaire because of Socialism. His wealth was accumulated the old fashioned way... theft.

Pretty much the same system our political class uses. Or any other political / ideological system.

331 I see the smart people, who Know Things, from the posts on Ukraine over at Insty, are coming to the conclusion that us Dumbs saw from the beginning:

There was no way Ukraine was ever going to win; we caused the war by our meddling*; we prolonged the war by our further meddling.

But what's a couple hundred billion dollars and a million lives wasted when it bought the smug moral superiority of waving a Ukraine flag on social media for spoiled, entitled elites and their courtesan?

They won't admit it because they did it on purpose.

336 This has been said before in AoS, in future make sure that your doctor, and particularly your surgeon, is 40 or older, and not a graduate from MN, ivies and other misguided institutions. An Indian doctor at this stage looks good.
Definitely go elsewhere if the Dr has or does any of the following: a feather headdress, a rattle with teeth inside, shrunken heads, and throws chicken bones in trying to get a diagnosis.

337 Any Classical music suggestions for the New Year?

There are three, four albums' worth of the lyrics-free, no jokes, serious orchestral compositions of Frank Zappa.

You will never hear them here. We do not do that.

340 Some dangers of Febendazole:

http://tinyurl.com/3avd2xeu
"An 80-year-old female patient with advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was started on pembrolizumab monotherapy. The patient experienced severe liver injury 9 months later. An interview with her and her family revealed that she had been taking fenbendazole for a month, solely based on social media reports suggesting its effectiveness against cancer. After discontinuation of the self-administration of fenbendazole, the patient's liver dysfunction spontaneously resolved."

might not work well with other cancer drugs.

341 Jim: thanks for posting that, I had not heard any other reports of side effects but of course I can't do a thorough search. The trouble with any of these possibilities is that big Pharma has massive interests in not doing them because it would not only not pay them to do so it would take their business model.

So people are basically trying it on their own and there are some doctors who have used it to good effect. But yes you always have to be careful when combining therapies.

It's a personal decision of course. I would give it a whirl if I were diagnosed with cancer.
