The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival (4/27/24)
2) Be kind to one another. Or at least don't leave marks.
3) No running with sharp objects.
4) Have a nice 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: 3/2 Reforger asked for prayers for his Coworker “D”, a widowed mom of 4 who is having a rough time with daughter #1. D’s daughter had to be incarcerated. She went nuts, trashed her room, broke things, and even kicked a cop. She could use a lot of prayers.
4/20 Update – Coworker D’s daughter is going to go live with her dad. Mom is at wit’s end. They hope a change in scenery will provoke some positive changes, since nothing else is working. 2/29 – DaveT asks for prayers. We had prayed in the past for him, as he was trying to save his cats and his home from repossession (due to a relative who burdened the family home with debt). DaveT is over 65 and is not able to work much. The cats are elderly and one is blind, and the only family he has. Things had turned around and it looked like he was going to be fine last summer, but now a new judge is on the case and seems to want to kick DaveT and the cats out of the house. Please pray. If anyone wants to contribute, Annie’s Stew has the details of his GiveSendGo.
3/20 Update – The sham trial took place on 3/20. The judge would not allow DaveT to speak or give any evidence. He is still taking donations for a new appeal.
4/19 Update – DaveT sent word that he was in desperate need. One of the cats was dying and DaveT was not able to bear the loss, and he did not have a reason to live anymore.
4/25 Update – No new information has come from DaveT. He has not responded to emails, so we do not know his status or situation. 3/3 – Commissar of Plenty and Lysenkoism in Solidarity with the Struggle to maintain Moron standards asked for prayers as he is scared to death of some much-needed surgery. Pain, healing, iyiyi! Even the red tape involved in scheduling. Thank you all again!
4/10 Update – Recovering from diverticulitis surgery. It’s rough. Much pain, and there is talk of another surgery. He is miserable. 3/9 – Hadrian the Seventh asked for prayers for Her Majesty, who is having knee replacement surgery. He’d like prayers for a successful operation, but also an uneventful recovery. Her previous surgery in 2019 (on the other knee) was marked by great pain and the effect of the medication was terrible.
4/13 Update – Her Majesty is on a cane now and doing very well. The downside is that now she’s no longer bedridden, she’s going around the house finding things for me to do. She goes to physical therapy twice a week, which is exhausting, but she wants to drive the RV to Washington state in a couple of months for our National Specialty, so she’ll have to put in the work. 3/9 – Dr_No asked for prayers for his daughter, Megan. We had prayed for her in 2021, when she had cancer. Her cancer is still in remission, but she has blood clots in her lungs. She went to the local ER, where they said everything was normal. She sent a message to her PCP, to ask her to review the situation. She is still weak, and gets tired if a conversation lasts more than 1-2 sentences. Please pray that she be restored to full health. Thanks once again to the Horde for the help.
4/13 Update – The shingles have passed the most painful point (the first two weeks), and she’s now mostly pain-free. The colon cancer is still in remission. Thanks so much for sending words up for her recovery. 3/23 – Jewells would appreciate prayers for her niece, who is in the hospital for the second time in a week. She was diagnosed with pneumonia the first time, but still felt awful. She went back to ER, and they admitted her again. Her oxygen level was 76. She is the niece who is fighting cervical cancer.
4/13 Update – They suspended treatment for Jewells’ niece for 6 weeks and have her on oxygen. Her cancer is responding to the treatment, but at an awful price. 3/23 – Fenelon Spoke needs prayers for Jessie, their “retired” organist. Jessie had fallen. Nothing was broken, but it is a setback for her and she is in pain.
4/20 Update – Jessie is in less pain now. 3/28 – Reforger asked for prayers for his wife, who is applying for a promotion. The new job would triple her salary.
4/20 Update – Mrs. Reforger got the job. 3/30 – mindful webworker asked for prayers as he is going under the knife again for what will be a few hours’ surgery and maybe a week in the hospital. His surgeon used the word “mystery” three times while describing what they will be doing.
4/13 Update – After 3 intense hours, the surgeon packed out his pickaxe and jackhammer, weary but confident that he had removed all the cement-like crud blocking mindful webworker’s intestines. The next few months will be spent recovering and healing. After 9 inhospitable days, he is trying to adjust to home life. He’s asked MiladyJo to wake him every couple of hours to check his vital signs. Every day is a gift. Prayers for all in need.
4/1 – News from Washington Nearsider: His savings have expired and May's bills cannot yet be paid. Another custody hearing - to reevaluate the March 13 determination to give his ex full custody - has been scheduled for May 13th, so that's a date on the calendar towards which he has to work.
He has added one (1) client to his custom model aircraft list, and hopes to add several more, even though he can only work on one at a time. Having a known stream of income is better than not. You can contact Nearsider at washingtonnearsider at gee mail to learn about shipping and timelines or to discuss any details. Interested Morons can look at some small segment of his previous work by heading to this link: https://tinyurl.com/yzmucshu
On the job front, Nearsider had a promising interview, only to be told at the end that though his writing samples, resume, attitude, background, and presentation were all exceptional, his removal from federal service prevented any path forward. Nearsider explained the details leading up to his removal, and while the panel expressed their sympathies for his situation and their admiration at his courage, their position was unchanged. He suspects this employer was simply the first to be so direct, and that he's missed out on several other opportunities for the same reason.
Several contractors have contacted him in response to applications he's submitted and he's hoping at least one of them will be willing to focus on the writing, resume, attitude, background, and presentation vice the end of his federal career. As usual, more follows.
Since several people encouraged it, he has set up a GiveSendGo account. Please contact Annie for the details, if you wish to contribute.
4/24 Update – After receiving an overwhelming outpouring of support from the Horde, Washington Nearsider was able to pay the mortgage for May and June, and is less panicked about losing his house. He also received a promotion at Home Depot, so he is managing a department, which will also increase his pay at bit. He loves you all and is so grateful. 4/3 – Notsothoreau posted that Mrs. Salty (as in Mrs. NaClyDog) had a bad fall and broke four ribs. She tested positive for Covid, as well. Prayers for quick healing and that she is out of the hospital soon.
4/13 Update – Mrs. Salty is out of the hospital, recovering slowly. There is progress. She avoided the bogus Covid-19 Wuhan money grab in the hospital. She is a tad more independent. Occasionally she needs a non-skilled, uncoordinated, non-dancing or singing helper, whom TikTok would not show. They say thank you for all the prayers. They can testify to their effectiveness. 4/4 – J. J. Sefton could use prayers. Here was his posting:
“After suffering some sort of seizure back in February, while the initial MRI and spinal tap showed nothing, a subsequent MRI this past Friday evidently seems to indicate that I might have some sort of brain tumor/growth that would require immediate attention. As in surgery.
That said, on a positive note -- and I'm holding onto this bit of news as positive with all my might -- the medical neurology team and the surgical neurology team are apparently still reading the tea leaves to see what kind of surgery, if any, is required to deal with this. I am hoping against hope for that non-surgical option but am preparing myself as best as I can for whatever is to be.” 4/5 – Teej posted and asked for prayers for a Marine who is on hospice, with possibly two weeks left to live. 4/5 – Pipe asked for prayers for a dear friend who has lung cancer, who lives alone. 4/6 – MikeOxlong requested prayers for healing and that treatment goes well, He was diagnosed with stage 5 esophageal cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes and lungs. Traditional treatment doesn’t have a good answer, so he is taking non-traditional treatment in AZ. 4/6 – Grammie Winger posted that Rev had some tests done and he has a cracked sternum from their earlier car accident. They also found several nodules in his lungs, and an aortic aneurysm. Prayers appreciated. 4/6 – RedMindBlueState asked for prayers for an old and dear friend who just started chemo and is feeling it hard. And for the friend’s dog, who may need surgery soon. 4/6 – Paisley1333 gave an update. We had prayed for her trainer, who went through her third round of cancer in December. The trainer’s surgery was successful, and it appears they got all the cancer. While under the knife, she had a seizure (which she has daily), so the doctors got to experience that and changed her meds. This has been a huge help. So very good news and so grateful for all the prayers. 4/8 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her husband. He was stubborn and didn’t go to the doctor for about 5 days and has shingles. He is in pain.
4/20 Update – FenSpouse is much better. He still has a little tingling but the pain from the shingles is much better. 4/10 – FortWorthMike updated the Horde. His MIL, who was going through cancer treatments, had miraculous results. The tumor is reduced so much, there is no sign of cancer. They won’t say cancer-free, but it’s just something to monitor now. 4/13 – NaughtyPine asked for prayers. There was a “psychic” who went on a murder-suicide rampage. A 9-year-old girl survived the attack, but her baby sister died in her arms. The surviving little girl needs prayers. 4/13 – Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd gave an update. His former son-in-law has died. It is something of a relief. He was an abusive, manipulative, drug-using alcoholic whose hobby was breaking into cars. He was well-known to law enforcement and the justice system. He had a remarkable capacity for wiping out wealth, either through outright theft or negligence. A.H. Lloyd’s daughter tried to leave him multiple times, but he was able to woo her back again and again. The last straw was when he used their tax refund for an Only Fans girl. The deceased is survived by his children, who he should have supported, but have been in A.H. Lloyd’s care for more than a year. Pray for the deceased if you like, but please pray for the children and their mother. 4/13 – Cybersmythe sent an update on his job search. He has received a formal offer of employment, for a job he thinks he wants. He appreciates all the kind thoughts and prayers. 4/13 – Nurse Ratched asked for prayers for her Marine, J, and his wife, M, who are having their wedding celebration on 4/13. They are sweet kids, respectful and kind to each other and would benefit greatly from the power of Horde prayers. 4/16 – Notsothoreau asked for prayers for a co-worker’s mentor and long time friend, DM, who has been diagnosed with throat cancer. Prayers for DM and also for his wife, that they would be strengthened and, God willing, that DM would be healed. 4/18 – Misanthropic Humanitarian asked for prayers, as he will be having his right knee replacement surgery on 5/6/24. 4/20 – AnchorPoint wanted to share an answered prayer, as well as a request. The answered prayer is: AnchorPoint’s dad passed away about 2 years ago. The estate was not going to be a windfall, but they hoped it would be enough to pay off their mortgage. After all the work was done and all the bills were paid, the final check was $72.38 off from the total mortgage payoff amount! The prayer request is: AnchorPoint’s relationship with one sister is bad. The sister has had a lot of trauma in her life and significant mental health issues and physical issues. AnchorPoint asks for prayers that their relationship would be restored. 4/20 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son. God willing, her son will graduate in May with a degree in horticulture. He has a paid internship with a multinational agricultural company in the PA Dutch area starting right after graduation. He needs to find a place to live. 4/20 – Defenestratus humbly requests prayers for a friend named Jourdan, a wonderful young woman with a 2-year-old daughter. Jourdan had gotten the good news that her breast cancer tumors had disappeared after chemo. But now she caught a nasty bug, and Jourdan has spent a week in the hospital getting blood transfusions. 4/20 - Miley, okravangelist asked for prayers for her brother. They think he is on the verge of a breakdown, stressing out over prepping. He flies off the handle and is freaking everyone else out. Miley could use prayers, too, since worrying about her brother is making her ill.
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.

Mis Hum, for your knee surgery make sure you get your pain medications set straight and can control their side effects. Doing this made a big difference in the post-operative course between her first and second replacements.

Good advice.
I had my left one replaced in Dec 2013.
June 2014 I had a revision to it.
When they say they practice medicine that is true.
I don't have side issues with opioids. So i'm good there. The bouncing setters will have to learn to spend time away from me.

I've had knee problems for longer than I care to remember. And I've seen a lot of doctors. The Fab and I are quite confident in this one. He is a new cutter for me. But, then again it is in God's hands.

On the whole, yes. I still have to drive her to her appointments but she gets around the house without a cane now. She's going in to see the doctor this week about a stitch that's still weeping.

It's also time for spring cleaning, and finally rationalizing what we have here. The former son-in-law's death has brought needed clarity to our domestic situation. I think my daughter hoped that he'd have a miraculous conversion or something, straightening out his life and supporting her and the children. As we have seen, that was never going to happen, so now we can make more realistic plans to get her life back on track.

Thanks AZ
The right knee has had 2 scopes and now replacement.
The left was replaced and had 1 revision. Before that 4 surgeries including an ACL replacement back in the dark days of medicine.
I really do appreciate the prayers. Thank you each and every one.

MisHum: God bless you on the knee fix. MiladyJo has so recovered from her hip replacements that this morning she took the dog for a walk and they let me sleep. I'm so delighted and impressed with her. The neighbor's son-in-law has had both knees done. He says, do the exercise-therapy. I'm told the knee fix is a little tougher than the hips. But the docs really seem to have this stuff down. You should end up better.
Did that make any sense? Can't tell before coffee.

The whole idea of OS/2 and Microchannel Architecture was that it would interconnect IBM PCs and IBM minis/mainframes and run on both. Microchannel was a bear when it came to adding anything to the bus, whether a video card or a hard drive. It involved rituals, codes, sacrifices and a first-born. You had to know some abstruse number for the drive. Reminded me of very early PCS and hard drives. Too complicated.

Especially today. I don't really understand it. I always listened to my parents, and still consult them. I suspect it is part of the internet age, where parents are presumed stupid and smart stuff is online.
In the case of my eldest, she's been very prideful since she met her ex, consistently doing the opposite of what I said, and now that I've been vindicated, she's still looking for ways to defy me. On the plus side, last night we talked about things and she's asked for my help on a few issues. So we'll see how it goes.

My dad worked for DEC when I was in high school. They seemed destined to rule the industry with their new fangled minicomputers that were rapidly taking marketshare from the mainframe colossuses. And then Ken Olsen decided DEC would not be a serious player in the PC buisness because individuals would never need their own computer.

What I'm excited about is that I'm doing my first flower garden, because my four year old is obsessed with flowers, so I'm making her a place to go and see them whenever she wants. Did annuals last week. Delphinums, geraniums, snapdragons, and petunias. Going shopping for perennials today.
Also, this is my second spring in this house. Last year, we had a late frost that killed all the flowers on my cherry blossom. No frost this year, but they died off pretty quickly anyway, which disappointed me, until I realized that it's not a cherry blossom. With no frost, it revealed itself as an actual cherry tree. Cherries all over the dang thing. Hundreds of 'em!
I can't wait to eat those cherries.

The Jordie Nelson herd is thriving on the new prairie grass. The herd seems a bit smaller than usual, with less calves.
He followed the local practice to burn his land, and the grass comes back with 15% more protein. I saw the fire came close to, but on on, the outbuildings.
In other news, his charitable foundation Nelson Family Community Foundation (NFCF) has another celebration this summer. Contact link in nic.

Mine, too! I had a few last year, but the birds kept a close watch and snatched them just as they were ripening. I WILL net the tree this year.
And my peach tree survived the frosts, it looks like. Last year, the little peaches all froze off in a late frost. This year, there are hundreds of little peaches--I am so hoping the frost is over, because I want those peaches this year!

But, I'm worried about if cardinals eat cherries, because I can't bring myself to kill them. I love cardinals, and even if I didn't my older daughter knows them all on sight and has names for them. She'd probably shoot me with the AK if I take out one of her cardinals.

Multi-tasking isn't possible.
Humans might do two things simultaneously like driving and drinking a cup of coffee, but the success of those are mostly the results of something similar to muscle memory.
Actual activities requiring attention and thought? It's not possible. That's why it's stressful and unhealthy.

We had a "mainframe group" of IT nerds and a "Microsoft/Novell/PC" group of IT nerds. We did not coexist very well. Some of us did "cross-over" work with the OS/2 and PowerPC stuff, but IMO this was a huge failure on IBM's part. Should have stuck with mainframes.

Posted by: Skip at April 27, 2024 09:51 AM
I bought a used one from a friend in the fall, detailed the heck out of it in the winter, then sold it for a very tidy profit in the spring. I don't think I ever rode once in it with the top down. The interior was kinda cold in winter, even with the heater full blast.
Not very appropriate for northern climate zones.

That was the first thing outside of groceries that we noticed rampant inflation on. We used to keep sunflower seed in seven feeders in the yard. 50lb bag of seed was $13.
Very soon after 2021 it became a 40lb bag for $25-30.
The birds get one feeder filled every other day, and we'll fill everything on the weekends we're going to be home.

I'm not in an area where chipped beef is a thing, but I always thought it was more a sauce than a gravy. Gravy made properly involves the drippings of the meat and a certain degree of browning (Maillard?) that introduces flavor to the mixture.
chipped beef in a Southern gravy on toast is probably really good. Someone should try that.

I don't get the convertible thing either. Living in the mid-west, there are only a handful of days where driving one would be enjoyable.
And on those days, I see convertibles with their tops up. They're loud, and surprisingly, heavier than hard tops.

I am well aware of the uses and limitations of GPR. The site is an unused and undeveloped section of a remote rural property. No concern about disrupting existing landscaping or structures, and full consent of the current property owner.

I'm not saying this has anything to do with what was being discussed on this thread, but the other irritating part is that the end of anything - or at least a massive slowdown that might as well be an effective end - can come about because someone calls their friend and says "Hey, we were helping out this guy and I think we've found something interesting, is there anything you can tell me about X?"
And two days later the friend calls back and says "Listen, between us, cut that out because that's tied to something we aren't ready or able to investigate" or "Stop because we don't need that being opened back up", and suddenly it's the job of the government employee friend that's at risk because the government employee boss told him that directly.
And it can easily work the other direction, too. Need to charge the president for something? Hey, here's a traffic court judge to help!

Check out usradar dot com
Archaeological Applications for Ground Penetrating Radar
Ground penetrating radar aids archaeologists who need accurate subsurface data to inform their decisions on where to dig and how deep. Depending on the model used & its penetration depth, the archaeologist can use GPR to help uncover findings like:
Buried buildings and foundations
Forgotten infrastructure (trenches, waterways, cisterns, etc.)
Underground tunnels and voids
Buried military paraphernalia
Bones, human or otherwise
Lost & unmarked graves, coffins, etc.
Other misc. artifacts
There very well may be someone with the equipment who's would "consult" on this.

I think it's more likely bureaucratic paralysis. Plus, the CBI is taking some heat for long-standing irregularities with DNA handling by their crime lab, so are undoubtedly hypersensitive about forensic procedures.

A lot of the cooking there is done on "three rocks" or on a raised couple of rows of brick and a gridiron, which is dangerous for kids and women wearing dresses, and is dirty, dusty and toxic for lungs.
In Southern Mexico the development groups are pushing the "Patsari" stoves, which can either use traditional comal-type cooking surfaces or actual stove lids for pots like the old cast iron ranges we used here. They are designed for efficient use of heat and safety for the kids to be around and have chimneys so they are more healthy even when they are burning old 5-gal plastic buckets for fuel, which is not unusual.
You might suggest she look at the PATSARI stove design, and see if they can push that or start some sort of program to get those built.
