5/18/24 Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

*****

Good morning. You know the rules and I know who has been naughty, nice or somewhere in between.

*****

Thank you Annie for compiling the weekly Prayer List.

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.
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.
5/8 Update – Her Majesty had to go to the hospital again. Her incision from her knee replacement become infected. They had to open it up again, clean it out, and sew it back up again. Her medical vicissitudes with her knee and eye have made her depressed. She is home again now, and looks a good deal better than when she went in.
4/18 – Misanthropic Humanitarian asked for prayers, as he will be having his right knee replacement surgery on 5/6/24.
5/6 Update – Misanthropic Humanitarian sends his thanks for all the prayers and good wishes. He is home now with a minor setback hoping and praying for a turnaround.
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.
4/25 Update – Her brother seems to have calmed down lately, but prayers are still welcome!
4/27 – Rhennigantx posted an update on his friend, Tim, who we have been praying for. Tim is not doing well. He is back on the vent and unresponsive. Rhennigantx doesn’t think Tim will make it.
4/27 – Someone Else requested prayers, as she is going through difficult family issues with an elderly aunt as well as dealing with some professional problems at this time.
4/27 – JW asked for prayers for Libby, who has a glioblastoma tumor that affects her word choices, so communication is very difficult. Libby has had surgery, radiation, and chemo, but is worse in the 4 weeks since treatment ended.
5/13 Update – The MRI showed that her tumor started growing aggressively as soon as the treatment stopped, plus she has 2 new inch-sized tumors near the treatment area. She is almost completely unable to communicate and feels very alone because of that. Her prognosis has changed from 18 months to maybe 4. Thank you to all who are praying for this total stranger.
5/2 – A Dude in MI requested prayers for dude Jr who is having a rough situation at school. Please pray for a quick resolution and no lasting effects.
5/4 – Sock Monkey requested prayers for a SIL who is interviewing with the Republican county leaders, for the interim position of County Attorney. He’s not necessarily a Trump supporter, but he is definitely qualified for the job and has the values that mesh.
5/4 – Paul requested prayers for the families of the toddlers bombed to death in Gaza.
5/8 – Fenelon Spoke asked for prayers for the young people graduating from college this weekend and beyond – that the graduation ceremonies might be peaceful, and that the young people going on to internships and jobs and looking for jobs might have a future with hope. Also for peace on college and university campuses.
5/11 – Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd sent thanks for the prayers for his daughter and grandchildren, at the death of the children’s father. The family began tackling the financial side of the situation last week, and learned that because of various programs, his ex-son-in-law will provide support for his children in death that he never was likely to do in life, which is a blessing. This in turn opens a path forward for Lloyd’s daughter and her children to have a place of their own.
5/11 – Tonypete asked for prayers for #4 son. 5/11 was his wedding day, and he asked R. to stand with him. She isn’t his birth mom but raised him after T. died.
5/11 – Taq, rickrolled by Jesus sent thanks to the Horde for praying for his mother the last couple of months. Her fractured hip has healed and she is walking, albeit slowly and with a cane, again. He has made several modifications to the house to make it suitable for her. She spent a month in a nursing home, one of the better ones in the community. Taq and his father spent 12 hours a day there, and half the nurses were kind and full of compassion and half were slow, lazy factory workers who seemed to resent the residents. They also resented Taq and his dad being in their workspace. Taq is grateful that Go brought him here, because if he hadn’t ended up in a hospital in 2019 from alcohol, he wouldn’t be here taking care of his folks.
5/11 – Jewells said the chemo break doesn’t seem to be helping. The swelling in her feet and legs is terrible, and they don’t have an answer. When she goes back on 6/11, if the doctor doesn’t have any other options, she is considering stopping treatment.
5/11 – Reforger had a request for his neighbor, “B”. He had been accidentally poisoned by carbon monoxide and was in a coma for 6 days. He has lost function in his legs and damaged his brain. Reforger has tried to talk him past the “I wish I had died” stage, so prayers are needed for “B”.
5/11 – RedMindBlueState asked for prayers for a friend since age 5, who just lost her husband suddenly. Prayer for her and for her boys are appreciated.
5/11 – Mollo, lurker requested prayers for a 7-year-old named Eli who suffered a stroke. Right now he can’t talk and the right side of his body isn’t working. Pray for healing for Eli and strength for his family.
5/11 – J asked for prayers for his wife, who has been experiencing debilitating migraines for years. J prays for her. The kids pray for her. The doctors have done what they think they can do within what they know to do. Maybe she needs prayer more than anything? (Is there any doubt?)
5/14 – Nearsider has a job! This afternoon, Nearsider received and accepted an offer to work as a federal contractor. He will begin on 6/3, and will make approximately 80% of his previous salary. Thank you for all the prayers, concerns, well-wishes, and reach0outs. A very particular thank you to those of you who have hired me to build model aircraft for you – they’re all still going to get done, I promise.
5/14 – DaveT sent an update. We have been praying for the lawsuits related to his home (that a relative took loans out against) and his elderly cats. He has a GiveSendGo set up to help with the costs; please contact Annie for that information. He sends his thanks for the prayers.
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.

Pro-Palestinian protesters hit the streets of Philadelphia again on Friday evening. Police were called to the area near 34th and Walnut streets before 9 p.m. The protesters took to the street after a group of them entered the Fisher-Bennett Hall on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania.

Wife said a bunch of them were arrested. New Mayor is very much law and order type. As a black woman I think she is allowed, it's in the constitution or something.

14 Thanks for the prayers for my son, everybody. He graduated and has relocated to PA and is living with other people. They live in what was probably a boarding house many years ago and share bathrooms, a kitchen and a common area.
I found out yesterday that son is not just doing research online. He is actually going out to farms to test things and look at plants. His manual dexterity is not that good so if you could keep him in prayer for that it would be appreciated. Thanks.

29 Dreary and raining, but not really cool, here this morning. I'm heading out in a few to Walmart and then Aldi, and to hit the bank to make a deposit. With any luck I'll be home by ten or so. If the rain has stopped I can run out to Petco and get some cat litter, the big 30-lb. refill for $14.

Yeah, pretty much once I'm awake, I'm awake. Been up since 4:30 myself -- but that's the time I usually get up on Saturday or Sunday anyway. A Unisom tablet plus a little melatonin and magnesium has been yielding a good six or seven- hour stretch of unconsciousness.

45 Had a very strange experience this morning.

I pull into the Walmart parking lot and suddenly get an urge to pray for something, but I'm not sure what for.

As I'm walking across the Walmart parking lot, I get a text on my phone from one of my church buddies. He asked us in our men's group to pray for his infant granddaughter who is scheduled for surgery very soon.

Naturally, we all prayed in agreement with his request. But it was a very odd feeling to get that urge right before his text came in.

What you want: A president holding a massive rally at a packed stadium with musical acts, fireworks and a laser light show.

What you'll settle for: two dozen people, mostly media, staff, security, and the janitorial crew in a small amphitheatre of a Delaware community college.

What you'll get: a senile old diaper wearing geezer in huge oversized sneakers mumbling incoherently amidst the roar of a big green and white helicopter while a coterie of staffers try to ensure he keeps walking and doesn't fall down while on camera.

64 Also, if you please - prayers for Carole across the street. She is a delightful 80 yr old. Previously she was in great shape, very active, happy - vibrant even. A few weeks ago she took ill and it turned out she has previously undiagnosed heart troubles. They hurriedly replaced a valve but it didn't go well. She continues to leak blood and now needs to go back in for open heart. She's just a little slip of a thing - no more than 90#s. We all fear she will not survive the operation.

My favorite aspect of this is:

I've got my own reasons to drink now
I think I'll call my dad up and invite him . . .

I don't write songs about girls anymore
I have to write songs about women

The lovely and caffiene craving Mrs naturalfake is very coffee savvy due to working in a snazzy coffee shop while in college.

Her opinion is that French Press without a doubt makes the best coffee.

She also thinks it's not worth the effort unless you're willing to buy really good coffee, not add milk or sugar or insect powder or whatever to your coffee, and have time to sit around a savor it.

Soooooooo-

we use an automatic drip and it's just fine.

In theory, stove top percolators give you the worst coffee, but again if that's what you like...who cares? Drink what you like and prefer.

Yep! This cat was found crawling on a water pipe in the ceiling of the Main Library basement at the University of [Midwestern State]. I wanted to give him a name either related to that uni/library or a literary name. He's happy and friendly, so I thought Bingley suited him. "respectable" and "large fortune," not so much. Actually, Wickham or Willoughby might have been a better choice, as he is a bit of a lovable rogue.

Our previous coffee maker died a couple of months ago. While choosing a new one, Inspector used the French press I sometimes use for bulk tea. He was surprised by how much he enjoyed the end result. He was tempted to just continue with the French press but the, mess and the speed at which it cooled, made him decide to get a new machine instead.

166 Inspector just got me some dark roasted dandelion root and almond milk to see if that fills my craving for a hot, bitter, opaque drink first thing in the morning now that coffee is off the menu. He also added some maple syrup, and the resulting mix was very good.

He got some roasted chicory as well for me to try, but haven't gotten to that yet.

If you are looking for a new veteran owned coffee company to support, I recommend that you give Indies Coffee a try.

https://x.com/CoIndies

They support veterans and independent artists, and the owner/operator, a Marine is a funny guy. Excellent customer service.

If you order on a 5# basis, cost is comparable to Costco beans.

I am enjoying their 28 Roasts Later, right now, which I got as part of their three roasts Sampler #3. It will likely become my new go to after leaving Starbucks owned SBC 6th Avenue Bistso some time back.

The key appears to be water temperature. IIRC it's between 195-205. There are pots that will indicate that they're guaranteed to reach and maintain this sweet spot.

I know our Bonavita does because that's why I bought it (well, that and it was cheap). I think Bunn guarantees it now, too.

My wife drinks water brewed with burnt barley, and there is a burnt corn as well, it is a Korean thing. I used to drink it after I got through with my couple of cups of coffee in the morning when I was home all day, working. She bought it at H Mart
Pero is a commercial version of that you can get in some stores, it looks like powdered coffee, but is made from toasted grains

there are other things to drink, one I like is the very tender tips of blackberry runners brewed in boiling water. It is more of an herbal tea, and is supposed to be good for you somehow.
I drink lemon balm also. I use a metal straw made for drinking Mate for my loose leaf herbal teas since I hate spitting out bits of leaves.

I had a memory from early childhood come to me a couple of weeks ago - nothing special, just waking up on a sunny morning and attacking my parents in bed. It was just very clear, and probably provoked by the grandkids doing the same thing to us, but I had to wonder if I had fabricated it.

When I talked to her I asked her about it and she just laughed. "That happened every day!" I guess those are probably the memories we lose track of because they're so common. Anyway, it was interesting.

Another thing that I've noticed over the past couple of years is that old memories have new context to them, and this in turn is changing my perception of the past.

255 To all the people raving about "civilian" casualties caused by Israel: how can you tell?

Hamas has no rank badges, no unit crests, no uniforms. By the Law of War, they're all combatants. The whole point of having uniforms is to protect civilians.

I think that the West has gone soft because we haven't had an existential conflict since 1945. Israel is in one, so they don't have time to play games with self-defeating rules.

259 Insurance company is making us install an earthquake sensor on our gas system at work. 3.5 rumble or bigger and we have no gas until inspected and reset.
I can't fathom this being any sort of problem, ever.

Ruptured gas lines are pretty bad. I mean, if you're on the Canadian Shield, not much going to happen, though.
