The Saturday Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
The Breakfast of Champions
2. Be nice. Be kind. And please, no jumping on the furniture.
3. Running with sharp objects? Sure, we will laugh at you.
4. Have a great weekend!
November 30 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Allan Sherman (born Allan Copelon, 1924 - 1973). He was a humorist and television show host, probably best known for his adaptation of a theme from "The Dance of the Hours" ballet from the opera "La Gioconda" by Amilcare Ponchielli, a.k.a. "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah." Demand for his humor declined after the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and he died at age 48 from complications related to being overweight and alcohol abuse. Here is his "Crazy Downtown," a parody of Petula Clark. Enjoy! (H/T Ron)
How about a little cuteness to end this thread?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: 10/7 – Piper requested prayers for her stepfather, who fell and broke his wrist. He will need surgery to put a plate in. He is in a lot of pain.
11/2 Update – Piper’s stepfather’s surgery went well and he is in PT. 10/24 – B requested prayers for a friend (age 43) who is having heart and lung problems. He had to take “the shot” for work, so B is concerned about what that might mean.
11/6 Update – The friend does have cancer. He was given less than 12 months to live. Prayers for his family (his wife and 4 daughters, ages 6 – 14) are very much appreciated. 10/25 – Mental Block requests prayers as his prostate cancer journey transitions from active surveillance to deciding between two treatment options: a prostatectomy or 6 weeks of radiation combined with hormone therapy. Treatment will begin by mid-December.
11/21 Update – Mental Block started six months of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) which stops his body from producing testosterone. He starts radiation therapy on 12/4, which will be 5 days per week for 6 weeks. 10/26 – Teresa in Fort Worth asked for prayers. She got some troubling and totally unexpected medical news on 10/25, and is being referred to an oncologist to see where she goes from here. She said she is freaking out because this wasn’t even on the radar. It was found while being tested for something completely unrelated.
11/8 Update - It turned out to be bile duct cancer, which has locally metastasized into the liver. The plan is for 3 rounds of chemo starting after Thanksgiving, and then surgery in February or March. This is a rare cancer (8000 cases/year), and aggressive (5 year survival rate of 2-3%). Teresa plans to fight as hard as she can, but this is the situation. She appreciates the thoughts and prayers.
11/19 Update – She saw the oncologist. Without treatment, she might live 6 months. With chemo and surgery, she might make it 12 months. Maybe longer if she’s lucky. She’s eating all the desserts and buying all the yarn she can in the meantime.
11/23 Update – Teresa will be getting some help at home. An attendant will be coming to the home to take care of Rebecca, and also keep an eye on Teresa. The attendant has been through chemotherapy herself, has worked for the agency for a long time, and was looking for a more permanent placement. She can come 6 days a week, starting the Monday after Thanksgiving. What a blessing for the entire family! 11/2 – FB asked for prayers for his friend, Jeff, who was just diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He started chemo this week. They’ve been friends for over 30 years; their daughters grew up together, and Jeff is the best fly fisherman FB ever met. Please pray that they can fish the spring steelhead run together. 11/2 - Farmer Bob requested prayers. His older sister is suffering, as her son with autism is hospitalized in a medically induced coma, fighting sepsis from a skin lesion. Her grandson, whom she has raised, has significant medical issues which required a liver transplant. His father has descended into the madness of radical transgenderism. Farmer Bob’ s younger sister is a substance abuser whose behavior has alienated her from the family. Please pray for them, too. 11/2 – J.J. Sefton posted that his latest MRI came back negative. It looks like he has a good shot at beating the odds and stats for glioblastoma. He sends his thanks for the prayers, and he sends prayers, too, for all those who are suffering. 11/2 – Stateless’ 88 year old mother, who had been doing well, has pain in her side after eating. If she lays down, it goes away. She has been treated for diverticulitis using antibiotics, but that has not helped. They are also trying changes to her diet: probiotics, yogurt, etc. They will bring her to ER for a CT scan if needed. 11/6 – Morgan, loyal lurker, is postponing his employment decisions until the new year. He asks that God reveal His will for him, and what direction He wants him to take. He also asks for blessings on Misanthropic Humanitarian for all his efforts on the ONT and his well-deserved retirement. 11/8 – Jim in Kalifornia could use prayers. He was scheduled for laparoscopic surgery to clean abscess(es) and add drain.
11/16 Update – Jim was released from the hospital on 11/12. He still has the drain, is on 2 antibiotics and an antifungal for another 12 days. His anti-rejection regimen was reduced to allow him to fight the infection(s), but at a potential risk to the transplanted kidney.
11/23 Update – Jim is hospitalized again, receiving IV fluids, since he still can’t drink more than a few sips of water. He is on stronger antibiotics.
11/26 – Update – Jim is home again. 11/8 – Ron asked for prayers for his mother, who lost her vision and also fell. They are hoping for a medical procedure in the near future to restore (some of) her vision, and that the fall didn’t injure her too badly. 11/9 – SD requested prayers for her husband, whose kidney function is declining. They had a scare when an ultrasound suggested a mass on his right kidney, but thanks be to God, the CT scan said it was no mass, just an irregularly rotated lobe of his kidney. He sees a nephrologist on 12/3. 11/9 – tbodie Lurker sent thanks for the prayers. Tbodie had follow-up surgery on 11/6, and it went well. 11/10 – Farmer asked for prayers for Julie, who went to ER and almost died. She had “septic shock with multi organ failure secondary to perforated gastric ulcer with kidney and liver failure”.
11/16 Update – Julie was taken off the ventilator for 3 hours. Her eyes were open and got real wide when she saw him. So she is still there and coming back, slowly but surely. 11/13 – NR Pax requests prayers for his friend’s family. They have to sell their home and move because the local drug dealers have been making escalating threats to them. 11/13 – R asked for prayers for his mother. She lost her vision and she fell. They are hopeful that a medical procedure will soon restore some of her vision, and that the fall did not injure her too badly. 11/13 – Nightwatch needs prayers. His sister Kathleen suffered a massive stroke and is in the ICU. This news was given to him 2 hours after he got home from his wife’s aunt’s burial, and a week after the untimely passing of his nephew at age 34. 11/15 – Pooky’s Girl asked for prayers for Lil Pooky’s possible abdominal hernia.
11/19 Update – His hernia is pretty minor and can be fixed laproscopically with a single stitch. Surgery will be in mid-January. Please pray that Lil Pooky will have minimal discomfort until then. 11/15 – Notorious BFD asked for prayers from those so inclined, after Notorious BFD’s brother-in-law passed away unexpectedly. 11/23 – Screaming in Digital gave a mom update, and sent thanks for the prayers. Mom had to go to ER last week due to unusual confusion and weakness. It was a UTI. Thankfully she didn’t need a transfusion for anemia and there were no injuries from her recent fall. She is also getting set up for home health services. 11/23 – Jewells sent an update. She has been taking ivermectin for 2 weeks, and the only side effect is extreme fatigue. 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.

Prayers up for those that know they need them but have not asked us for them;
Prayers up for those that need them but don’t know it yet; and
Prayers up for those who pray alone, asking for help in silence, and whose prayers are known but to God!
Prayers up even for all "our" politicians who have decided that their 10% graft and power are still far more desirable than their honor or integrity, may they see the error of their ways and repent!
And lastly, prayers up for our future President Trump, keep him safe from harm and may the many forces of corruption and evil arrayed against both him and our country be made ineffective and come to naught!

The "real" breakfast will be latter this morning. Probably sausage, egg and cheese muffins.
It's bitterly cold this morning. There's skim ice on the pool and frost everywhere else. Light snow is forecast later today/tonight but little accumulation is expected. Still.... there will be panic at the grocery stores.

For those who have never been, Katz's still has a big sign that reads "Send a Salami to Your Boy in the Army"
I assume that it dates from WW2. Time was there was a Jewish or Italian deli as well as a candy store/soda fountain on almost every block. Today, the latter are extinct and Katz's is probably the last delicatessen in the city. The times they have changed. Oh well.
Have a great weekend all!

It's the flow inhibitor, said I. Lemme see what I can do.
Now our shower control is a single lever with no flow regulation. All you control is the mix of hot and cold. It delivers full pressure to the head with no modulation possible.
I did the trick driving a drywall screw into the little plastic flow inhibitor and grabbed the screw with pliers and yanked it out like a molar.
So now there is way too much spray pressure. Gotta find some kind of happy medium. Any new head I get is gonna have that little fancy donut in there. The challenge is finding one with the least amount of flow regulation.

1/3 c. flour
3 eggs
1 T vegetable oil
1 C. cottage cheese
Mix all nicely, select a spoon sized just right.
I use a spoon size for getting an amount of batter to yield a 5-inch panckake. Grilled properly, they are light brown all over with scorched freckles wherever a larger cheese curd is.
For butter, I like Irish. And for syrup, genuine maple.
Yum.

Well, the protection rackets in general didn't help store owners' bottom lines. That and changing times/tastes among other things made them go extinct.

I'm sure one factor is that Russia is no longer providing direct support to Assad. That really moved the needle. Russian air strikes and artillery support (including naval bombardments), reversed the course of the war, allowing Assad to regain a lot of territory. Wagner was part of that as well.
I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of those Russian assets were recalled for business closer to home.
I built a wargame on the Syria-Iraq fighting, and it was eerily prescient. We used to play it over lunch, record the results and send them to a guy in the Pentagon planning section for a while. I never quite finished my Ukraine game before I was forced out. Sad.

The Left is an odd alliance that would have brought us to ruin and may still.
1. The Open Borders Crowd wants to import enough non-Americans to make the country Third World. This is Obama's goal.
2. Others want us to keep over-spending so they can keep stealing. The GOPe is in on this. Inflation is the result.
3. Another faction wants to us to march into Totalitarianism. This is where the Deep State comes in.
Illegal Immigration and Inflation is what swung the election to Trump, but #3 is subtle and insidious and possibly the most dangerous of all.

For the first time in a long time, I think people are playing for keeps. No more negotiated settlements, minor chess movies. Israel is going to grind these people and make them sue for peace.
This is why while I agree that peace is good in general, I feel that this thing needs to be sorted out once and for all. Israel has won wars many times only to lose the peace because nothing is settled.
If the Israelis had held Cairo and Damascus, the wars would have stopped, but we always held them back. Let them fight it out because they really, really seem to want that.

Yes, and don't fall for Western-based concepts of how power is balanced over there. A lot of people assume that Arab Christians are natural allies of Israel. They are not, for a huge stack of historic reasons. A lot of the alliances have subtleties we can't even begin to unwind.

To be fair, there's been a lot of sodomy going around in the region lately.
The thing that annoys me is the constant need to revise history to retrofit events in light of current affairs.
Thus: the US was aggressor in the Cold War, or Iraq was our puppet and that sort of absolute nonsense.
I've seen the diagrams showing US arms exports from that era, but they never include the fact that the AK platform is the most common weapon in human history and while US dollar amounts were higher, in terms of absolute tonnage and quantity, the Soviets destroyed us. We were always on our back foot in part because a big chunk of the population just wanted it to go away.

I think it will be interesting to see what happens. Most nations won’t want to deal with a Syria ruled by Islamist terrorists. Well, except for Erdogan who is helping to finance the Islamists. Assad can probably be negotiated with. Terrorists not so much. I ultimately wonder if Trump will pull out of our bases or wait to see where the chips fall. I don’t think he wants a role for us in Syria. But he’s not stupid. Notice he still talks about how we should have kept Bagram due to its location. Interesting times.

What’s going on in Syria has little to do with Israel, except that they created the conditions that made it possible by destroying Hezbollah.
Israel has no interest in controlling Cairo, ever. They don’t even want to stay in control of Gaza which has led to some of their problems.
A big reason for this that’s easy to forget:
Total population of the city of Cairo - approx 10 million.
Total population of Israel (the entire country) - roughly 9.4 million.

Check the battle maps in the Yom Kippur War and get back to me. The Israelis were driving on both.
Israel did not want to own either Cairo or Damascus, but forcing the governments there to flee would have allowed a dictated peace. The shame of such a total defeat would have shattered the concept of Arab power, which was why it was not permitted to happen.
Things are different now. Let them fight.

Put aside for a moment peoples religions. What many citizens of places like Syria and Lebanon want is to live in peace. In Lebanon they’ve had enough of Hezzbollah but don’t have the means to get rid of them. That’s what the Israelis have done, along with all the other Iranian financed groups. Same in Syria, which is now a little more tricky due to the concentration of bad guys. But again, the average person just wants to be left alone. I think the strength that Trump brings to the table, along with the fact he’s tired of fighting these wars, like most of us, will change things significantly. There’s going to be a new paradigm. But what that will be is yet to be known.

Oh it’s a lot more than material. Notwithstanding that Russia can’t keep supply going a lot of their battlefield tech is outdated. They are also relying on the Chinese for intel, which those MFer’s also provided the Tali in AFG. NORK infantry in Kursk was a total embarrassment. The use of an IRBM was more an attempt to say we’re still dangerous and stupid. Even though we are relying on all these other nations to try and win the fight. A lot of the top Russian brass don’t like much of this. They are a proud group and don’t trust the Chinese. But unless they want their tea poisoned, their planes to crash or their families disappeared, they will keep going along…

A simpler (and to my mind more accurate) analysis is that for leftists, politics has replaced religion, and in the process uses a lot of religious concepts. They believe themselves to be the best, the pure, the Chosen, the Anointed. Their intentions are pure, and they are without sin.
The rest of us are Deplorable, unredeemable, oppressors, villains who deserve everything we get. This is why whenever one of this group suffers or dies, they scream "Karma!" or "Where's your Sky God?"
The best shorthand way I can think of is expressing this is cheap, knock-off, distorted Calvinism, the kind you find on yard signs reading "WE BELIEVE..." That's why I use it. It works. (con't)

Most western observers think Turkey is behind it, perhaps trying to push out Russian and Iranian influence. I’m not so sure; to me it looks like the rebels launched what they thought would be a minor operation, but this time the Syrian army collapsed immediately and fled their posts.

This is why no good deed done by Trump or his allies is actually good. Peace in the Middle East is wrong and bad. Not starting wars is wrong and bad. If Obama had initiated the Abraham Accords, they'd have held ticker tape parades, but because a Deplorable did it, it is still evil.
I increasingly see things through a spiritual lens, and I think a lot of contemporary politics are an attempt to secularize religious concepts. Recall that the left hates religion, hates prayer, is now arresting people for silent prayer in the UK. They are clearly afraid of the power of prayer, and seek the approval of their dark masters in suppressing it. (con't)

It is no accident that libel was weakened to allow more lies, because who above all else loves spreading lies?
Instead of God's people controlling a majority of terrain, the Enemy has now reversed the field, and clearly hoped to reduce the faithful to isolated enclaves under siege from within and without. For a time, we have driven the powers of darkness back, but we cannot be complacent. We must continue prayer, build more fellowship, create spaces of hope and joy rather than succumbing to cynicism or complacency.
Note well that crosses and traditional Christian iconography is now being declared evil, subversive, racist. The Enemy is once again shifting ground. We cannot rest. The battle continues. To coin a phrase: Deus Vult.

Amateurs talk strategy; professionals talk logistics. Imagine a fighting force of 10-15,000 guys.
They're mostly armed with AKs. How much ammo would they need to get through a few firefights? We know that combat patrols in Iraq wanted at least 500 rounds on them (15 mags on them, more in their transport). Add in some machineguns.
In a week of intermittent fighting, you're looking at 25-50 million rounds. There are ammo plants in Syria and Lebanon, but outside supplies are absolutely essential.

I did say our dogs have the same name....

**********
I saw that. It's a good name. Lends itself to nicknames.
Buck, Buc-a-buc, Buckles, Barkley, etc.
Our daughter has a sibling to our Buck (same parents, different litter) who is half of his size. We call him Fitty Cent 'cause he's half a buck.

Not quite. It was launched to make Raytheon and Haliburton a few gzillion dollars. Along with the rest of the defense contractor industry.
It’s never NOT about money.

I wish Buckley was Fitty Cents. He got a bit larger than I was expecting, but he is a mixed breed and you never know what you'll wind up with. In the future, I think 30lbs is my max for dogs.

I agree. If you mean you wouldn't give one man on EITHER side who fought, for 1000 of the shitbag civilians of perpetual war. In the State Dept, in DoD, in the so-called intelligence agencies... in the weapons manufacturers corps. And so on.
Hell, throw in Mike Waltz, who is Trump's nominee for NSA, who doesn't seemed to have learned a damn thing about his participation in the forever wars, other than wanting to perpetuate them.

The Crawling Eye is an old favorite of mine from the days of late Saturday night monster movies on Chicago's Channel 5 -- they used to run that one a lot and I'd try to catch it every time.
More coffee. Am kinda partial to Gevalia's Signature Blend k-cups and their Guatemala ground. No longer do any sweeteners in coffee, tea, or cereal; I used to take sugar with my sugar, but tastes finally changed.

As much as I plug it here, I don't think enough of you have watched Kyle Dunigan's work. Among other things, he has a "show" he does called "Fresh Prez of DC, where he does all the voices, with face deepfakes. Ben Shapiro makes an appearance.

I find his analysis and insights interesting. He can pack a lot into a sentence. Sometimes I think they speed up the audio because he speaks so fast. Yes, he's selling razors or gold bars, or whatever, but so is everyone else. He has to make a living.
Since El Rushbo left the building I've been looking for someone with concise humorous analysis and good delivery who doesn't screech or say "Great American" every other sentence.
Your mileage may vary.

I think Whitmer is all in on the sexy / edgy appeal to wymyns, gays and brats. She dresses in black leather, drops naughty words and the Eucharist mockery was the definition of the direction she's heading, a Joan Crawford creepy scold wannabe.
I'd like to think that's not America in 2028 but it could make her a Democrat nominee at least.
Posted by: Auspex at November 30, 2024 11:00 AM (j4U/Z)
Team Trump will need some time to work through things while they encounter Resistance. This may include a pent-up recession. But I expect things will kick into gear by 2027. Like last time before Covid.
Meanwhile many Blue states will be in distress, CA included.
No way Newsom can bring back disaffected working class workers.

My property taxes went up over $2300 from last year. The worst part is the school district only keeps 24% of that because we have recapture at the state level. But it's all Abbott's fault for not funding the schools enough and pushing school vouchers...
My husband is correct that this whole proposition never should have made it to the ballot and those who knowingly pushed it on us are really at fault but voters ultimately voted for it without knowing what it was really about.
I'm probably willowed now....
