Thanks for the belly laugh!

Why don't you call your local library & ask them to tell you what AGNOSTIC means?

NO ONE knows God's "plan." How many times have you or your ilk made similar pronouncements?

No one knows his plan but we sure know his words.

He said it was set as a covenant that he would never destroy the world with water again.

There was no caveat, no addendum, no astrick by that promise.

I am familiar with that parable, Ma'am.

DID HE SAY that NO ONE else could ever "borrow" the rainbow symbol? What about the Care Bears? Rainbow Brite?

Way to take it in a completely different direction from the original discussion.

You said God may have meant for it to be used as a banner for LGBTQ group.

But let me leave this here.

Why would God give something so beautiful as a covenant to not destroy but be ok with a group using it as a symbol of what God clearly calls an abomination and destroys lives?

Ohfour · Hooker

Hey, Flannie...you should look up the word Parable. You obviously do not know what that word means....

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I'm not arguing anymore on the daily.

Flan, you are going to believe what want. Whatever is easier to live with.

I just hope some day, some how, you come to the truth before it's too late.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I am going to try to mow the yard! We have a different riding mower now.

If it can work the peddle, maybe I can be useful again.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Lazy day, just finishing up a few projects. You know the kind that only take 15 minutes or so. I may mow the lawn tomorrow just to even it out. It is so dry in places.

After all the weeding yesterday and the past week, things are looking good. So here I sit on my deck in the shade, it is really beautiful out.

My aunt is a nurse and she would tell us that sleep is when your body heals itself. So sleep away!!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Ok. I did it!!!

A good bit of it, anyway.

I mowed the front yard and most of the side yard before the mower stalled on me. I can't get it to start again.

I'm sore as can be. So much so that I'm shaking.

But I did it!

I was praising God the whole time.

No. A person's worth is not determined by their health.

I expressed a feeling I have to deal with sometimes.

You don't need to fake concern or pretend to be helpful.

Lord....I'm gonna take up for flan. I know what she was trying to say...I once told G I was worth more dead than alive. He about cried.
I know what Lily was saying, but in this instance, I think flan meant no harm. Its the messenger, not the message that is unwelcome.

This.

Flan: I think you expressed a kind sentiment to Lily. Unfortunately, you're so blatantly rude to her and others frequently enough that it's really hard to tell when you're genuinely being kind. You can't blame Lily for bristling at that post when the majority of your posts to her are rude.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Ok. Look.

I don't want a pile on Flan.

I said my peace.

Flan may or may not have meant anything by her comment.

If it was honest concern, thank you.

If it was a dig like every other post, well, I'm sure you can understand why I take anything you say with a grain of salt.

Let this be the end of it. Please.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Why don't you and flan ,just stop.

Please.

I'm so sick of the insults.

The snarky comments.

Ignore each other.

We had a wonderful afternoon/evening. We saw lots of beautiful glassware, just not sure what one actually does with most of it. The history tour was fascinating, we both really enjoyed it. I learned a lot about buildings I've been walking/driving past my whole life. The music & art festival was a bit of a bust. But I think it was more because we were tired and hungry. Went to dinner and saw the parents of a good friend. Went to Walmart and had to yank him down an aisle to avoid a coworker. He goes, geez, is there anyplace we go you don't know someone? Um, not really, welcome to small town life!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

That sounds great, DG.

Glad you had a great evening.

I got DH a subscription of bagels for father's day. Every three months they'll overnight fresh bagels from NYC in for him. It's from a site called amazingclubs.com. I've done the beer and coffee ones. Thought I'd try this one. Haven't received them yet, but we have cream cheese waiting.

Yes, Lily and I are oil and water, BUT despite our differences, I don't like to see her posting comments like she did.

And I would like to thank ohfour for her comments. Given our rocky relationship, that means a lot to me.

Divine Geek · Guru

Not to stir anything up, but I understand Lily's comments. When you have a chronic illness that limits your abilities, you do at times feel useless. For example, mornings like today when I sleep through 5 alarms and wake up 2 hours late. I feel horrible and a bit useless. Is that really true? No. But it's how you feel.

This is a safe space to express those feelings. At least for me it is.

And there is a difference between a condition that you can control and one that you can't.

Yes. And no. I logically know that I really can't control my condition. I can take my meds on time, I can keep to a schedule, but sometimes that just doesn't work. But I feel like if I just tried harder, I should be able to control it. I feel like I'm failing at controlling my life and my body. That if I was better, I could control my condition instead of it controlling me

are those logical feelings? No. But it doesn't make them any less valid.

Divine Geek · Guru

And I will admit, while people think they are being kind and understanding by saying things like "it's ok, you can't control it" or "we understand it's the IH talking" etc. sometimes it just pisses me off more. Because I want to be able to control it and I don't want the IH talking. I want to be normal. I try to take comments in the spirit they were made, but it still stirs feelings of how life just isn't f-ing fair. I don't want to have excuses made for my shortfalls. I would rather not have the shortfalls.

If you need to talk through stuff, go ahead.

and I don't mean to sound ungrateful for people trying to be sympathetic. But honestly, sympathy doesn't get me any where. I have one co worker that says "stupid f***ing IH" when I'm tired. That I find helpful. Because it makes me laugh and is exactly what I'm thinking.

Nope, just philly. I did ask him though, what kind of CC he wanted.

And by the way, they also have a bacon club.
